God of Tricksters

As soon as Theo finished convincing the Sword Saint, he used his clone to split up. His clone went to talk with Maya while the real person headed to the other side.

Of course, there was no way he planned to leave the Frost Saint out of this.

After getting all the details from the Star Group, Theo planned to visit the Frost Saint to request his help. He had a perfect person to do the job. That was why he wasn't afraid of going there.

The trip took a day as Theo arrived at the structure once again, meeting six King Class Monsters that were protecting the structure from any harm.

"Who is it?" One of them shouted while glaring at a tree.

"Theodore Griffith. I know you're there." The Shadow King narrowed her eyes, forcing Theo to come out.

"It seems that I have been found out." Theo smiled while coming out of the trees.

All King Class Monsters except the Shadow King were alerted and prepared to fight, but the Shadow King asked them, "Please don't. He's an ally."

"You know him?"

"Yes."

"But don't forget that he is a human."

"It's the saint's decision." The Shadow King stated with a solemn tone.

That statement silenced all the opposition as they realized Theo's identity was bigger than they thought.

On the other hand, Theo was quite surprised to see this kind of lineup. He could see powerful King Class Monsters that would cause catastrophic damage if they attacked the US together.

"Do you think I can meet him?" Theo asked the Shadow King. "It's regarding the material. I've found it, but the place is quite dangerous, so I need some help."

The Shadow King widened her eyes in shock. She glanced at the rest of the King Class Monsters and said, "It seems that we need to alert him."

Although they didn't believe Theo's words, they believed the Shadow King. Since the latter had confirmed his words, they could only agree with her suggestion.

"That's a good idea. The Frost Saint is going around with the Mountain King, so we can ask them to come together." Another King Class Monster agreed without hesitation.

"Also, Shadow King. I might need your help… No, I really need your cooperation there."

"Hmm?" The Shadow King pondered for a moment and asked another King Class Monster to inform the Frost Saint. Meanwhile, she remained here and said, "I understand. Let me hear your plan first."

"Sure." Theo smiled as he started talking about the information they got to the plan he had in mind.

While they were engaging in talk, the Frost Saint had arrived with the Mountain King, asking, "So, you have it?"

"Nope, not yet. My world is not like yours… Well, it's similar in this case, but I don't plan on betraying my own norm. If I want to get it, I'm planning to win it. Seizing or even stealing it is an option, but when I was weak, I didn't like people who did something like that to me. So, now that I have become stronger, I'm not planning to become like them. This is just a matter of principle." Theo shook his head helplessly.

Of course, if he got help from this side, seizing the item or even stealing it would be easy.

However, Theo tried his best not to be a hypocrite like the one he hated the most. Laust's Family tried to kill him to get the pocket watch from him, and he hated them. But he would become the same person if he used the power from this side to steal the stone.

"You don't want to act like the person you hate." The Frost Saint thought for a moment. "Do you have the confidence to win it?"

"I have one of the biggest companies in the world backing me up financially. I have some assurance."

Suddenly, the Shadow King spoke up. "Saint. I have decided to go with him to protect him. He has agreed to let me have the stone after procuring it. In the worst-case scenario, I can use my power to steal it."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. This place was my former territory, so I was responsible for the incident. Please let me do it."

The Frost Saint paused for a moment before asking, "Are you going to do that?"

"That?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"Shadow Possession. Basically, I'll control your shadow and lend you my ability. It won't be as strong as the current me, but it should allow you to use some of my abilities."

"Hoh?" Theo was amused by this Shadow Possession.

"Since you asked me that way, I have no way to prevent you. Be careful." The Frost Saint finally gave his permission.

"Thank you." The Shadow Queen asked, "When will it start?"

"In two weeks, but I should go there in ten days."

"That's enough. In seven days, I'm going to teach you how to use my ability. This way, even without me making my appearance, you should be able to fend off any danger that comes your way. If it's only running away, if you can utilize my power, running away from that human King shouldn't be that much of a problem. Our problem can be solved without you giving your identity away."

"Hoh?" Theo smirked. "Interesting."

"If you agree, then follow me."

Theo glanced at the Frost Saint, who gave his nod and followed the Shadow King.

They went to another place away from any monsters. The Shadow King stood in front of him and raised three fingers. "I'm going to enter your shadow later and grant you power. My plan is to allow you to use three of my abilities."

The Shadow King waved her hand once.

Suddenly, the shadow from the trees and bushes emerged from the ground and expanded, creating a sharp thin shadow blade that cut all the trees in the area.

*Boom!*

All the trees fell down.

"This is the first Shadow Ability, Shadow Blades. I believe you can learn three of my abilities within a week, but it'll depend on your talent."

"Hehe. I'm looking forward to it." Theo smirked.
