God of Tricksters

A while ago.

Felix had been overwhelmed by the enemies. His enemies consisted of four King Class Monsters like Rea. In terms of fighting ability, he was better than Rea. But to defeat four King Class Monsters, Rea's brain was better since the battlefield didn't consist only of them.

Felix looked at the four King Class Monsters in front of him. The fight had just started not long ago, but his body was already covered in wounds.

As an assassin, he usually waited until the right moment before assassinating the target. But in this situation, he couldn't do it. They had been outnumbered already. If he didn't show himself, the enemies would have overwhelmed them before he could do anything.

Whenever he fought straightforwardly, he would be at a disadvantage, considering his abilities and experiences mostly came from assassination.

'Hu…' Felix took a deep breath. 'As expected, it's hard for me to fight someone head-on, let alone four King Class Monsters. When I helped Ava, the four monsters had been severely injured. But this time, all the monsters were in their best state.

Although he got two monsters of the same kind due to them being created from a fragment of a World Class Monster, it didn't change the fact that they were still considered a King Class Monster.

Felix wanted to find a way to defeat the enemies since he wanted to accomplish Theo's tasks. He couldn't let people look down on Theo because he failed to do his task as his right hand man.

He still remembered what Theo had said to him back then. In fact, he was the first one to be called to receive Theo's message.

At that time, Theo only said, "I have told you everything, Felix. So, I will only tell you to show the world that you are my second-in-command."

"Huh?" Felix was confused at first. But he soon realized that Theo was referring to the discussion they had in the previous battle. Theo had told him to evolve. Since it was everything, there was nothing more to talk about.

Felix couldn't grasp the meaning the whole time. He even lost his confidence, considering he had failed to 'evolve' in the previous war.

So, this trust that Theo had entrusted felt so heavy. He wondered if he could even do it this time.

When his confidence couldn't go any lower, the battlefield changed in a very weird way.

He felt the surge of Magic Power in the area, alarming even the monsters.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "!!!" Felix looked at the four monsters first before taking a peek at what had happened. He saw the lightning beam that pierced through the heart of the battlefield and flew straight to the opposite side.

He recognized the attack since there was only one person who had a lightning element in the area. At the same time, he didn't understand the reason for Ava to do such a thing. No, it was more like Ava should be as smart as him, so they shouldn't see any point in attacking the opposite side, unless… there was someone asking them to do it.

"!!!" In that instant, Felix realized that Leonardo was the one asking Ava to do it. It was hard to see him from here, but he could see the slight change on the battlefield. They were supposed to make a v-shaped formation, yet, there was a hole in their formation. It was clear that Leonardo had moved away from his position.

But he didn't know why he left such a big hole for the enemies to go through.

'Why?' This question kept echoing in his mind. The four King Class Monsters around him obviously wouldn't allow him to do anything. They immediately attacked him again.

"Tsk." Felix clicked his tongue and struck them, albeit the four King Class Monsters were far too strong for him. In the end, there were two more grazes on his body.

Felix gritted his teeth. On the one hand, he wanted to be reckless again and kill all these King Class Monsters even if he had to die in the process. That recklessness worked once after all.

On the other hand, if he died, the situation wouldn't be good. In fact, Theo's words plagued him. He told him to show the world that he was Theo's right hand man. So, if he died, he would just bring him shame.

That was why he was in a dilemma. He wanted to defeat them but he couldn't be reckless. And that was completely impossible.

Felix kept being attacked from all directions, but weirdly, his mind became cooler and cooler. It might be due to the fact that he couldn't be reckless this time that his instinct was telling him to start thinking.

What Felix didn't know was that Theo had been working on fixing his habit this whole time. In the past, Felix was truly an assassin.

But what Theo wanted from him was something else. He didn't need an assassin.

That was why Theo had given Felix a lot of opportunities. At first, he explained the formation and array that the Beggar Association used to observe them. And not long ago, he was given the role of a commander instead of Agata or Rea, who seemed to be more suitable than him.

And everything started to take shape in Felix now that Theo put him in a situation where he had to utilize that new concept far different from the assassin path.

Felix didn't know it yet, but his mind had grown accustomed to thinking about it. In the previous battle, all he could think was to be reckless. But in the situation where he couldn't be reckless, Felix was forced to solve it as safely as possible.

Because he wasn't aware of everything, he also didn't know that his expression had become more and more serious.

Every time he blocked his attack, his mind started calculating any possible move he could take to turn around the situation.

Yes, without him realizing it, Felix had begun to 'evolve.'
