Genius Warlock-Episode 379

379. Showdown at Weinham (2)

“You expect us to defeat the Paterism... You're arrogant.!”

After hearing the answer, Bonifa circled in the sky and immediately rushed towards Oliver on the spire..

The speed was so fast that as soon as Oliver saw the sign of a rush, he jumped and ran towards the abandoned building opposite..

Kak━!!

As soon as Oliver ran to the building opposite, a sharp yet dull sound rang out..

When I turned my head to check, I was able to see that the spire had been split horizontally..

Although it wasn't a very strong place, it was surprising that a long sword could cut it like that..

“It didn't go as expected, what are you going to do now??”

“well·····. Shouldn’t we struggle somehow??”

“What do you think will change if you struggle??”

“I don't know if it will change or not, but I think it will have meaning..”

Oliver said softly but firmly..

As Bonifa said, the struggle itself may not have had much of an impact on the outcome. What does it matter??

Struggling has meaning in itself..

Joseph, Duncan, Sheamus, Theodore, etc. The passion of burning one's life for one's own value and purpose was noble in itself..

Given Bonifa's emotional state, he seemed to disagree..

He flapped his wings and shot a feather arrow made of light at Oliver..

The feather arrows flying in densely with a single flap of the wings exerted tremendous pressure like a barrage of machine guns, but Oliver calmly watched the incoming attack and held on tightly to the quarter staff with both hands..

I believe in my own black magic..

grasp━━━!!!

When I swung with all my might with a quarter staff wearing a black suit, the air distorted according to the trajectory and a strong gale arose..

It's hard for a person to even stand.

Of course, the feather arrows made using the sacred method were no exception, losing their momentum due to strong winds and flying away..

Not by black magic or anything, but by powerful physical force..

‘The knight's holy magic is strong, but my black magic is not weak either..’

Oliver acknowledged the opponent in front of him, but also believed in his own dark magic, and glimpsed the possibility of victory..

Well done!

But, ignoring that thought, Bonifa swung his long sword and easily cut Oliver's wind in two, then rushed through the gap..

pot!!

As soon as he read Bonifa's intention to attack, Oliver jumped up without hesitation..

Thanks to this, I was able to avoid Bonifa, who approached and attacked in an instant..

This speed without using any special magic is quite threatening. However, the freedom of movement was more threatening than the speed itself..

Normally, when the speed is high, the change of direction is slow, so it is possible to somehow aim for an opening, but Bonifa's wings, made of light, have incredible turning ability, so it changes direction in an instant..

Thanks to this, Oliver, who jumped into the air, was put in a position where he had no choice but to be defeated..

Unlike Bonifa, Oliver could not move freely in the air..

Oliver was not unaware of this either, but he jumped into the air nonetheless. Because he had his own thoughts.

[Targeting)]

Oliver used part of the black suit he wore as material to cast black magic..

Part of the black suit turned into black smoke and stuck to Bonifa, forming a dartboard, and Bonifa, like a paladin, tried to use holy magic to neutralize the targeting..

[Holy Light)]

Soft light emanating from Bonifa's body.

But the black dartboard stuck to Bonifa's body did not disappear..

This is because it was made using a black suit reinforced with an artificial soul. A black suit that resists sexual laws..

Wow······!

Oliver, who was in the air, tightened his targeting force with one hand and pulled Bonifa towards him..

Bonifa instinctively resists sudden force..

In fact, his strength was considerable and he was not easily dragged around, but it didn't matter. It would have been nice if Oliver himself had been taken away..

Oliver flew towards Bonifa using the dartboard previously attached to his body..

Bonifa, embarrassed by Oliver's artificial movements and the black magic that resisted the Holy Law, reacted half a beat slowly, and Oliver did not miss the opportunity and struck with all his might with a quarter staff wearing a black suit..

bang━━━━!!!

When Oliver swung the quarter staff, a huge roar and shock wave erupted, tearing the surrounding air and causing cracks in the building's windows and exterior walls..

It was a natural result. Of all the black suits Oliver has used so far, this one has the best performance..

“But it's not easy.”

Oliver said as he looked at Bonifa who blocked his surprise attack..

He was embarrassed by the unexpected situation, but reacted in the nick of time. Exuding intense light, he blocked Oliver's blow with his long sword..

Not only that, it emits a more intense light from its body, moves the center of gravity of the sword, releases the quarter staff, and swings the sword horizontally to counterattack..

Pak━!!

Just before Bonifa's blade, engulfed in golden flames, cut into Oliver's body, Oliver increased the repulsive force of his targeting and pushed Bonifa away..

In reality, the one who was pushed out was Oliver, who lacked strength..

‘How can one have this kind of power? Is he really the son of an angel??’

A question appeared in one part of Oliver's head, but he quickly pushed it away and focused again on the situation in front of him. A significant portion of the black suit wrapped around his body was wrapped around a quarter staff and compressed into a sharp spear-like shape..

Clutter. A horrifying sound rang out and the quarter staff turned blacker than the night sky..

In that state, Oliver aimed the quarter staff at Bonifa and immediately closed the distance by reducing the repulsive force of targeting and increasing the attractive force..

To stab me like this.

Caen━!!

Just as he was about to pierce Bonifa's body using the force of targeting, Bonifa, who had no intention of being hit twice by the same move, moved half a beat faster..

He wrapped the light emanating from his body around his sword and swung it from bottom to top, striking off Oliver's quarter staff..

Quarterstaff flying high in the sky.

Oliver was left empty-handed, but as if he had expected it to some extent, he immediately took the next action..

There was a big difference in the level of close combat anyway, so I had no intention of fighting regularly..

Oliver swung the black armor on his body like a whip, wrapped it around Bonifa's neck, and pulled it to close the distance..

However, Bonifa didn't even blink and struck down his long sword again, trying to cut off one of Oliver's shoulders..

Oliver used dark magic..

[Ecdysis)]

While Bonifa's blade was cutting through the black suit, Oliver took off part of the black suit as if he was taking off his skin and narrowly avoided the attack..

Weakened gloves. Bonifa did not miss the opportunity and tried to swing his sword again, and Oliver activated black magic again in response..

[Imprison)]

As Oliver chanted, the black suit he had taken off turned into sticky tar and stuck to Bonifa..

Bonifa was surprised by the unexpected attack, but as if he had already become accustomed to it, he responded using holy techniques..

[Purify)]

At Bonifa's cry, yellow flames exploded around his body, burning the targeting and imprisoning that even Holy Light had endured..

But that wasn't the end.

As if to show off his endless power, Bonifa increased the range of Purify and swept away Oliver as well..

Part of the black suit was burned by the yellow flame and part of it was destroyed..

The good news was that the black suit wrapped around Oliver's body allowed continuous and detailed control, reducing damage through more active defense..

Even so, the pain caused by the wear and tear of the black suit and the indirect heat could not be prevented..

“That's it.”

Bonifa flew towards Oliver, who was falling due to the shock caused by Purify, aiming his long sword..

Quite a crisis situation.

Oliver calmly opened his mouth..

[Lightning spear)]

As soon as Bonifa heard Oliver's chant, she felt an unusual energy and turned around..

At that moment he could see.

The quarter staff that flew into the sky fell from the sky with an enormous amount of electricity..

Like the spear of an ancient Thunder God, it fell towards us with a huge charge of electricity in it..

With the force far exceeding what he could handle, Bonifa quickly turned to avoid it, but unfortunately, Oliver was faster this time..

“Please hit me down.”

At Oliver's request, the quarter staff flashed with will and fell on Bonifa's head in one fell swoop, sending him crashing to the floor..

The quarter staff that hit the ground and pressed down on Bonifa is a nonsensical expression, but it illuminated all directions with black light and created an intense electric pillar..

━━━━━━━━━━!!!!!!

The electric shock that spread indiscriminately around the surrounding area along with an indescribable sound burned the floor dark red, collapsed nearby abandoned buildings, and burned them to ashes..

A sight that will make you go blind just by looking at it.

However, Oliver could see it..

Bonifa, who protects herself with wings made of light and constantly flowing holy power..

“Amazing.”

Oliver was as surprised as his words. Because I couldn’t understand it at all.

Bonifa clearly did not react properly to Oliver's attack, but the wings moved on their own to protect Bonifa..

As if the sacred law itself had its own will..

The questions didn't end there.

The holy power, which had been showing its limits just a moment ago, surged again and continued to protect Bonifa..

As if there is no end.

While everything was confusing, there was one thing that was certain. If things continue like this, Oliver will lose..

Oliver's emotions, magic power, life force, and natural power were already almost exhausted, so he didn't have much means to resist..

So, in order to finish off the victory, Oliver used both hands to control the lightning spear and concentrated his power, reducing unnecessary consumption and putting pressure on Bonifa with maximum efficiency..

In the process, the lightning pillar takes its shape neatly and emits intense light. It illuminated the surroundings like the sun falling on the ground..

At that moment the real sun descended.

[lumen)]

Bonifa's emotions, which had been desperately holding on in the black lightning pillar, gradually fluctuated, and the light emitted from his body faded to pure white and exploded in the form of an intense sphere, annihilating the lightning pillar..

a completely unexpected situation.

Oliver was blown away along with his quarter staff in the aftermath of the explosion..

The good news is that we recovered the quarter staff using targeting in the process..

‘what?’

Oliver stumbled to his feet and thought about what he had seen..

In the midst of fluctuating emotions and fading consciousness, Bonifa shed bloody tears and used a sacred method of pure white light that was neither yellow nor golden..

Seeing this for the first time... It was really questionable. Even though it was my first time seeing this type of sacred law that I don't see often, I wonder why it felt familiar..

Hwiiiiing━━━Kang!

Bonifa flew in from afar and swung his sword at Oliver..

Since he had already exhausted a considerable amount of his strength, Oliver quickly defended himself with his quarter staff..

Fortunately, the quarter staff blocked Bonifa's sword even though it was not covered with anything..

“I express my gratitude... Thanks to you, I have proven that I am a true angel's son..”

Bonifa said, still shedding bloody tears. The body reacts negatively to the sexual laws..

At that sight, Oliver once again thought of a crow decorated with colorful feathers..

I became genuinely curious about him. What on earth is the son of an angel spoken of in Paterism?.

For some reason, it didn't seem like it was referring to a specific person..

But I couldn't keep thinking about that. There was something more important than that right now..

If things continued like this, Oliver was going to die..

The emotions, vitality, and magical energy he possessed were almost depleted. All I have is a black suit that has already almost been used up and even its color has faded..

So bad so bad······.

Oliver opened his mouth as he felt the black suit gradually cracking..

“Can I ask you a question??”

“What is it?”

“The knight's power, is it really yours??”

Bonifa paused for a moment. As if something is holding me back.

“Yes, the angelic powers are now mine! Why are you asking that??”

It's the power of an angel... Oliver answered with a questioning look..

“I was wondering if I could write it too..”

At the same time as he answered, Oliver let go of one hand holding the quarter staff and stretched out his hand towards Bonifa and shouted softly..

“extraction.”

***

extraction. Bonifa flinched when she heard those words, and a cold silence came..

After a while Oliver said.

“ah······. I guess it doesn't work either..”

Oliver was disappointed..

Actually, it was natural. A warlock who extracts holy power..

This is ridiculous. However, Oliver was disappointed. As if he knew he would succeed.

And funny enough, Bonifa was just as relieved as Oliver was..

Even though I knew better than anyone else that it didn't make sense, I was worried for a moment by that nonchalant appearance..

Immediately, the relief melted away like snow, and the empty space was filled with insult, anger, and resentment..

Because it was an insult.

Desecrating his efforts and faith that he devoted his entire life to for God, for Paterism, for becoming the son of an angel, and for humanity..

No matter how hard I tried to be chosen as my son, I was made to feel the danger of being taken away in an instant.······!

Bonifa swung his sword sharply, feeling extreme anger as if his entire life had been denied and insulted..

Oliver used his quarter staff to block the attack, but was pushed back and collided with the wall behind him. went into a building.

I didn't realize it until now because I was out of my mind, but coincidentally, it was inside a closed temple where Mari was..

‘Accident? Or was it aimed at?’

Oliver staggered to his feet and thought..

Gang!

Bonifa followed Oliver inside and swung his sword again..

Oliver barely got up and raised the quarter staff again to defend himself, but due to his lack of strength, he missed the quarter staff, suffered a stab wound, and was sent flying backwards, landing on the opposite wall..

‘What should I do now? Pilgaret? the emotions of people around you?’

Oliver decided that there were no more ways to respond and looked for other means..

But it was one beat late. In front of Bonifa, who was rushing towards him in anger, there was no time to take out the pilgeret or extract the emotions of the people around him..

“master!”

Marie jumped in between Bonifa and Oliver..

Just like when she reunited with Oliver in Landa, her entire body was stained black and she waved her long, frighteningly long fingernails to stop Bonifa..

It seemed stronger now than then, but there was something that bothered me more..

It was none other than the black hands above Marie's head..

I wondered if I was seeing nothing due to fatigue. Why on earth is there a black hand that looks like it belongs to a person or an animal above Marie's head?━

━deeply!

“······uh?”
