Both legs were entangled and locked by bloodthorn vines.
And his own hunting blade was shot away by the opponent's lucky shot.
Although Nelson, whose head was buzzing, had become a prisoner, he just refused to accept it.
"If...he misses just a little bit."
"...I can complete the counterattack!"
"Damn luck!"
Nelson's mouth stained with dust and nosebleeds muttered in a low voice.
"Who sent you here?"
Different from the other party's experienced and refined combat experience, the other party's voice was very childish.
Nelson grinned.
Maybe he is strong, but he is just a child after all.
"I just see that you are young, so... I want to have a go at it."
"This is too common in the city-state of Larmore."
"Now that I lose, you can take whatever valuables I have. "
My child, you are still young, don't go astray!"
Nelson said half-heartedly, half-admonition.
Tucker took a deep breath and rubbed his eyebrows.
"I think you haven't understood the seriousness of the matter."
Tucker raised his right hand.
The gesture witchcraft "Bullet Tentacle" is activated.
"Bang!"
One of Nelson's ears exploded.
The pain stimulated tears and snot to cover Nelson's cheeks as he fell to the ground and wailed.
Different from the previous disguise, this time he is acting in his true colors.
A full minute passed.
The wailing sound gradually weakened.
Tucker's voice sounded steadily.
"Although the bloodthorn vine is not as fast and large in sucking blood as the blood-sucking vine."
"But there are advantages to slowness."
"You can enjoy the process of the bloodthorn vine sucking your thighs dry."
"If Your life strength is high enough."
"You can even enjoy your body being sucked dry by the bloodthorn vines."
"I don't mind if you waste your time!"
"Besides..."
"Your sleeve arrows are very good, but It will be mine soon."
Tucker's slow and coherent words made Nelson feel chilly.
"He found my sleeve arrow!"
"How did he find it?"
"And he never got closer to me from the beginning to the end."
"Until now, he is still extremely wary of me."
"This guy is ...Devil?"
Nelson, whose throat was a little dry, finally felt a little scared.
"If I tell you, let me live."
Nelson just said.
"Bang!"
The gunfire ended, and Nelson's second ear exploded.
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"You don't have to say it."
"I will waste a little more time investigating, but you... will linger on the line of death for a long time."
Tucker's tone was as steady and calm as ever.
And Nelson, whose ears were blown out, could no longer hear Tucker's voice.
But now, he has deeply felt the terror and cruelty of this young demon.
Even more cruelly, when the second ear exploded, the wizard used the third vine to wrap around his arm with the sleeve arrow.
Now, he cannot commit suicide even if he wants to.
Nelson, who was not a strong-willed man, felt that his calves had turned into skin and bones.
He quickly told the truth as to what he knew.
...
a quarter of an hour later.
Tucker looked at the hunted corpses on the ground, as well as the belated arrival of the "sheriff" in the distance.
Tucker raised his hand and released the kerosene bomb.
When the fire is on the corpse, burning fiercely.
Tucker has disappeared.
With the guidance of fire.
Two police officers wearing the official security uniforms of the Principality soon appeared at the entrance of the alleyway.
The young sheriff, who had just taken office, saw corpses being burned.
He quickly wanted to go up and put out the flames.
"Someone wants to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces."
The young sheriff wanted to maintain the justice that the city-state of Larmore Tower had, but not much.
But he was stopped by the old sheriff on the side.
"Someone just started an insignificant fire."
The old sheriff said seriously.
"But..."
The young sheriff wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
He could only watch the body being burned like this.
"What the hell!"
The old sheriff shrank his neck and approached the burning corpse.
A pair of eyes carefully explored the flames and corpses.
"The flame is very powerful. It can ignite the extraordinary characteristics of a ninth-level hunter, who is at least a first-level spell caster."
"This fire can burn for a long time."
Glancing at the young sheriff who was reluctant to get close, the old sheriff chuckled. .
"This... is the city-state of Larmore Tower in the Land of Ashes. The more thoroughly you understand, the longer you can live."
...
Earth Nest area, in the residential corridor.
In a cave passage that is not too wide.
The smell of decay and fishy smell ran through it.
Occasionally, one or two figures can be seen, and they are all walking in a hurry in the underground tunnel.
In a crypt hut.
Tucker took off his gray wizard robe, revealing the chainmail underneath.
This is a relatively safe underground hut. This is the only property left to Tucker by "Tucker"'s parents.
Through the surface window, Tucker looked at the deserted corridor outside, thinking about the news he had pried out from Hunter Nelson.
The situation seemed more complicated than Tucker expected.
"I don't know which evil organization is using Lamore City State as a cash machine."
"The last time something like this happened was only half a year ago."
"Don't they know about sustainable development?"
"Even this time Even a weak level 9 trainee wizard like me will not be spared."
"Let me develop steadily to level 100, and then I will die... Ahem... Wouldn't it be better to hunt me again?"
A mysterious organization, related to the local area where Nelson is located The Hunter Gang reached an agreement.
Hunt wizards and obtain wizard sequence crystals.
It doesn't matter if you are a trainee wizard or a first-level wizard.
This is the information Tucker got from the hunter "Nelson".
And in return.
Tucker shot to the head very simply.
It's a painless shot.
"Evil God Organization, local gang!"
These two forces, which are not uncommon in the city-state of Larmore Tower, are obviously not something that Tucker can provoke now.
"Normal wizard promotion does not require additional wizard crystals to enhance one's wizard frame."
"Since it is needed..."
"That proves that this is not a simple promotion."
"The high probability is - steam promotion !"
Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.
Upgrade from an ordinary [Wizard] to a [Steam Wizard] with stronger overall strength and extremely high potential.
It is the dream of all wizards in this extraordinary age of steam.
This is also one of Tucker's pursuits.
In this age of steam roaring.
[Steam Sequence] As an upgrade sequence, it is already profoundly changing and even reshaping the world.
It can be said that [Steam Sequence] is the answer to the new era!
"Judging from Nelson's explanation, this time, the mysterious organization is rich, powerful, and menacing."
"It seems that I have to be careful during this time."
"Even if I have an S-level extraordinary talent, I am just a Just a trainee wizard."
"According to the previous plan, first advance to the first level and improve your strength in all aspects."
"You are strong enough so that you are not afraid of those evil organizations and local gangs."
"Only in this turbulent and weird ashes can you survive. Let's live on!"
