Chapter 511 - Reunion
Chapter 511 – Reunion
After realizing the potential in his Materialization, Theo's hunt became more effective. He didn't even care whether the monsters attacked him together or not.
He refined his Materialization even more and kept using it at every chance, progressing his mastery by leaps and bounds.
The first problem with his Materialization was the excess energy. At first, he poured all the energy and formed a spear and thought it was the end.
He soon realized that at least half of the Magic Power he released couldn't be shaped properly.
It was clear what he needed to do. He practiced his Control like crazy while fighting the monsters.
The urgency of using his Magic Power forced Theo to become even more focused or he would be beaten up by the monsters.
This training was brutal because he could die at any moment. Luckily, his clone was helping him fend the monsters most of the time, allowing him to increase his proficiency.
But not everything went well… even after two weeks, Theo could only solve half of the excess energy, increasing the power contained in his attack to 75 percent.
This was enough for the time being since he also received another thing from this experience. It was his Control.
His Control increased drastically, allowing him to reach the Master Level Control. There were only Grandmaster Level and Perfect Control next.
However, he knew this level of Control was hard to break through, and Theo simply walked at his own pace.
This achievement also reminded him about Hel's words. She told him about the requirement of her technique she would teach him in the next meeting.
Now that he had stepped on Master Level Control, Theo began to train his Awareness as suggested.
Still, Theo was grateful for the Shadow Fox to provide him a safe shelter and this opportunity, albeit indirectly. The latter also didn't dare to accept his thanks because he didn't deserve it.
These were Theo's achievements after all.
Although he was supposed to stay in this place for one week, he couldn't help but spend half of his time practicing instead of hunting monsters, resulting in him staying twice as long.
Even the Shadow Fox understood his situation and waited for him patiently.
After two weeks, Theo finally returned to the canyon, carrying all his belongings.
To his surprise, there was a white rabbit sitting next to Asran, waiting for him.
Theo stepped on top of the cliff, looked at the white rabbit, and muttered, "Ava… No, you are…"
The white rabbit smiled and nodded. "It seems you have had a good time for the past two weeks."
Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Yes. I was lucky to have this opportunity."
"I ordered a few Supreme Rank Monsters to chase your pursuers away a few days ago so that no one could bother you."
"…" Theo widened his eyes and scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "Thank you."
"It's fine. I couldn't move away from Ava this whole time, so I guess I can do that much for you."
Theo smiled and was quite worried when she mentioned Ava. He looked around and saw no one beside them standing on the cliff.
"Ava is still in my place. She is sleeping right now after a long ten days of evolution. Though, I believe she's going to wake up pretty soon." Avarice added after seeing Theo's motion. "Whether she will continue to be your partner or not, it will be up to her."
"I don't know what they will think about Ava to be honest." Theo let out a long sigh.
"In this place, they may do something to her. But if you're going to another place, she should be fine." She shook her head. "Though you may want to study about your own system."
"I understand. I will surely study them carefully before making a decision." Theo's expression turned solemn.
"That's good. Although I have no way to check your level, I shall trust your words." Avarice smiled. "Now that you have reached the requirement, will you go to your brother right now? Or do you have any other plans?"
Theo remembered Ava's state, so he didn't think she had told Avarice about their plans. He then answered, "I have no other plan. I wish to meet my brother."
"I shall respect your wish." Avarice then turned to the west. "Your brother is in a forest three hours away from here. I will guide you there and accompany you until you finish your matter."
"Are you sure about this?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. "I am afraid this will be a long—"
Avarice shook her head. "Do you think I haven't met that guy? I have understood what kind of human he is, so I know this is going to end sooner than you thought."
"Is that so?" Theo made a weird smile. He couldn't rebuke what she said, thinking he might actually not know his brother's true nature because everything in his life had been a lie this whole time.
Hence, he wanted to seek the truth about all those lies now and paved his own road without relying on them. If not due to this resolution, Theo wouldn't want to meet his brother.
"Anyway, let's not waste any time." Avarice turned around.
"Yeah." Theo followed her.
Before leaving, Avarice turned to Asran. "Protect my daughter when I am away."
"Yes, my queen." Asran lowered his head politely.
After that, Theo and Avarice made their way toward Edward Griffith.
Unlike Ava, Avarice wasn't lazy and didn't rely on him to travel. She jumped from one place to another while slowing down, enough to make sure Theo could catch up.
Little did she know, Theo had difficulty following her even with his Flowmotion.
It took them three hours to finally reach a certain plain hidden inside a forest.
The plain had nothing other than green grass and one giant tree. However, Theo found a treehouse built on top of the tree.
It didn't have many features other than the roof and wall. The size itself was only three times Theo's rundown apartment.
As if sensing their presence, a blue-haired man suddenly opened the door and walked outside, looking at the two of them.
