Tung-!
Tung-!
Inside the sewer, where all the city’s sewage collects, the air is humid and the floor is always wet.
Even using black magic because of the old iron sieve in the middle of the road, the loud footsteps echoing throughout the sewer could not be hidden.
As a result, Alister and Hewitt, officers of the Kell Freedom and Independence Army, ran away as far as possible from Oliver’s side.
‘It doesn’t look like he’s just running away, but there’s something more waiting for him. What?’
Oliver concentrated his eyes and thought, examining the feelings of Alister and Hewitt.
Although they felt burdened by Oliver’s presence, they fled as if they had a chance.
reinforcements? Or, a trap?
Whatever it was, Oliver was happy.
That’s why they didn’t leave this place very much.
Even though he had read his emotions and determined the approximate location, he was only grateful to Oliver, who could not pursue it prematurely due to the complicated internal geography.
Parrrrr…Pak!
A centipede the size of two human fingers emerged from the flowing sewage and approached Oliver.
As soon as Oliver saw him, he killed the centipede with a quarterstaff.
The centipede struggled with the persistent vitality of surviving in the sewage and then slowly stopped.
A mixture of purple, green, and black oozes from under the quarterstaff who slammed the centipede’s head down.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No one taught him, but Oliver knew it was poison.Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not even natural poison, but poison from human hands.[Go back now.]
A voice was heard from somewhere.
A sound echoed from the corner wall turning in front.
A black magic circle was drawn on the wall with blood as a medium.
Able to transmit voice from a distance.
‘It just doesn’t seem like that’s all.’
Again, a voice came from the Black Magic Circle.
[Say it again. go back now If your life is not worth it.]
Oliver answered, paying attention to his eyes and looking around.
Because it was a place with high humidity and a lot of nutrients, countless living things were living there, including even the smallest insects.
And through the gap, some powerful beings with vitality were approaching.
‘The spider’s web has become more attached. A spider’s web mixed with faint magic.’
“I’m sorry, but I can’t. “Mr. Alistair”
A brief silence passed. It was a commotion.
[…are you risking your life for money?]
“Money is money, but it’s a promise. I’ve already told my co-workers who work with the brokers I’m dealing with that they’re going to pick you up.”
When he finished answering, instead of answering, a huge column of water spurted up from the bottom and something popped out.
A creature resembling a frog and a crocodile I had seen before, it stretched its dull red tongue and aimed at Oliver’s face.
Pak-!!
The polluting creature, a mixture of crocodiles and frogs, was faster, but fortunately, Oliver was faster.
Although it was only an intermittent difference, he lowered his body to avoid it just before the tongue touched, and he also swung his quarterstaff to tear his tongue in half.
“··········!!!”
The polluted creature tried to reenter the water with an indescribable scream.
The problem was that Oliver was a bit faster this time too.
Just before fully submerging, Oliver fired a bullet of hatred with his index finger, hitting him in the head.
📷 Puck!!
A hole the size of a fist was formed in the head of the giant beast, and pink flesh and a parasite-infested brain flowed out and floated away with the sewage.
Probably, it would be washed away into the great River Shem that crosses Landa.
But don’t be vigilant.
Alistair, who was attacking with a polluted creature tamed with black magic, felt like she was bewildered, but soon calmed down as if she had made up her mind.
was determined to fight.
-Ping!
Oliver bowed his head.
As before, a worm, a moderate mixture of mosquitoes and earwigs, hung from the ceiling and attacked Oliver with a needle on its tail.
Puck-!
The quarterstaff swung it down, smashing the bugs in dark green bodily fluids, followed by the sound of beast footsteps from the three passageways.
Judging by his excited emotional state and the sound of his footsteps, he seemed to be a tainted creature controlled by Alistair.
“That’s great. I know that mental manipulation is quite difficult.”
[Pretending to be nice.]
He answered with an unpleasant voice, as if he remembered that his polluted creature had been taken away.
After a while, I could see the polluting organisms coming from each passage.
A naked rat, a scaly dog, and a gigantic mole with a tentacle-like nose were running from three directions.
We dealt with a wide variety of contaminants, as stated in the documentation.
He used this talent to harass the kingdom army countless times…
‘So the bounty would be about 110 million.’
I had a question with him.
A net navigator capable of net sailing is said to be an important manpower, but I wondered if Hewitt had a higher bounty than Damon and Alistair combined.
And strangely, that wasn’t all.
Alister’s current emotional state was also questionable. Now he was trying to keep the magic hacker Hewitt more than just taking down Oliver.
He didn’t seem like this simply because he was a man of great talent. There seemed to be a more specific reason than that.
‘Well·····. Then why not use this right away?’
Ice magic was perfect to subdue the wet environment and the polluting creatures coming from three directions, but Oliver decided to save it for a more important situation.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the battle with Merlin, it’s that there is a limit to just firepower.
It was a precious fact I learned after being fooled by his ice clone magic many times.
The decisive thing should be used when it is decisive.
It’s not like there’s no other way.
[Brain Wash]
Oliver cast black magic on the polluted creature running to the right.
Because I felt like I could take control like before.
After taking it like that, I was planning to make it fight the polluting creature coming to the left to buy time, then rush to the center and chase after Alistair.
Considering the current situation, I would not be able to escape alone, so narrowing the distance was the priority even if I got lost a bit.
However, the plan was thwarted from the very beginning.
At the time when Oliver used black magic, the muscles of the polluted creatures swelled up, and the blood vessels grew excessively and their reason was blown away.
His eyes rolled over, his mouth foamed, and all that was left was his instinct to destroy.
I looked and saw that each contaminant was wearing a dog collar with a mixture of drug cans and injections around their necks.
Hopefully, this will stop the robbery.
It was another lesson learned.
‘That’s it and this is this. What should I do?’
Fortunately, the polluted creatures bit each other first, thanks to the drug blowing away even the least of their minds, but Oliver did not miss the timing and ran towards the polluted creature coming from the central passage.
Wearing a black suit, he was confident that he could withstand any physical attack and bacterial contamination.
‘But why didn’t you give them drugs?’
I soon found out why.
As if reading Oliver’s intentions, a huge mole with a tentacle-like nose came from the central aisle and suddenly exploded.
“·····ah!”
Oliver noticed at that moment. Putting a bomb on the mole’s body.
It wasn’t very powerful, but it did make the old sewer ceiling go down.
Dried bricks and dirt pouring down. Alistair said loudly.
[Praise your arrogance. Just fight crazy monsters. Your co-worker must have been killed by my co-worker anyway.]
“I do not know. They are also strong in their own way, so I don’t know.”
Oliver answered using a shadow tentacle.
The tentacles of shadows that stretched out in an instant stopped the collapsing ceiling for a moment.
It was only a temporary measure, but it was enough for Oliver in a black suit.
Pod–!
Concentrating the dark magic energy on his legs, he hit the floor, and at the same time, Oliver entered the gap held by his shadow tentacles.
A scarred and frantic polluting creature chased after them, but when the shadow tentacles were removed, they were prevented from entering by the collapsed ceiling debris, and only the sound of howling could be heard.
Kyaahya ━━!
I’m so supportive!!!
slap!!
Crumple!!
Kwak!
Take-! Take it!
Perhaps the energy of the drug was gone, the cry soon turned into a fighting sound.
It was just a simple feeling, but it seemed that they would soon perish as they fight each other.
Well, it’s not something Oliver should care about.
‘For now, we should focus on tomorrow.’
Oliver focused his attention on his eyes.
Let’s narrow the scope and focus even more in front of our eyes… A very thin spider web was visible.
I had a question.
It’s a spider’s web with magical powers.
Maybe there is a wizard? Even so, it was strange.
According to the data provided by Forrest, there were only three people who could use magic, and none of them used it this way.
‘ Above all else, it’s not a spider’s web made with magic. It’s a spider’s web with magic.’
Unsure, Oliver started walking.
Every time an invisible cobweb came into contact with Oliver, a small amount of it was smeared on his body.
It didn’t do much damage to the black suit, but it gradually accumulated on the body.

Nevertheless, Oliver was not vigilant, put his hand in his arms and secretly extracted magic power.iron puck.

Every time I walked on the wet floor, the cobwebs on my body increased, and I got closer to the polluting creature trainer Alister and the magic hacker Hewitt.
They didn’t run away. Instead, he calmly kept his seat with courage as if he had made up his mind.
Like a hunter who dug a trap.
Oliver approached them hoping that his prediction was correct.
Through a maze-like path that revolves around him, Oliver came to an end.
There were two men there.
“Are you Mr. Alister and Mr. Hewitt? I’m-“
“-Blast it!”
“Yes!”
A relatively older man shouted at a relatively younger man.
The boy, who appeared to be in his mid-teens, pulled something like a stick to light it.
Oliver’s shadow was swept away by the intense light and grew smaller and smaller.
“like·······.”
“Parker! Pull!”
With those words, the cobwebs on Oliver’s body were woven like a single rope, arresting Oliver in an instant.
Aww-!
With the sound of pulling the fabric strongly, Oliver’s body in a black suit floated in the air, and his arms were spread out like an ascetic.
“Well done. Parker!”
Oliver could see a being named Parker hanging from the ceiling.
It was a person’s name, but it wasn’t a person.
lobster? Message? ···spider? A huge monster with a shape that cannot be defined by anything.
Its tail rose like a scorpion, pulling out numerous spider webs, and next to its mouth were claws like crayfish instead of forelegs. No, I’d rather have a human hand. It was because the five-legged tongs blades were fast moving and threading.
Oliver thought, making eye contact with Parker’s eight eyes.
‘chimera? Contaminated creatures? Did you combine the two?’
Oliver thought and moved without realizing it.
The cunningly woven cobwebs bound Oliver like steel and did not let him go.
I tried to force it, but the black suit surprisingly couldn’t break the web. It was a very strong spider web.
“Are you surprised?”
The orange curly-haired man asked, grinding his teeth. His emotions were radiating with exhilaration, joy, and contentment.
“Honestly… yes, yes.”
Oliver said sincerely. As expected to some extent, the existence of those spiders and webs was quite surprising.
So much so that I want to study it.
“Are you a polluting organism? Are you a chimera?”
“You don’t know that. You look like a talented warlock, but this guy is a guy I’ve been raising since I was a kid, so even manipulation of your mind doesn’t work. Moreover, even your shadow can’t exert its power because of the light. You are done.”
When Alistair finished speaking, the giant spider that had pulled out the web and controlled Oliver’s restraints by controlling it with her tongs approached Oliver.
He grabbed Oliver’s face with his human-like tongs and tried to stab him with a huge stinger protruding from his tail.
Confident of victory, Alistair exclaimed excitedly.
“I can’t do anything with the emotions in your hands!”
“uh····. Isn’t that an emotion?”
With those words, Oliver spread the magic in his hand and gave it a spell to activate the magic.
Suitable for use in damp sewers.
[freeze]
An intense cold air spread in all directions along with the young chang, freezing the surroundings.
Cobwebs as sticky as steel and as tough as rubber are no exception, and those that lose their flexibility break as easily as lies.
Tuk-!
In the intense cold, a spider named Parker also clenched its legs and arms, went into hibernation and fell to the floor.
‘You should take care of that.’
“What are you doing, you bastard?”
-Puck! Tight!
Oliver swung his quarterstaff towards Alistair and Hewitt, stunning them.
As expected, his stamina was not good, so he rolled his eyes in one shot and passed out.
Oliver, who was watching the two fallen, said as if he remembered now.
“ah·····. I was going to ask what’s the reason for protecting Mr. Hewitt, but I forgot. Well, it doesn’t matter. First of all, let’s start.”
Oliver took Alistair, Hewitt, and Spider Parker with them.
