Chapter 37: Human
Three people came out of the bushes.
They were all gangsters, with big bodies and many tattoos.
Their looks were also frightening. In the city, people like them could practically easily scare people away.
"I thought we'd be waiting for a long time, but it turns out there were two who arrived early." The man in the middle spoke.
He was the one who spoke earlier, had a bald head and on top of his head was a cobra head tattoo.
"Big bro, don't you see, they are both handsome and beautiful. Their value is naturally higher. We will get more rewards for capturing them," said the man beside him.
He was tall but the shortest of the three.
Each of his ears was full of long gold earrings, hanging from the top to the bottom of his earlobes.
"You're right..." The big bro smiled as he stretched his body until his bones creaked.
Suddenly, the ring on his finger turned into a long piece of iron that looked very solid.
It had a blunt end, which meant it was used specifically for hitting.
"Who are you guys?" Oliver asked them.
Of course, their identities weren't that important. The problem was why did they want to arrest people?
And it seemed to be ordered by someone because they talked about rewards after arresting them.
"Hahaha, boy, you don't need to know who we are. All you need to know is that you'll be arrested and will soon be sent somewhere unimaginable." The big bro replied, banging his long iron into his palm.
After which, he moved his head towards the other man beside him.
This one had long hair that was slightly curly, adding to his gloomy impression.
"Catch him," he said.
Shua!
The long-haired man ran straight towards Oliver.
He was carrying a large sword that curved like a crescent moon.
His running speed was rather amazing, and the stomping of his feet seemed to make vibrations.
Vaguely, there was a brown light emanating from his body.
'Is this physical strengthening?' Oliver wondered.
As it got closer to him, the man jumped into the air.
"Boy, eat this..." He shouted loudly, swinging the huge sword at him.
"Well, since it's a fight you want!" Oliver didn't stand still, he responded to the man's movement by taking out one of his golden bones.
Buzz!
Golden flames emerged from his hand and enveloped the bone.
From where he stood, he threw the bone at the man who was still in the air.
Xiu!
Coupled with the thrust of the golden flame whose heat instantly changed the scent of the air, the bone traveled so fast that the long-haired man widened his eyes in shock.
He tried to block the bone with his sword only to find that his sword was instantly knocked away due to how powerful the bone's impact was.
To make matters worse, the sword then melted from the heat of the golden flames.
How could that be?
The other two men who saw that felt like they were dreaming.
That sword was a Class D weapon, from the System. Even if it was only the lowest level weapon, it was still made of the strongest materials. Melting it should have taken great effort. However, it melted very quickly.
Because their attention was focused on the sword, they barely even saw the moment the bone pierced the long-haired man's chest.
Only Kim Hana saw it quite clearly because the man was now right above the hole she was in.
Despite being trapped, Kim Hana did not panic.
Her knowledge of Oliver's power made her confident that he would be fine.
BANG!
The man fell onto the cage she was in, somewhat to her horror as she saw the hole in his chest while the man's eyes were wide but without light.
Without a doubt, the man was already a corpse.
She couldn't help but panic seeing such a thing in front of her.
Meanwhile, Oliver jumped forward to land a few meters away from the remaining two men.
When they saw him again, they involuntarily took a step back.
"W-who are you?" asked the big bro, panicking clearly.
Someone who could easily kill his friend should be able to kill him as well. It might just be a little more difficult because his skills were a little stronger, but the end result was still the same. He naturally panicked.
"Now that you're curious, isn't this funny?" Oliver replied.
"How about telling me first who's behind all this and what's the point of doing a kidnapping like this?"
Another golden bone appeared in his hand when he said that.
He showed its sharp tip to the two of them so that they looked even more horrified.
"Brat, you will die first!" Unexpectedly, after being frightened, the big bro suddenly lunged towards Oliver with a ferocious expression back on his face.
BANG!
There was an explosion of aura from his body, colored orange like sunlight, which then flowed into the iron in his hand.
It had a pressure amazing enough that Oliver thought it was a Class A skill.
However, how could a gangster like him have such a skill? Where did he get the money? Were gangsters now so rich?
Shua!
The man swung the iron at him and it shone brighter, disturbing his view.
Quickly, he deflected it with his bone.
BANG! BANG!
The first bang was the result of the iron and bone colliding. However, the second bang was due to the explosion that arose from the iron.
The light from the iron actually shrank for a moment before releasing a powerful explosion like a boom, not affecting the man but affecting Oliver.
He could feel the force of the explosion, which was extremely hot.
However, the explosion could not damage his skin in the slightest.
The strength of the dragon bones in his body released a defensive aura that even added weight to his body so that the shockwave from the explosion could not push him over, only his clothes were torn in places.
"You!" When the big bro realized there wasn't any damage received by Oliver, his mouth and eyes opened wide.
