Chapter 1036 Agreement

Chapter 1036 Agreement　　"So, that's how it is." The Shadow King nodded her head in understanding. After listening to Theo's explanation, she could understand why the Dark King returned to this place. It was to ask for her help.

"Yes. I would ask for the Frost Saint's help, but he asked me to go to you first."

"I can see how my power will work. Considering how he acts, I'm sure he has told you to fix your own mess, right?"

"I know. However, I'm just a weak human. Even with everything I have, it's impossible for me to do this alone." Theo shook his head while sighing. "Well, this war also benefits me, which can lead me to increase my levels exponentially, but I am not planning a massacre, you know."

"It's not impossible for me to help you check that base." The Shadow King was surprisingly easy to negotiate compared to the Dark King, who always complained.

"What is the condition?" Theo asked with a serious expression.

"When you reach the Mythical Rank, you will go to this place again and help me."

"If it's possible, can I know what kind of help you need?"

"Aren't you desperate to ask for my help? Shouldn't you agree to this condition?"

Theo shook his head. "Although I'm desperate, I'm not going to enter something I don't know. In the worst-case scenario, I can simply leave the country. It's not a big deal."

The Shadow King fell silent, unaware that Theo actually wanted to ask for help no matter what. After all, he had accepted the mission from the God of Mischief.

The information might not be related to his power or anything, but it would allow him to understand more about this world. Hence, he thought he should complete it.

Of course, since there was no penalty or risk from failing the mission, he didn't plan to completely throw away his future for this.

That was why he asked for the request first instead of agreeing immediately.

"It's not something you can't do." The Shadow King raised her hand and pointed at the south. "In the south, I found a weird statue that seemed to ward off other races. I tried to push many races inside, but no one seemed to be able to enter.

"Because it was releasing a weird Magic Power, I assumed that statue had that kind of power. And only humans seemed to be able to enter.

"But when I pushed them inside, their bodies shattered due to the intense amount of Magic Power inside. So, I wanted you to get inside and check the statue for me. According to my speculation, a Mythical Rank human should be able to withstand the energy.

"If you promise to help me with the investigation, I will help you investigate that base. And if it's something dangerous, I will personally lead you to the Frost Saint. How's that?" The Shadow King presented the condition.

If she asked another human to do this, they would blatantly refuse, knowing they might die from this investigation since it was only her speculation.

However, Theo's action couldn't be more different. Without even the slightest hesitation, Theo accepted the request. "Yes. I will do it."

"Eh?" Even the Shadow King couldn't understand why Theo actually agreed so easily after giving her a hard time earlier. She tried to pry for more information by adding, "We once met, right? Back then, I had just returned after investigating that area. It was dangerous, you know."

"I know. But I will do it… I promise." Theo smiled, not scared by the potential to be killed.

"Aren't you supposed to be afraid of dying?" The Shadow King couldn't understand Theo anymore.

"Of course, I'm afraid of dying. Who doesn't?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"You should show your clone first." The Dark King suddenly opened his mouth.

Theo thought for a moment before using his clone. It was a perfect clone that resembled the original. Unlike Theo's previous clone, the body was made from the original's body instead of Magic Power.

In other words, Theo's Clone was none other than Theo himself. This way, even if he entered with the clone, there was no need to be afraid of dying. And since the clone was considered a normal human, he should have no trouble getting closer to the statue.

In that instant, every question was answered in her mind. She finally understood why Theo accepted so easily. It turned out he had a unique ability perfect for this kind of investigation.

However, another thought also appeared in her mind as she couldn't help but ask, "Don't tell me you're going to meet the Frost Saint with your clone?"

"I told you, I'm afraid of dying." Theo scratched the back of his head. "Of course, my clone will be the one meeting him."

The Shadow King finally realized what Theo could do with this kind of power. She sighed helplessly and said, "Whatever. I just want you to know that you will be miserable if the Frost Saint knows about it."

"At least I won't be dying." Theo shook his head, showing which one was more important to him.

"Fine. We will go to that place tomorrow. You show me the place, and I will infiltrate it." The Shadow King then turned around, looking at the Dark King, who was still tied to the ground with her power. "You will watch over Syk. If you leave me again, I will dissolve our relationship."

"Don't worry. I promise you that I will stay here." The Dark King nodded furiously. "Besides, Syk has become far stronger."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"I'm telling the truth. Syk! How about you show that move to Mommy?"

"Ada?!" Syk hesitated for a moment before walking toward the tree. Suddenly, he raised his hand, forming a small blade that suited his petite body. "Ada!"

Syk slashed horizontally, hitting the tree in front of him. But instead of the tree getting cut, he cut all the trees behind it, creating a fan-shaped plain with a 100 feet radius.

"Ada!" Syk puffed his chest as if he was proud of what he did.

"…" The Shadow King was silent, having no words to say.

On the contrary, Theo was shocked to see this technique and couldn't help but walk to the Dark King, saying, "What's that technique? What's the principle of that technique? Can you teach it to me?"
