God of Tricksters

"Boom!"

The huge gate was blown into pieces. The Shadow King had been leaping around the debris using her shadow power, but she could still see the Fist Saint coming toward her.

She never thought there would be someone at this level hiding inside the base. If she knew about him, she wouldn't approach this place at all.

Suddenly, the Fist Saint appeared in the air. His fist was already at the back of his body, charging energy for an all-out blow.

"To think there is a King Class Monster coming here…" The Fist Saint smirked as he punched forward while saying, "Although I have been told not to mess with a King Class Monster, I believe I need to kill you."

Somehow, the Fist Saint's hand was emanating a terrifying aura that even the Shadow King couldn't help but gasp.

Her shadow turned into something like a fire. After that, it began to swirl around her hands and formed a vortex, receiving the punch.

*Bam!*

The Fist Saint hit right in the middle of the vortex, feeling the resistance. Normally, a Mythical Rank Expert would be launched away, but what happened next truly shocked her.

The fist actually continued to push forward as if there was nothing to stop it until it reached her hands.

"Kh!" The Shadow Queen gritted her teeth and controlled the shadow of the debris, wrapping her body and pulling her back before the punch did any damage.

However, the Fist Saint was stronger than she expected. The fist generated a powerful air pressure from its momentum, directly hitting the Shadow King.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

She landed on the ground, crashed into a few trees, and stopped two hundred feet away from their position.

"Gah." The Shadow Queen spat a mouthful of black blood. "This is… I am afraid even he is not that strong…"

He, in her mouth, was none other than the Dark King.

Even she started doubting what she should do. The enemy's speed and power were truly unmatched. There was no way she could escape from this place.

Little did she know, Theo had noticed the commotion. When she saw the amount of ruckus caused by them, his clone immediately informed the Dark King.

Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, he let the Dark King know there was a big fight going on.

In that instant, the Dark King rushed toward this place at his fastest speed, leaving Syk to Clone Theo.

"Is there something wrong?" Theo narrowed his eyes while pondering what was happening. "Does she get discovered? But who can actually discover her? She is a King Class Monster. Her Order is perfect for espionage. So…"

Theo couldn't understand anything. There was supposed to be no problem in his mind, but soon another piece of information appeared in his mind.

A few weeks ago, Bernard contacted his clone, who was still working for Maya. He was just updating the information he had, so Theo could think of something else if something big happened.

Although this information wasn't that important, it turned out to be his biggest nightmare here.

"Don't tell me… The Fist Saint is rumored to have disappeared from his place, and everyone is desperately searching for him. According to the last information, he came through the gate, which meant he was on this side…

"And the only one who could actually find the Shadow King should be him." Theo gasped when he realized the Fist Saint actually came to this place. This kind of revelation completely blew his mind. "Why? How? When?"

There were so many questions in his mind, but more importantly, the situation had just turned into the worst-case scenario.

While Theo was thinking, the Shadow King and the Fist Saint were still engaged in a fight.

As soon as she reached the ground, the Shadow King raised her hand, raising all the shadows from the nearby trees.

Those shadows turned into whips that wrapped all over the Fist Saint's body. This was the technique that she used when punishing the Dark King.

However, the Fist Saint was stronger than the Dark King. When he felt the pulling force applied to the whips, he smiled and broke free. "This won't work against me! Hahahaha!"

The Shadow King narrowed her eyes and waved her left hand. Another shadow formed and emerged from the ground in the form of a scythe, cutting the Fist Saint's neck.

*Clang!*

'What?!' The Shadow King widened her eyes in shock, finding her scythe shattered like that of glasses.

"Oh. That's quite painful." The Fist Saint started rolling around his head to warm up while snapping his fingers. "It's been a while since I have killed a King Class Monster. I wonder if you're stronger than him."

The Shadow King gritted her teeth, wondering what she should do. On one hand, she wanted to escape even if it meant leaving Theo behind since the latter should know about the condition and retreat as well. On the other hand, she couldn't find any way to distract the Fist Saint and buy that much time.

"My skin is the hardest in the world. I wonder if you and your shadow can make me bleed." The Fist Saint smirked and leaped forward, planning to punch her again.

The Shadow Queen immediately submerged into the shadow and leaped around to flee.

However, the Fist Saint simply struck the ground with all his strength.

"Grand Canyon!"

*Boom!*

That one fist cracked the ground in all directions and turned it into a massive crater. The crater was 400 feet in radius, destroying all the trees in the area.

And due to this fist, the Shadow King needed to leap back into the air because the shadows became unstable.

As soon as she came out, the Fist Saint leaped toward her.

The Shadow King placed her hand on the ground and controlled all the shadows around her. "One thousand shadows."

All the shadows turned into a layer of a barrier as she stacked all that up into one thousand layers. Its purpose was to soften or even block the fist.

However, this wasn't enough.

"Haha. Interesting!" The Fist Saint laughed again and smashed the barriers with all his strength.

*Bam!*
