God of Tricksters

On the back, the Slaughter was stopped by the people he collaborated with.

"What is this?" The Slaughter furrowed his eyebrows, looking at the Mythical Rank Experts lent to him.

Unfortunately for him, none of them said a single thing. They just stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"If you're not going to say something, then I'll kill you too." The Slaughter shouted as he released his red Magic Power.

However, a young man's voice soon echoed in his ears. "You are not strong enough to kill them."

"What did you say?" The Slaughter gritted his teeth, turning around only to find a young man walking toward them.

He had blue hair and wore glasses even during the night. His clothes were just a simple suit that he wore previously in the auction.

"I've agreed to cooperate with you because I want that stone. If you're going to stop me, then I'll kill you." The Slaughter couldn't stand this guy's nonchalant face as if he had done nothing wrong.

"It's impossible. You can't defeat me." The young man harrumphed. His face was brimming with confidence.

"Then, die!" The Slaughter didn't want to waste any more time with him and hurriedly attacked him with his blood bat.

Meanwhile, the young man jumped back to regain the distance. After that, he pointed his palm toward the blood bat as black-colored energy came out of his palm.

"Devour."

The black energy then swallowed the Slaughter's blood bat.

"Hmph!" The Slaughter instantly utilized his power to turn this black power into blood like he usually did.

Unexpectedly, the moment the bat released their energy, everything was devoured by this black power like what the young man said earlier. His Magic Power, his Order, and even his skill were devoured.

"This is…" The Slaughter widened his eyes in shock before forming a giant blood spear above his head.

The young man smiled and released the same power, enveloping the spear. The spear shrank and eventually disappeared.

"There is nothing that I can't devour, including your power." The young man smirked, releasing his power to the surroundings.

In that instant, the Mythical Rank Experts from his side leaped away as if knowing what would happen.

However, the Mythical Rank Experts from the Slaughter's side didn't know about this power before they were eventually surrounded by this black power that kept expanding.

One of them got their hand touched by this black substance. And in just one second, his hand became so thin that only bones and skin were left. The blood, the Magic Power, and even the muscles had been devoured by this power.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" The Mythical Rank Expert screamed in pain, but it was too late. The black power had moved toward his body and sucked everything in him. He died.

The corpse only had bones and skin left. The color of his skin was dark gray as if nothing was left in him.

"You bastard!" The Slaughter shouted and sent another spear to stop the black power. At the same time, he realized he couldn't feel any blood left on the corpse.

The young man easily spread his power and devoured everything around him. All the experts the Slaughter brought with him died after touching the black substance. The ground turned gray, and the tree died as soon as they touched, as though the black substance took away every life they had in them.

"Hahaha, die." The young man laughed as he released another black substance from his body, turning it into a giant shark that would swallow everything on its path.

"!!!" The Slaughter's body shook because he never expected that his people would die in an instant. And the cause was the young man before him. There wasn't even a struggle because they were too shocked by the black substance.

And this time, the young man was planning to kill him. For the first time in his life, he felt fear running through his body.

"What is this…" The Slaughter leaped back, regaining some distance. He could see that this man was using his Order, but he didn't know what kind of Order he used.

With this kind of power, the young man should be in the top 50 strongest people in the world. Yet, he had no information about the young man at all.

As someone who had been working in the underworld for decades, he could see through some face masks or illusions that could hide his face, but he didn't see any of that.

"Who are you?" The Slaughter finally realized that he had made a deal with the devil. And this unknown devil would surely leave no one alive to tell the tale, considering he had gone through such a length to hide his identity.

"Me?" The young man had a huge grin as he laughed uncontrollably. "Hahaha. This is funny. All the people in the world have known me, but you don't. I am a man who has returned from death."

The Slaughter didn't know anything about this person even though he had given him some hints. After all, there was no way for someone to return from death.

"And now, you need to choose. Kneel before me and acknowledge me as your owner or I will kill you." The young man smirked.

"Owner? Do you think I'm a pet?"

"A pet? A pet is someone who I still need to care for. You're not a pet; you're my slave."

"Slave?" The Slaughter gritted his teeth, never expecting that the young man had an even more ridiculous thought than him. He couldn't contain his anger anymore as he charged forward, releasing the blood from his own body to create the strongest attack.

Unfortunately for him, he suddenly dropped to the ground after extreme pain jolted his mind.

"Eh?" The Slaughter widened his eyes as he saw his feet had turned into skeletons due to him stepping on the dead ground. And he realized that his body would experience the same thing the moment he fell.

But there was no more time to react as the Slaughter touched the ground and had his life force devoured by the young man's power.

"Hahahaha!" The young man laughed uncontrollably while looking at the darkness where Theo's group went. "Just you wait for me… You're going to die, but not now…"

Unexpectedly, the young man said something that no one other than the insider should have known. "Theodore Griffith."
