God of Tricksters

Chapter 258 - Eyes

Although the person in question didn't feel anything, his body actually sent out a shock wave filled with Magic Power to the entire stadium.

"!!!" Everyone halted for a second and turned to Laust, seeing his current condition.

"This… This… This is the calling for a Blessing! Did Laust just receive a blessing?" Sheira drew a gasp as she never saw someone accepting a blessing in this competition. "This is a unique phenomenon for those who receive a Blessing! I wonder what's the blessing! However, he is also in big trouble!"

Enrica clutched her head for a bit as if she experienced tremendous pain before shouting, "Defeat him right now!"

Lavinia's body shook as she quickly recovered from her shock.

Fortunately, Clone Theo had appeared next to her in that instant using his Blink while saying, "I am afraid you need to wait for a bit."

"Dog—" Lavinia planned to pass him, but Theo had already summoned his Elemental Shields on Lavinia's side.

Having no choice other than to go forward or backward, Lavinia was stuck in Theo's trap.

Theo didn't waste a single second and thrust his spear. "Cannon Blast."

Lavinia clicked her tongue and leaped back before throwing herself to the side, avoiding Theo's attack.

At the same time, Enrica looked at Theo and said, "I need to defeat you."

"Do you think you can?" Theo smiled and charged forward with his spear. He thrust his spear to her abdomen, but the latter somehow caught the spear's handle and grabbed Theo's wrist with her other hand.

"Huh?!" Theo widened his eyes before his vision flipped. "What just happened…"

In an instant, he recalled that Enrica somehow knew his movement and threw him to the air.

"Magic Bullets." Theo released another wave of Magic Bullet to stop her from her tracks, but Enrica simply took a glance over his Magic Bullets and returned her focus to Laust, planning to strike him. After all, this was the best chance they ever had to defeat Laust, turning the situation around.

When the Magic Bullets poured down like rain, Enrica moved her body in a strange pattern as she avoided every single bullet without even looking.

"What?!" Theo widened his eyes and realized what was going on. He used his Blink to stop Enrica on her track. "You are not going anywhere."

"You're annoying." Enrica raised her hands to the side.

However, Theo had already gone straight to her to stop her hand. Yet, the latter simply released a yellow-colored light from her hand.

"…" Theo's expression turned serious as he used two Elemental Shields and launched himself to the side to block her attack. He knew she planned to attack Laust, so he managed to receive it completely.

"Kh." Enrica clenched her teeth as she looked at Theo before widening her eyes. "You…"

"Your eyes are indeed interesting. Although I am not sure, your eyes seem to be able to predict a certain movement. I don't know how it works, but you surely need to look at your opponents first to see that. The effect is not limited to humans …" Theo smiled.

"You have been testing me this whole time?" Enrica noticed that Theo had been doing various movements instead of one attack pattern to defeat her. It turned out those movements were his effort to figure out her eyes. She soon realized that she hadn't used her eyes like usual in this battle.

'Is he really human?' Enrica began to sweat as she thought, 'My eyes are called Eyes of Destiny. It can see every single thing's destiny in the near future. That's why I know every single movement and where all those bullets will fall… People often thought of this as eyes that could see the future. But he is telling me he has figured it out… And this soon?'

Enrica had many doubts, wondering what was inside Theo's brain for him to be able to achieve something like this.

However, Theo only told her, "Sorry, but I have been working with someone who also has special eyes, you see. I know a bit of the trick. Besides, you have the same fight pattern as when you put that blindfold on. Your powerful Awareness has become my biggest clue to understanding your eyes."

Enrica's eyebrows twitched as she mumbled inside, 'He is now using my own power to understand me? Is he not satisfied with Ignazio? Is this what it means to come from the Griffith Family?'

Little did she know, Alea was also a huge part of this due to the similarity between their eyes.

Suddenly, another wave of Magic Power shook the arena as Laust finally opened his eyes. He felt tremendous strength in his body and couldn't help but shout to release it. "Haaaa!"

The roar was loud, making one's heart skip a beat.

"Not good." Enrica gritted her teeth as her thought process was interrupted by Theo's discovery. "Lavi—"

She stopped after taking another look at Lavinia, realizing she wasn't destined to be hit. In other words, Lavinia should be able to take care of Clone Theo and Laust at the same time for a period of time. During that time, she planned to reorganize her thoughts.

Yet, everything soon changed when Laust stopped his roar and grabbed his sword, charging ahead.

"!!!" Theo saw Laust coming to him but felt something different from Laust. His expression reminded him of Laust's unwillingness to be defeated in the group battle back in Thersland.

Although he wasn't one hundred percent sure, Clone Theo went around Lavinia with his back facing Enrica. At the same time, Theo positioned himself right before Enrica's eyes, making her unable to see what happened in the gap between Lavinia and Marco.

"Huh?" Enrica narrowed her eyes and took another peek at Lavinia. She should be fine. Laust might approach her while she fought against Theo's clone, but her eyes told her that she wouldn't get any strike from Laust. She felt a bit relieved, but everything changed the moment Laust was about to arrive in front of Lavinia.

Laust suddenly disappeared from Enrica's vision and Theo came closer to her so as to block her view with her body.

She heard another whisper from Theo that messed her mind.

"Ah, right. Since we are talking about eyes, it's useless if you can't see anyone." Theo made an evil smile as he raised his hand, summoning the Magic Bullets. He released all of them to the ground to kick up the dust on the arena, turning them into a smokescreen.

"Boom."
