God of Tricksters

*Roar!*

After remembering the purpose of this fight, the Magma Dragon let out a roar that shook the battlefield.

The roar contained a message. And it was probably for the Lightning Saint. The Lightning Saint wasn’t with him, but he certainly received the message.

‘I will lend you my strength, not because you are the king, but because I’m a proud dragon!’

The Magma Dragon glared at the humanoid monster. His skin was red and he had a pair of red wings. His appearance looked like a devil, but the Magma Dragon never heard anything about him unlike the Lightning Saint, who had absorbed the knowledge from all races, including the human race.

The Magma Dragon had three heads. His right head was gathering Magic Power in his lung, the left head opened its mouth as if trying to bite the devil, and the middle head was excluding killing intent.

The devil might not be able to understand what the Magma Dragon was saying, but it certainly felt its intent.

The devil frowned. He was releasing his red-colored Magic Power, not afraid of the dragon.

“Your power is inconsequential compared to mine.” The devil suddenly spoke.

The Magma Dragon that this devil might be the first monster that opened its mouth to talk. The King Class Monsters might retain their intelligence and consciousness unlike the normal monsters. But the World Class Monsters retained more than that. They not only could have a certain reaction such as emotion or body motion, but also the ability to speak and think like humans.

They were different from the rest since they had been made with care by the slime. They were the strongest monsters under him after all.

The Magma Dragon glared as if he still believed in the dragon’s supremacy. The right head opened its mouth, releasing a breath filled with magma with the Magic Power it had gathered this whole time.

The devil surprisingly stayed in his position as if he wasn’t afraid of the magma.

*Bam!*

The magma ball that the dragon released hit the devil. It was supposed to melt the devil, but the devil actually waved his hand and blew away the magma.

“!!!” The Magma Dragon widened his eyes in surprise. The devil actually repelled his magma with a single wave of his hand. It was impossible, he thought.

‘His power can control magma? No, it’s something else.’ The Magma Dragon recounted what happened earlier.

When the devil waved his hand, the magma ball actually didn’t disperse. They were still contained inside their shell.

Then, the ball ended up following the devil’s motion and curved to the right before bursting out of its shell. It felt like the devil could control the magma itself and let it out after he was safe.

However, he felt something weird. On the one hand, he had never heard anything about Magma Saint in the past thousand years. On the other hand, he still believed that the power was related to magma.

After showing his prowess, the devil moved forward while gathering the Magic Power all over his body.

The Magma Dragon wasn’t afraid of him. Despite his size, the dragon was quick. He matched the devil’s speed easily and punched forward.

The devil surprisingly raised his right hand. The whole arm suddenly expanded like a balloon to the point its size was comparable to that of a dragon.

*Bang!*

Their punches collided. The dragon had immeasurable strength backed by his momentum and giant body. The force contained in that punch wasn’t that easy to stop.

Yet, the devil’s fist managed to completely stop the punch. There was no change in his expression or arms as if he had managed to stop the dragon’s punch effortlessly.

The devil then expanded his other arm and tried to grab the dragon’s neck.

“!!!” The dragon clicked his tongue and used its other claw to stop him. He utilized the sharpness of the claw to cut the hand this time.

But surprisingly, the devil’s fist suddenly turned into a sharp blade. The swing was powerful to the point the dragon got pushed back a bit.

However, there was something that the dragon found from this power. The clash between two hard objects like a sword and his claw should produce a clicking sound like a clash between swords. Yet, there wasn’t a single sound as if the blade was made of solid yet soft material.

‘Like the soil… no, like clay.’ The Magma Dragon frowned. He knew that this devil had a power far beyond his knowledge. And it seemed that defeating him wouldn’t be that easy even for a dragon like him.

He might have been defeated by Theo in the past, but that was also because of the tree and Theo’s manipulation. His true strength was beyond what he had shown in that battle.

The dragon hurriedly caught the blade with his claw and tried to twist the devil’s body. He even rotated himself mid-air to spin the devil.

With two giant arms and a small body, the devil should have a hard time moving. So, this action would force him to retract these two hands, allowing the dragon to have time to observe the devil’s power.

Yet, the devil once again showed that the dragon’s strength was too weak compared to his. He expanded his foot this time, turning it into a giant and long foot. He tried to kick the dragon with this power.

Of course, as someone who was good at flying, the dragon could easily flap his wings to regain his balance and send his foot to stop it.

But when it was about to hit the devil’s foot, the devil used its power once again. The devil’s foot suddenly got deformed like that of a liquid before expanding like a rubber. It circled around the dragon’s foot and moved like a whip, dragging the dragon.

“!!!” The Magma Dragon looked down, realizing that he was being pulled to the ground. In that instant, the devil retracted his two hands and used the rest of its power to swing the dragon to the ground like swinging a rope.

*Bam!*

*Roaaarrrrrr!*
