This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 6 Wizards and the Hunt!

"It's not just possible, it's very likely."

When they saw that the level 9 superhuman hiding in the corner was indeed the [Hunter].

Tucker felt more confident.

"During my nighttime hours, I often went out, and I never expected that I would actually be targeted."

Tucker rubbed his temples.

Being targeted by this level 9 hunter is not a problem.

But the real trouble lies in what's hidden behind this.

"No matter what, you need to be well-fed and watered to have the energy to solve problems."

At this moment, the blackhorn beef bread soup was served.

Tucker first took a sip of the soup, then lowered his head to enjoy the food.

As the hot soup entered his stomach, Tucker began to feel his body gradually warming up.

About half an hour later.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they sat by the fireplace in the tavern, letting the Crimson Flame Bracelet absorb enough heat.

Tucker then got up and walked outside.

And this time...

The hunter, who was in stealth mode, followed silently.

"Last time, there were two of us, Carlos and I, and this guy didn't dare to make a move."

"Seeing I was alone, you came up to me?"

"I used to be able to easily beat you, a level 9 hunter."

"Right now... I could scatter your ashes in a heartbeat."

The streets were deserted.

He sensed the hunter's trail about twenty meters behind him.

As he strolled leisurely, Tucker opened the attribute panel.

[Extraordinary Sequence]

Wizard: Level 9.

……

[Extraordinary Talent]

Precision (S-level): 478%.

……

[Extraordinary witchcraft/ability]

Touch perception (ability): Level 9.

Bullet Tentacle: Level 9.

Bloodthorn Vine: Level 9.

Source Scale Shield: Level 9.

Oil spell: Level 9.

Speed ​​Boost: Level 9.

…………

Normally, it is quite difficult to upgrade the level of extraordinary witchcraft/abilities.

Many level 9 superhumans usually only have level 4 or 5 spells and abilities.

Even the "sequence ability" that comes with his extraordinary sequence is only around level 6 or 7.

Tucker, on the other hand, borrowed the "source energy experience" that the system continuously developed.

He had already upgraded all his wizarding abilities and magic to level 9.

This is precisely why Tucker is more powerful than other Level 9 superhumans.

"The bullet tentacles, if they hit accurately, could probably kill that guy on the spot."

"Hmm... let's try the Bloodthorn Vine first."

"The Bloodthorn Vine has powerful control abilities, but... its attack movements are a bit slow, and its entanglement and whipping are not very efficient."

"It's basically useless against agile opponents."

"Now that we have the blessing of an S-class extraordinary talent, let's test the effect with that hunter."

……

Under the cold moonlight.

[Hunter] Nelson, following the corner of the low-lying burrow hut.

Using stealth and disguise, he followed the young wizard like a nimble cheetah.

To ensure that the other party would not discover him, Nelson deliberately kept his distance.

"Very young."

"I was talking to another assassin about some forbidden area earlier, heh..."

Nelson smiled slightly.

"These young guys are obsessed with treasures, ruins, forbidden areas and stuff like that."

"How...childish!"

"One slash!"

Nelson's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

This young and imaginative wizard only needs one strike.

"And it was a cut that caused absolutely no pain."

The wizard turned into the alley.

Nelson quickened his pace.

The opportunity is here.

We just entered the alleyway.

Nelson's steps suddenly froze.

All I saw was...

The young wizard in the gray robes was bathed in moonlight, calmly looking at himself.

The crimson aura of witchcraft was nearing its end.

"not good!"

The hunter's sense of smell instantly put Nelson on high alert.

He was all too familiar with the role reversal between hunter and prey.

Nelson rolled backward at an incredible angle.

Meanwhile, on the low wall that Nelson had previously relied on, accompanied by a ripple of blood, a vine covered in thorns and barbs began to emerge.

"Wisteria magic?"

Nelson, catching a glimpse of the vine magic, felt a pang of unease.

"this one?"

The wizard's performance had truly surprised Nelson, making him quite wary.

At this moment, the opponent's attack was completely different from what Nelson had expected.

These slow-moving vines are completely useless against hunters.

I thought he was a pro, but he turned out to be a noob?

"Perhaps I should roll forward instead of running away."

Nelson, who had just landed after a backward roll, immediately bounced forward.

Nelson needed to correct his previous mistakes, close the distance with the sorcery, and end the battle quickly.

Just as Nelson leaped high, the arc of his jump about to trace a perfect trajectory in the moonlight.

"call out--"

A sharp and piercing sound rang out.

"What?"

Before Nelson could react...

I felt a sharp pain in my left calf.

His perfect jump arc was suddenly pulled forcefully towards the ground.

A dull thud.

Nelson's face made intimate contact with the cold ground, and his nose started bleeding uncontrollably.

Painful cries echoed in the moonlight as the animals struggled to escape.

Inside the alleyway.

Looking at the unfortunate hunter, Tucker let out a soft sigh.

"The S-rank [Precision] buff to the vines... seems to be a tiny bit huge!"

"The spellcasting process itself is normal."

"But the Bloodthorn Vines that have taken shape are completely different."

Tucker recalled the veins and trajectory of the bloodthorn vines he had just seen.

"The bloodthorn vines followed the opponent's trajectory, bursting forth and striking perfectly while simultaneously completing the entanglement."

"Search for the enemy, strike, entangle—all done in one smooth motion."

"The precision characteristic is perfectly embodied in the vine itself."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The vines that were originally slow-moving."

It instantly turned into a crazy "devil vine".

"No... this is even more terrifying than the advanced sorcery 'Devil's Vine'."

"An S-class extraordinary talent, no wonder the rumors are so vague, it's really too heaven-defying."

After briefly testing the Bloodthorn Vines, Tak turned his attention back to the hunter.

Painful groans, desperate struggles.

By any measure, it looks like it's about to die.

"Terrible acting!"

Tucker wouldn't believe a single thing about a hunter with the ability to "disguise".

Under Tucker's "precise vision," it becomes clear that the hunter is not only feigning death, but also has the potential and trajectory for a counterattack.

"You like playing dead, don't you!"

With a single move, Tak cast the Bloodthorn Vine spell once again.

The hunter, who was on the verge of death, suddenly sprang to his feet.

The pain I just experienced was half real and half feigned.

The goal was to lure the wizard into a trap.

Unexpectedly, the wizard not only refused to take the bait, but instead intensified his efforts, casting the vine spell once again.

Nelson wasted half a day, letting that damned vine suck a lot of his blood.

"I hate these ranged spellcasters. They fight like men."

As Nelson sprang into the air, he let out a furious roar, a stark contrast to his previous near-death state.

He swung his hunting blade down fiercely at the vines wrapped around his calves.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

The hunting blade in Nelson's hand flew out of his grasp, and his entire palm went numb from the shock.

"Clang..."

The hunting blade fell to the ground, and a second vine wrapped around Nelson's right leg.

Meanwhile, Nelson, who was completely dumbfounded, was still hearing the sound of the hunting blade hitting the ground.

"How...how is this possible?"
