God of Tricksters

Chapter 2016 Executing The Plan

It didn't take too long before Leonardo could see a few paths. It was a path of sacrifice, but there was a way to turn around the situation while waiting for the Time God.

"I guess this is it…" Leonardo took a deep breath. He glanced to the sides. Since he was the brain of the yellow line, he was stationed near the center so that he could take advantage of his location to move the people.

'I have Ava near me. That's great since Ava can be considered the strongest among us right now. But this plan has to stretch to…' Leonardo thought while looking to the right. He wasn't looking at the battlefield next to him. He was staring at the battlefield beyond it.

There was one more person that had the chance to understand his plan and cooperate with him. However, Leonardo didn't know whether the person was smart enough to realize it or not, considering he didn't know how much Theo had taught her.

Yes, the person Leonardo chose to help him in his plan was none other than Theo's disciple, Rea. If there was someone smart enough and had the ability to see through his plan, it would be her.

'Well, well… Little girl, can you keep up with this old man's plan?' Leonardo smirked.

Now that he had a plan in mind, Leonardo immediately started it so that they could keep the monsters busy for thirty minutes.

A bishop seemed to have gotten Leonardo's intention and immediately leaped away, leaving the rest of the chess pieces away.

"!!!" The monsters were confused because sending his bishop away like this would only put him at a disadvantage. The King Class Monster was at least smart enough to recognize it even though they didn't have the same consciousness as they had before.

Two King Class Monsters ended up jumping toward the bishop, planning to take it down. If they could at least break this bishop, they would gain a huge advantage in the battle.

However, Leonardo had expected their action and immediately sent four pawns to stop them.

Both King Class Monsters believed that two pawns weren't enough to stop them. They simply released their abilities and struck the pawns before continuing.

But to their surprise, two pawns suddenly turned their swords into shields and blocked the enemies' strikes.

"!!!" The two King Class Monsters were surprised, but they had to jump back out of instinct. The next thing they saw was the other two pawns that moved far quicker than they were supposed to.

These four pawns actually managed to stop two King Class Monsters, it was simply too shocking.

Leonardo was the only person who could smile.

'Promotion, Rook, Knight.'

His ability was related to chess, so he also could convert his pawns to other pieces with his ability. That was why the pawns could get a surge of strength to repel the two King Class Monsters.

But as expected, such a powerful move didn't come without a price. Leonardo was clutching his chest as if he was enduring excruciating pain.

Still, the smile on his face didn't fade. After all, he managed to accomplish his objective. The bishop managed to slip past the enemy and head straight to Ava.

…

Meanwhile, Ava was clicking her tongue while wiping the blood on the corner of her lips. Because of her abilities, Ava took on six King Class Monsters at once. Even during the previous battle, he could barely handle four of them. Yet, she was forced to handle six of them during this battle.

The previous war focused on assessing the capability of Theo's people and found out about Theo's trump card. They couldn't find the second one, but they certainly had accessed the ability of the people around Theo.

If the slime only sent five of them to kill Ava, the latter might still have the chance to turn around the situation. That was why he sent one more monster.

Even with such an overwhelming number, the monsters didn't have a good time fighting her. They might be able to injure her, but their condition was also rapidly deteriorating.

Ava's lightning was different from the Lightning Saint's. The latter had overwhelming and powerful lightning. While Ava inherited a portion of it as his successor, she was a Moon Rabbit. Her ability was related to moonlight.

They fought during the day, but it didn't change the core power of the moon. It was the light itself.

Ava infused her lightning into the light, allowing her to weaken the enemy gradually. She even managed to injure two King Class Monsters with her own strength.

However, Ava also got a few grazes on her body and a bit of internal injury. It might look like she could hold on for a while, but the longer they fought, the weaker Ava would become. That was why she had to find a way to reduce their number.

When a few King Class Monsters were about to hit her, a powerful Magic Power suddenly swept the entire area, isolating the space around Ava.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters didn't understand what was happening, but they soon saw the bishop entering the isolated space. It seemed that something was trying to help Ava.

They immediately gathered their Magic Power to destroy the isolated space.

On the other hand, Ava was completely stunned when she saw the bishop. "Huh, you…"

Before she continued, the bishop formed a few words with Magic Power, giving a message to Ava. "Send your most powerful lightning to Shadow King's position."

Ava wanted to say something, but she felt the surge of Magic Power coming from the King Class Monsters. She knew that Leonardo wouldn't send a message without any reason. Although she didn't admit it, Leonardo was the most capable man on the yellow line.

Ava immediately turned around. Her seven lightning balls immediately shone with lightning sparking all around them. Ava aimed it at the Shadow King that was a bit far away from them.

"Moon Lightning… Cannon."
