God of Tricksters

Chapter 1590 Theo's Group

Meanwhile, Theo and Rea were standing without doing anything after giving that instruction.

They might be the least excited among the other groups.

After gaining all this strength, Theo knew he had to place a limit on his power to avoid destroying something he shouldn't. A power too great might be the cause of one's destruction after all.

Of course, unless a real threat appeared, Theo didn't mind sealing a bit of his power.

Meanwhile, Rea raised her sword. Before making her move, she explained, "My power comes from the Mythical Beasts in mythology. Of course, my current knowledge is limited to Japan's Mythology.

"At first, I thought that I should expand my knowledge to other mythologies as well, but I have realized that I should focus on one. There is a reason to do so.

"First of all, I'm good at it, so I know what they can do when I summon them. On the other hand, these Mythical Creatures alone are enough to give a lot of options for my ability.

"However, I'm thinking about something that suits me more… I've come to this conclusion during your last seclusion.

"It's a kind of enlightenment, but I feel like I know my own path. Please watch this." Rea raised her sword while gathering her Magic Power on her sword.

Suddenly, she stabbed the ground while conjuring her power.

*Grumble!*

*Grumble!*

The ground began to crack as if something big was moving underground. The monsters also seemed disturbed by the movement and started approaching the area.

They roared and charged at them when they found Theo and Rea standing in the epicenter.

It was at this moment Rea released all her strength and summoned a huge turtle from the ground.

Theo and Rea turned out to be standing on top of this monster.

The sudden emergence of the turtle startled the monsters in the area. However, the turtle wasn't the only one that came out of the ground.

A snake also wrapped the turtle's body while letting out a cry to the monsters

*Shaaa!*

The snake moved around and swallowed the small monsters in an instant, digesting them in its body.

"It's said that Genbu has the power to travel between the lands of the living and the dead. The tortoise itself is a symbol of longevity and immortality, while the snake is a symbol of reproduction and multiplication.

"That's why…" Rea paused as she controlled this creature.

An aura erupted from the tortoise, fueling the snake. The snake then spat all the monsters back out.

Surprisingly, all the monsters had been digested and turned into smaller snakes. These snakes started attacking the rest of the monsters.

The latter tried to fight back by killing the snakes, but the aura of immortality and longevity that Genbu had somehow revitalized the snakes.

In the end, the snakes massacred all the monsters in the area.

Rea let out a breath of relief and asked, "What do you think, Theo?"

"It's a good technique." Theo smiled. "How about other mythical creatures? For example, Kitsune or Kappa? How about Oni?"

Rea paused for a moment. Instead of giving the answer to Theo, she actually explained her thoughts about Genbu to show the concept of her creation. "Actually, the snakes are simply Magic Power that has been turned according to my techniques. The immortality aura that the tortoise spread is simply a way to supply Magic Power to those snakes. That's the principle of my power."

"I'm asking you, Rea. Give me the answer." Theo didn't buy her explanation. He could see that much with his Reality Eyes alone, so what he wanted to know was how Rea would replicate the others.

"That's…" Rea looked down. "I'm sorry. I don't know."

"What is your affinity?"

"I'm sure you already know about it… I don't have any affinity."

"Then, what is Magic Power to you?" Theo asked again.

"…" Rea fell silent, not having that answer. After all, Magic Power only acted as a medium for her. There was nothing special about Magic Power.

Theo snapped his finger and removed the creature she summoned, allowing them to land on the ground.

"For me, Magic Power is the connection."

"Connection?"

"Do you know my job?"

"Yes. It's Illusionist."

"That's right. Illusionist is my job and my foundation. And my Magic Power is actually the bridge connecting my job to other jobs." Theo took out his sword and poured his Magic Power into it before swinging his blade, releasing a sword strike that cut all the buildings. "See that? Is my sword strike good?"

"Yes. It's powerful."

"That's where you're wrong." Theo shook his head and snapped his finger again as the building suddenly glitched and returned to normal.

"Eh?"

"The illusion is my foundation and the Magic Power connected me to a Fighter, allowing me to impersonate a Fighter. At the end of the day, I'm an Illusionist. Whether that sword strike is something from a Fighter or an Illusionist, no one other than me knows. However, it's impossible to do it unless the Magic Power connects both of them."

Theo paused for a moment and retracted his sword. This time, Theo raised his hand and the destroyed ground was gradually restored.

"See this ground? Is this an illusion or is it me as a magician?"

"I… don't know." Rea couldn't answer it after what Theo had shown earlier.

Theo snapped his fingers, but this time, the ground didn't revert back, showing it had recovered.

"This is your ability as a magician?"

"Nope." Theo snapped his fingers and the ground crumbled again.

"So, it's the ability from your illusion." Rea nodded in understanding, only to find she was mistaken again because Theo snapped his fingers one more time, recovering the ground again.

"This… Are you playing with me?"

"No. The first snap is to show you I'm a magician, the second snap is to show you I'm an illusionist, and the third snap is to show you that you don't know who I am. Who am I? You can't describe me. Who are you? I can't describe you, but…" Theo pointed at him. "I know whether the ground has recovered or not because I can describe myself. How about you? Can you describe yourself?"

Rea fell silent and looked down, asking the question to herself. 'Who am I? Magic Power as connection… And my foundation lies in Magic Warrior because I was inspired by my father and brother.

'But later in my days, I gradually shifted to a summoner with the animal summoning ability, which evolved to the Mythical Creature summoning ability.

'No, wait. My foundation still lies in Magic Warrior… It's just that Magic Power connects me and allows me to impersonate a Summoner.

'And the immortality aura as well as the snake replication… It's the unknown that Theo is talking about. And what is that unknown? Is it a Magic Warrior or is it a Summoner… Or maybe is it something else?'

Rea looked down, falling into deep thought. This was a question that he had to answer herself since this was related to her foundation.

Theo shouldn't say anything more about it to make sure Rea's power was influenced by him. He had affected her enough by telling her that Magic Power was a connection.

Seeing Rea finding the answer, Theo smiled, knowing Rea was talented enough to overcome this hurdle.
