God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 813 - Difference

"Rest?" Maya was startled by this one word. Her expression changed drastically, staring at Theo in horror.

"Well, first of all, I'm sure that you didn't feel much from it, right?" Theo shrugged.

"Y-yeah. It gave me chills, but that was it. If I wasn't shocked by the sudden appearance of that big guy, I wouldn't stop moving." She nodded furiously.

"It also took a toll in my mind to use this power on multiple enemies." Theo sighed and started calculating the power in his mind. "I guess it won't be that effective against numerous enemies… At least, not now."

"Are you sure about saying all this to me? After all, this will decrease your value." Maya frowned.

"So, you don't want to get me at a lower price?" Theo smirked.

"Of course I want it!" Maya immediately corrected herself. "Still, talking about your limitations and weaknesses doesn't sound like you."

"Haha." Theo chuckled. "I'm afraid that you're going to use me and my skills in the future. So, I don't want to get into trouble for failing to meet that expectation. For now, you are the only one who knows about it. Make sure you don't talk about it to someone else, including your father."

"I can do that." Maya nodded in understanding. It seemed that Theo planned to hide this power a little bit to have a powerful impact on his enemies. This kind of surprise attack would allow him to kill his enemies, thus becoming his trump card.

At the same time, she indeed had some plans in using this skill to hunt. It would be great if Theo could do something like that multiple times a day.

Their leveling speed would increase drastically.

In the end, he would be forced to give away this secret sooner or later.

On the other hand, if he had told her this secret from the beginning, he wouldn't get an unnecessary burden from her high expectation for this skill.

It was clear that this was a possibility when Theo added 'for now' in his sentence. Even though the secret decreased his value, these two words became a buffer that prevented it from decreasing too much.

And this was the desired result.

Maya thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's not talk about your new skill. Instead, let's talk about your advancement."

"Sure." Theo nodded and took a seat on the Cubicar's floor. "What do you want to say?"

"First of all, congratulations for reaching the Supreme Rank." Maya made a sweet smile.

"Thanks."

"Secondly, with you ranking up to Supreme Rank, I'm sure that you can see something that you couldn't see before, right?"

Theo fell silent for a moment.

Although the environment didn't look that different, he could see a bluish light coming from each object if he focused on one thing.

"Magic Power, huh." Theo instantly recognized this blue light since he had been working with it this whole time.

While maintaining his focus, he turned to Agata and Maya, finding the same blue light protecting their body.

"This is…" Theo frowned.

"Supreme Rank Expert is releasing this kind of power all the time. Hence, it's easy to differentiate them from others. As for Mythical Rank, their power has become too concentrated to the point they release a golden light.

"If you use any concealment skill or ability, you can hide this kind of power, allowing you to escape from prying eyes as long as your skill is better than them.

"This is why spies need to be good. Also, most Mythical Rank Experts seem to have some sort of mastery in order to conceal their light, so it's pretty hard for you to find them.

"Of course, you can still use your other senses. You can try sensing the Magic Power in the area… How about you try it? And focus that sense on me." Maya playfully gave Theo a challenge.

Theo closed his eyes and started sensing the power in the surroundings like how he located monsters around him.

To his surprise, he could feel the richness of Magic Power in the area. And it seemed to be concentrated in four spots. These four spots were themselves.

"I see."

"It seems you can feel it already. This is what differentiates Supreme Rank Experts from those below them. How about your Five Aspects?" Maya asked.

Agata and Ava listened to them from afar, knowing that this information was crucial.

"It's good… I mean, you should have seen the improvement." Theo pointed up, reminding her about the Death Avatar.

It wasn't the Death Avatar or Death Eyes. Instead, he was talking about how smooth and quick he formed the Magic Bullets and the magic spear.

This was enough for Maya to know there was a massive improvement in his Five Aspects.

"That's enough for now." She nodded with a serious expression. "You're going to train your Awareness later, so I guess this is fine."

"Yeah. You can peep at me all you want at that time. Legally…"

"Why did you make it sound lewd? Am I a pervert in your mind?" Maya squinted her eyes.

"Who was the one asking a question about my clone?" Theo made a cheeky smile, reminding her of one particular question she asked about his clone in Arkahan Volcano.

"…" Maya obviously remembered the question. She ultimately let out a long sigh. "Are you holding a grudge?"

'Yeah. There is a particular man that can't keep quiet about Metamorphosis and interspecies breeding because of that question…' He thought. However, he obviously couldn't say it because the conversation would turn in a weird direction.

He chuckled and said, "Haha, okay, let's stop. I won't talk about it again."

"Thanks." Maya nodded, satisfied. "Anyway, you need to get used to your current condition first."

"That's what I'm planning to do. Reaching the Supreme Rank seems to bring more benefits than I'd expected."

"So, are we going to return right now or go hunt some more monsters?"

"Let's go back to the hotel, so you can inform them about this place and immediately seal this area to prevent anyone from sneaking in. After that, let's go back. I'm planning to learn Awareness and Breathing Technique to consolidate my power."

"Okay. That's what I like to do too…" Maya smiled.
