God of Tricksters

Chapter 161 - Chicken

Theo smiled as they killed the remaining cheetahs.

"Ellen will help Sihan and cross the river first. Alea and I will rescue Laust and Phyrill. We will use the same strategy as the previous one, which is to escape to the woods after destroying the ice bridge. For now, we will focus on Sihan's condition and not fight them." Theo gave them the command.

Ellen nodded and walked to Sihan's side while Alea waited for him to enter the forest.

Before they entered, Theo summoned his Magic Bullet and released them to the sky that served as the signal for them to return. To avoid any further involvement, Theo quickly used his Force Control and made them curved to each other, so they created a huge explosion after impact.

Boom.

An explosion occurred, and Theo wondered whether they should enter the forest to search for Phyrill and Laust or wait here.

"Alright. Let's enter the forest but not too far." Theo nodded and walked to the forest with a cool expression, believing Laust and Phyrill had noticed his signal.

Alea also raised her sword while looking around to see any potential people coming.

Surprisingly, when they entered, Phyrill immediately came to Alea's view and shouted, "Oi! I'm here."

Behind him were thirty monsters he brought while moving around the forest.

Before Theo and Alea helped him, Laust also managed to return with twenty monsters.

"Theo! Do you want to kill these guys or just run away from them?" Phyrill shouted, stunning them.

Theo didn't know why he asked that question but still answered hurriedly, "Sihan can't fight. We will run away."

"Then, do you know about chicken?"

"Huh? I don't have time to play a joke with you." Theo shouted in displeasure, feeling Phyrill just insulted him by saying he was a coward. He just never thought Phyrill would make a joke about this situation.

Phyrill soon corrected his words, showing that Theo wasn't the only one who could come up with a good plan. "No! I mean, the game, Chicken!"

Theo opened his mouth in surprise as he understood what he wanted instantly. Theo quickly turned to Laust and saw the latter nodding his head.

Theo then calculated their distance and such before shouting, "Come at me."

Theo moved several feet away from them while asking Alea to leave the forest as they would take care of these monsters.

Alea didn't know what he was planning, but seeing his serious face was enough to scare her away. She quickly left the forest, not wanting to object to Theo's plan anymore and repeating the same mistake she made a few days ago.

As soon as he reached his position, he summoned his clone, smirked and said, "I'm ready. Come."

Laust and Phyrill continued on their way and yet to turn to Theo. It wasn't the time yet.

Only when they were about to pass him, they made a ninety-degree turn, surprising the monsters behind them.

The monsters also showed some degree of maneuver that allowed them to follow Phyrill and Laust's sudden turn and make their way toward Theo.

Theo looked at them coming at the same speed and the same distance and smiled. What he meant by Chicken was none other than the Chicken Game.

It is a game in which two players drive cards at each other. The first to swerve away and slow down loses and is humiliated as the "chicken". If neither player swerves, the result is a potentially fatal head-on collision.

However, Phyrill and Laust were bringing the luggage that all three of them believed wouldn't even flinch against collision.

Both of them had no intention of backing down, especially with Theo acting as a buffer.

The moment they almost reached each other and hit Theo in the process, the two Theos grabbed their shoulders at the same time and used his Blink to teleport them ten feet away.

Due to his back facing each other, Theo and his clone killed the momentum Phyrill and Laust had before jumping to the side to avoid the collision. After all, Theo's blink range was only ten feet away from their location.

Phyrill and Laust also understood because a skill that could teleport them to a certain area was too restrictive and short in range, so they didn't have any complaint in Theo's procedure as long as they could get away.

At the same time, they noticed Theo's Blink seemed to not be able to carry more than one person at a time.

Without Laust and Phyrill in front of them, the monsters ultimately created a chain of fatal head-on collisions.

Phyrill and Laust struggled to get up while Theo helped them as they all ran to the exit. "Hurry up, we don't have much time before they get up on their feet again."

The two agreed and followed Theo, but it turned out the latter still tried to take advantage of this situation.

He and his clone released the Magic Bullet and hit the fallen and injured monsters. He didn't bother to save his Magic Power and ultimately released three waves of Magic Bullets before they exited the forest.

Theo could see that he leveled up once after killing ten monsters with sixty Magic Bullets he had upgraded to D Rank.

After leaving the forest, they found Alea, Ellen and Sihan waiting for them on the other side of the river.

Because of the situation, Ellen had stripped his armor and asked Laust to carry him on her back while Phyrill and Alea brought his armor.

After Theo destroyed the ice bridge with his Magic Bullet, the group entered the forest again to recover from the fight. Meanwhile, Theo couldn't help but smirk when he saw his status while putting the status he received earlier to Magic Power, bringing it at the same number as his Strength.

However, due to him looking at his status, one thing escaped his vision. It was the message from the God of Mischief.
