"I'm not here to fight you, Human."
Theo and the monster glared at each other. Theo tried to move his sword, not believing the monster since he assumed the enemy was the third World Class Monster.
On the other hand, the monster used all his strength to stop Theo's sword until he could explain the circumstances.
Looking at the doubt reflected in his eyes, the monster decided to introduce himself and explain the reason he came here. "I'm Avianar, the Space Saint. I'm here because I've felt the disturbance in space and reality.
"The reason why I'm here is to ask for your cooperation in order to maintain the current world. I'm not here to fight you."
Theo narrowed his eyes and said with a cold tone, not trusting him. "If you want my cooperation, shouldn't you have brought me somewhere when I got surrounded by those two?"
"…" Avianar couldn't answer it. On the one hand, he used that fight to determine Theo's strength. On the other hand, he couldn't say the reason because it would just annoy Theo.
He thought for a moment. "If that offends you, I don't really care. However, there is a time when enemies have to join hands. That's when a new enemy that can threaten both sides appears.
"Right now, Space and Reality aren't stable. You, the Reality Saint, should have realized this as well. If we don't restore stability, this world will collapse."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo frowned. The way he spoke had told him enough. He had made sure of three things.
The World Class Monster before him was truly a Space Saint if he could find something like that.
Secondly, he was already aware that Theo had the Reality Authority. He had repeatedly mentioned space and reality, so he should have a clear intention when approaching Theo.
Last but not least, Theo knew that if the latter wanted to kill him, he would have no energy to resist.
Although he couldn't trust the monster completely, it seemed he could still buy some time without using his clone.
He could use that time to check the enemy's intention while recovering his strength.
With that thought in mind, Theo lowered his sword but still looked vigilant. He even took a few steps back, showing his distrust.
The World Class Monster knew it wouldn't be that easy to trust him, considering he didn't help him at all earlier despite needing his help.
For the Space Saint, whether Theo lived or not, it didn't really matter. If Theo was alive, he could use Theo's power and his ability to repair their world.
If Theo didn't survive, it meant he had to patch the hole and let the world fix itself. It would take a long time, but it was still salvageable.
And without Theo, the Reality Saint, there was no one that could manipulate or even cause another mess in this reality, so he could afford to wait a long time to repair the world.
But since Theo survived, he chose the former path. He had to fix the problem as soon as possible.
Avianar thought for a moment and said, "We should leave this area first. There is another Saint approaching this area."
He mentioned the third World Class Monster, but Theo didn't know whether he was telling a lie or not. In fact, he suspected the monster before him was the third one.
But if he was truly the third one, he would have helped the dog and the chimera earlier.
So, Theo had no other choice but to accept his offer.
"Alright. Let's move away."
Avianar could teleport both of them easily, but he chose to form a gate so that they could pass through it one by one. This way, he wasn't forcing Theo to leave with him.
The portal even reflected the scenery around the exit.
"The end of the tunnel is located five miles to the north," Avianar explained so that Theo didn't doubt his intention.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo couldn't see anything weird for the time being, so he chose to follow him.
"You first," Theo said while preparing to use his clone in case of emergency.
Avianar nodded and walked through the portal first before waiting for Theo on the other side.
Theo would absolutely destroy the portal, but Avianar only needed to recreate that portal and catch up to him, pissed. It wouldn't be wise to fight him in his current condition, so Theo walked through the portal with a serious expression.
As soon as he reached the other end, Theo glanced back and saw the portal disappear. This was the best time for Avianar to kill Theo, especially if he had planted some traps here.
However, his goal remained the same. He never had any hostility with Theo anyway. So, he said, "Welcome, Reality Saint. This is not my place, but I think we can hold a conversation here…
"Of course, I'm pretty sure you'd like to recover a bit of your strength and close your wounds."
Avianar spread his arms and said, "In this area, there are no creatures that can harm us. I'll protect you until you recover a bit of your Magic Power and close your wounds. I'm sure you have that ability, right?"
Of course, Avianar knew about Theo's ability since he had been observing Theo, including the ability that imitated Aisha's healing skill.
Theo thought for a moment before raising his hand. The ground shook a bit before four walls around them, isolating them inside. He looked at Avianar and said, "I'm sure you don't mind if I do this, right?"
"Absolutely. Take your time." Avianar smiled and stepped back. He didn't need any door since he created a portal to go through the wall.
He left Theo alone inside, knowing it was better to respect Theo's decision if he wanted to negotiate with him.
Meanwhile, Theo closed his eyes while maintaining his vigilance. He had to recover as much Magic Power as possible so that he had enough strength to escape in case of emergency.
