Chapter 117 - 117: Selling Weapons Part 1 (1/2)
After saying goodbye to them, he headed out and went into a nearby alley. When he saw that no one was around, and there were no surveillance cameras, Theo purchased an ability for 1,000,000 System Points. This ability could change his appearance, and it was called <Illusion of the Nine Heavens>.
As soon as he purchased it, information about the skill invaded his mind continuously. Although it cost a large number of Points, Theo didn't mind. He knew that it would be a handy ability to have, especially if he wanted to kill an enemy without being discovered.
Because this ability, <Illusion of the Nine Heavens>, was a potent power of illusion, it even managed to fool any cameras. Yet, Theo strongly believed that he could raise its level even further. He could even make a perfect illusion where other beings could not perceive what was real or fake.
After confirming all the skill information in his mind, Theo tried out the skill. As the True Mana flowed into various deep patterns in his body, it gradually changed how Theo appeared. He now looked like a Lion Demi-Human and appeared to be in his early thirties. He was wearing a slightly luxurious white outfit with a shaven beard and short orange hair.
The process was a bit complicated, but if you become familiar with its application, you would be able to transform in a short time. Once Theo could completely understand the proper usage, it would become a nearly instantaneous transition.
After that, he started walking back toward the Weapon Shop. Although the level of this illusion ability was currently at a very low level, it was enough to easily deceive those in the Higher Student Kingdom. While the Apprentice Magi…
Theo wasn't so confident anymore. Still, he knew there weren't that many beings on this level walking around, so he wasn't too worried about anyone discovering him.
After walking all the way back to the Weapon Shop, Theo walked into the store, pretending to be a totally different person. He even changed his voice, using his <Voice Change> ability.
”Welcome!”
The moment he entered the store, he was greeted by the girls. They were very well dressed in light blue knee-length dresses. They looked charming in this outfit. Theo, of course, had seen it before, but as he was impersonating someone else, he pretended to be enchanted and as if for the first time seeing them.
”That…? Why do I feel my cultivation being restricted?” Theo pretends not to know and asked.
Nanda bent towards him and said with a warm smile and explained, ”Sorry about that, but it's something that the Shopkeeper found best to do. With this effect active, no one can use their Mana above the Student Kingdom. This way, nobody can easily cause problems in the store.”
Placing his hand on his chin, he said, ”Ohh, I understand…”
Little Yui, who was not far away, began to look oddly in Theo's direction. For her, this person seemed very familiar, yes, it was as if she already knew him, but she had an excellent memory. But she couldn't remember why she thought he was familiar.
Of course, Theo caught Little Yui's penetrating gaze. He was a little unsure if she could figure out who he was or not… but soon he saw that despite her cute expression, she did nothing other than stare at him, trying to 'remember' where she knew him from…
