God of Tricksters

On Rea’s battlefield, after the Dark Saint defeated all the King Class Monsters.

He immediately went to his wife to check her situation. Luckily, she managed to handle the unique monsters with Rea.

From the way she looked, it seemed that it wasn’t a hard battle. There were no visible injuries on her body and the amount of her Magic Power was still quite high.

“It seems that you are done here.” The Dark Saint smiled, looking at Rea.

“Thank you for your support this time. We wouldn’t be able to defeat them without your help.” Rea politely thanked him.

The Dark King waved his hand. “It’s true that one of the reasons I joined this battle was because of Theo. However, I couldn’t be a hypocrite to not acknowledge the temptation.

“Thanks to Theo, I managed to become a Saint. He gave me this battlefield to allow me to take the last step. So, I should be the one thanking you.

“As for now, I think we will hide nearby to make sure that no other ambush hits you.” He glanced at his wife. “How about I take care of Syk? You can hide inside her shadow for the time being and inform us if something goes wrong.”

The Shadow King thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright. That’s for the best. Although the humans have known us, I’m still uncomfortable mingling around them. There are a lot of stares saying that they still don’t trust us. So, it’s better to stay away.”

“Good.” The Dark Saint nodded. After the Shadow King disappeared, the Dark Saint turned back to Rea. “Also, since the battle has reached this point, I’m going to tell you about two messages from Theo.

“First, if you manage to win this battle, don’t rejoice. The fact that the enemies show this much power and don’t mind losing them. It means that they have more power than we imagine.

“Instead of celebrating the victory, you should put all your attention on figuring out their exact number. After all, the next attack will be an all-out attack. So, make sure to give me a full report after I return.”

“!!!” Rea widened her eyes when she heard the first message. As Theo said, the enemies actually threw thirteen King Class Monsters at them.

This number was far beyond their imagination. If the enemies could actually send this much in the first attack, it was clear that they could send more in the final battle.

Their number might be more than three times to make it less hurt when losing them.

“This…” Rea shuddered. She looked at the Dark King and said, “Impossible. There might be at least forty King Class Monsters that will be attacking us next.”

The Dark King thought for a moment. “Hmm. A Saint normally has fifteen to twenty King Class Monsters under their command. Though, a new Saint usually only has around five.

“If we go along with that number, I’m afraid that the enemies also have at least two more Saints. Though, I don’t know why a Saint would be fighting for the slime. I’ve heard a lot from Theo, so it confuses me.” The Dark King fell into deep thought.

Rea also couldn’t understand their motivation. But the fact that the enemies might have two other Saints meant they had to be extra careful.

After all, the former Griffith Family, specifically the Magic Saint and the Devouring Saint would aid the slime. In addition, the Fist Saint might still hold a grudge, so he might be coming.

In other words, they had at least five Saints along with the slime that could fight multiple saints at once.

“This is not looking good.” Rea let out a sigh. Forty King Class Monsters alone were already giving her a headache, let alone those five Saints.

“Well, I know that Theo will be thinking about it. But I guess it’s better to follow his instructions. And I’ll also be fighting alongside you in the next battle. That’s the promise. If he helped me break through to Saint, I would help him in his next battle. As for the second thing he wanted to tell you…” The Dark Saint paused for a moment. “The spies might act during this battle. Investigate it for a few days and immediately pull up. Make it look like we’re doing a half-ass investigation because we can’t differentiate the saints from the hundreds of millions of innocent people.”

Rea furrowed her eyebrows. She understood what he wanted, but she believed this matter was extremely important. After all, the spies might act again in the next battle.

But since Theo had given the order, she should follow it. “I understand. Thank you for giving me the message. I’ll relay it to Agata as well. That’s right. Does he tell you when he’s coming back?”

“Approximately one to two weeks.”

“Alright then.” Rea nodded. She waited until the Shadow King returned and saw the family off as the Shadow King hid in her shadow to make sure there were no more attacks from the monsters.

Although the battle was not over yet, the most dangerous situation had been resolved. So, they only had to clean up the remaining monsters.𝐎𝒱𝓁xt.𝓬𝑶𝓂

…

On the center battlefield, the situation was calm as if they hadn’t experienced a harsh battle.

Everything was because of a single man, the Time God. He single-handedly killed the King Class Monsters, helped Valerie in dealing with the unique monsters, and even massacred as many monsters near the army. The soldiers couldn’t stop praising him.

…

However, Ava’s battlefield had a bit more serious situation since they were the only ones who didn’t have a Saint to help them.

And the most concerning matter was Felix.

Felix was lying down helplessly. His left hand and right limb were severed by the enemies and he had lost a lot of blood. The healer and doctor had been trying to maintain his life until Aisha came.

Unfortunately, Felix only managed to kill three King Class Monsters and failed to kill the last one since the latter ran away and Felix was in no condition to pursue him. Even so, the monstrous Felix, who didn’t care about his injury truly had left a big impact on his heart and he might not be able to recover from it.

Even though his injury was serious and couldn’t help with the rest of the battle, Ava and Ergene managed to handle the rest of the monsters and would continue doing so until they eradicated every single monster in that area.
