Genius Warlock-Episode 154
The meeting place that Forrest mentioned was a closed garbage incinerator on the outskirts of Area W..
It was said that this was an ambitious public facility created by a city council member from District W..
They said they plan to secure district finances by disposing not only of waste from Area W but also waste from other areas..
In fact, even in the early days of building the incinerator, it was said that the plan was in sync and played a role in securing the budget..
Garbage is always a troublesome problem.…..
However, soon a problem arose..
The enormous smoke and odor generated during the incineration process caused fatal discomfort to nearby residents, and soon a protest broke out to close the incinerator..
The city council member, who invested a significant amount of budget and even received advance payments from other districts, tried to maintain the incinerator somehow.,
Residents who learned that they would get sick from the smoke emitted from the incinerator protested even more fiercely, and it was not long before a war broke out between city council members and local residents..
Residents attacked the incinerator workers and sent them to the hospital, and even the city council members did not support them and secretly hired not only the police but also Pinkman to suppress the protests..
Of course, the series of processes was quite turbulent and was known throughout Landa, and the real estate market and image of Area W fell into abyss..
It contributed greatly to the slums becoming what they are today..
By the time the protests were barely suppressed and the incinerator was restarted, the Space School had entered the waste industry and was outcompeted, failing to recover even half of the original cost of constructing the incinerator and shutting it down..
As such, the incinerator failed to fulfill even half of its original role and remained as a symbol rather than a symbol of Area W..
“By the way, there is a Willis in a place like this.?”
Oliver, who came with Joe, Sam and Owen, asked Arthur..
Behind Arthur's back were the people he had seen at the waste disposal site last time..
A woman in a top hat armed with a magic gun, a man with a mechanical arm and goggles, a man armed with exoskeleton gloves, etc..
Everyone seemed well prepared..
"Yes, I heard it from a reliable source. I heard the local crime firm director helped out.."
Crime Firm Director. I heard it from Murphy..
He is the co-head of Randa's Crime Firm branch, and like city council members, there is one for each district or two..
They are said to be giants of the world behind Landa, and their influence extends to the entire United Kingdom..
“I don't understand, why is the Crime Firm director helping the remnants of the Liberty Independence Army??”
“rebel.”
“yes?”
“I've felt this for a long time, but it's the wrong expression. It's called the Freedom and Independence Army. Rebel is an accurate description..”
Arthur, a former soldier, skipped over that part because it did not fit the flow of the story..
Actually, it wasn't that strange. Whatever it was, he was also a soldier who fought for the United Kingdom. He could rather be said to be natural.
Oliver asked correcting himself..
“……Why is the Crime Firm director helping the remnants of the Kell rebels??”
"Well, the story goes that the director here is from Northland.."
“Northland.?”
“Yes, there are quite a few North Koreans who leave their poor hometowns and come down south. Anyway, the director's main business here was smuggling with Northland, and he mainly dealt in high-quality illegal potions, scrolls, and black magic items. I got to that level with that business, so I said it all..”
“..…Are you saying that Issa was doing business with the Kel rebels??”
“Well, I don't know the details. However, it is not impossible. The Kel rebels also need someone to trade with to secure funds, and there are always people who want to get good goods even if it means taking a little risk..”
Oliver nodded, somewhat understanding. This city definitely had that feeling..
For power and profit.
“So, is there any chance Crime Firm can help??”
“That's impossible. When our broker investigated, it was confirmed that due to the situation, they decided to provide only a space to rest and take care of other matters. Well, if you are caught helping the rebels, you will be subject to treason laws. That's not something that can be solved with a bribe or two. There will never be any outside intervention. yes. McBoer?”
Arthur asked, turning his head and looking at his colleague with a mechanical arm and goggles..
He wore a large telescope-like device on top of his goggles and looked around..
“I think so, there are only about 40 people in the incinerator and there are no other people around except those who are presumed to be beggars..”
There were about forty people, which seemed like a sufficient number to try..
Arthur's staff consisted of twelve people, all of whom received support from the city and were armed with the latest equipment, and Oliver's staff was also useful in its own way..
Of course, the members of the Kel Free Independence Army may not be so easy, but it seemed worth the effort..
Oliver asked Arthur.
“Can I ask what your plans are? I understand that Mr. Arthur is in charge of the field position..”
“yes. Thank you for willingly accepting.”
“No, I'm not good at conducting things, so it's okay. Rather, the operation?”
Arthur pointed directly at McBore, who was wearing goggles and a mechanical arm..
He took out four clay models resembling birds from his bag..
Judging from the form in which magical energy was flowing, it seemed to be a golem..
"McBoer will stir things up first with that golem. It's nothing special, just throwing a few grenades and shooting guns. Still, it's enough to distract you.."
Oliver nodded..
“Then, Richard and I will take the lead and enter at once. At that time, Dave, you can sweep it away with your powerful firepower..”
Oliver nodded..
After disturbing the golem, dig in with manpower with high defense and sweep in with powerful firepower..
It was a simple, yet effective method..
“After that, it's time for everyone to fight. Even if you ask them to cooperate further than this, it won't work out anyway. Is there any problem??”
Oliver saw Joe and his group. They also nodded as if they were fully convinced..
“..…doesn't exist.”
“Okay then, let's begin..”
***
The operation began with Arthur's declaration..
As Arthur said, the first move is McBore..
Wearing a mechanical arm and goggles, he launched four bird-golems..
The bird-golem flew with the power of magic and went down to the middle of the incinerator, and then boom! bang! I heard a bomb explode.
“good! All close combatants, including Richard, charge into charge formation.!”
At Arthur's call, Richard, wearing exoskeleton armor, took out a shield and a huge sword and stood at the forefront, while close combatants wearing armored cloaks formed a V-shape..
Starting with the exoskeleton armor, the magic power contained in the steel cloak slowly moved, and the blue magic particles gathered together to develop a translucent magic shield..
I remember the guards using something similar to this when they broke into the Mattel basement..
“This will be able to block everything unless it is a cannonball or equivalent firepower magic. dave.”
Oliver nodded and stood right behind the vanguard with Joe and the rest of the ranged support staff following behind them..
Arthur shouted as the formation was formed..
"Well then, let's get to work, guys.!"
Richard, wearing exoskeleton gloves, increased the output of the gloves and rushed forward..
Push! Push! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
He jumped forward with a mechanical sound, and the rest of the workforce followed him..
As he entered the incinerator, machines that turned into pieces of scrap metal and piles of illegally dumped garbage blocked his path, but Richard went straight ahead, destroying not only the obstacles but also the wall by swinging a huge knife that was almost blunt..
When I saw the torn drum, I thought it could cut up more than ten people at once..
bang-!! Quack! Faba-Puck!!
As we rushed forward, breaking down small obstacles, we soon saw the remnants of the Kel Freedom Army..
They looked disorganized because of the bird-golem that suddenly invaded, and even Richard couldn't help but be embarrassed when he checked..
“It's an intruder!”
However, that doesn't mean there was no response. When they saw Richard breaking through the wall, the enemies turned their guns on him..
“Shield Deployment!”
Close combatants, including Richard, immediately increased the output of the equipment, increasing the strength and range of the shield..
"dave!"
"yes."
As he answered, Oliver strengthened the warlock's vision..
As the world became dark, ordinary people's vision became blurred, and instead, emotions began to appear clearly..
Those in front of you, as well as those beyond the wall or far away.
‘hmm..… . I'm preparing something.’
Oliver cast a targeting spell on the enemies, then created a black dart with a lath boom in one hand and threw it into the air..
The black lump of emotion transformed into countless blades in the air and each flew towards its target, drawing a deformed curve..
Shaaaaa!! As soon as the sharp sound of cutting through the wind hit the target, a small explosion occurred..
pop! Puff! bang!!
A small but accurate explosion. Numerous screams rang out, and the enemies fell into confusion..
When the shooting stopped for a moment, Arthur stretched out the golem's arm forward at the right time..
The large amount of magical power flowing within the golem's prosthetic hand increased rapidly, converged into one point, and was then fired..
The laser made of magical energy flew in a straight line and caused extensive damage to the surrounding area.,
With that, the shield disappeared and Richard and other close combat personnel and Joe's group charged in and began close combat with the enemies..
Richard pushed in with his colleagues and cut the enemies in pieces by swinging a huge sword, and Joe and his group also worked together to take down the enemies..
Sam provided support with dual pistols, and Owen destroyed obstacles and enemies with an iron club, but Joe's performance was the most notable..
He imbued his body with black magic that increased agility and then crushed his enemies by wearing only his fists with the black armor that Oliver had given him..
To some extent, even though a disease-type warlock attacked him by inflating his body to nearly twice its size, Joe was thrown into the wall with a single outstretched fist..
bang-! Kwakwang!!
quite an impressive scene.
Not only Sam and Owen, but also Arthur's group stopped for a moment and looked surprised..
“Oh, that's amazing..”
Arthur said with sincere admiration as he flew his golem prosthetic hand to destroy the enemy and spewed flames with his other hand..
"To be honest, I decided to work with him because of you, and he's pretty good. Thanks to you, my job is much easier."
it was true.
Not only Joe and his group, but also Arthur's close combatants were pushing forward and crushing the Kel free and independent army.,
Long-distance combatants, including women in top hats, quickly climbed up each building and took advantageous positions..
While keeping enemies in check with general weapons, he inflicted serious damage on enemies by inflicting attacks greater than those of heavy weapons with magic guns..
It was being pushed unilaterally. At least on the outside.
“It doesn't seem like the enemies have given up either..”
Oliver said, looking at the emotional states of his enemies..
It was true that I was confused and afraid, but it didn't seem like I had given up completely..
Rather, I was waiting for something.
Arthur also nodded in agreement..
“That's right. We're being pushed around, but we're not falling apart. I'm trying to pass the time somehow. Since Willes is an excellent wizard, he might be preparing something. You never know what a skilled wizard will do even if you give him just a little time..”
It was then. A beep rang from the communication device in Arthur's front pocket..
[ah. ah. Leader.]
Beep - Arthur answered, pressing the communication device..
“McBoer. what's the matter?”
[Rebels are running away inside the incinerator..]
“I know that. I'm pushing it.”
[Push faster. Trying to start the incinerator.]
“incinerator?”
[Well, didn't Wallace say it was the Elemental School, or even the Agni School? Absorbing the firepower of the incinerator is a pain in the ass..]
Agni School.
I remembered seeing it in the wanted information..
It is one of the minor schools belonging to the Elemental School, and is said to be a school that specializes in fire magic..
Although it is somewhat weakened now, it was nevertheless a school with a long and strong tradition, engaged in various activities in both the fields of war and industry..
Arthur shouted, his embarrassment shining..
“Does that make sense?! This incinerator has been closed for over 10 years.?”
[How would I know? All I can confirm is that the machine is running now. Now- Pod!! Jjijijijijijijiji!! now! now… … Oops, I just got hit with the last pick. Sorry, there's nothing more I can do..]
“Damn it!”
Arthur was truly annoyed..
It wasn't that I didn't understand. If you really operate the incinerator and absorb its firepower, it won't be that burdensome..
The power of magic was as big as that of heaven and earth, depending on how the surrounding environment was utilized..
said Oliver, who would understand the situation..
“If we continue like this, it will be dangerous.?”
“yes! I can't help it. We have no choice but to get inside quickly, even if it's too much trouble..”
“Well, I'll go inside first, and Arthur, please bring your people with you as quickly as possible..”
“what?”
Instead of answering Arthur's question, Oliver put on a black suit and added black magic to it..
The translucent black curtain surrounding the body turned dark and began to emit high output..
Perhaps because I was inspired by teaching Joe and improved the structure of the black suit, the efficiency seemed to be much better than before..
‘The main lines are held together with thick thread, and the surrounding area is connected with dense thread to ensure flexibility. . I should write it down.’
In that state, Oliver concentrated black magic energy on his legs and ran forward and then jumped..
He jumped up the second floor of the building in one go, climbed the wall, and quickly dug into the center of the incineration device..
Several enemies fired guns to interfere, but it seemed difficult to hit Oliver, who was moving quickly from high above..
Like that, Oliver leisurely dug into the center of the incinerator..
When we arrived at the center, we saw about a dozen people there preparing to operate the machine..
I don't know much about machinery, but it appears that part of the discarded incinerator was somehow activated..
To be honest, I was curious as to what he would do since I had never met a fire mage, but Oliver decided to put work first..
After extracting the emotions from my hands, I chanted..
[black darts]
