Genius Warlock-Episode 324
Kevin snorted after breaking the magic chain with the black magic in his hands and using magic to kill the enemy..
To pretend to be strong and calm according to the magic tower's lifestyle..
This is a place where appearance is more important than actual achievement..
However, despite his appearance, Kevin was quite surprised on the inside..
Due to the luck of having learned black magic in advance at the right time, and to the achievements achieved in a short period of time,.
For a moment, I thought God had helped me. God……
“Hmm, black magic.?”
“What on earth……?”
The wizards, who were blocked in all directions by a wall of thick fog, bound by magic chains and almost attacked, were shocked once again when they saw Kevin..
It's not like Kevin didn't understand..
Black magic is taboo even for wizards who tolerate most illegal activities for the sake of knowledge..
But Kevin decided to focus on the situation at hand for now..
First, he preemptively attacked the other wizards in the demonstration hall who were in the same group as the professor..
After the professor was attacked, they tried to attack him again..
Kevin first injected magic into the ground through his feet and activated earth magic with fire magic added. He made stone spears shoot out at the feet of the enemies..
Kwagwagwagwagwagwak!!
Spears made of earth and stone shot up countless times from bottom to top, piercing many enemies, but the enemies were also wizards of considerable skill..
Quite a few people avoided Kevin's attacks or climbed on top of him through animal-like movements and magic..
They didn't seem like normal guys..
‘Well, it didn't matter.’
[Firecracker)]
As Kevin chanted, fire magic mixed with earth magic was activated..
An explosion occurred inside the stone window, attacking nearby enemies with flame, heat, and debris..
The area where the stone spears had shot up became a sea of fire as if it had been hit by artillery fire, causing great damage to enemies who were caught off guard by avoiding the first attack..
There were two or three survivors, but their will to fight was broken by the overwhelming firepower and they ran away..
As soon as he saw that, Kevin put his emotions into his hands again and forcibly broke the magic chain that was binding Derek..
Perhaps because it was designed to be wizards, it was more vulnerable to black magic than expected..
“professor……?”
Derek, who had been freed from the magical chains, asked with a surprised expression. A rare expression for Derek.
Kevin shamelessly decided to go out. The more shameless the lie, the better it works..
“I learned it for work and research purposes while I was a military wizard. Don't be surprised.”
“Ha, but......."
“Do you think this is an issue that should be considered in the current situation??”
Kevin spoke to Derek like he did when dealing with soldiers on the battlefield in the past..
And this could be said to be a good response..
The current situation itself is no different from war..
Landa's Magic Tower, the University of Loculi in Gallos, and wizard families from the central part of the continent gathered here, and the host, University of Loculi, attacked. There was no shortage of using the radical word ‘war’..
Fortunately, Derek realized that the situation at hand was more important..
While Kevin's use of black magic was a small personal matter, the current situation was crazy and far from normal..
‘And there's no way a crazy person could have done such a crazy thing alone... … . Probably related to the higher-ups..’
Kevin was convinced as he saw the fog completely taking over the space around him..
The specific effect and power were unknown, but just looking at the size, it was clear that it was not an ordinary barrier..
Minimum One Master… … . No, it only made sense if there was more than a Grand Master involved..
Kevin thought he had to react quickly, so he cut Derek's and Felix's magic chains, then turned around and called Oliver..
“Zenon. you also-”
“-I'm fine.”
Oliver said to Kevin, who was looking back. In reality, Oliver had escaped his magical chains without Kevin's help..
This is in stark contrast to the majority of wizards around them who are whining because they still can't figure it out..
Felix asked, dumbfounded in shock..
“How did you solve it??”
"Change the magic flow and spell to match the hindering magic interference.?”
Oliver spoke plainly about techniques that are obvious but should not be taken for granted..
The reason Kevin broke the magical chain using black magic in the first place was because the method was difficult..
In fact, the proof was that only five or six of the many wizards present were able to escape the magical chains on their own..
I can't believe that a mere employee, let alone a student of the Magic Tower, possesses this level of magical control..
Even Derek and Felix, who knew that Oliver was not an ordinary employee, couldn't help but be surprised... … . But soon none of this mattered..
The surrounding fog shook and turned into a white maw, swallowing the space..

“Don’t you think it’s unfair??”
The top floor of the hotel has been converted into a conference room. Theodore Brandt, the head of the life school, immediately said:.
He, who looked only half his actual age, looked out the fog-covered window, and behind him sat Philip Lore, Honorary Grand Master of the Pure Magic School, and Tilda Iceeye, original master of the Skadi School..
As requested, each person came here alone without an attendant, and Theodore felt an unusual amount of gratitude..
That means trusting yourself that much. It was a rare virtue these days..
“Hmm… … . Mr. Theodore. Can I ask you two questions??”
Philip, the head of the Lore family, spoke politely even though he was in his old age..
Because I respected Theodore. Theodore also responded with respect..
“Try it. You deserve it.”
“What exactly do you mean by unfair??”
“It's everything.”
“Everything.?”
“okay. All of the current absurd social structures and absurd principles. Answer me. Who has the highest knowledge and greatest power among mankind??”
"……Our wizard.”
“that's right… … . So, who is the leading figure who led the golden age of mankind now??”
“……He is also our wizard.”
“that's right. They're all our wizards. The thing that exerts the greatest influence in the world today is magic, and we are the ones in charge of that magic. Well, look at where we are now. Do you think it makes sense??”
Theodore spoke with genuine resentment and anger..
Even though it was the most prosperous era for wizards in history..
“I haven't been able to understand since a long time ago. Why do capitalists who have nothing but money and politicians who only engage in collusion stand shoulder to shoulder with our wizards? Isn't the race of kings, who have no achievements other than being born, above our heads? Do you really think this is right??”
Philip and Tilda. The two giants of the Magic Tower said nothing..
I wasn't surprised by Theodore's radical remarks..
They both read Theodore's papers and interacted with him personally from a young age, so they knew what kind of thoughts Theodore had..
So I wasn't shocked by that statement..
Above all, since Philip and Tilda were both magicians, they agreed to some extent with Theodore's ideas, although only to a different degree. but……
“There are no reactions. Do you think I'm wrong??”
“at all… … . There may be differences of opinion on the details, but we completely agree on the part about wizards being superior. Because we can do things that ordinary humans cannot. It's special.”
“That makes me happy. Lieutenant General Philip.”
“But what do you mean by absurd logic??”
Philip continued to ask questions calmly even though he saw unusual fog beyond the window..
To understand an outstanding wizard who is an elder in the current wizarding society and was once a candidate for the archives..
“The human lifespan determined by God.”
"......."
“Aren’t you feeling unfair? Aren't you also people who have achieved knowledge, power, and achievements that you would be ashamed to put on display, and who have refined themselves throughout their lives? But look. All of us, including you, are slowly getting cursed with aging and getting closer to death. Isn’t it unfair??!”
Theodore was truly angry and afraid. And it was so natural.
Even though he has built a safe that will not run out even after generations of use, has accumulated knowledge that temporarily restores youth, and has accumulated a power reminiscent of a natural disaster, the absolute and unavoidable death that has been decreed from the heavens has been strangling him..
“How vain and absurd is this... … . But there is something more angry and scary than that..”
Theodore's voice gradually began to show emotion..
“Like this, you could die without reaching your goal... … . Even though I worked hard and diligently, I died without being able to reach my goal. Isn't it sad? What on earth is that sky? What is God? They ignore our efforts and hinder our achievements.!!”
It was more of a roar than a persuasion, but surprisingly, it was the most persuasive of all the words I had ever uttered..
Philip and Tilda, like many magicians, were unable to reach their intended heights..
I knew that indescribable fear better than anyone else..
“However, if you escape from the fate set by heaven, a path will open. You can escape from finite life and enjoy eternal life, escape the curse of aging, and gain time to reach your goal. infinite time.”
“Hmm… … . Overall, it's an interesting story..”
Tilda, the original master of the Skadi School, broke the silence and answered..
She gave off a cold aura as usual, so I couldn't read her mind..
“An absurd society that is not proportional to ability, and an absurd principle in which efforts are not rewarded. I roughly understood what the Grand Master wanted to say..”
“I thought you would understand.”
“And if I'm right, it looks like you're thinking of solving this problem..”
“that's right. And I want you to help me.”
A very radical statement that threatens to destroy the current social system and even break the laws of heaven..
However, Philip and Tilda also did not panic, proving that they are experienced wizards..
“What are you going to do? Since you talked to us, there must be a plan and a way, right??”
Theodore turned around to face Philip and Tilda..
“I will build a new magic tower using this Lake Village as a starting point. We will recreate a perfect organization, not a loose alliance, and a true magic tower with only true wizards..”
“Are you going to go to war with the country then??”
“There's no need for that. A new era is coming soon anyway, so we just have to prepare accordingly..”
A new era. It was a sudden and absurd word, but Philip and Tilda did not pay attention to it..
Although Theodore is a person with radical ideas, I knew that he was not a person to talk nonsense..
“A new era??”
“Because the world will soon open up.”
Even though I asked questions, the doubts were not resolved but only piled up..
But that wasn't the end.
“And in the midst of that chaos, only the chosen ones can survive. Take my hand. Then I will give you youth and eternal life..”
It sounded unrealistic, but Philip and Tilda didn't pay attention to it..
Although he was arrogant, he was so proud that he was not a great person to tell lies like this..
“The two of us here... … . Are you saying you convinced the rest of the Magic Tower officials? He is the original master of the Agni School and the Enlil School.."
"They are being persuaded by my grandson. They're good wizards too, but I can't put them on the same level as you..”
“Umm… … . Do you think your grandson can persuade them well??”
“Because he’s my grandson. And it doesn't matter if I can't convince you. If you refuse, there is a way to use your refusal..”
“Sounds like that's the case for us too..”
“It's not like, it's like that. But don't get me wrong. It's the choice I hate the most. I respect you guys. So make the right choice.”
Theodore spoke proudly, to the point of arrogance, and Philip stroked his mane-like beard..
"……Can I ask you one more question??”
“Is this the second question??”
“No, this is a new question..”
“what?”
“You said it would give you youth and eternal life, but does the School of Life have that much technology now??”
"To be honest, I'm still unstable. We have collected, developed, and supplemented many technologies, but one crucial piece is missing. However, it is a problem that can be solved soon.."
“What is the basis?”
“I found the best ingredients.”
Theodore answered with confidence. As if everything that happened right now was because of that..
“That's something I don't understand... … . The best ingredients.”
“I don't know anything up to that point. That's a problem I have to deal with. Your question is whether to accept my offer or not.”
Theodore finally forced an answer. It seems like the statement that they will use it in a different way if they refuse is not a lie..
Philip laughed, released the magic on the miniaturized spear he was holding in his hand, and used the improved magnification magic..
“Get longer.”
As Philip said, the spear became longer and shot forward as quickly as a bullet..
Piwoong—Boom!!
Even though I was easily captured by Theodore's magical hand..
“……Too bad. sincerely. I thought you would understand me.”
“Grow bigger.”
As Philip spoke, the stretched out window grew dozens of times larger. Tearing off Theodore's hand.
"......her."
