I Screwed the Novel's Plot

Trickster stood a few meters away from him, then he walked to the side while juggling his dagger. Damian's eyes followed every step he took.

"What's with the serious look? You scared me. Kekeke."

Ignoring his trash talk, Damian wondered how come he wasn't affected by the paralyzed fog at all? Trickster stopped everything he did and looked at the white-haired boy who was sitting on the ground whilst clutching his wound. When their eyes met, Trickster's smile widened.

"Are you curious as to why I can still move freely in this fog?"

Trickster made a thinking pose and chuckled. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"But, since you're going to die. I'll tell you. Be grateful because I'm generous. Kekeke."

Damian's expression darkened. Upon seeing the boy's annoyed expression, his laughter grew louder.

"You are not the only one who has Lightning and Earth Elementals here."

"You're a Double Elementals Bearer?"

"Correct."

Trickster clapped happily.

"Oh, but there's more."

He stopped and smirked. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

"My Tier is higher than you, who's only on an apprentice level, Your Highness."

Now Damian understood. Just like fighting an enemy in video games, even if you and your opponent had the same Elemental with both 50% Elementals damage reduction, Tier also played its part.

The higher the Tier, the more damage you could inflict, and the more damage you received could be reduced. With this, we could easily decide who was going to be the winner.

"What I want to say is; that your surprise attack just tickled me."

Trickster grinned innocently and then shrugged.

"But, I can't blame my men because most of them are Warriors."

He readied his dagger.

"Now. Shall we finish this, then?"

Nevertheless, his smile suddenly evaporated the moment felt something that he shouldn't and he could vividly see how the little boy snickered in enjoyment.

Trickster cursed inside and immediately ran towards Damian. But, a strong wind that unexpectedly blew, forced him to cover his face and plant his feet deep on the ground. The scenery became clear as the mist was swept by the wind.

Trickster gritted his teeth when heard how that little bitch chuckled happily while casting Wind Elemental to prevent him from coming.

Annoyed, he created a spell and shot lightning from his hand at Damian but, before the bolt could strike the boy, an earth barrier emerged from the ground.

–Tzz.

Trickster's attack hit the wall and from the crack, a fireball appeared and ran after him. As the wind was still blowing, it grew bigger and faster, without thinking much Trickster instantly leaped backward to avoid it. Right after he landed, he manipulated the soil into a spear-shaped and pierced Damian's earth shield.

–Boom!

However, when the barrier crumbled, the boy was nowhere to be seen. Trickster clucked his tongue in dissatisfaction. He just realized how stupid he was, he should have finished that little bitch instead of chatting with him. But, who would know the Mana Disruption Device would run out of time?

"Ah, dammit."

He massaged his temples and now the little cat was running away, once more. Trickster got up and started sprinting to chase after the cat.

The Count walked to Fedel's side and chuckled.

"Sounds fun. Count me in."
