Chapter 459 - 459: Taken by Darkness (1/2)

Waru thought hard about how to make the proposal to Theo for him to help the cultivators who were trapped in the 12th Layer of the Spiritual Realm. She proposed, ”Theo, would you accept to fight with each of our cultivators in the 12th Layer and see if you can help them to break the limit and have a head start for the Monarch Spiritual Realm?”

”I can, but what do I get out of it?” Theo put his hand on his chin and asked with a smile.

”Oh...” Athena was surprised at how easily he accepted, but what surprised her the most was that not only did he look like he was ready to fight, but she had the impression that he could help Judith and the rest overcome the limit and go through the Heavenly Tribulation.

Waru feigned a cough to calm herself down and said, ”Of course we are prepared, and we don't intend to ask for this empty-handed.” She made a gallon of water of 100 liters appear on the table, ”This is special water that only I know how to make, and you should already know about it thanks to Rosario, right?”

”Yes, it is Elftreen water.” Theo recognized it immediately.

”Yes, and I'm going to give you all this help and not just that...” Waru looked at Athena who was beside her.

”There are 1 billion gold coins inside this storage ring. I'm willing to give them all to you, along with the ring,” Athena said. What she was offering was not a small sum, this many gold coins would be enough for Theo to buy enough magic cores for him to be able to raise himself to the Monarch Spiritual Realm.

”Okay, I accept.” Theo agreed and shook hands with the two girls, showing they reached an agreement.

”That's great,” Waru said with a smile.

”Okay, shall we start now?” Theo asked.

”Yes, the faster the better, but it would be nice to have it done away from the arena,” said Athena, not wanting to affect the innocent people who came to see the tournament.

”Of course,” Theo agreed.

Jka, Ariana, and the girls left with Theo and the rest towards the exit of Athena's luxury ship. Outside, the cultivators involved in what was about to happen were anxious. The confidence that Theo had was as if he was sure that he could get them through the Heavenly Tribulation if he fought against them.

”Who's going to be first?” Theo looked at all the cultivators, then looked at Waru and Athena when asking.

”Railander, you go first,” Athena looked at him and said.

”Okay...” Railander was feeling pressured. He didn't like to get into fights that were not in his favor.

With a pair of black wings made of darkness, Railander flew, staying miles away.

”I'm going.” Theo said goodbye to his family and went flying up with a pair of wings made of lightning.

When he arrived in front of Railander, Theo asked, ”Are you ready?”

”Yes.” Railander, who was rarely serious, nodded seriously.

[”Theo, he needs to feel a lot of energy from the darkness and catch up with you using the darkness, so he can rise to the Monarch Spiritual Realm.”] Isis's voice echoed in Theo's mind.

Knowing what he had to do, from Theo's body, dark energy expanded even faster than lightning going in all directions. It was enough to cause Fallen Star Island to be overtaken by darkness. No one could see anything; everyone was blind and could only trust their other senses.

Railander felt frightened; he never thought that someone could reach that level with affinity and darkness. He tried to use his other senses to try to understand what was going on, but then a very strong blow hit his stomach and caused him to be thrown towards the ground.
