Potion of Halitosis & Floating Nose

Hey everyone, I have a quick scenario that has come up a couple of times while playing Munchkin with my friends. I have the potion of halitosis but someone else draws the floating nose and fights it. In previous games, I instantly used the potion to "kill" it and receive the level and treasure, but it has been brought to my attention that killing the nose that someone else is fighting with my potion does not give ME the level and treasure. In one case, I have gotten the winning level through this move.

My interpretation of the rules is that the killer of the monster gets the reward. In the event of a combat with a helper, why does the helper not get levels? I say that since the rules explicitly say that the helper does not get the levels, then that is sufficient to overrule the argument that the helper killed the monster with the other player. In the case of the potion, I think that this is one of the cards that the rules mention overrules the rules.
