Returning From The Magic World

Earlier, Alex vowed that after he gained superpowers here, he would go straight to Arthur's residence to beat him up.

He didn't care about the consequences because his grudge against him was too great.

Plus, he thought he would be fine because here, he was backed by a Three-Star General.

Unfortunately, his plan would never work because the place where he wanted to gain power was attacked by the woman who had a relationship with Arthur.

And just as he wanted to escape, he suddenly encountered a huge crocodile, and even then heard Arthur's voice.

With a somewhat frightened feeling, he slowly looked up at the crocodile's body.

As he expected, he actually saw the man.

Of course, in this situation, getting angry was also impossible. He felt nothing but fear.

Arthur, on the other hand, continued to smile.

Earlier he thought Rose and the others were so unskilled that something got away, but it seemed that it was purely because Rose wanted him to deal with Alex himself.

Whoosh!

Arthur jumped, landing in front of Alex and his gang members.

Isabel was silent as she watched his actions.

After seeing him kill once, she seemed ready that he would do it again.

And she couldn't criticize because before Arthur killed someone else, he saw her kill first.

After thinking about it until now, she thought it was inappropriate.

However, everything had already happened, so it was impossible to fix it again.

She could only go with the flow of a magus' life.

And she knew that it wasn't just about magus.

The world was like that from the beginning.

Ordinary people had an organized life because there were laws above their heads, but it was a different case for those who controlled the laws.

Like her youthful experience where the law meant nothing at all.

"What do you want to do?" Alex asked Arthur tremblingly.

In his life, he had rarely felt fear, but here was the jungle and now he was dealing with someone who could ride a giant crocodile.

He didn't need to keep speculating to know that Arthur also had superpowers and it definitely wasn't as simple as the superpowers he knew.

"All this time, I let you continue to live because you were just an ordinary person and lived among the people. However, since you've been here and even tried to take a step further, I can't regard you in the same way as before. And of course, I'm not the type to wait for a child to grow up first to fight me. Yeah, I probably would have let you off if you were still a child, but unfortunately you're old enough to make a lot of mess."

Arthur deliberately said that to give more fear to Alex.

Speaking of death, even he couldn't help but be scared because what he would face next was eternal sleep if he didn't go to the afterlife.

Even if he somehow went to the afterlife, what awaited him there might not be good things.

"Arthur, if you do that, you will receive punishment, life in prison. You will also face the wrath of the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff." Realizing that the situation was getting worse, Alex could only threaten as pleading would only make him look foolish.

Despite being extremely frightened, he also still had pride.

Begging for forgiveness was not something he would do.

"Yeah, you can complain to him in the afterlife," Arthur replied with a quiet laugh.

Whoosh!

He finally moved, appearing in front of Alex while his hand landed on top of his head.

Extremely hot flames then blazed from his hand, drowning Alex's body directly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...." He quickly screamed because it was too hot.

However, his scream did not last long as his death was also too quick.

And it was a death that left nothing behind, not even dust. He literally became air and disappeared from the world.

Compared to a mortal like him, Arthur's fire was practically too hot.

He deliberately obliterated his body entirely so as not to give Isabel and Alice behind too horrible an impression.

"You?" Alex's friends stepped back but it caused them to fall.

Arthur turned his gaze to them and showed a horrified expression.

"I'm sure your parents aren't looking for you even though you won't be returning home, so die in peace," he said as he pointed his hand at them.

A wave of fire appeared and instantly drowned them, turning them into nothingness faster than Alex had.

They didn't even have time to scream.

It was almost like a painless death.

Arthur shook his head.

This certainly didn't make him feel anything. There was no effect on him at all because the matter of slaughtering, he had already slaughtered an entire city several times when he was in a state of chaos.

"Aunt, come on!" He signaled for Isabel to come down.

The latter looked at Alice and finally grabbed her hand before jumping down.

The young woman curiously stared at the area where Alex and his friends had disappeared. She tried to search for their dust only to find nothing.

"Wh-what exactly are you? How did you create such a powerful fire?" Being too curious, she finally asked Arthur.

As a researcher, it was in her nature.

"Looks like you're still unconscious," Arthur replied while showing the flames gathered in his hand.

"This is not evolutionary power, but magic that you can create with spells once you have spiritual energy."

"Y-you're a magus?" After hearing Arthur's answer, Alice unintentionally stepped back.

"It seems like you've heard of magus even if you haven't seen one. But that's not strange considering you're a member of the royal family."

"It really exists," Alice said.

"Are they also the same?" She glanced at Isabel and the building. Obviously what she meant when she stared at the building was Rose and the others.

"Some are Knights, but they also have spiritual powers. Their focus is more on physical combat." Arthur explained. He felt no objection to talking more with her, as if she was just like Carla.

"And they are all your subordinates?" Alice's curiosity seemed to be getting out of control.

"Yes, I'm the one who gave them the method to gain that power, they naturally have to submit to me." Arthur smiled.

"You even shared the method?" Alice's mouth opened, producing a rather cute sight due to the combination with her round eyes.

However, after that, she did not speak again.

Of course, it wasn't because she didn't want to speak, but rather because she felt so astonished that she couldn't speak.

At the same time, Arthur, Isabel, and Alice arrived in front of the building's entrance.

From there, they could see into it.

Alice seemed to instantly forget her conversation with Arthur when she saw the things inside the building.

"Gosh, how much money did they use for this place?" She wondered, making Arthur glance at her.

Besides the researchers, military members, and people like Alex, he did see a lot of equipment and various bottles filled with chemical liquids, consisting of various colors.

Some of the bottles were emitting smoke.

In his eyes, there was no significant value to them, but it seemed that they were all very expensive.

"Can you estimate the value of everything here?" Arthur asked because he was a little curious.

"M-maybe 3 billion euros," Alice replied.

Her eyes trembled when she mentioned that number.

As a member of the royal family, money might not be that great to her, but still 3 plus billion was too much.

"How much does one Evolver actually cost?" After knowing the value of the objects here, he became curious about the price of a single Evolver.

Andi and Jade probably didn't know such details.

"One experiment costs 500 Thousand Euros, but after the first successful experiment, there are still many things needed. They are much more expensive. Overall, it might reach 3 million." Alice replied.

Hearing that, Isabel could not help but react. Her eyes became sharp for a moment. After all, as a congresswoman, she had the duty to oversee the country's finances.

Knowing that so much money was being spent without her knowledge upset her.

Rose then approached Arthur. She was carrying an SSD.

With a faint smile, she handed it to Arthur.

"Boss, all the research data in this place is here," she said.

Arthur took the SSD, looked at it briefly and shook his head.

"Sell it if you can," he said.

Unfortunately, it was not a valuable object to him.

Turning it into money is much better.

Actually, he didn't bring things here and sell them either, but he knew that it was impossible because there were too many things to bring.

Even if he called Archer and Aleria, the two Harpies, carrying all the items here would still require going back and forth more than ten times.

Not that it was impossible, but he didn't have much more time to spend here. Plus, they would probably be detected.

Arthur's suggestion made Rose's eyes light up. She seemed to agree with the idea.

"Yeah, I'm sure China wouldn't mind paying top dollar, oh, middle eastern countries too, or we could sell to all who want them." She said.
