God Of Tricksters

Chapter 98 - Rematch



Chapter 98 – Rematch

Theo frowned and took a deep breath. He didn't bring his spear today since he thought he would only learn Magic, but since the other party wanted to have a spar, the fight should be hand-to-hand combat with Magic.

Ellen also didn't have her staff, so he might have a chance.

"I want you to kill me without holding back," said Ellen while looking at Theo coldly. "I really want to see your strength. I hope you can make me see the potential Phyrill mentioned yesterday."

Before Theo could reply, Ellen already raised both hands with her left hand in the front, ready to intercept any attack that came to her.

Theo took one step back and prepared himself for the battle.

Without any warning, Ellen raised her hand while summoning three Ice Lotuses above Theo's head.

"You don't expect to let your opponent wait for you, right?" Ellen smirked before releasing her killing intent to jolt Theo's mind. "Bloom, Ice Lotus."

Theo already knew Ellen would do something like this.

As the ice lotuses fell from the air, Theo had taken another few steps back, avoiding all three lotuses that became his shield against Ellen.

Summoning his clone, Theo jumped to the left side while his clone went to the right side.

"Which one…" Ellen muttered while squinting her eyes.

Due to her ice lotuses, she didn't know which one was the real him. Luckily, Theo needed at least three seconds to reach her with his full speed since they used yesterday's data, giving both of them Level 50 status.

Ellen summoned five head-size crystals above her head and shot them toward the real Theo.

"Freezing Shot."

The ice magic shot like a laser. Facing this attack, Theo ran as quickly as possible and leaped forward, trying his best to avoid this attack without any skill.

Unfortunately, one of the Freezing Shots hit his thigh. He used both hands to land on the grass while his clone stopped and summoned the Magic Bullets.

"!!!" Ellen narrowed her eyes and turned around, smiling. "So, you're the real one."

"Magic Bullet." Clone Theo released all ten Magic Bullets with a pinpoint trajectory where all of them would hit Ellen.

Seeing this, Ellen simply moved to the right and successfully dodged all those bullets. She then gave another piece of advice. "Theo. Even if you're confident with your aim, you should go for a more spread-shot. Some may miss, but it's better than no hit at all. With our distance, it's easy for me to avoid, so you should take into account where I go. If you go for a spread, that means I only have two options. Either use a shield or jump. That's where you should strike."

Clone Theo nodded and shouted, "I understand."

Unbeknownst to her, right when she started giving the advice, the real him had gotten so much closer despite his injury.

"Of course. You need to have a clear field of vision. Don't focus on one person alone." Ellen made a smirk and pointed her hand to Theo as if she had predicted him going at her. Four star-shaped blue lights emerged from the air, shining. "Ice Star."

Theo frowned, remembered how he got hit by this attack in their match and promised himself to avoid it next time.

He used the same tactic as yesterday. He went around the Ice Stars while maintaining his vision by using his clone's eyes.

Surprisingly, the stars didn't turn around anymore, so he thought he was clear to attack her.

Clone Theo summoned another wave of Magic Bullet as cover fire.

"Magic Bullet."

"No, you won't." Ellen raised her right hand toward Clone Theo before a ten-foot ice wall emerged from the ground, stopping all the Magic Bullets. At the same time, she used her left hand to use a different skill to the real one. "Frost Nova."

A blue light emerged from her hand as it flew like a bullet.

Theo didn't have a change of expression and seemed to be receiving this attack without being able to do anything.

Boom.

An explosion occurred as the Ice Mist produced by the Frost Nova spread around, hiding Ellen inside.

Clone Theo used his Magic Bullet again and tried to aim where Ellen was standing, but he realized he couldn't find her.

Before he could release all those bullets, Ellen already released another skill of hers.

"Ice Wave."

It was the same Ice Wave she used to create a path for her and Sihan to escape from encirclement. Theo released the Magic Bullets, but all of them hit the ice spikes from the ground.

"Oh no." The Ice Wave ultimately arrived at his position and pierced his body in a few different spots.

"Victory." Ellen smiled.

Suddenly, A torrential wind appeared among the mist as Theo emerged from the white ice mist and ran toward Ellen's back while releasing his Awareness completely to make his presence bigger.

Ellen gulped down as Theo's presence sent a chill down to her spine. Her body became tense and her heart beat rapidly. She glanced at the one she believed as a clone, finding the same Elemental Shield that blocked Hontar's attack in the first round.

Half of the shield was broken while the other half was frozen, but the shield managed to protect Theo from any damage, so it had done its job well.

But what made it surprising was the fact that both Theo and his clone could use skills. It was more amazing than any clones she knew. It was at this time, she realized what just happened. 'Wait a minute? They both can use skills? Then the one that I thought was real…'

She widened her eyes and drew a gasp, finding the "real" Theo turned out to be a clone as it disappeared after getting hit by her Magic.

In other words, Theo had been tricking her since the beginning by letting her hit his leg. And she couldn't react the same way as yesterday since Theo came from her blind spot.

She couldn't help but smile while saying, "Creating layers of tricks, you managed to trick me from the beginning. So, this is the real Theodore Griffith, huh. You are twice if not thrice stronger than yesterday… No wonder Alea chose you."

"This won't be like yesterday," Theo said in a cold tone and used his Monkey Fist. With his right hand glowing, his fingers joined together as if it was a spear. He took one step behind Ellen and pierced her heart. "Thank you for defeating me yesterday. It's a great help."

"Is that so? That's good." Ellen closed her eyes while smiling.
