God of Tricksters

Chapter 358 – Loot

Chapter 358 - Loot

"Why do I somehow feel empty?"

This question was hard to answer, especially with his goals that would involve numerous people's lives. He looked down with a grim expression.

Despite having steeling his resolve, it was so much different when he needed to face it. And this was only a monster or a former human.

He thought he would be fine with it, considering he had killed a few people before and all of them were his enemies. Both wanted to kill him, but the lich simply followed its natural instinct as a monster.

It reminded him of a certain matter.

There might be a time where he needed to kill the innocent who he never met. At that time, could he do it? What if the person before him was a good guy that had helped thousands of people? Could he still kill him?

Many questions flashed in his mind, but more importantly, there was a slight change in his heart. Whether this change would be good or bad for Theo, he knew he still needed to step forward.

After sorting his thoughts, Theo's expression became calmer as he looked at the lich and placed his hand on the lich's head.

The silence suddenly broke when Theo saw the cards coming out of the lich.

Skill: Three Great Defense (C)

Effect: Gather the Magic Power in the surroundings to form three small tombstones that will act as an antenna to form a shield of concentrated Magic Power. The shield can be moved and expanded, but the user can't move as long as this skill is active.

Skill: Zombie Fire (C)

Effect: Produce a special fire that can turn normal humans into undead. It can only be used to create Champion Rank Monsters or below and the level depends on the target's former level.

Lich Jewel (C)

A small crystal that became the lich's source of power. It contained all the Dark Energy the lich had.

"Three C Rank cards?" Theo widened his eyes, never expecting to get such a bountiful reward. "Two C Rank cards from a Hero Rank monster is already too much and can be said you are very lucky when you encounter such an occurrence, but this zombie gives me three? Two skill and one material cards.

"Is this the effect of a lich who trained himself just to kill the fish?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the cards, finally examining each of them. "Hmm, I have a feeling that Lich Jewel can be sold at a high price, considering this can be transformed to be a perfect staff for a Magician with Dark Affinity.

"I mean, they really need this one as their staff's eye and I'm sure this crystal can boost their power and casting speed." Theo nodded and took a look at the skills. "First skill is Zombie Fire… Normally, Necromancer only calls the soul of the dead, but this one can turn a human into a zombie.

"And there is no warning that they need to be dead. In other words, they can be turned into a zombie by burning them alive… Such a devious skill, I am afraid this skill will shake the market. For now, I shouldn't sell it since it will be too dangerous if this skill comes to the hand of a psychopath. I can use it as a material to upgrade my skill anyway.

"Also, my goal is to create chaos or chaotic situation, not genocide. I can use genocide to create chaos, but chaos doesn't necessarily come from genocide." Theo shook his head. "Even God of Mischief never took a life when he pranked someone other than the last moment…

"Well, let's move on to the second skill. This Three Great Defense seems to be useful. I have seen its power and I think it's far more powerful than Elemental Shields. It's true that I can't move while using that skill, but I have my clone. I may become an immobile fortress that keeps sending Magic Bullets one after another."

After getting a bit understanding of this skill, Theo suddenly grabbed it with a serious expression. He closed his eyes and the card suddenly disappeared from his hand as if it was burned into ashes.

There was a change in Theo's skill.

Name: Theodore Griffith

Status: Champion

Level: 226

EXP: 13788/173166

Blessing: God of Mischief

Skill: Three Great Defense (C), Clone (C), Cannon Blast (C), Magic Bullet (C), Flowmotion (C), Telekinesis (B), Blink (C), Elemental Shield (D), Illusion Multiplier (D), Illusion Manipulation (C)

Attributes: Strength 320, Endurance 205, Agility 209, Vitality 205, Magic Power 320

Free Attribute Points: 0

"…" Theo nodded in agreement after seeing his Swift Energy was replaced by Three Great Defense. He had Cannon Blast, Magic Bullet, Telekinesis and External Flow for his attack power anyway, so he needed powerful defense or mobility.

Since this Three Great Defense was a different type than his Elemental Shield, he chose to abandon the Swift Energy for the time being.

After getting the reward from the lich, he made his way to the fish he just killed. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything interesting.

Skill: Water Wave (D)

Effect: Control the water in the surroundings.

Megalo Fish Fang (C)

A powerful fang that can improve one's water affinity.

Megalo Fish Fin (D)

A nutritious ingredient, especially for Water Affinity monsters. It can increase one's health as well.

The skill was useless to him, who didn't have any affinity. And it was the same as the two Material Cards. All he could do was sell these cards.

"Kyu!" Ava came to him after Theo finished gathering his loot. She seemed to have sensed Theo's doubt in his eyes, so she asked, "Kyu?!"

Obviously, Theo didn't understand what she was saying. However, her concerned face was enough for him. "I'm fine."

"Kyu?!"

Theo smiled and nodded while extending his hand to Ava.

Ava quickly leaped to Theo's hand and looked at his face to confirm his condition.

"In any case, we have used too much Magic Power today even though it's still in the morning. But since there won't be any monsters around here for a while, let's bring down our camp a bit closer to Big Sin Valley."

"Kyu?!" Ava asked again while pointing at the Big Sin Valley while waving her hand left and right.

"How are we going to proceed?" Theo suddenly smiled. "That's simple…"
