God of Tricksters

"Well, it seems that I'm ready." Theo smirked while looking at the entire area. The forest had been cut by him, and it seemed there was a need for someone to use their power to recover the forest.

Meanwhile, his shadow was moving independently, not matching his own movement at all. In fact, there were two bloodshot eyes coming from the shadow.

"I am good to go. Unless necessary, I'm not planning to leave your shadow." The Shadow King, who was hiding inside Theo's shadow, spoke.

"I know, I know. By the way, I want to ask you something." Theo nodded as he started running back to his home.

"What is it?"

"Have you ever gone to the other side?"

To his surprise, the Shadow King answered. "Yes. I have… This should be my 56th time."

"For real?"

"It's easy for me to infiltrate the human world. No one would realize that I'm hiding in their shadow."

"That's true. And the one who can recognize you is probably someone with an Order or Authority." Theo nodded.

"Yes. That's why I have gained so much information about the other side, and this place is now becoming one of the most knowledgeable places about your terrain. I know that the place we're going right now is a dangerous place south of your location."

"Seriously? It seems that the information that you've got is not shallow."

"My idiot husband often kidnapped Syk, so I used that time to infiltrate human society. I know about your society and even have used Skylink. It's easier for me to use that to find some random information."

"Don't tell me that you've brought them back to learn about human society?"

"No. There's no need for me to bring it back. I'm simply searching for important information and telling the saint about this so that he can prepare for any schemes."

"I see. That's understandable. And it seems that no one knows about your existence yet."

"Of course, this is the reason why I'm using Shadow Possession right now. I don't want to fight or even show myself."

"Though, that means you're directing their focus on me?"

"Isn't it easy for you to erase that kind of trace? Like the changing face ability that you showed back then. It was clear that not even someone with an Authority could see that through."

"That's true." Theo sighed, knowing that the Shadow King was talking about the Death Reaper instead of the Fist Saint. Even though she had seen his performance with the Fist Saint, the latter still recognized his power. On the other hand, the Death Reaper couldn't see anything wrong at all.

With this statement, she was indirectly implying that she had gone to Earth once more and knew the news about him.

"Still, it will be impossible for you, a Supreme Rank Expert, to challenge a Mythical Rank Expert."

"You're not talking about a normal Mythical Rank Expert, right?"

"I'm talking about the guy that you're going to face later. What's his name again? I think something about the slaughter?"

"Yes. That's the guy. Are you worried that your Shadow Possession will be exposed because I'm just a Supreme Rank Expert?" Theo asked.

"Exactly."

"Don't worry." Theo took a deep breath before covering his body with his Order, creating a fake Magic Power that came out of his body. He had seen enough Mythical Rank Experts copy their appearance, so the Shadow King could see a body that excluded Magic Power like that of a Mythical Rank Expert.

"This is…" The Shadow King thought he had seen through Theo after training with his husband back then, but she was wrong. Theo might be able to improve much faster than she thought.

"I can use my power to make your Order unnoticeable too. So, with this new identity and your Order, we can create a persona where no one knows about us."

"I see. Where is the city where the auction will be held?" The Shadow King asked.

"Salvador."

"Hmm. If I'm not wrong, it's a city near the coast."

"You're right. What kind of memory do you have? To be able to remember everything in detail." Theo shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, if you're going there, as soon as we retrieve the stone, you should go to Feira de Santana and head into the teleportation circle there. According to your plan, you're planning to get some power up on the other side while going through the land to go back to your country, right?"

"Yes."

"That place is called Elkisia Great Land, ruled by someone the saint knows. I can go through there too by myself to deliver the stone."

"I see. So, we're going separate ways after that?"

"Yes. Thank you for the help in advance."

"No problem. Are you not angry that I'm going to beat your husband up in the future?"

"If your two fists are not enough, I will make him suffer more."

"Haha." Theo chuckled. "Anyway, we're just going to run away, so there's no need to be that tense."

"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you." The Shadow King nodded. "I'll fall into slumber in your shadow then. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

After talking to the Shadow King, he realized that the monsters from this side had been infiltrating human society as well.

However, they were passive because they didn't want any conflicts. If it was human, they would definitely take revenge the moment they saw someone die. But it seemed that the monsters didn't care much about it.

Still, he wondered if a monster actually controlled a country from the shadows.

After some consideration, Theo believed that the monsters weren't that harmful. At least, he would consider them not more dangerous than the humans.

Of course, Theo had many thoughts about monster society this time as he continuously revolved his mind to come up with all sorts of assumptions.

The trip took more than a day, so he had a great time.
