Theo finally stood in front of his door, bringing a huge back containing his tent, spices, two water bottles and two spears.
With his current strength, this kind of baggage wasn't a burden, but it certainly would restrict his battle movement a bit.
He intended to use his clone, but he needed to ensure that he had enough Magic Power. The clone itself might require a minuscule amount of Magic Power to maintain, but it would be a different case if he used it for a whole day.
At the same time, Theo didn't have his group, which meant he needed to use more Magic Power than he was supposed to.
After some considerations, Theo decided to carry it with his physical body alone and only made his clone carry it if there was a serious fight.
"Ava, let's go," Theo shouted.
"Kyu!" Ava hopped onto his shoulder before snuggling inside his shirt, trying to camouflage herself like a piece of baggage.
"You're going to fight too, you know."
"Kyu!" Ava puffed her cheek as if she became serious and told him to leave it to her.
When he was about to reach the door, Theo suddenly found a notification from his blessing.
[God of Mischief wants you to challenge the danger to prove that you are not a coward. Knowledge and preparation can turn reckless to well-planned.]
Trial: Complete 4 missions at the same time.
Reward: A Meeting with Fenrir.
"..." Theo's expression remained unchanged, but it certainly surprised him. He never thought that God of Mischief wanted him to complete something like this. Unlike the competition, this one requires him to put his life on the line.
But he was quite curious why the reward was a meeting with Fenrir. "Why him? Anyway, it's rare to find a trial like this, so I should complete it to the best of my ability. I have taken a look at this trial with all my abilities, but it seems this one is not a fake. I guess this is it."
With this trial in his mind, he finally put on his mask and hood and came out of his house, heading straight to the Teleportation Circle.
Nothing changed in Eike City, the place that held the Teleportation Circle. It was the same as his previous city.
However, Theo quickly recognized the difference between Art Beats Castle and Ark City when he entered the other side through this portal.
To his right were several government buildings such as military barracks and other organizations that ensured the safety of the city. He could even see a total of fifty soldiers running on the road toward him, training their bodies.
On the opposite side, he found many shops, including a large shopping mall and brothels. Considering this place was treated as international water, there weren't many rules restricting this place. In fact, had the military base refused to maintain the control, the condition would become even worse.
Still, he could see that this place was a kind of business district.
He had memorized the map of this city yesterday and next to the business district was supposed to be a place for hotels and inns.
This city had around fifty thousand people going and leaving every day, so he could understand why they needed to build a massive city like this.
He then raised his vision, finding a tall wall a mile from his current position. The blue-colored wall was built from Supreme Rank Materials, which cost the country several years of revenue.
But with all these businesses running around, the country should be able to recover it sooner or later. It was a worthy investment.
After observing enough, Theo finally entered the tram that would lead him to the south gate.
It took him five minutes to reach his destination.
As soon as he arrived, he lined up with the rest like how it was supposed to be.
When his turn came up, Theo handed him his Illusionist ID Card.
The soldier was a young man in his twenty. Looking at Theo's spears, he couldn't help but smile. "Good spears you have there. Is Theodore Griffith your idol too?"
This was the reason why Theo never bothered to change his spears, even though all people already recognized his spears. There were many imitations of his spears from those who idolized Theo, so he didn't need to bother to hide it.
"Too? He is also your idol?"
"Of course. He is the hope of this country. He is the perfect example from zero to hero and I admire his effort." The soldier nodded with a smile while inputting his data.
"Haha, indeed." Theo chuckled. "I wore this mask, so I can imagine I am him when fighting."
"Is that so? But are you alone? You are an Illusionist, right? Isn't it better for you to have a group with you? And you haven't even reached level 200. I am not looking down on your ability, but since I have met someone who idolizes the same person, I don't want you to die."
"It's fine." Theo shook his head. "I am not planning to go too far, so I can return here if something goes wrong. Besides, if it's not working, I will find a party."
"So, you just want to test it out?"
"Yeah." Theo nodded. He couldn't help but feel funny.
The soldier's reaction would certainly be funny if he took off his mask, but it was impossible since he had things more important than his reaction.
After a minute, the soldier handed back the Illusionist Card. "This is your card. I don't know your name, but let's talk like this if we meet again."
"Sure." Theo chuckled and put his card safely as he finally left Ark City.
He opened his Skylink and set his direction.
"Now that the course has been set, it's time for us to go. Are you ready, Ava?" Theo smiled and looked in the southeast direction.
"Kyu!" Ava let out a small answer to avoid anyone from hearing her voice.
As soon as Ava confirmed, Theo quickly marched forward with his right hand holding the spear.
