The condition was quite dangerous for Theo as their side didn't have much time before the skeletons swarmed them.
Even though they were not powered up by the Death Armor anymore, their number was still numerous. As expected from a witch.
Theo took a deep breath while staring at the spear skeleton before him. He knew he should finish this fight as soon as possible, but he couldn't use his trump card, the Ascension Step, because of the ceiling.
His heart was beating rapidly even though his mind was calm, searching for the plan to deal with the skeleton as soon as possible.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
'I guess this is the only way…' Theo took a deep breath and prepared his heart and mind.
Suddenly, the Magic Power in the area fluctuated strongly, alarming everyone as the wind brushed their skin.
"?!" Agata and the witch were the closest to him other than the spear skeleton, so they could feel the tremendous power coming from Theo.
"Time is up." Theo smirked.
A black-colored aura suddenly emerged from his body. "So, this is Death…"
The witch widened her eyes, immediately assuming that Theo had comprehended the power of Death because he managed to get the Death Armor.
"This is truly great…" Theo lifted his hand and said the same word as what the witch uttered earlier. "Rise."
Suddenly, multiple black holes appeared, followed by skeletons' arms. The skeletons dragged their bodies out of the holes.
"I wenty Skeletons?" The witch widened her eyes. "How did you do it? There should be no soul in this room other than those two…"
"Old woman. You've never understood anything about Death." Theo chuckled and waved his hand to the side. In that instant, a blue-colored blade appeared on the skeletons' hands.
The witch shivered as she looked at the cloth on his arm. "You… You have comprehended that power… That must be it…"
"Let me show you what Death is…" Theo released his killing intent and sent it straight to the witch.
The moment she felt the killing intent, her heart stopped for a split second before the world in her eyes changed.
The floor turned into a pool of blood.
"Eh?" The witch widened her eyes, shocked by what she saw. All the pillars inside the room were gone, and there was only darkness on the horizon instead of walls.
The ceiling disappeared. There was only a blood-red sky.
The chilling wind brushed her body, making her body shiver.
"Where is this?" She looked around, not understanding what was happening. "Is this Death?"
"It's just the edge of it." Theo's voice echoed in her ears.
She tried to look at Theo and found him standing not far from her.
"Even though I don't have full control over it yet… But it's truly a magnificent power…" Theo smiled and lifted his finger. "Since I can do something like this."
The witch didn't know what happened, but the next thing she realized, an excruciating pain jolted her mind as though her body was cut.
"Argh!" The witch dropped to her knees and clutched her chest. "What is this?"
The witch gritted her teeth. She felt her heart was grabbed by something.
"This… This is the power of Death?" The witch sucked a cold breath, never expecting the power to be this great.
Meanwhile, Agata was dumbstruck, not understanding what they were actually doing.
In her eyes, there was nothing changed. The room hadn't changed and the skeletons were nowhere to be seen. Theo suddenly acted like he was possessed by something, and he had been doing it like he was an evil lord or something.
On the other hand, the witch seemed to be affected by his words.
'Theo… Is he getting that kind of syndrome? Why does he suddenly act like that?' Agata's eyebrows twitched as she looked at the witch, not doing anything. 'Still, I think this is an illusion. What kind of illusion does he perform right now?'
She looked to the sides and noticed that the skeletons were still moving. Ava and Clone Theo were still fighting them like nothing happened.
'Can Theo produce something like this with his illusion? I know that his illusion level is far too good, but I don't think it has reached this level.' Agata thought.
However, Theo indeed manipulated the entire place.
He first used the skeletons and acted like an evil guy to make the witch believe he had understood a bit of the Death Order.
Then, he used his overwhelming killing intent that had been strengthened by his Awareness. As soon as the killing intent hit her, Theo transformed the world she saw with an illusion.
The place was none other than the realm where he was getting butchered by Hel's killing intent. He had been killed so many times that he could remember every sensation he felt and every detail he saw.
That was right. The one who played a big role in creating this illusion was none other than Hel. If she didn't kill him continuously, he wouldn't be able to replicate this place.
As for the skill he used to create this realm… it was Illusion Manipulation. He manipulated what the witch saw and also used this Illusion Manipulation to give the sensation of how it felt to be crushed. After all, he had experienced it all.
In other words, Theo had been utilizing what he had this whole time. Instead of being stuck on what he usually used, he became a bit more creative in using them. And he believed this was the God of Mischief's deed as he reminded him that he hadn't used the Illusion Manipulation to the fullest.
Of course, the Illusion Manipulation wasn't that omnipotence. Their environment was an enclosed space, making it easier for Theo to create all this.
If they were fighting in an open space, Theo couldn't create this place at all, considering his Illusion Manipulation couldn't be compared to Agata's Uerila Dimension.
Without a doubt, Theo's path to becoming an illusionist had been opened… And this was his first step to reach the true illusion.
