Chapter 157 - Tracking

He tidied up his belongings and put them all in his backpack. After confirming everything was in the bag, he rose from the ground and tried to call his Magic Bullet.

The Magic Power started gushing out of his body and gathered on top of his palm.

The same Magic Bullet appeared on his palm and something was wrong.

"Hmm.. There's no change in its appearance." Yes, the problem was there was no change in the Magic Bullet despite ranking up. Theo frowned and continued to split them into ten.

Due to his continuous training in both Force Control and Soft Control, he managed to do it in one try even though he felt it was harder than usual.

However, he started feeling the change when he aimed the Magic Bullet at the tree twenty feet away in front of him.

"Eh?!" Theo widened his eyes and looked at his Magic Bullet. It was a weird feeling. "This feeling.. Usually, I would point in a certain direction where the Magic Bullet would fly, but this time.. It feels like I can choose a specific target instead of a direction. At the same time, I can ignore that feeling and choose the previous way. Is this Tracking?"

After savoring and understanding the feeling, Theo ignored the feeling first to see what was wrong with his Magic Bullet.

The ten Magic Bullets flew toward the tree like how he had been using the skill this whole time. But the moment it hit the trunk, the Magic Bullet blasted it until nothing remained. The splinters flew in a fan-shaped area.

Without having anything to support the upper half, the tree dropped to the remaining bottom half before losing its balance, falling to the ground.

Bam.

It created a loud sound, but no one appeared in the area. This was a normal occurrence during the night. As long as it wasn't continuous, the team would leave them alone.

Theo assessed the Magic Bullet and looked down with his hand supporting his chin. "The power has increased. That's for sure. However, I am wondering what the tracking feature is?"

Without waiting, he quickly summoned another Magic Bullet. Instead of ignoring that feeling, he tried to focus on it.

Theo tried to think about the tree that just fell down to the ground and his consciousness got absorbed into it due to the skill's effect. He shot the tree and the Magic Bullet flew straight to the tree.

"Hmm.. Isn't this a normal Magic Bullet? Or is it only effective against a moving object?" Theo frowned and assessed his skill.

After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Magic Bullet again. He indeed focused his attention on the fallen tree, but he didn't aim it there immediately. Instead, he pointed his Magic Bullet to the side.

The Magic Bullets followed his path for a second before they curved and hit the log again.

Theo smiled in amazement as a feeling of excitement emerged in his heart. "This.. This is good. I feel like the skill is favoring me. If I use this skill together with my Illusion Multiplier, doesn't this mean I can create an attack from all directions before hitting the target with minimal effort? This can certainly cheat the Force Control for a while.. And I don't think many people can block all of them like this.

"To be honest, I don't know if this skill can follow a moving target or not, but this is a good start. I can check about it later. And I think I can add.." Theo drew a gasp before he changed his position.

This time, he positioned himself facing the fallen log. He didn't want to destroy another tree, so he planned to stick with the fallen log.

However, there was another tree standing between him and the fallen log. His plan was to add Force Control to avoid the tree before the Magic Bullets curved again with the help of the skill.

He took a deep breath and used the Magic Bullet again. Although he felt the Magic Power consumption increased by at least two folds, he didn't mind because this Magic Bullet just opened a huge door for him. There were many possibilities in this Magic Bullet he could discover, so he planned to use half of his Magic Power tonight since he could recover all of it in his sleep.

After summoning the Magic Bullet, he locked the fallen log again and shot the Magic Bullet. However, he inserted more Magic Power than he needed to the Magic Bullet at the same portion, forcing the Magic Bullet to curve to the left of the standing tree.

Due to the tracking effect of his Magic Bullet, the Magic Bullet ultimately curved again and created a half circle as if avoiding the standing tree.

Boom.

The Magic Bullet hit the tree and destroyed the log completely.

A smile appeared on Theo's face as he just thought of a bunch of strategies with his Magic Bullet, Blink, Clone, and Illusion Multiplier. He might be able to control the flow of the fight using the combination of these four.

At the same time, he planned to buy more E Rank Skills and upgrade them to D Rank Skills to be used for the competition. Just the thought of its potential alone made him feel so excited.

"This.. With this.. I should be able to reach the main stage and fight against the geniuses from other countries in Grand Gaia." Theo smirked and looked at the sky. "I will do my best to make it happen."

That night, Theo was so eager to practice his skills. The others didn't want to lose and had their own preparation for tomorrow.

Alea was swinging her sword around in a small place while closing her eyes as if she was fighting against an enemy of her own imagination.

Phyrill was jumping around from one place to another while using the trees to be his obstacle. He looked like a rabbit that couldn't be stopped by anything, but the terrifying thing from his training was his speed. He had been using his Lightning Step to increase his speed while avoiding these trees.

Meanwhile, Laust had similar training to Phyrill, but he jumped from one tree to another by using the skill he received from Radvils.

In the camp, Ellen was meditating to get a good grasp of her ability, while Sihan did some push-ups and sharpened his weapons.

All of them were busy with their own tasks, but all of them had their heads focused on tomorrow's objective.

Kill the mammoth!
