God of Tricksters

Chapter 194 - Easier To Kill But More Dangerous

The green liquid splattered all over the floor and their shields. Theo had two Elemental Shields, but one melted while the other one was half destroyed. Alea, on the other hand, saw her shield having no problem.

"…" Theo narrowed his eyes and realized that her shield was more special than he thought. Considering the latter got the shield from her blessing, it was obvious that it wasn't your typical shield.

'Huft. I really need to work harder. My D Rank Elemental Shield is not enough.' Theo lamented on his skill.

Little did he know, Alea didn't share the same opinion. She simply found that Theo could summon two shields from his Elemental Shield amazing.

She bought that skill together with Theo at that time, so she knew the exact description of that skill. It was impossible to summon two shields unless Theo did something special.

And the only thought in her mind was Theo's Force Control. She dropped her jaw and thought, 'Did his Force Control allow him to wield two shields? Is he still a human? How can someone evolve so fast?'

Unfortunately for them, both of them didn't have time to praise each other's skills as they had trouble with the snake.

Theo took a glance to the side and summoned his clone to help the other four. They seemed to be struggling, so Theo planned to finish both monsters at the same time.

Not knowing his plan, Alea didn't fear the snake anymore and charged forward. Seeing her shield didn't melt, the snake recognized Alea as its true contender.

Alea could see that the other end of the snake had emerged from the corner, revealing its true length. The snake was a very long one. At least fifty feet in length, the snake suddenly looped around Alea with his skin covered in a white liquid.

"Poison," Theo warned Alea while looking at the residual poison that got splattered on the ground. Surprisingly, the poison didn't melt the ground, which was weird. If the poison was enough to melt his Elemental Shield, the ground should start to melt. But if it didn't work… Theo raised his eyebrows as he noticed something useful.

The snake then opened its mouth once again and formed a white liquid. He spat that white liquid right at Alea before Theo used his Blink to appear between them, blocking Alea from that liquid.

Surprisingly, the Elemental Shield that melted earlier didn't even feel anything and simply let the poison dripped from the shield and touched the ground. This time, the ground began to melt.

"Theo?!" Alea was still clueless about what happened, but Theo didn't have the time to explain. He said, "I have a plan. I need you to hit the tail for me."

Alea didn't understand his reasoning, but when she was about to reject, Theo leaped forward.

Although there were some mysteries, especially why Theo shielded her earlier, she decided to follow Theo's order and ran to the tail.

Knowing Alea was stronger than Theo, the head moved to the tail instead of facing him.

Alea used her Melting Sword and struck the tail immediately.

The snake surprisingly flipped over to avoid serious damage and scattered the white liquid all over the ground.

With the snake facing Alea, Theo covered his spear in golden light once again, completing the move he couldn't earlier.

"Swift Energy."

He struck the snake three times on its head and at the exact same spot, piercing through the snake's skin.

"…" Theo narrowed his eyes and felt good, knowing that the snake gave him seven levels at once. He remembered when he killed an Elite Rank monster when he was a mere Level 7 and leveled him up more than ten times, it was insane. He never thought he would be able to experience it again.

Still, if this snake were his first kill, he might end up reaching Elite Rank in an instant.

Although the EXP he received from the monster increased as his level increased, the requirement for each level also increased, so he felt nothing about this insane amount of EXP points.

"Theo?!" Alea furrowed her eyebrows while Theo pointed at the ground.

"Before talking about other things, how about thanking me for saving you first?" Theo shrugged and looked at the other party, who almost killed the other monster. He didn't want to have a lengthy lecture from Alea after an anti-climatic ending.

He never thought that they managed to kill two Hero Rank monsters at the same time. But considering their current firepower, it should be enough to overpower two of them unless they had other monsters near them, making the battle overly complicated.

"Huh?" Alea tilted her head in confusion, wondering what he meant by saving her.

Theo pointed his finger to the ground as she saw the melting dirt and the normal one.

"…" She was dumbfounded and seemed to have noticed what was going on. After a while, she drew a gasp and stared at him in disbelief. Even so, her mouth still said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Theo nodded. "It seems the green liquid can melt Magic Power while the white liquid only affects the physical body. Your Shield…"

"Yes. It's related to my sword. The strength of my shield depends on my sword's materials." Alea explained while feeling guilty. She knew that if she took on that white liquid, she might be injured, if not heavily injured.

"As expected. Anyway, I can confidently say that the snake is easier to kill than the mammoth, but it's certainly more dangerous because you almost died." Theo glanced at her, explaining the difference between both monsters.

"Yeah." Alea agreed and noticed that the other teams had finished as well with Ellen delivering the killing blow.

Theo placed his hand on the snake's skin and turned the snake into one Skill Card and two Material Cards. Ellen did the same thing before regrouping with Theo and Alea.

"I think we can agree that we're capable enough to kill a Hero Rank monster as long as we're careful…" Theo stated with a serious expression.

The others nodded while Phyrill raised his hand. "My right hand is still numb. I need to rest."

"Yeah. We should rest first and continue later." Theo smiled and tossed the loots into his bag.
