Chapter 444 - Theo’s Progress

After leaving, Theo began to search for new monsters to fight.

With Ava listening to their surroundings, there was no way Theo would meet other people in the surrounding area, let alone when the military assembled most of them.

At night, he visited Phyrill and discussed all the information they received from the military.

According to the military, the monsters planned to create a big war within a week. Hence, they planned to strike them to keep them busy in three days.

Considering how aggressive they were, this plan should be enough to give them one more week, allowing the reinforcement to take over and kill the enemies.

Theo also introduced himself to Phyrill's group as he planned to join their group for a while. Phyrill also told the rest not to bother him so much. Their relationship was mostly partnership after all.

The Hilbert Family obviously knew how people like Theo worked. By hiding his face alone, he could create a mysterious persona. Whether it was a bluff or not, they wouldn't really look down on people they didn't know.

After all, the Hilbert Family had one ironclad rule. "Never mess with the unknown unless necessary."

Theo also learned that the experts around them came from poor families or orphans. They were raised by the family to become experts.

For them, the Hilbert Family had given them a life-saving grace by giving them a new life in their family and they wanted to repay the family by staying loyal to them.

Theo didn't say anything because there was also another term for this method. Brainwashing.

If they just poured all the kindness of the Hilbert Family into their hearts, Phyrill's family could make them loyal.

This was something he was a bit sensitive about as he needed to prevent himself from becoming like them when he moved to another country. After all, he wanted to live freely, not bound by ruthless rules like the Griffith Family or some sort of tradition.

He appreciated the fact Phyrill shared it with him as he understood what kind of morale he could expect from this group.

Phyrill also invited him to be the advisor of the group, but Theo rejected it, especially since he was a newcomer. His subordinates obviously wouldn't trust him easily, resulting in a disrupted chain of command.

Theo also talked with Ellen from time to time, knowing about her progress. Ellen was slightly surprised that Theo's level almost surpassed her. Though, she was happy for Theo because this just meant Theo kept improving at speed beyond her imagination.

After that, Theo slept in his own tent, talking with Ava.

…

Three days later.

Theo returned to the camp that night as he heard the leader was going to coordinate the fight.

Phyrill came to him, who was sitting alone to recover his Magic Power, asking, "Theo, come with me. There are limited people that will go there so as to make it more efficient. You're going there with me as my assistant."

Theo opened his eyes and nodded. "Okay, wait a minute."

"Sure." Phyrill nodded and turned around.

Theo, on the contrary, was thinking about the raid and Ava. 'I can't really get Ava's help during the raid, so Ava will be hiding in my bag for a few hours. I can't afford to let the military know Ava is the rare Moon Rabbit, especially since she has been with me for a long time. They may do something to snatch Ava.

'I do feel bad I can't bring her out, but I guess it's better safe than sorry.' Theo paused for a moment and opened his status.

Name: Theodore Griffith

Status: Hero

Level: 304

EXP: 564,121/751,580

Blessing: God of Mischief

Skill: Blink (B), Cannon Blast (C), Clone (B), Flowmotion (C), Illusion Manipulation (B), Illusion Multiplier (D), Magic Bullet (B), Metamorphosis (C), Telekinesis (B), Three Great Defense (C)

He had been focusing on his Magic Power this whole time, which he didn't regret. In fact, he enjoyed the feeling of using more skills without fear of exhaustion.

At first, he thought some of the B Rank Skills were quite a burden for his current power and planned to leave them at C Rank for a while. However, he soon realized this was just a preparation for him to reach Supreme Rank.

If he continued at this pace, he should be able to have all skills at B Rank even before reaching Supreme Rank. This was the foundation he made for Supreme Rank and his power would surely become far stronger than someone at the same level.

'Magic Power is a must, but I think I should change my Illusion Multiplier soon.' Theo pondered for a moment. Illusion Multiplier was a good skill and very versatile, but he believed it had reached its limit.

He thought about ranking it up, but he had been using it less and less with his current power. 'I need to have another illusion skill.'

Theo had a few plans in his mind, but it could only be achieved after he returned home.

After sorting out his thoughts, Theo rose from the ground and walked together with Phyrill to the gathering.

There were a total of ten people, including them, that seemed to be leading this group.

"He is my assistant. You don't mind him listening to the plan, right?" Phyrill introduced Theo nonchalantly.

One of the soldiers nodded and glanced to the side as another soldier walked to their group. This soldier had a small build compared to other soldiers, but his body emanated a powerful aura.

Theo's expression changed behind his mask as he observed the guy as if he was listening to him.

"The reason for all of you to be here is to follow my plan. We are going to launch an attack on Wolf City and create as much destruction as possible. This will buy us enough time for the reinforcement to arrive. Also, I will be handling their leader in case the latter comes out of his hiding spot…" The soldier pointed to the table where the map had been laid out. "Okay, this is the plan…"
