Genius Warlock-Episode 279

“Taddadak-! Taddadak-! Tadaddak-!”

“I'm sorry!!”

Carlin and the corpse doll-rags 2 clashed in the air and became entangled with each other..

Just before they got tangled up, five of Rag 2's arms were instantly broken by Carlin's swing, but Pauls, who had entered Rag 2, didn't care and held on to Carlin with his remaining seven arms..

All areas that can be grasped, including the head, face, neck, shoulders, forearms, waist, and legs..

Then, he applied force to his forearm and brought out the awl and razor built into it..

“Kyahahahahahahahaha!!!”

The awls and razors stuck in various places on his arms were not fatal, but they inflicted malicious pain, and Carlin felt the malice with his whole body and tried to get away from the rag..

But the more Carlin struggled, the more Paul bit him, and in the process, Carlin's wounds became more and more messy..

The head, face, neck, shoulders, forearms, waist, and legs are all part of the body..

Carlin's entire body was stained with red blood. He lifted one leg and pressed it against Rag 2's chest as hard as he could..

But this was a wrong choice.

As soon as Carlin assumed an unstable stance, Foles activated the new weapon mounted on his torso. It was four single-shot guns..

Taang! Taang! Taang! Taang one!

The single-shot gun was fired immediately without loading, leaving fatal wounds on Carlin's legs, chest, and abdomen, which were weakened by the gunshot..

Instead of using it just once, I chose something with high power, and it seemed like a pretty good choice..

Carlin's lifeless body is the proof..

"hmm… … . It's pretty good?”

Oliver said, looking down at Carlin's body..

Corpse Doll - Rags 2 has a slightly unique appearance compared to other corpse dolls, causing more fear in opponents, but ironically, it was a corpse doll made of the most ordinary materials..

Burial Doll - Easy to understand when compared to Warlock, Bathory, and Duncan.

Therefore, although it may be overwhelming against ordinary gangs, it was somewhat difficult against superhumans..

However, this makes it clear.

Throwing a shrunken corpse doll at a suddenly approaching enemy, dispelling the miniaturization spell and launching a surprise attack could have a pretty good effect..

‘Depending on the quality of the corpse doll, the situation can be turned upside down in an instant.…….'

Oliver satisfactorily recalled the previous fight and looked for areas for improvement..

Assuming that there are multiple opponents or that the reflexes are good enough to react to the attack..

“But I think I forgot something……."

Oliver looked around and muttered, then looked at his feet and realized what it was..

It was Albert who was swallowed by an amorphous corpse golem..

***

“Wow! Wow! Wow 1!”

Albert continued to vomit even though it had been a while since he left the corpse golem..

It was only a short moment, but it felt like being in a pile of corpses wasn't hard enough..

Originally, it was an action to safely move Albert to the management room where the World Tree was located, but it seemed like an unintentional mistake..

Oliver apologized again..

“I'm really sorry.”

“Oh, no. L, it's okay……."

Albert wasn't okay at all, but he tried to lie..

When I first appeared in Corpse Golem, I couldn't control my anger, so I vomited and swore, but I soon calmed down when I saw the Druid's corpse with its head broken, its chest pierced, and its whole body turned into a rag, and Oliver, who was fine... … . He was truly a big-hearted person..

He continued to walk, unsteadily supported by Oliver, and eventually arrived at the World Tree management office in the center of McCluskey Security Company..

“hmm… … . Is the original World Tree management office like this??”

Oliver asked a question as he looked into the huge circular space with the World Tree in the exact center..

It was empty, but something was strange..

It wasn't empty from the beginning, but there were traces of machines being installed here and there on the wall, as if some work had been done before being withdrawn..

‘But, there are a lot of traces. very…….'

Traces filling a huge circular space.

Albert sighed and opened his mouth..

“Phew… … .It's definitely a bit strange..”

"yes?”

“Unlike wizards, druids don't use machines..”

Oliver, who didn't know much about druids, asked why they didn't use the machine. Albert kindly explained..

“There are differences in the way the World Tree is handled. Wizards pay for magical power to use the World Tree temporarily, and they also use machines for efficiency, but they are not druids... … . They communicate directly with the World Tree. I hate to admit it, but it's superior to wizards. Therefore, for them, machines are just a hassle. Regardless of the Druid's pride and ideology. In that sense, this place is definitely strange..”

After hearing the explanation, Oliver nodded in agreement..

To say that it was run in a Druid way, there were traces of machines here and there, and to say that it was a departure from the traditional method, it was not present anymore..

It seemed closer to having left while conducting some kind of experiment..

“I don't know what it is, but I guess I'll have to look into it to find out..”

Albert of the Moirai School took out a wooden stake from his chest..

It was a stake thick enough to be barely held with one hand, with knots sticking out here and there..

It seemed to be a device that transferred hacked information..

“From now on, we will access the World Tree and transfer internal information to this pile. In the meantime, I will be defenseless, so please protect me..”

“Yes, I understand.”

Oliver responded, scattering the magical power stored in his body in all directions to monitor the surroundings, while Albert put his magical energy into a stake he took out of his arms and suddenly stuck it into the World Tree..

Pak!

The point of the stake, which was densely packed with magical power, was immediately driven into the seemingly solid World Tree, and Albert used the stake as a medium to connect to the World Tree..

Oliver watched with concentration in his eyes..

Because I have never seen someone else use the World Tree up close like this..

“Are you here??”

Oliver observed Albert interacting with the World Tree using a stake, and captured Arthur and his group arriving in front of the control room entrance..

They were much dirtier than before..

“……I think you're okay..”

Arthur checked Oliver's condition and immediately spoke. That's because not only was Oliver fine, but his clothes weren't that dirty either. He's got a few wrinkles at best.

“yes."

“If so, I'm glad... … . By any chance, haven't you met any druids??”

“We met. Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Cathal, Mr. Finlay, Mr. Carlin. Four people like this. how did you know?”

“The druid out there told me... … . where are they?”

“One exploded to pieces, the other three are here..”

Oliver pointed to Big Mouse on his belt..

The damage was a bit severe, but I took care of it for now..

Unlike Oliver, who answers calmly. Arthur made a strange expression..

What should I say? I expected it, but it was surprising when it actually happened.?

Even though they had all the skills and equipment, they had a hard time suppressing one druid in the forest, but the warlock in front of them, who was about 20 years old, suppressed four by himself..

I couldn't help but be shocked.

Oliver, who read Arthur's feelings, opened his mouth to clear up the misunderstanding..

“I just got lucky.”

“If you call it luck that you can defeat four druids in the forest without getting hurt, luck itself is a skill..”

“Ah, that's fascinating. Forest also told a similar story… … . But you are lucky. There were a lot of corpses inside the building, so it was to my advantage. If there were no bodies and the fight had been fought in an open area near a tree, it would have been difficult for me to be safe..”

Oliver spoke his thoughts honestly rather than humbly..

Actually, since it was inside the building, there were some disadvantages to the druids..

Soil or wood could not be used..

Of course, even taking that into account, it was an undeniable fact that Oliver's performance was great. Although the person concerned did not care.

However, ironically, that impressed Arthur even more deeply..

For example, even if this mission ends well and you end up leading the Security Bureau, you have to maintain a good relationship with Oliver.…….

“..…Regardless of luck or whatever, thank you. If Albert had been injured, this whole incident would have been greatly distorted..”

“Because it's my job.”

“Everyone watch and learn. Humility is a virtue that has become extinct these days... … . It's a shame that I can't pay the success fee because I don't have the money..”

Arthur joked in his characteristic cheerful tone..

But it was also sincere. I was really disappointed that I couldn't give Oliver a success reward..

Oliver, who read those emotions, suggested.

“Well, could you please ask for something else instead of money? It's a success reward.?”

Arthur was a little surprised, perhaps because it was an unexpected suggestion, but he was not offended or anything. In fact, I even welcomed it..

“Something else instead of money... … . I'm not asking for too much, right? Try to give as much as possible.”

Oliver fingers Albert. To be exact, he pointed to the stake that Albert had driven into the World Tree..

“Can I also receive the information Mr. Albert obtained? Not a single thing left behind.”

Oliver asked, looking at the traces on the wall where many machines had been. I was just wondering what on earth happened here..

***

six in the morning.

Time for everyone to go to bed except the factory workers and the general store owner..

A man got out of bed and took a shower.

Shoot hahahahahahahahahaha!

His name was none other than Seamus, as he was too diligent to rent the entire hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in Randa..

An enjoyment druid, former top solver of Randa, and a great businessman who founded ABC, a miracle investment company..

Unlike his usual flashy and debauched appearance, his morning started earlier than anyone else..

After taking a shower, he wiped his muscular body, as hard and tough as a tree, with a towel, then applied lotion for skin care to his face and body, filled his hands with hair wax, and neatly pushed his green hair back..

To finish, I put on a fancy green suit and went out of the suite..

“Are you awake??”

Sheamus' subordinate Dugan greeted Sheamus..

I've been waiting for it since a while ago. Sheamus walked down the hallway with him and started talking about work..

“Yeah, who hit our place of business??”

“This is the city's special security bureau..”

“If I remember correctly, they definitely took my money and wasted it, but justice was behind them.?”

The Security Bureau was created after numerous controversies. It was still unclear what the organization specifically did, but Sheamus also gave the organization a lot of money to prepare for any emergency..

But it was robbed.

“you're right… … . However, there are some who did not receive it..”

"It means that the person who didn't receive it hit it. Who is it?”

“This guy is Arthur. It is said that he was one of the security department team leaders and acted alone before the higher-ups could stop him..”

“The excuses of these incompetent people are so obvious... … . what is the purpose?”

“Ostensibly to take down illegal businesses run by the McCluskey Security Company, but that doesn't seem to be the case..”

“Is it ABC??”

If you pretend, you pretend. Sheamus immediately grasped the situation..

Not only was he successful as a problem solver in this city, but he retired safely and lived happily ever after as a businessman..

“Yes, we haven't found any evidence yet, but we have seen several meetings with Ministry of Interior officials who do not view us favorably. And there's a guy named Arthur-”

“-Okay, that's enough. You're aiming for ABC, right?.”

Sheamus came to a conclusion right away. While ABC was in the midst of increasing its stock price, a problem arose at a business that had no particular problems, and there was only one correct answer..

“Rather, the kids?”

“……It seems like everything has happened.”

The kids Sheamus was talking about were none other than Jeffrey and Catal. He was a druid under his command. Real subordinates..

Sheamus gritted his teeth in anger and frustration, then opened his mouth again..

“Amazing... … . I never thought there would be people from the Security Bureau, which focuses on average combat and organizational skills, that would deal with our kids. Could it be that they invaded in large numbers??”

“no. It is said that only the team leader and a small number of his team members moved..”

“Well, that's strange.?”

“I hired a fixer. Dave.”

Sheamus paused for a moment..

"……Strangely, there's nowhere he doesn't get caught, right? Have you become enemies with me??”

“And the Moirai school is also cooperating. Traces of hacking into the World Tree were discovered. Would it be okay?”

“are you okay. Even though I own stock there, I didn't participate in management, so it has nothing to do with me. Other companies only lent and invested money and had no direct relationship with me. Ignore it.”

“No, I'm talking about the traces of Eve..”

Dugan looked around and spoke again..

“……All important information has been deleted, but as you know, complete deletion from the World Tree is impossible, right? Also, I left the information about how Eve was discovered without deleting it just in case. Wouldn't that be a problem??”

“hmm… … . it's okay. don't mind. It's already happened, and there's nothing you can do about it. As druids, we couldn't find anything like this, so what would a fake know??”

Sheamus spoke lightly, but it was an accurate judgment. He is already working on big business and projects at the same time, so this is not something he should worry about..

I never thought something like Moirai would save me..

“First of all, let’s take care of the urgent things first. If you hit ABC, if you hit McCluskey Security, all the dark business they managed will be caught... … . Tell the barge bosses to shut up and go in as per their contract. If you don't understand the language, show me the money and your family's address..”

“Yes, I understand. it's not difficult.”

“good… … . What about Eve? The rate of return is?”

“It's the same. Eve itself is growing, but it is also becoming more difficult to control, making it difficult to use it properly..”

Dugan looked embarrassed, but Sheamus didn't care..

Isn’t there a saying that those who want to wear a crown must bear its weight? It was the same thing..

“are you okay. doesn't care. Because I didn’t plan on using it right away. Just tell me to keep a good watch... … . It's truly a miraculous discovery, you shouldn't miss it..”

“Don't worry, we know it too..”

“good… … . Well then, contact Craig..”

"Craig? Why all of a sudden?”

“need more bait.”

“Bait? Haven't you already reached your goal??”

The target Dugan spoke of was the amount of investment invested in ABC..

Surprisingly, the current investment in ABC was well over 1 trillion, and was looking at 2 trillion..

An astronomical number that cannot be felt..

However, Sheamus did not seem satisfied with this..

“That's right, I achieved my goal. Many people donate money directly to me every day... . Honestly, losing a few companies isn't a big problem anymore. Even if you take the investment money flowing into ABC and share the profits, you can run ABC for a while longer..”

“So why are you calling Craig? Maybe we should share the profits.”

“Because you have to earn it while you can. I have no intention of ending with just two chapters in the richest city in the world. I need to pull out three or four times more. To do that, you need a lot of bait... … . So call Craig. Let's rob the richest city in the world together..”
