Genius Warlock-Episode 288
The Lady of Flame who absorbed all the fires that broke out in the forest..
She was all ready and just as she was about to attack, she disappeared like a dying match..
When I saw Oliver.
"......."
"......."
"......."
"......."
everyone was silent.
Not only Oliver but also the druid who summoned the Lady of Fire..
It was a natural reaction because it was something I couldn't understand..
And there was one more thing I didn't understand.
Why was the fire spirit not only surprised when he saw Oliver, but also filled with fear and awe?.
‘hmm… … . Come to think of it, Salamander was like that too..’
Oliver remembered something from the past that he had forgotten for a while..
The first time I met Kevin on an out-of-town mission. He almost died several times, but his final attack with the Salamander was particularly dangerous..
The range was relatively narrow, but the firepower was greater than that..
‘I wasn't even able to defend myself properly. Nevertheless, the reason he survived was because he took advantage of the moment when the spirit was afraid to counterattack... … . Why did I care about this now??’
If you think about it, it was quite a strange thing. Why didn't he care about this?.
Well, I didn't think about it for too long..
‘It's not that important, let's ask the elder later..’
After Oliver concluded the matter, he looked at the druids across from him..
The number is six in total. They, like Oliver, were puzzled by the current situation..
No, he seemed shocked rather than puzzled..
It feels very unbelievable and unacceptably absurd..
In a way, it was a natural reaction..
Druids are beings who have been training since childhood to communicate with nature..
In most cases, it was a power acquired in return for giving up all ties to the world and a precious childhood that would never be repeated..
Thanks to this, he was able to embody the great power of nature in his body, manipulate nature, and communicate with spirits and the world tree..
However, as soon as the spirit summoned after such efforts saw the warlock, it unilaterally cut off communication and disappeared.?
It was a completely different problem than simply getting hit by a bullet or having a spell fail..
This was some kind of betrayal..
A betrayal of one's precious childhood efforts, perhaps even of one's life..
Therefore, the druids showed more hostility and hatred toward Oliver than just enemies..
“You… … ! What did you do?!!”
The druids who failed to summon the spirit each strengthened their bodies with the power of nature and rushed towards Oliver with huge wooden mallets and spears in their hands..
The momentum was very fierce..
Oliver looked at them and said.
“Hunger… … . Please.”
At Oliver's request, a huge and ugly man made of flames appeared from the forest, burning and destroying trees..
Hunger, who must have eaten quite a few people, grew even larger, snatched the druid with agile movements unbecoming of his enlarged size, threw him into the air, and swallowed him in one go with his huge mouth, which even his ears were torn apart..
"Argh… … !! Ahhhh……! ……!!!”
The Druid, who was caught in Hunger's grasp and whose entire body was roasted to a golden brown color, was deprived of the freedom to even scream when he entered Hunger's mouth, and was turned into living firewood in Hunger's stomach..
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
The druids screamed in rage as they watched their comrades die horribly before their eyes..
My heart is driven into a corner by repeated shocking situations..
The druids joined forces and made a huge wooden pillar rise from the ground and hit Hunger..
Cooung——!!!
The same technique that was used when Hunger first charged..
The difference was that the hunger went away the first time, but not this time..
Surprisingly, Hunger's bony chest took on a wooden beam made by the Druids..
The power has become stronger. Oliver soon found out why..
‘If you eat people, Hunger becomes stronger..’
Although not certain, Oliver came to a tentative conclusion:.
The immediate difference was whether or not they ate people, including druids..
As the druids withstood the combined attack, Hunger held on to the pillar with both hands to provide strength..
Wow!...…!!
The wooden pillar, which contained the power of nature, gradually burned down in the fires of hunger, weakened, and soon collapsed..
Hunger used his momentum to attack the druids by swinging his long, bony arms..
“Kyakyakyakyakyahyahyahya.!!”
Hunger runs wild, swinging his arms and legs.
It was nothing more than an animal-like struggle, but the combination of its enormous size and malicious heat made it threatening enough..
When Oliver was trying to help Hunger deal with the druids, something came running very quickly from inside the forest, which had a strange atmosphere..
A very foreign yet familiar feeling. He was a member of the anti-development committee..
Easy profit… … ! Ride, ride!! Crack… … bang!!
The man, with bandages all over his body and a robe covering him from head to toe, ran at a speed that was unbelievable to the eye, leaping between the trees and rushing towards Hunger..
A living fireball the size of a house..
"ok......?"
Hunger was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and opened his mouth wide towards the flying bandaged man..
to swallow.
Bang 1!!
Surprisingly, the bandage man who suddenly appeared swung an elongated quarter staff that seemed to be made of meat and pierced Hunger's mouth with a shock wave..
It was pretty amazing.
To overcome Hunger, which can fight a large number of druids, with only one person's strength..
Hunger, whose mouth was completely pierced from front to back, was bleeding like lava and was suffering..
But that wasn't the end.
The bandaged man, who did not suffer any damage from Hunger's flames, flamboyantly swung his quarter step and ran again, breaking both of Hunger's ankles and cutting his waist in half..
Landa's skills that even most superhumans cannot imitate..
The successive shock waves shattered Hunger, and the bandaged man holding the quarter staff spoke to the druid who was mesmerized by the sight..
“Your captain is calling..”
Unlike other members of the anti-development committee, his tone was natural..
The druids came to their senses and fled all at once to the center of the forest where Sheamus was..
And they weren't the only ones running away..
When the warlock focused his eyes on the surroundings, the surviving druids retreated to Sheamus's location inside the forest to see what their intentions were, and the empty space was filled by members of the anti-development committee..
Surprisingly, even though the druids were missing, the anti-development committee used their superior physical abilities to stop the anti-Sheamus coalition that followed..
-crackling!!
When I turned my head to the sound, the bandaged man holding the quarter staff started moving again..
The target was not Oliver, but the giant zombies running this way. Their bodies were strengthened to the limit, and the three zombies wearing keratin armor burst into pieces like water balloons with a shock wave tearing the air..
Simple yet overwhelming power.
Even the speed was so fast that he approached Oliver in an instant before he could react..
The bandage man raised his quarter staff high towards Oliver's head..
***
“after… … . I took a breather with this.”
Sheamus muttered, running his hands through his green hair..
Starting with a sudden strike of black lightning, the battle suddenly turned unfavorable..
The spell prepared before the founding of ABC was half destroyed, and monster-like zombies and monsters made of fire appeared and broke through the defense line with ridiculous ease..
Thanks to this, the thousands of troops surrounding the forest were stimulated and rushed in like crazy..
No matter how much magic was used to protect the forest and even if there were druids, there was a limit to what could be done to stop it..
However, the anti-development committee called to move to another location volunteered to provide troops to act as a shield..
I didn't know why, but it had to be luck..
‘But I don't like it. Because unknown luck and misfortune are essentially the same thing.’
However, since he was in no condition to refuse, Seamus called the troops and gathered all the druids here, as suggested by the 'elder'..
‘Fortunately, the anti-development committee is doing a good job. I can't believe you endured this much even though we were missing..’
Sheamus thought as he examined the forest with the spells he had placed throughout the forest..
The anti-development committee, all wearing bandages, were all using their inhuman strength, resilience, and strange physical characteristics such as tentacles to fend off more than a thousand city troops..
I thought I knew why the city, the most gangster in Landa, couldn't subdue them..
It was worth paying an astronomical amount of money to hire him..
‘Anyway, it's nothing compared to the money we've earned and the money we'll earn in the future..’
Sheamus put complicated thoughts aside and focused on the important matter at hand..
It was none other than a space movement ritual being prepared by the Anti-Development Committee, and people wearing straws and bandages all over their bodies were performing the ritual by building an altar with freshly killed corpses..
It was similar to the pseudo-religious rituals frequently performed in Landa, but the difference was that it was actually effective..
As evidence, the altar of corpses piled up one after another were lumped together and pulsating like new life..
Excited. Excited. Excited. Exciting.
It unleashed a power that was different from magic, black magic, and even the power of nature and sacred law..
Still, if I had to compare it, it was similar to black magic or holy magic..
“That's funny……."
Sheamus laughed. It's similar to black magic, but it's also similar to holy magic. Even Sheamus, who has no religious beliefs, felt that it was blasphemous..
Well, what does it matter if it's profane or not??
Once that ritual was over, Sheamus could have moved to the safe place he wanted..
‘The question is whether we can hold out until then. Also, can you move it in time?.’
Sheamus thought as he looked at the four druids surrounding the World Tree..
They were putting aside their pride as druids and using a magician's clumsy mechanical device to move Eve, who had been forcibly tied to the World Tree, to the World Tree cut into logs..
Surprisingly, Eve did not move as desired despite the druid's efforts..
‘On the topic of the world tree…….'
Sheamus thought as he looked at Eve, who wasn't doing what he wanted while she was busy..
“how?”
“sorry. president… … . I think I need some more time.”
A female druid with a twig tattoo on her face asked..
If you look at his skills in handling the World Tree, he was on par with Sheamus..
“I think I heard that before.?”
“I'm really sorry… … . I don't know why, but resistance suddenly became stronger. First of all, I think we'll have to force Eve into hibernation..”
Sheamus watched the situation in the entire forest through magic..
The anti-development committee was holding up well, but numbers were also strong. The enemies were gradually approaching this place. there was no time.
“Anything is fine. First of all, move Eve to that world tree. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter if you get a little hurt. Because it's better to be broken than to lose it.
Sheamus commanded, pointing to the World Tree cut into logs, and the female druid nodded..
Because I knew Eve’s value was as great as her outstanding skills..
Meanwhile, the anti-development committee's spatial movement ritual reached its peak, and the druids returned one by one..
Dugan was among them..
Dugan went to stop Dave..
He dragged more than ten of his fellow druids away, but only four came back..
‘Was Dave always this strong??’
Sheamus had a question. It was common knowledge that dealing with two people was more difficult than dealing with one person..
It was no different from the fight between superhumans who transcended ordinary people..
No, it could be said that it was even worse for beginners who could score with just one wrong hit..
However, it brought many druids to the brink of annihilation. Even though it was strange, it was too strange..
“Oh, that doesn't make sense. president.”
Dugan spoke in an unusual state even at first glance..
“What doesn't make sense?”
“Hey, Dave. There's something strange about that warlock. As soon as the spirit saw the guy, he ran away..”
“The spirit runs away? What kind of nonsense is that??”
Sheamus frowned and asked back..
Spirits are one of the beings that make up great nature. It made no sense to run away after seeing a mere human being..
It was also a kind of betrayal..
It is a betrayal of our druids who have dedicated their lives to protecting nature..
While Dugan was explaining what was going on, something quickly approached us again..
I thought it was an enemy, but fortunately it wasn't..
He was a senior member of the anti-development committee who took responsibility and helped Sheamus this time..
He moved at an incredible speed even for a druid and arrived here in an instant..
Obviously, I went there to help Dugan and take down Dave..
Sheamus looked at him and asked a question..
“I've already finished it.?”
“no… … . The contract ends here..”
A senior member of the anti-development committee unilaterally notified.
