Genius Warlock-Episode 161

Royal greetings and the devil's bargain.

This was a huge scandal.

It was a fact that even Oliver, who was still not that bright about the world, knew, not to mention Arthur and the others..

Their emotions fluctuated like lightning with shock, surprise, and fear..

“..…Explain exactly what bullshit this is..”

Arthur's sharp question. Willes answered.

“A royal figure donated a young boy to a bizarre foundation. I stabbed him in the heart with a dagger and smeared his blood on my face. Hewitt saw through the world tree."

“Who is it?”

Wallace shook his head..

"The advance fee ends here. More detailed information will be provided once the job is successfully completed..”

Arthur could not ask any more questions due to Willes' firm answer and look in his eyes..

Instead, I asked Oliver with my eyes. Is that true?.

Oliver nodded..

“Whoops..…."

Arthur thought while taking a deep breath. He soon made up his mind.

“what should we do?”

***

All Willes wanted was cover..

MacBoer, who has a large amount of magic equipment, explores the surroundings and provides support.,

They hoped that Arthur, wearing a high-performance golem prosthetic arm, and Donna, a sniper, would provide cover for them..

Oliver, a warlock, was asked to serve as backup firepower in case of escape..

Arthur and the others all agreed to this. Beyond agreeing, it was a very welcoming atmosphere.

The fact that they only played a supporting role rather than a direct attack on the kingdom's army somewhat alleviated their psychological resistance and discomfort..

Maybe that's what they were aiming for from the beginning.

When we first met this man or when we met in the basement, this man named Willes seemed straightforward, but he had sharp judgment inside him..

'By the way, you seem serious..’

Oliver thought as he looked at Arthur and the other colleagues waiting silently in the rear..

McBoer, who took out numerous small golems from his magic bag, focused on the image projected from the goggles and manipulated the golems by flicking his finger in the air, while Donna prepared to provide cover with a sniper rifle..

It holds a variety of items, including a simple sniper rifle, a magic gun loaded with chemicals instead of bullets, and a grenade that fires bombs, and is prepared for quick replacement in case of emergency..

Not all of them were small in size, but surprisingly, they were easily removed from the magic bag..

Oliver also didn't stay still, but instead extracted his emotions and placed minions around him who fed him some black magic..

It wasn't that big of a deal, but it was something that could hinder many people..

".....dave."

“yes? Mr. Arthur?”

“Let me ask you again. Was it real??”

A sudden question from Arthur, who had been silent until now. Oliver answered.

“Yes, I don't know if the story itself is true or not, but at least Mr. Willes was sincere when he told it..”

“That's right..…."

Arthur trails off with his serious emotions shining through. Oliver asked.

“If you don't mind, can I ask a question??”

“what?”

“I thought only warlocks made pacts with the devil, but can other people do it too??”

Oliver half lied.

I knew that wizards also made deals with the devil, but they didn't talk about it. He has no reason to speak.

“well… .. What do I, an ignorant veteran, know??”

“Oh, sorry. I thought you knew more about the world than me..”

Arthur opened his mouth as if he felt responsible for those words..

“It's not like it's an urban legend.”

“It's an urban legend.?”

“okay.… . Although it is on the same level as the devil who cooks and eats people for reasons such as youth, health, and energy,.”

“Still, Mr. Willes said it sincerely, isn't it true??”

“Save your words.”

Arthur said in a serious voice. His emotions were clouded with worry, concern, and anxiety..

“..…This is something that could easily cause a huge empire that rules the whole world to tremble. Watch your mouth. Just don't say anything about it.."

“..…Oh, sorry..”

Arthur's feelings became serious again..

I was burning with greed as if I was facing gold, but at the same time I was nervous and afraid. And I was worried. very deep anguish.

It seemed like a huge shock to him that a member of the royal family was involved with the devil..

As Arthur's anguish deepened, darkness and silence fell heavily around him..

Meanwhile, McBore, who was watching and assisting Willes and his group with a small golem, opened his mouth..

“It's the beginning.”

At the same time as he said that, there was a loud noise and a red-hot flame erupted from below..

The target of Willes' attack was none other than the kingdom's reserve force for support..

Originally, they had planned to attack and lure the small forces guarding each road instead of them, but when Arthur and his group were added, they changed their plan and immediately attacked the reserve force..

The risk will increase, but it will attract more attention..

‘I never thought I would be able to figure out the location of the hidden kingdom army. It seems that the Kel Freedom and Independence Army is more hidden and more capable than I thought. I never thought I would know all the locations.'

Then, the flames roared once again..

As if it had been hit by artillery fire, a huge pillar of fire shook in many directions, spreading fire to the surrounding forest..

The huge flame burned the air and roared like a monster.,

With that, most of the kingdom's army fell into confusion, shock, fear, and panic..

no it wasn't just them.

The animals living in the forest also got up from their seats and fled far away due to the untimely disaster.,

Other troops near the reserve were also confused and did not know what to do..

‘There are some people who aren't.’

While Willes and his companions used the fire that had spread around them to create more flames and crush the reserve unit, another reserve unit that was in the distance ran towards Willes..

Thanks to quick decisions and quick moves..

Normally he should have retreated here, but Willes didn't..

Instead, in hopes of attracting more attention, they conserved their strength by drawing on magic power and surrounding flames until the kingdom's army was right in front of them..

pababababat——!!

A white flash of light exploded in the path of the kingdom army that was providing support, and at the same time, a mine was triggered and hit the kingdom army..

This is the work of magic equipment expert McBore, who monitored the surroundings and rearranged the golems accordingly..

The kingdom army that had come to support McBore's appropriate surprise attack was disorganized and helpless, like a swarm of ants hit by water, and just in time, a wizard with high density of magical power quickly approached and spewed out magical energy all at once..

Pillar of fire spreading widely.

Oliver concentrated on his eyes..

Numerous emotions and life forces, presumed to be the kingdom's army, rushed towards us all at once..

McBoer spoke into the communication device..

“Attraction success. retreat. retreat.”

The communication target is Willes..

The answer came back through the communication device saying that I understood..

As Willes began to retreat, the kingdom army, which had been struggling, quickly reorganized its battle lines and chased after them, but they were slower than Willes and his group, whose bodies were strengthened with magic, and the distance continued to widen..

Even there.-

“support.”

Donna supported Willes' side with a sniper rifle..

Tung-! Tung-!

To the sound of dull gunfire, the Kingdom soldiers who were chasing Willes fell after being shot in the leg, and the Kingdom soldiers took their injured comrades and took cover to avoid the snipers..

My ankle was grabbed, but I thought I could run away like this..

"huh?"

Suddenly I heard a loud machine sound..

Giiiiiiing———!!!

High-output horsepower energy rising from the bottom of the slope.

It jumped up at an incredible speed.

It was a Kingdom soldier wearing exoskeleton armor, 1.5 times larger than the model Oliver had seen in Landa..

And it wasn't just big..

Complex magical energy flows through the body, and a huge amount of magical energy emanates from the mechanisms attached to the front breastplate and both shoulders, deploying a shield in three directions..

The hexagonal blue magic shield had a wide defense range and was strong enough to protect not only the user but also nearby allies..

It was so hard that it didn't budge even when Donna switched to a magic gun and fired high-powered magic bullets..

Oliver focused his eyes and took a closer look at the magic shield on the exoskeleton armor..

The amount of magical power was also positive, but when attacked, magical energy was instantly concentrated in the affected area, increasing the defense power by three to four times that of the existing shield..

Truly amazing technology. Arthur muttered as if to prove this..

“These are exoskeleton gloves imported from Gallos. I was very determined.”

“do you know about that?”

“I fought. Even wizards have a hard time with full options. If you don't drop it now, you'll be in trouble.”

As soon as he answered, Golem Arthur stretched out his prosthetic arm and aimed at the running exoskeleton armor..

The magic power and stone moved, creating a hole in the center of the prosthetic palm..

Push. Tsuzzzzzzzzzz-

Magic power gathered between holes. Oliver intervened..

“wait a minute.”

“Something?”

“I will do it. First of all, save your energy..”

With those words, Oliver extracted the emotions from the test tube and processed them with black magic..

The distance was a bit far, but it was still close..

Black smoke that transformed emotions passed through Willes and was activated in front of a soldier armed with exoskeleton armor..

[Outcry)]

The black smoke clumped together and turned into numerous faces..

With a very angry face.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!!!!

The cry of anger fired a shock wave along with the noise, causing a direct hit to the exoskeleton armor in front..

The soldier must have had a good sense and immediately put the shields together to increase defense..

Thanks to this, the shield did not break, but only shook..

Like a glass that vibrates to the tune of a high note.

That was enough.

Oliver concentrated his eyes, condensed his emotions into his fingertips, and fired bullets of hatred in time with the beat at the shield where the magical particles were shaking..

The shield, which vibrated and shook with shouts of anger, had no choice but to weaken, and when the bullet hit the weak spot at the right time, the shield was penetrated..

Small cracks that appear between neatly drilled holes.

The magic shield shattered like a glass window along the crack..

“minion.”

At Oliver's call, the minions planted earlier rose from the ground and burst like water balloons..

The blister contained within the minion also spread in all directions and launched a biochemical attack on the kingdom soldiers inside the exoskeleton armor and behind it..

The kingdom soldiers who were following were hit directly, and dark purple blisters appeared on their faces.,

The soldier inside the exoskeleton armor also fell into a groggy state, suffering from pain as if he had been hit through a gap in the armor..

“This is enough. Move according to plan.”

Arthur said, looking at the chase that had stopped. Everyone immediately followed his words to see if they agreed..

Since there was enough damage and attention, not only the nearby troops but also the troops in this area will move..

If that happens, the chances of Hewitt getting out have increased..

From now on it's a race against time.

Now all they had to do was to shake off the chase, collect the balance from Willes, and disperse to escape..

'huh..…?’

While running away, Oliver felt something strange and stopped..

Everyone was puzzled by Oliver's sudden behavior..

“what's the matter?”

Instead of answering Arthur's question, Oliver activated black magic. That too very quickly.

[targeting]

The target is Oliver himself, Arthur and Willis..

Each person's body was scattered in all directions and flew towards the dart board carved into the surrounding rocks and trees..

The activation speed was so fast that no one except Willes, who flinched, could react, and fortunately this turned out to be good luck..

Because thanks to that, I was able to barely avoid the explosion on the ground..

Fuwang——! pop! Puff disease!! pop!! Tongue!!

Thanks to the explosion that erupted like an active volcano, trees were uprooted, shattered and blown away, and dirt fell from above like rain..

As the fire spread around and turned the area bright red, just as Willes attacked the kingdom's army, a man walked out of the ground..

A man with black hair and red skin.

Oliver saw him for the first time today, but they weren't exactly strangers..

When Oliver first met and fought Wallace, he could feel him from afar..

“You are a military wizard..”

Oliver asked the red-skinned wizard who was silently looking at him with cold eyes..
