Genius Warlock-Episode 329
get on. get on. get on.
Oliver and Yareli followed the information given by Eve and infiltrated the laboratory located on one side of Lake Village..
The name was a joint laboratory between the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department, but in reality it was a human warehouse storing the wizards kidnapped in this raid..
While looking into the overall situation in Lake Village through Eve, I learned that there are three other warehouses like this..
“where should i go.”
Yareli, who was accompanying Oliver, asked when they reached a fork in the road..
Oliver looked to the right and left alternately, then placed his hand on a completely different side of the hallway, applied magical power, and activated the installed magic to open the hole-like entrance..
Olive answered by going under it..
“It's down here.”
When Oliver went in, he could see the real secret passageway below..
The first two crossroads are secret passages that the Life School had figured out in advance, and according to Eve's explanation, considering that such a large-scale event had been prepared, the Life School and the Life Alchemy Department did not trust each other that much..
The evidence is that they secretly create secret passages to spy on each other, or pretend not to know about such secret passages and monitor them..
‘But apart from that, I think preparation is great..’
thought Oliver as he looked around the well-appointed secret passageway..
I was really curious. Did they do this simply to turn numerous wizards into materials?……
Of course, it is difficult to obtain materials of this quantity and quality, but something was unclear..
I feel like something crucial is missing.?
When Oliver was so worried, he heard Yarely whining..
“……Shall I pull it for you??”
Oliver asked politely as he looked at Yareli with her chest hanging at the entrance..
It was a well-intentioned remark, but after hearing the story, Yareli struggled with embarrassment and shame, and barely managed to get out and land softly on the floor..
"......."
Yareli stares at Oliver silently..
Oliver asked, looking at Yareli like that..
“What mistake did I make??”
“……no.”
Yareli lied..
It seemed like Oliver had made a mistake..
Obviously, as I learned at Angel's House, I kindly suggested it to a woman who was in trouble..
‘Was the hand movement the problem??’
Yareli said while looking at Oliver who was worried..
“I'm really fine, don't worry about it..”
“ah… … . Yes, I understand. Well then, shall we go??”
Oliver asked, pointing ahead, and Jarelli nodded..
Compared to my initial desire to save my grandmother, I was quite motivated..
“First of all, I'm sorry.”
“What?”
“I told you about the students being caught here, so Yareli came here too, didn't he??”
Maybe Yareli hit the nail on the head, but he couldn't answer right away..
At first, I was going to save the old woman who was fighting Theodore, but I was assigned here because of Oliver..
Of course, there was a way to ignore Derek, Felix and other people who were kidnapped by the School of Life, but Kevin and Terence could not do that and sent Yarely and Oliver this way..
“no… … . are you okay.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Anyway, if Theodore, Philip, and Grandma are fighting, there won't be anything for me or you to do. It's better to save other people from here..”
It was disappointing, but it wasn't a lie.
“Is that so?”
“yes. This is correct. If you are a Magic Tower student..”
Yareli's strong sense of duty and determination shone through. He felt restrained, protecting his body like a suit of armor..
She looked a little tired, but she tried to get through it. Truly, it was great patience..
“Can I also ask a question? Mr. Zenon.”
“yes? To me?”
“yes. what are you?”
Jarelli asked, looking at Oliver through his thick glasses..
Oliver was embarrassed by the sudden question..
“hmm… … . Am I still suspicious??”
“sorry. I don't mean anything bad. I just want to be clear. Because the situation is the situation.”
It wasn't wrong..
The School of Life not only suddenly betrayed the Magic Tower, but also joined hands with external forces to attack, so it wasn't strange to be careful about everything..
In addition, although Yareli may have expressed doubts and insecurities, there was no hostility toward Oliver..
As if to prove what she said, she added an explanation..
“I personally thank you. Because you found out the situation through the World Tree and even allowed us to move using the fog barrier... … . But it also makes me anxious. Even among the masters, I haven't seen anyone of that level..”
“Mr. Yareli.”
As Yarely spoke, Oliver suddenly stopped. Yareli looked at Oliver with a nervous expression..
“I think I need to go into this vent now..”
Oliver said, pointing to an exhaust fan entrance the size of a narrow hallway..
Without receiving an answer to his question, Yareli entered the basement ventilation fan, which was the size of a narrow hallway..
I asked the question twice but didn't get a proper answer..
It may have been quite unpleasant, but it didn't matter to Yareli because of the sight he could see through the gap in the ventilation fan..
"......!"
A human with a cow's head was cutting open a person's stomach and taking out the organs, as if cutting meat at a butcher shop..
Yareli was quite shocked..
“……That is?”
“This is the improved human worker version that the professor mentioned. It was created by the School of Life..”
Yareli looked at Oliver as if wondering how she knew, but Oliver was so busy observing the improved human that he couldn't pay attention to her gaze..
“hmm… … . Still, I guess I'm glad.”
“……What?”
“As I found out from the World Tree, there seem to be few wizards in this lab itself, perhaps because it's busy up there..”
Oliver guessed as he looked at Improved Human-C03, which was removing organs with crude skill..
If there were enough workers, they wouldn't have entrusted such delicate work to them... … . Well, maybe it’s natural.
Even if the villagers were turned into chimeras and an alliance was formed with the Life Alchemy Department, the absolute numbers of the Life School were smaller, so it would have been difficult to place many troops in a warehouse like this..
That means it is easy to escape by releasing the captured wizards..
Oliver told Yarely to hurry..
She nodded at Oliver's words, but there was something disapproving about her..
“Mr. Zenon... … . You look used to this sort of thing.?”
“Mr. Yareli seems less accustomed to this sort of thing.?”
Oliver answered Yarely's question with a question..
If someone saw it, they might think it was sarcastic, but Oliver didn't mean to do that, he was just genuinely curious..
I thought wizards were used to this kind of sight. In fact, Kevin also said that he has done quite a bit of dissection..
However, perhaps he misunderstood Oliver's feelings, and Yarely was a little displeased..
“Not all wizards are familiar with dissection. That's the discriminatory opinion of ordinary people who don't know much about Magic Tower. Excuse me.”
“Oh, I see.?”
“yes. The wizard is not some sort of warlock..”
“Even warlocks don't really do dissection. Mr. Yareli. Depending on the series, dissection may not be done..”
That was true. Excluding the manipulation branch that specializes in dealing with corpses, the disease branch that conducts clinical experiments, and the creation branch that requires knowledge of creating creatures, dissection was rarely performed..
In other words, out of the four branches, one branch of the firearms branch was not allowed to do so..
‘……Ah, black magic is close to dissection..’
Oliver thought about correcting him later, but Yarely asked the opposite question..
“I know quite a bit about black magic.?”
“……I learned this while helping Professor Kevin..”
Oliver thought about it for about 3 seconds and then sold Kevin out. He was entrusted with a difficult task, and he was instructed to act at his discretion..
I thought it was a really obvious lie, but Yareli didn't really think so, and looked at Oliver with suspicious eyes again..
Fortunately, something soon appeared to divert attention..
“here.”
Oliver said, pointing to the ventilator entrance..
Yarrelli looked at Oliver suspiciously, but did as he was told and looked inside through the ventilation fan entrance, and found Derek, Felix, and other students detained there..
The total number of people was twelve, every one of them tied to a chair with a belt..
Magical energy flowed through the belt, disrupting the magical power of the restrained opponent..
‘Everyone is asleep. Is there something strange? Is it a drug??’
Oliver thought as he looked at his subtle emotional state, vitality, and magic power. I thought it was something like that because I fell asleep..
After looking inside, Oliver and Yareli made eye contact, then nodded and used magic to tear off the iron bars of the ventilator and went inside..
“oh my god……."
Yareli, who came inside and looked around, muttered in astonishment..
The inside was clean, but I felt like the people here treated them like objects rather than people..
Yareli felt horrified, disgusted, angry, and slightly scared by the phenomenon in front of him..
“Hey Derek. are you okay?”
Yareli tried to shake Derek awake. However, Derek did not get up at all, and Yarely quickly tried to undo the belt that restrained his body..
At that moment, Oliver knew something was wrong..
“Mr. Yareli. first-”
ㅡPow!
Before Oliver could finish speaking, the belt was undone and Derek's body inflated like a balloon and then burst..
Massive amounts of blood and flesh splattering everywhere..
And other people in the inner space also burst like water balloons..
Fishy, red blood filling the space.
Oliver felt a sense of déjà vu. He felt the deja vu he felt at Mountain Face..
Perhaps that was why, following his instincts rather than his brain, Oliver grabbed the shoulders of Yareli, who was covered in blood and in panic, and pulled him, while at the same time spewing out the magic contained in his body in all directions..
Don't let the puddle of blood that fills the floor cover the ground Oliver is stepping on..
Fortunately and unfortunately, Oliver's prediction was correct..
Large and small pieces of exploded flesh sank to the bottom of the pool of blood and disappeared, as if they were falling into the blood pooled on the floor..
Yareli looked at it and asked.
“Well, what is it??”
“A puddle of blood. It's one of the blood magics..”
Oliver, who suffered from that in the past, kindly explained it..
“There is nothing like that in blood magic.……."
“It is not in the blood magic of the Mage Tower, but in the blood magic of the warlock. For your information, Derek and Felix are safe, so don't worry. I don't think it was them who exploded.."
Oliver said that and rushed forward, pulling Yarely to his side. He broke down the door and went out..
First of all, the priority was to get out of the space where the blood pooled..
The solid iron door was broken by Oliver's magic-charged kick, and Oliver and Yareli, covered in blood, were able to get out of the hallway..
“……What does it mean that Derek and Felix are safe? It just exploded in front of my eyes..”
Yareli asked with shaking eyes. Her composure was somewhat broken due to being covered in his blood. Nevertheless, with strong patience, I did not let go of reason..
“They did a good job of creating the external and internal aspects, but they probably weren't themselves..”
“then……?”
“It must be a blood balloon..”
“blood balloon?”
“yes. It's very different from the blood balloons I know, but it's essentially the same..”
[That's right, that's correct.]
Suddenly, a foreign third voice intervened..
Oliver and Jarelli turned their heads in the direction of the sound..
Towards the warehouse where the blood was pooled. There, blood pooled on the floor, stood in the shape of a human being..
[Nice to meet you.]
