God of Tricksters

Chapter 776 - Skeletons

[There is an Order underground. I don't know which one, but it's either of these three. Death, Curse, Soul. Be careful.]

'Hmm?' Theo's interest rose to the peak and asked inwardly, 'An Order? Is it something similar to the crown from the mummy back then?'

[Yes. This place has been infused by its power. Considering there's undead here, it'll be either of those three Orders. Unfortunately, the source is quite far, so it's impossible for me to recognize it.]

'I see. Resurrect the deceased, the curse of immortality, and call the souls that should have perished. Those three mean the Order of Death, Curse, and Soul, right?'

[It's more complicated, but I guess you're ten percent correct.]

'How does the Order work? In fact, what is the Order?'

[I'll answer the first question when you reach the Supreme Rank. As for the second question, it'll be on hold.]

'Well…' Theo took a deep breath and realized he might need to do something special in this place. And it might also answer Maya's doubt about him having the blessing from the Goddess of Death.

Theo's slight change of expression as Agata asked with a concerned face. "What's wrong, Theo?"

"Nothing." Theo smiled and waved his hand, trying to assure her that nothing had happened.

On the other hand, Maya furrowed her eyebrows as her doubt became even stronger. She suspected that Theo had found something about this ruin because it was similar to his power.

Since Theo had finished his talk with Hel, he finally took his time to look at his surroundings.

Because the place didn't have any lighting, they needed to use a night vision to go around this place. But considering they were already powerful experts, even if they were broke, they still should have enough to buy night vision.

Hence, the government didn't bother to set up a light in this place, making it look as natural as possible.

The inside looked like a path, fifteen feet wide and twenty feet high. The black-colored brick was used for the interior, making it look darker than it should be.

When he looked at this, Theo asked, "By the way, you said there are traps, right?"

"Yes." Maya nodded.

Theo thought for a moment and summoned his clone. He asked the clone to walk fifteen feet in front of them, so if there was a trap, the clone would simply disappear.

"I was about to suggest that." Maya smirked.

"Well, let's go. We can't waste any more time." Theo nodded.

Suddenly, a black-colored hole appeared not far from them. From there, a few skeletal hands came out.

"What's that?" Theo frowned while summoning his Magic Bullets.

"That's the undead summoning," Maya warned them, summoned a shotgun, and aimed at them.

"I want to ask you first, so this doesn't happen again… Should we attack them before they come out? Will it do something bad if we disturb the summoning?" Theo asked.

"No. We can disrupt them, but I guess this is already too late." Maya's expression became serious as seven skeletons came out.

Three skeletons were holding a big blue shield and a longsword. Two skeletons had a bow on their hands with a quiver filled with arrows. As for the last two skeletons, they were wearing dark robes.

Name: Skeletal Warrior

Level: 490 -495

Beware of its speed and sword arts.

Name: Skeletal Archer

Level: 470-480

Beware of its agility and accuracy.

Name: Skeletal Mage

Level: 480-485

Beware of its spells.

Because of the situation, Clone Theo hurriedly ran forward while shooting the Magic Bullets.

One of the skeletal warriors slammed his shield to the ground, and a black-colored screen appeared, absorbing the Magic Bullets.

After that, the other two skeletal knights moved out of the screen while swinging their blades toward Theo.

Theo frowned and waved his spear, trying to strike both swords. To his surprise, the Skeletal Warriors took a step on the ground and increased their speed for a split second.

"What?!" Theo widened his eyes and got blown away due to his shock.

After that, he tossed the spear back to the original as an arrow pierced his head.

"They're using something weird."

"According to the information, they are adepts in martial arts and formations." Maya replied. "So, they're close to Rare Class Monsters."

"You should have told me that first." Theo summoned his clone again and grabbed the spear.

This time, he and his clone advanced together.

Agata spread her pink smoke and formed spikes from all over the place. Some were even coming from the ceiling.

The warriors tried to use their shield to block this again, but the Skeletal Mage seemed to have a different plan.

Both of them raised their hands and shot a small black flame toward the smoke. The moment they touched it, the small black flame flared up and burned the smoke at a rapid rate.

After that, the archers released another shot at Theo's head.

Bang.

Bang.

Both arrows were shot by Maya as she had changed to pistols and charged forward, trying to help Theo.

The Skeletal Warriors also moved forward, waving their swords against Theo.

Suddenly, the real Theo disappeared, leaving his clone alone to deal with these Skeletal Warriors. He struck their swords in succession, stopping them.

On the other hand, Theo had reappeared behind the Skeletal Mages, planning to sneak attack them. But it seemed his luck wasn't that good because when he landed on the ground and prepared to hit the Skeletal Mages from their backs.

The tile on the floor moved a few inches downwards.

"Oh, crap!" In that instant, Theo realized he had stepped on a trap and immediately looked around, trying to find what it was.

Several tiles from the floor, ceiling, and walls were opened and released a few waves of arrows.

Theo's Telekinesis immediately worked on its magic, deflecting the arrows.

"They're just normal arrows…" Theo frowned, realizing that the arrows looked so worn out to the points he found several damaged arrow tips.

But these arrows were just a distraction. Due to that trap, the Skeletal Mages had the chance to react.

Theo raised his vision and saw a huge black flame falling on top of him.

"Oh, sh*t."
