Genius Warlock-Episode 245
“Kurururururuk.... . Kuturururuk. Sigh."
Big Mouth swallowed Mother Bathory piece by piece with his toothy zippered mouth..
Left leg first, right leg second. Then I swallowed both arms..
It looked similar to a toad swallowing a large piece of food..
"Here's your head.”
“Guruk."
Oliver flipped Bathory's head, and Big Mouth swallowed it like candy..
"Now, just the body... huh?”
As Oliver and Bathory lifted up Bathory's torso, they noticed something spilling out from under her tattered dress..
It was a red notebook with a protective spell on it..
“Big Mouth. Could you please swallow this??”
Oliver handed Bathory's body to Big Mouth with his eyes fixed on the red notebook..
Big Mouth swallowed the limbs and headless body like a goose with its protruding arms, while Oliver put his hand on his notebook..
Dismissal 1!
The fingertips didn't even touch, but as it got closer, the blood-red magic planted in the notebook reacted and repelled Oliver's hand..
"hmm......"
Oliver waved his hand to shake off the pain, then drew up the magic stored in his body to try to erode the notebook's defensive magic..
A fairly high-quality defensive spell protected the notebook by generating sparks with a rejection reaction, but as it continued to encroach, Oliver soon figured out the structure and pattern of the spell..
Defense magic that unlocks like a lock and disappears into thin air..
Oliver picked up the notebook and looked inside..
Paralarang 一
Inside the notebook, all kinds of foreign languages, including the Kingdom language, were mixed in red ink..
Oliver soon realized what kind of list this was..
A list consisting of a person's name and two dates..
[Josephine Thetbot • 22/2/21 • 22/12/1 Like this.
Although he had no idea what the list was about, Oliver, who sensed through defensive magic that it was not an ordinary item, continued to look at the customer list..
Then my gaze stopped at a certain point..
"uh..… . This person is still alive?”
***
Oliver used the pool of blood to climb back up from the lowest level of the Chimera Lab..
The bright red meat hammer and big mouse were calmly organized and placed in a magic bag, so when I came up, I came up alone..
"Well, now slowly-”
“-What are you going to do soon??”
Oliver looked back..
Behind him stood a haggard-faced Willes, holding a long sword like a cane..
Oliver looked at him and said calmly:.
"You woke up.”
"Thanks to.”
Willes answered, holding up a wound on his torso that had been hastily sutured with potion and an empty potion bottle..
Fortunately, it seemed like Oliver was able to provide first aid on his own, as he took care of Willes when he threw him into the portal..
“Did the potion work??”
“Uh, unlike when you sprayed it, the pain from the wound went away and it recovered when you sprayed it again..”
When Oliver sprayed it, it would be when he first met Bathory, and after the pain went away, it would be after Bathory died..
"Were you awake at that time??”
"Just a little bit. So I know how the great stratum works..... Thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.”
Willes spoke honestly. And that was absolutely correct..
Whatever it was, I miraculously survived thanks to Oliver..
If Oliver had shown up a little later, or had not used a warming spell, a portal, or a potion, Willes would have died from exhaustion or got caught up in the battle..
Willes also did not know this. So even though I had a lot to say, I got up and thanked Oliver first..
"Oh, I'm glad. Mr. Willes thanked me..”
“I know I don't have a good personality, but that doesn't mean I'm someone who doesn't know grace... ..Can I sit down for a moment??”
Wallace asked with shaky legs, and Oliver nodded..
Willis sat down in a cold sweat..
Oliver approached Willis and held out a potion..
“....you?"
Willes asked, looking at Oliver, who was injured, although not as badly as he was..
"I have something to drink too..”
When Oliver showed a new recovery potion in his arms, Willes took a sip of the potion..
The injuries and damage were so severe that even after drinking another bottle, my strength did not fully recover, but I was able to take a breather to some extent..
"Phew..…"
Wallace sighed and looked around. The surrounding area was devastated as if he had been hit by artillery fire..
“..…Did you finish it??”
Question with many words omitted. However, Oliver, who had just fought Bathory, vaguely understood the meaning..
"I was lucky.”
"That's amazing.”
Wallace spoke plainly, but with such sincerity..
I knew how strong she was after dealing with Bathory..
Not only did she not die, but she could freely use each type of magic, and her unique blood magic was so threatening that it could even neutralize the fire magic that Willes had practiced throughout his life..
I don't know how he took it down, but in the end, the outcome of a fight is everything.
Willes realized and admitted that the warlock in front of him was stronger than him..
He was truly amazing..
In just a few months, I have become so strong that I think I am a completely different person..
But what was more surprising was his attitude. His attitude has barely changed since I first saw him..
In this crazy world where survival of the fittest is a virtue, a person's attitude and personality change instantly as power becomes stronger..
"Can I ask you a question??”
“yes? Oh, please tell me as much as you want.”
"It's hard to say this as someone who received help, but what was the reason you helped me??”
asked Willes. Honestly, if you think about it calmly, it would be better for Dave if he died..
He is almost the only person who knows that Dave hides his identity and works at the Magic Tower. It was much safer without him.
Of course, he had no choice but to cooperate due to the timing and situation, but it made little sense from Dave's perspective to actively save the day when he was stretched out..
It would have been much easier to keep his secret if he had been left to die quietly..
"Why did you save me? .. First of all, we work together.?”
Oliver tilted his head and answered. It was like answering the obvious questions of why we eat and why we sleep..
"Oh, and I also have something to ask you..”
"I have a question to ask?”
"yes..… . can i ask?”
Oliver, who had been trying to hold back after seeing Willes' condition, couldn't overcome his curiosity again and asked..
“Phew... . Do you have alcohol or cigarettes??”
"There are both.”
Oliver took out alcohol, a cup, and a pack of each type of cigarette from his magic bag..
Willes looked at that in bewilderment..
“Why are you carrying it around??"
“I talked to other professors and staff, and they said that it would be easier to have a social life if you carry your favorite foods, such as alcohol or cigarettes... .. I also have a cigar. Would you like me to give it to you??”
“..…no it's okay.”
Willes asked as he looked at the incomprehensible being in front of him..
A man as strong as a monster was acting like a petty citizen. Of course, there were times when I acted boldly beyond my strength..
‘Just like he said he would stop the war wizard alone.…..’
Oliver kindly gave Wallace a cigarette, lit it with magic, and poured him a drink..
Willes happily smoked a cigarette and took a swig of alcohol..
“ha… ..I guess I will live. What should I ask??”
Oliver casually sat down opposite Willis with his butt pressed against his chest..
It was an insignificant action, but it meant that Oliver's interest was that great..
“While Mr. Willes was fighting Bathory, I was fighting the female warlocks here..”
“..…They must all be dead.”
"It wasn't intentional. Well, I just happened to see it….”
“Let's say that, but?"
"At that time, I also tried imitating Mr. Willes' fire magic..”
Willes said nothing..
His own flame, which was created by twisting the magic to absorb magical power, is a magic that is difficult to create and three times more difficult to handle..
But there was no burn on Oliver's face..
Proof that even though it was imitated on the spot, it was handled without difficulty..
It was an unreasonable amount of talent, but it was so overwhelming that I wasn't even angry..
“That's amazing.”
"What's great is Mr. Willes. After he tried it, I think he knew how much effort he put into it. I create that technique and use it freely... .. Indeed, you are amazing..”
Oliver spoke with sincerity, and his sincerity was conveyed to Willes..
Surprisingly, Willes, who could rise to the rank of Master of the Magic Tower if he wanted to, even felt a little proud of the praise from a kid younger than him..
"Thank you for the compliment..”
"I'm just sharing my thoughts... .. However, I don’t understand. You worked so hard, but why did you commit yourself to the Kel Free Independence Army?.”
It was a question that would normally make him angry, but Willes just laughed..
Because sometimes people are more important than words..
"Don't you understand??”
“Honestly, it doesn't work out well. I don't mean to insult Mr. Willes, but I've seen a little bit of how professors at the Magic Tower are treated... .. Why did you do that when there is a more convenient way than the Kell Free and Independent Army??”
Oliver asked the question, alternately recalling Randa's pursuit of wealth and power and Willes' struggle to hide his identity..
Willes smiled at those words and opened his mouth..
"A warlock like you could live comfortably anywhere, so why live like that, hiding your identity? Professors preparing cigarettes and alcohol?”
"that-”
“-That may not be the value you pursue. Things like money, fame, and pleasure.”
Oliver had nothing to say..
"I’m similar to that…. . Normally, I would talk a lot about the unfair occupation and rule of the kingdom, the oppression and exploitation of the Kel people, and the resulting legitimacy of our Kel free and independent army, but I'll leave it at that... . I'm not at the level to teach you..”
"Is there a level to teach and receive instruction in what is lacking??”
"Still, I refuse. I don't have time.”
Willes took out a pocket watch from his pocket and showed it. As he said, there was no time..
The day was slowly getting brighter..
The truck would be back soon, maybe they'd send someone from another lab nearby..
I had a pretty loud fight with Bathory..
"receive.”
Wallace held out a dagger to Oliver..
It was a dagger used to rescue hostages on a train. Upon closer inspection, the blade had a unique checkered pattern..
"what is this?”
"Alcohol and cigarettes... ..Take this to the Kell community and you can get help or meet me..”
Although Oliver did not like knives themselves, he accepted the dagger. Although it was old, I felt it was a good product..
“Read a history book. Or, the local Northland newspaper..”
Willes suddenly said.
"I beg your pardon?”
"Read a history book or local Northland newspaper, if you want to know why I do this... .. Normally, these things are not something that someone tells you, but you have to find them yourself to understand them properly. If you still have questions then, I'll answer you..”
It wasn't just an attempt to avoid answering. Oliver nodded his head..
“Yes, I understand.”
"Phew, just talking about it makes my wound ache again... ..what to do now?”
"Originally, I was going to treat Mr. Willes, but since he seems to be okay, I'll do something else..”
"other things?”
"Yes, I'm going to log into the World Tree and see if there were any pictures of me fighting. Because you never know.."
“Can you touch the World Tree??"
“Because I happened to see it?”
"It's not surprising anymore.”
Willes shook his head, stubbed out his cigarette, and looked around again..
Even at second glance, the inside of the lab was a mess, as if it had been bombed..
“.…Even if the world tree is manipulated, it would be difficult to avoid being questioned as the scene is like this..”
"hmm… .. I'd like to think about it slowly too..”
"There's no time, right??”
Oliver kept his mouth shut. He checked the time earlier, and as Willes said, there was no time..
"Do you have any good ideas??”
“There is a somewhat unreasonable method..”
“Oh, what is it??”
"First, take care of the World Tree, and then tell me a story..”
"What?”
"Bathory. How the vampire took over this place, how he fought, and how you won.."
