Genius Warlock - Episode 18
18. storm (2)
Oliver and Andrew and his group moved along the back alley to the back of the factory..
Even while moving, the front door is a bit jarring! A blue flash of light flashed across the street, followed by more screams and more gunshots..
someone said.
“They say there is a wizard, but it looks like it's real. Trap magic... The preparation is thorough..”
“doesn't care. It would be easier for us if we drew attention like that. I won't be able to pay much attention to the back..”
“Wouldn't they have set up a trap in the back as well??”
Andrew stopped for a moment at those words..
If you think about it, it was an entirely natural story. There was a high possibility that a trap had been set up even on the poorly defended side..
After thinking for a moment, Andrew suddenly turned his head and looked at Oliver..
“Oliver, you take the lead..”
“yes?”
“Since you have sharp senses, you will be able to avoid traps. is not it? therefore. you take the lead.”
This is ridiculous and unreasonable. However, Oliver could only nod his head..
Because I instinctively knew that if I refused to follow orders here, something big would happen..
From the first time Andrew nominated Oliver, something didn't seem right, but now that I look around, I see nothing but hostile people..
These are the kind of people who will cause harm at any time if there are enough incidents..
Without realizing it, Oliver has fallen into a well-planned trap..
“Let's start again.”
When Oliver had no choice but to take the lead, Andrew, who was behind him, said.
Of course, Oliver followed the command and moved again, but even though he was invisible, he could feel Andrew's murderous intent behind his back..
He was now as much against Oliver as he was against his enemies..
Oliver couldn't understand why he was doing this. What on earth did he do??
However, these questions also disappeared due to Oliver's unique survival instinct..
What matters now is not why Andrew is doing this, but getting out of this situation..
Perhaps, if Oliver's intuition was correct, there was a very high probability that he would be in danger if he continued like this..
Nevertheless, Oliver ran forward without showing any outward signs. He would be in more danger if he was discovered..
How can we get out of this crisis??
While I was thinking about that, suddenly the streetlights that were on sporadically around me suddenly turned off..
“huh?”
“what?”
In an instant, the surrounding area was engulfed in darkness, and along with it, several balls of light were seen flying from the upper floors of the factory building..
[magic missile]
Masses of magic pouring down like a shower.
Andrew and his group, who were already moving down a narrow alley, were unable to escape like rats trapped in poison and had no choice but to stand there dumbfounded..
Then, Andrew shouted.
“Everyone defend! black shielder!”
Everyone came to their senses at that shout and spread a black curtain in the upward direction from where the magic missile was flying..
Papang-! Fabapang-!! phut! phut―!!
The magic missile that flew at high speed was blocked by a black curtain and exploded like a firecracker in the air..
The surroundings suddenly became brighter with colorful colors. At the right time, the enemy gangsters hiding behind the wall came out and opened fire all at once..
“Grind! Grind! Kill them all!”
“Aaaah! Search everything!”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo――――!!!
Muzzle flame flashing with a loud sound.
The Black Shielder, which was deployed to block magic missiles raining down from the sky, actually had a hard time blocking bullets fired from the front, but because it was in the dark, the response was even more delayed..
If it had been normal, the lead warlocks would have collapsed in response to the flashing muzzle flames..
But that didn't happen.
This is because Oliver, who caught them first, deployed a huge black shield towards the front..
Ting-! widely! Tadididang--! widely--! Tapping-!
With a dull sound, all the bullets were blocked by the black barrier..
But Oliver wasn't satisfied with that..
He quickly expelled his emotions and imposed a target on the gangsters who came out..
[targeting]
The expelled emotions flew away like smoke and turned into targets on the bodies of enemies..
As soon as he confirmed the target, Oliver immediately shot Hate Bullet..
“100 million-!”
“What?-!”
“Keck!”
A bullet of hatred that hits the target precisely. The person who appeared to be the leader shouted as he defeated several enemy gangsters at once..
“shit! It's a counterattack. counterattack. Just pull it back.”
Rather than the surprise attack working, the gang was counterattacked and ran away without even looking back, and at that very moment, Andrew shouted..
“Okay, the enemies run away. Follow me like this! You charge, you support the wizard! Don't miss it!”
Following that instruction, half of our warlocks ran at once and attacked the fleeing gangsters, while the other half fired Hate Bullets at the wizard shooting magic missiles from the upper floor of the factory to cover our allies..
“Jeez, damn it.!”
“Mr. Geese-!”
“Ahh-!”
The gangsters who were running away with their backs turned were hit by hate bullets and fell one by one..
Everyone was excited, perhaps because of the sudden battle, but Oliver was the only one who did not join the ranks, leaving himself to the darkness and calmly looking around..
Although my vision was blocked by the darkness, my third eye, which sees emotions, that is, the black magician's eye, was functioning, so I had no difficulty in understanding the situation..
“eww···. hmm?”
Oliver realized something strange..
The gangsters were clearly scared and ran away, but the wizard who was exchanging attacks with the warlocks above the factory was very calm..
As if waiting for something.
Although he didn't know what it was specifically, Oliver, who had a bad feeling, spread out his black shield and wrapped it around his body like armor..
In preparation for any unexpected situation..
At that time, an unusual energy occurred at the front door..
There seemed to be a flash of blue like before, and then suddenly, as if a thorn had sprouted, a huge streak of lightning shot up from the ground to the sky, brightening up the surrounding area..
Crumbling rumbling――――!!!
“······!!!”
Everyone stopped in shock at the threatening yet alien sight and turned their heads toward the front door. However, this was an obvious mistake.
I had to prepare, not stand still..
“Hey, what's going on? What's going on??!”
Andrew put his hand to his ear and asked the front door attendant, but instead of answering, what came back was the dazzling blue lightning he had seen from the front door..
It flew this way from the front door in just a few seconds.,
Before anyone could react, it spread like an explosion and swept away the surrounding area in an instant..
Regardless of warlocks and gangs..
I’m not going to fall in, I’m not going to fall out―――――!!!
“That play····!”
“······!!!”
“Wow·····!”
Of course, Oliver was also caught up in the shock, and a pain so intense that it could be said to be the first time in his life went straight up his spine and into his brain..
My hair turns completely white.
It was a shame because he was wearing a black shield around his body. If he hadn't been wearing it, he would have been roasted along with the countless corpses on the streets right now..
Even so, instant death was avoided..
Oliver half voluntarily lay down with the corpses and pretended to be dead..
I felt like I vaguely understood why everyone was afraid after hearing the story about wizards..
Meanwhile, a man took off the lightning wrapped around his body and landed on the ground in disarray..
It seemed like he was a wizard..
“joy! I jumped at the topic of fake wizards with such vigor that I was hoping to see if there was anything, but there was nothing..”
“Did I tell you? There is no way there is someone who can deal with you. No, it didn't make sense in the first place. Even at the Magic Tower, you were considered a genius..”
The wizard who was keeping the warlocks in check on the upper floor of the factory said as he gently came down on the wind..
The Lightning Wizard spoke again.
“Still, I thought there was something. They say he's a guy who works hard in this neighborhood... For a fight that first appeared in the Magic Tower, it's too boring..”
“It's the same for you too... What should I do more than that? Our kids suffered a lot too..”
The wizard said, pointing to his gang of subordinates lying fried and fried around him..
The lightning wizard was just calm..
“it's okay. They're the ones who fill up the crowd anyway. As soon as the news spreads that we won, they will come from all over. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to change the water at this point..”
Oliver could tell he meant it..
I still don't know what kind of being a wizard is, but I could tell that their thoughts are different from those of ordinary people..
Would you say I'm a bit self-conscious??
“Anyway, good. I've sorted out this place, so let's go to the front door and go to the back.-”
Shhhhhhhhhhh! Papapak!
When a black bullet suddenly flew in, the wizard stopped what he was saying and deployed his magical power to deploy a shield..
When I looked at the end of the attack, I saw Andrew standing there with a black veil on all sides..
When everyone else was struck by lightning, perhaps because he was the second-in-command in the family, he was the only one who put up a shield to protect himself. You even attack there?····.
However, as if that alone was not enough to make the wizards nervous, the lightning wizard said:.
“Hehe... Still, there is someone who defended it? He's a wizard?”
“Can I help you?”
“No, that's enough. I want to see the skills of this warlock. I roughly cleaned up the front door anyway, so it wouldn’t really matter if I didn’t go..”
With those words, the lightning wizard once again gathered magical power..
I could see the clear blue magic power gradually gathering, and as if Andrew wasn't a fool, he attacked right away..
“Hate bullet! Lars Boom! black javelin!”
Bullets of hatred, bombs of anger, and black javelins flew quickly and struck the lightning wizard..
Unfortunately, instead of deploying a shield, the wizard once again covered his body with lightning and quickly dodged it..
Efficient strategy to prevent meaningless war of attrition.
After dodging, I sent a blast of electricity..
“lightning!”
“black shielder!”
Falling in love――――!
A blue electric current flew out with an ear-ringing sound, but was blocked by a black curtain..
However, it was not completely prevented, but due to electricity's unique vitality and independence, it spread to the surrounding area and caused indirect damage even though it was blocked..
Although it wasn't fatal, Andrew felt constant pain, and eventually spread his black shield wide, creating a round, full-body shield once again..
“black marble!”
It was then. The wizard quickly closed the distance as if he was aiming and struck the shield with his magical hand..
“Electronic Explosion!!”
Once again, a huge bolt of lightning exploded and brightened up the surrounding area..
When the flash subsided, what was visible was Andrew with burns all over his body and one arm blown off..
“under····. Is this the limit to the level of fake wizards??”
The lightning wizard said while looking down at Andrew..
Despite his disappointed exterior, he was filled with a huge sense of superiority on the inside, and seemed very satisfied with his victory..
And other fellow wizards were also let down their guard and were on edge..
At that very moment, Oliver, who had been lying down pretending to be dead, jumped up and shot Hatbullit with both hands..
Perhaps because the attack came at a completely unexpected time, the wizard nearby was unable to react and was pierced in vain..
“Colin······?”
Unfortunately, the most difficult Lightning Wizard quickly dodged it..
The lightning wizard who dodged the attack came to the fallen wizard and checked his condition..
His emotions were fluctuating with shock and sadness, and in the meantime, Oliver slowly and quietly walked away, creating a small sphere called a 'minion'..
It was very difficult to deal with the wizard alone, but at that moment, the wizard called Oliver over..
“stop.”
Oliver stopped and looked back..
The wizard, whose magic and emotions were fluctuating, glared at Oliver with sparkling eyes..
“you····. I'll kill you.”
“hmm···. I don't like that.”
Oliver answered, scattering the minions in the air so they wouldn't be noticed..
