Chapter 1894 The Dark King's Decision

"Alright. We have arrived." The Frost Saint narrowed his eyes. There should still be some distance to the Dark King's house. Theo knew about it since he had visited him on a few occasions.

However, Theo also knew that this was the gate of the Dark King as the latter rose into the air and politely greeted them.

"This is surprising. To think you would come back here after this." The Dark King looked at Theo, not expecting him at all.

But the fact that he came here with the Frost Saint meant they were planning to talk about business.

He glanced back for a moment before asking, "If it's alright with you, could you follow me to a different place?"

Theo and the Frost Saint nodded with serious expressions. They didn't say anything and followed him.

The Dark King led them to a place a bit further away from his home. He stopped, checked their expressions, and asked, "So, what do you want from me?"

The Frost Saint was the first to answer his question. "You are the one who has followed me the longest. I know that you are the most talented person that I have and you're only one step away from reaching the Saint Level.

"So, I'm thinking about giving you the final push. It's the final push you might need in order to reach that stage."

The Dark King's expression turned serious. The Frost Saint never talked about that final push this whole time despite him knowing about it. Even the Dark King could feel the invisible barrier that stopped him from advancing.

After seeing Theo reach that level in front of everyone, he thought that he could replicate his achievement. But there was actually something stopping him. So, he didn't know what to do this whole time.

Still, he had another worry when he reached the Saint Level. The fact that he became a Saint meant he had the same status as the Frost Saint.

It would create a weird power balance in this place. Some trusted him, while most of them believed in the Frost Saint. It was clear that there might be a chance that he would be exiled or killed to maintain the monarchy.

So, he didn't know whether to accept this suggestion or not. After all, if he stayed at this level until the Frost Saint passed away, he could become his successor as a new Saint.

Still, he was concerned that a new Saint's strength wasn't enough to keep the monsters in check.

This dilemma caused the Dark King to fall silent for a long time as he thought deeply about the pros and cons.

Everyone wanted to become strong, especially reaching the Saint Level. But they didn't have the condition, requirements, or even the talents to do it.

Now that the opportunity was presented to him, the Dark King had to make a hard decision to make sure it was the best outcome.

After a while, he asked, "So, you want me to fulfill his request to become a Saint? Do you not have any opinion about me becoming one?"

The Frost Saint shook his head. "There is none. I sincerely wish for the best. If you wish to become one, I'll fully support you and give you all kinds of opportunities to reach that stage. If you don't wish to become one, I'll respect your decision."

The Dark King contemplated for a moment. The Frost Saint had given all the power to choose his life.

It made the Dark King a bit tempted. However, he still had to confirm a few things with Theo.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want to send you to another continent to help my people. I believe you can get the last requirement to become a Saint. Meanwhile, I can be assured since my people are protected by you."

"Do you want me to stay there?"

"No. You have a family here. So, I won't ask you to stay."

The Dark King and Theo exchanged gazes for a bit longer before the Dark King agreed to this request.

"Alright. I'll follow your plan. However, I have two conditions." The Dark King glanced at the Frost Saint and said, "The first condition is that you won't talk about anything related to Saint and Authority after I go back."

"Consider it done." The Frost Saint answered without hesitation as if he had already decided on this a long time ago.

"Then, the second condition is that I want you to allow me to bring my wife and my son for this."

"Hmm?" The Frost Saint was confused for a moment before glancing at Theo as he was the one in charge.

"It's possible." Theo nodded. "Though, I have to ask for your purpose in bringing them with you. What do you wish to achieve, Dark King?"

"Looking at your situation right now, I don't think the world is a safe place anymore. Hence, it's better to have them stay beside me instead of letting them be unaware of the current situation and getting killed without being able to see their family." The Dark King stated.

"Hmm? Do you know what happens there?"

"My wife." The Dark King only had this reply.

Theo obviously had seen his wife in action. Getting all that information wasn't that hard for his wife, so he realized that the Shadow King had gotten enough information from the call with the War God Family.

Theo nodded. "I don't have a problem with that as long as the Frost Saint agrees. However, I have to tell you this. I'm not planning to lose."

"I know. That's why I dare to risk my life with you." The Dark King smiled.

"Alright then. You're going to follow him with the rest of your family. I believe you can reach this level there." The Frost Saint smiled. "If you wish to do anything, no one is able to bind you anymore. So, you should choose."

The Dark King bowed his head to the Frost Saint as a way to express his thanks for his care all this time. But he didn't have a reply to that statement yet.

It was clear that he could only decide after leaving, so he didn't give the answer just yet.
