Genius Warlock-Episode 336
A large laboratory of the life school located in Lake Village..
In one space there, the air distorted as if light was refracting, and eventually the space was torn apart and a portal was formed..
A man came out through the torn portal. It was Theodore Brandt, the grand master of the Life School..
Appearing only half his original age, he became ten years younger to enhance his strength during combat, but the reaction occurred as soon as he emerged from the portal and his feet touched the floor..
"Pfft......"!
Theodore stumbled with dizziness, feeling his entire body drained of energy..
It was natural.
I used to barely maintain my youthful appearance, but I became even younger by overexerting myself. And even an intense battle... … . What was even more strange was that there was no reaction..
‘Test Subject 162 was stronger than I thought. The burden was even greater after dealing with Philip and Tilda... … . Damn the hands.’
Theodore thought as he looked at his hands..
The hands, which had been plump just moments before, quickly became wrinkled and wrinkled, like those of an old man. It was truly a scary change..
“Master. Are you okay??!”
Finn Rousseau, Theodore's test subject and student, said as he supported me from the side..
He looked at Theodore's condition and immediately took out the medicine..
A vitality concentrate, a special mixed potion, and a high-calorie pill that will replenish the enormous energy required to maintain youth. Theodore swallowed them in one go, recovering the energy consumed during the battle and returning his body to youth..
‘It's getting less and less efficient..’
Theodore, who had regained his strength and regained his youthful appearance, looked at his hands and thought confusedly..
Thanks to his and the efforts of the Life School, he developed the technology to restore and maintain youth, but the technology was as precarious as a building built on top of a sand castle..
The procedure itself is difficult and expensive, but the probability of success is low, and youth is not preserved forever and requires continuous management..
Additionally, as we age, the benefit relative to the effort put in gradually decreases..
As if aging and death are inevitable no matter what you do..
When Theodore realized this fact, which he always felt, he once again felt the fear of the invisible hand of death strangling his neck..
After all, I was afraid of death. More than anything else.
This absolute fear running up my spine is the proof..
However, Theodore assured himself that it was okay..
I have found a way to escape that absolute and inescapable curse. This was a God-given opportunity, proof that he was chosen..
‘Cancer, not like that… … . Anyway.’
"Master… … . Are you okay??”
Finn Rousseau asked worriedly, seeing Theodore's unusual reaction..
“I'm okay… … . I confirmed it more than that?”
“yes."
A third voice intervened. It was a very familiar voice..
After all, it was the voice of his only blood relative, his grandson..
“knife……."
“Grandfather.”
Karl bowed his head respectfully. A contrast to his usual arrogant self-confidence..
But if you dig a little deeper, it was also natural..
Carl's arrogant confidence was due to none other than his grandfather's teachings. To Theodore, his only family.
“Yeah, Carl… … . Was this guy a guy??”
bloke. It was an abstract title, but Carl understood it right away and answered. The reason this happened in the first place was because of that guy..
“yes. Grandfather. Kevin's personal employee Zenon is actually Dave, the fixer we were trying to catch. I checked.”
Theodore pursed his lips and nodded emphatically. It means satisfied. Then a question arose.
“But why didn't you secure it??”
Carl hesitated at Theodore's question, appearing intimidated and inappropriate for his age..
Carl wasn't without effort either..
They try to take advantage of their target, Dave's soft personality, and bring him in by making him an offer in a favorable location. I tried my best.
However, the guy spewed out ridiculous magical power and performed a ridiculous performance that even took control of the sword's magical power and raised the entire basement to the ground. Because of that, the plan went awry..
Even though I fired a lightning bolt to suppress him by force, he easily blocked it and narrowed the distance..
“You blocked it? That too lightly?”
“yes… … . sorry.”
Karl apologized without raising his head. For disappointing his grandfather..
“……no. Okay. Your fusion is not yet complete. It is inevitable that the precision of technology will decline..”
Theodore tried to pretend he was okay. She couldn't help but be demoralized before an important day..
“It's my fault. Master. It's not your fault, master..”
Just as the atmosphere was about to become heavy, Finn Russo, who was standing next to him like a folding screen, opened his mouth..
“You kept trying to fight him, but I brought you here on my own. So, it's my fault.”
This was also true.
When the sword fired a lightning bolt, Oliver threw away his tonfa and took out his quarter staff, lightly striking the black lightning and closing the distance..
Because the momentum was unusual, Russo, who had been watching the situation, made an arbitrary decision to intervene, opened a portal, and retreated, taking Carl with him..
“What exactly do you mean by the fact that the momentum was unusual??”
“that is… … . I think I was a bit emotional. Like at Mattel. According to the investigation, it was said that he was strangely calm, but that was not the case. So, I decided that it would be better to avoid the situation rather than engage in unnecessary conflict, so I retreated, taking the master with me. sorry. Master.”
Rousseau tried to take responsibility for everything himself. Because he wanted to protect the sword so much.
Theodore nodded..
“good job. There is no need to create variables. That's why I didn't kill test subject 162. The important thing is that his identity has become clear... … . We move according to plan. Carl, are you ready??”
“already… … . Are you starting??”
Carl asked cautiously. Because I was afraid.
“Of course, we have secured enough materials and the situation has been revealed, so there is no reason to continue taking time. To be honest, I can't continue to trust warlocks. So, you need to move as quickly as possible while you can. Is there a problem??”
Karl pursed his lips and shook his head..
It wasn't logically wrong, and he, who grew up under the thumb of his grandfather his whole life, had no choice in the first place..
Karl nodded half-heartedly, and Theodore took his grandson to a place as if he had been waiting..
Along the way, he encountered faithful wizards from the School of Life who would protect him..
Stop.
Theodore, Karl, and Rousseau stopped in front of a door..
Through the huge iron door, a gloomy aura creeped out as to what was inside..
gulp.
Perhaps it was because of the gloomy energy or because of the upcoming surgery, but Carl became nervous and swallowed his saliva without realizing it..
Actually, Theodore opened the door without hesitation, but.
I profit.
When the thick iron door opened, a huge space was revealed..
In that space, numerous wizards, probably over a hundred, were trapped and tied along the wall..
Like a butcher pig.
No one was able to resist because their physical freedom was taken away using blood magic. It was truly spectacular..
When will we again see wizards strung up like pigs?.
However, these were not the main focus of this event..
The real main thing was a few drops of blood floating in a giant test tube in the middle of space..
Theodore walked slowly, touched the huge test tube containing blood, and spoke to Karl with eyes filled with longing and greed..
“Use the ingredients here to fully embrace this blood. And become a complete being. for us.”

“So, the Life School did this to secure materials for some kind of work? Preparing for some kind of apocalypse?”
“That's my opinion.”
Oliver answered, explaining what happened inside the basement with Yareli..
“hmm… … . What do you think is going on??”
“Sorry, I'm not sure about that..”
Oliver answered Philip's question again..
It seemed clear that the invited guests had been kidnapped for some purpose, but Oliver had no way of knowing what it was..
It might have been possible to find out from the original master of the Little School of Blood Magic, but it failed due to Karl's intervention..
'knife.......'
“What is eschatology??”
Terence, who was standing next to him, intervened and asked a question. Oliver answered.
“I don't know the details either. While I was working as a problem solver, I heard it a few times, and the life school said something mysterious about the opening of heaven and earth, so I just asked just in case..”
“We heard similar stories.”
said Philip, stroking his abundant beard..
“Theodore called me and Mrs. Tilda and told us to stay with him because the world was about to change. They say that only the chosen ones can survive in the midst of chaos, and that they are given youth and eternal life..”
“Let alone youth, eternal life... … . Even if you are Theodore, do you have the skills to do that??”
"I also agree. Lt. Col. Kevin. However, it is not something to be taken lightly. Theodore is not the type of person to brag about something like that..”
Kevin couldn't refute. Regardless of his personality and personal feelings, it was an undeniable fact that he was an outstanding wizard and a wizard who was proud of his abilities..
I may be exaggerating a bit, but I am not the type of person to say something is not there..
“I guess it has something to do with that.……."
Philip guessed. By feeling rather than reasoning through any logical structure..
However, sometimes this feeling was much more accurate. As evidence, no one objected to Philip's guess..
Eternal life was the ultimate result pursued by the Life School..
However, there were also some things that were not clear..
“It may be related, but it's not just about eternal life..”
Kevin confidently expressed his opinion..
“what is the reason?”
"Eternal life is indeed a great outcome, but even so, it makes no sense to do something like this. What the Life School has done now is only possible if you are prepared to destroy or devour the magic tower..”
That was correct. In fact, he was trying to placate Philip and Tilda for that purpose..
“Ultimately, what is needed most for that is strength. If you don't have power, neither negotiations nor tactics can work..”
“So what you're saying is that Theodore is preparing to strengthen his power.?”
“yes. Sure, it might be eternal life, but there might also be power involved... … . At least to the point where I think I can try it with Master.."
Speaking of Kevin's teacher, he said none other than Archive Merlin..
A being that has inherited knowledge from over a thousand years of archives. Although it varies depending on the era, he is usually the most accomplished wizard..
The power to fight against such a wizard... … . If that's the case, I can understand why he did such a crazy thing..
It's just a guess though.......
Tilda, who had been calmly listening to the story and gathering information, opened her mouth..
Even though the voice was not loud, it attracted people's attention because of its unique cool feeling..
"All of these are good guesses, but there's something we need to decide first..”
Everyone looked at her. As her attention was drawn, Tilda opened her mouth next..
“Here you have to decide whether to fight Theodore or retreat..”
It was indeed true..
It was certainly important to understand the other person's situation and intentions, but what was more important was the action that could be taken on our side..
“As you can all see, the situation is not good. Fog surrounds this place, making it difficult to even see the damage, let alone the situation, and the force here is small and most of them are in bad condition..”
no one denied it.
Philip lost one of his arms, and Kevin and Terence each needed rest and recuperation due to excessive use of their magical power. Injuries resulting from battle were separate. The only ones who were okay were Yareli, Tilda, and the rescued wizards, but they were also exhausted and not okay..
With all this power, we will fight against the Life School wizards and Theodore who participated in this incident.?
According to common sense, the odds of winning were low..
However, Philip expressed a different opinion..
“So we have to fight now.”
“Now?”
“exactly. Mrs. Tilda. What they want is to secure materials and perform something, whether it be a spell, ritual, or procedure... … . I don't know what it is, but I can't deny that it's quite threatening. Theodore took this risk and did it. We too must interfere now, even at our own risk..”
In its own way, it made sense. The reason I did this was because I had a lot of confidence. Then I shouldn't have let that happen..
Truly a soldier-like opinion.
However, Tilda calmly discussed the possibility of success and the damage, and expressed the opinion that it would be better to inform the magic tower and prepare to block Theodore..
Philip also did not lag behind and refuted this. A person as meticulous as Theodore could attack them while they are running away, or he could deceive the magic tower by using other magicians who may have been tricked..
This too was a very possible story..
While the Honorary Grand Master and the Original Master were sharing their thoughts in detail and the others were also adding their opinions on what they thought was right, Kevin suddenly spoke up..
in a completely unexpected form.
“……xenon.”
“Yes, professor.”
People reflexively fell silent and looked at the two people..
“What is your opinion? You are the one who can use this barrier.?”
“I just follow your opinion.”
“Also, I guess it’s a good thing??”
Yareli intervened and asked. I was a little angry at the sour response as in the basement..
Oliver answered, reading Yareli's emotions..
“ah… … . I don't mean that. It's just that I'm an employee and I don't think it's my place to express my opinion in front of you... … . Plus, it's a warlock..”
“At the same time, he is the one responsible for helping Yareli save other wizards and using the fog to move... … . I really have no opinion?”
Kevin asked seriously..
Oliver saw the emotion and responded seriously..
“hmm… … . Personally, I would like to fight against the Life School..”
“what is the reason?”
“There's someone I want to hit..”
Oliver said with sincerity. Thinking of a knife.
