God of Tricksters

Chapter 787 - Ambush

"So, I guess we're ready." Maya smirked while rising from the floor. Agata had become a Supreme Rank Expert, and they had enough rest to fully recover their stamina.

"Indeed." Theo nodded with a serious expression. But before he went to the entrance, he asked Agata, "How do you feel?"

"Hmm…" Agata didn't answer him immediately. She still looked around before nodding her head. "Yeah. I should be fine."

"Good."

After confirming Agata's condition, Theo finally stepped near the entrance, bent his knees, and placed his hand on the ground.

He took a deep breath while concentrating. Although he had practiced it a few times in another place, this was the first time he did it for real. And there was no guarantee that this place was the entrance, so he needed some time to prepare himself.

With the Magic Power concentrated in his throat, he began reciting the word one by one.

"Eilhis… Mertorie… Quala… Mala…"

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

The floor started to shake, indicating the movement underground. It was clear what was going to happen, so he immediately summoned his clone, preparing for everything.

Suddenly, the floor started shining, creating a small rectangle on the ground that somehow engulfed all of them.

'Sh*t, we're directly on top of the entrance.' Theo clicked his tongue before his body started to fall down.

"!!!" All of them widened their eyes as the floor suddenly disappeared.

They were falling into a deep hole without any light. Even though they had used their night vision, they still couldn't see the bottom.

In the end, Theo used his Telekinesis to make them stay afloat. After that, he put his finger in front of his lips, asking them to not release a single sound.

Agata, Maya, and Ava acknowledged his signal with a nod while preparing to fight the unknown.

After that, Theo gradually lowered them down carefully because they didn't know the extent of this place.

After a long three minutes, they finally reached the ground. Maya raised her fingers and made a sign.

It was clear that she was talking about the depth of the tunnel. It seemed they had fallen for 610 feet according to her device.

Because of how small this place was, Maya didn't dare to bring her armor, knowing that her firepower might create more trouble for themselves instead of helping them. So, Maya would only be the support this time around.

At the very least, they seemed to be able to escape as long as they followed this hole.

After reaching the ground, they looked around, trying to find anyone that was going to ambush them. But surprisingly, there was no movement.

Ava leaped to his shoulder and pointed in the only direction available since the rest was a dead end.

Theo summoned his clone and let him check first while they stayed behind for a sneak attack.

Clone Theo ran forward while checking the traps. He soon found a light at the end of this tunnel.

When he took a peek, he saw a hall with at least 100×100 feet in size and a tall 30 feet ceiling.

Inside, he saw various equipment from swords to bows. However, he couldn't help but frown, considering the equipment had been eroded by time.

Still, when he saw the center of the room, he saw a giant pot. The liquid inside the cauldron seemed to be releasing green light.

Behind this giant cauldron was an old lady, staring at her own creation. Her skin looked like an elderly human, including the color. Yet, her nose was 5 inches long, making it impossible for her to be a human.

Her body was covered with a long black robe, but Theo could still see her aged and rotten arms.

Though, what piqued his interest was a black box on top of her head. The black box had the size of a human head. It was floating and spinning a few inches above her head.

[That's my Armor. In Dex Mala. Say those three words after grabbing the box, and you'll become the new owner of the Death Armor.]

'Got it.' Theo replied with a serious expression. He wondered what kind of liquid she was making. At the same time, he didn't know whether he should be wary of it or not.

There were a few lanterns hung on the ceiling, allowing him to see the entire room. However, he needed to make sure there was no hidden room that would endanger the group too.

'Still, will I be fine touching something that possesses your power?' Theo asked.

[Yes, as long as you say those three words within five seconds. If not, the part that touches the armor will start rotting and eventually spread to your entire body. She can't use that power because she doesn't know these three words, so the armor still doesn't recognize anyone as its owner.]

'Then, how about the password for the entrance?'

[It's a spell to seal the armor. And it's literally written on the box if you take a closer look. That woman seems to be using it for her own advantage.]

'I see.' Theo's expression turned serious as he summoned Magic Bullets. 'For now, I need to destroy the pot first.'

But as soon as there was a fluctuation of Magic Power, the elderly woman stopped for a moment and raised her head. "Who's there?"

In an instant, she realized that the one hiding in the darkness was her enemy since the only one who would visit her was none other than the one who possessed the Shadow Order. And the latter wouldn't need to sneak around like this.

She immediately raised her hand and an old broom flew to her hand.

Since she had spotted him, Theo released all his Magic Bullets.

"!!!"

The Magic Bullets flew in a few directions, but all of them eventually moved toward her black pot. Hence, she raised her left hand and formed a huge black circle that blocked all the bullets.

After that, Clone Theo made his appearance and covered his hand with golden-colored energy.

He waved his hand downwards as if hacking the air.

Suddenly, the circle was cut in half, including her black pot. The green-colored liquid flowed out of the pot, filling the room.

"No!" The old woman gritted her teeth and glared at Clone Theo.
