Genius Warlock-Episode 153

Oliver took a taxi as usual and visited Area X..

This is my sixth visit.

Although there were still eyes watching, I was slowly starting to get used to this area..

I even thought about going to see my teacher after finishing urgent work. It's been so long since I last saw you.

Oliver turned the head of the car, leaving the moving taxi behind, and went straight inside, heading towards the gym where he had planned to meet Joe..

After walking a bit, we arrived at a gym located relatively inside, and the man standing in front of it turned towards Oliver and greeted him..

“I'm here?”

It was none other than Jo..

"yes, ..… Have you been waiting??”

“Because we were supposed to meet today. By the way, can I get that first??”

“Oh, wait a minute..”

Oliver took out a bulging gluttonous pouch from his arms..

This was a guy who swallowed half of the bounty with his wallet-type glutton..

“Of the 648 million Randa excluding commissions, half, or 324 million Randa, is included here. You can check it out.”

Joe took the gluttonous bag, massaged it a few times, and then shook his head..

“I'll figure it out later.”

“Yes, whatever is convenient for you. And get this.”

Oliver held out three bottles of red medication from his arms..

“This?”

“It's a potion. When Arthur said he would participate in the big project, he supported it. Oh, did you get the potion??”

Joe shook his head..

I searched gray markets, black markets, and distributors using the shallow connections I had built up while working for the black market, but it was not easy to find the right product..

Good goods are more powerful, and those with money grab them first..

In that sense, Joe was quite grateful for the potion..

“thank you..… . money?”

“hmm… .. I received it as support from the city anyway, so I don’t think I need to receive it..”

It was an attitude rarely seen on this floor, let alone in Area X, but Joe nodded..

Others may not know, but they understand when Oliver does it. No, I understood everything Oliver did. That's how unique Oliver was..

A strange yet overwhelming feeling that cannot be felt by ordinary people...….

“Well then, shall we go in? I don't have time.”

Joe nodded and took Oliver into the gym..

Just like the last time I visited the gym, there were a lot of people exercising topless in a wide space..

bang! bang! There was someone who hit the sandbag hard enough to make a noise, while there was someone who lifted and put down a piece of metal making a loud squeaking sound..

Everyone was eager.

“Ah, there you are.”

A stocky bald man appeared among the muscular giants..

Although he was only the size of other people's waists, his arm, chest, and leg muscles were extremely developed, giving him the appearance of being as solid as pebbles..

And, as if he knew this, he did not feel discouraged by the number of people twice his age, but was even confident..

It was Dinklage, the director of this gym, whom I had met before when I came to see Joe..

“Nice to meet you. Director.”

“uh. Our group only comes when we have errands to run. That one... . That's right Dave?”

“Yes, long time no see. Mr. Dinklage.”

“What is Mr... . Just call me Director. When I heard it, he said he wanted to sign up for our gym..”

“Yes, I can't do it right now because I have work, but I would like to learn some exercise when I have time..”

“I don't know what you're thinking, but it's reckless. We only do exercise to become real males, not light exercise.

It would be better to find a gym. That's good for both sides.”

“Oh, I will..”

“But since you want to learn here so much, I'll teach you especially well. Come back when it's time to do it in earnest..”

Oliver tilted his head at the incoherent conversation..

Joe gave me some advice..

“Even though they say it that way, new members are always welcome, so don't worry. Rather, the director. Can I borrow your basement??”

“Okay, but it's only two hours. And don't forget what you promised me. Even though I'm bald, my memory is sharp.”

Joe nodded and took Oliver down to the basement training room..

As I saw last time, the training ground was full of stale air and huge rings, punching bags, mitts, and gloves..

The only difference is that the traces of blood on the floor are slightly darker..

Oliver asked, taking off his shirt..

“what is the promise?”

“ah? ....No big deal. I'm asking you to participate in a gambling fighting match. It is one of the few big money markets in District X, and the conditions for using the gym here are several.

I decided to participate.”

“Oh, I see. Now that I think about it, you said he played as a player in the past too.?”

“Not now, but it looks like I'm participating again..”

Joe's voice had a hint of bitterness. I wanted to ask for more details, but Joe opened his mouth first..

“So, can I go to class right away? I don't have time.”

Oliver nodded and took out a test tube filled with emotions and held it out to Joe..

Unlike last time, Joe extracted emotions quite skillfully. It made me wonder if he had talent beyond all appearances..

“Try to hold your emotions in your hands as much as possible..”

Joe did as he was told without saying a word..

1Even as minutes passed, the emotion remained steadily in Joe's hands..

“Well, this time, try pulling it out as thinly as possible.?”

Joe immediately transformed his emotional form. Although it wasn't as thick as a thread, it was about as thick as a finger joint..

"Pfft.....!"

As if even that was too much, Joe frowned and concentrated as much as he could..

Oliver watched the scene quietly, then took his finger and placed it on the back of Joe's hand..

By indirectly showing the trick, the emotion that was actually pulled out as thick as a finger has become thinner to 1/4 of that amount..

In fact, it should be thinner than this, but Oliver did not overdo it and proceeded slowly, step by step. Obviously, learning comes first. However, Joe seemed to have other thoughts..

“Hey, Dave..”

“Yes, Joe?”

“Can't I make a black suit in this state? I'm not trying to trick you. However, until next time, I want to find a way to use it somehow..”

It wasn't a lie. But other than that, Oliver shook his head..

“that's hard.”

“okay?”

“Yes, if it is too thick, it will not be flexible enough to cover the entire body, and there will be more gaps, which will greatly reduce its defense power..”

“If you use it for offense rather than defense that covers your entire body,?”

“..…yes?”

“For example, how about weaving emotions and vitality of this thickness as if making armor rather than cloth, and wrapping it around only one arm??”

Oliver thought deeply..

It is worn only on one arm, not the whole body, and is a black suit for attack rather than tight defense..

It seemed like a departure from the black suit Oliver had in mind, but it didn't seem impossible..

“wait a minute.”

Oliver took out two test tubes from his pocket..

Test tube filled with emotions and vitality.

Oliver extracted the emotions and vitality from two test tubes at the same time, transformed them into a thickness similar to Joe's, and wrapped them around his right hand, arm, and shoulder..

It feels like it's surrounded by rebar. It wasn't much better. In some ways, the attack power could have been superior..

As you increase the thickness, you can use more vitality and emotions..

“That's amazing. I never thought of it this way. I think it's quite possible.”

“really?”

“Yes, seriously. I think it would be better to use this a little faster. name is..… . Should I wear black armor?.”

Perhaps because of his poor naming sense, Joe's expression was not very good. But I didn't bother.

“Then, can you teach me mainly about that??”

When a goal was created that could be reached more quickly, Oliver nodded and rolled up his sleeves..

In order to make a black suit, I had to install the control ability to pull out emotions like thread, but the black armor I just made was able to go straight to the assembly stage..

“Well, I'll teach you as soon as possible. I also have work to do.”

“huh? what to do?”

“It's no big deal. There is a skill I want to develop..”

***

Oliver returned right after that day and went to work on his own..

Although it was only a day, I taught Joe step by step how to wear black armor on his arms and legs..

After extracting emotions and vitality from the size of the rebar, he even wrote down on paper how to weave it according to the corresponding area..

The assembly task was also quite difficult for Joe, but with Oliver helping him with one-on-one repeated practice, he was able to attach it to the arms and legs on his own, although it took time..

The problem is that the time can be as long as 2 or 3 hours, or as short as 1 hour..

Still, it was important to be able to do it, so Oliver helped the gym until it closed and then returned home..

I was able to invest time into my research faster than expected due to an unexpected good idea..

The research Oliver was going to do was none other than magic, and he was trying to combine the magic of the spatial school with Merlin's technology..

"hmm......."

An empty basement in the accommodation. Oliver made a spitting voice, extracted his magic power, and cast magic on both of his hands..

Colorless and transparent magic gathered in Oliver's hands and gradually established order and system..

Along with that, the magic power gradually turns purple. After a while, purple magic condensed in Oliver's hand..

Grasp 1!

The condensed purple magic compressed like a dot in the air and then exploded, forming a small portal. The other paired portal was open in Oliver's other hand..

“Hoo..…."

Oliver sighed in relief..

After realizing that he could extract magic, Oliver practiced using spatial magic..

It wasn't for combat, but it had more convenience and externality than that..

However, living up to its name as a discipline that is extremely difficult to learn, Oliver could not use it on his own..

It was somehow possible to get to the preparation stage, but when you actually tried to open the portal, it collapsed..

It was determined that professional education was needed in this regard. But he couldn't just give up, so Oliver tried to find his own solution..

The method is to create not one, but two portals at the same time.,

Rather than opening one portal to create a path to another, it was creating two portals at the same time and connecting them..

Surprisingly, when this method was used, the two portals were connected and activated..

The location for making it was limited, and the size was only about the size of a fist..

Oliver saw great potential in this..

This alone doesn't have much value, but it is usable enough when combined with other things..

So Oliver went straight to the next step..

First, Oliver closed his eyes, deactivated the portal, converted it to magic, and then created the portal again..

There was almost no waste of horsepower..

As I did this repeatedly, I gradually felt the shape and flow of the magical power inherent in magic along my fingertips..

Create a portal, transform with magic, create a portal, transform with magic…….

The composition of the portal, created by relying on one's senses and talents, gradually took on a concrete form in one's mind..

This gave me a different joy than when I succeeded in magic..

Pajik....Pajijik.....!

As Oliver clenched his fist, the portal shattered into powder and turned into magic..

Oliver put his hands together, combined his magic power, and poured it into the ink bottle he had prepared in advance..

The condensed magical power turned into HLF (Hearthstone Liquefied Fuel) and seeped into the ink..

The book used by Merlin used an incomparable method, but Oliver first studied his own method, completely mixing magic and ink and then writing it on paper.

I started drawing the magic circle of the spatial magic I figured out earlier..

‘One huge circle and two small circles. A uniquely shaped net within a circle. And the connecting lines in the form of symmetrical tree roots..’

A magic circle was drawn on paper as if it had been drawn by machine, and after it dried, Oliver added paper over it and drew the same magic circle without a single error..

Ssuk- Ssuk- Ssuk- Ssssssuk-

After drawing the same magic circle on a piece of paper, Oliver placed two sheets at each end of the basement and then activated them by scattering magic..

The magical energy scattered in the air made contact with the paper, activating the magical ink and activating a portal on the paper..

The size of the portal was about the size of a hole, and the activation time was only 2 to 3 seconds, but it was sufficient..

It was a very, very big achievement..

Based on this, Oliver changed Duncan into a corpse doll, then added black magic and applied Oliver's style of spatial magic..

When I secured a new means of attack, I received a call from Forrest..

“I received a call from Arthur. They say they've secured Willes' location..“
