MIGHT AS WELL BE OP
Chapter 131: Futile

They all continued to persuade Anthony to tell them about the the impossible mission.

"Did you meet your family during the mission, since the mission took over a month I'm sure you met your family for at least a day"

Vivian asked Anthony as they discussed.

"Yes, I did. I haven't seen them in a while, so I had to at least drop by during the mission"

Anthony replied as he bought food and drinks from his system distributed them to everyone.

Bringer's eyes immediately lit up as he started devouring them instantly.

"With what you saw, would you advice us to take on an impossible mission"

Bryan asked a very important question that troubled him.

Although he is an S ranker now, he didn't know the rank he would be at two years from now.

He just wanted to hear Anthony's opinion on the matter.

"Well with your current cultivation you will surely die before you can even use your life saving artifact"

Bryan's eyes squinted as he didn't believe that at least he won't be able to escape.

But he didn't argue and kept quiet.

"You have to at least be faster than your opponents to even use a life saving treasures, but with your speed of cultivation, before even third year or even by then you can surely complete an impossible mission"

Anthony ended his reply with a smile.

Bryan nodded as he got a positive answer from Anthony.

He was at S rank right now, but the lowest requirement for even the lowest impossible mission was SSS rank.

He believed he could get to that rank before the third year or even during that time.

But as for Master rank, he wasn't so sure.

The Master rank has kept a lot of people at bay and unable to advance.

Although to him, with his talent it won't even pose a problem.

But his problem remained if he could get to the master rank or at least if his battle prowess could at least touch that realm by that time.

He saw the details of Anthony's mission.

A Master rank battle prowess was required, but the level wasn't specified, so he couldn't guess where Anthony's battle prowess stood.

But one thing was certain to him.

Anthony had enough power to fight a Master ranker.

Bryan sighed as his mind remained on this thought.

Anthony noticed Bryan's mood, he knew what was going through his head.

But he didn't comment.

Bryan was outrageous talented, Anthony was sure he could step into the Master rank before he graduated.

Rider spoke as he ate his food.

"Can you just tell us already"

Anthony smiled and replied.

"Why tell you when I could show you"

Everyone didn't seem to understand, but Anthony had no time to explain.

Anthony simply just snapped his fingers and the world seemed to bend.

Reality seemed to warp to his will as the surrounding changed instantly.

They were all immediately pulled into this new 'reality' created by Anthony as they all immediately landed in the restaurant Anthony met his teammates.

But Anthony wasn't bending reality or creating a new one, but rather he created a false one.

An illusion.

Anthony had pulled them all into an illusion.

Mike who already had a skill that could see through illusions was instantly alerted.

He thought this was one of Anthony's test and quickly tried to break away.

But it was futile.

Although he could see through illusions, he wasn't immune to them like Anthony was.

He could see through the illusion, he knew it was an illusion, but he couldn't break away from it.

Knowing you were in an illusion and breaking free were two different things.

Anthony's illusion wasn't simple like the one Mike encountered during the test.

His skill didn't transcend Anthony's illusion skills and control.

So although he gained a skill that enabled him to see through illusions, it wasn't at the extreme that bordered immunity.

As soon the illusion appeared in front of Vivian, her Ice Eyes instantly activated as everything froze under her gaze.

Her new reality seemed to pause and wait for her to decide if to break free or not.

It was simply up to her.

The illusion had no effect on her.

Even Evelyn's special eyes instantly saw through the illusion and seemed to wait for her response just like Vivian's.

Unlike Mike, both Vivian and Evelyn didn't need to train or anything nor was bordering anything.

They could just see through illusions with their eyes.

Anthony noticing that Vivian and Evelyn were in his illusion by choice due to their special eyes just smirked at them.

At the end of the day, illusion just wasn't about seeing or fooling people's eyes or sight.

There was more to illusion than that.

If that's all there was to illusion, people won't even bother learning or guarding against it.

Vivian's and Evelyn's frozen world suddenly seem to shudder as everywhere went dark for a moment.

Then suddenly the exact same reality appeared before them again.

But this time, their eyes became useless as it couldn't do anything.

They could could see their surroundings, but their eyes couldn't see.

To them it was a test, so they both instantly started struggling to break free.

The remaining seven subodinate like Clement, Arnold and the rest were still struggling to break free.

As for Bryan and the Storm brothers, they literally had no hope.

But Anthony wasn't here to test his subodinate.

His voice sounded in their minds.

"Focus, this is what happened during the mission, even if you can escape later, don't leave"

They all nodded their heads and focused on the Anthony that was sitting down and waiting for his teammates.

With their thought compartment skill, they could focus and develop a skill to counter Anthony's illusion at same time.

They all watched Anthony at same time as he greeted his teammates, then they started the mission.

The hordes of monsters they had to fight.

They saw Anthony constantly swinging his sword at the waves of beasts.

They saw Anthony replinish his mana, stamina with potions.

They also saw him heal his injuries.

He could have died countless times.

They saw him battle with everything he had until they got to City Q.

Then they delivered their goods, rested then returned while encountering almost no monsters on their way back.

Of course this scene was a fake.

There was no way Anthony was going to show Bryan and the Storm brother his real battle prowess at the moment unless the situation warrants it.

In the illusion, Anthony's battle prowess indeed stepped into the Master rank but not that much.

But to his subodinate that were watching, Anthony seemed too 'weak'

They knew something was wrong.

Suddenly the illusion seemed to move backwards like time was rewound for them.

They all got back to the first appearance of the wave and saw the way Anthony casted his Caesar spell.

Then the way he moved into casting the other spells in succession without caring about mana.

Then they smiled as they saw this.

This was their real master.

Not the one they saw earlier.

The scene fast forwarded to the Anthony's fight with Amos and the rest of the team.

Anthony didn't hide anything from them.

They saw him battle all of them alone and crush them without any effort.

Then they saw Anthony summoning his Primordial behemoth.

They were shocked to the core.

They saw Anthony made the world tremble.

In the real world, they too felt the fear of the world, but they didn't know what it was.

But now it was because of their Master.

Pride rose in their hearts.

Making the world tremble at your feet wasn't a small feat.

After dealing with Meek and the rest, the illusion ended there.

Anthony showed nothing more.
