God of Tricksters

Chapter 781 – Armor?

Chapter 781 - Armor?

[See? Just ask. It's easy.]

'You can say that because the shadow doesn't kill me right now. If he intended to kill me, I wouldn't even hear you saying those words.' Theo complained.

[I know them more than you.]

'That makes sense. How about telling me more about them?'

After getting that question, there was no response from him, leaving Theo disappointed.

Theo then watched Ava with a serious expression and asked carefully, "Is it fine for us to be here? I have been here all the time, but it doesn't seem like I want the energy she's releasing right now…"

'You have a different path. Seeing your relationship with this kid, I have no doubt that you're going to acquire an Order sooner or later. You'll understand it at that time.' The shadow shook its head.

"…" Theo wanted to ask more, but he was afraid of pissing this shadow off, considering he was a stranger. So, he decided to stop talking, waiting for Ava to finish.

But this time, it wasn't him who opened his mouth. It was the shadow.

He looked at him and muttered, 'You're… here means… you're challenging that person's house, huh.'

"Eh?" Theo widened his eyes.

'You will die if you want to challenge her right now. It's true that you can put up a great fight, but your power is not enough.'

"What do you mean? Are you talking about the Moniac Dungeon… I mean, the buried place is not far from here?" Theo asked with a serious expression.

'I know more than what you think, Human. Including the facility you've built in this place. Do you think I will let anyone build something in my territory without my permission?' The shadow squinted his eyes.

"No, no. I don't mean that."

'Anyway, I've told you. If you keep going around that place, you're going to die sooner or later. But if you're still hard-headed and want to challenge her, go to the entrance and say, Eilhis Mertorie Quala Mala.'

"Ehm, what?" Theo tilted his head in confusion as he couldn't translate the last four words.

But the one that answered his question was Hel instead of the shadow.

[That's my armor…]

'Huh, what?' Theo's body trembled.

[Go get that armor right now. I'll help you turn that Death Energy into a normal one and… What is it again? Ah, status points. I will convert it to those.]

[Oh, that armor?]

The God of Mischief suddenly entered the conversation.

[Yes. The armor I have for the sake of convenience, not protection. Well, I'm strong, so I don't need to get more protection. The armor can absorb the Order released by your body and can turn into any kind of outfit.]

[Including a dress or any sexy underwear. Hurry up and get it. This armor will make your Metamorphosis even more convenient.]

The God of Mischief didn't seem to have given up on the idea of turning Theo into a woman.

[Anyway, it might not benefit you right now, but it'll surely help you in the future. Just trust me and get that armor.]

Theo didn't know what to say, never expecting to hear this kind of equipment.

'Anyway, I've told you about it. Whether you die or not, that's not my problem. That hag is trying to control an Order that is not hers, so I think it's a good idea to kill her by using you. This can be an ordeal for that child.' The shadow looked at Ava.

"…" Theo didn't know what he should do with this information. On the one hand, an artifact left by ancient history was precious. On the other hand, he wondered what kind of attention he would bring to cause this kind of uproar.

Looking at Theo's face, the shadow didn't continue. It simply watched until Ava was done.

It took her another hour before the lightning abruptly disappeared, leaving Ava floating in the air.

"My job has finished. There is a reason why we value those who understand Orders… Just know that they possess an Order for a reason." The shadow suddenly disappeared as the dome also shattered into pieces like that of glass.

"Theo." Ava leaped toward him and clung to his shirt. "That was scary."

"The shadow?"

"Yes."

"I thought you knew there wouldn't be any fight or something."

"No. My mother only told me not to fight other King Class figures unless necessary. They're friendly until proven otherwise. That's all."

"…" Theo facepalmed and asked, "By the way, is it true that your Order is almost complete?"

"Yes. I believe I've told you about my Moon Constellation, right?"

"Now that I think about it, you said you'll become a King Class Monster if you can create all seven stars."

"Yes. I've created five of them, so it's almost complete."

"I see." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "You're not going to tell me anything about Order?"

"I've told you everything I know. No one has ever explained anything about Order to me other than my mother. Even my mother told me that the Order will come to me naturally, so I don't need to worry about it."

"Well…" Theo shrugged. "Anyway, I'm glad that everything went well."

"Yes." She looked at where the shadow disappeared and said, "Thank you."

Theo didn't know whether the monster was still there or not, but he still thanked the shadow for protecting him and Ava. "Thank you."

After that, he turned around and said, "Anyway, let's go back. It's already 9 am. I'm afraid those girls are going to get angry because I haven't gone back."

"Hehe. You were scared that if you watched me with your clone, the shadow would kill you."

"And you were the one clinging to me because you were scared."

"Pfft." Ava and Theo ended up laughing. They returned to the facility, finding Agata and Maya standing outside.

"You're 4 hours late." Maya pouted, complaining.

"Sorry, too many things happened." Theo sighed, feeling a bit tired due to the shadow's appearance. "I'm going to take Ava back to the room first."

"Just the clone will do," Ava added.

Theo nodded and summoned his clone. Meanwhile, he picked up the luggage that Maya and Agata had brought with them.

After that, they ran toward the dungeon.
