Chapter 1040 Unbeatable

Chapter 1040 Unbeatable　　*Bam!*

More than half of the barriers immediately shattered into pieces. However, the Fist Saint's force was still unstoppable. It continued pushing forward, breaking more and more barriers.

But as one would expect from one of the strongest people in the world, he even used the shattered shadows to his advantage.

"Strengthen!" The tattoo glowed once again, releasing his power.

Suddenly, the shattered shadows felt like sharp glass. With the additional wind pressure from the fist, these shattered glasses turned into deadly weapons.

Half of them hit the barriers, increasing the rate of penetration. Half of them scattered around the area, piercing trees, grasses, or even ground.

But before he broke the barriers, he abruptly stopped with an annoyed expression.

Even the Shadow King, who was on the defensive, was confused by his action. After all, their surroundings had been filled with humans, especially Mythical Rank Humans.

He shouted in anger. "Go away. I will be the one taking care of her. I don't like how you're annoying me with your presence. Those who refuse will be killed by this fist."

In that instant, the presence disappeared. In other words, a single order from him was enough to stop the plan.

If they could subdue him, the plan to attack the frost giant would end up as a failure. Still, no one could think of how to defeat a guy like him.

Even the Shadow King was stuck in her position while looking for a way to escape.

"Sorry about that. Even if I want to kill you, I will make sure that this is a one vs one battle." The Fist Saint surprisingly apologized to the Shadow King as if he had done something wrong.

However, the latter couldn't care less about it. All she wanted was to escape from this place.

Since the Fist Saint didn't want to use the people, the Shadow King wouldn't hesitate to use them.

"Raaah!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, informing all the monsters nearby of this distress signal.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

Soon, the forest was filled with roars as the monsters began to come to this place.

"What?!" The Fist Saint couldn't believe what he saw. To think the Shadow King ignored his apology and used it against him. "You… are going to have a brutal death."

The Shadow King maintained her silence even though she was still surprised. As long as she had enough monsters stopping the Fist Saint, she should be able to find some gaps to exploit.

Her priority was to escape right now.

Without hesitation, she waved her left hand and controlled the shadow again. This time, she controlled the Fist Saint's shadow.

"Strengthen." The Fist Saint immediately used his Order to strengthen his own shadow, making it hard for the shadow to move.

As expected, they should fight Order with Order.

"Even with other monsters, you won't be able to defeat me." The Fist Saint smirked. "No, should I say you can't escape from me?"

His last sentence made it look like the situation was already hopeless and that she needed to give up.

However, the Shadow King called the shadows again, forming a thousand whips that surrounded him from all directions.

This time, she didn't wrap him because the latter would just break free again. Hence, the Shadow King surrounded him with sharp-pointed shadows, planning to kill him.

When he saw this, the Fist Saint smirked and lowered his body, grabbing the dust on the ground.

As soon as the shadows came to attack him, he spread the dust all around him before utilizing his Order. "Strengthen."

*Clang!*

*Clang!*

*Clang!*

As soon as the shadow touched the sand, they shattered into pieces as though they had hit a hard metal.

'What? Did he enchant all those particles to protect himself?' The Shadow King narrowed her eyes, realizing her opponent might not be a King anymore. "You… have an Authority."

"You finally spoke." The Fist Saint looked excited when the shadow spoke. He couldn't care less if the Shadow King found out about his secret since she would die in this place.

His nonchalant attitude just pissed the Shadow King even more. As Theo said earlier, there were Authority Level Figures that participated in this war. They truly wanted to bring down the Frost Saint.

"Foolish humans. You won't be able to fight against him!" The Shadow King snorted, trying to buy some time so that the monsters could aid her.

"That's not up to you. Whether we can kill him or not, you won't be able to witness that day. After all, your only fate is to die here." The Fist Saint snorted before grabbing a few small rocks on the ground. "Are you talking about the monsters that planned to come here?"

He glanced to the sides before throwing all those rocks.

"Strengthen."

The moment he utilized the Order, he turned the rocks into a cannonball.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The rocks caused an explosion that kicked all the dust in the air, creating a few craters with monster corpses inside them.

"Supreme Rank Monsters or below won't be able to fight me. Even if Mythical Rank Monsters come, they won't be able to handle my strength just like you.

The Fist Saint simply told the truth. It was the fact that he could suppress the Shadow King, let alone all those monsters. Even if those Mythical Rank humans didn't interfere, the Fist Saint would still have no problem killing her.

With just a single glare, the Shadow King truly had no hope of escaping. But with how Theo acted, the Dark King should already be on the way with his fastest speed.

As long as she managed to gain enough time, she should be able to escape with the Dark King's help.

After all, in terms of raw power, the Dark King was far stronger than her.

As for how she could hold on, she could only fight it out while preparing to sacrifice something.

The real battle between the Shadow King and the Fist Saint was about to begin.
