God of Tricksters-Chapter 1872: Fisherman

*Clink!*

Theo struck the dog's teeth with all his might, trying to get away from him. At the same time, he felt his speed had dropped exponentially.

Although the Alter Ego might be able to help him, it wasn't enough to escape from these guys.

The dog was flying toward Theo while the latter planned to deflect him. However, the dog maintained his balance with his wings, making sure Theo couldn't do anything to escape.

During that time, the chimera monster had closed in and thrown the hook again.

"…" Theo clicked his tongue. His sword couldn't be used, so he could only rely on his Magic Power to deflect this hook.

Theo hadn't understood the way it worked, so he couldn't rewrite it like the dog's road. Ultimately, Theo chose his Death Avatar.

The giant avatar appeared behind him and used its hands to grab the hook.

But the moment the hook stuck and the monster pulled it, the Death Avatar's hands were ripped apart, unable to withstand the sheer power of the hook.

'Is he serious?' Theo glanced at the chimera monster that hadn't made any move other than fishing for him.

Since the dog refused to let him go, Theo used his Telekinesis to fly both of them in the previous direction so that Theo could move farther and farther away from this place.

The dog obviously didn't allow Theo to leave, especially after almost killing him. He poured everything he had into the roads and surrounded Theo.

Theo used his Blink to teleport out of this encirclement, but the chimera monster seemed to have predicted him and managed to hook him again.

"!!!" Theo gritted his teeth as he was being pulled back and had to face the dog again.

'Is he really a fisherman or something? Getting a Fishing Order…' Theo narrowed his eyes, assessing the new World Class Monster in order to find a way to slip past his range.

It might be because he had experienced the dog's road, his guess was more and more accurate.

The new World Class Monster was a fisherman. He was so experienced that he knew how the fish, in this case, Theo, moved.

He might not be able to see through Theo's plan, but he certainly could predict how Theo moved and behaved. By using that information, he threw the hook and captured him.

Of course, even if Theo struck the hook or even the string, he wouldn't be able to destroy it.

This fishing rod was the personification of his power. So, it was enhanced by the very foundation of his ability.

Theo didn't guess it this far since he was trying to destroy the string.

He waved his hand and applied his illusion to make it appear to be cut. After that, he applied the Reality Authority so that it would be cut in reality as well.

Unfortunately, the illusion worked, but Theo's power couldn't cut the string at all.

This was indeed the weakness of his Alter Ego. He usually got enough information about a monster with his Reality Eyes. But the ability was a different case.

They might not be releasing a constant Magic Power that could neutralize his power, but it didn't change the fact he had to understand them. If he didn't know the concept, how could he even rewrite how they worked?

Theo kept flying away even with the hook attached to him. At the same time, the dog was releasing three different roads.

The first one was the road to slowness. It worked effectively against Theo's Alter Ego.

The second road was a path to weakness. This was the same road the dog used in order to lower Theo's attribute points.

Last but not least, the dog used the road to doom.

If the dog only released these three roads, Theo could somehow escape from it. But the dog released two more roads, not on him, but on the other monster.

He used the road to victory for the monster and the road to empowerment for the string.

This way, Theo would be in a very disadvantageous position.

The chimera monster knew that the faster they injured Theo, the easier the battle would be. Hence, the fisherman poured more Magic Power into the hook.

Instead of catching Theo, the chimera actually aimed for the dog.

The latter actually knew about his plan by hooking him. They had fought together many times after all.

So, the dog actually grabbed the hook and pulled him up.

The chimera might be able to fly himself by using that pair of wings on his back. But getting pulled by the dog would give him the speed needed to catch up to them.

At the same time, that momentum allowed him to use the rest of the time to send another hook to Theo, stopping him from attacking the dog.

*Clink!*

The hook and the sword collided. Surprisingly, there was a shock wave just from their collision, showing how powerful and sturdy the hook was.

After deflecting the hook, Theo continued to fly away.

Meanwhile, the chimera managed to reach the dog back, using him as a mount.

The dog chased after Theo while the chimera gathered his Magic Power on the fishing rod. He seemed to be planning something else with that rod.

There was one thing that might be usable in this situation.

Theo turned around and clapped his hands, expanding the reality in two opposite directions to boost Theo's speed and slow down the enemy.

The chimera tried to hook Theo again, but his hook ended up going backward due to the expansion.

That was when the chimera monster released that powerful Magic Power on his rod.

"Go!"

Theo felt the sudden fluctuation of Magic Power above him and raised his head.

A huge net appeared out of thin air and dropped on top of him.

He used his Twisted Reality to distort the net and moved it away before it fell onto him, but he didn't realize the two Saints took advantage of this opening to loop around the expansion and catch up to him.
