God of Tricksters



A moment ago.

Theo smiled after absorbing some knowledge from the Magic Saint.

The Magic Saint couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. Even though he had the original Theo with him, he couldn't help but recognize the talent Theo had. It was completely at a whole different level compared to his original self.

"You are truly different from the original you… Even though you are fake, you are something that can be better than the original. To be honest, I want to make you my possession instead of him. I'm giving you another chance, Theodore Griffith.

"Join the Griffith Family and promise to rebuild it under my name. If you agree to such a thing, I don't mind helping you in this battle and taking down your original self." The Magic Saint smirked.

It was just a verbal promise… there should be no problem if he lied here and betrayed him later. After all, the Magic Saint had done worse things compared to this. If he lied here, he could gain victory and besiege him with all the people around here.

However, both the Magic Saint and Theo knew that there wouldn't be any lie in this place. The Magic Saint could clearly see the Magic Power and its fluctuation. If someone lied, he would be able to see the change in their Magic Power. So, Theo couldn't lie to him.

At the same time, Theo had sworn to never lie. If he lied, he would lose his power.

That was why Theo chuckled when he heard the deal. "Hahaha… I guess you have indeed gone crazy. Leave sleep talking when you are asleep."

"!!!" The Magic Saint furrowed his eyebrows. On the one hand, he expected this rejection. On the other hand, that was a sincere deal from him. After all, as someone who had been taking care of the Griffith Family for decades, he had seen all kinds of reactions.

Yet, to his surprise, Theo didn't have any fluctuation in his Magic Power. This could only happen when he brushed that matter like it never existed to begin with.

In other words, everything that came out of his mouth was far worse than trash. It seemed Theo only looked at the way he utilized his Magic Power as it was the only thing that was useful for him.

The Magic Saint never thought that there was a person like this… someone who could convey his feeling, maybe a 'lie,' or even his intention without a single shred of lies. It made him want Theo even more.

The Magic Saint was lamenting the fact that he didn't get Theo back when he was small. The Griffith Family had always asked their people to go back to the family if they wanted to succeed. But Theo's brother had special treatment.

Due to the prophecy, they used force to bind him to the family. As a result, he died in the process.

He didn't know anything that happened behind the scenes, including the God of Mischief's interference.

However, he thought there was nothing he could do since Owen had died. He thought there would be nothing that scared him anymore.

When Theo was born, he thought about bringing him back to the family again. Unlike last time, he took his time to observe Theo and his talent.

But he didn't show any brilliance to the point he started to lose interest in him.

It was at that time Ray and Valerie chose to go back with them, leaving the small Theo behind.

At first glance, it looked like a trap. But Theo kept getting bullied afterward, causing him to completely lose his interest. There was no way such a person would be able to host the ancestor of the Griffith Family. He thought that the prophecy ended after Owen's death.

In addition, Ray had shown his talent once again, indirectly telling him to look at him instead. Since the prophecy was over in his mind, he began to nurture Ray. It seemed that Ray only wanted to let Theo live without any interference from the outside world. And with his talent, the best he could do was live a normal life or die on the other side. So, he agreed with the condition that Ray had to be loyal to them.

However, it was the greatest mistake in his life. Ray never showed any mistakes as if he had become a man of steel. He completely followed the training and did all the tasks like that of a successor of the Griffith Family.

Meanwhile, Valerie looked like a broken wife who could only follow her husband to this wretched place.

Even though he had placed some spies around her, she truly didn't show any clues that she was lying.

Without them realizing it, Valerie had given all the tasks and targets to Ray. The latter started expanding his influence while making the new Griffith Family without anyone's knowledge.

With such a perfect cover, he ended up agreeing to their request to visit their child back in Thersland. Unfortunately for him, this simply gave them a chance to finally launch the plan they had painstakingly prepared in the last decade.

They caused trouble for the family by taking down a mercenary. After that, they failed to bring Theo and directed him to his grandfather, the War Saint. Then, they went missing, bringing all the important people who had shown their abilities in recent years.

In that instant, the Griffith Family's power decreased by at least a third.

And they did it for their son, whose talent surpassed anyone else in this world. Despite all the sacrifices, it was true that without them, there might not be a person who was known to be the greatest man alive, Theodore Griffith.

When he realized all this, the Magic Saint had a sour face. He wished he would realize their intention from the beginning.

But this was all for naught. After all, the current situation only had two possibilities.

With him and his grandson on the battlefield, the result was either 'you perish' or 'I perish.'

The Magic Saint took a deep breath and stated coldly, "In that case, I shall kill you and have your original self absorb you."

Theo snorted. "You are the one who will die here. And I don't lie."
