Genius Warlock-Episode 396
396. Long time no see (1)
“human meat chef······.”
My sister said so. A human meat chef,
One of the four fingers representing the Black Hand, and a monster that even Kevin recognizes as having lived for hundreds of years. Head of a criminal empire that divides Gallos.
Not only that, even though the Crime Firm was openly attacked, the giant was unable to fight carelessly and swallowed up the Magic Tower of Gallos and part of Loculi University..
Oliver looked at the big man and said.
“hello? Human meat chef... Are you a human meat chef??”
In response to the bold and inconsistent question, my sister and her sisters all looked at Oliver. I wonder if I'm sane.
“Hehehe...! As the rumor goes, this guy is missing a screw..”
The worm-like lips on the lump of flesh wriggled and spoke. The clay-like lump of flesh made a very loud and resonant sound in proportion to its size..
“Rumors?”
“Yes, I heard a rumor that there is a dark wizard in Landa... But, it was true. hello? rani.”
It seemed like the missing warlock meant Oliver. It really couldn't have been a misunderstanding. Why on earth?
“Ah, bats... As expected, you betrayed me. I guess they decided to attack together.”
The earthworm-like lips wriggled and spoke to my sister and her companions. My sister responded coldly to the word betrayal..
“It's a betrayal... Isn’t betrayal a word that requires a trust relationship to be established first?”
“A dog's failure to follow its owner's commands is also a betrayal. And a dog that betrays only becomes meat... You know what? Even an old dog becomes quite edible if it is aged well in the sauce for 48 hours..”
Although he couldn't read the meat cook's emotions because he was talking about flesh, Oliver still didn't think he was joking..
As proof, my sister and her companions threatened me by exposing their facial muscles and tendons, but they were secretly afraid..
More than just dying.
‘But how on earth did they do that??’
While his sister's group and the human meat chef were talking, Oliver observed the technique unfolding before his eyes..
Dead body... No, I was wondering how a piece of flesh that could not even be called a corpse could come together and speak on behalf of itself.
At first glance, it didn't seem like a big deal, but it wasn't like that at all..
It wasn't difficult to clump up the flesh scraps, but to clump them together without a magician, it was definitely not easy..
In order to perform this from a distance, you must visually understand the situation here through items or techniques, as well as pre-installed black magic circles and emotions. There had to be a device and a medium..
However, there was no such medium visible at all in the technique unfolding before my eyes..
‘wait for a sec······.’
While observing closely with the eyes of a warlock, Oliver noticed something. A thin larva swimming leisurely in a lump of flesh..
“······Is it a creature? Like a parasite between the flesh.?”
The conversation between my sister and the human meat chef stopped at a sudden question that Oliver asked, drawing everyone's attention..
There was silence for a moment, followed by loud laughter..
“Hehehehehehe!!”
He opened his mouth so wide that you could see the entire lump of flesh, giving the smile of a human meat chef. The sound is so loud that the house shakes..
The walls and ceiling of the building vibrate to the sound of laughter, and fine dust billows. Fighting. fell.
“ah······. As Puppet said, talent alone is amazing. I can't believe I found that. I think I know why you were interested..”
“Mr. Puppet?”
“okay. Not anymore.”
Oliver was surprised. That the puppet was interested in him. Also, not anymore. I was curious as to why he was interested and why he reaped it..
“Well, I'm the type of person who will try anything if he finds it interesting... Bad luck for you..”
“Is that so?”
“Anyway. I saved you because that guy protected you, but that doesn't work anymore... Did you think I was just lucky to be alive after interfering with my work??”
“ah······. Is it because you interfered with your sister's work? I didn't mean to, so can you understand??”
“······.”
The human meat chef was silent at Oliver's calm yet shameless answer..
Because he was using flesh as a medium, I couldn't read his emotions, but he seemed uncomfortable..
“I guess I looked funny. I see you talking nonsense like that..”
As the parasite swam through the flesh in a different pattern, the lump of flesh began to boil, and eyes sprouted in its place..
Those clumsy eyes made of flesh..
The seemingly disgusting eyes stared at Oliver, and Oliver looked straight into the eyeballs without any disgust..
You can't do that if you have an innate sense of disgust that humans harbor..
“······I have something to tell you.”
“please speak.”
“I heard that the Magic Tower dared to declare war on me. Am I right?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
Oliver answered without hesitation. In particular, I haven't heard anything about it being a secret..
“Well, I guess so. That proud wizard couldn't just ignore being attacked by a warlock... I tell the smug people living in the high tower to come quickly..”
“Yes, I understand. But is there a reason??”
“It's boring to wait. Also, I want to prove it. The reason we've been in the dark so far isn't because we're afraid of wizards. Just waiting for the right time.”
Wait for the right time... I didn't know specifically what he meant, but it didn't seem like a lie..
Considering the level of Gretel we met in Lake Village..
“ah······. and you come too.”
“yes?”
“I told you, Puppet doesn't look after you anymore. So you should come too. How many times have you interrupted my work?.”
It wasn't particularly logical, but I seemed to get the gist of it..
Just when I was about to ask what would happen if I didn't go, the human meat chef told me first..
“Of course, if you're scared, it's okay not to come. Because I can go there myself. There were a lot of guys like that..”
The human meat chef made a promise through the mouth of a lump of flesh..
“However, it will be more fun if I go there myself. I like messing with not only the person involved but also the people around them... Do you know what I mean??”
“······yes. understand.”
“Oh, great response. It's worth eavesdropping on.”
Oliver continued the conversation calmly as before..
“As you said, I will convey the wishes of the human meat chef to the Mage Tower... Do you have anything more to say??”
“doesn't exist. But if I just tell them, those lazy idiots at the Magic Tower won't know how sincere I am, so I'll give them an invitation as a way of helping them..”
“I'll give it to you if you give it to me..”
“Oh, no need to do that.······.”
The human meat cook said something unintelligible. It's an invitation, so there's no need to give it. But Oliver soon understood what was meant..
The parasite-like creatures that were swimming in the flesh suddenly crouched down, became the focal point, absorbed the few nutrients left in the flesh, and prepared to explode..
At the same time, the lump of flesh that had opened its mouth to speak changed its shape like clay into the shape of a heart..
And then slowly started running.
Exciting... Exciting... Exciting... Excited. Excited. Excited. Excited. Exciting.
The sound of the heartbeat getting faster and faster. unusual energy.
The older sister and her sisters debated whether to summon a large amount of blood and spread a shield or create wings and flee..
There was a lot of shouting due to disagreements, but soon there was no reason to raise voices..
Because while they were talking, Oliver arbitrarily took control of the blood. Before they could respond, Oliver moved the blood he had stolen and surrounded the heart-shaped bomb..
[Blood Coffin)]
As he chanted, the blood gathered together tightly, forming a hexagon-shaped tube, and wrapped around the flesh bomb..
Oliver didn't stop there..
[Black Cube)]
Oliver extracted a large amount of emotion from the test tube, created a cube made of six black shields, and surrounded the blood tube in two, three, four, and five layers..
I was confident that I could silence any explosion like this..
The problem was that this flesh bomb was not of an acceptable standard..
The creatures inside the flesh bomb, wrapped in a blood coffin and a black cube, suddenly banded together just before the explosion, and the energy they contained rose dramatically..
It was a very brief moment, but Oliver saw it clearly and at the same time realized that he couldn't stop it with the shield he had deployed..
A moment of crisis. Oliver instinctively took out a dark red tree branch, targeted the older sister and her sisters around him, gathered them to his side, and held up the tree branch..
Then, he extracted all the emotions, vitality, and magical energy stored in the branches and formed a crude, but gigantic defense shield, like weaving vines..
Clap la la rock. Clap la la rock. Clap la la rock.
As soon as the shield made up of emotions, vitality, and magic was formed, the flesh bomb exploded, and the blood coffin and black cube expanded rapidly like a putrid can, eventually reaching its limit. It exploded.
The black explosion that exploded from the inside out expanded indiscriminately in all directions without any loss of momentum, engulfing not only Oliver and his sister, but also the surrounding sights and sounds..
At a time when workers were working and capitalists were having fun parties, a large-scale explosion occurred in Landa..
A big explosion big enough to close the street..
“oh my god······.”
Oliver muttered as he looked at the surrounding area that had become flat and there was nothing left..
the city was screaming.
***
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
A car sliding on the road. A voice rang out from inside the car..
“Yesterday, a huge explosion occurred in Zone O, a proud upper-middle-class neighborhood in Randa. The explosion took place on Street 8, where artists mainly live. Reportedly, there have already been numerous casualties, and the police department announced that an international terrorist organization may be behind it. Some say- um... It's not entirely wrong. For an article written by No, is it obvious? A good lie is one with some truth in it.”
Oliver, sitting across from Forrest, nodded his head..
Since the human meat cooks were high-risk criminals, they could also be considered an international terrorist organization..
“That's the only story in every newspaper..”
“of course. A bombing occurred in Landa. And that too, in a middle-class residential area where public security is guaranteed. The good news is that the city is responding well..”
Oliver nodded again..
The huge bombing that occurred as a human meat cook was currently well managed through the connection between the city and the Magic Tower..
By hiding the entire content and revealing only certain facts little by little..
It was a smart move..
If you tell too much of the truth at once, people will be confused, if you just cover it up with lies, the city will look incompetent, and if the truth is revealed through other channels, an unavoidable situation will arise..
Oliver felt proud of himself..
In the past, I would have understood complex political and social stories through Forrest's explanations, but now I understand them on my own..
It was truly amazing.
“By the way, you are really great too. Surviving that massive explosion?.”
Forrest showed Oliver the photo in the newspaper..
In the photo in the newspaper, numerous buildings collapsed and disappeared, leaving a huge space flattened out..
This part gives you an idea of how terrifying the power of the explosion is. Surviving in the middle of such an explosion was nothing short of amazing..
“I was lucky.”
Oliver answered. Because I had secured a large amount of emotion, vitality, and magic power through the dark red tree branches, I was barely able to survive..
Even though the emotions, vitality, and magic that the tree consumed were almost exhausted..
“Anyway, this makes it clear. The Magic Tower will have no choice but to fight with the human meat cooks. And as quickly as possible.”
Oliver did not disagree. He himself agreed.
The invitation sent by the human meat chef was a declaration of war against the magic tower, and was also a threat..
If you stop coming, it will cause greater damage not only to the Mage Tower but also to Landa..
“Why? As you can see in the newspaper, the human meat chefs are the Gallos government and the University of Loculi. We were already dealing with quite a few enemies, so why did they even provoke the Magic Tower??”
“well······. I shouldn't say this in front of you, but I am a warlock. especially. All highly skilled warlocks are very intelligent, and it is not easy to read their thoughts. Maybe it's because they want to increase the fight itself..”
“yes?”
“Maybe they want to use external enemies to unite internally, or maybe they want to fight on a grand scale and increase their reputation through it. Either that, or you decide you can win..”
I am sure of victory... That also seemed like a valid statement..
Looking at the creative black magic he showed and the way he spoke, he showed considerable skill and a certain level of confidence..
‘There are some things that are a bit unclear, though.······.’
“What is the situation at the Magic Tower??”
Forrest finished reading the newspaper and asked.
“You are very busy. It was busy even after Lake Village, but it got even busier after I delivered the message from the human meat chef. After sharing this with the city, we became even busier..”
It was like that. After surviving the explosion, Oliver took his sister's group and immediately went to the Magic Tower to talk about the incident..
The magic tower was shocked, and since the matter was serious, it immediately requested help from the city..
Fortunately, thanks to that, I was able to hide the details, but I ended up dealing with a human meat chef with interference from the city..
“From what I heard, Gallos has already requested support. Not only from the University of Loculi, but also from the Gallos government..”
“During the ABC case, Landa created its own cooperative relationship with other countries using the information on financial crimes on enjoyment obtained, so it is not surprising that the Gallos government asked for help..”
It was true. After Sheamus' ABC incident, Landa once again proved their abilities, while also promoting the status of the Security Bureau and establishing cooperative relationships with other countries in criminal investigation..
Landa's influence increased..
“The original plan was to take time to secure the most elite wizards and send support, but for now, they plan to send a small number of people as an advance guard as soon as possible. To collect information and build a cooperation network with local personnel..”
“Because starting is a more important moment than preparation... Are you participating too??”
“yes. I think I'll probably go.”
Oliver answered. Because the human flesh chef had invited Oliver, Oliver declared that he would go on his own after delivering the human flesh chef's message to the magic tower. There was no one in the Magic Tower who was against it..
After hearing the answer, Forest showed complex emotions and facial expressions..
“I'd like to give you some advice, but I'm not at that level anymore..”
Forrest was sincere, but Oliver denied it..
“Forest is already helping me enough. Don't say that..”
“It's because of the promise.”
Forrest answered while looking at Area W through the window..
After Area.
District W lived up to its reputation with a large number of poor people, and Forrest's car stopped at the place where the largest number of poor people were gathered..
I wondered why there were so many, but there was a soup kitchen there..
A soup kitchen that distributes fried bread and cheap coffee. There was a sign reading ‘Poor Brothers’ on a shabby building next to the soup kitchen..
It was a welfare center run by Cant..
“The boss has arrived.”
Forrest and Oliver got off at Al's words..
As the meeting became clear, Forrest became increasingly nervous. He had to face his sins.
Oliver said, hoping to ease Forrest's nerves..
“Forrest. Can I ask you to do something for me later??”
“Do I really need to tell you now? ······Something?”
“I'd like to introduce you to a few girls at the Magic Tower, but I think there might be some problems with my status as Zenon. So, I would like to introduce you in the form of a request from a fixer, but Mr. Fores, could you connect me with those girls in the form of a contract? As a client and a problem solver..”
“This is a very suspicious and uncomfortable request. Don't do anything... What does the client do? What is your name??”
“This is Sister Erzsebet. He is the current owner of the Bathory family..”
“hmm······. Bathory Family?”
“yes.”
“I'm going around... It's not surprising anymore.”
