"Ah, okay."
The poison was expelled within that area. Whether it was the poison in their body or the poison in the air, none of them managed to escape Theo's Underworld Body.
"Wha—" The Poison King widened his eyes in shock, never expecting that someone would manage to expel his poison easily. It was supposed to be a poison that could kill Mythical Rank Experts easily, yet, Theo showed a skill beyond that.
Before his shock ended, the disguised Mark created a tornado on his palm, throwing all the people who were on the ground. They were shocked as well, so they were too late to react.
In the end, they were thrown away to the side as Theo shouted, "Just go away. You're just in my way if you stay here."
Still, as one would expect from the number 7th assassins in the world. The Phantom Archer, Ruth, didn't let this chance go. When those people were thrown into the air, she released several shots.
Her arrows targeted the people that the Poison Princess previously brought. They would just cause more problems if they let them live, so she tried to kill as many people as possible.
Ultimately, she managed to snipe five of them, leaving only three of them alive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErgene took this chance to use her power to go straight to them, killing two others. She was the one who figured out Theo's plan and had some clues about what he planned to do next, so she was the first one to react to this abnormality.
As soon as they landed on the ground, Ergene shouted, "Kill that one last man and leave this place if you want to stay alive!"
Remembering Theo's kindness, Ana immediately shouted, "Help them!"
Ergene, Ryo, and three Mythical Rank Experts from the Empress' Palace surrounded the last Mythical Rank enemy, ultimately killing them.
But before they felt relieved, Ergene kept shouting, "If you don't run right now, we won't go back to help you."
Mark immediately turned around and led Ergene, Ryo, and Nella back while leaving Theo and Ruth to remain in their position, planning to take on the Poison King for just a little longer to ensure their safety.
"I won't let them go!" The Poison King raised his hand and released a black gas from his sleeve.
Theo snapped his finger, removing the power from within that gas. In an instant, there was only Magic Power left in that gas.
"So, that's how it is." The Poison King narrowed his eyes. "It seems that you can remove my poison from the Magic Power. However, you underestimate what a Mythical Rank Expert can do!"
Suddenly, the Magic Power that was lingering in the air turned black again as if getting another supply of poison.
But this time, Theo could see the dark green Magic Power.
The gas now contained the Poison Order, so it would be impossible for him to remove it.
Theo channeled his Order Energy into his power, removing the poison again.
Attribute Removal.
But when he used this ability, the Order Energy was actually corroded by the poison.
'As expected, this is the clash between two Orders. I can remove the Poison Order, but the latter can corrode my own Order, making me unable to remove it. But…' Theo gritted his teeth, looking at the gas.
Even though his Reality Order managed to remove half of the poison before the Poison Order completely corroded it, the Poison King showed the might of a Mythical Rank Expert.
The moment the poison disappeared, the Mythical Rank Expert's ability to supply half of the energy of their attack from the environment revealed its might. The poison recovered in just a second as if nothing had happened before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Kh." Theo clicked his tongue. Ergene had told him about the advantage of a Mythical Rank Expert.
Unlike Supreme Rank Expert, the Mythical Rank Expert could use the Magic Power in the air to amplify their power. This was also why a Mythical Rank Expert excluded more Magic Power from their body and the reason why they couldn't pass the sea. The natural release of Magic Power affected a far larger area.
And due to this difference, Theo couldn't remove the poison completely, and even if he managed to do it, the poison would soon recover to its original state.
"Fifty percent more of my power… I see. It seems that you have already gained extensive knowledge about Order. I'd never thought that there'll be a time where I see a Supreme Rank King." The Poison King narrowed his eyes, stopping. It turned out his attacks earlier were just a way to measure Theo's power.
"Your understanding about Order is so deep that you can definitely crush a Mythical Rank Expert. It's just that you don't have enough resources to handle a Mythical Rank Expert like me who both have the characteristics of the Mythical Rank as well as Order.
"I wonder who your teacher is… To be able to learn Order this young, I don't know if your teacher is a bastard who reveals the existence of this power too early or a talented teacher who knows that you can withstand this kind of power. I'm more impressed that you can actually hide the different colors of Magic Power.
"Is it the Time God? No, I don't think so. What about the Sword Saint? He's helped you before and even entrusted his daughter to you. It seems that he's fond of you like that of a teacher." The Poison King kept mumbling to see whether Theo had a reaction or not.
Little did he know, he was just spouting all his speculations without a single speck of truth. The one who taught him Order was not human, but monsters, a Saint on top of that.
"Either way, you've ruined my plan and let them escape. What should I do to you?" The Poison King looked down on him as he started releasing all the Magic Power in the area, poisoning the entire place.
Theo took a deep breath and released his true Magic Power, the gold-colored Magic Power.
He looked at the Poison King, who seemed to be excited when he saw this Magic Power, and said, "You talk too much. If you want a fight, I'll give it to you."
