God of Tricksters-Chapter 2108 Why?
The slime was able to see everything around clearly.
'Huh? Why did he kill the Dragon King? In that situation, the Dragon King would die sooner or later…' The slime was confused, watching how Theo stabbed the dragon's chest.
However, there were only a few possible reasons. And with how Theo became stronger day by day, it didn't take too long for him to realize that Theo actually had the system. Yes, his system actually remained after the apocalypse.
'How can he even have that system? As expected, it must be related to his secret. Nonetheless, I still have to stop him from reaching the next rank. It will become even more troublesome if he reaches that rank after all.'
The slime understood what he had to do. But before he could attack Theo, another surprise shook the battlefield.
"THEODORE GRIFFITH!" 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m
The slime was startled. He thought, 'Huh? That Fist Guy? Wait a minute. He is at odds with Theo, so attacking him is also something normal. But did he truly defeat the one who is known as Sword Saint?'
The slime could share his senses with his other parts. It only took him a split second to find the Sword Saint, who actually flew behind the Fist Saint.
Normally, the Sword Saint would be rushing to stop the Fist Saint. But the expression on the Sword Saint's face was completely calm as though he allowed the Fist Saint to do something like this.
'Still, it doesn't make sense. The Fist Saint shouldn't know about his system. Then, what is he planning to do? If he is truly going to attack Theo, then the Sword Saint will be rushing to stop him. Judging from the looks of it, he is planning to reach this place in the pretense of charging at Theo.
'Does that mean he wants to hit me with his power? I am sure that it's effective, but he surely doesn't think I'm that foolish, right?'
The slime was suspicious of the Fist Saint's action. On the one hand, the Fist Saint joined the Griffith Family to wreak havoc on the battlefield. His action truly put Theo's group in a problem. On the other hand, it didn't mean that the Griffith Family and the Fist Saint were on his side.
In other words, he couldn't trust them completely. Now that the Fist Saint was doing something this suspicious, he had to stop him.
After making a decision in his mind, the slime sent forth a tentacle to stand between Theo and Fist Saint. This way, he could see the Fist Saint's intention.
If he truly came to deal with Theo, he would definitely loop around to make an agreement with him. But if the Fist Saint was planning to kill him, then he wouldn't hesitate to destroy the tentacle.
It didn't take too long before the answer came.
The Fist Saint didn't hesitate to strike his tentacle, obliterating it.
'What is that power? I feel like my slime is being frozen… No, should I say hardened? It's different from the Time God.' The slime was confused by the Fist Saint's power. But his intention seemed to be more concerning.
Now that the Fist Saint had destroyed his slime, it was clear that the Fist Saint was targeting him.
The slime was ready to take him on anytime.
'Wait a minute. He doesn't go to me? No, wait. He hasn't changed his direction. He's still going to Theo. Then, is Theo his true target?
'But with the Sword Saint behind him, I know that the Fist Saint doesn't intend to harm Theodore Griffith. Then, a conversation?'
The slime thought of another possibility. There was a chance that the Fist Saint would come to Theo to negotiate. If he and the Sword Saint joined the battle, he would still have some problems defeating them even with the power of Life.
The slime was determined to stop their conversation. But when he was about to send another tentacle to disturb them, the Fist Saint did the unthinkable.
'What? He is still charging at Theo? He doesn't have any sign of stopping.' The slime was dumbfounded. He thought it was impossible, but it seemed that the Fist Saint was planning to fight Theo.
Theo also raised his sword, ready to fight him. In the end, Theo swung his sword in order to block the Fist Saint's punch.
Once again, the Fist Saint action caused another shock to all the people in the area, especially to the slime.
The Fist Saint was indeed charging at Theo. But that was all. He didn't do anything else. He didn't protect himself, he didn't stop Theo's blade.
In other words, the Fist Saint came to this place so that Theo could strike him down.
'Huh? What's going on? The Fist Saint shouldn't have known about it. He shouldn't know about the system. After all, Theo and the Fist Saint have already been at odds far before the apocalypse. Then, why does he allow Theo to strike him down?'
The slime was utterly confused. He could see how the Fist Saint's body was supported by Theo's body because of his momentum.
The Fist Saint was actually smiling when Theo struck him that deep. He never expected this one possibility.
The Fist Saint had been going strong all this time. He might be reckless and fearless, but it didn't change the fact that he was one of the youngest Saints in the world before Theo appeared. He shouldn't be that foolish either.
So, why would he allow Theo to cut him down?
The slime couldn't comprehend it. And he was not the only one.
Even Theo was shocked when the Fist Saint didn't do anything.
"Huh?" Theo looked down. The Fist Saint's body crashed onto him and the latter used his head to hang on his shoulder.
The Fist Saint smiled and said, "And now… my mission is completed."
"Mission?" Theo was startled. He looked at the Fist Saint in shock, wondering if there was another conspiracy that he didn't know. "What do you mean by mission? Why do you let me kill you?"
