Chapter 132

Oliver saw three men, three men in white gowns.

Blonde, Red-haired, and bald.

Given the mana flowing through their bodies, they did not appear to be ordinary employees of the Mattel Lab.

That much could be inferred from the attack that didn’t work.

“Trash?”

“Yes, trash. Trash that can’t use magic.”

“In other words, inferior species.”

The red-haired wizard created ice under his feet like Vine Shadow and tied Oliver’s feet.

It was pretty quick. The ice possessed mana, so it went beyond simply being cold and consumed Life-force.

While Oliver was stranded, the bald wizard turned his arms into steel, touched the wall, and increased the weight of his absorbing arm, which then hit Oliver.

BANG—————!!!!!

A steel arm struck Oliver, sending him flying across the hallway.

Oliver’s body felt a great deal of shock.

The red-haired wizard who saw the scene scolded the bald wizard.

“Hey, you ignorant punk. How can you hit him so hard?…. Even lab rats should be healthy.”

“Don’t worry… It didn’t pass out.”

The bald wizard pressed his hand into the steel floor as if he had noticed something.

As mana was added and controlled through magic, not through physical force, the hard iron floor bounced like flour dough and soared as if it were a pillar.

BAM

PUK!

The shadow of Oliver, who was sneaking up on them stealthily, was blocked when a huge steel wall rose.

It was pretty amazing as he was never blocked like this before.

In confusion, the red-haired wizard backed away.

“Bi*ch-! That’s cowardly.’’

“I’m sorry, everyone seems to be strong. …. I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

TADADADAT!

Oliver, who quickly ran and narrowed the distance, swung his quarterstaff and said.

The red-haired wizard quickly tried to defend it with his whole body which turned into ice armor, but it was not a problem.

It was a powerful magic, but Oliver was above in power, as he focused the energy into the quarterstaff.

BANG!

Something sprang quickly between Oliver and the red-haired wizard.

It was the blonde wizard, whose arms turned from human to beast and had a sword encrusted with mana on each arm.

“Uh, thank you.”

“You owe me one.”

While the red-haired wizard and blonde wizard talked, Oliver glanced around quickly.

As the red-haired wizard was trying to reorganize, the bald wizard was preparing to attack along with the blonde wizard who was exuding high-power mana and unreasonable amounts of Life-force.

While Oliver had no knowledge of magic, it felt out of the ordinary, and most of all– dangerous.

SHHHH

As Oliver backed away, he increased output on the leg area of his suit, accelerating as fast as he could.

However, he had no chance of escaping the attack.

The blonde wizard caught up with Oliver using the transformed beast’s legs, turned the sword into a spear, and attacked him.

BANG

A roar erupted as the magic spear and the quarterstaff covered with emotions collided.

“Oh-ho! The street trash is quite good!”

“You, too, Mr. Wizard. I heard that the wizards who lock themselves in the lab were weak

“We’re a little special!”

Uttering those words, the blonde wizard raised one hand and drew mana there.

It was an unusual attack, but Oliver was quicker.

“Minions.”

A little minion popped out of Oliver’s arms and shot [Hate bullet], which hit the mana that was collecting on the wizard’s hands.

BOOOOM

BOOOOOOOOOOM

The sky-blue mana exploded like a bomb, damaging the hand that was collecting it.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

The blonde wizard whose actions ceased for a brief moment shouted in pain.

Oliver did not let go of this timing and swung the quarterstaff as quickly as he could.

BAM

BAM

BAM

The sound of a blow resonated from three places.

The leg, shoulder, and hip were all broken.

However, the strangest part was that it felt like the response from each blow was as weird as before.

The muscles and bones were so dense they could not be compared to ordinary human muscles and bones.

SHHHH

As Oliver was about to deliver the finishing blow, ice filled the floor and crept closer to Oliver.

Ice with the same magic as before.

Oliver backed away. But this was a mistake.

[Icicle]

At great speed, pointed ice crystals flew in and struck Oliver.

Fortunately, thanks to the black suit, he was not directly damaged, but instead, the durability of the black suit was greatly reduced.

The instantaneous power was less compared to the lightning series magic, but it caused continuous damage like poison.

Whooooooooooooooooo!

BAM

In addition, a steel column suddenly popped out of the wall and hit Oliver from the side.

It pressed him like a bug and made it impossible to move.

CRACK!

Oliver felt a crack in the black suit.

Although he was already suffocating, the enemy seemed unsatisfied.

With a steel arm bigger than before, the bald wizard came running to hit Oliver.

“Let’s give up on catching it without damaging. We can treat it later anyway.”

As the blonde wizard and red-haired wizard agreed, the bald wizard focused his mana on the steel arm and prepared to swing it as hard as he could.

Oliver quickly rolled his head to figure out what to do in that brief moment.

The steel pillar that was pressing him, the steel arm that was approaching, the limited black suit

“Um…”

“Don’t die.”

Saying that, the bald wizard threw his steel fist at Oliver.

Oliver created five layers of shields while focusing the black suit’s energy on the area predicted to be hit.

CLACK.

Twisting his wrist, he moved the quarterstaff and touched the bald wizard’s chest.

[Las Bomb]

BANG————!!!!!

BOOM!

There was a loud explosion along with the sound of steel colliding.

Oliver flew back, and the bald wizard’s chest dented like a scoop of ice cream.

“Cough…”

The bald wizard knelt down and spat out blood.

He seemed to be in considerable pain, and so was Oliver.

He got bruises here and there as he flew back, with the black suit’s energy concentrated on the hitting area.

A realization struck Oliver at this moment about the need to exercise.

Although not to Joe’s level, he thought he could deal with most injuries.

‘Um, should I ask Joe? Or maybe the gym instructor? Um, what was his name? Um, I’m tired.’

Having not slept, Oliver felt a throbbing headache.

And because of this headache, his steps were shaky and his body was heavy.

TAK TAK TAK!

Seeing the bald wizard fall down, the blonde wizard ran fast, exuding anger, and increasing the output of mana.

“How dare a trashhhhhhh……!”

The blonde wizard left the bald wizard behind and ran straight at Oliver.

The amount of mana was so high that it spewed out of his body.

He swung his Magic spear, cut the steel column, and threw it at Oliver.

WOOOOOO

Seeing the cut steel column that came piercing the wind, Oliver once again armed himself with [Black suit].

This time, he spared no effort and put a lot of emotions into the five layers.

The whole body was covered in black, and black smoke was emitted from time to time.

In that state, Oliver swung the quarterstaff and hit the flying steel column back to his opponent.

The steel column flew back with a loud roar.

BANG!

The blonde wizard cut the steel column again and narrowed the distance with Oliver.

“Now!”

With the cry of the blonde wizard, before Oliver knew it, a spell was cast around him.

As if it were a special technique, Oliver was late to detect mana.

And that wasn’t the end.

SHUUUUUUUU

At the same time as the magic was activated, it absorbed moisture from the air and froze everything around it.

Floor, ceiling, wall, and Oliver.

Although not completely, pieces of ice crystals stuck all over Oliver’s body and continued to consume the energy of the black suit.

It wasn’t fatal, but it was annoying.

It constantly lowered his physical strength and froze his body with cold, limiting his movements.

Besides that, there were other bothersome things as well.

SWOOSH!

The blonde wizard approached Oliver at once and swung the spear.

Oliver dodged the spear as he tried to remove the ice.

In the meantime, the pieces of ice crystal that stuck to Oliver’s body grew bigger and became lumps.

Looking at it, it didn’t just consume Life-force, but also seemed to absorb some of the Life-force and grow.

‘Is this application black magic’

“Where are you looking?”

The blonde wizard shouted and swung the spear from left to right.

Thanks to the condensation of mana, the black suit was torn and Oliver’s chest was cut horizontally.

SLASH

Along with hot pain, red blood dripped on the floor.

The blonde wizard rotated his body and kicked Oliver in the chest with his beast legs.

BANG

A loud sound of hitting rang out and Oliver flew away and hit the wall again.

Oliver felt like he got hit a lot today, and maybe because of that, his head began to hurt more and more.

THROB. THROB.

“Haa…”

As he sighed tiredly, ice crystals wrapped around his body like mold.

Coldness from the ice crystals penetrated the skin and reached the bones throughout the body.

“I guess we’re getting a response now.”

———BAM!

The blonde wizard turned the spear into a double sword and inserted one into Oliver’s thigh.

“Binding spell complete. Removal of mobility. Captured…… How’s Mark doing?”

“Uh… he’s okay. Will be fine if we treat him right away.”

The blonde wizard breathed a sigh of relief hearing what the red-haired wizard said.

It seemed like his true feelings, not pretense. They seemed to care for each other sincerely.

After the inspection, the blonde wizard looked at Oliver with anger and expectations of revenge.

“Ha… You really came?”

“Um… Do you know me?”

“Hahahaha. Do we look like fools? Do you think we can’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a leather mask?”

Oliver was silent, wondering if he was too complacent.

The frost on the wall began to cover Oliver’s body.

The black suit was getting thinner.

The blonde wizard laughed.

“Kukuku. We heard you have a screw loose, seems like it’s real. In the midst of all this, your expression is calm… It’s funny. It’s very funny.”

“I’m not good at changing my facial expressions. I couldn’t do it well even if I practiced.”

“Really?”

“Yes……and I apologize if you’re offended for making a fuss.”

The blonde wizard’s expression got worse and worse.

He wanted Oliver to be afraid and wanted him to beg for life, but when it didn’t happen, he was angry.

He exuded emotions of malice.

“Offended? Don’t worry. I’m rather happy. Honestly, do you know how worried I was when I thought you wouldn’t come? I’m so glad you came. It was worth the money to buy that orphan trash from that old trash.”

THROB.

Kent’s words crossed his mind.

They may have taken him to lure you.

It seemed to be true.

“Ummm…”

Oliver felt sleepy, and he was so tired that his headache got worse every second.

“Hey, knock him out. We need to treat Mark first.”

“Wait a minute. This trash bi*ch’s poker face is shaking little by little….. What? Did your conscience prick that the orphan trash got kidnapped because of you? Are you really a Warlock?”

“No, I just feel uncomfortable breaking my promise.”

“Promise? Are you slowly losing your mind because of the cold? Hey, untie this trash. I think he’s going to freeze to death.”

“Then make him faint first. That fu*ker is a rare case.”

“What are you worried about? I’m sure he’s covered in ice and doesn’t have the strength to lift his fingers.”

“Wha… Wha..t happe..ned to Rosbane?”

Oliver asked in a low voice, a low voice like a person freezing to death in the cold.

The blonde wizard looked at Oliver, smiled quietly, and replied.

“Don’t worry. He is fine for now… Ah, that’s right, let’s do this. After we test you thoroughly, I’ll pick your trait factor and implant it in that orphan trash. That trash won’t be lonely, right? Although, it will be terribly painful.”

It was a mocking remark, but Oliver took it in another way.

“He’s fine…….. Thank you.”

“What?”

Oliver did not answer the blonde wizard’s question. Instead, he said something else.

[Imprison]

With those words, Oliver’s faint black suit broke the ice and attacked the blonde wizard in front of him as if making its last effort.

It stuck to the blonde wizard like a lump of mud.

The amount was not much, but at the sudden approach of the lump of emotion, the blonde wizard panicked and thrust the Magic sword deep into Oliver’s thigh.

A sharp pain rose in the thigh.

Oliver held back and moved his upper body from the ice restraint and took out the test tube.

[Imprison]

The second Imprison was enough to swallow the blonde wizard completely.

In addition, pushed back by the mass of emotions, the blonde wizard let go of the Magic sword that was stuck in Oliver’s thigh.

“Youuuuuu……!”

As Oliver held the Magic sword stuck on his thigh, he read through the configuration of the spell cast on the sword, reconfigured it, and took possession.

“What? How?”

The red-haired wizard, who was supporting the bald wizard, jumped up in surprise.

Removing the sword from his thigh, Oliver thrust the magic sword painted red with his blood into the ground filled with ice, read through the configuration of the spell cast on the ice, reconfigured it, and tried to take possession.

[Prison]

Along with those words, part of the ice’s control came over to Oliver, and the ice castle that had been formed all over the place hit its owner and his bald colleague.

“Ugh…”

Oliver tied his injured leg with a handkerchief as quickly as possible.

At this rate, he thought it wouldn’t be easy to take back Rosbane from here.

His head ached again.

His body was cold, and he was hungry.

Oliver realized that it had been a whole day since he had eaten.

‘No, half a day?’

Suddenly, he remembered what the old man from the used bookstore said.

-If you don’t sleep, your cognitive and memory skills will decrease.

His mind was wandering, and he wondered why he was here.

His stamina needed to be replenished as soon as possible.

“Replenish strength…”

At that moment, Oliver saw the blonde wizard struggling inside Imprison– his overflowing Mana and Life-force.

The book said it was impossible, but Oliver tried it without realizing it because his head wasn’t working.

“…Haaa.”

Through his mouth, Oliver took a deep breath.

With that breath, the Life-force of the blonde wizard entered Oliver’s mouth.

Then, the blood stopped dripping from his body, the wounds healed, and the ice-lowered body temperature recovered gradually.

“Um, it’s a little better now.”
