Genius Warlock-Episode 308
9:25 p.m..
Oliver came out of the magic tower.
I originally got off work at 9pm, but it took about 25 minutes longer since I stopped by the library and picked up the book I wanted to read..
When I get home, it will probably be after 10 p.m..
‘hmm… … . No, I might arrive before 10 o'clock. Because it’s night, the road won’t be blocked..’
When I calculated that I would arrive around 10 o'clock, I thought I would probably sleep around 11:30 or 12 o'clock..
I had to exercise lightly, wash up, read books, review humor books, check the condition of Sheamus, the doll, and adapt Child-Third..
For about two weeks, Oliver worked hard as Professor Magic Tower's personal employee Zenon Bright, but that didn't mean he neglected his main job..
Most of the corpses collected so far, including Druid Sheamus, were processed into corpse dolls or modified zombies to suit their roles, and training was being conducted to adapt Child-Third to the corpse doll-Sheamus..
Originally, I was going to leave it to First, but it didn't seem right to only give Hana the high-performance corpse doll, so I gave it to Third, who just happened to lose the corpse doll (Rags, Rags 2)..
I think it would be better to distribute it in various ways, both strategically and research-wise..
For your information, Third, like First, was having a hard time adapting to the new corpse doll..
‘Still, I'm getting used to it little by little..’
In addition, Oliver was also working on creating a blood elixir by placing the First in the corpse doll - Bathory..
Even though they worked 18 hours a day, which is the legal working time (excluding breaks), they could barely make enough for Edith..
‘As expected, efficiency will increase if I receive the items ordered from Lee Wan quickly... … . Or should I think of another production method??’
The vacation is only 3 days. I had doubts about whether I could do it, but I didn't think it would be a bad idea to try it just for fun..
I think it would be a good idea to refer to the [Beginner level introduction to potion manufacturing process] that I borrowed earlier..
'huh?'
Oliver, who was deep in thought, felt a warning sign and turned to avoid it..
Then one of the group of young men who almost collided shouted. He must have been drunk and his pronunciation was so crooked that it was hard to understand..
“I eat rice cakes while lying down! rummaging……!”
It wasn't a familiar face, but Oliver knew who it was. He was a student at Magic Tower.
Because he was wearing a cape that proved he was a student at the Magic Tower..
He swore one or two more words at Oliver and went back on his way with his friends who were just as drunk as he was..
Everyone was drunk, but looking around, they weren't the only ones drunk..
The entertainment district around Magic Tower, where Oliver is currently located, was bustling as if a festival were taking place..
It was originally a lively street, but now it is several times its usual size. There was no place where the lights weren't on, and there was no place that wasn't noisy..
1In the bars and coffee houses on the first floor, students were drunk and fighting while fighting, in the restaurants and clubs on the second floor there were luxurious banquets and parties, and on the terrace on the third floor, two couples were sitting together and kissing..
A relationship between a young male student and a female student... … Ah, correction. It seemed like they weren't students, but a female professor and a male student. Well, it could be so..
Anyway, the street was very lively..
“It seems like all the students at the Magic Tower have come out... … . what day is it?”
Just as Oliver was muttering and trying to quickly escape the noisy streets, someone called out to him..
“hey. gentleman.”
A sticky yet bewitching voice that seems to enchant people. However, Oliver didn't care and went on his way..
“hey!”
The accent is stronger than before. Only then did Oliver stop..
“I… … . Did you call me??”
"Yes, there gentleman..”
“ah… … . I'm not a gentleman.”
Oliver answered and observed the woman in front of him..
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties and was wearing a flashy hat..
Her skin is as white as snow, and she is wearing a dress that reveals her breasts and a red leather corset, which emphasizes her body to the point of exaggeration..
Typical attire that drives men away.
But Oliver was more concerned about something else..
"……What should I call you if not a gentleman??”
“hmm… … . Please call me Zeno. Xenon Bright. That's my name.”
“ah… … . nice to meet you. Mr. Zenon. It's funny because it's rare for a customer to reveal her real name to a woman like me..”
“What kind of woman is a lady like you??”
Oliver asked sincerely. The woman did not respond and just smiled playfully..
“Hehehe… … . You're being mischievous. Do you enjoy games like that??”
“Games? … … Uh, sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean. By any chance, do you have something to do with me??”
“Maybe? … … Business is not going well today. Can you hang out with me for a moment??”
“hmm… … . All right.”
Oliver thought for a moment and then answered..
As soon as she heard the answer, the woman smiled brightly, completely different from her true feelings, and jumped up from her seat..
Although it was acting, it seemed quite natural on the outside..
To the extent that everyone is deceived..
Oliver took a side road that wasn't on the schedule and followed the woman..
When people were far away in the back alley, Oliver spoke to the woman's back..
“I think I can start running errands around here.?”
"Wow, despite your appearance, you have an impatient personality..”
“sorry. I think the lady is also in a hurry..”
“Ahaha… … . Despite your appearance, you are quick-witted. How do you know my heart!”
The woman responded by pulling out a long hatpin from her hat and pointing it at Oliver..
The movement was very fast, but in that brief moment, Oliver saw that the black magic Deep Sleep was imbued with the hat pin..
Just passing by is enough to make you fall asleep.
Oliver skillfully gathered magical power in both hands, threw Hatpin aside, and immediately punched the woman in the face..
Whoosh!
The woman dodged Oliver's fist with incredible agility..
As expected, it was a familiar speed and movement..
It seemed like he was Bathory's disciple..
This is Bathory, the blood mage who took over the Life Sciences laboratory in Mountain Face without anyone knowing..
She wondered why on earth she came here and why she approached her, but before she could even think deeply, the woman was not even able to dodge Oliver's fist, but instead gathered magical energy into her fingertips and applied it to the wall..
Magical power spreads quickly across the wall.
Stone pillars made of bricks and cement protruded from the wall imbued with magic, surrounding Oliver from front to back and restricting his actions..
Oliver is like a bird trapped in a cage..
But one thing was clear. The reason is unknown, but the woman in front of her had no intention of killing Oliver..
At least for now.
As proof, he avoided hitting critical points even though he pulled out the pin from his hat and threw it..
Watching the flying hat pin, Oliver hesitated on whether to fight back or not..
Being conscious of the gaze looking from afar.
In the end, Oliver gave up his defense and decided to trust the Magic Tower student, and fortunately, that choice turned out to be the right one..
[Ice Wall)]
With a familiar voice heard from afar, pure white ice like frost spread along the floor, and magical power exploded right in front of Oliver, forming a huge wall of ice..
Thanks to this, the thin hat pin thrown by the woman did not even touch Oliver's body..
And that wasn't the end.
Yareli formed ice on her feet and moved quickly, gliding on the ice, gathering magical energy and placing both hands on the ground, exploding the vast magical energy within her body and covering the surrounding area with ice..
Blah blah blah blah!!
It is not easy to freeze the surroundings this much with just her magic power, and in addition, she showed careful control by not freezing the area where Oliver was..
Although he appeared blunt, he was deeply considerate..
“joy!”
The woman, believed to be Bathory's disciple, created flames in both hands and countered Yareli's magic from the front..
Manipulating flames with magic to melt Yareli's ice.
Memories of fighting with Willis at Mountain Face came back to me..
‘The situation is the opposite.’
At that time, Bathory's disciples were the majority and used ice magic, whereas now, there is one more student and they use ice magic..
However, more important than that is to focus on the present..
Oliver instinctively felt that if the identity of the person in front of him was revealed, it would be bothersome in one way or another..
When I returned from solving the Mountain Face issue in the past, I didn't know if I would get the same attention again, and maybe even reinvestigate the issue..
That's all the specifications.
So Oliver decided that he needed to put an end to the fight before it escalated further. It moved faster than Yarely, who was approaching quickly through the ice..
He concentrated his magic power into his fist, broke the stone pillar, and then struck the ice wall with all his might..
Boom!! The thick ice wall shattered with a sound, and some of the fragments flew towards the woman..
The woman who was preoccupied with dealing with Yareli had no choice but to be hit by a shard of ice harder than most stones..
Meanwhile, Oliver tightened his legs, kicked the ground, approached the woman in an instant, and hit the woman's abdomen with all his might with a fist that secretly held his emotions..
Pang 1!
A cheerful sound rang out, sending the woman flying backwards, and with pain, the woman realized that it was time to step back..
“step back.”
Yareli, who had already arrived, jumped into the sky and threw ice magic..
Considering the amount of magical power and the magic, it was not ordinary magic, but fortunately, the woman who was believed to be Bathory's disciple was not an ordinary person..
As soon as she saw Yareli's attack, she exploded her magic power from her body and released flames, barely neutralizing the ice magic thrown by Yareli, and concentrated her magic power in both hands. She cast a spell on the floor.
[Field Thorns)]
Multiple stone windows made of bricks, cement, and dirt came rushing towards Oliver and Yarely..
For a brief moment, Yareli admired his opponent's skills, but after realizing that he was not an ordinary opponent, he strengthened his resolve to catch him..
Yareli tried to avoid the opponent's magic rather than face it head on. At that moment, he thought of Oliver and looked back..
She wondered whether Oliver would be able to avoid the attack or not, and when Oliver did not respond as such, she soon changed her mind and decided to use ice magic to block the approaching stone spear..
She gathered magical energy at the tips of both hands and spread cold air around her as if exploding, covering the floor with a huge wall of ice rather than frost, silencing the surging stone spear..
Skillful workmanship at all times.
As soon as she was sure Oliver was safe, she created a pillar of ice with her feet and jumped over the pile of stone spears blocking her path..
However, it was no use..
Bathory's disciple escaped while Yarely defended himself with ice magic..
No matter how good Yareli's magic skills were, it was impossible to keep up with his speed..
Oliver's prediction was correct, and Yareli came over again, beaming with disappointment at having missed his enemy..
She looked at Oliver with complicated eyes..
“Thank you for your help. Mr. Yareli.”
Oliver opened his mouth first to say hello..
"What are you doing here??”
“As I was returning home after work, the woman from earlier said she had some business to run, so I followed her… … . Mr. Yareli, what are you doing here??”
Yareli showed suspicious feelings towards the overly calm Oliver..
“……I was attending the end-of-semester party..”
"ah......."
Oliver made a sound as if he finally understood. There was a time when students flocked to the entertainment district right after the midterm exam and played quite noisily. It was natural to have more fun after taking finals..
“But how did we end up here… … . Ah, I am thankful that I avoided anger thanks to you..”
Oliver questioned again..
It wasn't anything particularly strange. The back alley here is not far from the entertainment district, but it is not close either..
At least Yareli, who was at the end-of-semester party, happened to be next to me and wasn't there to help..
Fortunately, Yareli answered this question..
“I saw you.”
“Absolutely?”
“Yes, while I was passing through the street, I was being led by the hand of a woman into a back alley..”
Sincerity. Oliver asked just in case..
“Did you notice that the woman was a robber??”
“no. It's probably not a robbery..”
“yes?”
“There are robbers targeting drunk Magic Tower students at this time of year, but there's no way someone with that level of skill would commit robbery. I thought it was your colleague. "
Oliver asked a completely unexpected question..
“Colleague? … … Why do you think so??”
“……Of course you are suspicious..”
Yareli did not hide his thoughts and spoke honestly..
