God of Tricksters

Chapter 1683 Paths To Get Stronger

"…And that's how I killed a World Class Monster," Theo explained.

All the people who listened to him sucked a cold breath.

"The battle felt so hard." Millie, who didn't have much combat experience, commented. "It didn't look that way when you fought against the shark."

Felix patted her head and said, "That's because he has experienced killing one. After killing the scorpion, he considered his battle plans carefully and killed the shark that way."

"I see." Millie nodded in understanding.

"Though, I could feel that the shark wasn't as strong as the scorpion… Although the shark was at the same level, it felt like it could not utilize all his strength on the land. Though, I could kind of understand the reason," added Theo while recalling the battle.

"That must be because of its habitat. The shark is a sea creature, not a land creature. The shark will be able to move freely in the water, especially in the deep sea, where your movement will be slowed down because of the water pressure. There are also many reasons why we shouldn't fight them in their place…" Agata explained while glancing at Theo.

"Yeah. The current situation is a bit tricky. Because of the difference between water and land, we can't invade their place directly. In other words, they can attack us while we can't attack them. This is an advantage that everyone wants." Theo nodded in agreement.

"Is that the reason why Teacher dealt as much damage as possible to the sea creatures? You wanted them to become weak enough to start another battle anytime soon." Rea asked.

"Yeah." Theo confirmed her doubt without hesitation. "This way, the sea creatures won't attack us for at least a few years. By that time, I should be able to reach the level where they don't dare to fight me anymore…"

"What kind of level is that…" Rea narrowed her eyes before remembering Theo's ability. Theo was still able to utilize his system, meaning he was the only person in the world that could still level up. And with how he killed as many monsters as possible, his intention was clear. "Wait a minute… Teacher, what is your level?"

"My level?" Theo smirked. "It's 909 after the last battle."

"!!!" Rea gasped. He was 91 levels away from reaching the level no one had ever stepped on before. And because no one had the ability to use the system anymore, they thought no one in this world could level up again. That was why they thought Theo was in the same situation.

It turned out they were wrong. Theo was steadily increasing his level. Before they knew it, Theo would have reached level 1,000 and no one would be able to stop him anymore.

"After the last battle…" The people muttered as if trying to understand Rea's words. Some of them realized; some of them were confused.

Agata, who understood Theo's ability, asked, "By the way, can you access everyone's system?"

"I can only see them." Theo shook his head. "I can see everyone's level, name, skills, and status…"

Everyone sucked a cold breath, never expecting Theo to be able to do this the whole time. They finally understood why Theo could understand them so easily. He had all that information.

Before they said anything, Theo added, "Unfortunately, after getting disconnected from the system, you're unable to level up. And my power only allows me to rank up your skills, not your level or attributes.

"Well, I've tried many ways to do it, but it's still useless. From what I can see, there are a few ways to become stronger. The first one is practicing your Five Aspects. With all the information I've received from Isaac, it seems that your child will have Magic Power similar to their parents.

"In other words, the stronger the parents, the stronger they'll become. But unlike us who have to cultivate our Magic Power by raising our levels, the child will have that since birth.

"Hence, what we can do for future generations is teach them the Five Aspects so that they can utilize their extraordinary power. And Five Aspects shall become their foundation.

"Another way to get stronger is to eat herbs, but because our plants haven't mutated to the point they absorb a lot of Magic Power, I don't think we can get stronger this way, which brings us to the third way.

"Our skills can't be accessed by anyone else anymore. So, why don't we write everything we know about our skills and let others cultivate those skills? This way, people don't have to start from scratch. Instead, there will be books that allow them to learn skills.

"To put it simply, this is the exact opposite of what people are doing with Technique Aspect."

"Ah!" As the one who was the most knowledgeable about Technique, Rea understood his intention. "Technique is our way to utilize our power and make it a unique technique. On the other hand, if we decipher our own skill and record it, we can create a guide for our technique for the future generations or even the people in this generation to use."

"Exactly!" Theo nodded with a smile. "Of course, this is also the reason why I want to upgrade people's skill ranks. I'll have to ask them to write down all their experiences with their new technique and collect all of them into a database. Millie will work on the database together."

"Understood." Millie nodded.

"This is indeed a good idea." Agata approved his decision. It seemed Theo didn't only work on their current situation but also thought about the future generations. Of course, this was simply Theo preparing for his child in the future.

"Alright. I have told you everything I want. For now, I'm going to consolidate my power before making my move again." Theo stood up, planning to leave.

But before he left, Rea asked one last question. "Wait a moment, Teacher. I have a question."

"What is it?"

"You seemed to use a different set of skills when killing the two World Class Monsters. And I could say that the abilities you used to kill the scorpion were stronger. Why is that?"

Theo thought for a moment before smiling. He said while walking away, "You don't show your trump card easily."
