As soon as he finalized the challenge, Theo smirked and muttered, "I guess this is the first step. It's not like I need to go on a mission currently. Better to use that time to get an artifact to increase my power."

Theo took a deep breath and shook his head. 'No. I need this kind of pressure.'
He recalled all the times when he was forced to 'evolve' under big pressure, like when he faced the magma monster in the Arkahan Volcano.
Since he had agreed to this fight, he returned to the mansion to prepare himself for this fight.
