The Lightning Saint turned to him and said, "Here you go. Kill him."

Although the World Tree was badly injured and had no more tricks left, the difference in power was too enormous. It completely rendered the World Tree useless.

He couldn't help but remember when the Lightning Saint clashed with the Frost Saint. He realized both of them hadn't utilized all their strength. In fact, the Lightning Saint might use a portion of his power to protect him and Ava back then.

With this, the battle had ended. Theo had no time to hesitate since the longer he took to kill the World Tree, the more chance he didn't end up killing it.

So, Theo flew toward the World Tree while raising his sword, cutting the World Tree with his illusion.

The World Tree was split into two, especially around the destroyed part and the area where it gathered the Magic Power.

He never thought the situation would turn out this way. After all, he almost killed the two World Class Monsters by himself. However, Theo also realized the real reaction from reality was none other than the Lightning Saint.

"I'm unwilling." The World Tree uttered its last words. He also didn't expect he would end up dying like this.

He was confident he could defeat Theo with all the preparations, but it seemed it wasn't enough. Even then, if the magma dragon wasn't foolish, they would have won.historical

That was why he lamented the fact that he got a partner that couldn't do anything.

Theo closed his eyes for a moment, giving the last respect to the World Tree. Even though they were at odds, it didn't change the fact that the World Tree had to be respected. It wasn't easy to cultivate its power to this level, so his effort should be respected.

In fact, if Theo was the one to fall in this battle, the World Tree would have done the same thing. Precisely because Theo was a hard opponent that he respected him so much.

And this time, Theo was the winner.

Theo closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "it seems that you want to say something, Lightning Saint."

"I do." The Lightning Saint nodded. "Though, Ava is aware of it as well, so you might want to ask her about it later. All I can say is that.. I'm confused."

"Confused?" Theo frowned, feeling there was another meaning behind those words. At the same time, he also had some idea of what the dragon wanted to say.

"Well, this battle has ended." Theo sighed.

"Yeah. I'm going to leave with him. As for Ava, I think it's fine for her to follow you for a bit. After all, my people have gone. So, there's no need for her to be restrained on new land.

"And with you, I know that she will be protected in your territory. I also have taught her a lot about Authority, so the moment I pass away, she should be able to ascend the throne soon.

"Hence, it's time for me to say goodbye." The Lightning Saint smiled, glancing at Ava. He knew Theo would do everything to protect her, so at the very least, his successor would be in the safe hands.

"Master.." Ava looked down, feeling sad. She had been aware of the Lightning Saint's condition.

She looked like the Wind Emperor. Both of them were approaching the end of their life. Of course, Ava had grown some attachment to this Lightning Saint after learning a lot from him. So, she didn't really want to leave his side.

Theo asked, "So, are you going to.."

The Lightning Saint shook his head. "Of course not. You might not know me, but I choose the place I die and that would be on the battlefield."

"Huh?" Theo widened his eyes, never expecting the Lightning Saint to mention the battlefield. At the same time, he also realized why he mentioned it. "Wait a minute. Did you.."

The Lightning Saint only smiled but didn't answer. He flew to the magma dragon and grabbed his body.

"See you later." The Lightning Saint smiled. He took another glance at Ava before flying away.

".." Theo clenched his fists. The Lightning Saint said, "See you later," because he knew there would soon be a battle.

He had foreseen this battle a long time ago. So, this was actually a good thing for him. On the one hand, it pained him to know that the Lightning Saint planned to die in this battle. On the other hand, he knew there would be a reliable comrade that would help him.

Still, there was something that he had to do before thinking about the upcoming battle.

Theo glanced at the battlefield where people had witnessed the fight between many Saints.

With Theo the only remaining person on the battlefield, it was clear that they managed to repel the enemies this time. Theo only had to sweep the battlefield clear and they would achieve victory.

Theo glanced at Ava and asked, "Are you going to help me?"

"That depends on whether you need it or not. I believe you're planning to do something by killing that tree, so I wonder if you still need me there."

"Well, bring me the King Class Monster over there." Theo pointed at the tree that the King of Fighters was fighting.

"I see. You want me to capture it for you so that you can kill it later?"

"Yeah. You should know the leveling system, right?"

"You still have it? I have asked a few people who I met along the way, and none of them couldn't access it anymore." Ava frowned.

"Well, you can say I have the way." Theo shrugged. "I'll explain it to you later."

"Alright. Consider it done. I'm going to bring that tree to you. Or you might as well use it to decorate your house."

Theo and Ava smiled at each other.

"I'm counting on you, Partner."

"Leave it to me."
