Chapter 157: Tracking (1/2)
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.
