Chapter 1042 Buying Time

"As expected of the Fist Saint, even a King Class Monster couldn't injure you." Theo, with his disguise, finally met the Fist Saint. His smile was big enough to show that he wasn't pressured at all, even though he was in front of an Authority Level Figure.
Even the Fist Saint stopped for a moment, squinting his eyes. There was curiosity mixed with annoyance in his eyes.
There was no information about this guy. And with the addition of what he said earlier, he was somehow convinced that Theo came together with the King Class Monster.
"Who are you?" The Fist Saint asked while becoming cautious soon. "Are you the one bringing this King Class Monster to me?"
"Correct." Theo smiled, admitting it without hesitation.
The Shadow King remained silent, even though she was confused by Theo's action. She thought Theo had known the Fist Saint was hiding inside the base this whole time, but considering how he got her husband's trust, he wouldn't be so despicable.
After all, there was no way that his husband couldn't see one's true nature. Hence, she believed this was just Theo spouting nonsense to save her.
Yes, he was risking his life to save her.
"Remove your disguise." The Fist Saint narrowed his eyes, sensing the Magic Power that enveloped his body. If it was just a natural release, the flow wouldn't come out at that rate.
So, he instantly knew the man before him was using his disguise. He wanted to know who this person was.
Theo smiled and shook his head helplessly. "Unfortunately, it's something that I can't do."
"Then, you can only die." The Fist Saint narrowed his eyes, releasing his killing intent. Different from other people, the Fist Saint had been fighting for a long time to reach this position.
His killing intent was so intense that a normal Supreme Rank Expert would have pissed their pants already.
Even other geniuses like Winston and the others couldn't do anything other than resist killing intent from affecting them.
However, Theo was built differently. The moment he felt this killing intent, he sent another wave of killing intent toward the Fist Saint's head.
Unlike the Fist King that gave an explosion kind of burst, Theo's killing intent was similar to that of a needle that directly hit his brain.
"!!!" In that instant, the Fist Saint's body trembled for a split second before astonishment filled his face. It was clear that Theo finally piqued his interest.
'This killing intent…' The Fist Saint frowned, thinking, 'Hundreds… No, thousands… This is not the killing intent you can get from killing monsters. They have wild characteristics like watching prey. But This killing intent comes from killing humans… thousands of humans.
'This guy… How many men has he killed?' The Fist Saint never thought he would meet a mass murderer, unaware that those thousands of humans were none other than Theo himself. Although he could feel the killing intent from the beasts, he still felt the intense murder within it. That was why he was quite shocked when he felt Theo's killing intent.
"Hahaha. As expected of a man who wants to fight the World Class Monster…" Theo chuckled and narrowed his eyes as if examining him. "Of course, you need an Authority to fight him."
Once again, the Fist Saint was stunned by the young man's statement. Order and Authority were hidden truths that not many people knew. Even back in their world, less than a thousand people were aware of this power. And less than ten percent of them managed to acquire it.
Hence, Theo knowing Order and Authority completely stunned him, wanting to know his real identity.
'A Supreme Rank Expert who knows about Order and Authority? Who is he?' The Fist Saint started doubting whether he should kill this human or not. After all, someone who knew this information should be very important. No one would bother to send him since his future would be limitless.
Even he acquired his Order when he was 67 years old and reached Authority Level at 87. On the contrary, the young man before him didn't seem to be that old. Probably 30 to 40 years old.
If this kind of person already knew about the Order and Authority existence, he could acquire it not long after. At that time, he would be the youngest person to get an Order, allowing him to become a young Authority in the near future.
That was why he wanted to know about this young man's identity. He should have a teacher among the top 100 experts in the world. Or…
Suddenly, a crazy thought appeared in his mind. There was one more possibility that allowed Theo to acquire this knowledge. It was to receive it from the monsters on this side.
Seeing how close he was with the Shadow King to even save her by risking his life, it was clear that Theo had a deep relationship with her.
'Is he like me? Was he thrown into the wild since young and ended up learning from the monsters? I can see the connection between them.' The Fist Saint narrowed his eyes as though he had gained his conclusion.
However, there was another conflict in his heart. It was how Theo called him out for planning to kill the frost giant. This was a top secret mission, and only a few people knew about this.
And Theo didn't seem to be against that idea even though he had been raised by a monster. It even made him doubt his current conclusion.
Even after racking his small brain, he never found any clue about Theo's real identity.
"Who are you? Do you know that your words are enough for me to kill you?" The Fist Saint threatened him again, trying to pry for more information.
However, Theo simply said, "You can try to kill me. It's just…"
"Just what? Do you think I don't dare? I couldn't care less about your life." The Fist Saint snorted and acted arrogantly. He wanted to see Theo's flustered expression because he could start getting clues after that.
"It's just you need to prepare yourself to be hunted too."
"Hunted? Me? I am the Fist Saint. No one can hunt me down! Even you or this King Class Monster can't defeat me." The Fist Saint snorted, raising his hand as though he wanted to kill the King Class Monster to show the example.
However, Theo pointed at the back while smiling. "I know, but he can…"
The Fist Saint was startled for a second and raised his head to find no one behind him. He thought Theo was bluffing, but when he was about to say something, a black dot appeared on the horizon.
It became bigger and bigger until eventually, he could finally see a black knight riding a horse.
He had been raising his sword and immediately slashed forward the moment he saw the target.
"Axel Eusta."
