God of Tricksters

There were options they could choose such as staying in other countries that they believed no World Class Monster stayed inside, such as Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela.

However, Bolivia was too close to their former place. They were afraid the sea monsters would chase after them, so they had to go further to either Colombia or Venezuela. But that came with a huge risk as well because both of them were near the coast. Although they could stay a bit further from the coast, they might still be spotted by the monsters again sooner or later.

There was also another reason why they chose to go to this base. Unlike the base's situation, which still had a connection to the satellite, they didn't have anything to take advantage of. In other words, their civilization would be delayed while the US Base would advance by leaps and bounds.

By the time the US Base had reached their place, it would be similar to modern people staring at medieval people. The gap would be simply too big.

Hence, they should go all the way through and reach the base.

This was Alexa's thought. However, this made the journey even harder because normally, they needed a few weeks or even a month to make this trip in a safe world.

But now, there were numerous monsters standing in their way. Not only did they have to kill them, but they had to protect the people in their group.

That was why this trip carried a huge risk, which made Alexa ask the old man again whether she should do it or not.

And after listening to his answer, Alexa let out a long sigh and commanded her group to set forth, using the dark sky as their cover.

The sea creatures didn't know yet the people had left the area.

And Alexa was clever. Since she knew they managed to find them because of the communication tower, they used that tower to send a message to the people around. The real goal wasn't the message. Instead, they just wanted to let the monsters know they were still there.

The monsters would notice sooner or later since there wouldn't be anyone coming to disturb them anymore. But they wouldn't realize it that soon because they had just eliminated many elite teams that investigated them.

They believed the people were afraid because everyone was killed.

While they were drunk in victory, Alexa reached Colombia and kept continuing forward.

The group faced a lot of hurdles on this trip. The first one was the supply. They had to kill monsters in the way and use them as their food supply, but because of their number, they had to consider their drinking water as well, slowing them down because of the search.

They had also freed a few survivor groups. It might be due to surviving in this harsh world for two years, the people who were still alive looked strong and determined. They wanted to survive and the moment they realized this group was led by one of the top ten experts in the world, they joined the group to head to a better place.

Alexa also had an easy time using her abilities to support a thousand people. Her ability was similar to the pope. However, the pope could only heal a few hundred people at once, while she could support a few thousand people with all her strength. That was why the group became even stronger.

This additional power was good for the Black Cross because they had enough people to help them during their journey. And they kept absorbing all bases they found, except for the bandit group and the cannibal group that attacked them.

And due to the constant driving, even during the night, the group managed to reach Colombia in four days. The problem would be crossing the Darien Gap situated between Colombia and Panama.

Still, with their number, it was easy to make a road by using their Magic Power. They only had to watch out for other threats in the wilderness and they should be able to reach the other side.

It wasn't an easy journey either. Not only were there a lot of bandit groups, but there were also many monsters looming around the wilderness. Additionally, the swamp and mountain that covered most of their roads slowed them down.

They didn't realize yet that what awaited them in Mexico was a thirty-foot-tall scorpion. Its giant body wasn't only tough but also poisonous. The tail was dropping out a green liquid that kept dropping from time to time, melting the soil. Its pedipalps were also tough and could crush almost everything.

This was the World Class Monster in Mexico.

It would become an even harder opponent since Alexa was an Enchanter instead of anyone else. She wouldn't be able to defeat the monster even after strengthening all the people in her camp. After all, the scorpion also had numerous subordinates, including a few King Class Monsters that resided near him.

But it might be her good fortune for not wanting to sacrifice her people. Theo was actually heading to the scorpion's location.

Instead of fighting the scorpion head-on, he wanted to try to reason with the scorpion in exchange for something.

The scorpion was looking at the sky before a King Class Monster came to his side. "Saint. There seems to be a movement in the north. We're not sure about it for the time being, but it seems there is a human walking around in our territory."

The scorpion remained silent for a moment before asking, "Who is that person? What is his strength?"

"We're not sure. I'm about to go there to check his strength."

"Then, check it. The fact that he tries to venture into this area alone means he has some confidence in defeating our people, who have thoroughly slaughtered all humans in the area. There is a chance that he is as strong as you, so be careful."

"Understood." The King Class Monster nodded and disappeared to check this disturbance, which it wouldn't realize to be another Saint.
