Genius Warlock-Episode 378
378. Showdown at Weinham (1)
“After all, you're not talking to a cult..”
Bonifa said, spreading her wings wide. And a strong light radiated from its wings..
A light so dazzling that it's blinding..
Oliver reflexively covered his eyes, and in the meantime, Bonifa flew quickly and snatched Oliver like an eagle. He had no time to escape..
“I dare teach you the price of mentioning God with your profane tongue.!”
With those words, he let go, and Oliver flew straight into the temple wall..
Kwakwang!!
When Oliver collided, he was unable to overcome the impact and the temple wall collapsed. Perhaps, if it weren't for the natural power within his body, Oliver's body would have shattered instead of the wall..
‘Still, I'm glad. If I had just cut it with a knife instead of throwing it, I would have been pinned down..’
Oliver thought as he stood up on the collapsed temple wall..
When I hit the wall, the impact was so big that it was a bit difficult to move, but I still tried to look at the good side..
Whether it was to vent his anger or because he wanted the best picture that Galahaut had mentioned, he did not finish quickly..
Then Oliver also had a chance..
‘Since the fire and the violent wind were neutralized at once, even the power of nature must have its limits... Is that the only way??’
While Oliver was wondering how to deal with Bonifa, Marie approached him leading her men..
“master······! Are you okay??!”
Oliver raised his hand and stopped everyone in the temple, including Marie..
It's just that the Paladins' attention is currently focused on her, but Marie is not completely out of the spotlight..
I didn't know if I did anything that would stand out, I might become a target again..
If that were to happen, there was currently no way for Oliver to stop it..
‘As expected, the holy law is amazing... You have already recovered.’
Oliver thought as he looked at the fully recovered paladins and servants..
Although they had clearly suffered from tampering, they all recovered thanks to Bonifa's healing methods. Not only the wounds but also the energy.
I was planning on using space magic to steal Mari's group away, but it didn't seem like it would be easy..
As soon as it was used, it would be neutralized by sacred law, and after that, nothing could be guaranteed..
‘Only if we win can we all get out safely.······.’
After gathering his thoughts, Oliver looked around and found Marie..
“number of animals.”
“Yes, master.”
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“Please speak. We'll do whatever you need. If you have to go out and fight right away, we will fight, and if you need our feelings, we will be willing.-”
“-Unless you think you might get hurt, please do not leave this temple until I tell you to..”
“yes?”
“I told you not to come out of the temple unless you are in danger of getting hurt. Don't do anything, Marie, please take care of the people here..”
Oliver pointed to the people inside the temple. They all looked haggard from being chased by the Holy Knights, but despite that, they were the ones who stayed by Marie's side until the end..
“I think that way I will feel at ease... Can I trust you and ask you a favor??”
“but-”
“-Please. number of animals.”
When Oliver asked again, Marie swallowed what she wanted to say and nodded..
Sincerity.
After hearing the answer, Oliver felt relieved and went out..
With this, we were able to prevent Marie's unexpected actions..
“Thank you for waiting. Sir.”
Oliver came out of the temple and said hello to Bonifa floating in the sky..
He looked down at Oliver with subtle anger, displeasure, and contempt in his eyes..
“I thought you would do something, but you didn't..”
“I'm sorry to disappoint you..”
Bonifa flinched at Oliver's penetrating words..
That's because he wasn't just angry when he threw Oliver into the temple. There was an ulterior motive before that..
For example, I hoped that Oliver would lead the people inside the temple and attack them as a group, or use them as materials to attack them..
Even Oliver could guess the reason..
Because that would be nice to see..
I was confused by Bonifa's sudden appearance, but that didn't mean I forgot what Galahaut and the servants said..
The Holy Knights came here not simply to subdue the chosen people..
I had come to create the appearance of Bonifa subjugating the chosen people..
It was a difficult area for Oliver to understand, but he decided to take a chance on that guess..
“Could you please wait for me to prepare??”
Bonifa was dumbfounded..
“Are you speaking in your right mind??”
“yes. After seeing Tamhwa and Gyeongpung collapsing earlier, I don't think I can deal with the knight using normal methods..”
Oliver said with sincerity..
Among the attacks that Oliver can use, Tamhwa and Gale are quite powerful skills. If so, it means that most attacks will not work against Bonifa, who collapsed it head on..
So Oliver shamelessly asked. Considering Bonifa's situation and feelings..
While he was proud and confident, he looked down on Oliver and needed something more dramatic..
It was worth it.
“Even if the knight wins like this, it's a little... Wouldn't it be vain??”
As expected, Bonifa appeared calm on the outside, but her emotions flinched..
If he had destroyed the pillar of fire earlier, healed his colleagues, and then immediately attacked and killed Oliver, it would have been a nice enough picture, but the conversation we had earlier left a blemish on the picture..
It's a flaw that goes beyond what can be covered up by video editing..
That's why Bonifa needed a new picture..
He looks like a hero who proudly defeats a powerful and vile evil all by himself..
“Let's give it a try.”
Bonifa made his decision..
Sincerity.
That's how confident I am.
Oliver was willing to take the opportunity he was given and was ready to struggle..
Oliver took off his coat and wondered how he would fight..
There were two ways.
The first was Pilgeret, which was the most reliable means currently available to Oliver..
However, I was hesitant to use it..
First of all, pilgerettes were a very precious item, so I felt like it was a waste, and there were also things that bothered me..
‘What on earth was that dream??’
Oliver remembered the Pilgerette he had smoked during Merlin's test..
When I smoked pilgaret, I lost consciousness and had a blurry dream..
All I remember is being in an alien, black space, having a conversation with someone sitting on the sofa across from me across the table... No, there was one more.
In my dream, we talked and ate warm milk and cookies. It was a chocolate cookie, and even though it was a dream, it was very, very delicious..
‘What was it really? ······Anyway, pilgerets should be used more carefully. Since I only have two cigarettes, it's my last resort, and I may lose consciousness. It's dangerous if you lose consciousness now..’
Oliver thought, conscious of the Paladin in front and Marie in the back..
The paladin should not have been killed, but Marie and her group should have been taken care of..
In the end, considering the comprehensive conditions, it is judged that it is still too early to launch Pilgeret..
Oliver decided to use the second method instead of Pilgeret..
It was none other than an artificial soul..
After making a decision, Oliver used emotional particles to simultaneously open the lids of the test tubes filled with the inside of his outerwear and extract all the contents inside..
Since most of the natural power was already used up, all that was left was emotions and vitality magic, and Oliver used the emotions with the largest amount first..
[Black Suit)]
Oliver processed his emotions into thin threads, woven them into fabric, and wrapped them in layers around his body..
It was a thankful black magic that kept Oliver from getting hurt in numerous battles. Normally, this would have been enough, but Oliver added one more thing to it..
[Black Armor)]
It was a black magic developed by Oliver for Joe, who was inexperienced in black magic, and the emotions processed into the form of rebar were overlaid on the black suit to form gloves..
As thick as possible according to the muscle structure.
Borrowing from the black armor and black suit used by Joe in the past, Oliver poured a huge amount of emotion into wearing armor thick enough to resemble military exoskeleton armor..
It boasts high strength and defense, but loses mobility accordingly. In the past, Oliver advised Joe on this..
‘I wish I could compress my gloves..’
Oliver remembered the advice he had given at that time and zipped up the black suit and gloves he wore..
Clutter. Cluelessly.
I screamed as the emotional particles were compressed to the point where they could not be compressed..
An act that can only be done if one has control that goes beyond common sense..
Thanks to this, Oliver was able to secure mobility and achieve higher efficiency by making his armor thicker than usual..
“Is that the end??”
Bonifa asked, looking down at Oliver. As if it's not the same.
I fully understand. For someone who has destroyed fire and wind from the front, this level of armor would not be a big deal..
Probably, with just one Holy Act, it could be eliminated like melting snow..
Oliver answered.
“no. one more left.”
With those words, Oliver mixed his remaining emotions, vitality, and magic together and created an artificial soul slightly larger than his fist..
Grinding!!
Perhaps because he made it a little larger than the size that could normally be made, there was a considerable backlash, but since it was a situational situation, Oliver ignored it and completed the artificial soul and gave it to his black suit..
As the artificial soul was granted, the black magic armor wrapped around the body fluctuated and became stronger..
Oliver kicked the ground and rushed at Bonifa..
***
Oliver's prediction was correct..
Emotions, vitality, and magical power were all powerless in front of the holy law, but as the power was added one by one to increase the level, resistance was possible to some extent, and the artificial soul that combined all three did not suffer any damage from the holy law..
The proof is that Bonifa's holy law did not destroy or weaken Oliver's black suit..
Oliver, seeing the possibility of victory in this fact, clung to Bonifa and attempted close combat..
When he attacked with a black suit imbued with an artificial soul, each blow created a shock wave that tore through the air and shook the heavens and earth. The paladins and servants, including Galahaut, were astonished at the overwhelming sight..
But Oliver was just as shocked..
Even though he used an artificial soul to resist the Holy Law and wore a black suit that overpowered even Theodore, he was unable to subdue Bonifa..
No, it wasn't the overpowering that was the problem; it was doubtful whether he could even endure it..
“Did you think it was worth it if you could overcome the power of the holy law??!”
Bonifa swung a long sword engulfed in golden flames..
Although he was wearing the most powerful black suit he had ever worn, Oliver was able to avoid attacks more sensitively than usual..
This is because Oliver's strongest armor was so easily pierced by Bonifa's attack..
“Ugh.”
Just when I thought Oliver had dodged it, a strong pain arose and a wound appeared on my body..
The reason was simple.
The golden sword wielded by Bonifa was strong enough to pierce Oliver's armor in one go, and his swordsmanship was so magical that even if he thought he had dodged it, he was unable to dodge it..
That wasn't the only disadvantage..
Bonifa, equipped with wings of light created by holy magic, flew freely in the sky and had an advantage over Oliver in all aspects of location and mobility..
On the other hand, Oliver was at a disadvantage..
I felt like a rat fighting an eagle..
“Did you really think you would beat us Paterism??”
Oliver, who confronted Bonifa atop the spire, answered after much thought..
“to be honest······. I expected a little bit.”
