"Still, two years are a long time, don't you think?" The Phantom Archer still hesitated. With how Theo fought against the Slaughter, there was a chance that people would think she was a part of the group and get targeted, forcing her to stay with the group if she wanted to live.
However, Theo said, "I still have one more proof to show. I'm sure you can believe me after this."
"Hmm?" The Phantom Archer frowned, wondering what kind of trick was in his sleeve.
"You said this power comes from the other side, right?"
"Yes. It's said that humans learned this power first from the monsters who aren't so hostile to them." The Phantom Archer nodded.
"That's why I'm going to invite one of them here." Theo smiled.
"Huh?" The two women were confused.
"Please."
Suddenly, his shadow emerged from the ground, turning into a humanoid body covered in black.
"Why do you want me to appear in front of these two?" The Shadow King looked at Theo.
"Come on. I have helped the Frost Saint do this job, so why can't you help me? I used your power earlier, but we mainly tried to escape, not eliminate them." Theo chuckled.
"!!!" The two women jumped from their seats and took out their weapons when they saw a monster coming out of Theo's shadow.
"What did you say earlier? You used the monster's power earlier? Then, doesn't that mean you didn't have Or—" The Phantom Archer wanted to rebuke Theo, but she stopped right at the last moment when Theo suddenly released his golden Magic Power.
"I couldn't show my own power to them, no? Or they would have realized I was in disguise sooner or later." Theo smirked.
"By the way…" The Shadow King interrupted the awkward silence after this sudden revelation. "I'm not prohibiting you from sharing the knowledge, but I'm here for another thing…"
"Of course." Theo took out the stone they had just won in the auction and handed it to her. "Here you go."
"Thank you."
"Please use it to handle the problem in Argelia, will you?"
"No worries. It should be fixed within two months to three months." The Shadow King nodded.
"Argelia?" Rea dropped her jaw to the ground because they had just returned from Argelia. The problem was still stuck in her mind.

The incident was so big that even the Phantom Archer was aware of it.
Theo then slammed the table and said with a cold tone. "Yes. The incident happened due to the disruption of what you call Order! This is the kind of power that can destroy the world like nuclear missiles."
Killing intent started emanating from his eyes as Theo warned them. "That's why before telling you about this power, I'll say this to both of you. If you dare to tell others about this power, I'm the one who will hunt you down no matter who is your backing."
Rea and the Phantom Archer's bodies trembled, realizing the true severity of this knowledge. That was why only a tiny population was aware of this power.
'So, this is the reason Father never talks about it. He knows that if this knowledge is known to the whole world, there will be a huge catastrophe. I have never thought about this, but Father's responsibility doesn't lie only on the country and the family, but on the whole world. To think that Father has borne this kind of burden for a long time.' Rea thought, having another level of respect for her father.
"Well, I know that you have a good relationship with this girl." The Shadow King pointed at Rea before glancing at the Phantom Archer. "Are you sure it's alright to tell her about this? She can run away with this knowledge."
Before answering the Shadow King, Theo said to the Phantom Archer. "Can you lift up your hand?"
The Phantom Archer followed his instruction and extended her hand.
Then, Theo shook her hand like a normal handshake. However, she soon felt Theo's killing intent transferred into her mind.
Even when she didn't think anything, she felt that Theo could see through her. Even if she ran away, she felt she was being hunted by Theo.
She instinctively pulled her hand as if Theo had done something to her body and raised her hand, finding a red-colored tattoo. The tattoo was similar to a moon, but the Shadow King realized it was Theo's Death Seal due to the red color.
Without the two ladies realizing, Theo had also used his Covenant Seal to activate the Death Seal since he could only pick up his enemy's presence in his territory.
After that, he erased the Covenant Seal. The Phantom Archer felt that the presence had stopped as she looked at Theo in horror.
"Alright, I deactivated it… Sorry, but I need to do this. That mark is one of the applications of Order. Marking you with my seal will allow me to find your position. So, when I know that you're telling other people about it, it won't be hard to hunt you down." Theo smiled before glancing at the Shadow King, "It's fine, right?"
The Shadow King looked away. She couldn't say anything since she was aware it was just a trick to fool the Phantom Archer. The Death Seal wasn't that convenient, but the Phantom Archer didn't know about this Death Seal. It was easy to trick her.
At the same time, the Phantom Archer knew that Theo wasn't a lie from what she felt earlier. Theo truly had the ability to locate her.
Still, this only reinforced the Phantom Archer's determination. She looked at Theo and said, "I know you can't trust me yet, but I'm not someone who will stab someone from the back. And since the White Death is in your group, it's easy for me to compare myself with him. I'm going to openly surpass him within these two years."
"Great. Now we can talk about Order." Theo nodded with a smile.
