God of Tricksters Chapter 572 – Big Four

Chapter 572 - Big Four

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Theo's face.
"No, where is his clone? His clone should be setting up some traps around here." Lorenzo gasped and looked around before realizing. "I see. The one in front of me is the real one. After all, the rule states that we can't take off our sunglasses. The clone is not counted as a person, so your clone can't wear it!"
"Then, there is a clone around us and we have no idea where he is…" Luka finally understood their situation and looked around.
"Those Magic Bullets actually came from the real Theo and his illusion just followed the motion to make it look real." Lorenzo gritted his teeth.
Ignazio and Mara seemed to have noticed something from their expressions, albeit their reaction was one step too late.
An eagle suddenly dove down, heading straight at Ignazio from his blind spot.
Even Mara realized it a second too late as the eagle almost hit Ignazio. "Ig—"
"I know that you will do this… I expected that you're nasty, Theo." Ignazio smirked and turned around while swinging his sword as fast as possible.
Eagle Theo turned back to his human form and clenched his hand, covering it with green-colored energy.
"Cannon Blast!" Theo sent a punch forward while twisting his arm to create spinning energy, mimicking Nella's Twister.
The energy from the Cannon Blast hit Ignazio directly as the ground beneath him shattered. However, this meant Theo needed to stop, unable to defeat him.
This was enough for Mara to swing her sword, extending her blade to cut Clone Theo's neck.
"Sadly, it's not enough to defeat me." Ignazio smirked as he felt good after outsmarting Theo for the first time… Or so he thought.
A delayed Magic Bullets suddenly emerged from the ground and hit him from the back, resulting in a mysterious screen appearing and receiving all those bullets for him.
"What?!" Ignazio and Mara widened their eyes in disbelief. Ignazio quickly turned around and glared at Theo.
Theo only smiled and said, "I also know the fact you know me well."
"Sh—" Ignazio wanted to curse but soon realized Theo used his knowledge about him not doing anything meaningless to turn around the situation. He couldn't help but close his eyes in disappointment. "I have lost…"
[Ignazio is defeated.]
"!!!" Luka and Lorenzo hurriedly retreated for a moment, realizing Theo's tricks seemed to be deeper than they initially thought.
Theo used that chance to retreat to a denser area while summoning his clone in front of everyone. He waved his hand as if challenging them. "Now, now. Let me entertain you three with all my abilities."
'That area… it's denser than here. He must have laid some traps around there like last time.' Lorenzo didn't dare to enter Theo's domain because he would be walking into traps.
Luka also decided to wait for a moment, muttering inwardly, 'His Magic Power must be quite low at this point, but there is a chance that the clone he summoned just now is another illusion as he used the tree to hide his real clone.'
Mara bit her lips. 'At the same time, if we choose not to engage him, Theo will have more advantages as time goes on since we deplete our Magic Power while leaving him alone. It seems we really need to walk into his traps.'
Little did they know, Theo only had a fourth of his Magic Power left and he had no plan in laying traps in the woods because it took a toll on his mind and Magic Power. It would just become a disadvantage for him, and it seemed the seed he planted in their mind had become useful.
All of them were standing without moving an inch, thinking about his next move.
"You're a nasty guy." Lorenzo smiled as a portal appeared in front of him. Instead of absorbing one attack, he made another portal not far from Theo.
Pink-colored energy suddenly flew out of the portal, cutting all the trees behind Theo down.
Bam.
The trees were falling down in succession, allowing them to see what was going on behind those trees. In other words, with just this one swing, Lorenzo made Theo unable to utilize his traps again because they would find them and his clone would be spotted as well.
"Still, it's too early for you to win." Lorenzo shook his head helplessly. "I admire a guy like you. If we fight one on one in this terrain, even I don't know whether I can defeat you or not."
Theo smiled and handed the spear to his clone before moving back, allowing his clone to be on the offensive this time.
"It's useless to talk. Let's end this battle quickly, shall we?" Theo said as the Magic Power fluctuation around his body increased. "Magic Augmentation."
"!!!"
"Wind Stomp!" Luka hit the ground with all his might and released his wind, creating a shock wave that traveled in a fan-shaped area toward Theo.
Clone Theo moved forward and thrust his spear, releasing a similar shock wave with his Cannon Blast, neutralizing Luka's attack.
At the same time, the real Theo summoned his Magic Bullets and merged them into one. Because of his Magic Augmentation, the Magic Bullet became even more powerful.
'I don't have the skill to shape my own Magic Bullet yet, but this should be enough.' Theo thought while aiming.
Lorenzo used that chance to approach Theo, but a clicking sound was heard when he was about to swing his sword.
It turned out Luka hit him from the side and his strength was enough to launch him toward Mara.
While flying, Lorenzo stomped the ground and sent himself to the sky as Mara's Sword Wave flew past him and ended up hitting Luka's axe.
"Tsk." Luka wasn't pleased by the attack because he couldn't attack while blocking.
At the same time, Theo sent his Magic Bullets to the flying guy, Lorenzo.
The latter hurriedly slashed the air to absorb Theo's attack, but he gasped when he felt the Magic Bullet was stronger than his ability. "It can't absorb… That must be due to his enhancement skill."
The Magic Bullet hit Lorenzo's gate and exploded, destroying it in the process. As for Lorenzo, he used his Teleportation to appear two inches above the ground and land safely.
"This situation is trickier than I expected…" Lorenzo let out a long sigh.
