God of Tricksters

Chapter 36 - Ants

Despite him killing two of them, it didn't change the fact that he was still in a dangerous situation.

'What should I do?" His expression darkened when he realized something. 'I didn't realize that they were following me this whole time, so our difference was big. Just like a weaker person could kill someone more powerful with poison, but it's a trick that can only be used once. I…'

Theo summoned his clone again as he passed the spear instead of the sword this time.

"Catch him! He must be using a skill to create a clone of himself, but the main body should be the one holding the sword! Be careful of his trick! No matter how high your level is, if you don't have a head or heart, you will die!" The captain shouted and commanded the rest of his subordinates.

When Theo heard that speech, he couldn't help but smile and look at his clone once.

The captain obviously didn't let it pass and shout. "No! There is a possibility that he can change position with his clone. Apprehend both of them!"

The two hesitated for a split second before going to separate ways.

On the contrary, both Theos turned around and ran in a different direction to make the captain's words more believable. It was just a small gesture, but it was enough since Theo just killed two of their friends.

"If I can escape today, I will haunt the Lange Family until they perish!" Clone Theo laughed and shouted, using the ability he got from the upgrade yesterday to the fullest.

"!!!" They were attracted to that voice as the one following Clone Theo smirked and sped up. "I see. You must be the real one."

When he was about to strike Theo, his friend's voice echoed in his ears. "Watch out!"

It turned out that the clone could speak, fooling them in that instant. Or it might be like what the captain said, Theo could switch position with his clone, albeit in a far smoother detail as they didn't notice it happened.

Little did they know Theo actually used the same trick to kill the toad. By attacking the enemy from their blind spot with a powerful E Rank Skill, he would be able to severely injure if not kill someone in one attack, allowing him to gain a massive advantage.

However, Theo's move was read by the captain as he appeared between the two.

His eyes were fierce as he struck the magic bullet, deflecting it to the ground.

"It's enough, you punk!" The captain leaped toward Theo and grabbed his head before crashing it to the ground.

"Gah!" Theo felt his skull was about to crack as that force alone created a small crater on the ground.

His clone halted for a second and got apprehended by the other assassin. He quickly took a knife and hit the clone's thigh. It turned out that he had been chasing the clone this whole time as it disappeared, leaving only the spear behind.

The reason he believed Theo was the one in front of him was due to things. First was his speech ability, while the second was his weapon. According to the information, Theo was a spear user, so if he needed to run, it would be better to have the weapon he knew the best.

But it turned out to be a deception. Theo tried to play the mind game and managed to kill two Elite Rank Assassins by taking advantage of their carelessness.

Unfortunately for him, his luck ran short when the captain appeared and handled everything by himself. Theo might not know this, but they were just a bunch of trainees while the captain was the real elite, so everything would be useless when the captain made a move himself.

After pinning him down on the ground, the captain fixed his posture before kicking Theo's abdomen, launching him to the air.

Theo's body spun a few times before his back hit a large tree and stopped on its track.

"Gah!" Theo spat a mouthful of blood. His consciousness became fuzzy and the pain made his body feel cold. His body was shaking as he lost control over them. In other words, Theo was f*cked up.

'Ah. I have been trying to rely on my power, but I guess this is the end. The assassins said that I wouldn't die, but I will definitely suffer after this. I really wish my luck is higher, so when everything is over, I can still increase my power to have my revenge. It's nothing different from what I have undergone this whole time.'

Despite giving up, Theo's determination remained. He didn't want this to be the end of his career and died before finding his brother. Theo knew… The only thing that could take him away from this situation was luck, but he had no knowledge in what form it would come or would they even come to him?

The captain, on the other hand, walked toward him and grabbed his hair, lifting him up. "You punk. How dare you kill my subordinates. I can't kill you, but it doesn't mean that I can't make you a disabled person. I will make you feel dying is better than living."

As he was about to torture Theo, a breeze swiped the area, sending a chill down their spines as someone just landed behind them. She had long white hair tied into a ponytail. Despite her aged face, the way she held the spear looked like a warrior.

Her hair fluttered due to the breeze, but more importantly, the wind suddenly stopped when she smiled.

Unknown to them, they felt fear for the first time their eyes intertwined as though an invisible hand choked their necks.

"W-who are you?!" The one who chased Clone Theo shouted while pointing his sword toward her with his shaking hands.

After five seconds, the answer had yet to come, so he clenched his teeth and leaped toward her so the latter didn't run away.

However, the conclusion came in a sudden. The old woman raised her hand and slapped the assassin's head like it was nothing. There was no reaction or whatsoever as if her slapping the guy was nothing but a fate.

That slap turned out to be the most dangerous slap that the guy would ever get. It obliterated the head instantly as the blood splattered all over the floor while the body flew due to the momentum, landing only several feet away from them.

The old woman shook her head and fixed her hair with the same hand that killed the assassin. She looked at them with a slight curve on her lips while saying. "Just get out of my way, ants."
