Genius Warlock-Episode 326
“I think I can use it to interfere with magic..”
Oliver, who was in contact with the fog, suddenly said:.
Kevin should have gotten used to it by now, but he still couldn't get used to it and asked.
“Is it really possible to use space school magic??”
“no. I don't know how to use it properly.”
"I don't know how to use it properly?”
“It cannot be made in the air without any medium, and paper can only be used as a medium. Do you remember the first time we fought??”
“ah… … . I remember. I summoned two portals using paper. Three zombies came out of one of them, grabbed me, and blew themselves up..”
“ah… … . There was no malice.”
“Let's skip over the little things.”
Kevin said sincerely. He tried to kill Oliver himself..
“Anyway, that paper is your magic, not a magic item.?”
“yes. I think it's more of a shortcut rather than an item..”
“expedient?”
“yes. It's a method I created because I couldn't use Space School magic properly... … . It's shabby compared to the skills of the elderly..”
Oliver gave his honest opinion, but Kevin didn't think that way..
Magic is a discipline that must be regarded as a skill in itself..
However, there was no time to discuss this issue..
“Let’s put all the little details aside for now. The bottom line is, you can get out of here now.?”
“yes. I'm not sure, but it looks like you can use the space magic of fog to move to the desired location..”
Kevin was delighted with Oliver's answer. A big problem was solved in an unexpected way. But immediately my head started spinning again..
In fact, the current situation is presumed to be a result of Landa's Life School and Gallos' Life Alchemy Department joining forces, so I have no idea where to go and how to respond..
It was even unclear how many collaborators they would have..
While the opponent's power was too strong, there was too little information on our side..
“Is it possible to move outside the fog??”
“I think it's possible. Would you like to move out of the fog??”
“……Surprising group.”
“yes?”
“I think you told me not to do that out of curiosity. Also, it seemed like he would say that the students, including Derek and Felix, should help as well..”
“ah… … . The situation is the situation, first of all, I am the professor's personal employee right now.?”
Oliver tilted his head and answered.
Well, the statement itself wasn't wrong..
It was appropriate for an individual employee to listen to the professor, and it made no common sense to help anyone in the current situation..
It's difficult to even take care of my own body..
Even if I get out of here alone, there will be no one to blame..
No, it would have been better to run away alone and let the public know about the current situation..
‘Obviously, that's more correct…….'
Kevin was conflicted between reason and emotion, and then he opened his mouth..
“xenon.”
“Yes, professor.”
"Do you know where the World Tree is??”
“Yes, I know. I confirmed this when looking at the water vein..”
"Well then, let’s go to the place where the World Tree is. I have to do as much as I can... … . Can I ask you a favor??”
“yes of course.”
Oliver responded with interest in what Kevin said. He then released the magic power stored in his body and attempted to interfere with the magic power and magic contained in the fog..
Surprisingly, part of this vast and complex technique responded as Oliver said. Kevin couldn't help but be amazed when he saw that..
Can we put this in the category of talent?……
“going.”
With Oliver's words, the fog that had hung like a curtain rose and swallowed Oliver and Kevin like dozens of tentacle-like mouths..
After a while, the hazy fog cleared and a new scenery came into view..
Near the forest across Lake Village, Terence Lore and Yareli Iceeye stood out of breath, having just finished a fight..
Around them were frozen floors, sharp icebergs, dozens of craters reminiscent of artillery shells, and many horribly torn, frozen bodies strewn about..
a completely unexpected meeting.
While everyone was silent, Oliver took his hand away from the fog and opened his mouth..
"Hello to both of you?"
***
silence.
Terence and Yarely were both silent at the unexpected meeting and Oliver's greeting..
The brain can't keep up with the situation.
Kevin approached them without saying anything out of consideration, and then Yarely shook his head and opened his mouth..
“how… … . It's done?”
"It was caused by the School of Life and the Department of Life Alchemy..”
Yareli's question was probably not about how he got here, but Kevin deliberately gave a different answer..
Explaining why I was here would have meant telling too much about Oliver, but it was completely useless, both for Kevin's personal reasons and the current public situation..
The most important thing right now was to understand the situation as accurately as possible and find a solution, or run away from here..
Yareli was unable to refute right away, perhaps because he was tired, and Kevin continued talking to take control of the situation..
“Terence. Where is Lieutenant General Philip??”
“Theodore called me and I went to see him. Without a single attendant... … . Tilda One Master too. What do you mean, what the life school did?.”
“Literally. A large-scale barrier like this occurred at a conference hosted by the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department, but common sense tells us who caused it? Also, this corpse is proof of that..”
Kevin said, pointing to the chimera, which resembles a human skin with a dog's skull inside..
“chimera?”
“To be precise, he is an improved human being. It's a research product being studied at the School of Life. Many of the villagers and hotel staff here were turned into this..”
Yarelli was surprised by Kevin's remarks..
It was a story that was so horrible and outside of common sense. No, it seemed like she didn't know much about this kind of research before that..
The evidence surprised Terence, but the results were different. Although he was okay with the research itself, he seemed surprised that it had been used in this way..
Terence asked questions to gather information..
"how do you know that?”
“I can explain if you want, is that okay? I don't have time.”
What Kevin said was true..
Currently, time was extremely short. An unknown enemy who understood the situation could have controlled the fog again and dropped us, and the safety of Philip and Tilda, who went to see Theodore, was also unknown..
There was no time to understand details that were not directly related to the situation at hand..
Of course, Terence, who is serving as a military wizard, also recognized this fact..
“That's right... … . For now, let’s postpone the details later..”
“It makes sense now. Yareli. you?”
Kevin asked, looking at Yareli to prevent annoying words from coming out..
Her grandmother, who had also gone to see Theodore, nodded..
It was full of suspicious and questionable things, but the priority was to resolve the immediate situation..
“I'm glad. Well then, move..”
Kevin, who had taken control of the situation, walked into the forest..
On the way, I called Oliver and asked him where the World Tree was, and Oliver, who had been watching quietly, moved quickly and showed me where the World Tree was..
“Trying to connect to the world tree?”
Terence asked as we arrived in front of the World Tree..
“okay. The world tree is the only way to properly understand what’s going on right now..”
“It's no use.”
“It's no use? What are you talking about?”
"I tried connecting too, but it failed..”
“To fail?”
“Literally. The moment I tried to access the root net, I was blocked by a huge wall and was immediately thrown out..”
Kevin, who knew Terence's skills, looked surprised and embarrassed..
Both Kevin and Terence had the skills of professional Net Navigators..
The fact that Terence failed means that something got in the way..
It seemed that the School of Life did not intend to do anything..
Interfering with access to the World Tree was only possible if the number and skills of those attempting access were greater than those attempting access..
It didn't make sense for any school of life to have that much manpower..
A thought crossed Kevin's mind..
“Net Navigator's Banghae?”
"that… … . I don't think so. When the net navigator gets in the way, your consciousness should crash into each other like waves, but instead, it literally felt like you were blocked by a wall. I don't know what it is, but at least it's not Net Navigator..”
Kevin looked at Oliver quietly. Oliver tilted his head, not knowing why Kevin was looking at him..
Kevin opened his mouth..
“Still, I'll have to try connecting once. I'll think about it after I try it.”
Neither Terence nor Yarely tried to stop them. If Kevin's skills were good and he succeeded in connecting to the World Tree, it would be a benefit, and if he failed, it would not be a loss..
Kevin gathered magical energy at his fingertips, placed it on the World Tree, and closed his eyes..
Accordingly, Terence ordered Yareli and Oliver to surround and protect the defenseless Kevin..
After a while, Kevin came to his senses and opened his mouth..
“Really... … . It's surrounded by a huge wall.”
Based on the reaction, it seemed like the connection failed. Just as Terence and Yarely were about to ask what to do next, Kevin made an unbelievable statement..
“Zenon… … . You try connecting.”
***
Everyone except Kevin couldn't believe their ears..
That's right, accessing the World Tree is a technology that can only be achieved with natural talent, technique, and mental power..
Among wizards, there were only a few who could do it..
However, I couldn't help but be surprised to see that it was done by a personal employee of a professor with magical powerlessness who was not even a student, let alone a wizard..
And what surprised Oliver was the same..
I can't believe he says this when he's alone with Terence and Yarely. I was very embarrassed.
When Oliver looked at Kevin as if asking about this, Kevin also looked at Oliver and spoke with his eyes..
I don't know the specific meaning, but since the situation is urgent, it seemed to mean that we should do the urgent work first..
Oliver thought for a moment and nodded. It would be meaningless to deny it now. Also, it is true that the situation is serious..
“……Excuse me.”
Oliver switches positions with Kevin. Yareli and Terence reacted even more surprised..
Terence and Yarely tried to question the situation, but Kevin, who took the lead in the situation, easily silenced them..
I'm telling you to ignore the little things in the current situation..
Terence and Yarely close their mouths. Oliver left it to Kevin to take care of his problems, gathered the magical energy stored in his body with his fingertips, and attempted to connect to the World Tree..
Pak———!
With a sound like a candle blowing out in a strong wind, Oliver accessed the World Tree's Root Net..
As Terence and Kevin said, a huge, black wall with no end in sight was erected in front of Oliver..
A phenomenon I have never seen before..
But strangely enough, Oliver felt a sense of déjà vu, having experienced something similar in the past..
‘When was it?…….'
Ah, I remembered. I experienced something similar when I accessed the World Tree to get information before infiltrating Mattel..
While checking information from the life research institute Mattel, a huge eye appeared out of thin air and asked Oliver a question. [Who are you?].
At that time, those eyes and this wall had a similar feeling..
‘Also, it is similar to Eve..’
At that time, Oliver may have been in a bit of a hurry, so with an inexplicable persistence, he swung his hand towards the annoying eyes and broke them like shards of glass. Referring to the memory of that time, Oliver swung his hand towards the black wall once again..
Because it was an urgent situation.
Fortunately, the wall that seemed impenetrable shattered like thin ice with a single gesture from Oliver..
With that, the empty world beyond the wall, Root Net, came into view..
“Eve. can you help me?”
As soon as Oliver entered the net, he spoke out loud, and his words spread like echoes, and then a green mass of unified energy appeared in front of his eyes, as fast as light but softly..
It was Eve.
[Did you call me? … … oliver.]
“Yes, it's been a while..”
