Chapter 87: Used as Bait?

Although they were controlling their Mana to keep it from manifesting, their cultivation level was still high enough for the animals and Monsters near their path to avoid them, so their trip was very smooth.

At dusk. Theo said, “Shall we make camp and continue at dawn?”

They didn’t think Theo’s suggestion was wrong and so they nodded in response.

Soon after, dusk came, and the moon was highly visible and bright that night!

In the moonlight, Theo looked at all of them sitting beside him, and then thought this was a good time for him to pass the first part of the Spiritual Sense Technique: <Divine Heavenly Spirit Manual> to them.

“Shina, can you take care of the food? In the meantime, I want to give you a Spiritual Sense Technique for all of you.” Theo said.

“Sure, I can do that!” Shina replied.

Grinning, Theo said, “Let’s start with you, Yuki.” He gestured with his left hand to get her close to him.

Yuki promptly stood up and stepped in front of Theo.

“Close your eyes and focus! Let’s get started!” Theo said.

“Yes!” Yuki nodded, closing her eyes. Although her face had flushed a little, she was focused enough not to disturb Theo.

Seeing that she closed her eyes and was a little red, Theo couldn’t help but find her cute. He focused on what he had to do, putting his left hand on her head. Using his Divine Sense, he then passed the first part of the Spiritual Sense Technique: <Divine Spirit Manual Heavenly> to her.

The reason why Theo is not transferring the technique in its entirety is that it’s so big and complex. If he were to pass it entirely to her, he was not confident that his Divine Sense would long enough! Even though Theo was just going through the first part now, it wasn’t as if it would reduce the effectiveness of the technique, since he will provide the second part before they have fully processed the first.

“Done!” Theo exclaimed after almost an hour.

After that, he began transferring the technique to Little Yui. It also took almost an hour for him to pass the technique on to her.

“The food is ready! Theo, shall we eat before continuing?” Shina suggested.

“Well, sure, let’s eat!” He replied.

After having dinner, Theo began to pass the technique on this time to Shina. Then, almost an hour later, he had to meditate a little to regain some of his Divine Sense. He then resumed transferring the technique to Zaira and Zaika.

With a happy, satisfied smile on his face, Theo told them, “You can try interacting with the technique now. In the meantime, I’ll ensure that nothing bad happens.”

“Alright!” They nodded in response and sat on the floor and began to practice the technique.

Soon after, they started to understand Theo’s Spiritual Sense Technique. The moment they began to meditate using this technique… they felt as if minds had become completely clear!

They were even more amazed at how advanced this technique was. In such a short time, all of them felt that it was a significant step on the path of cultivation. Also, even their minds had become more enlightened about techniques such as attacks, movement, and cultivation, etc. Now they know why Divine Sense techniques were so rare and difficult to perform.

The next morning, they woke up early. Theo used <Clean> on their group and then left the Dimensional Room. They resumed their journey towards Ravena City.

“Huh? What happened, Theo?” Yuki asked as he noticed that Theo had stopped his steps. Soon she also felt many fluctuations of Mana coming toward them.

Theo looked at them, “A group of humans is coming and behind them is a huge group of birds!” He warned.

They nodded and soon they also noticed the group of humans and birds with their Divine Senses. Although not on par with Theo in terms of his abilities, they still managed to increase their Divine Sense yesterday. Consequently, they could feel their presence coming towards them.

Soon a group of 7 Humans was spotted. There were 3 girls between 17 and 18 years old, and the 4 others seemed to be boys also between 17 and 18.

The moment a messy short blue-haired Human saw Theo’s group, his face brightened up, and with a happy expression, he tells his group, “Didn’t I say I felt someone in that direction? Let’s use them as a distraction and get away from here!”

A young woman with long light brown hair was surprised by the words of the blue-haired boy, and she said, “No! We can’t do that!”

“Tsk! Why can’t we? It’s just Demi-Humans anyway! They are also made of bait. Besides, we need to run away, or we will all die!” The blue-haired young man exclaimed as he ran towards Theo and his group. The others nodded, not wanting to stay and die in this place.

Only the young woman who had spoken before and a sturdy human almost six feet tall with short black hair did not seem to agree with their decision.

Theo saw the level of these humans who were discussing using them as bait. He felt like laughing out loud at how stupid they were, but he was also surprised. The robust young man with short black hair and the young girl with light brown hair seemed to want to be left behind so they wouldn’t drag the others to their deaths.

These young humans were all wearing blue clothes, and due to that, Theo thought it was very likely that they were part of the same sect.

“Tsk! Screw both of you! If you want to stay and die with them… it’s your choice! We’re leaving!” The Young Human said and continued running without looking back past Theo’s group.

Of course, if Theo wanted to stop them from running away, it was effortless for him to do so, but he found the Birds that were almost upon them much more attractive than that. Yet, that doesn’t mean he would let them bait them and run away so smoothly.

“Zaira, Zaika, you go after those humans! As for what to do with them… I’ll let you decide!” Theo smiled, mischievously.
