God of Tricksters

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

The ground began to shake as cracks started to open on the surface of the mountain.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The monsters began to be restless as they looked at the volcano for a while before running away.

All monsters hurriedly left the area, starting from the flying monsters to the ground monsters.

There was no General or even King Class Monster near the volcano, so the monsters were scattering without directions, simply trying to leave the area as quickly as possible.

However, they soon another roar that startled all the monsters in the area.

*Roar!*

"!!!" The monsters paused for a moment as if trying to figure out where the roar came from. However, they all understood the meaning of the roar.

After a while, a similar roar resounded across the area. This time, the monsters confirmed the meaning and began to move toward the east. The monsters in the west even took their time to loop around the volcano as if they heard an order more important than their lives.

Unbeknownst to them, there were a group of people who maintained a close look at the volcano.

The group consisted of elite fighters dispatched by Theo.

"The monsters have begun acting strangely."

"The rumble earlier must be related to the next eruption. The mountain is going to erupt at any moment."

"Yeah. But did you see how the monsters stopped and moved in a certain direction?"

"It seems that there is another monster controlling them."

"So, are we going to take a look at them?"

"No. The commander said we should go back as soon as we confirmed the eruption and the strange movement. It seems that he is aware of the monster. Although we might not know the monster's identity, it's enough to prepare for it."

"In that case, we'll pack our things up and confirm the eruption before going back."

"Yeah."

The group reached an agreement. They didn't recklessly try to confirm the monster. Although this would be a chance for them to make a name for themselves so that they would get the recommendation, they chose to stop, following Theo's order.

As they expected, three hours after the monsters were moving toward the east, a huge explosion resounded across the region.

*Boom!*

"!!!" The group turned their head around and saw the rocks collapse, spurting out bright red magma. The volcanic cloud rose into the sky, becoming bigger every second.

Lightning strikes became even more visible in this thick volcanic cloud and the monsters became even more restless as if they wanted to leave the area as soon as possible.

A series of roars filled the area, trying to fight back the eruption sound that had yet to stop.

The bright red magma began to flow down the volcano and the volcanic rocks started to fall down, crushing everything underneath.

"…" The group exchanged looks and nodded at each other.

"Let's go back."

They hurriedly turned around and left the area while observing the eruption.

The cloud rose and rose again until it reached two miles into the air. It then expanded the area.

"Measuring…" One of the guys said while pointing his tool into the cloud. Not long after that, he received the scale of the volcanic cloud. "The height is 2.1 miles and it's now half a mile in radius. It will continue to expand as the eruption hasn't stopped. The wind is blowing to the west, so we won't need to worry about the volcanic cloud."

They couldn't stay there because monsters would start swarming that area, so it was best to leave, hoping their information was enough to help the battle.

Fortunately, the monsters had yet to make their move due to the mysterious monster organizing them. Though, it also meant that the battle would become even more troublesome.

…

Theo closed his eyes while sitting in his office, waiting for the news. They had been preparing for the battle.

Theo couldn't help but remember the information that Nella and Alexa had brought. According to them, the monsters had the ability to pick up a radio signal, so he didn't give any radio to the scouts so that they wouldn't be ambushed by the monsters.

Though, it also made the information slower. Still, it was better than getting ambushed and killed. Everything would be for naught at that step.

Suddenly, a soldier opened his door and rushed into the room. "Sir. We have received the confirmation!"

"!!!" Theo instantly opened his eyes wide and stood up. "Good. Tell the two commanders to intercept the incoming monsters."

"Yes, Sir."

As soon as the soldiers left the room, Theo walked toward the control room, where he could monitor everything.

There were a total of fifty people working in the control room, handling the soldiers and all their equipment.

"How is it?" Theo asked.

"Everything is clear at the moment. We haven't spotted any monsters yet." One of the guys said while pointing at the screens.

"There is no change for camera 31st to 60th.."

They had installed many cameras in the base and in the area, trying to observe all kinds of battlefields.

"Got it. Continue to monitor the area. Inform me when you spot a monster coming to this place." Theo nodded and asked, "How are Yesenia and Spencer?"

"Both of them are in their positions. We have spread our wall half a mile wide to catch all the monsters."

"Nicholas?"

"The support and the reserve army are ready."

"Kayla?"

"They are next to us, ready to catch all the monsters that escape from our grasp."

"Good then. Tell Haivan and his army to stand by."

"Yes, Sir."

Theo checked all his armies while furrowing his eyebrows, waiting for the incoming monsters.

Suddenly, he took out his Skylink and said, "Ergene. You four can begin."

"Understood," Ergene replied. Theo had brought Ergene, Jeff, Isaac, and Eleanor here because of their expertise.

As soon as they got Theo's confirmation, Ergene waved her hand to Eleanor, asking her to start.

Eleanor didn't hesitate to summon her mice and allowed them to dig the ground. They were scattered so that they could inform Eleanor about the movement on the surface.

"Jeff is good at plants now and I'm curious about this plant monster…" Isaac smirked, hoping the monsters would come soon.
