God of Tricksters

Chapter 568 - Candidates

"Overwhelming! Theo has shown all his power." Sheira slammed the table in excitement. "This is Theo's power! Everyone, did you see it?"

Sheira realized Theo was just playing with them.

"A guy who thinks he'll win is totally open to attack." Leonardo's voice soon echoed to her ears.

Sheira stopped for a moment and turned to him, understanding his words. "So, you're saying Theo created that opportunity? Still, he acted so well that I didn't even notice him pretending. When did he even replace his own body with his clone?"

"I don't know." Leonardo shrugged. "I am not on the battlefield, and there is a limit to what a drone can do. So yeah, he managed to make us think he got betrayed."

"Is this what you mean by his anger? I don't think those brutal moves were necessary… I mean, why did he kick both of them so that they would collide at that speed?"

"As I said, they should do their homework. Unfortunately, I couldn't share this private problem with others… I don't mind you searching for his information, but please respect him by not sharing the information with the public. Of course, anything excessive will become a challenge to my War God Family." Leonardo chuckled, recalling Theo's problem with his family. Everything turned out to be a lie or a scheme, and that pissed Theo off.

"I see." Sheira nodded awkwardly. She hurriedly changed the topic. "Anyway, Theo has beaten three guys, resulting in him getting three hundred tokens. In other words, he now has four hundred tokens. With nine people remaining, four people need to win against their competitors except for Theo.

"The moment they're done, the number will go down to five immediately. In this situation, will the third round be over?" Sheira turned to Leonardo.

"Yeah. The third round will end at that time." Leonardo nodded. "With this, Theo has four hundred tokens while the rest can get only two hundred tokens. There is also a possibility of surprises, but I think the other four will conserve their strength by defeating only one opponent in this round.

"As I said, this competition's purpose is not to rank them, but to assess their ability, judgment, and strategy. The longer they are competing, the better their assessment will be. Even if you are a coward and hide from everyone until the very end, it's also good.

"After all, hiding is also a weapon. I mean, there are jobs like Scout, Healer, and Illusionist. Well, Theo is built differently so let's not count him as an Illusionist." Leonardo sighed. "Anyway, you get the idea."

"I see." Sheira nodded in understanding. "In that case, who can stay the longest?"

"Hmm." Leonardo looked down and said, "I don't mean to look down on my people, but there are five exceptional people in this batch. The first will be Theo. I think I don't need to explain my reasoning anymore, right?"

"Yes. Theo has become the biggest dark horse for us to watch this whole time." Sheira admitted she was more excited to watch Theo's performance than other members.

"Then, the second one will be Lorenzo. He is the current family head's son, so many people expect him to fight to the very end. I mean… in terms of fighting ability alone, only Mara can challenge him, albeit the latter is in the wheelchair."

Sheira thought for a moment and said, "I see. As expected, it will be Lorenzo. He is known as the most unique fighter in the current generation. He overcame all odds with his strength and left other things to his assistant. However, his assistant had lost in this competition, so can he defeat all other participants?"

"Indeed. That's something I would like to see." Leonardo chuckled. "As for the third one, Mara is obviously the one."

"If I am not wrong, she suffered an injury three years ago." Sheira furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes. The poison is not a normal one. It's hard to make the antidote, so for now, she is still suffering in the wheelchair." He sighed. "I can only applaud her willpower because she can withstand that pain for this long. I wish I could do something…"

Sheira fell silent, not knowing what to say. However, she soon shifted the topic. "How about the fourth person?"

"Because of Mara's situation, I can say very sure that he has a place in this competition right now. He is none other than Luka."

"Luka! Another strong name. He is also a powerful fighter. Normally, he will have Velio to be his shield, so his offensive ability can work a hundred percent because of the reliable Velio. He can't utilize all his power as well because Theo and Ignazio have defeated Velio. Don't tell me, the fifth person will be…" Sheira gasped, realizing the plan.

Leonardo only smiled at her as if telling her that they shared the same opinion.

"The fifth person will be Ignazio. After removing all potential threats for his sister, he regroups with her. With Mara's offensive skills and Ignazio's numbers, it's hard to defeat them." Sheira became excited about this competition.

While they were talking, the situation moved according to their words. Mara and Lorenzo got more tokens, followed by Ignazio and Luka.

There were only five people remaining, with four of them having the same amount of tokens. Unlike Theo's circumstances, they didn't fight after getting their tokens, preserving their strength.

Theo had expected this predicament as he was still sitting on the ground, away from the others.

When the number reached five, a notification appeared.

[The third round is over. The fourth round will start in three minutes. All players are to move to their position.]

Theo looked at the dot that was close to the center of the arena. In that instant, he had figured out the last round's objective.

He let out a long sigh and moved toward his destination as soon as possible. He needed to recover his stamina as much as possible because he had used fifty percent of his Magic Power from destroying the castle to defeating the trio.

The three minutes ended pretty soon as Theo looked at the objective with a poker face.

[Objective: Free for all. Destroy your opponents and pillage their tokens!]
