One minute later.
[You killed a Squiddy Lamp.]
[EXP+120,400]
Theo floated on top of the giant squid's body that had fallen to the ground. There were several holes where blood continuously flowed out.
He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a smile on his face. The excitement had yet to leave his body because he truly saw the possibility of what Fenrir taught him could do in the future.
"I can fight at a higher level with this. Unfortunately, I don't know how much I can do within two weeks, considering I'm planning to reach Hero Rank after this." Theo paused for a moment. "Of course, the next place where I hunt will be a higher level area since I am confident that my power is enough right now."
Theo placed his hand on the squid's body and used his Telekinesis to bring the two cards dropped from this monster.
He then landed on the ground as Ava greeted him.
"Kyu!"
"I'm done, Ava. What do you think?"
Ava threw a few punches in the air before falling on his back as if she was defeated, telling Theo he had grown stronger.
Theo smiled and touched his shoulder. "Let's go."
Ava nodded and jumped on top of his shoulder as they returned to their camp.
"Anyway, I have gotten all the things I want from this expedition. I will rest and consolidate the new power I learned for two weeks before going to another one. You are with me, right?" Theo asked while checking his status.

"Kyu!" Ava nodded furiously, not wanting to be left behind whenever Theo went to this place.
Theo smiled and continued, "Anyway, I can level up once more on the way back since I'm not planning to deal with all the monsters on the way."
Theo looked at Ava and thought that Ava's appearance might also make him a bit different from the Joker Alea and the others knew, considering he would appear as a Summoner, not Magic Warrior or Illusionist.
There was a fighting style, but Fenrir just gave him an idea of how to conceal it.
As soon as Theo returned to the camp, they had lunch and started packing up, quickly leaving this place with all the loot they got.
It was slightly surprising to see more than a hundred Skill Cards and two hundred Material Cards in his possession.
However, this number was normal. He had killed more than two thousand monsters since the first time he ventured from Ark City after all.
While he was on the way to Ark City, many people talked about him, especially those who were influential enough.
…
In one of the Skyscrapers in Nesi City, the city where Theo lived, stood a man on the very top of the building, looking down on the scenery.
This building was the headquarters of one of the biggest organizations in Thersland, the Faerie Group. He managed to make this group one of the biggest groups in Thersland when he was just a mere 32 years old.
Without ambition, it wasn't possible. And that ambition of his could only be achieved if he got Theo under his wing. After all, not only would the group become even more prominent, but Theo would also become their strongest fighter in a few years.
Suddenly, another middle-aged man opened the door and entered the room.
"How is it?" He asked with a calm tone.
"It's hard for us to get his information, especially his address. No one has seen him either. We can only do one last thing, which is to gain the support of all the real estate companies to check his address." The middle-aged man said with a worried tone.
"Hmph. To think he would move from that place right after he returned to the country… Has anyone contacted him yet?"
"I don't think so. They should have the same difficulty as us right now. We have made a simple mission to visit our place for a talk in his personal mission, but his personal assistant refuses us."
"Don't mess with the temples. It's under the UN jurisdiction… We don't want to involve the government too." The leader thought for a moment and said, "For now, increase the reward. I'm sure he will agree to talk with ten million. At that time, we can force him into our contracts or he will lose his life."
"But that…" His assistant frowned. "This will enrage the government and citizens."
"We can still use drugs." The leader shrugged. "Anyway, I have several ways to force him into a contract. After that, he can't do anything… Besides, the government has stated that they won't do anything to him, including inviting him. So, we are good to go."
"But he may go to another country soon. I'm sure many countries are interested in him."
"Don't worry about it. The contract won't forbid him from visiting another country."
"That will just anger them. They may appear good outside, but they may assassinate us if we put him in this position."
"There is no guarantee that Theodore Griffith has accepted their offers. If not, he would have gone to them already like Laust Lange. His case is not the same as those third years too, since graduation is on the corner. Besides, he won't realize he has signed the contract until a few years later. It's better if another country nurtures him for me since I can reap such good fruit later." The middle-aged man shook his head. "I, Rolf Steen, will get him and rise to the very top of this country as soon as the current president leaves his seat. For that, I will obtain Theodore Griffith no matter what."
"This…" His assistant gulped down and sighed. "I understand. I will go to Fighter Temple to add the reward."
He sighed and left the room. His assistant opened his Skylink and shook his head helplessly, looking at his resignation letter. He had played with fire when he served as Rolf's assistant, but he didn't want to play with magma, so this task might be his last task. Of course, he also knew other groups' intentions too, but whether they could control Theodore Griffith or not would depend on their ability.
…
Meanwhile, In Vatican Palace, a woman sat on the chair with a troubled expression, asking the other woman who stood before her. "Are you sure you want to do this, Agata?"
