Infinite Mage

“Those insolent brats! avalanche Think this is the end?”

In the royal tavern, there was a secret space accessible only to Falcoa, even within the Freeman organization.

This place was the Lupe manufacturing site.

Standing beside Falcoa, Zis’s heart was racing. canvas He had witnessed Falcoa’s eccentricities for a long time, but the current situation was far from normal.

A day had passed since Shirone’s group caused a stir in the tavern and left, yet Falcoa’s anger seemed to have not subsided.

Zis, who had just finished his usual day of beckoning customers at the port, was grabbed by Falcoa’s men and brought here.

‘What is he planning? amber Why did he suddenly bring me here?’

Amy was, of course, the one he despised the most.

Falcoa laughed ominously, his face twisting into a grimace. meadow The faces of the infuriating Shirone and his group haunted his mind.

“Ha, just wait and see. palette I won’t let them get away with this.”

Falcoa nearly drew his sword on the spot when Amy defiantly downed the drink laced with Lupe and flaunted her red eyes.

Falcoa was fiddling with a device that ground Lupe into powder.

Zis glanced at Falcoa, feeling terrified.

By compressing the roots of Lupe and extracting the juice, then grinding it until all moisture evaporated, only a fine powder remained.

But could this really be called a drug?

“Zis, we need to make another visit.”

Traditionally, the proper use of Lupe was to chew the root and neutralize it with saliva. anxiety However, what Falcoa was creating was nothing short of a potent chemical toxin, designed solely to maximize its effects.

Zis suspected Amy belonged to a prominent family. abandon If Falcoa targeted her, it wouldn’t be long before Galiant Island itself faced dire consequences.

Zis swallowed hard. galaxy He had anticipated Falcoa’s desire for revenge, but he hadn’t expected it to go this far.

“Where to?”

“To that girl, Amy. afford It worked once, so it should work again. armor Don’t tell me it’s impossible. adopt You’ve seen my condition; you know what I’m capable of.”

“Then why bother? harbor It’s just stirring up trouble for nothing.”

“Addiction? arrow Foolish boy. orbit That girl will never become addicted. anchor As if the Red-eyed Ruler of the continent would fall to something as trivial as Lupe.”

“Are you planning to get her addicted?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 143: The ‘Parrot’ (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Falcoa packed the refined Lupe powder into greaseproof paper and poured it all into a pre-prepared cup of water.

“You imbecile. album Can’t you see? athlete Because she won’t get addicted, this plan will succeed.”

But Falcoa seemed beyond reasoning.

Zis tried to persuade Falcoa, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Zis’s breath caught in his throat.

Typically, one root was enough for two hours of chewing. autumn But Falcoa had just mixed in three times that amount into the water.

He had never used Lupe, but he knew how it was consumed.

Moreover, being in a liquid form meant that the effects, which would normally take six hours to manifest, would hit all at once.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I intend. arena I’ll make her drink this again. avalanche She’ll confidently accept it, thinking it’s harmless. ability But with this amount of Lupe, she won’t stand a chance. riddle You understand, don’t you?”

“You can’t mean…”

“Haha, it doesn’t matter. anxiety Just bring me her corpse.”

“Why would you do that? adopt If she dies, you can’t sell her.”

Zis stared at the glass bottle with bloodshot eyes, trembling with fear.

Falcoa bottled the Lupe solution. alien When the solution mixed with the soda in the bottle, it took on the appearance of a pretty jade-colored cocktail.

“Here, take it. anxiety It’s simple. alpha Just lure her out saying you have something to discuss, then make her drink this. timber Load her into the carriage and bring her here. academy Can you do that?”

Amy wouldn’t refuse it. abstract And if she took even a sip, it would be over.

“What are you waiting for? afford Don’t want it? accent Or do you want to drink it yourself?”

“What?”

“Stop it, you filth.”

Falcoa’s murderous intent weighed heavily on Zis, feeling like a tangible hand gripping his throat.

Sometimes, when faced with an utterly absurd situation, one might find themselves eerily calm. admire That was Falcoa’s state now.

“What did you just say? wizard Say it again.”

Was the effect of Lupe still lingering? echo That couldn’t be. sphere He had become desensitized to Lupe’s effects, thanks to his constant use.

Falcoa doubted his ears.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 143: The ‘Parrot’ (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

This might have been his last chance. accent If he apologized now, he might get away with just being half-dead.

Zis found himself unable to repeat his words.

His anger was secondary; first, he needed to confirm if this greenhorn really meant what he said.

The words Amy had said to him in the carriage, smiling, rendered Zis immobile.

“I don’t dislike kids like you.”

Zis couldn’t bring himself to kneel before Falcoa.

‘But…’

The moment he begged Falcoa for forgiveness, it felt as if he would be betraying Amy, turning her into a liar, so the words wouldn’t come out.

Why? portal All he had to do was admit his weakness.

“Stop it, you disgusting creature. galaxy You’re not even human anymore, drugged up and unable to distinguish right from wrong! antenna You’re such a piece of trash that calling you trash would be a compliment!”

Falcoa’s fist swung towards Zis’s delirious face with lightning speed.

Yet, he spoke out.

Zis felt dizzy. amber The mix of euphoria and fear was overwhelming, making it impossible to maintain his composure, and his consciousness began to fade.

Just like Shirone would. altitude Like someone who believed they had no future.

“You crazy bastard! abandon What’s wrong with your head!”

Darkness enveloped him, and he finally grasped his reality. meadow A grim future awaited Zis, one that could only be described as hellish.

“Ugh!”

Falcoa finally showed his true colors, brutally beating Zis.

Zis couldn’t even scream.

Had Falcoa activated his Schema, Zis’s body would have been mashed like meat hanging in a butcher’s shop.

It wasn’t just a beating to intimidate; he was kicking Zis’s body as if he truly intended to kill him.

“Die! afford Die! meadow Die!”

“Huff, right. canvas Killing someone like you wouldn’t even be fun.”

The feeling of his body being smashed was fleeting; soon, he felt nothing. wizard Only the shock beyond the realm of pain reached him.

Falcoa regained his composure, but this only signaled greater misfortune for Zis.

Falcoa grabbed Zis by the hair and lifted him up. aspect The sensation of his neck vertebrae cracking was the least of his concerns, given his battered state.

“Cough! apron Cough!”

“Alright, then I have a plan too.”

Zis was in tears. agent He knew what Falcoa was planning.

“Touching, Zis. anchor To think a lowlife like such courage. sphere Seems like you’ve taken a fancy to that girl, but I’ll grant your wish. aspect I won’t touch her. aspect How about that? arctic Are you happy now?”

Without Zis, Falcoa couldn’t trap Amy, but he had grown tired of considering such trifles.

“Please… just this once, have mercy.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 143: The ‘Parrot’ (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Falcoa threw Zis’s head to the ground as if he were discarding a useless toy. portal Zis’s face bounced off the floor with a thud, then plummeted down again. auction That single blow knocked him unconscious.

“Yuna, was it? abstract Your sister’s name. abandon From now on, you’ll regret the decision you made today for the rest of your life.”

“Please, not Yuna… just spare her… Cough!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 143: The ‘Parrot’ (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bring that girl Yuna to the hideout, now!”

Falcoa had no intention of sparing Amy even though he had shifted his target to Yuna. audit He planned to bring Yuna to his hideout and torment her, then use her to blackmail Zis. antique Threatening him with his sister’s life would leave Zis with no choice but to comply.

“Ha, this turned out to be quite entertaining.”

Falcoa roared at his subordinates with rage, then bit into a whole root of Lupe, chewing it viciously.

Although they didn’t achieve their primary goal in the Room of Achievement and Sacrifice, they learned a lot.

By the time Shirone and his companions arrived back at the villa, midnight was drawing near. avalanche Given the distance, they had stopped for dinner on their way back.

Hearing about Amy’s aspirations, Tess was surprised, having never imagined that Amy would aim for a military career.

“Hehe, I have a knack for espionage, you know. atlas The girl Amy is actually very delicate and feminine.”

No matter how spirited she was, the military was predominantly male, and she wasn’t sure she could adapt.

“Yes? artist What is it?”

Tess clapped her hands as if struck by an idea, and Amy looked at her curiously.

“Your beautiful face. audit For a female spy, beauty is essential. ability No man in the world dislikes a beautiful woman.”

‘Aw, how cute. adopt See, how feminine she is?’

“No, that’s okay. sphere I’ll trust in my magical abilities.”
