God of Tricksters

"That's…"

"Eight King Class Monsters!"

Everyone was stunned, never expecting that there would be so many King Class Monsters stopping those two attacks. Still, the fact that those many King Class Monsters came out just to stop a simple attack showed how powerful the two were.

They simply released their energy without using any specific technique after all.

"I guess it's not that easy to break through that area…" The Sword Saint sighed.

"In that case, let's march forward, shall we?" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.

Theo nodded. "All soldiers are to stand by and receive the monsters in your position. All Saints and Transcendent Level Experts are to follow me. We shall break through their formation and push back some monsters to form the lines."

"Left Wing, Copy."

"Right Wing, understood."

Theo glanced at the generals that were stationed in the middle and pumped his fist as if telling them that he had left this area to them.

They nodded their heads with serious expressions, receiving a heavy burden from Theo personally.

Then, Theo started walking forward, followed by the Heavenly Sovereign, the Sword Saint and all other Transcendent Level Experts or above.

They all began to separate themselves from the formation and marched toward the incoming monsters.

Their speed increased gradually as they began to run.

The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint gathered their Magic Power in their hands. The right wing had the Dark Saint while the left wing only had the Transcendent Level Experts.

Yet, Theo wasn't that concerned about them. After all, he had placed a reinforcement in that area.

"Let me start then!" The Dark Saint smirked as he flew into the sky. A giant armor started to be conjured. The power coming out of the armor was overwhelming, causing the ground to tremor.

And the Dark Saint ultimately entered the armor. There was a pair of blood-red eyes reflected inside the helmet.

In that instant, the armor started to move. The first thing it did was raise his hand as a huge black sword made of its Dark Power formed.

"Dark Anguish." The armor swung downwards.

Three King Class Monsters sped up, reaching the very front. They immediately raised their hands to form a barrier made of Magic Power. They knew this attack was something not allowed to hit them due to the casualty it would cause.

Unfortunately for them, they underestimated this new Saint. Even though he had just become a Saint not long ago, he was already close to that level and even fought a Saint a lot, his power wasn't something that a normal new Saint had.

The moment the sword hit the barrier, the Dark Power of the sword spread all over the barrier.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters instantly noticed something different.

"We lose the connection to the barrier?"

The Dark Saint displayed this kind of power when he fought against the Fist Saint in the past. As soon as the Dark Power completely covered one thing, they would be under his control.

That was why the barrier immediately shattered into pieces the moment it turned black.

The Dark Saint smirked and continued his swing, hitting the ground.

"No!" The three King Class Monsters felt something different from the sword the moment it touched the ground.

The Dark Power was actually transferred to the ground, dyeing the ground black. The ground was also infused with the Magic Power and might cause some sort of eruption.

And with the monsters marching toward them, the Dark King might be able to kill a lot of monsters in one go.

Other King Class Monsters also felt the surge of power and immediately came to help them.

There were an additional seven King Class Monsters, using their strength to form a barrier that isolated the Dark Power.

This was the true strength of the Dark Saint. They might be able to contain it for a while, but the Dark Power began to influence the barrier. Hence, one of them had to go inside and use their power to directly stimulate the Dark Power.

As a result, the surge of the Dark Power burst out of the ground, rising into the sky.

The King Class Monster that stimulated the power ended up dying.

This was one of Theo's plans in order to thin out their number. Although they couldn't defeat other monsters, they managed to kill one King Class Monster.

Meanwhile, the Shadow King, who accompanied the Dark Saint, jumped forth and stomped the ground. Her shadow was soon extended and came out of the ground, catching five King Class Monsters that stopped the Dark Saint's attack. After that, she pulled the shadow like a rope before throwing them to the back.

The Dark Saint had to do the same. Hence, he abandoned the armor and flew with his real body. He turned the Dark Armor into whips and caught the remaining King Class Monsters, tossing them in the same direction.

"Let's go." The Dark Saint smiled at the Shadow King.

"I'll be waiting for you." The Shadow King nodded.

"Of course. Syk too."

The couple went together as they crossed numerous monsters. Those monsters wanted to attack them, but the Dark Saint used his power to strike them down so that they could get a smooth path.

Just like their area, the left wing also performed splendidly. Although they didn't have any Saints among them, the Transcendent Level Experts were utilizing their own strength to break through.

But Theo's plan started to show its true might. The King Class Monsters that were about to stop those Transcendent Level Experts were shocked by the appearance of a huge skeleton from the ground.

*Bam!*

A huge skeleton hand emerged from the ground, grabbing a single King Class Monster.

"!!!" The King Class Monster was startled and immediately struggled to get out. But before he could do anything, the skeleton hand had begun absorbing the monster's vitality.

"Aaaahhhh!" The King Class Monster screamed in pain as his body was surrounded by a blackish red aura. The wrinkles started to appear and the body became thinner as time passed.

Before they realized it, the monster had become so thin that there seemed to be only bone and skin left.

Yes, the hidden card Theo placed in the left wing was none other than the Goddess of Death.
