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.

*Booooooom!*

Railander's body fell to the ground with a thunderous crash, breaking trees and rocks in every direction, creating a crater.

"Urghhh!" Railander grunted in pain and tried to get up, but before he could, his entire body was hit by attacks from random directions. The only thing he felt familiar with was that it looked like these attacks were made of dark energy.

*Boooom!* *Boooom!* *Booom!*

The sounds of the blows resounded all over the island, Railander had no way to defend himself from all this; he even thought that Theo was trying to kill him since he had blood flowing from all parts of his body.

["It will not be long before he's ready. Now use your white flames without anyone noticing in the darkness and purify his body while you use your healing ability,"] Isis instructed.

Theo did exactly what she said. He approached Railander and used his white flames.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A dying cry from Railander echoed out across the island.

Theo saw that Railander was reaching his limit, and used <Cure> and continued to use the white flames without giving Railander a chance to escape.

["It's done; you can get away. Soon he will go through the Heavenly Tribulation,"] Isis warned.

Gradually, the darkness that surrounded the whole island dissipated. When the others were able to see again, they saw Theo floating in the air, while Railander looked very battered inside a crater. But incredibly he had no injuries on his body, only the clothes he wore were left in rags.

Not bothering to look closely, Theo went back to where Yuki and the rest were standing.

Upon his arrival, Athena asked Theo, "What happened? And, why did you come back?"

Before Theo answered, the skies went dark again. The clouds gathered and made strange noises of thunder. Athena, Waru, and the rest were surprised. They looked in the direction of Railander and understood that he was about to go through the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Wow!" Sounds of surprise in unison echoed. There was no way they wouldn't be surprised. They weren't so sure if it would work, but they also didn't expect if it were to happen that it would be so fast. After all, not even ten minutes had passed since Theo and Railander started fighting.

"This is fantastic!" Judith exclaimed in total disbelief. She looked at Theo and began to think that he was increasingly mysterious.

"Theo, how did you do that?" Waru asked, very curious.

"Well, I just beat him up and healed and hit him again and when I saw that he was going to go through the Heavenly Tribulation, I stopped." Theo didn't lie, but he also didn't tell the whole truth.
