Genius Warlock-Episode 113
humming-! humming! Buuuuuung————— Boom!!!!
"Ohh....!”
Oliver quickly took a step back, admiring the multiple shattered black shields..
Duncan, who was holding a ㅓ-shaped club, was clearly strong, a strength befitting his career as Edith's close associate and former Pinkman executive..
‘To be honest, I was amazed at how strong he was, but now I understand. Pinkman is pretty strong..’
Thinking like that, Oliver stepped back..
The moment his feet touched the floor, Duncan ran as fast as he could and immediately closed the distance..
"......!"
He was the fastest person Oliver had faced so far, but honestly, it was hard to deal with him..
Each of his attacks was fast and threatening.
[Thrust]
Oliver fires a shockwave that hits Duncan..
I blocked the bullets of hatred with my amazing reflexes, so I chose to attack in the area instead of the point, but luckily it worked..
At best, it's just a bit of a pain in the ass..
"joy......!"
"I used it so much that the cement wall broke.….”
Oliver said while looking at Duncan withstanding the shock wave..
His body was not very strong, and with the addition of his massive magical power, it was even more difficult to inflict damage..
But I thought it would be better to focus on one point rather than the overall shock..
[Shadow Spike]
Oliver's shadow stretched forward and quickly rose from beneath Duncan's feet..
Each of the shadow stakes targeted Duncan's ankles, abdomen, chest, and chin, but Duncan gave himself up to the shock wave and quickly dodged backwards, swinging his club to smash the shadow stakes..
Oliver was embarrassed..
The obvious yet effective strategy of grabbing the ankles and sight with a shock wave and ending it with a shadow spike at the right time ends with only increasing the distance..
Of course, I was able to take a breather against Duncan, who was a burden if I got close, but it was still quite difficult..
'hmm.......'
Oliver swings his club as if to warm himself up! humming-! Dolly thought to herself as she looked at Duncan..
He seemed quite relaxed. No, is it obvious??
Hate Bullet can be blocked by dodging or striking, Las Boom can be resisted with magic, and Shadow-type black magic also does not work..
However, I was reluctant to trust the black suit and engage in close combat..
No, rather, it was a situation that should be avoided the most..
It had high firepower and seemed to have better close-quarters combat skills, but if it got hit even once by that fast club, it would be stunned, and if it got hit repeatedly, it would turn into minced meat..
If the Puppet he faced in the contaminated area was an endless enemy, Duncan was a deadly and suffocating opponent..
If you miss, you lose your life.
Honestly, in some ways it was worse..
Elements of reversal, such as the entrance to hell and artificial souls, that were seen when dealing with puppets were not found in Duncan..
So, the way for Oliver to survive now is to find the elements of victory as much as possible from his current emotions and situation..
There is a way, but it requires more time..
While thinking about what to say to make Duncan respond, he opened his mouth..
“..…Your skills are pretty good.”
“….thank you?”
"It's no joke.”
It was right. he was sincere.
"I've dealt with nearly three warlocks, and among them there were some famous ones... . Even compared to those guys, you're pretty amazing. Considering your age, there is potential for growth. It would be a waste to kill him like this.”
"Thank you for the compliment.”
"I'm serious. It's such a waste. It's too late to end up here after fiddling with loose money on the street... . I don't suggest it. Won't you come under me??”
An unexpected suggestion. Oliver was surprised..
It was because I didn't know I would receive such an offer during the fight, but what was even more surprising was that it wasn't just a trick..
Duncan he was sincere.
"Coincidentally, thanks to you, I lost two people I had been eyeing. You fill that empty space. I'll treat you better than both."
Oliver remained tense, but sighed and asked.
"hmm.… . When you say two, do you mean Scott and Nina??”
"Yeah, it looks like you don't have any sense..”
"is that so? thank god. People around me say I don’t have any sense… .. Can I ask you a question??”
"what?”
"Is the reason you want to harm Lady Jane to open an office like Pinkman??"
Oliver asked for confirmation..
Although I was certain, I still wanted to hear it from my own mouth, but my emotions answered before my words..
".....Okay, is there a problem??”
"no. I just don't understand. What can I say... . Lady Jane seems to have quite trusted Mr. Duncan, so why did you betray him??”
"I'm curious about that?”
"Yes, I'm curious. If you answer, I will also respond to your suggestions..”
Oliver said and raised both his hands..
There was a purpose to kill time, but there was also a sincere desire to hear an answer..
Jane trusted Duncan, and Edith also trusted Duncan enough to entrust Jane to him..
But suddenly there was betrayal. I was curious about the reason.
Duncan thought for a moment and then opened his mouth. He seemed to covet Oliver quite a bit..
“..…It's to make my dream come true.”
"......Are you opening an office??”
"No, it's a tool to make my dream come true. Do you know about Pinkman's office??”
"A little bit?”
"I don't know what you heard, but I'm sure what you heard was only a glimpse. They are active in sunny areas, but at the same time they are more active in shaded areas. For the politicians, businessmen and capitalists who need them. Thanks to this, Pinkman is able to use the influence of his customers, and soon he becomes another powerful person in this city and this country..”
“….Are you saying you want to have power??”
"that's right. As everyone does.”
"ah…..”
Oliver was amazed at his understanding. In the past, it took some time to understand these stories..
"I have no intention of ending my precious life simply as an employee of an organization or someone else's lackey. I want to become a tycoon, even if it means taking risks… . If Edith had left me at least a small gift for working for me for 20 years, I wouldn't have done this, but with the fear of dying soon, I lost my courage and tried to destroy the wealth I had built together, so I don't have many options... . I've got to get my share.”
"So, instead of Edith, you are attached to that family??”
“..…Is the warlock criticizing me??”
Oliver shook his head. sincerely.
"no. I'm just asking to be clear. I don’t think I’m the kind of person who can judge anyone… . That dream seems like a very important dream. Is there a special reason??”
"No, now it's my turn to hear the answer. If you want to hear the whole story, please answer whether you want to work for me or not. I will never disappoint you in your treatment. I show you a world that can never be reached by living on the streets..”
A promise is a promise. Oliver thought seriously..
"hmm… … . Sorry, but I will decline. As expected, I am reluctant to live in an organization. It seems like if you do something similar to Pinkman's office, you have to attack the workers as well. Because I'm a warlock..”
"That's stupid. I can cover that much..”
“okay…..”
Oliver fell into thought again. It reminded me of Cant, who created a new group of beggars in the sewers..
“….I still don't like it. sorry.”
“good… .. Then die..”
Duncan rushed toward Oliver with a cold expression, angered that he had been deceived..
It was quick to watch again, but I gradually got used to it. Oliver activated the shadow spikes precisely at the right time..
Thin shadow stakes rose up tightly as if forming a wall, but Duncan showed off his excellent reflexes, stopped right in front of his nose, and swung his club, lightly breaking the shadow stakes like matchsticks..
The destroyed shadow lost its power and returned to being an ordinary shadow..
After seeing this, Duncan immediately tried to move and saw that something was holding his ankle. It was Oliver's shadow tentacle..
I deliberately lowered the output of the shadow tentacle so that it wouldn't be noticed, but because of that, it broke off with just a little bit of force..
But it didn't matter. That's enough for Oliver..
Just- just- [Black Cube]
A black cube made up of six black shields surrounded Duncan..
Duncan did not panic, but packed a huge amount of magical power into the ㅓ-shaped club and tried to swing it with all his might..
".....huh?"
Duncan stopped swinging when he saw the minion inside the black cube. and…….
—————bang!!!!
A minion filled with Las Boom exploded..
Black magic combined on the spot when dealing with puppets in the past.
Even when using a powerful explosion, it was possible to limit damage to the surrounding area and inflict concentrated damage to opponents inside the cube..
I couldn't tell for sure, but it definitely seemed like it did some damage..
But Oliver didn't let down his guard..
Even though he was caught in an explosion, his will did not break..
Oliver instantly extracted the emotions and created four minions on the spot..
I fed the Hate Bullet to the minion, and as soon as it was created, it spit out bullets of hate towards the place covered in red flames and black smoke..
Pufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufu.—————!!!!!!
Bullets of hate pouring down like machine guns.
The power of each one was low, but Duncan could not avoid them due to their overwhelming numbers..
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!!!!”
Duncan screamed and ran towards Oliver..
He gathered the vast amount of magical energy within his body and wrapped it around himself like armor. Although it wasted a lot of magical energy, it was so effective that he was able to withstand the hateful bullets fired by the minions..
It was similar to an armored vehicle, and Oliver calculated it and created a Hate Bullet with his fingertips..
The most basic black magic, Hate Bullet.
Although it is the basic of basics, depending on the quality of emotion used and the ability of the user, its power can far exceed the basic level. Considering that the opponent is a living person, it is a black magic with very high lethality and effectiveness..
Oliver remembered this fact and compressed his feelings of hatred with all his might..
‘more..… . more..… . more..….'
As the mutually repulsive hatred was compressed, its power doubled. And as powerful as it was, it took time..
In a little more time, the bullet that would pierce Duncan's magic armor was completed, but the problem was that Duncan was slightly faster..
This is why Oliver did not use Hate Bullet in this way..
Nevertheless, the reason I used this method now was because there was someone who could take the time I was lacking..
"Wow!……!!”
"Squeak… ! Squeak…!"
“Just-just-just-just-just-just-just-"
"Kihiyi———!”
Oliver's corpse doll climbed over the wall and appeared..
It was for this critical timing that Oliver dealt with Pinkman alone without using the corpse doll.,
The only melee type was the swordsman, but the other corpse dolls also had high defense and were heavy, so they could act as a shield for a moment..
Oliver was planning to deliver a fatal blow to Duncan by shooting a bullet of hatred that he had compressed in the meantime..
A plan that will surprise you.
But it seemed like Oliver wasn't the only one who had such thoughts..
[holly light]
As Duncan chanted, sacred light surrounded the surroundings..
"......uh?"
