God of Tricksters

Chapter 168 - Art Beats Castle’s Wall

When Clone Theo suddenly stopped, the group looked at him, only to find him staring in a certain direction. The group instantly realized that Theo had returned and followed his gaze.

They soon found Theo coming with four spears and a backpack, looking very weird.

"Haha, I'm sorry for missing so suddenly." Theo chuckled and reached them. He handed the backpack to his clone along with the two spears. For the time being, his clone became his luggage carrier while he fought with the new spear.

"You took so long… What did you do, Theo?" Phyrill glanced at him, asking nonchalantly.

Listening to his tone, he knew even if he didn't want to say it, it would be fine.

However, Theo decided otherwise. He opened his mouth and explained the situation. "To put it simply, someone tried to sabotage us and made us lose this round by not registering for the emergency leave. There is an official soldier that will do it for us in front of the Teleportation Circle. Anyway, I will explain the details later… I just want you to know that everything has been processed."

The group widened their eyes, never expecting Theo to find something like that. They looked at each other and wondered whether Theo never trusted anyone.

Despite having doubts in their eyes, they didn't utter it so as to avoid hurting anyone.

"In any case, we should focus on the matter right now." Theo smiled and recalled what the clone had seen.

As he closed his eyes to ponder their next move, a monster reached the top and leaped to the sky. Its appearance was similar to that of a lion, but its body was blue and the mane was black. Blue lightning suddenly covered the lion as the latter landed on top of the wall.

"It's a Blue Lightning Lion."

"It should be a Level 200 Lion."

Many started shouting while Theo opened his eyes to check the lion along with the left and right sides to see whether they had reinforcement or not.

From what he could see, the people around them were students or some low-level hunters, so he knew this monster would kill them.

Without bothering to check, Alea and Sihan already charged at the lion to prevent any casualties.

Sensing their presence, the lion turned around and waved its right paw, trying to slice both of them with the claws.

Sihan knew he might not be strong enough to handle this, so he used his Frenzy again and stopped the powerful sweep using his shield.

The lion widened its eyes but soon leaped backward to avoid Alea's attack. Suddenly, Laust and Phyrill appeared from both sides and kicked the lion's stomach.

"Roar!" The lion roared in pain, but Alea cared no more and charged at him, cutting his head into two. Their level difference wasn't that much anyway. In addition to her blessing, Alea's strength was equal to the lion, resulting in her killing the lion in one blow.

"…" The people on the wall stared at Alea in silence. Even the soldiers stopped their movement and turned around immediately while checking the condition under the wall.

Meanwhile, a cheer erupted after witnessing Alea's skill.

"She is Alea Eilric!"

"She can kill a Level 200 Lightning Lion in a single swing?"

"Wow."

"Doesn't this mean her strength is close to Level 200 already?"

They realized despite the vast knowledge and technique the family and the school granted her, her level was already close to 200.

There was a saying that the students in the school wouldn't have enough level when they graduated because the talented people of their generations that chose to not go to school actually spent their lives hunting the monsters, resulting in becoming high level individuals.

However, Alea just broke that saying by showing her prowess. Without any level advantages, there was no way that those talented people could go against Alea, who attended so many lectures and understood many things.

Because of those two reasons, the school produced elites in the latter days. The graduates' only problem was their low level. When they caught up with other people's levels, they started to shine, thus becoming a renowned elite.

That was why the big families chose to send their children to attend the school and make connections with other influences at the same time.

While they were praising Alea, Theo stood on top of the wall to see what happened under him.

The scene was similar to the one he witnessed a moment ago. The monsters were stacking on top of each other, trying to climb the tall wall while the soldiers and hunters killed them to the best of their ability.

His gaze then turned to a certain monster group. There were only ten monsters in this group, but the fact they tried to destroy the metallic door piqued his interest.

"Now that I think about it, why do the monsters have the need to stack up? They can just destroy the wall with their skills, can't they? Even if they can't, then there are gates?" Theo narrowed his eyes and suddenly ducked down as the wall shook.

It was another barrage of skills from the monsters.

The skills hit the wall above the gate, which surprisingly left no mark.

"Ho?" Theo narrowed his eyes and looked at the wall. "Now that I think about it… The wall… Is it built from a metal capable of stopping a powerful barrage of attacks from Champion Rank Monsters? Dang, the materials may be from Supreme Rank Material Cards. If I'm not wrong, making this base requires many resources and every plot of land for the stores is expensive… No wonder it takes almost a decade just to build this one even with ten thousand workers…"

Theo remembered he once watched the record of this base out of curiosity in the past and understood that unless they had a Level 500 Monster, they wouldn't be able to break through this wall, becoming the opportunity to increase one's level.

Knowing what to do for the rest of the day, he quickly summoned his Magic Bullet and rained the monsters down with his Magic Bullet, trying to kill as many monsters as possible to increase his level. He needed to pick up his pace and became a Champion Rank hunter since he was curious about the gift he would receive from the blessing.

"Magic Bullet."
