God of Tricksters

Chapter 1025 Running Away

"This is it…" Theo looked down, finding the hole that almost swallowed him earlier.

He had made the necessary preparation for this hunt, so he leaped into the hole without fear.

As expected, there was no pot-like monster appearing, allowing him to reach the bottom without any dangers.

In that instant, he used his Night Vision and looked at the tunnel leading to the troll's home.

Since he was facing a guy on his own turf, Theo became extremely careful. He looked around and examined this place.

The tunnel itself wasn't that big, barely holding ten people like him. Based on the troll's description, it was certainly not at the size where the troll could comfortably fight.

Hence, Theo took this to his advantage and started advancing forward while preparing for an ambush.

He even extended his Awareness to make sure nothing escaped his senses.

Five minutes passed, but nothing happened. There was only silence inside the cave.

Even his footsteps echoed louder than anything else. He knew that it was impossible for him to set up an ambush, considering the other party wouldn't have any problem picking up his footsteps.

"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows, wondering how far this tunnel would go. However, he kept walking forward as though he wasn't afraid of anything.

After half an hour, he thought he had covered one mile of distance. It should be enough for the hole to lead him to the deepest region on the surface.

Hence, he should be meeting the troll sooner or later.

'Still, like the information, there is no trap. In fact, it's pretty stressful if I need to watch the traps this whole time.' Theo muttered inwardly, examining his situation again.

But before he reached the troll's home, footsteps started echoing in the cave.

Even without his Awareness, he knew these footsteps came from the monsters.

'According to the information, there will only be six monsters coming at me. The other three will ambush me through a hole somewhere, and the others will attack me from the opposite directions, making it impossible for me to escape.

'I see. I understand what's going on.' Theo thought with a smile. The information from those six people was indeed useful. And because no one had yet succeeded in escaping from this encirclement, there was no information leak, resulting in the troll reusing this strategy again and again.

And this was the chance Theo had been waiting for. For his first move, Theo stopped in his tracks and waited.

Yes, he waited in the middle of the tunnel as though he had given up on this mission.

The monsters entered his vision a few seconds later as they marched at their fastest speed to take him by surprise.

Normally, the group would have created a defensive position and received them, but Theo did something different.

He turned around and started running to the outside, confusing the Rare Class Monsters.

"!!!" They exchanged looks for an instant as if asking what they were supposed to do when the situation wasn't like the troll described.

As expected from a Rare Class Monster, even though they had some intelligence, it wasn't enough to think about what they would do when everything went wrong.

They ended up following their basic instinct, which was to chase after Theo.

'As expected, these Rare Class Monsters only have the brain of a toddler. They look tougher than usual, but they will rely on their instinct in the end.' Theo thought while shooting Magic Bullets at them to maintain his distance.

Since there was no trap, he ran without the slightest doubt, heading straight to the exit.

"This is impossible. I am not prepared to fight all these monsters at once." Theo shouted while tossing his Skylink and sword, running for his life.

Seeing how desperate he was made the monsters get excited. After all, they wouldn't have any trouble bringing Theo back to this hole.

"Don't chase after me. Go away!" Theo kept running. His expression brightened when he saw the dead-end since all he needed to do was climb this wall.

He jumped from one place to another with the monsters following his movement as though they were used to it.

However, that wasn't important. As soon as Theo came out, he found a few more monsters waiting for him on the surface. He hurriedly used his Blink Skill to send himself away.

*Roar?!*

There was confusion in that roar as this was the first time they saw a human leaving the tunnel. Six monsters would be something they should be able to handle, so it wasn't supposed to go this way.

And their confusion raised again when they saw the monsters coming out of the hole, chasing after Theo. They even ordered those on the surface to go along because they needed to bring Theo back to the troll.

Even the monsters that had been hiding inside the wall suddenly came out of the ground and chased after him.

"I won't die here," Theo shouted, trying to gather their attention. Even those who were still confused immediately turned around and ran after him.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

Since they were not in the cave anymore, the monsters freely roared to communicate with each other.

Meanwhile, Theo was smiling inwardly, thinking, 'You must want me, right? Yep, yep. I know it well. If it were another group, after taking on those six monsters in the cave, you would ambush them from behind.

'It would cause chaos among them and force them to split their force. At the same time, the exit would have been closed by that time.

'After that, you will only need a killing blow which must be the monster that comes out of the wall. Yep, yep. I know that's what you're going to do thanks to the information.' Theo chuckled inwardly as he continued running, trying to bring these monsters as far as possible.

Little did he know, there was another Theo standing on the edge, staring at the hole.

"As I said, I am not prepared to fight all the monsters… I am here just to fight the troll." Theo shook his head in disappointment as he jumped to the bottom.
