Genius Warlock - Episode 330
“Yes, nice to meet you too..”
Oliver looked at the human-shaped lump of blood and greeted him without a moment of hesitation. I even slightly lifted his hand..
Yarelli, who was surprised to see blood magic for the first time, was even more surprised by Oliver's reaction, and the blood clot man also looked embarrassed..
But that wasn't the end.
“Are you by any chance... the One Master of the Blood Magic School??”
The bloody man tilted his head as if it was the correct answer..
[……How did you know?]
“On the first day I came to the academy, Derek taught me in the social hall. The original master of the Blood Magic School has arrived. The magic I'm using right now is blood magic. Where are Derek and Felix??”
Oliver asked lightly as he passed by. Because he was really asking lightly..
[under… … Are you worried??]
“yes. Professor, I'm a researcher..”
The reason I'm worried is because I'm a professor and researcher... … . It looked normal on the outside, but inside I felt a distortion that couldn't be easily explained in words. A twist that will make even those with an overwhelming advantage nervous..
“Why did you do this??”
Yareli intervened in the strange atmosphere..
[what?]
“I asked him why he did this. The Life School, which is clearly a member of the Magic Tower, joined hands with another organization to attack the invited guests..”
[I think it's too much.]
“of course!”
Yarely, who was calm, raised his voice in a rare way and became angry..
Because he was covered in blood, his composure was shaken, and he was truly angry at the betrayal of the Life School..
What's interesting is that rather than simply being angry at the damage done to oneself, he was angry at the current situation itself..
[Well, it's not that I don't understand. Honestly, I feel bad about the current situation. However, I hope you understand. Because we're just responding to the coming crisis..]
The coming crisis... . Yareli frowned at the unknown sound, and Oliver showed interest..
The bloody man continued talking as if he was excited..
[I can't go into detail, but soon something will happen that will transform heaven and earth. Only those who foresee the future and prepare for it can survive. It's just a small sacrifice for the job..]
“hmm… … . I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Could you explain it more clearly??”
Oliver raised his hand and asked politely, but the bloody man only seemed displeased..
[Of course you won't understand. Inferior species that are not wizards... … . But you can understand, having heard that he was a genius even in the Magic Tower. Yareli.]
“no. I don't understand either..”
Yarely shook his head resolutely..
The bloody man was displeased when the conversation did not go as expected..
He seemed to think that if he came forward, he could easily persuade anyone..
[Well, then there’s nothing I can do about it… . Even if you are said to be a genius, you are still a student. Shall we have a more productive conversation? Come towards us. The winner and loser has already been decided, and your grandmother will eventually come to our side too..]
Yareli reflexively looked at Oliver. Oliver shook his head..
“As far as I know, you are fighting with Theodore. And very hard too..”
[lie. Your name is Zenon, right? Red Man's personal employee? What does a guy like that know?.]
“I'm not just an employee.”
Yareli cut off the bloody man's words..
“Zenon can see the World Tree..”
[It must be a lie.]
“No, I saw it. Professor Matop also acknowledged it..”
Yareli's strong faith shined. Professor Mapap must have been referring to Kevin, but it was quite interesting..
Obviously, Kevin and Yarely had an indirect bad relationship, but I can't believe they trust each other this much..
It was a public belief that was free from personal feelings..
She brought that faith back to life.
“And I believe that my grandmother, the original master of the Skadi School, would not indulge in such a miserable matter..”
The bloody man was silent. Perhaps thanks to his projection of himself through blood, Oliver was able to vaguely see his emotions, and he was feeling humiliated, annoyed, and angry because things were not going as planned..
After a while, he tried to pretend he was okay..
[Well, okay… … . If you don't take the opportunity, there is another way. Also, I received orders from above to hold you back as long as possible..]
The bloody man looked at Oliver and said.
It was an unexpected fact. Are you telling me to catch Oliver?……
Just as Oliver, the person in question, was about to ask the reason, something was detected through Yareli and Oliver's magic sense..
Multiple creatures in the basement approached this way..
[You are free to choose, but you have to pay the price, right? Try your best to run away... … . Oh, by the way, there are some that I haven't taken here yet. Originally, I was planning to take you to the materials soon, but I'll wait for you while you're here. You came here to save those guys in the first place..]
As if the bloody man was proving his words, the moaning sounds of people who seemed to have just come to their senses suddenly came from the next room and the hallway..
Oliver focused his eyes..
As the bloody man said, there were real people in addition to the blood balloons disguised as people. It's subtle, but now I can barely distinguish it..
“Did you wake him up with blood magic??”
[Because I put him to sleep with blood magic. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep saving the people here? Or will you run away?]
The bloody man asked mockingly..
Yareli looked at Oliver in confusion at the provocation of the bloody man threatening him with a hostage, but Oliver asked a question instead of an opinion. Like a blood clot human.
“What do you want to do? Mr. Yareli.”
The voice, which was not only calm but even simple, gave off a good feeling, and it embarrassed not only Yareli but even the bloody man who heard those words..
".....Zenon, do you have any thoughts??”
“yes. I don't have any specific opinion to give. No Derek or Felix..”
Yareli was dumbfounded by the sincere answer. No, it was more than that..
Obviously, it was Oliver who said there were people kidnapped here, and it was Oliver who asked if they should save them, but when the moment of choice came, he didn't give any opinion and only asked for their opinion..
It was normal for Yareli to be angry..
However, contrary to Yareli's feelings, Oliver did not really have an opinion..
When I talked about the situation here, I was simply telling Kevin exactly what Eve had told me..
[You really are heartless. Without a moment's hesitation, you're telling me to abandon the people trapped here..]
The bloody man said it was a provocation, but it didn't have the same impact on Oliver..
“No, I’m just saying I don’t have an opinion… … . You can ask to save him, or you can escape without saving him... … . Since everyone here is a wizard, wouldn't they have some level of preparedness for a situation like this??”
Oliver explained to Yareli and the blood clot man, who were looking at him with an expression of incomprehension..
Just as if you work as a fixer, you have to be prepared to be killed, if you are a wizard who conducts human experiments, you too must be prepared to be in a similar situation..
If it's not like that, isn't it a bit different??
[You're a bit... … . It's annoying. From before. I don't like it.]
As the blood clot man spoke, he made a bloody blade and tried to attack Oliver..
Oliver saw that and didn't react in any way. Because Yareli moved first.
Her mind was shaken by the provocation and pressure of the bloody human, but she soon regained her composure and skillfully injected magic into the ground, freezing the blood clots in one beat..
‘I can't solve it either..’
Oliver thought as he looked at the blood-covered human who was unable to break the ice on his own and whose functions had stopped..
I thought it might escape on its own by raising the temperature of the blood like Bathory, but as expected, the level of blood magic did not seem to be at that level..
Compared to Bathory's blood magic, its level was very low..
Oliver took out a tonfa from his waist and smashed the frozen block of ice into pieces, putting an appropriately sized piece of ice into his arms. Just in case, I don't know.
Yareli, who was watching this, gathered his magic power and performed a magic spell in his hand, shooting ice magic towards both hallways and freezing the improved humans running this way..
After thinking about it, Yareli asked:.
“If I ask you to help me, will you help me??”
“yes."
Oliver answered, remembering Kevin's words to protect and help Yareli as much as possible..
“Are you planning on rescuing the kidnapped people??”
“yes. It seems like they are moving according to the other person's wishes, but I don't think it would be good to leave it like this..”
Oliver agreed..
Considering that the people who were locked in the warehouse were moved with great effort and replaced with blood balloons, it seems that they were not moved for no reason..
There must be a good reason why such work was done despite a lack of manpower..
I didn't know what it was, but it seemed like it would be a good idea to interfere, even if it meant taking some risk..
“The problem is whether you can properly distinguish between people and those blood balloons..”
“Ah, I think I can do that..”
***
It wasn't easy to distinguish between a blood balloon disguised as a person and a real person, but Oliver was able to tell the difference once he saw the subtle difference..
Oliver helped Yareli break down the door where the people were trapped, and pointed out people who looked like blood balloons and used Yareli's ice magic to prevent them from popping open like before..
After ensuring safety, Oliver helped the people who were tied to the chairs by unfastening their belts..
Most of the people had just woken up, so it was easy to pick them out, but Oliver was able to take a closer look and pick out the ones who hadn't woken up..
All of the people who were tied up had difficulty moving properly, perhaps due to the influence of blood magic, but fortunately, the level of blood magic itself was low, so Oliver was able to help to some extent just by contacting them and interfering with their magic..
‘As expected, the mechanisms of the Magic Tower's blood magic and the Bathory family's blood magic are the same. The difference is the proportion of black magic added... ...Did the Bathory Family and the School of Life change the blood magic knowledge they gained during their dealings in their own way??’
Oliver thought as he released more than twenty people..
Besides that, doubts continued to pile up..
For example, the original master said that he received an order from above to capture him... ... Obviously, the only person who can give orders to the original master of the Blood Magic School is the Life School Grand Master..
Why on earth?
‘Is it because of Professor Kevin??’
“Is this the last time?”
Yareli said in front of the last room.
She had just been released from bondage and was defending more than twenty slow-moving people, fighting and winning alone against improved humans and a small number of magicians who were pressuring them from all directions..
They said he was a talented person who wouldn't be surprised if he became an official wizard, but it was more than just a rumor..
Of course, I spent a lot of stamina and magic by dealing with many people for a long time..
Oliver answered.
“Yeah, I think these are the last ones..”
Oliver said, looking around with the eyes of a warlock..
Yareli was relieved and tried to move again..
“great. Well, now move.-”
Yareli stopped mid-sentence. Aren't the improved humans frozen by Yareli's ice magic shaking?.
Yareli became alert and gathered his magic power at the sight of him being out of the norm, and Oliver also looked at him..
The life force of the improved human fluctuated, exploded like a bomb, and a blood-red haired man appeared and blocked the way..
He was the original master of the blood magic school that Derek mentioned..
He manipulated the blood scattered around and swung it like a blade and spoke..
“After all, I have to step forward..”
A sharp moving bloody blade.
Yareli once again covered the entire area with ice and created a huge wall of ice to defend himself, but the blood-red blade cut through the ice very easily..
The other rescued wizards tried to help Yareli by gathering their magic power despite their weak bodies, but the original master of blood magic turned their blood into an awl and easily pierced them..
[Blood Donation)]
The bloody awl that pierced the body with a chant sucked the blood of the target and shriveled like a mummy..
Of course, the size of the awl that absorbed the blood grew, and Yareli was embarrassed by that sight..
Looking at her like that, the original master asked:.
“Are you really not planning on coming our way??”
After seeing his magic being easily suppressed, Yareli decided to do something and took off his thick glasses to glare at the original master of blood magic..
As soon as the original master saw this, he created a curtain of blood..
Then, surprisingly, the part of the blood curtain that Yareli's gaze touched began to freeze..
Oliver wondered what that was..
“Ice Eye's unique ability... … ! That's reckless. I'm still not handling it properly.?”
Master One shouted and explained kindly..
As if that were true, Yareli's eyes were slowly eroded by the cold, the area around them became open and blood began to form..
Still, Yarely did not stop..
“I can overpower at least one of you.!”
Sincerity. But Master Won laughed at this..
“Where should I check? … … [Blood fire)]”
Master Won chanted, and the blood curtain that was almost completely frozen suddenly boiled and ignited into sticky blood-red flames..
It's enough to overwhelm even Yareli's eyes..
He tried to manipulate the flames to attack Yareli, and Yareli put his glasses back on and tried to block the fire with a huge wall of ice..
Even though it was no match for firepower and melted down,.
The wizards running back, the blood-red flames attacking them, and Yareli trying to fight back..
Oliver, who saw everything, jumped into the blood..
“xenon?!”
“Crazy guy. I knew he was screwed, but I didn't know he was crazy enough to kill himself.."
Oliver may have been annoyed, but Master Won was happy and increased the firepower of Blood Flower to the fullest..
The intention is not to leave even ashes behind..
but something was strange.
Blood was gradually losing control..
"It helps that I saw Mr. Bathory and Mr. Derek's magic..”
Oliver said, wearing blood flowers like armor, and rushed at the original master..
