Meanwhile, the witch was still trapped inside the illusion that only she could see.
Theo smirked and raised his hand before clutching it. "Right. How about if I crush your arm?"
"Aaarrrggghhh!" the witch screamed in pain. It was too much for the witch to maintain her sanity.
As expected from someone who was still inexperienced in this type of illusion, He still couldn't maintain the witch's state of mind.
Due to the power he had shown to her, the witch now had an unbearable desire to possess this power.
"That… power… is mine!" The witch shouted while jumping toward Theo, not caring about the price she had to pay as long as she could get it from him.
But in that instant, the illusion shattered like glasses, revealing that everything around them was still working like normal. It was only her who got affected by the illusion.
Theo smiled at her shocked face. He used that chance to pierce her head with his spear.
The witch somehow reached the tip of his spear and spun her body, barely avoiding it.
Theo didn't expect to kill her with this one chance, so he kicked her away.
When flying, Agata's smoke surrounded the witch and turned into spikes from all directions.
The witch tried to move around, but her arms, legs, and body were stabbed by the spikes. She couldn't escape from all of them.
"Gah!"
Theo smiled and forced the skeletons he summoned earlier to let go of their swords.
The swords then flew toward the witch and pierced her body before she could call her broom or pot.
"No!" The witch shouted with blood dripping all over her body. It turned out, the swords that the skeletons held this whole time were Theo's Magic Bullets.
Since the witch could only see Magic Power, she believed the skeletons and the swords indeed came from necromancy instead of illusion.
Theo smiled when he saw the killing notification. In that instant, the skeletons began to fall down.
The crackling sound was filling their ears, indicating the number of the skeletons. And their bodies soon disappeared without a trace.
"It's done." Theo sighed before getting another announcement.
[Purification is complete.]
[You've acquired 162 Free Attribute Points.]
'You're late.' Theo scratched the back of his head but didn't forget to thank her. 'Still, it's a great help. Thank you very much.'
[I did it as fast as possible. It's not that much though.]
'Not that much huh… 162 Points… That's basically 30 levels' worth of points. I guess this is how a Mythical Rank Expert increases the gap among them. They gather as many artifacts as they can to gain more attribute points.
'For example, if I can get a total of 1500 points right now, I'll have the power of a Mythical Rank Expert… I mean, only the attributes, not the actual strength and skill. I see. So, this is the gap that I need to surmount sooner or later.
'I thought the flower that I risked my life to get was expensive for a single flower. But if they can accumulate it like this, I can understand why they're so expensive. And the demand will still be high even with that price.'
Theo's expression became serious, knowing what he should do.
[Yeah. But make sure to get something with an Order in them. They have more energy than the rest. If we make a comparison, that flower will probably give around 30 points and it's freshly harvested while my Death Armor has been deteriorating for the past few thousand years.]
'Yeah, but your armor is made by dwarves, and it's your armor.'
[True, especially the second one.]
'…' Theo shook his head helplessly and saw Ava and Agata coming to him.
Before that, he checked his status first, wondering which ones he should add later.

'I'll decide when we're back.' Theo sighed and looked at Agata, "We're done here. I bet the skeletons are gone too."
"Yeah." Agata nodded. "So, what did you do earlier? Was it your illusion?"
"Yeah. Illusion Manipulation… Just say that I created a pseudo realm for that witch by using this room. I couldn't replicate what you did with your skill, but I could at least use it as a reference. Thank you for showing me your skill." Theo smirked.
Although Theo was teaching her most of the time, he also learned from anyone, including her. As long as the skill was something he could replicate and use, he would probably do it.
That was why he went overseas and accepted the spar with the Wind Emperor's grandchildren along with Ana and Alea. He intended to learn from them.
"I see. I'm glad that my skill can help you." She smiled, understanding what Theo had done earlier.
Suddenly, the loud one was back after seeing the numerous skeletons crumbling to the ground.
"Theo, we have a problem. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. I'm sure all the skeletons are dying because we've killed the witch, so we need to get away right now, or we'll be targeted by many." Maya returned to the room, panicked.
Theo and Agata stared at her with a poker face as though this didn't matter that much.
Theo even waved his hand and said, "Yeah, yeah. Calm down. We can't really hide it anyway."
"Huh?" Maya frowned. If Theo wanted it, he should be able to act like they didn't do anything to this place.
However, Theo simply pointed at the weapons he threw at the sword skeleton earlier. "We got those. You still need to pay me for finding this room and those weapons."
Maya turned around and looked at the numerous weapons.
"Oh… Oooh…" Maya looked down as though she realized there were too many weapons to hide from other people… And there was still the payment. "Can I pay in installment?"
