Genius Warlock-Episode 332
"But, he’s actually a warlock, right? Area T's Solver Dave.”
Without any warning, Carl suddenly asked a question..
Everyone around was startled and silent, and the moment the silence reached its peak-
"Sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about.”
Oliver lied more shamelessly than anyone else. To the point where I have no conscience.
But Oliver was sincere..
Currently, he is Zenon, a personal employee of a professor at the Magic Tower..
Even his real name is Oliver.
At this moment, I had absolutely nothing to do with Area T's troubleshooter Dave..
At least that's what he thought..
However, Carl did not know Oliver's feelings and only expressed his displeasure and anger..
"Are you treating me like a fool now??”
"Sorry, but I don't treat you like an idiot. Especially against wizards who use space magic... … . Let me ask you the opposite. How can you say something like that??”
Oliver asked calmly, as if he really felt unfair..
It was a blatant lie, but it was also sincere..
I was really curious as to how you could doubt yourself..
Although I unintentionally showed suspicious signs a few times, I thought I did a good job overall..
Carl looked at Oliver silently and opened his mouth..
"handwriting......."
"yes?"
"It's handwriting. You and Dave have the same handwriting..”
Oliver wondered what he was talking about, but then he understood what he meant..
When I worked as Zeno, an employee at the Magic Tower, I provided a report to the School of Life regarding the Mountain Face..
Also, as Dave, he had provided a report related to the World Tree to the Moirai School..
The Life School and the Moirai School. Although they were two different schools, they were tied into the larger framework of the Magic Tower..
Although the detailed route is unknown, it seems that the report was passed on to the Life School. It's not common, but it's not impossible..
‘Handwriting?…….'
It was definitely persuasive. Minor but decisive evidence.
Although it was unfortunate that he had been caught, Oliver was also happy. He could learn what mistakes he made.
Can't you be more careful next time??
“……And those damn eyes and attitude are also proof..”
Carl said something more to Oliver, who was deep in thought..
He beamed with great anger and displeasure at Oliver. What bothered me was that the outcome was different from the anger I felt when I met a simply arrogant person..
The source of Karl’s feelings now was absurdity..
Anger, discomfort, and jealousy resulting from overwhelming absurdity.
Oliver couldn't understand why he was doing that..
Why does a person whose grandfather is the Grand Master of the School of Life feel absurd and jealous towards himself??
"Eyes and attitude?”
"The moment I looked into your eyes, I was sure it was you... … . Those eyes, as if looking at something that is nothing special. Mattel also had that look..”
Mattel. Magic words that seem old yet new.
Oliver couldn't help but react reflexively..
Because a boy’s face came to mind.
The boy who confessed his sin while holding his hand tightly, unable to do anything, cried.…….
"Ah, there's a reaction..”
Carl said. it was true.
Despite being covered in fog, being attacked, being caught up in a conspiracy by the School of Life, infiltrating the basement, being covered in blood, and fighting for his life with a wizard who used blood magic, Oliver, who was calm, reacted to that one word from Mattel..
The problem was that Oliver didn't know why he was doing this..
What can I say… … . What can I say.......
"......How am I reacting??”
When Oliver couldn't find the answer on his own, he asked the people around him, Carl and Yarely..
The appearance was very foreign and unnatural..
Because it seemed like something other than a person was imitating a person..
Maybe that's why it felt so ominous, uncomfortable, and sad at the same time..
No one around him could give Oliver a positive answer, so he moved on to the next question..
“……What do you mean by attitude? Mr. Carl.”
Oliver once again asked a question that did not fit the situation and atmosphere..
But this time there was a sense of seriousness. Like a scholar doing research.
"That's right, I'm talking about the same attitude now. No matter what is going on around you, you do whatever you want, as if it is insignificant... … . It was the same with that little boy. Be quiet about intruders.”
Karl was humiliated and quietly angry..
However, Oliver didn't care and calmly corrected Carl's words..
"This is Colin.”
“……what?”
"My name was Colin. This is the kid Carl was talking about. My name is Colin.”
Oliver calmly corrected Carl's mistake. Is it polite to call you by name whenever possible?.
"ah… … . that's right. It was Colin. I remember. One of the inferior species brought in from a garbage worker couple for a small sum of money. The experiment was successful and it was good trash, but in the end it was the trash of trash that failed in the middle..”
Carl provoked Oliver, and Oliver searched in his arms, recalling the memories of that time..
After a while, Oliver took out a small medicine cabinet that looked like a ring box..
It was an item received in return for helping Pinkman Jonathan retrieve the crime firm's auction items..
A high-performance potion equivalent to hundreds of potions..
It was a top-of-the-line product that could acquire a vast amount of magical energy contained within with just one ingestion. If taken by someone who was not suited for the medicine, the magical energy would overflow and it could become something more than poison. It was an incredible yet dangerous product..
“……what are those pills?”
Carl, who had been provoking Oliver, stopped talking and asked about Oliver's slightly changed attitude and the unusual drug..
"It's a pill.”
Oliver answered normally and took a pill. Without even a chance to stop you.
gulp.
A pill taken in one bite.
At the same time, Oliver's body was filled with hundreds of potions' worth of high-quality magic power..
As expected from an item made for highly skilled wizards, its performance was good..
If an ordinary wizard had taken it, his magic tank would have exploded and he would have been in a state worse than death, but Oliver stabilized it right away..
No, it was more than that..
It went beyond just stabilizing it and was absorbed into the body so discreetly that even highly skilled wizards like Yareli and Kal could not notice it..
"You can even say what you said..”
After finishing his errand, Oliver encouraged Carl to continue talking..
Originally, Carl and Colin had planned to shake Oliver's composure by provoking him by mentioning other children, but seeing Oliver so calm, he felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding and could not say anything more..
My pride as a wizard told me not to back down, but at the same time, my instincts as a living being warned me not to..
Pride and instinct insisted on each other doing what they said..
“……I have a suggestion.”
"A suggestion?”
"okay. Now, I will get the people you rescued and the Ice Princess out safely, so you follow me. I have something to check with you..”
Karl’s words were sincere. Although he had something to hide, the offer itself was sincere..
Oliver was personally intrigued..
This raid related to the apocalypse and Carl's interest in himself..
It felt like two completely unrelated things were interlocking..
Like a puzzle piece far away.
The problem was that Oliver wasn't smart enough to infer something from this alone..
I could have followed Carl's suggestion to find out, but... … . I didn't want to do that.
"I'm just curious, what happens if I refuse??”
"The condition was that we would get out safely, so we had to strike a balance... … . If you refuse, I'll tear down this basement and turn it into your tomb..”
"Hmm...then, wouldn't we be in trouble??”
"I do not care. It was a bit of a waste, but those guys aren't the main characters..”
The sword pointed to Yareli and the rescued wizards..
It was quite interesting. It's not the main one. Then, there was a separate core reason for this incident..
"hmm… … . Then there is nothing we can do..”
As soon as Oliver answered, he took a pill and released a large amount of magical energy, attempting to take over the entire basement..
Carl, taken aback by the unexpected behavior and the vast amount of magical power, reflexively unleashed magical energy to counter Oliver's actions..
High-density horsepower that can be physically felt. Yareli and the rescued wizards panicked from the pressure pressing down on their bodies, and the walls and ceiling also cracked..
Damn… … ! Damn it!!
A fight for control that goes beyond common sense.
Carl was surprised, as if he hadn't expected this much, and Oliver was just as surprised..
As he is the grandmaster's grandson, I expected him to have outstanding skills, but I never thought he would be at this level..
In terms of horsepower alone, it was more than Kevin burning down a forest by himself..
'However, the ability to control is poor..’
Oliver was evaluating in his mind and slowly taking away control of his magic power..
Cal, realizing that control was being taken away, increased the output of magical power within his body and attempted to crush Oliver with overwhelming force, but it was already too late..
Oliver took most of the magic power that Karl released, and he also took most of the magic power that Karl released late..
obvious difference in skills.
Karl felt a great sense of absurdity..
After the humiliation at Mattel, he underwent numerous procedures to strengthen his body, magical power, and magical control ability, but he was pushed back like this..
this wasn't right.
"Ugh… … !! Do you think you can get out of here safely if you take away control??!!”
The enraged sword screamed hysterically and exploded with magical energy, attempting to blow up the entire place..
Just a part of Oliver's body would be enough..
Oliver, who sensed this intention, completely strengthened his control over the stolen magic power, formed an image in his head, and raised both hands..
Then the basement shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and I felt a sensation rising from below..
Oliver had enveloped the entire basement with his massive magical power and raised it to the ground..
Coogugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu——I
A roaring sound broke through the ground, echoing through my eardrums and throughout my body, and soon the ground covered in fog was revealed..
Everyone around was astonished by the operation of magical power on a scale that was one of the largest in the magic tower..
"Thank you for your help.”
Oliver focused his magic on his legs, narrowed the distance, and greeted Carl..
Then, he raised the handle of the tonpa like an ax blade and swung it towards the side of the sword..
To capture something by inserting it like a hook..
However, the sword did not go to waste and with amazing reflexes, he stepped back and avoided the attack..
It was a speed that exceeded Oliver's expectations..
"My legs… … . How amazing.”
Oliver said, looking at Carl's legs, which looked like a mixture of a horse's and a carnivore's legs..
It was a body transformation similar to the wizard he fought in Mattel..
"This isn't the only thing that's surprising?”
Cal extracted his magic power in one hand and his emotions in the other, and clasped his hands together to mix the two energies into one..
Carl was right. It was a very strange and interesting sight. Enough to make me curious.
"how……."
-[lightning strike]
Instead of answering, Carl shot a lightning bolt filled with anger..
The black lightning flew with direct malice toward Oliver..
***
"Phew… … . after……."
Kevin caught his breath on the land that had been a hill just a few minutes ago..
Across from him stood a younger Theodore..
"This is truly amazing. Subject No. 162.”
