Chapter 468 - Eyes
Skill: Lightning Discharge (B)
Effect: Discharging a small amount of Electricity to boost the next skill's power by 20 percent.
Theo widened his eyes and drew a gasp. He was taken aback by what he found.
It was a notification filled with the same setup as the one from the Skill Card. In other words, he could see people's skills when they used them.
"Is this for real?" Theo muttered to himself. He simply couldn't believe it.
"Kyu?" Ava tilted her head in confusion, not understanding Theo's reaction. He seemed to be shocked, but more importantly, she felt Theo was a bit too excited about this.
Theo, on the contrary, began to think about the possibility of what this pair of eyes could do in the future. 'This is insane. I can see other people's skills? If I have the ability to upgrade other people's skills, I can use the money to upgrade my own skill.
'If I have the ability to copy skills, I will use it to my advantage. However, I think this one is beyond my imagination. Seeing someone's ability while we're fighting? These eyes are too powerful.
'I can see what kind of attack they are using and intercept their attacks accordingly. I can use my illusion, skills, or even the Five Aspects. The possibility of these eyes is just limitless. It also suits me very well.
'Maintaining the eyes will be a bit problematic, but I can work with it from time to time until I get used to the pain. After that, I can start fighting others to increase my reaction speeds to neutralize their skills. Ah, there are simply too many options in the future if I can master these eyes.'
Theo clenched his fists and shouted, "Yes!"
"Kyu?!" Ava came to him and asked him if something was wrong.
Theo lifted Ava up, pulled her into his embrace, and stroked her cheek with his own. "Ava, you are great. Thank you."
Ava couldn't understand Theo's current mental state because she didn't do anything special. Even so, watching him this happy was enough for her to forget about it and laugh together.
"Hahaha, this is great. Although I haven't seen the extent of this power, I can discover it bit by bit while getting used to it." Theo smirked.
"Ava, what do you want to eat today? Let's have a little party tonight."
"Kyu?!" Ava's eyes brightened as drool started coming out of the corner of her mouth. "Kyu!"
"Haha, we are going to order whatever." Theo chuckled and said, "We will continue for a bit, okay? After that, we can prepare for it."
"Kyu!"
The two continued to test Theo's upgraded eyes.
He never used his ability to observe other people back when they returned to Ark City because his mind was filled with the battle, Death Avatar Skill and Artifacts.
Now that he had confirmed his ability, Theo could start progressing even faster. He knew that it was hard to grasp the extent of one's skill, especially if they used Five Aspects, but he wished to challenge as many people as possible to perfect this ability.
Ava helped him the whole time and even fought him a couple of times. Theo was thankful that he could start making some adjustments to his eyes.
Although he couldn't progress that much, just getting used to seeing the notification that continuously popped out of nowhere made him happy because the eyes could detect all Ava's skills.
During the two weeks, Theo used his morning to increase his own Control and Awareness to prepare for the Underworld Dominion Skill, utilized the rest to fight Ava, mastering his Metamorphosis, and making some progress on his other Aspects.
He didn't know why, but after understanding Ava's skills and movements, he somehow noticed the extent of her own skill and learned how she controlled her own Magic Power.
Due to that observation, his Control progressed by leaps and bounds. He was already close to Master Level within these two weeks.
Even his Magic Bullets could change directions around forty times. As long as he reached fifty times, he was considered as having Master Level Control.
However, he had another worry during this training session. The worry didn't come from his training but from the offers to the other six countries.
There was no approach or whatsoever during the past few months.
With his birthday around the corner, he doubted the other countries planned to visit him at all, considering there was a chance that Theo was not in Thersland anymore.
He feared he only had one choice, which was to go to Italy and meet his family from his mother's side. Although he didn't really mind at this point, he still wanted to have a choice to pick.
His break was almost over, so Theo started preparing for another venture with disappointment.
Because he planned to reach level 350, his destination would be filled with level 350 to level 400 monsters.
He also needed to make sure the area wasn't that far from his brother's hideout.
After negotiating with Ava, Theo finally got to the location of his brother's hideout.
The place was indeed filled with level 400 to level 500 monsters. It was dangerous for Theo to go there, but he also promised Ava not to go there before reaching level 350.
Finally, two weeks had passed and Theo really needed to go for another expedition to reach Level 350, which was only 36 levels away from his current state.
Theo wished to get at least one level a day and reached his brother's place within one and a half months.
With half a month to spare, he had enough time to consider his choice later.
Surprisingly, he received a message in his Skylink. He thought the other countries wouldn't participate in nurturing him anymore for the slight chance he visited their country, but he was wrong.
There was still one more person who wished to meet him. Theo walked inside and picked up his Skylink to see the sender's name.
Maya Hamilton.
