God Of Tricksters

Chapter 224 – Battle Royale (2)

Nicholas' expression turned serious as he placed his hand on the ground. "I call thee. Adnoartina."

The ground began to crack before a giant orange-colored lizard emerged from the ground, allowing Nicholas to ride on its back. The lizard was ten feet in height and fifty feet in length, occupying a large portion of the battlefield.

"Alea, be careful, as the name implies, his blessing comes from the local Lizard God called Adnoartina. It's the Diyari People's guardian spirit." Theo informed Alea of the status of their opponents.

Even Hengki stopped for a second to look at the lizard, knowing he was supposed to face the lizard if there was no dark horse like Theo's group.

"Understood. Killing a big monster is my specialty." Alea nodded with a smile and raised her sword.

Nicholas furrowed his eyebrows because Lizard was traditionally a sacred being in his belief, so he felt a bit offended by Alea's thoughtless remark. The lizard suddenly opened its mouth as red light shone inside its throat.

"Alea!"

"I know." Alea became serious as she waited for the lizard a bit and leaped to the side, looking at the Lizard, releasing a small red light that turned into a huge explosion as soon as it touched the ground.

Alea and Theo were pushed to the side with both of them using their Shield to block the intense flame. However, Alea didn't let that attack go. She waved her sword vertically toward the Lizard's neck. "Inch Slash."

The Lizard seemed to have felt the incoming attack and raised its hand, slamming the energy from Inch Slash like nothing.

As the two began to fight, Hengki also dove to the ground in order to strike Theo. Yet, right before he reached him, another huge hand appeared above his head.

The shadow from it instantly made him notice the incoming attack and turned around, using his wings to block this attack.

Bam.

The hand slammed Hengki to the ground and made a small crater, but Hengki seemed alright.

This was a battle royale, so Theo quickly took advantage of the situation and appeared above the lizard's hand using his Blink and thrust his spear. "Cannon Blast."

Unfortunately for him, Hengki used the same trick as earlier and destroyed the ground beneath him to set him free from the lizard's hand. After that, he flew to the sky and flapped his wings as fifteen feathers fell off.

"Feather Shot."

He aimed all those feathers at Nicholas, to which the latter blocked it by using the lizard's tail.

At the same time, Theo also summoned his Magic Bullet. Although his head faced Hengki, his eyes took a peek of Nicholas' position in the corner of his eyes and released all forty Magic Bullets.

Because he needed to use the hand to attack Hengki earlier and the tail to block the feathers, there was nothing that he could do to stop Theo's Magic Bullets.

Hence, Nicholas himself turned around and raised his hand. Red light covered his right hand and formed a huge claw like that of a lizard and swept all Magic Bullets from the left.

"…" Theo sighed, 'I guess, using Illusion Multiplier and Manipulation are not enough to control the situation.'

Suddenly, Hengki appeared next to Theo, planning to kick his head with both feet, albeit he was the one who got kicked by Alea.

Nevertheless, this was a 2 vs 1 vs 1 fight, so Alea and Theo had a great advantage by covering each other.

As soon as she landed, Alea then leaped back to Nicholas with her sword turning red as if it started to melt. Meanwhile, Theo ran toward Hengki to beat him up in that position.

Nicholas kept his calm and noticed the secret behind Alea's sword before a fire appeared in his lizard's hand, stopping Alea on her track.

"Melting Sword." Alea struck the claw, only to find it was useless. Both of them had Fire Affinity, so it was hard for them to melt each other.

Hengki, on the other hand, dodged Theo's spear as soon as he landed on the ground before flying to the sky again.

Theo didn't let him and summoned his Magic Bullets again. Instead of him or Nicholas, Theo glanced at his teammates.

"!!!" Hengki noticed Theo's intention and landed on the ground again as the Magic Bullets flew toward his teammates.

He stretched his wings, so no Magic Bullets hit his teammates, but him not flying was what Theo wanted.

'Blink.' Theo appeared next to him and thrust his spear. "Swift Energy."

Hengki used his right-wing to stop Theo, but he found his wing pierced by Theo's spear.

However, Theo was the one who realized he f*cked up. Because of that thrust, he slightly moved forward and lost his balance, entering Hengki's attack range. 'Sh*t.'

It turned out Hengki sacrificed his wing after knowing Theo would just drag him down to the ground by using his teammates. That sacrifice was precious because his punch finally hit Theo on the face and blew him fifty feet away.

Theo's body spun, landed on the ground, and rolled a few times before stopping. At that time, Hengki already came closer to him and prepared to deliver another devastating blow.

Seeing Theo was about to get attacked, Alea tried to help him, only to find the lizard appear between them. For Nicholas, as long as one enemy got eliminated, no matter who it was, it would improve the situation greatly. Hence, he hoped Theo dropped out of this competition immediately.

Hengki's hand was covered with Magic Power and turned into a talon. "Garuda Talon."

He planned to crush Theo, but the latter summoned two Elemental Shields.

Hengki was quite surprised by its power. Although he managed to destroy the first shield, his attack stopped on the second shield as he had no energy left to spare for that attack.

Suddenly, Hengki threw himself to the back before a spear appeared right before his eyes. Yes, Theo actually faked his own condition and used it to lure Hengki in.

After stopping that fist, Theo rolled his body once more and thrust his spear to his neck.

As expected from Hengki, he managed to react and throw himself out of that trouble, albeit the spear grazed his right chest and cheek.

Blood began to drip from the wound as Hengki looked at Theo rising from the ground and wiping the blood that came out of his mouth and had mixed with the dirt.

"You're one hell of a guy, Theodore Griffith." Hengki smiled and acknowledged Theo's tricks. He had truly been beaten by one trick after another.
