God of Tricksters

With the Great Guardian and the Princess having made their move, the battle had stepped to a whole new level.

Even though they looked cool, they still couldn't stop Leonardo from shouting. "You idiots! Go forward! Attack the monsters and stop them. Make sure they can't help the dragon!"

"That's…" The people were dumbfounded for a moment but realized that the battle had just begun.

The monsters started looping around the dragon and approached the half-broken wall to deliver the last blow to destroy it.

"Ooh?!" The people were confused at the moment. After all, this was the first time they were fighting at this scale.

"It seems that the military has to give an example first! Battalion 1, 2, 3. Onward! Leonardo, any backup?" A general in charge of the military commanded the army while coordinating with Leonardo.

Normally, they wouldn't have to go to the frontline because their huge amount of experience was more useful on the back, commanding the soldiers.

However, Leonardo was the one giving the command, so all the veterans didn't hesitate to step forward.

"Not yet. We can't send forth air support just yet." Leonardo denied the idea before calling someone's name. "Jeremy!"

"I know." Jeremy took out a device and checked his wall condition before cursing. "Fuck!"

"What's wrong?"

"The dosimeter gives me a number… It's one thousand."

"Are you serious?" Leonardo bit his lips. "One thousand roentgen… If I'm not wrong, Chernobyl was releasing around 15,000 to 20,000 thousand Roentgen at that time. And two minutes of exposure with full protection gear would cut your lifespan at least half.

"In other words, thirty minutes… I can only allow the soldiers to fight for half an hour before pulling them back." He gritted his teeth.

"Leonardo. We have good news and bad news. The good ones are… The radiation can be blocked by Magic Power. There's nothing behind my wall. It seems that the mutated monsters can wield the radiation but can't replicate its true power. Also, the dragon should have the most radiation among them, so we can expect that the rest of the monsters have less radiation.

"But the bad news… I think you know this already, but all those monsters might constantly be releasing radiation."

"I know." Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows before glancing at the side, wondering what Theo wanted to do.

Little did Leonardo know, there was a mouse underneath the ground. That mouse transmitted the news to its owner, Eleanor.

She immediately informed Theo about this information so that Theo could know the current condition.

"Alright. The distance is enough for us." Theo smirked and said, "Dark King. Let's start!"

The Dark King smiled. "That's where you should stop, Theo. We, monsters, have our own way of fighting."

"Mhm?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows as the Dark King raised his sword. Suddenly, black energy shot forward and split into five.

The first light stopped right after the split, while three of them split into three ways. As for the last one, it increased in latitude for a bit and moved together with the other three from above them.

In an instant, Theo understood what was going on. These were the positions of the five King Class Monsters.

"I'm reluctant to do it, but I'll give you the middle position this time." The Steel King snorted. "Show off!"

The Hidden King leaped and began to walk by itself.

"What are you doing?!" Theo shouted in confusion.

"This is our way of fighting, Reality King. We bring our own people and crush the enemy." The Steel King bluntly explained it to Theo.

"Coordinating together is better in this large fight!" Theo complained because he had a plan in mind.

"That won't make us shine. We are here to fight to show our prowess. We are different from humans, Reality King! That's why we're going to do this in our own way."

"You want to shine?" Theo sighed. "Why didn't you tell me that from the start? I can make you shine far brighter than the others. If I can do that, do you mind fighting under my control?"

"Huh?" The Steel King glared at Theo for a while before saying, "The Saint has asked us to help you this time. I can agree with that. However, if you can't do it, I'll fight as I see fit."

"That's good enough." Theo smirked and raised his hand, shooting out another light while erasing the Dark King's black energy. "This is how you do it, right?"

"Yeah."

"Follow that light, including that shape. I'll show you how you can crush the enemies!" Theo smirked. "This is not my forte, but I guess I have to use it now."

"What do you mean?" The Dark King was confused, but Theo didn't reply to him.

Instead, he split the light into five again.

This time, the light that represented the Steel King moved forward.

"Huh? Hey! My position is higher than theirs. I should be the one taking the spotlight, not him!" the Dark King complained.

"Don't worry. I can give you the show you want." Theo smirked.

"Then, you're telling me that I'm just an opening act." The Steel King clicked his tongue, not liking this position.

However, Theo simply asked him. "Then, are you not confident to show your prowess? I heard that you could destroy everything. Are you afraid that others are going to outshine you? Maybe I shouldn't have any expectations for you from the start?"

"!!!" The Steel King was angry hearing Theo's provocation. He roared, "I will show you that no one can outshine me. I'm the Steel King and I'm the best!"

The Steel King moved forward as the rest of the monsters followed him, planning to ram their bodies against the mutated monsters according to Theo's command. He was going to show them that they were the best by crushing the enemies.

He looked at the shape of the light and started ordering his General Class Monsters to follow it.

Leonardo, who was watching the monsters, dropped his jaw to the ground. The Steel king was leading at the very front, becoming the leading charge while the others were behind him, creating a slant in the formation.

However, as a commander and strategist, Leonardo understood the art of ancient warfare. And this was an impossible sight in this modern warfare. But the shape truly couldn't lie.

Leonardo gasped and said, "Are you serious? The monsters are using… Wedge Formation."
