Chapter 770 - Four Factors
After thinking for a moment, Theo decided to share his experience with her. Her improvement should also increase the chance of surviving in the wilderness, so there was no reason to keep something like this away from her.
She might even do something stupid just to satisfy her curiosity, so Theo believed talking to her would be the best approach. And unlike anyone else, Agata was still learning from him, so there was no problem teaching her.
"Well, did you see what I did?" Theo asked.
"More or less."
"In that case, let me hear your thoughts first."
"First of all, you chose to attack the magma demon right after Ava blocked his arrow. This way, he had no time to draw another arrow… the powerful one. In the end, he used the normal arrow and shot you.
"You used Blink to pass through while using his clone to push this Cubicar away with Telekinesis.
"Then, you utilized your illusion… Illusion Manipulation… I'm not very sure about this one. Anyway, you somehow cut him with this Illusion Manipulation and made the monster believe it.
"I learned that you were actually making your own reality. However, I couldn't understand the concept."
Theo looked down, contemplating for a moment. "Alright. You're correct with the timing stuff. As for the illusion, yes, I'm using my Illusion Manipulation.
"Supreme Rank Monsters can see and sense our Magic Power, right?"
"Yes. That's what confused me. I don't know how you could make him believe something like that."
"There is a catch here." Theo raised his finger and waved it down.
Suddenly, Agata's hand was separated from her body and stayed afloat next to it.
"Aaahhh!" Agata screamed in pain as her face became pale. She thought this was an illusion, but the pain and the loss of control of her entire hand felt real.
"Alright. I'm sorry." Theo waved his hand, canceling his illusion. "To be honest, it's better for you to feel it yourself."
"Ha… Ha…" Her panting voice started to echo inside the Cubicar.
"You should feel the pain and lose control of your hand, right?" Theo asked for confirmation.
"Y-yes. But can you warn me a bit?"
"As I said, I'm sorry. It's better this way." Theo scratched the back of his head. "Your brain didn't prepare for it, so the reaction and feel looked more realistic."
Agata took a deep breath to calm her down and said, "I still don't understand."
"If you were a Supreme Rank Expert, you would be able to sense your Magic Power and realize it was just an illusion. However, it was different if I set everything as reality.
"First of all, I cast an illusion into your head, making you think this was the reality. How? By destroying your most brittle part… For the magma monster, his bow.

"However, that alone was an illusion. I made his brain think I'd cut his bow by sending a wave of Magic Power to the bow. And you should have sensed that pain, right? This was the second trick. You needed something to manipulate their senses, whether it was real or not.

"After that, I kept sending more Magic Power into those parts like the monster's arm and body. The reason why I kept them looking afloat next to you was to make them think I cut it while maintaining that chunk of Magic Power.
"Removing his hand would mean erasing that chunk of Magic Power, resulting in him realizing something was wrong and my entire illusion getting disrupted. In this case, I didn't need to erase that Magic Power, which was good for me.
"Anyway, there are four major points you need to know to create this. They are Magic Power, Senses, and your opponent's brain."
Agata frowned and said, "That's three. What's the fourth?"
Theo smiled, recalling what the God of Mischief told him earlier.
[Depending on your target, you will also need to cast the illusion to yourself.]
Because the magma monster had witnessed all his power, it was necessary to act like he was someone else. So, he cast that illusion into himself, thinking he was someone else.
"Your brain." Theo smirked. "If you didn't believe it was real, then it wouldn't be real."
"Ehm…" Agata tilted her head in confusion.
"I'm not very sure about this, but I'll keep these four in my mind." Agata nodded with a serious expression. "Magic Power, Senses, and their brains."
She looked down and sighed, knowing that everything would change the moment she reached Supreme Rank Monsters.
In fact, if the six people she defeated right after leaving the gate were Supreme Rank Experts, she wouldn't be able to do anything other than relying on her pink smoke to create a weapon.
"Well, take your time. First, improve your Control, Awareness, and Illusion Ability."
"I understand. I'll work on them." She nodded with a serious expression, determined to become far stronger in the illusion section.
"Alright. That's all I can say." Theo waved his hand and summoned his clone. "Let me take over. We should leave the forest area soon, right?"
"Yes. Approximately in three minutes." Agata confirmed. "It was truly a hectic day. Not only did we need to stop our hunt in this area, but we almost died because of this unknown variable."
"Ahaha, do you hate it and want to blame someone?" Theo made a gentle smile.
"Not really. They're an unknown factor for a reason. Instead of getting angry at someone, it's better to think about our next course. For now, Maya should have leveled up a few times. Her level might even surpass me because of the number of monsters she killed during the escape.
"So, I believe both of us can reach Supreme Rank in the next destination if we take a detour. Should we take one?"
Theo thought for a moment. "I'll talk with Maya about this."
"Alright."
Theo then relaxed next to the bed while closing his eyes. Although he had told her the factors to create something like that, his skill was still the biggest factor in turning the illusion into reality.
And he was going to review his own performance, making sure he would do everything right next time.
