Genius Warlock - Episode 325
"……her.”
Theodore looked at his torn hands and made a sound..
It's unexpected, but it doesn't seem like a big deal.
And it wasn't a bluff.
Theodore radiated a high density of magical power from his body, forming a complex magic spell around his body and concentrating it on his arms..
The overlapping magic reacted with each other and formed a mechanical hand made of magic particles, instantly repairing Theodore's damaged arm..
It was a combination of the techniques of the Pure Magic School and the Life School, and although it was a precise magic that required full concentration, Theodore did it lightly, befitting his status as a grand master and an elder in the current magical society..
[Grenade)]
Philip Lore chanted while pouring magic energy into the gigantic spear..
The magical energy that resembles its owner flows through the spear with the force of an angry horse, concentrates on the tip, and explodes. Numerous fragments were scattered everywhere like grenades..
Papababababat!!
Philip looked ahead, blocking the flying debris by creating a magic barrier..
As the dust from the explosion settled, Theodore was seen wearing a magic shield around his body like armor to block the explosion and debris..
he was very relaxed.
“That's amazing... … . It was a turning blow in its own way..”
“I was surprised too. Even though I understand all of the Lore family's technology, I'm still perplexed..”
"If you can win just by knowing, the desk wizard who reads books will be the strongest..”
Lore held the shrunken sword in one hand and threw it with all his might, dispelling the shrunken magic..
Various swords such as Pulsion, Viking Sword, Bowie Knife, Gladius, Long Sword, etc. flew with magical power and attempted to pierce Theodore..
Theodore unleashes the vast magical power hidden within his body. It was as soft as a lump of mud, but it spread a dense magic barrier and caught all flying weapons in the air..
“It's a good attack. If you throw it with magic like this, it's much better than a clumsy magic bullet. Most magical barriers will just break through. Of course, you may be counterattacked. like this.”
Theodore lifted his hand and the specially processed sword broke into dozens of pieces..
Theodore injected magic power into that state and blew it away again..
“Inhale one!!"
Even though two surprise attacks were in vain and dozens of steel fragments flew, Philip did not get discouraged, took out the great sword from his chest, increased its size dozens of times with magic, and swung it with his whole body..
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa——!!!
A huge blade close to the structure will break through the hotel wall and move at incredible speed, crushing Theodore's magic barrier and counterattack. With overwhelming physical power.
Although Theodore easily dodged the attack with movements that were almost divine..
“Do you think you just look younger??”
As if dodging the attack wasn't enough, Theodore quickly approached us using the huge blade as a stepping stone and formed a flashing lightning magic in his hand..
Philip also threw away his great sword and drew an axe, but he was half a beat late..
When Theodore stretched out his hand, the lightning magic emitted an intense light..
Wow——jijijijijijijik!!
Just before the high-voltage current that would melt iron burns Philip's face. Tilda, who was watching the situation, intervened and saved Philip..
He created an ice shield with both hands to block Theodore's attack..
Tilda's ice went beyond blocking Theodore's lightning and absorbed it, conversely trying to encroach on Theodore's hand..
“You're cocky. How dare you challenge me for control?.”
Theodore canceled the lightning magic and immediately changed it to ice magic, interfering with Tilda's ice magic..
Fighting with the One Master of the Skadi School using ice magic..
Surprisingly, Theodore has taken control of the ice magic from Tilda..
"......!"
Blah blah blah!!
When the stolen ice was about to engulf and imprison its former owner, Philip swung an ax and saved Tilda..
The ax blade cutting through the air flew toward Theodore's temple..
Theodore easily dodged the ax with movements similar to those of a beast, far beyond that of an ordinary wizard. The distance widened in the blink of an eye..
“Thank you for helping me earlier. One Master Tilda.”
“Thank you too. Lieutenant General Philip.”
Philip and Tilda exchanged greetings and took off their cumbersome jackets while keeping Theodore in check..
Both of them almost got beaten by Theodore, but instead of being discouraged, they decided to join forces and fight back..
As befits the leaders of an organization. Even Theodore recognized that spirit..
“As expected, these two are amazing. Skills or mental strength. Even though he almost died, he reacted like this... … . That makes me even more sad. Why are you rejecting my hand? Aren’t you afraid of unreachable goals and inevitable death??”
“Is it reasonable for a soldier to be afraid of death? … . I'd like to answer, but honestly, I'm scared..”
“But what should I do??”
“Still, there is good in everything in this world. Theodore… … . The second question I mentioned earlier. Do it now. Are you in collusion with life alchemy? Did you collude with a warlock??”
Philip asked a question while looking at the fog barrier that had been bothering him earlier..
Even Theodore was not at a level where he could have done it alone without a single collaborator..
“……Suddenly my words became lighter. Lieutenant General Philip.”
“I respected you because you were a great wizard. There is no need to respect traitors anymore. Just answer me.”
Philip pressed for an answer, but Theodore did not. He looked at Tilda instead..
“Why did you refuse? Don’t you want to cross the line too??”
“no. I think it's for a more practical reason. The Ice Eye family values the opposite sex..”
“practical reasons?”
“I admit that you are a great wizard, but I still don't think you can beat Merlin. I am not foolish enough to entrust the fate of my family to the losing side.."
Tilda spoke as coldly as ice, and Theodore felt a sharp pain like a toothache. Pain that makes you angry.
I was so angry that I actually started laughing..
“Hehehe… … .Then, there is nothing we can do..”
As soon as they answered, the three wizards on the top floor of the hotel unleashed massive magical power, and a moment later, huge weapons and white ice covered the hotel..

"Crrrrrrrrrrr"
ㅡGyeok!!
A villager who looks like he put a dog's skull in human skin... … . No, it was a villager, so Oliver swung the tonfa and broke his neck..
The chimera, which did not back down from any attack or threat, fell to the ground and died. Oliver, who saw this, turned around and said to Kevin..
“This is sorted out.”
Kevin answered, leaving dozens of burnt corpses scattered around him. Among the corpses were chimeras, but there were also many wizards believed to be members of the Life School. Kevin took them down all by himself..
“Good job.”
“no… … . Are you better than that??”
Oliver asked, seeing through Kevin's complex emotions..
“well. I'd like to say it's okay, but honestly I can't. I don't even know where this is.”
Kevin answered, scanning the space surrounded by fog..
Not only that, the front, back, and sides, as well as the sky, were covered in hazy fog, making it impossible to tell where one was..
Apparently, they were at the demonstration site just a moment ago, but when the fog engulfed them, they ended up here alone with Oliver..
If I hadn't reflexively grabbed Oliver who was nearby, I probably would have fallen alone..
‘Are you planning on breaking them up and attacking them one by one? Simple but effective.’
Kevin analyzed the magic, flow, and patterns contained in the fog to infer the enemy's strategy..
It seemed to be based on barrier magic that physically separates space, with the magic of the space school added, but it was not at an average level..
‘No matter how you look at it, it is so large that it covers the entire Lake Village, and the level of the magic is so high. Even if you use the lake's magic, you can't control it... … . I can't feel it..’
Kevin was astonished by the ridiculous level of magic and tried to guess who could cause this..
Although there are quite a few skilled wizards here, there are less than five people who can handle this level of magic..
It would be reasonable for multiple wizards to join forces, but considering that the fog swallowed them earlier, it was unlikely..
As soon as the surprise attack fails, they respond by immediately swallowing it up. It was difficult for an organization to respond quickly like this..
‘Or did you hand over control to one person? Even so, average skills... … . wait what am i doing?’
Kevin reprimanded his foolishness..
I ended up acting foolishly in a situation that was too out of the norm..
Analyzing this fog barrier and finding out who did this was obviously an important issue, but first, finding a way out of it was in order..
Even though I defeated dozens of enemies, I was still trapped here like an insect..
First of all, the priority was to get out of here..
‘The problem is that it's hard for me alone.…….'
“xenon.”
As Kevin assessed the situation and was looking at what he could do, he called Oliver..
Surprisingly, while Kevin was lost in thought, Oliver was laying the chimera he had defeated earlier on the floor, cutting open its stomach with a checkered dagger and examining its insides..
When it came to dissection, Kevin also tried to get tired of it, but due to the circumstances, he ended up frowning..
“what are you doing now?”
“I was checking because I was worried about something..”
Oliver, whose hands were stained red from the crude dissection, answered with his usual intonation and tone. That's why it gave me even more goosebumps. Because it looks like you're doing something ordinary.
“……What's bothering you??”
“I am an improved human being..”
“what?”
“The internal structure of the body is similar to the improved human-C03 seen in Mountain Face. I guess this is why the vitality and magic power are subtly strange.."
Kevin asked as he looked at the chimera, which was a human skin with a dog's head..
“Didn't you say that the thing you saw at Mountain Face was a cow's head??”
“Yes, it was a cow. But, this is a dog… … . I guess this is for soldiers, not labor..”
Oliver made his own guess, and Kevin wasn't surprised..
It wasn't anything new for the School of Life to do something like that. Rather, what was surprising was that the School of Life was involved in this mess..
‘I knew he was a little crazy, but he did something like this. Why on earth……?’
At a time when Kevin was worried, Oliver expressed his doubts..
“That's strange by the way.”
“what?”
“Even chimeras are afraid when they see me, but these guys attack me... … . Is this because of brain surgery??”
Oliver pointed to the surgical scar that stretched from his temple to the back of his head..
Maybe that's why. Because the true heart of man is in the brain, not the heart..
“Well, I think the first thing to do is to get out of here..”
Kevin spoke firmly, fearing that the story would fall into Samcheonpo again..
Fortunately, Oliver understood the meaning right away, put aside his personal curiosity, used his torn clothes as a towel to wipe his bloody hands, and stood up..
The series of movements gave off an atmosphere so ordinary that it gave me a bit of goosebumps..
“sorry. professor.”
"are you okay. Anyway, I figured out the situation in the meantime... … . It seems that the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department, which hosted the conference, did this..”
Oliver seemed to have guessed the same thing and immediately nodded..
Well, it was a problem that even a little bit of intelligence could figure out..
“I don't know why they did this, but one thing is for sure, they got it right. The fog itself has no ability to harm us, but instead, it completely traps us so that we cannot escape. Also, you can move it wherever you want, so it's like being in the hands of your enemies..”
“I also think the same way. It looks very tricky as it seems like space school magic has been added to the basic barrier magic..”
“that's right. So that's the problem. Because if you can't handle space magic, you can't escape..”
Kevin said with frustration. Even the space school has less than 30% of those who can use it without assistive devices..
In a way, it was the most difficult barrier..
There was a way to distort the barrier itself using overwhelmingly powerful magic, but that wasn't a very good idea..
If you do that, you'll use up all your stamina and magic power and be vulnerable to the next attack. No, maybe the wizards who performed this vast and complex technique could have come running this way..
‘But I can't just sit back and do nothing..’
Just as Kevin was once again in trouble, Oliver suddenly approached the fog and stretched out his hand to try to make contact with it..
And then said.
“I think I can use the barrier by interfering with magic..”
