Chapter 1109 Test

Chapter 1109 Test　　'Cold and aloof?' Theo thought with a wry smile.

Little did he know, the woman that brought them to this place was the first examiner. If Theo could understand more about the painting and the one behind it, Jeffrey would openly show his interest.

On the contrary, most of the people here couldn't even understand the power behind that art. That was why they met the cold Jeffrey.

The woman was simply giving him the code. If the people understood, she would say, 'I've brought your guests.' But if the recruiters didn't understand the art, she would say, 'The guests have arrived.'

Of course, Theo wasn't aware of this simple test. But Theo certainly understood why there were times the recruiters would talk for a long time. Their powerful illusionist should have understood the power behind the art, making Jeffrey treat them nicely.

"Then, please excuse me." The woman politely bowed her head to them before closing the door.

"Thank you." Jeffrey waved his hand to the woman who always helped him. After that, he rose from his seat and said, "Please come in. You're coming here to talk about recruitment, right? I personally don't mind working for anyone as long as it benefits me."

"Something like money? But this place is huge, so you should have no trouble with money." Isaac looked around, finding the Magic Power around them.

"It seems that you can see it too." Jeffrey smiled at Isaac and said, "I'm wondering what kind of stuff can you see despite being a Supreme Rank Expert. Now that I think about it, there are two Supreme Rank Experts and one Mythical Rank Expert, yet, the ones that could see through my illusion power are the Supreme Rank Experts… You are truly abnormal."

"To be honest, I don't really like talking with people who can't even understand my art. So, I apologize in advance that I need…" Jeffrey grabbed his brush with white paint on its tip. He then made a few strokes to create a sketch of a tiger.

As soon as he finished, the palm-sized sketch expanded into a one-meter-tall white tiger. Of course, the tiger was lacking in detail because he only used the sketch, but it still let out a roar and leaped toward Felix. "…to test you."

"…" Felix furrowed his eyebrows and finally grabbed his sword's handle. Just by taking out the sword a little bit, the sunlight suddenly brightened the area, blinding everyone.

'Light?' Jeffrey squinted his eyes to withstand the light. At the same time, his hand was also moving, drawing something in the air.

The light lasted for two seconds before it completely vanished as if nothing had happened.

"This is… interesting." Jeffrey smirked.

"!!!" Isaac dropped his jaw to the ground as he saw the tiger getting cut into two when the light was blinding them. And the next thing he realized, Felix had already reached Jeffrey on the other side, placing his sword on Jeffrey's neck to threaten him.

However, the reason why Jeffrey wasn't afraid of someone visiting him was due to his extraordinary ability.

Within that split second, Jeffrey created a shield made of plants that swirled to each other, making it hard to cut. Even Felix's sword could only cut through half of them.

"Scary." Jeffrey smiled and continued, "Alright. I apologize for offending you again. Although you can't understand my ability, it seems that your strength is unique like mine."

Theo maintained his silence this whole time before shaking his head helplessly. He snapped his fingers while utilizing his Order.

"!!!" Jeffrey widened his eyes when he realized his illusion was shaken by that snap. He tried to maintain it, but after one second, the illusion disappeared.

Felix's sword would continue its way toward his neck, so Jeffrey had no choice other than to use all the paintings that covered this entire place.

Numerous vines emerged from the floor, the wall, and the ceiling. These vines surrounded Theo, Isaac, and Felix while stopping Felix's sword.

"Dayum, bro." Jeffrey was in utter shock. This was the first time a Supreme Rank Expert could actually influence his illusion. On top of that, Theo did it with a single snap of his fingers. "What did you do?"

"This is…." Isaac looked around, not afraid of the vines. Although their lives could be taken away at this instant, Isaac knew Theo did it for a reason. He must have calculated what the other person wished to do and used that power.

"Can we make up now? I was truly trying to test you. If that somehow offended you, I apologize… Come on, man. Chill." Jeffrey made a wry smile.

Theo narrowed his eyes, staring at Jeffrey for a few seconds before nodding to Felix.

After receiving Theo's order, Felix finally pulled his sword back and returned to Theo's side.

Jeffrey also did the same. He retracted his illusion as those vines began to retreat to the wall.

"Damn. This entire hall is like a domain." Isaac smiled, looking around at the painting. He didn't seem to be bothered by the tension in the air.

His action made Jeffrey scratch the back of his head, not knowing what to say about Isaac's behavior.

"Holy shit. What did you do earlier? I tried my best to maintain my power, but I couldn't do it. I could still feel the Magic Power, but I had no control over that ability anymore." Jeffrey asked, curious about what Theo did earlier.

'I've never thought it would take that long to dispel that illusion. It seems that his mastery of illusion has reached a high level… I don't know the full extent of his power, but he's worthy of holding an Order. That is if he has the knowledge.' Theo thought, assessing Jeffrey's ability. 'The higher their mastery, the harder it is for my Order to dispel it. That's why I know he's good.'

"You still felt the Magic Power? Now that I think about it, the Magic Power still remains in the air. Only the element that was removed." Isaac murmured while looking down, falling into deep thought. "Element… Affinity…"

"You can see Magic Power easily, boy? No, a normal Supreme Rank Expert can do something like that. Then, your eyes might be more special… To what extent can you see Magic Power?" Jeffrey asked Isaac, who ignored him because he was in deep thought.

Theo was the first one to break this tense atmosphere as he stated, "I see. So, that's how it is. You're interesting… To be honest, I don't have high expectations coming here, but I guess you pique my interest. Do you want to come with me?"
