"Wait. He's the enemy!" The World Tree hurriedly explained that they should attack together. It wished the dragon this time wasn't as foolish as the magma dragon.

However, Theo suddenly interjected. "It's been a while, Lightning Saint."

"!!!" The World Tree was startled.

The dragon glanced at Theo along with the battlefield behind him. There wasn't any dragon among them, so he realized this battle was between the World Tree and Theo. The magma dragon wasn't supposed to be here.

The Lightning Saint asked, "Did you kill him?"

"He's still alive, albeit barely. He got hit by three out of four of that tree's strongest attacks after all." Theo sighed before asking, "And surely, you aren't going to blame me for doing this to him, right?"

"From the looks of it, he's not supposed to be fighting you. That's why I know you're simply defending yourself. The fact that you have to fight him along with this tree is enough for me to know how dangerous the fight was.

"I should be the one to apologize." The Lightning Saint paused for a moment before asking, "You surely don't mind me taking his body back, right?"

The Lightning Saint knew how shameless it was to take the magma dragon back with him. If this was any other Saint, they would have lost their lives the moment they fought both the magma dragon and the World Tree.

So, stopping Theo from killing the dragon and asking him to forgive the dragon wasn't a simple matter.

However, Theo wasn't someone who didn't know debts and gratitude. Although their relationship came from the Mountain King or even the Moonlight Queen, Ava's mother, it didn't change the fact that the dragon was kind enough to teach Theo a lot of things, especially about Orders.

Without the dragon, who knew how long Theo needed to learn about Order? After all, the God of Mischief and the others didn't plan to teach him thoroughly.

He even took care of Ava and allowed her to become this strong.

That was why when he asked, Theo agreed without hesitation. "Alright. Take him back. Although he's half-dead, he should be able to recover by absorbing magma, right? Though, I'm sure you know what I want.."

"Thanks." The Lightning Saint nodded politely. "I promise you that he won't appear before your eyes anymore. If he breaks that, I don't mind if you kill him."

"Uhm." Theo nodded. "I only do this because it's you, Lightning Saint."

"I know. Thank you." The Lightning Saint took a deep breath and glanced at the World Tree. "Do you need me to kill this tree?"

"!!!" The World Tree was startled. It thought the dragon was trying to stop the war and allowed him to go back. So, when he heard the Lightning Saint try to kill him, the World Tree hurriedly unleashed its last root to strike the dragon.

However, the dragon simply waved its hand down. A bolt of lightning struck forth, hitting the root.

*Boom!*

The lightning knocked down the root before it began to shatter its strong defense. But the moment the lightning exploded, the half-destroyed root was completely obliterated.historical

This was the power of the Lightning Saint. He might be approaching his death, but it didn't change the fact that he had cultivated his power to the very end of his life. The accumulation of power he had achieved in this life couldn't be underestimated.

"!!!" Theo was surprised. He needed to do a lot to even destroy a single root. To think the Lightning Saint could destroy it with a single wave of his hand, it was simply unimaginable.

Theo might have reached the same level as Flora and the Sword Saint. However, the Wind Emperor once said that the Heavenly Sovereign and the Time God's strength were completely on a whole different level.

Looking at the Lightning Saint right now, he could finally understand the gap between them. It turned out he still couldn't reach those two figures even with his current power.

Of course, Theo could only use his Second Law for a bit and just realized the nature of his Reality. If he could master them, Theo might have a chance against them. And that Third Law was used to surpass them.

Still, Theo clenched his fists, swearing to get even stronger. If any of the Saints heard Theo's conviction, they would surely stop Theo, telling him he was still too young.

Ava glanced at her partner and smiled, knowing full well what he thought. She could definitely say she never saw anyone more determined to get stronger than Theo.

Suddenly, Theo said, "Lightning Saint. I have to kill him with my own hand."

The Lightning Saint glanced at Theo. Although he didn't know why Theo wanted to do it, he agreed without hesitation.

"Alright. I'll leave him half-dead." The Lightning Saint's eyes flashed as the lightning strikes started to fall, rampaging the land.

The World Tree only had the branches left to stop the attack. Even his leaves only remained twenty percent due to the intense fight against Theo.

The lightning dragon waved its hands again, summoning the lightning bolt.

The tree used all its Magic Power to strengthen the branches. Because of its lack of mobility, it could only receive this kind of attack.

The unbreakable defense might work against Theo, but this lightning dragon's explosive power was far superior to Theo's.

There was no way he could stop it.

*Bam!*

Another explosion occurred as the lightning shattered the branches.

But because the tree didn't have any more roots to stop the dragon, the dragon could easily fly straight at him and use its momentum to knock the tree to the ground.

After that, the Lightning Saint gathered its lightning in his mouth, aiming it at the tree trunk where its Magic Power was generated.

Unbreakable Wood!

The tree hurriedly used his skill to protect himself, but..

*Boom!*

The lightning breath hit him and the explosion engulfed him completely. No one knew what was happening inside the explosion, but when it was gone. They could see a seven hundred feet radius crater with the dragon and the tree in the middle.

The dragon was completely fine, but the tree had a big portion of its trunk reduced to ashes.

Theo felt chills down his spine, thinking, 'This is a real dragon's power.. this is the Lightning Saint.'
