One Spell

Arthur and the other two quickly entered the park. They walked by the side of a fairly small road while the left and right sides were forest.

The sound of birds constantly reverberated everywhere, some even sounded sinister. Perhaps the two women were also coming here for the first time, they looked uncomfortable as they looked around. From the city then entering this park gives the sensation of being teleported to a remote area.

Carla didn't ask, so Bella also chose to be silent even though her mouth seemed to want to speak several times.

While waiting for those people, Arthur made a look around. This park couldn't be called extraordinary, but it was still quite unique in that it had more spiritual energy.

Practicing magic or understanding spells is easier here.

"Mmm!" After a few times looking around, Arthur squinted at a bush that was quite tall among the trees.

He stepped towards it, followed by Carla and Bella. Unfortunately, when they were almost there, the black van suddenly came. It was very fast, and steered recklessly, nearly crashing into a tree. Luckily it probably has good brakes.

Even so, the people in the van were still shaken up so they scolded the driver. Arthur saw them because here, they didn't close the windows of the van.

"Who are they?" Bella wondered, she looked bothered by the appearance of those involved like a group of gangsters. In a place like this, it was hard not to worry about meeting people like them.

A moment after scolding the driver, they opened all the doors, descending quickly while their eyes fell on Arthur and the others.

"Hehehe, you young people really know how to choose a good place for a threesome, if it weren't for the assignment, I would really like to join in," said Barbara with a seductive laugh.

Carla and Bella gasped simultaneously at her words. Their faces turned red very quickly.

It might have been because they were surprised someone would think that way of them, but it was clear the people were taking their reaction as embarrassment.

"We were wrong, we should have come quietly, waiting for them to do it first. That way, we can watch the show for free," added another woman. She has short black hair, brown skin, like a middle easterner. Her name is Cora.

This time, Carla staggered backwards, nearly falling.

Bella, on the other hand, didn't reach that point. However, who knew what she was thinking, she suddenly looked at Arthur and for a moment her expression became strange as if she was imagining something she shouldn't.

The only one still calm was Arthur, he only blinked a few times in reaction, something that shouldn't have happened given his past experiences.

Even for him, it was something that was too much.

Of course, he didn't want to talk about it with them. He said, "if it's just the seven of you, you probably can't last more than two minutes."

His words instantly brought their discussion to a halt, some shocked.

"Little brother, do you know something?" Barbara asked.

"You guys want to kidnap Carla, right?" replied Arthur.

"What?" Bella stared at Carla in astonishment. Realizing that this was premeditated and they were still coming filled him with astonishment.

Barbara and the others looked around, slightly panicked, worried that this was a trap.

One of them even took out an infrared camera and aimed it at various points.

Arthur laughed lightly at that. He said, "don't worry, there's nobody here but us."

That naturally made them more confused.

"Since you know, why did you come here?" Asked Rock.

"Why? Of course to beat you guys up," Arthur replied, taking one step forward.

"You're not crazy, are you, boy?" Ben asked. When they got together, he never heard anyone say he was going to beat them up.

"Let's not mince words, let's do it," said Rock.

The others nodded, one by one, they ran towards Arthur and the others. Some took a detour to their rear.

Bella started to panic, she grabbed Carla's hand, clung to her.

Carla herself, even though she knew Arthur was a Magus, was also a little worried because this was her first experience dealing directly with criminals.

Meanwhile, Arthur pointed his hand forward and said, "Sacred Tree in Heaven, catch them!"

Everyone including Carla was taken aback by his words, but they became even more shocked when they saw some roots appear from under the ground. The roots were moving toward Rock and the others at breakneck speed. They were like snakes, surrounding them before coiling around their bodies.

"What?" Their eyes opened wide as they found they couldn't move anymore. No matter how much strength they exerted, they couldn't escape those roots which were as big as their own feet.

"Magus!" Barbara said, her eyes looking like she was looking at a god as she looked at Arthur.

Bella who was standing behind Arthur pointed at him with a trembling body. "A-Arthur, what is this?" She asked.

She glanced at Carla and found the woman not particularly surprised.

Arthur waved his fingers and it caused the roots to move towards him, carrying Rock and the others.

"You should have used your weapons earlier, that would have made it a little more difficult for me," said Arthur.

Taking turns, they arrived in front of him and he took out the pistols hidden under their clothes.

"Well, now tell me who are you and who is your boss?" Arthur asked, bringing them to their senses.
