God of Tricksters Chapter 844 – Trade

Chapter 844 - Trade

Theo looked at the second lightning strike and immediately waved his hand.
As if responding to his action, the Death Avatar threw the spear as hard as possible.
The throw even created a small shock wave.
With the spear's speed, the lightning didn't even have the chance to travel half of the distance as it was already struck by the spear.
The clash between the lightning and the God Killing Spear shook the entire mountain. The shock wave traveled far away.
The spear and the lightning seemed to be neutralizing each other's power at the same rate.
If this continued, the lightning might win the exchange, but it wouldn't have enough power to harm Theo anymore.
Having enough confidence in his own spear, Theo raised his foot and stepped on the ground.
The Telekinesis pushed the air upward, accumulating it on top of Theo's head. This Ascension Step wasn't meant to destroy the current lightning. It was the preparation for the last lightning because he knew this would be the hardest one.
He wanted to give his Divine Technique a chance to fight against the lightning.
The moment Theo took the third step, the spear finally disappeared, leaving only weak lightning. The Death Avatar caught the lightning and destroyed it to give a path for the Ascension Step.
As expected, the lightning immediately came out as though it was planning to take revenge on the previous clash.
Theo snorted and took the fourth step.
Ascension Step, 4th Step.
The torrential wind flew upward like that of a wind cannon.
As soon as they made contact, the lightning dispersed the wind in all directions, but the wind was more resilient.
It stopped the lightning from advancing for a few seconds. Within these few seconds, Theo had taken the fifth step.
Another wave of wind pushed the lightning back, shocking the King Class Monster who witnessed this battle.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to react because Theo had sent the sixth step, reinforcing the wind torrent above him.
With such a strong wind, the lightning was gradually pushed back, and its electricity was carried by the dispersed wind.
Although this meant Theo had an advantage against this last lightning, he wouldn't underestimate the lightning. He took another step to completely destroy it.
Ascension Step, 7th Step.
The power of the wind boosted the torrential wind and destroyed the lightning even faster as though there was a sharp spear dispersing the lightning.
Theo started panting as he still needed to look out for the consumption of his Magic Power. After all, there was still one last challenge, and he had used his Death Avatar a few times along with this Ascension Step.
With such pressure from the wind, the lightning returned to the thunder cloud and exploded, dispersing the cloud in all directions.
The remaining power contained in the wind was supposed to open a path on the cloud, but the cloud refused to move as if adhering to the rule of the seventh platform.
"…" The King Class Monster was speechless. Not only did Theo pass with flying colors, but the Lightning Authority had increased the difficulty of the last few challenges. Yet, Theo didn't even need his main body to fight the lightning strikes.
From the look of it, Theo should have no problem fighting against someone a hundred levels above him.
However, the monster still had a doubt and finally climbed the mountain to meet him.
"You are truly remarkable. This is the first time I see the lightning getting pushed back to the cloud." The monster chuckled. "I want to propose a trade with you."
"A trade?"
"With the Lightning Authority's order, we're required to have an equal trade that needs to be agreed by both parties without any use of coercion. So, I want to propose a deal.
"What I want is the secret to deal with the third and fourth platforms. Looking at your performance earlier, I knew that you experienced all that pain. It made me wonder what kind of training have you gone through to possess such tolerance against pain.
"If you agree to show me, I will teach you one of my techniques. Of course, I won't teach you until you understand it. I will only show you how it's done and the concept behind it. Whether you can replicate it or not depends on your talent."
The King Class Monster then turned around and punched forward. Suddenly, a thunderclap occurred and created a powerful shock wave that traveled forward according to the direction of his punch.
The shock wave was powerful enough that Theo could feel a strong push despite it not heading in his direction.
"This is what I'm planning to show you." The King Class Monster stated with a smile.
Theo thought for a moment. Since he was planning to leave the country, he might not meet this King Class Monster anymore. He thought it would be fine to show him a bit of his secret.
Theo summoned his Death Avatar and said, "This is how I do it… Don't resist, okay?"
Theo sent his Killing Intent to the monster's head.
'Hmm, my mind is protected by my power, so it's not easy to penetrate it. But this is him showing how it's done, I should lower my guard.' The King Class Monster thought and closed his eyes, allowing Theo to influence his mind.
Suddenly, his consciousness traveled to Theo's blood realm.
"This is…" The monster felt a chill all over his body before a sharp pain jolted his mind. He looked down and saw his hand falling to the ground. "Kh…"
The monster instinctively raised his guard again and stopped this power from influencing his mind. As a result, he returned to the real world and looked at Theo with a shocked face.
"I see. So, that's your power… It seems that you can die thousands of times. I can't even imagine the pain you've suffered to train your mind." The King Class Monster gritted his teeth, trying to calm his heart down.
After that, he said, "Anyway, what I showed you earlier is how to produce a thunderclap that can generate force to give a boost of your punch… since you used a few punches during the challenges.
"You can control your Magic Power to create two waves on your lower arm. When the waves clashed with each other, they would explode and produce that thunderous sound. All you need to do is release another wave of Magic Power to push the force generated from that thunderclap forward.
"That's all. With this, the trade is now completed… You may continue with the seventh trial."
