Chapter 367 - Most Important Aspect

Fwoosh.

Theo waved his spear like swinging a baseball club, hitting Fenrir's paw.

At that moment, Theo utilized his External Flow and Telekinesis to turn his spear into a hammer to generate an extraordinary smashing power.

Bam.

"Your strength and control are still too weak," shouted Fenrir and blew away Theo's spear. "No need to remember what you have been doing this whole time. It's time for you to break free from your habit to get this more versatile movement."

"Yes!" Theo replied aloud as he spun his body to generate centrifugal force and hit the paw with his fist.

Bam.

He barely stopped that paw before sensing another wave of Magic Bullets coming from the ground.

Theo instinctively jumped but realized another wave of Magic Bullets coming from above.

He ended up using his Elemental Shields to block the ones from above and below him. He ultimately used his Blink to get away after seeing an incoming paw from the opposite direction.

However, Fenrir followed him using the Blink and reappeared right before his eyes, hitting Theo with his paw and killing him again.

"That's how you used Blink's momentum. Momentum is not a bad thing if you utilize it properly," said Fenrir while glaring at the revived Theo.

"I am sorry." Theo apologized again and kept observing Fenrir's movement.

Before the fight restarted, Fenrir raised his paw. "Look at this… Don't be too fixated on your weapon for a certain skill. Most of them are versatile and can be used depending on your need. I will show you the example of your Cannon Blast.

"As long as you don't get fixated on using it with your spear, you can channel that energy to cover your hand or foot…" said Fenrir while covering his paw with Cannon Blast energy. He then hit the ground and said, "… to do something like this."

Bam.

The Cannon Blast touched the ground and turned the ground into a small crater. The residual energy generated shock waves in all directions.

"If you stomped the ground earlier, you could have destroyed the Magic Bullets that aimed at you from below. Of course, you needed a certain level of control to do that."

"I understand. I will reflect on my actions." Theo nodded with a serious expression. He had been impressed every time by Fenrir during the past thirty minutes. His movement and battle sense were beyond his imagination.

Fenrir had been showing the infinite possibilities of all his skills.

"I have been telling you that most skills are versatile. What do you think is the most important aspect of each skill that can bring out their fullest potential?" He asked.

Theo contemplated for a moment and said, "Versatility?"

"You are half correct." Fenrir shook his head. "In fact, any skill is versatile. Because this is not the most important thing to a skill. The most important thing is the user. Skill is weak if the user can't use it properly. Even an F Rank skill can kill you right now as long as I am the one using it.

"For example, what do you think about your former skill… What was it again? Haste?"

"Yes, Haste. The one that increased my speed." Theo nodded.

"Then I asked you… Have you ever thought about using it another way?"

"Another way? Other than increasing my speed?" Theo frowned.

"Of course, it's still to increase your speed."

Theo became even more confused before coming to a realization soon. He drew a gasp and looked at Fenrir. "You are telling me…"

"Yes. It seems you are not that foolish." Fenrir sneered while looking away. "What if you use that Haste of yours to increase the speed of your hand instead of your foot? You can create a stronger momentum in each attack. If it's your body, it can make your body more agile.

"What you think about skill when you read the description is their main purpose. However, if you use them differently, their purposes can be greatly enhanced. You can even think about one skill being one Martial Art Style to create a few moves that can do almost everything."

Theo sucked a cold breath because he finally understood Fenrir's question. "The most important thing about skills is how we use them."

"That's right. I can't teach you anything about illusion, but I can offer you some pieces of advice. For example, instead of multiplying your Magic Bullets, why don't you multiply your Cannon Blast or Elemental Shields? It's the power of your Illusion Multiplier.

"The same applies to your Illusion Manipulation. You can make them think you have tens of Elemental Shields to block it while, in fact, you withstand that power by using only one. They can think they are powerful since those who think they are bound to win will leave a gap in their defense from time to time."

Theo closed his eyes, absorbing the knowledge he passed on.

"I have learned so much by coming here." Theo nodded and remembered a certain question. "It's an unrelated question, but… Now that I think about it, how do you even make a connection with me? I mean the trials and such. I have read many articles, but they say the same… It's random. However, you are bound to a certain system that works to the entire humanity, so I'm sure it's not that simple."

Fenrir shook his head helplessly. "If I tell you right now, it will break the system flow and you won't be able to receive it anymore. And I believe I'm not the one who should explain it to you since there is someone more qualified than me.

"You can raise your doubt and search for the answer yourself since I'm not going to forbid you just to increase your curiosity regarding this matter. I will only warn you if you wish to know the answer.

"The moment you get the answer, it will be the last time you can meet us. It's not certain, but you can say the probability is about 90 percent. That's why if you still want to proceed after knowing the risk, go ahead.

"Also, I want to say… You can rely on illusion, but you still need to increase your power. Only absolute power can create a reality. Tricks can remain as mere tricks. Unfortunately, this is the only thing I could say…" Fenrir harrumphed. "Let's continue your training for another hour. I still have one more thing to teach you after that."

"Yes."
