Genius Warlock-Episode 36
36. Danger? (2)
Snap! Snap! Snap! In a snap!
Oliver continued to follow Marie's hand with his eyes closed due to the aftereffects of the flashbang..
Fortunately, my vision returned soon after I covered my eyes with my arm..
When I opened my eyes, all I could see was a stone wall full of moisture, stagnant water, a rat squeakring around, and Marie supporting Oliver..
“······number of animals?”
“Yes, master!”
“How do we get here···?”
“I'm sorry for disobeying your command to run away. If this is your punishment, you will get it after you get out of here safely, so please just skip it for now..”
Oliver examined her emotions and could tell that she was sincere..
Without any pretense, she felt truly guilty for not listening to Oliver's orders..
As a result, Oliver's life was saved..
“···how did you get here?”
“I couldn't run away except for the owner, so I followed him later. I found out the location of this place from the pharmacist and received a sewer map and some supplies..”
Ah, then I understand. I guess the pharmacist provided the flashbang grenade earlier..
Did he foresee this situation??
“Still, I was lucky. When I arrived at the right time, I met the owner... god help”
It was an ironic statement every time I heard it. I'm a warlock, but God helps me... No, is it possible??
Oliver once again recalled the unidentified being he had seen at Joseph's secret altar..
Something shaped like a body woven together.
“old man on horseback···.”
“yes?”
“no···. nothing. Anyway, you did something dangerous..”
“······I will take my punishment as soon as I get out of it..”
“No, thank you. For saving me.”
At those words, Marie's eyes widened and her face turned red. She said it so loudly that her ears turned red..
“I have to go back from here..”
Marie said goodbye and turned into a side road..
“This is···?”
“The Weinham sewer system is complicated by several sprawling developments. If you twist it just a little bit, they won't be able to chase you..”
“······I don't think that's necessarily the case.?”
Oliver said, focusing his attention on the paladin who was following him from various directions..
They seemed to know the geography of the sewer well and were chasing after them with a siege net..
“If you go this way, you'll soon encounter it. Is there any other way??”
Oliver said as he stopped Marie who was well on her way..
Marie quickly took out the map and checked it..
“Uh, then... this way.!”
Oliver followed Marie's instructions..
Fortunately, we were able to avoid one crisis, but that did not mean we were completely out of it..
Just when you thought you had widened the distance, another group of Paladins would narrow the siege and threaten you..
If things continue like this, they'll keep playing tag and eventually get caught..
Something more proactive was needed..
“Marie, do you have any feelings left? I almost used mine.”
“Yes, I brought one..”
Marie took out a test tube..
As soon as Oliver received the test tube, he focused his attention on his eyes. A total of 10 people are currently coming..
They came in five groups, and fortunately, perhaps because of support, the Paladin was at the very back, following his colleagues..
It wasn't a bad idea, but thanks to that, I was actually last in line..
Oliver extracted the emotion and placed it on a rat wandering around, imitating 'Ovidian' that he had seen in the past..
Take a picture! Take a picture-!
Fortunately, the magic did not cost much, but he continued to run away and cast Ovidence indiscriminately on the rats he saw, forming a small group..
Take a picture! Squeak! Snap! Snap! Jjijiji! Take a picture! Take a picture! Squeak――!
“This, this···?”
“A rat. It might take some time..”
With those words, Oliver stopped walking and cast another spell at the group of rats looking at him..
[fighting spirit]
The rats under the spell became courageous enough to attack people, and at Oliver's hand gesture, they divided into five groups and ran towards the pursuing enemies..
As I said before, it would buy some time, even if only for a moment, but that was enough for Oliver..
“number of animals!”
Oliver took Marie and started running like crazy..
I ran so fast that I was out of breath, but I didn't neglect my preparation..
Six Hate Bullets and three Black Javelin shots.
After a while, when I turned the corner, I could see three paladins stomping on a bunch of rats in panic. Oliver fired six Hate Bullets..
“shit!”
They deployed their coat shields to defend themselves..
As expected, the hate bullets were blocked in vain, but Oliver didn't care and threw one shot at each Black Javelin..
Black Javelin, which has a piercing effect, pierced the enemy's shield and caused damage, while Oliver ran past them with Marie..
Everything flows like water. Marie said with respect.
“Wow, you're amazing.!”
“No, they must have noticed and are coming this way. Can I get out through this passage??”
“Yes, master! There is a way out to the ground, it's safe if you hide there..”
“thank god. then···.”
Oliver began creating several minions by extracting emotions in the hope of slowing down his enemies' pursuit..
They each gave Hate Bullet, Rath Boom, and Creepy Scream and scattered them on the floor like land mines..
“Maybe it will buy me some time..”
“iced coffee···.”
Marie shouted with joy..
“Now, if you turn around here, you can go outside... uh?”
After running for a while and turning the last corner, Marie's eyes became as big as coins..
This was because the passageway leading to the outside was blocked by a solid iron door..
“This, this······.”
Marie made a dumbfounded look when she saw the huge, non-standard iron door..
Oliver knocked on the iron door just in case, and it sounded like a very thick door..
“hmm······.”
I was embarrassed.
I couldn't break this ignorant piece of metal with the emotions I currently had, and even if I could extract Marie's emotions, it was dangerous to use black magic of that level of power in a closed space like this. It was obvious that we would be swept away together.
In short, I was like a rat trapped in a poison..
As if to announce this, a small explosion was heard along with a terrible scream that broke a person's will..
Kyaayayayayayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa―――――――!!!!!
bang――!
Kwakwang―――!
bang―――!
The minions that Oliver sprayed worked..
It seems like they caused quite a bit of damage to the Paladins, but even so, they didn't stop chasing..
“Lord, master!”
“yes?”
“Well, please pick out my feelings and write them down. Shouldn't we fight??”
Oliver looked at Marie. She was sincere and determined..
However, the paladin who turned all black magic into nothingness came to Oliver's mind..
She neutralized all of Oliver's black magic in an instant with her brilliant light.···.
“hmm···. No, it won't help anyway. Being a paladin just nullifies black magic. Even if you try to extract Marie's emotions, it's just a waste..”
“But you can't just sit there like this, right??!”
That was correct. However, the reality is that there is no way in sight..
Paladin... It was strong, but it had the worst compatibility with the warlock..
It was truly strange. I was about to die, but I felt sad rather than scared..
There were still so many things I wanted to know... Then, an important fact occurred to me..
“number of animals···.”
“yes?! any way···.”
“Do you have a lighter or matches??”
“yes?”
“Lighter or matches.”
“···Ah, yes. But why is that?”
Oliver took out the pilgerette he had kept in his arms..
It is a pilgaret made from the brilliant light that Joseph saw before his death..
“Could you please lend me a lighter??”
Marie looked dumbfounded when she saw Oliver trying to smoke Pilgerette in this urgent situation, but she eventually nodded as if she had made up her mind..
“Well... if it's okay, I'd like to attach it to you..”
“Ah, well... Please.”
When Oliver answered and put the Pilgerette in his mouth, Marie suppressed her trembling hands and politely lit the Pilgerette..
My first taste of pilgeret.
As he took a deep breath, Joseph's emotions entered Oliver's body along with the cigarette smoke..
This is something·········.
“······.”
A deep silence arrived, but Marie noticed and cautiously opened her mouth..
“Even though it ends here... It was truly an honor to meet the owner... Thank you so much.”
“······.”
Oliver was silent without answering..
As if thinking deeply about something.
After a while, the footsteps got louder and louder, and a group of people appeared..
Her companions, including the paladin Joanna.
Everyone must have had a hard time with the minions that Oliver had thrown at them, and the situation was incredible, and even a few people seemed to have been hit, and the number had decreased..
Maybe that's why, except for Joanna, everyone was extremely angry..
“Gotcha, you rat... Knowing this would happen, I blocked a few drain holes in advance..”
“Foolish guys... Do you think we've dealt with guys like you once or twice??!”
For that matter, it wasn't in very good condition, but no one pointed out that fact..
In any case, it was true that we were in crisis..
Marie stood in front of Oliver and took out a crude gun..
Guns are meaningless for those who wipe out gangsters and warlocks..
“Phew... Phew... Whoop···.”
Marie was breathing heavily because she was nervous..
As if he didn't want to see that, one of the Holy Knights quickly raised a cross-shaped gun and pulled the trigger..
bang――――――――!
Gunshots echoing from the sewer, blood flying, people falling..
Marie fell to the floor covered in filth..
No, it had to be that way. But surprisingly it didn't.
An unknown tentacle came out from the bottom of the sewer and protected Marie..
“·········uh?”
Marie and the Holy Knight all made noises when they saw the unidentified tentacle..
Shadow type black magic...? It didn't seem like it was. It was similar but different. Upon closer inspection, it was not just a shadow, but something a little blacker and darker..
Like, an abyss like the night sea.
“······!!!!”
Everyone felt strange and took a step back from the unknown being..
Ah, correction. Not everyone. Oliver stood still..
“······Ahhh. this···. What is this?”
muttered Oliver..
His expressionless face trembled strangely, but he continued to say something incomprehensible..
“Wow, originally... Is it like this? Pilgaret?! I can feel it. I feel it...! The sadness, the anger, the hope... the longing he felt! pleasure!! regret!!! Everything...! I feel it all!!!”
Oliver's drugged eyes widened and he looked at the group of paladins..
It was a shameful story for them, but they all felt fear for a moment at the sight of Oliver's crazy appearance..
Even the paladin Joanna.
Everyone, including her, instinctively noticed that Oliver was different from other warlocks..
Although it was impossible to explain in words, everyone thought that this ominous being should be killed as soon as possible, but no one took action..
Just as behavior stops when you see an unidentified being..
While the heavy and fearful silence continued, a person holding a cross-shaped gun shouted and raised the gun..
“Aaaah-! die! You devil!”
[Hell Thurman]
Oliver quickly extracted his emotions and scattered them on the bottom of the sewer..
The black emotions seemed to multiply and covered the entire sewer, covering not only the sewer but also the paladin and his party..
It's as different as if you were applying paint. Moreover, the speed was so fast that there was no time to pull the muzzle or resist..
Just being eaten by the darkness.
[Divine Protection]
Only the paladin Joanna resisted by activating the holy law..
The sacred shield used when fighting the Dominic Family..
It was a powerful technique that protected not only oneself but also allies, but for some reason it was meaningless in front of Oliver..
It shined for a moment to save those who were devoured by the darkness, but that was all..
Soon the light lost its power and became helpless..
Only to be swallowed up by darkness again.
Joanna, who watched the scene, shouted again..
[Purify]
[imprison]
Just as the sacred flame that burned everything was about to burn away the darkness, darkness enveloped the explosion in response to Oliver's light gesture..
Then he swallowed Joanna, and all that remained was her mouth and one eye..
“······.”
Oliver approached her. And he looked at her in silence. Waiting to see what you would say.
Joanna's emotions, swallowed by the darkness, were tinged with fear for a moment, but she eventually opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind..
“······Oh, my Holy Father. Thank you for sending your children to this earth and giving them a duty. Even though I cannot fulfill the glorious mission that my father gave me, I believe in my father and ask for his mercy. So, I hope that you will take pity on these children and hold them in your arms, and I earnestly hope that you will also look after the children who will be left behind. Kill it. I won't beg for my life.”
Joanna spoke confidently, glaring at Oliver with her only remaining eye..
I saw a beautiful light in her that was different from what I saw in Joseph, the lightning wizard..
Oliver stretched out his hand towards her. and he said.
[deep sleep]
