God of Tricksters

Chapter 403 - Daemon Group

"Dark robe and animal mask…" The healer widened his eyes, realizing such an outfit. "You… You are from Daemon Group."

"Correct. The reward for you is…" He waved his hand to the right as the strings tightened. However, the strings turned out to be attached to his whole body instead of his arms.

And those strings sliced the healer's body into pieces, soaking the ground with blood.

"I'm sorry that I pushed you too much." He smiled and bent down his knees in front of Sihan. "As promised, I am here to fulfill everything you wish for."

Sihan smiled and said, "When I trained under you, I always adored you. To give up your life for your own brother, I always felt envious of Theo. Still, for me, you are the coolest person and the only person I will look up to. I wish you were my brother… I wish… to be with you… I wish… to join your group."

Edward Griffith smiled and took off his mask. He then put his mask on Sihan and covered his body with a long dark robe.

Sihan couldn't help but smile as the person he adored so much really fulfilled his wish in an instant.

Edward carried Sihan on his back while walking in a certain direction, saying, "I may not be able to fulfill your first wish to be my brother… However, if you don't mind, we can be sworn brothers."

Sihan only tightened the hands around Edward's neck, showing his excitement. Suddenly, Sihan asked, "How about Theo?"

"He…" Edward smiled and took out another mask from his robe. Unlike the goat mask he had earlier, this clearly had a pair of horns like that of a dragon. The mask had two blazing tattoos around his eyes, becoming the symbol of might. The mask was known as… the Dragon Mask. "Those who are targeting my little brother only have one end. Death!"

…

Meanwhile, Theo and Agata were still chased by fourteen people with Xavier leading from the very front.

"Theo. What are we going to do?" Agata asked.

"We are going to buy a bit more time." Theo nodded and released his Magic Bullets, shooting them.

"Dodge them and strike those that come at you," Xavier ordered as they leaped to the side.

As expected, the Magic Bullets dispersed to chase their own targets.

But with his brother's order, ten people with their bodies fully covered with clothes and masks appeared, taking this chance to eliminate them.

"Huh?" Theo widened his eyes as he saw ten people appearing and killing ten people from Xavier's group in an instant. There wasn't even a time to react as if they were prepared to do it in an instant. And Xavier didn't even realize due to them making no sound.

"This is not good." Theo gritted his teeth and took out his pocket watch while Xavier had yet to realize that his subordinates had been killed.

Theo got another surprise when those ten people moved in Sihan's direction instead of chasing him. They even slowed down to show Theo that they had no plan to harm him.

"What just happened?" Agata was as confused as Theo, but she knew that out of all fourteen of them, only four of them were alive.

They had Theo and his clone and she should be able to confuse the other two to buy some time. If those mysterious people didn't have the intention to harm them, it might be the right time to make a counterattack.

…

On the other hand, Edward was walking leisurely until he suddenly felt multiple presences. He stopped on his track and turned around, finding three people making their appearance.

The two middle-aged men dropped their jaws to the ground the moment he saw Edward and Sihan.

"You… You are the Daemon Group's leader, Dragon!" Major Sam quickly raised his hand, forming a circular wind around his arms.

"What? Dragon… That Dragon?" Alea soon realized. The rising assassin organization that terrorized Ark City, Daemon Group.

"The military and the Eilric Family, huh." Edward let out a long sigh. "If you take another step forward, I'm afraid blood will be spilled."

"What do—" The middle-aged man from the Eilric Family soon realized and turned to Alea, finding three strings on her neck, body, and legs. "Wait."

"I'm just telling you that no one goes past this point. We will clean everything up and won't harm anyone other than our targets."

"You think we are going to let you do all that?" Major Sam gritted his teeth, preparing to cut down the strings as soon as a chance appeared.

Unfortunately, that chance wouldn't appear because ten people with the same outfit but different masks made their appearance behind him.

"!!!" Major Sam widened his eyes.

"I know that you are strong, but wiping out the little group you have on the plain is an easy thing to do." Edward released a bit of his killing intent.

'Daemon Group will definitely kill their target, but…' Alea's face became pale as she shouted, interrupting him. "Your target… Is Theo your target?!"

"The little girl from the Eilric Family…" Edward looked at Alea and continued, "You have the courage, but you are still too naive. Before talking to me, you should take a lesson from your grandfather about how the way of the real world works. Other than your talent… Everything about you is trash to me. So, shut up. No one cares about your opinion here."

"…" The middle-aged man from the Eilric Family took a deep breath and asked, "Okay, what do you want to release our princess?"

"I only want your Eilric Family to return to the plain. Everything will be solved within five minutes," said Edward with a demanding tone.

"I understand." The Eilric Family nodded.

Edward raised his hand as if telling him to go back.

The middle-aged man hurriedly walked to Alea and carried her on his shoulder, leaving the scene.

"Major…" Edward turned to Sam with the same attitude.

Major Sam gritted his teeth. He wanted to protect Theo, but all his subordinates and the others might die from the Daemon Group's onslaught. The best chance he got was to regroup with his people and rearrange everything before marching to this place. That way, they would stand a chance against the Daemon Group.

He could only pray for Theo's well-being since the situation indeed pressured him to make such a decision.

With a heavy heart, Major Sam disappeared.
