God of Tricksters

Chapter 830 - Prediction

*Thud!*

Theo raised his eyebrows when the arrow penetrated his chest. There was an intense spike of pain jolting his body and mind. Yet, his expression didn't change afterward as though he did not need to endure it.

Greg was taken aback by Theo's lack of expression. He glanced at Maya whose reaction was pretty similar to him.

"Miss, are you not aware of this? Although the pain level is still at level 4, it's pretty painful, you know."

"I don't know. Even if it's me, I would have let out a small shrill because of the surprise." Maya frowned.

"What was your tolerance level, Miss?"

"I could only endure level 6."

"In that case, should we increase the pain level to that level since he can endure this one easily? The pain is a kind of pressure that forces him to avoid the arrow, thus accelerating his growth, so it should give him some effect…"

"Hmm." Maya pondered for a moment and shook her head. "No. The current progress is fine. We can gradually raise the pain level later."

"Okay." Greg nodded. "Still, he's handling quite well for someone who never tries this one. He's been hit once, but he can avoid the rest. We can increase it to level 6 soon."

"Well, it's not like you need to avoid all of them perfectly. Getting hit once every twenty objects should be enough for you to raise the level." Maya agreed with his decision. "Ask him then."

While they were discussing Theo's performance, the person in question was thinking, 'The arrows and snakes are emitting Magic Power because it's just an illusion. But… Have I followed her teaching so much that I forget what's the next stage of Awareness?'

If Control had three stages: Soft Control, Force Control, and Perfect Control, Awareness also had three stages. They were Vision Enhancement, Prediction Eyes, and Future Vision.

Even though the names were related to eyes, they were the result of five senses.

While avoiding all these arrows and snakes, he somehow came to a realization.

'Hmm… Vision Enhancement is a simple power-up of the senses. I've been doing it with Vision, Taste, and Hearing. What I need to increase right now are Smell and Touch.

'But it doesn't mean I can't break through to Prediction Eyes. Enrica seems to be able to predict others' movements. How?'

Theo's expression turned grim.

"We're going to raise the level again. Are you ready?"

Greg's voice suddenly resounded in the room, but there was no response from Theo as though he was completely entranced in avoiding all these snakes and arrows.

Theo had finally entered this level of focus again. In Thersland, he always came up with a good solution from how to deal with Alea, control the entire team, and so on.

A smirk couldn't help but appear on Theo's face. Yet, the person himself didn't realize the change of expression.

'My vision… allows me to look at my surroundings from a third person perspective.' Theo delved deeper into his consciousness and started changing his perspective. This was a skill that Theo had possessed since he always used it to sense the monsters in his surroundings.

'Good. Now that I can see all of them… I should move to my hearing.' Theo took a deep breath and concentrated his senses on his hearing. Although it was small, he could pick up the sound of their movements.

'With both Vision and Hearing, I can react the moment they come out… Then, I should continue in my Taste… The taste of Magic Power.'

Theo stuck out his tongue. Although it was faint, there was an energy fluctuation in the room when the bow or the snake appeared.

He knew that they would appear but had no way to track them because of the overwhelming Magic Power in the area.

In order to do that, there was one sense he needed to enhance.

'I see. Although I can't do much with this one, I've done the basics. Smelling the Magic Power shouldn't be a problem.' Theo calmly breathed in and sensed the movement of the Magic Power that flowed to his left.

He checked with his Taste again and located the bow's position. He confirmed it with his Vision and predicted it started drawing the arrow with his Hearing.

'Lastly, it's the Touch…' Theo clenched his fist and struck the arrow at perfect timing. Yet, when his brain was jolted by the pain, Theo felt something was wrong. 'What is this… There should be something else.'

'Touch…' Theo remembered when Hel showed her domain that was created by her Sense of Touch. 'Wait a minute. I shouldn't be able to use a domain right now.

'If that's the case, something smaller than a domain… Can't I just use it to envelop my body like how I cover the illusion to trick my enemies?' Theo frowned and started wrecking his brain. Suddenly, a thought came into his mind as Theo couldn't help but smile. 'Ah, I see. That's the case.

'Awareness is a cycle. First, I need to take a breath to understand the flow of the Magic Power with my Smell. Then, I confirm its existence with my Taste and locate it. Third, I use my Vision to confirm its location and action.

'Fourth, I will use my Hearing to predict when it moves and comes to me. Only then do I use my Touch to deliver the last blow. Using all five senses…

'To move one step ahead…' Theo suddenly spun his body and waved his hand upward. Unlike his previous action, this time, only his nail actually hit the arrow tip. With just a slight push, the arrow gently jumped into the air and fell to his other hand.

"What?!" Maya drew a gasp and took a step back, looking at Theo in horror.

Greg widened his eyes and glanced at Maya. "Miss… Has your friend achieved the Prediction Level?"

Theo wasn't aware of their shocks. He simply felt happy that he had found something to improve on.

"Haha. This is interesting!"
