God Of Tricksters

Chapter 585 – Challenge

Standing on top of the hill, Theo reassessed their situation, looking at the camp. The settlement contained many tents built of leather and wooden spikes. He could see some corpses all over the place.

He turned around, staring at ten people. They were Agata, Enrica, and the eight group leaders. He stated, "The scouts will set our perimeter and work together with the assassins to eliminate the deserting goblins or those who patrol around the area.

"The second and third groups will follow me storming the front door. The fourth and fifth group are to follow right after the goblins come out. Magician Groups will hit the most populated area. Half of the healers will go to the battlefield later, while half will maintain their position. Understood?"

All of them nodded their heads with serious expressions. After knowing Theo's reputation, they didn't mind following his orders since it sounded logical as well.

"Good." Theo then faced the camp without any walls around it. He summoned his clone and handed his spear.

"Operation begins," said Theo as he leaped forward.

Ava was standing on top of his shoulder while Agata, Enrica and two other groups followed him from behind.

"Magic Bullet." Both Theos summoned their Magic Bullets and combined them into one, forming two big Magic Bullets.

He released them to the sky as the latter made a parabolic movement.

The goblins saw the incoming Magic Bullets and shouted.

"Kroar!"

"Kroak!"

Their voices echoed through the whole settlement, calling all the others out of their tents. Unfortunately, there were two unfortunate goblins because Theo used his Tracking Ability in his Magic Bullets.

Each Magic Bullet hit a goblin and flattened them before creating a massive explosion that alerted the whole camp.

Before they managed to make their moves, both Theos appeared next to a goblin and pierced their heads simultaneously, killing another two.

"Come." Theo smiled and waved his hand, trying to provoke all of them. He observed this green-colored humanoid creature. Their height wasn't less than three feet and their body didn't seem to pack much power. They had a pair of long green ears and a big nose.

They carried swords, spears, or even bows. Some of them even had a helmet or armor.

In a single look, Theo knew all of them were the same goblin, so he thought there was no abnormality since the goblins took all the armor the human had.

Clone Theo raised his foot and covered it with Magic Power Expansion. This time, he spread the energy to the entire surrounding.

Instead of creating a crater, Theo generated a powerful shock wave that blew all the tents around him, revealing the goblins inside.

It turned out there were at least twenty to thirty goblins on his back and sides. When they were exposed, the goblins charged forward, trying to kill Theo.

Theo didn't even bother to look at them as twelve people made their appearance and struck the goblins from behind.

The goblins sensed their presence and easily stopped their blades. However, the Holy Knight Order seemed to be better than them as they immediately slammed their big shields at the goblins before pushing them to the side.

Another twelve attackers appeared. They all sliced the goblins' necks with the opportunity created by the first twelve. Because of this ambush, the group managed to kill twelve goblins in a single move.

Unfortunately, that tactic couldn't be used again as the goblins had come out of their tent.

The goblins looked at them and started covering their weapons with Magic Power. Some goblins even created a fire above their heads.

Seeing this, the twelve knights hurriedly formed a line in front of Theo with their shields in the front, protecting anyone behind him. The fourth and fifth groups formed a second line behind them to add more power if necessary.

"Kroar!"

"Kroark."

The goblins shouted as they seemed to have no patience to wait. Some even started drooling when they saw female knights or even Agata and Enrica.

'Their discipline is quite good.' Theo muttered while looking at the church's knights.

Before the goblins attacked them, Theo and his clone lifted their hands. "Illusion Construct."

Suddenly, ten feet walls emerged on the side of the knights, stretching over thirty feet long.

The goblins actually gathered in the center and proceeded without touching the walls. Some even looped around the wall.

Unfortunately for them, this was just a trick for them to gather in one position. Suddenly, two huge streams of water and a bolt of ice fell upon them, creating a small flood that soon got frozen to catch the goblins. After that, a boulder fell on top of them, crushing them. Some died and some survived, but this gave the opportunity to the knights to rearrange their positions.

Seeing the front had been blocked, the second and third groups stepped to the side and charged at the goblins that looped around the walls.

"Fourth and fifth group attack them from the center. The wall is just an illusion!" Theo shouted.

Hearing his instruction, they gathered in the center before the goblins could lift the boulder. After a few seconds, they went through the walls and killed some goblins with a sneak attack.

Still, the enemy number was almost ten times their number on the battlefield. The goblins that didn't have the chance to attack them from head-on decided to loop around.

"Theo!" Agata called his name. They were going to be surrounded soon, so she wanted to retreat.

However, Theo made a different decision.

"Hold those in the right with your illusion smoke or something. I will handle the one on the left. It's still too early to retreat." Theo shook his head.

"Got it." Agata hurriedly moved according to his decision and placed her hand on the ground. A pink smoke began to rise from the ground and covered their movements. "Well, I don't think I can fight more than ten goblins, but hindering them is feasible… I guess."

Ava appeared on her shoulder while raising her foot as if saying she was going to help her. "Kyu!"

"I feel assured now." Agata smiled.

On the other side, Theo used his Magic Augmentation and placed his hand on the ground. "Illusion Construct."

Suddenly, many individual walls appeared. Their width was less than five feet, but with them scattered around, the goblins had no choice other than to maneuver this small labyrinth Theo created.

Theo raised his spear and smiled as his battle was about to begin.
