God of Tricksters

Chapter 1531 Upgrading Skill

Theo shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright. Let's move on. Who should I ask again… Felix and Walker are in charge of the defense, right?"

"Yes." Felix and Walker nodded without hesitation.

"Tell me about our defense. By the way, who is scouting the area?"

"No one." Both of them shook their heads in unison.

"I see. Then, tell me about our defense."

"The defense is tight. There are a few people that are trying to rob us, but we have fended off all of them and made sure that no one will disturb us." Felix explained.

"We've got some information from them as well. It seems that there are multiple small bases around us. If it continues this way, they're going to be exterminated soon due to the extreme condition they're facing right now," added Walker.

"Extreme conditions?"

"They can use monsters as food, but the problem is the hierarchy as well as the vitamins. The people are trying to get some resources, so they're probably going to devour each other soon, creating a bigger base."

"As expected, it's going to be 'the strong will survive' situation." Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. "In that case, Felix will be in charge of scouting. I want you to locate all the bases and get me their information. Akbar will be helping you in the information gathering."

"Understood." Felix and Akbar agreed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Theo turned to Walker. "As for you… you're going to be the one patrolling our area, repelling anyone that will come close to this place. Well, I have begun creating the mist to hide this place, but I just want to make sure."

"OK."

"Alright. I'll ask questions to both of you first." Theo paused for a moment. "What is the A Rank Skill you think is the most necessary for your development?"

"Huh?" Everyone was confused because this kind of question was completely out of the norm. It was clear that everyone had lost their power system, so they didn't care much about their skills anymore. They could still use it, but that was all.

"Just answer my question." Theo sighed. "I can see that Walker seems to have two useful A Rank Skills: Sealing Chain and Unending Chain. Which one is better for you? Felix has three useful A Rank Skills: Blinding Light, Extreme Slash, and Sword of Light. The question is the same."

"!!!" Walker and Felix widened their eyes. No one should be able to see their Skills since the only person who could access their system was themselves. Hence, it was surprising that Theo could see through them that easily.

"What are you talking about, Theo?" Rea asked, confused.

However, Theo maintained his poker face and kept staring at those two, demanding the answer.

Walker decided to be the first one to answer. "I like the Sealing Chain skill."

"Alright." Theo took out Skill Cards from the suitcases he brought back with him and used his Telekinesis to place them in front of Walker. He then sacrificed all these Skill Cards to upgrade this skill.

Everyone was confused because they couldn't understand what had happened. Even Walker didn't feel anything. He furrowed his eyebrows, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Try using that ability." Theo smiled.

Walker tilted his head but still followed Theo's command. He made some distance from the others and raised his left hand. "Sealing Chain."

He purposely said the skill name to show that he was using the skill. Suddenly, the chains came out, not from his hands but from his back. The number was twenty.

"This is…" Walker dropped his jaw to the ground.

Everyone obviously didn't know this skill, so they were confused about why Walker looked so shocked.

"What… What have you done to my skill?" Walker asked with a dumbfounded expression. This was the first time he saw something this magical.

"Did you do something?" Rea couldn't contain her curiosity, so she decided to ask.

Theo simply shrugged and asked Walker. "So, what's the difference in your skill?"

"It's far stronger, the number itself is beyond my imagination. And I feel like these chains aren't restricted by people as well."

"That's your skill Sealing Chain, but that's not an A Rank Skill anymore. Instead, it's an S Rank Skill."

"What?!" The statement dumbstruck everyone because it meant Theo had the ability to upgrade other people's skills.

Theo maintained his poker face and said, "Why don't you try to capture someone? You'll find a difference."

Walker gulped down while Isaac volunteered. As a researcher, Isaac wanted to get involved as much as he could in this weird phenomenon after all.

When Walker captured Isaac with the chains, Theo said, "Try to use your Magic Power, Isaac."

"Eh?" Isaac blinked his eyes a few times. He tried to revolve his Magic Power but to no avail. "Can your skill seal someone's Magic Power?"

"No. My Sealing Chain can stop someone from using their skills, but not Magic Power itself. Wait a minute. Don't tell me, this is the ability of an S Rank Sealing Chain Skill?" Walker was shocked by the realization.

Theo nodded. "Yes. That's your new ability. I'm planning to upgrade Felix's skills as well since you two are in charge of the defense. At first, I was planning to upgrade the one who contributed the most, but I'm afraid we've to prioritize stability. Sorry, Jeff."

Jeff didn't feel anything. He was still too shocked by the fact that Theo could upgrade one's skill rank.

"So, you can upgrade someone's skill?"

"Yep." Theo nodded.

"Is this your new ability?"

"Nope. I have this ability from the start." Theo shook his head with a calm expression.

"Then, the reason your clone can… No, wait a minute. I seem to have misunderstood your ability a bit. It seems that you haven't changed much of your core skills." Rea pinched the bridge of her nose, finally understanding the secret of Theo's strength.

"Well, I upgraded my skills. My Clone Skill was formally an F Rank Skill. Now, it's S Rank Skill." Theo shrugged.

Everyone's heart thumped upon this revelation.
