The "Magician's" performance
Flames 'Danitz accomplice? The Scalpel Man narrowed his eyes, but his movements were swift and Calmness as he bent down and jumped to the open space beside him.
The Scholarly Man glanced at the others chasing out of the wooden house, then quickly retreated while snapping his fingers repeatedly, conjuring up Air Bullet.
Bang bang bang!
The Scalpel Man rolled continuously, and the Air Bullet repeatedly landed in empty spaces, embedded themselves in the muddy ground, or pierced through the wooden walls.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the impending death. His emaciated body twisted into a pretzel, narrowly avoiding the fatal attack.
Bang!
The Scalpel Man turned around and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The Air Bullet, which was originally aimed at his forehead, shot into the room through the window behind him, hitting the wine bottle on the table and shattering it.
He was breathing almost imperceptibly, and quickly increased the distance between himself and the other person.
In another Dimension.
Lorry, who was watching the show, had a slight flicker in his eyes.
There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names, just like when I was called "Agile Lorry" in the Pickpocket Organization.
This nickname comes from the fact that he has exceptionally dexterous fingers and wrists, which allow him to easily take things from gentlemen's pockets that other Pickpocket cannot reach.
"The Calm Scowal" was indeed Calmness enough to break free from the mental trap set by the Illusions at the most critical moment of life and death.
At this moment, his gaze shifted, looking at the more pursuers who had arrived late. Based on the description in the Original Novel, he easily identified the main figures.
Surrounded by his subordinates and the Zombie, the tall man with dark skin, muscular build, and curly hair like marbles was "Iron" Maveti.
He was the second mate of "Admiral of Blood" Seniol, Great Pirate with Bounty of 6,000 pounds, and also the stepping stone for the Crazy Adventurer's rise to fame.
Standing next to Maveti, the man in a brown local robe and a tan straw hat is "Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley.
He is the sixth captain of the "Admiral of Blood" fleet, with Bounty Amount £3,800.
Together with Scowal, who Bounty Amount of 1,500 pounds, the three formed the core of this group of Pirate, while the others were insignificant figures.
It wasn't mentioned in the book, so Lorry couldn't possibly know him.
It seems the clumsy Hunter wasn't so clumsy after all; at least he knew to make a scene while escaping... He glanced in another direction and saw several rooftops ablaze, billowing thick black smoke. The flames were particularly conspicuous in the evening light, clearly the work of the desperate fleeing Danitz.
Even so, "Iron Man" Maveti didn't seem to intend to let Danitz off the hook. After rushing out, he coldly glanced at the Scholarly Man:
"I'll hold him off, you guys keep chasing!"
"Yes!"
The Pirate around him nodded quickly; their long-standing teamwork made them instinctively spread out and pursue from different routes.
Unlike other Pirate, "Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley and Scowal chose to prove their will through action rather than make a statement.
"Want to leave? Did you ask me first?"
The Scholarly Man sneered and immediately used his Flaming Jump to appear on a rooftop a dozen meters away, continuously raising his hand to fire Air Bullet.
Bang bang bang bang!
Air Bullet streaked across the night sky.
For Scowal, dodging invisible attacks was not difficult with a little concentration, but it was not so for these ordinary Pirate.
Some Pirate could avoid danger in advance by relying on their Spirituality intuition or years of experience in the face of death, but others were slower to react or less experienced.
"Oh, my leg!"
Under the still-sleeping night sky, a Pirate sat on the muddy ground, clutching his shattered knee and crying out in Affliction, causing the other Pirate to subtly change their expressions.
My Boss doesn't have the habit of giving out compensation!
Treating an injury of this severity might cost more than recruiting a new Sailor, making the fate of this companion obvious.
As soon as the thought crossed their minds, they all slowed down, focusing their energy on protecting themselves and dodging the invisible attacks.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!
It's hard to say that guy wasn't targeted because he was the fastest rusher earlier.
Seeing the Pirate minions begin to swim, the Scholarly Man didn't make things too difficult for them. He used the Flaming Jump onto another rooftop.
Snap!
Seeing the enemy suddenly Present Self front of him and hearing the familiar snap of fingers, Scowal stopped without hesitation and turned to dodge to the side.
"Inertia can kill you... Who says you have to use Air Bullet to snap your fingers?" The Scholarly Man smiled and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Unlike before, this time it's for real!
Scowal's pupils contracted sharply, but he did not lose his Calmness. Unable to take effective evasive action, he chose to try to avoid vital areas.
Suddenly, an ice wall appeared.
Bang!
The Air Bullet struck the ice wall, sending up a spray of white crystalline dust.
Damn it!
"Iron" Maveti roared angrily and finally caught up. The crucial ice wall from earlier was his creation.
He quickly looked up and surveyed his surroundings, feeling particularly annoyed by this slippery enemy, wishing he could turn him into Zombie on the spot.
"Frost!" "Iron" Maveti hissed in Ancient Hermes.
White, dreamy snowflakes drifted down from the sky, carried away by the cold wind in all directions, instantly extinguishing all the Flames on the nearby rooftops.
"Danitz can't escape, you'll die anyway!" Thinking this, he coldly glanced at the Scholarly Man, quickly raising his right hand in a fist-like gesture towards him:
"Corrosion!"
At the same time, he glanced at "Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley.
"Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley nodded slightly, took out a peacock blue carpet from his pocket, quickly spread it on the ground, and signaled for the others to gather.
Its name is "Flying Carpet," Sealed Artifact that can carry people flying!
What grudge do you hold against me...? Did that lousy Hunter sleep with your wife? And you still don't intend to let him go... The Scholarly Man thought to himself, rather speechless.
He was so grateful; without him, how could Danitz have escaped?
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, the Scholarly Man allowed countless streams of black energy to spread towards him, his body growing heavier and his movements gradually slowing down.
He took the Paper Figurine out of his pocket, pinched it between two fingers, and quietly tossed it away.
Glancing at the Zombie struggling to climb under the control of "Iron" Maveti, the Scholarly Man removed his top hat, placed it in front of his chest, and bowed slightly.
The next second, his figure disappeared and reappeared in front of "Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley.
Paper Figurine Substitute!
"Blood-colored Thorn" Huntley instinctively tried to run away, but before he could activate his "Flying Carpet," he was slammed headfirst into the face by the Scholarly Man.
Bang!
The powerful impact made him see the Star.
Immediately, he felt a lightness in his body, as if he were flying through the air; the sharp pain of landing brought him back to his senses, and he saw the enemy's actions:
The other person picked up the "Flying Carpet," ran towards the sea without hesitation, smiled back at him on the shore, and plunged into the water, never to be seen again.
