God of Tricksters

Chapter 273 - First Meeting In Battle

When he returned to the room, a staff member came to the room to inform them of everything regarding the game they would play.

"Excuse me." The staff opened the door while carrying a silver pole in his right hand. "I will explain the next game."

Theo and the others nodded and asked him to continue.

"The game is a castle defense. The name aside, this is a game that requires three people."

"…" Theo suddenly understood before he said everything. He thought, 'I see. One of us is required to hold the flag, huh.'

While they were listening to the staff's explanation, Sheira began her commentary.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. After one day's break from the last round, we are back with another new fight that is far more exciting than what we have seen so far. This is a battle between relatives. We have no information on why they fight for separate countries, but this is worthy of being called a fated battle.

"This is the first time I have seen relatives fighting each other in this competition. On one hand, Theodore Griffith has shown us his fighting coordination which can't be described by any word other than perfect. On the other hand, Nella Griffith has powerful Control that may give no chance for her relative to deal with her even with his clone.

"Will Thersland create another uproar by toppling the United Kingdom? Or will the United Kingdom prevail over its opponent? We shall bear witness to this great match.

"For now, let me announce the game for today's competition. Each team will send three participants where one of them is required to hold a flag signifying their country. Their objective is to steal the opponent's flag. As long as they take over the flag for one second, it's counted as their winning. That's all." Sheira smiled and shouted. "This may become a great advantage for Theodore Griffith because he has his clone to help him. In any case, without further ado, let's call the participants of the first round!"

"Uoh!" The cheers erupted as they all saw six people emerging from the gate.

"Here they are! From the United Kingdom Team, Nella Griffith, Zara Kennedy, and Luka Fletcher have taken the field! Meanwhile, from the opposite team… Surprisingly, they are Theodore Griffith, Sihan Raskaka, and Ellen Marcines. This is truly a fated battle between relatives. I can't wait anymore!"

Contrary to her excitement, Nella's expression darkened as she couldn't understand why Theo actually came out first. To fight Theo, they realized no matter how hard they thought, they wouldn't be able to defeat him with strategy.

Hence, Nella proposed to overwhelm Theo with power. Because of Clark's injury, he agreed to be on the second team as the first team should be the one getting the first win.

However, Theo truly just beat them with another trick of his. No one would expect Theo to come out on the first round since he should have known that it was impossible to win against them, especially with his teammates.

Zara and Luka couldn't help but frown, knowing Theo must have prepared something for them.

When the two teams arrived before each other, Nella's eyes turned bloodshot as she couldn't help but make a big smile, purely filled with excitement. "Cousin. What are you planning?"

Theo chuckled as the other two remained silent.

"What's funny?" Nella's expression turned grave as if she wanted to tear Theo up. There was no happiness in her eyes anymore like how she always presented herself. Her tone was cold and her gaze was sharp. "I am telling you now… Since I need to win against you for that bet, I will become as ruthless as I need to be."

"It's truly funny." Theo let out a hollow laugh, making Nella mad. He looked down on her and said with a smug. "You can't even understand what I am trying to say? I only want to say that I'm going to beat your ass here. We three are enough."

Nella clenched her teeth and stomped the ground with the pole. "Since that is the case, I won't hold back anymore."

"…" Diego also wondered what was wrong with this family. As a Mythical Rank expert who also had some big influences globally, he also knew about the Griffith Family. That was why he could only shake his head when seeing these two mad people. In the end, he raised his hand and said, "Match Starts!"

Theo and the others quickly leaped back to gain their distance. He was holding two spears in his hands and carrying the silver pole on his back, so it was obvious he was the target this time. The same applied to Nella, but Theo had one advantage over Nella.

"Clone." Theo summoned his clone and handed the spear to him.

"Oh!" Sheira recognized Theo's clone and commented, "There it is! Theodore's Clone. With his clone, this fight has become a 4 vs 3 fight! Now, what will the United Kingdom Team do in order to destroy this advantage?"

Hearing her words, Nella smirked and looked at Theo, saying coldly. "I already said I won't hold back anymore."

Nella dropped a copper coin the size of a palm, summoned her "Underworld Dog", and cut her palm, pouring the blood to the ground.

Suddenly, a black ball appeared above them before three tentacles expanded from its body, grabbing the two items and touching the blood.

"I call thee, Empusa."

"Oh, this is the legendary Empusa! It turns out Nella is using her own summoned being to fight against Theodore's clone!"

However, before she finished, Nella quickly placed her hand on the ground as ten skeletons emerged from the ground. They might not have a weapon or a shield on their hands, but their number should become an annoyance for Theo.

"Wh-what?! Nella doesn't pull her punch. She has overturned the situation before they even clash!"

"Hmph. Cousin, if you take back your words, I will retract my skeleton soldiers." Nella grinned while releasing her killing intent to pressure Theo to make his decision.

The answer came in the form of action as Theo and his clone summoned all eighty Magic Bullets.

He released all of them simultaneously while saying, "Take back my words? Someone who is about to lose wants me to do it? Keep sleep talking when you are asleep, little girl."

"Then so be it!" Nella's switch flipped off when he called her little girl.
