God of Tricksters

Isaac narrowed his eyes after slipping past the enemies from the side.

"Walker. Do you see that?!" Isaac pointed forward.

"I don't see them." Walker shook his head with a serious expression.

Unlike Isaac, Walker couldn't see their Magic Power. So, he didn't notice the monsters that were stealthily approaching them.

However, Isaac could see the fluctuation coming from within the woods.

"This is Isaac. I have found numerous Magic Power fluctuations approaching. We are going to check them and retreat."

After saying those words, he nodded to Walker so that he could inform everyone about their next move.

A few scouts immediately moved around.

Meanwhile, Isaac kept staring at the fluctuations, trying to measure their strength.

"This is not looking good…" Isaac gulped down. "The monsters in the first wave mainly consisted of Hero Rank Monsters or below. But this one… I have seen a few Mythical Rank Monsters in the mix. But why are they sneaking like this?"

It didn't take too long for them to get the result. One of the scouts returned and informed him, "There are many monsters coming. I don't know if they have felt us or not, but they are more dangerous than the first wave. I'm going to confirm their number right now."

"No. No need." Isaac shook his head. "I can roughly see their number from the Magic Power fluctuations. Their number is less than the first wave… should be around four to five thousand. However, all of them are elites. Most of them are even stronger than the first wave. We have to return immediately… The monsters should have picked up our radio transmission."

Walker and the scout narrowed their eyes and immediately informed the rest to return. As they expected, the monsters had truly picked up the radio transmission.

They had known this fact after the sea race's attack. The Griffith Family and the Mafia Queen had confirmed that their way to find humans was through the radio signal.

On the one hand, they could use satellites to communicate. On the other hand, most of the facilities that controlled the satellites had gone down, causing them to lose a lot of range.

So, in this area, they could only use radios. And this was the reason why the enemies started picking up their pace.

"They have noticed us. Let's go back!" Isaac gave the command after the Magic Power fluctuations began to move toward them more aggressively.

As soon as Walker and the scouts regrouped, they immediately ran away, heading straight to the base.

Meanwhile, Isaac reported to Rea. "This is Isaac. We have incoming elite monsters, roughly four to five thousand. There are many Mythical Rank Monsters there."

"…" Rea narrowed her eyes and immediately transmitted it to the commander.

The order was immediately given, preparing for the second wave of attacks.

Rea and the commander had confirmed two things. Firstly, they managed to find out about the second wave. Secondly, they found out that the enemies had the ability to use tactics against them.

Before the second wave came, Rea informed the main command, Agata. "It seems that the enemies are beyond dangerous. They are using tactics against us. I am afraid that there will be some sneak attacks or even a layer of traps. We have confirmed the second wave of attack right now and need to inform the other fronts."

Agata was surprised to find the information. In the sea race's attack, the enemies might have an overwhelming number and plan, but they were simply too easy to predict.

This time was different. The enemies had a hidden second wave, showing how intelligent they were. If they proceeded without caution, they might lose this battle, especially since the enemies had a humongous advantage.

When she heard it, Agata contemplated for a moment before giving the instruction. "All fronts. Get ready for the second wave of attacks. Those who haven't been attacked yet shall prepare for a sneak attack.

"Strengthen the border and make sure that no monster manages to slip past them. Tell the Beggar Association to help us scout the area ahead. The enemies can come stealthily, so we have to make sure there won't be any sneak attack."

Agata commanded the group while transmitting it to the military headquarters. They had to make sure that they played their cards right after all.

She glanced at Felix and said, "I am afraid you will have to make your move sooner than we originally expected."

"I can understand how dangerous the situation becomes when the enemies are this intelligent. And the place I will be going must be filled with danger. So, there's no need to hesitate." Felix nodded with a grim expression. He had to make sure that everything went smoothly.

Millie looked at his father for a few seconds before clenching her fists. If only she had the strength to fight alongside her father, she wouldn't be stuck here. Then again, she had contributed a lot just by helping them with the communication network.

"How is the base's situation?" Agata asked.

"We have just received the news regarding the chaos. With us spreading the people around, especially those from the eight organizations, we have managed to delay the chaotic situation.

"But as we expected, they aren't as effective as the military. So, the chaos will explode sooner or later," reported Nella while staring at her screen.

"Got it. Maintain the current status for the time being. We need to find the right time to attack our enemies to end this battle as soon as possible." Agata nodded in understanding.

While Agata was maintaining the chain of command, the second wave had finally reached their location.

Rea, who had been standing by this whole time, finally released her Magic Power.

"Rea. The fluctuations are getting stronger. They are attacking!"

"Yeah, I know." Rea nodded with a serious expression. Her eyes became sharper and a pair of dragon horns came out of her forehead. Her skin started getting covered with scales and a dragon tail emerged from her back.

"I am going to stop them myself."
