Chapter 7: Steam Sequence!
Both legs are locked by bloodthorn vines.
And his hunting blade was even blown away by a shot from the other party's shit luck.
Nelson, who had a buzzing head, had become a prisoner, but he just didn't accept it.
"What if...... He missed a little bit. ”
“…… I'll be able to complete the counter-kill! ”
"Damn luck!"
Nelson's dusty and nosebleed mouth muttered under his breath.
"Who sent you?"
Unlike the veteran refinement of the opponent's combat experience, the opponent's voice is very immature.
Nelson grinned.
Maybe he's strong, but he's just a kid after all.
"I just saw that you were young, so ...... I want to do it. ”
"This is all too common in the city-state of La Mor."
"Now, I lose, you can take anything valuable from me."
"Child, you are still young, don't go astray!"
Nelson recounted, half-miserably, half-admonished.
Tucker took a deep breath and rubbed his brow.
"I don't think you understand the seriousness of the matter."
Tucker raised his right hand.
The gesture sorcery "bullet tentacles" then activate.
"Bang!" A bang.
One of Nelson's ears exploded.
The pain spurred tears and snot on Nelson's cheeks, wailing on the ground.
Unlike the previous disguise, this time it was in its true colors.
A full minute passed.
The wailing gradually faded away.
Tucker's voice sounded steady.
"Bloodthorn vines aren't as fast and massive as vampire vines, though."
"But slow has the benefit of being slow."
"You can watch the bloodthorn vines suck your thighs dry."
"If your life intensity is high enough."
"You can even admire being sucked dry by the bloodthorn vines."
"I don't mind if you waste your time!"
"Another ......"
"Your Hidden Arrow is good, but it'll be mine soon."
Tucker's slow-paced words sent chills down Nelson's heart.
"He's found my Hidden Arrow!"
"How did you find out?"
"And he didn't get a step closer to me the whole time."
"Until now, he has been extremely wary of me."
"This guy is...... The Devil? ”
Nelson, whose throat was a little dry, finally shuddered.
"If I say it, spare my life."
Nelson just spoke.
"Bang!"
The gunfire ended, and Nelson's second ear exploded.
"You're not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"You don't have to."
"I'll waste a little more time investigating, but you...... Will linger on the death line for a long time. ”
Tucker's tone was as calm and calm as ever.
And Nelson, who had exploded in both ears, could no longer hear Tucker.
But now, he had deeply felt the horror and cruelty of this young demon.
To add insult to injury, when the second ear burst, the wizard used a third vine to wrap around his arm with a Hidden Arrow.
Now, he can't kill himself if he wants to.
Nelson, who wasn't hard-boned, felt his calves turn skinny.
He was quick to tell the truth what he knew.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Tucker looked at the looted hunter's corpse on the ground, and the belated "sheriff" in the distance.
Tucker unleashed the fire oil bomb with his hand.
The fire is on the corpse, when it burns violently.
Tucker is gone.
With the guidance of the firelight.
Two sheriffs, dressed in the official security uniforms of the Principality, soon appeared at the entrance to the alleyway.
The young sheriff, who had just taken office, saw that it was a corpse that was burned.
He hurriedly tried to go up and put out the flames.
"Someone wants to destroy the corpse."
A young sheriff who wants to maintain the justice that the city-state of the Tower of Lamore has, but not much.
But he was stopped by the old sheriff on the side.
"It's just that someone set off a small fire that doesn't matter."
The old sheriff said earnestly.
"But ......"
The young sheriff wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
I could only watch the corpses burn like this.
"What the hell!"
The old sheriff, with his neck shrunch, approached the burning corpse.
A pair of eyes scrutinized the flames and corpses.
"The flames are very powerful, they can ignite the extraordinary characteristics of a level 9 hunter, and at least they are also a first-order spellcaster."
"This fire can burn for a long time."
Glancing at the young sheriff, who was reluctant to approach, the old sheriff smiled.
"This ...... It is the city-state of the Tower of Lamor in the Land of Ashes, and the more you understand it, the longer you can live. ”
…………
Dichao area, in the residential corridor.
A cave tunnel that is not very wide.
The smell of decay and fishiness permeates it.
Occasionally, one or two figures can be seen, and they are all in a hurry shuttling through the tunnels of the crypt.
Inside a crypt hut.
Tucker took off his gray wizard's robes, leaking out the chain mail inside.
This is a safe crypt hut, and this is the only property left by Tucker's parents.
Through the surface window, Tucker looked out into the deserted aisle, thinking about the news that had been plucked out of the mouth of Nelson, the hunter.
The situation seems to be more complicated than Tucker expected.
"I don't know which evil god organization is using the city-state of Lamor as an ATM."
"The last time something like this happened, it's only been half a year."
"Don't they know about sustainability?"
"Even, this time, even a weak level 9 apprentice wizard like me won't let go."
"Let me develop steadily to level 100, and then send me to death...... Ahem...... Is it bad to come back to hunt me? ”
A mysterious organization that has made a deal with Nelson's local hunter gang.
Hunt wizards and obtain wizard sequence crystals.
It doesn't matter if it's a trainee wizard or a first-order wizard.
This is the message Tucker got from the hunter "Nelson".
And in return.
Tucker simply shot the head.
It was a shot without pain.
"Evil God Organization, local gangsters!"
These two forces, which were not uncommon in the city-state of La Mor Tower, were clearly not something that the current Tucker could provoke.
"A normal wizard promotion doesn't require additional wizard crystals to enhance your wizard framework."
"Since you need ......"
"That proves that it's not a simple promotion."
"Most likely - steam upgrade!"
Tucker's eyes condensed slightly.
Upgraded from an ordinary [Wizard] to a [Steam Wizard] with stronger overall strength and a very high potential ceiling.
It is the dream of all wizards in this era of steam transcendence.
This is also one of Tucker's pursuits.
In the current era of steam roaring.
[Steam Sequence], as an ascending sequence, has been profoundly changing, and even reshaping the world.
It can be said that [Steam Sequence] is the new era version of the answer!
"Judging from Nelson's explanation, this time, that mysterious organization is rich, extremely powerful, and menacing."
"It seems that you should be careful during this time."
"Even if I have S-class extraordinary talent, I'm just a trainee wizard."
"According to the previous plan, I will be promoted to the first rank first and improve my strength in an all-round way."
"The strength is strong enough to not be afraid of those evil god organizations and local gangs."
"To be able to survive in this turbulent and grotesque land of ashes!"
