God of Tricksters

When he reached the bottom, he didn't land on the ground. Instead, he used his Telekinesis to float a few inches above the ground so as to not make any sounds.

This way, no one should notice his arrival.

Without hesitation, Theo immediately headed back to retrieve his Skylink and sword before heading straight to the troll's home.

As expected, his previous location wasn't that far from the troll's home since he arrived only one minute.

The tunnel expanded like the limestone cave he saw in Australia. And in the middle of the room stood tall a huge throne that was planted directly to the ground as if the troll had sculpted a giant boulder into a throne.

Next to the throne were black-colored cages with numerous corpses inside. Of course, the corpses comprised only humans, which slightly disgusted him.

He thought the troll would eat other monsters, but it seemed he was wrong.

On the opposite of the cage, there was a wall of blood. The wall was so red that the blood smell was so strong.

As if not expecting Theo's arrival, the troll widened his eyes and rose from his seat, glaring at him. Without hesitation, he leaped to grab his forty-foot-long wooden club.

There was no need for words to be exchanged. Theo immediately used his Blink to reach the club and kicked the troll's hand with the help of his Thunderclap Fist.

*Bang!*

The shock wave knocked the hand away. As long as the troll didn't have his weapon, he would be at a massive advantage, especially since the troll was alone here.

The troll had the same thought, so he wanted to grab his weapon no matter what. He sent his other hand to grab it, using the opportunity created by Theo's momentum.

However, Theo utilized his Telekinesis to fly in front of the troll and struck the troll's hand with his sword.

Surprisingly, black-colored flame enveloped his wrist, blocking the sword. But as one would expect from Theo, he didn't give up.

Another burst of shock wave blew the hand away. This way, the troll was wide open.

Without hesitation, Theo waved his sword and sent crescent-shaped sword energy to cut his neck.

But right before it hit, the black flame appeared again and absorbed the attack. After that, the troll raised his knee, launching Theo to the ceiling.

*Bam!*

Theo crashed to the ceiling and watched how the troll grabbed his weapon.

'As expected from a monster close to the Mythical Rank, I don't think I have an advantage in this fight.' Theo clicked his tongue and started falling down, using the Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion to hit the troll.

The latter raised his club before covering it with the black flame, absorbing the Magic Power again.

'What kind of power he has…' Theo narrowed his eyes before launching himself away with the support of the wooden club.

"Impossible. How can you escape?" The troll glared at him, releasing his killing intent. This was the first time that his plan didn't work. He couldn't help but remember what happened a few minutes ago.

…

*Roar!*

A monster let out a small roar as though telling him, 'Someone is coming. Shall we capture him again?'

This monster had been standing next to him this whole time since he was the one commanding the other beasts in this cave.

"How many are they?"

The monster fell silent for a moment before raising one finger.

"So, this is going to be a quick capture. Even though there's only one person, don't underestimate the human. That person must have some confidence in challenging me since he comes alone." The troll explained and ordered the monsters to go after Theo.

Little did he know, what he said about not underestimating them was true. And the result was Theo arrived here without any accident.

As the troll said, Theo had the confidence to challenge him when he came here alone.

In fact, he had been able to read humans pretty well. He was simply unaware that Theo had the information about him and knew how he worked.

…

The troll squinted his eyes while pointing his palm toward Theo. Black colored energy soon gathered on top of his palm as the troll demanded the answer. "How do you come here without being chased by my minions?"

Theo maintained his silence and charged forward, refusing to answer his question. Since the troll was adept in strategy, he thought not saying anything would be enough to handle the troll.

After all, unlike the humans, the troll seemed to have a different perspective about humans.

'Still, are the General Class Monsters and above this smart? Mythical Rank Monsters have even more intelligent monsters. If they're all this smart, it's understandable why humans can't easily produce level 1,000 experts.'

Theo thought while slashing his sword downwards, releasing the sword energy again.

"It's useless. You won't be able to go against my power." The troll snorted and prepared to absorb the sword energy again.

However, the sword wave soon split into seven and looped around the bat.

Even if it was the troll, he would need to leap away to avoid it. However, Theo was mistaken this time.

The black-colored energy soon wrapped the troll's body and absorbed everything. In fact, the energy was covering his whole body, leaving only a slight gap in his eyes.

No matter how hard he attacked him, the troll could simply make a simple movement so that his power could absorb them.

In other words, before Theo could figure out his power, there was no way he could land a hit on him.

However, the troll suddenly spoke while looking down on him.

"Hahaha. It's useless. Struggle with all your might, but you won't be able to penetrate this armor. After all, you humans don't know anything about our true strength. You don't know anything about Order.

"I will show you the power that makes a race like us rule the world instead of you… Even if you can trick my minions, you still can't defeat me as this is Order!" The troll shouted as a powerful shock wave shook the cave.
