God of Tricksters

After receiving that plan, Rea immediately told Walker to lead their force back into the army to relieve them. She also grabbed the radio to learn about the entire situation and asked to be updated about it.

She had to make sure that the battle wasn't going to develop worse than this.

Of course, Walker was in charge of protecting Syk. Although she was a bit worried that Syk would be targeted, considering he was also a monster.

She had told the commander to spread the words to their current force about Syk and two King Class Monsters. So, when people tried to harm Syk, some or even many people would try to protect Syk.

Whether it was because killing Syk would incur the wrath of their benefactors or because harming him would be equal to their defeat, she only wanted him to be protected at all times.

She had even told Walker to move away from the battlefield after telling Isaac about the situation and handed the mission over to him. This way, Walker would be babysitting Syk away from the battlefield while she still got everything she needed.

After giving the order, she started working together with the Shadow King to handle all these unique monsters.

Their situation was much better compared to the Dark King.

"Kh!" The Dark King gritted his teeth while blocking the humanoid rock's punch.

After the Shadow King revealed her position again, which was helping Rea distract the monsters, these four King Class Monsters knew this was their time to attack.

While those two were distracted, they had to focus on this Dark King, trying to kill him if possible.

They even ordered the unique monsters to buy them as much time as possible.

This was a challenge to the Dark King's strength.

However, the result was expected.

Although the Dark King was a King Class Monster who had reached the peak of this rank, his opponents were still four King Class Monsters. Three of them were at the fourth stage, while the other one was at the fifth stage like him, but not close to reaching the Authority Level.

Still, this was too much for the Dark King.

The fox waved his tail, trying to cut the Dark King. The latter easily overwhelmed him with a single strike.

However, the spider and the chameleon surrounded him from two sides. The spider shot out its string. There was enough pressure to pierce through the Dark King's flesh. Even if he blocked it, the web was covered with poison, so it would still be fatal to the Dark King.

But the moment he avoided it, the chameleon appeared next to him, punching him with all he got.

And because he positioned himself in the opposite way of his direction, the chameleon blew him back to the spider's web.

In the end, he had to take on this web with his own power.

He hurriedly formed a huge black vortex. His ability wasn't a swallowing or devouring ability like the original Theo. Instead, it was the Dark Order.

The moment the web touched the vortex, it gradually turned dark as if it was trying to take control of the web. But the poison inside the web was stronger than the Dark King originally thought, melting the control easily.

While the Dark King had a hard time handling this web, the chameleon had disappeared again, making him wary of his presence.

At the same time, the humanoid rock charged at him. His speed was the slowest, but he surely had the hardest punch.

A single punch to the ground caused an avalanche of rock coming out of the ground, hitting the Dark King.

The latter used his other hand to wave his blade, cutting all these rocks.

But it was only for a distraction.

The real attack came from the fox that hid behind the stone. It waved its tail, cutting the Dark King.

The latter also waved his sword at the same time.

Surprisingly, instead of blocking this attack, the Dark King actually chose to let the tail graze his body. In exchange, he struck the softer part of the tail, almost cutting it.

"Aaaaa!!" The fox screamed in pain as blood started to pour out of his tail. He tried to regroup with the rest while focusing on the scratch on the Dark King's body. It was clear that they could defeat the Dark King.

"Heh…" The Dark King was amused, looking at these four who had regained their confidence.

Even though he knew he was in a pinch, the Dark King wasn't frustrated. In fact, he was actually smiling as if something good had happened to him.

The four monsters didn't understand why the Dark King was actually smiling. But the Dark King precisely knew what this battle meant.

The Dark King couldn't help but recall his conversation with Theo.

"I only have four things to tell you during the battle. First of all, you are going to help the humans kill as many monsters as possible. Of course, I don't mind you conserving enough energy to avoid the worst-case scenario, where the humans betray you.

"Secondly, I'm pretty sure that the enemies you are going to face are extremely powerful. I don't know if there will be multiple King Class Monsters or a World Class Monster… But I'm pretty sure there will come a situation where you have to fight alone."

"Huh?" The Dark King was confused while glancing at his wife, who was taking care of their child in the distance. "What do you mean?"

"It's exactly as you heard… there is no other meaning. However, I also want to tell you that in this situation, you shouldn't escape. Instead of being frustrated, you should smile.

"If I'm not wrong, this is your opportunity to break through."

"A breakthrough?" The Dark King couldn't believe what he had heard. But Theo wasn't someone who would give false hope, so his expression became serious again.

Remembering this conversation made his smile bigger.

He knew the time had arrived. This was actually the reason why he didn't hesitate to send his wife away.

He smiled while muttering in a low voice. "An opportunity, huh…"
