God of Tricksters

Chapter 1650 Trapped

"Hmm? Something changes." The starfish realized the change in his opponents. "The hesitation in their eyes has disappeared."

Felix began his move, vanishing into thin air.

"!!!" The starfish widened its eyes. Although his senses managed to keep up with him, his body couldn't do it anymore. The best thing he could do was raise his arms to block Felix's slash.

*Cling!*

"This is..." The starfish realized Felix had gotten stronger. Due to the hesitation, Felix slowed down to make sure he had enough time to react. But after Agata assured them that the World Class Monster would be handled by Theo, there was no need to hold back anymore.

Even if his attack gave him a huge opening for the World Class Monster, he wouldn't mind, knowing Theo would be there to cover for him.

The same applied to Rea. She went straight to the starfish as if she was prepared to use her body to stop him.

The starfish punched forward like usual, but Rea suddenly stopped on her track and changed her form into Genbu Form. She released her snake and turned it into rope, attaching it to the starfish's right hand.

"I got him!" Rea shouted while planting the turtle shell on the ground, using it to stop her body when the starfish tried to pull her.

"This is..." The starfish was surprised because Rea managed to stop one of his hands while Felix kept overwhelming him with his speed, causing him to be unable to move from his position.

And this was where Ruth released her arrow.

The invisible flew toward the starfish. Even though he had felt the incoming arrow, he could do nothing except for using his metal to stop the arrow.

His Order might be the simplest one. It managed to cover his entire body, turning him into a monster with impenetrable skin.

And it was still effective against this arrow.

*Bang!*

The arrow hit his metal body and knocked him a bit, but there wasn't a dent on its skin unlike the lobster.

Although using this much Order to cover his body would be draining, he didn't mind spending all his energy today in order to destroy the humans.

'Tsk. It's not enough.' Ruth thought, narrowing her eyes. She needed a stronger bow if she wanted to penetrate its body.

As if answering her prayer, her body suddenly got enveloped by rainbow lights.

"Mhm?!" Ruth widened her eyes in shock. "What is this... I feel like my Strength, Magic Power, and Endurance increased drastically. Also, it seems that my body can concentrate more Magic Power and do it twice as fast. My eyes... No, not only my eyes but all my senses have been enhanced as well. I can look at this monster as if I'm using a scope and my skin even feels the Magic Power around me. Who..."

Ruth was confused and looked toward the enemy, finding Rea and Felix getting enveloped by the same strange light. They were also confused because their overall prowess was at least doubled.

Other than the trio, there were two more people who received this power up. They were Ray and Valerie. But unlike those three, Ray and Valerie knew whose ability this was.

Yes. This was the ability of the number one Enchanter in the world. Her support ability could even double a Transcendent Level Expert's strength.

As for the culprit, she was actually on the hill a quarter mile away from the battlefield. She was sitting on a tree branch, looking down at the battlefield with a calm expression. She even took out her cigarette and lit it up as if she had a complete belief in her abilities to strengthen their power.

"Hu..." She let out a long breath, filled with smoke. "Yeah, this is good shit. I was so occupied with all those matters for an entire week that I didn't even have time to smoke.

"Well, I didn't power up everyone here and send my people there yet because I didn't want people to know about my existence. But I've powered up all the core people who would push forward the battle.

"And let me see the power of the number one illusionist in the world, Theodore Griffith." She breathed out again and smirked, "Ah, shit. If only I had beers here... I would be watching the greatest fight while smoking and drinking. Such a shame."

...

Although they didn't know what was happening, Ruth, Rea, and Felix became even more determined to kill the monster before them. They finally had the strength to do so.

"Heh..." Felix smirked, excited because of this sudden power up. The moment he disappeared, the starfish's body trembled. It couldn't even block Felix's attack anymore as his body wasn't fast enough to react.

Before he realized it, Felix's blade hit his neck but was blocked by the impenetrable skin.

Rea hurriedly approached the starfish, using Felix as her cover. She kicked the starfish in the middle like stabbing a sword.

The Magic Power flew forward, entering the starfish's body before coming out from its back.

"Gah!" The starfish coughed as he felt his inside move due to that attack. "Impossible. An attack of that level could injure me?"

Rea smiled since there was a trick in that kick. Due to her being able to control her Magic Power better, Rea could try to infiltrate the pores in the skin to attack his inside.

Before the starfish could react, both Rea and Felix had leaped back to gain some distance. It was at that time, Ruth shot to the sky, gathering the Magic Power in the air before the arrow fell down, hitting him.

"Aaaaahhhh!" The starfish finally felt the impact for the first time. The arrow was so strong that even if he tried to withstand it, the ground ended up getting destroyed and turning into a crater.

*Bam!*

The starfish's legs felt like giving up due to this overwhelming pressure as he kept maintaining his Order to stop this attack.

"Haaa!" The starfish roared and eventually deflected the arrow with his head. But this time, the starfish panted as if he had just expended a quite amount of energy, giving more confidence to the trio. They could kill it, they thought.

Unbeknownst to them, the World Class Monster had been observing them this whole time, noticing something from those lights.

"Mhm... Those rainbow-colored lights... An Order? No, it might even be stronger. But Theodore Griffith isn't supposed to have this power... Don't tell me, we've been tricked? There are actually two Saints that are going to ambush me?" The shark widened his eyes as if realizing Theo's trick.

However, it was too late because the moment he turned around, he found Theo standing on the field behind him.
