God of Tricksters

"Axel Eusta."

"!!!" The Fist Saint suddenly raised his hand while both Theo and the Shadow King leaped to the left.

A huge black flame rose to the sky like a massive wall, but everyone knew this was the sword strike from the Dark King.

"Haaa!" The Fist Saint gritted his teeth and received this sword attack with his palm. His skin was strong enough to withstand the power, but suddenly, something weird happened to his hand. "What's that?!"

The black energy soon spread around his hand and gradually moved toward his right arm, planning to cover his whole body.

In that instant, the Fist Saint leaped to the side and let that power continue. He almost fell to his knees but managed to support himself up.

At the same time, he looked at his hand as the black energy still spread around, turning his skin black. "Strengthen."

Without hesitation, he utilized his Authority to stop the spread of this power and tried to expel it.

However, Theo had disappeared while the Shadow King waved her hand.

Soon, the shadow underneath him emerged from the ground. Since it was his shadow, its form resembled him.

And this shadow grabbed the Fist Saint's arms, trying to stop him from moving.

"Annoying!" The Fist Saint gnashed his teeth and released his Magic Power, blowing the shadow away. But because it was his shadow, it wouldn't leave his side and keep trying to distract him.

He turned around and leaped toward the Shadow King, but a huge sword suddenly fell from above.

The Fist Saint clicked his tongue and raised his fist, punching the sword. Without anyone using it, the sword should only rely on its heaviness to hit him.

This kind of power shouldn't be powerful enough to penetrate his skin.

Hence, it was normal for him to hit the sword, albeit he forgot that the fist he used was the one covered in black.

When he struck the sword, it penetrated his hand.

"!!!" As soon as he felt a slight pain, his fist immediately retreated as he jumped back, trying to understand what was happening.

"What?!" The Fist Saint widened his eyes and saw his fist bleeding. He never thought there would be someone that could injure him. It was even more amazing with the fact that his opponent was only a King Class Monster.

"What is this power?" The Fist Saint muttered, trying to expel it from his body. However, he had no chance because the Dark King had finally arrived, regrouping with the Shadow King.

When he saw his wife's broken arm, the Dark King released a powerful killing intent as he shouted in anger. "Human bastard! I will kill you!"

The Shadow King, on the other hand, maintained her calm and updated the situation. "He is one of them. He has an Authority, but I don't know what it is."

The Dark King gritted his teeth and immediately charged forward as if ignoring his wife's words.

"I am the one who will kill you!" The Fist Saint gritted his teeth before punching the air, creating a powerful air torrent, hitting both the Dark King and the horse.

However, the Dark King easily cut the pressure down before leaping off Selzik. Due to the nature of the enemy, it wouldn't be wise to keep mounting Seelzik, so he gave another order to Seelzik. "Protect her."

"Ngiih…" Seelzik acknowledged his order and immediately retreated.

As for the Dark King, he stabbed the Fist Saint with everything he had.

However, the Fist Saint easily struck his blade, repelling him. Still, there was another dark spot appearing in his fist, making him realize that touching the Dark King would be dangerous.

"…" The Fist Saint narrowed his eyes, never thinking he would be in this predicament against a King Class Monster. He was unaware that among King Class Monsters under the Frost Saint, the Dark King was considered among the top three.

So, it was normal for him to be able to fight to some extent against the Fist Saint. If he wasn't careful, he could even defeat him.

The Dark King waved his sword again and struck the ground, missing the Fist Saint, who was forced to avoid this attack.

Not wanting to let him go, the Dark King released his Order.

Suddenly, the ground turned black, spreading instantly to create a massive black hole on the ground.

Seeing this power, the Fist Saint clicked his tongue and pointed at the black hole. "Strengthen."

His target wasn't the black ground. Instead, it was the air on top of it, allowing him to step on that air.

This was the power of his Order.

But the moment the black hole appeared, the Shadow King also made her move, considering this was an opportunity to capture the target.

Since the Fist Saint was wary of the Dark King's power, the Shadow King waved his hand, controlling the shadows around the black holes and raising them.

Those numerous shadows rose a few hundred feet above the ground and connected to each other at the top.

These shadows became a bar to turn the black hole on the ground into a cage. At the same time, the Dark King also pointed his palm toward these shadows, channeling his power to the bars.

This way, the Fist Saint would think twice before hitting the cage.

In fact, this should be enough to capture someone if they were not that strong.

However, the Fist Saint was an Authority Level Figure. There was no way they thought this was enough to capture him.

As they predicted, the Fist Saint jumped into the air and struck the air, creating a massive pressure to knock down the bars.

The Dark King and Shadow King had prepared for this and reinforced them enough so they wouldn't break. However, the Fist Saint went one step further by pointing his palm toward the shock wave and enhancing it.

"Strengthen."

The shock wave became solid and crushed the bars, allowing the Fist Saint to escape.

When he landed on the ground, the Fist Saint suddenly laughed out loud. "Hahaha. This is good. It's been eight years since the last time I bled! I never thought that human bastard was trying to buy time…"
