God of Tricksters

After the Frost Saint left, the Dark King came to Theo. He couldn't help but ask excitedly. "Hey. What's that? Can you manipulate all elements? But aren't you supposed to have no affinity? Or have you fooled me this whole time?"

"Don't be rude." The Shadow King immediately pulled him back while furrowing her eyebrows. "It's clear that it's related to his Order. Do you know that the Order's power is a heavily guarded secret?"

Theo was surprised for a moment, reminding him of himself. He did the same thing when he saw Syk releasing that kind of slash.

After thinking for a moment, Theo said, "I can tell you a bit about it, but you also need to tell me about that slash."

The excitement on the Dark King's face was replaced by seriousness. Just like Theo, this one was his secret since it was one of his main abilities to defeat an enemy.

If Theo knew about this ability, his future spar with him would be greatly disadvantageous. Hence, it wasn't an easy decision for the Dark King.

Still, before the Shadow King interrupted their conversation, the Dark King surprisingly agreed. "Fine. Tell me about that power, and I will tell you about my power."

"We have a deal." Theo smirked as he raised his palm. "I will be first then."

The Dark King nodded with a serious expression.

Theo then pointed at the ground next to him and said, "How about spreading your power to that ground?"

The Dark King didn't know what he wanted, but he still complied, spreading his power to the ground and turning them black.

After that, Theo poured his Order and Magic Power, releasing them toward the black ground.

Suddenly, the black ground disappeared as if it had been purified.

"!!!" The Dark King widened his eyes in shock. "What? You can even remove my Covenant Seal? No, wait. I still feel the connection between the seal and the ground."

"I am simply removing your power, not the seal or anything else." Theo smiled.

"My power…" The Dark King squinted his eyes before muttering a specific power. "My element."

"That is correct." Theo nodded in agreement before raising his hand. "There is a fluctuation of Magic Power on my hand."

"Yes."

"A neutral one, the one without any affinity," Theo added.

"Indeed." The Dark King confirmed it.

"But it turns out the Magic Power without affinity doesn't exist on my palm. The one that exists turns out to be Magic Power with fire affinity."

The moment Theo said those words, a flame sparked on top of his palm. However, this fire was still in the very first stage, so it was small, weak, and felt nothing. If Theo understood more about fire, he could reinforce its power.

And this ability also allowed him to understand more things about his Order, specifically the next stage for his Reality Order. It was turning an illusion into reality.

If he could master this ability, Theo would take one big step on this stage because all the elements that he created with illusion would become a reality.

Even the Dark King could feel the current power in this ability. So, he thought for a moment and said, "It's a dangerous ability indeed."

"Right?" Theo smiled.

"What you did to the ground was simply the reverse ability."

"Yes." Theo nodded, confirming his doubt without giving more knowledge about the Reality Order.

"I see." The Dark King thought for a moment and raised his hand. "It's time for me then. My technique relies on a specific way to control the Magic Power movement."

"Mhm?" Theo narrowed his eyes. Since his Control was the best among his Five Aspects, Theo became even more excited about this technique.

"Yes. I have fought many humans too. From our fights, I learned that you could actually create anything with your Magic Power."

"Create anything with my Magic Power?" Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. He had done this the whole time, so he was wondering what he lacked to execute such an ability.

The Dark King didn't wait for too long before the Shadow King interrupted their conversation, saying, "It's the same thing as the killing intent you sent toward that human. You directly sent that power to your enemy's mind, right?"

"My killing intent?" Theo examined his ability again and asked, "I don't understand, sorry."

"Show me your killing intent then." The Dark King thought about using the killing intent to explain it better since Theo was already familiar with it.

Theo did what he was told, shocking the Dark King with his immense killing intent.

However, the Dark King remained calm and assessed Theo's power.

"Ah, I see. Yes, it's similar." The Dark King confirmed what the Shadow King said. "To put it simply, I am controlling the Magic Power around my sword, including the one in the environment."

"The one in the environment?" Theo was surprised for a second before asking, "Wait a minute. Are you talking about how I manipulate the Magic Power small enough to penetrate everything?"

"No. It's more like the color of the Magic Power."

"What do you mean?"

"You should be able to see the color of Magic Power that envelops this world, right?"

"Yes. They're blue." Theo confirmed his statement.

"Of course, it will be hard for us to see every single flow of Magic Power. That's why we usually filter them so that we don't see it… only from the living beings around us."

"Certainly."

"Then, by using that invisibility, I create an invisible sword made of Magic Power. If that guy actually looked at the flow of Magic Power carefully, he would be able to understand my power."

"Wait a minute…" Theo narrowed his eyes as though he had grasped the technique. "You are telling me that using your Control, you can manipulate the Magic Power in your surroundings, creating an invisible weapon. But because you don't concentrate enough power, the weapon won't manifest. Hence, the result is that powerful shock wave."

The Dark King nodded. "Something like that. For example, if you hit that tree over there and control the Magic Power around your sword, especially the one behind that tree, and launch it, you can easily get past the tree and hit everything behind it.

"Now imagine, if your opponent blocks your sword with their own weapon and you use this technique, it won't cut them, but the impact will be strong enough to startle or even hurt them. Depending on how good you are at controlling your Magic Power, you can basically slip past any defense.

"This is my technique. I call it, Heisk, Invisible Vortex."
