Genius Warlock-Episode 415
415. riot (3)
“Go ahead, Mr. Zenon..”
Yareli said. Go help Jane. It was unexpected, but she was sincere..
Oliver asked back without realizing it..
“I beg your pardon?”
“Go help Jane... You are my friend.?”
Yareli said, recalling Oliver's attitude when he and Millieux first met, who was usually excessively peaceful..
In her eyes, both appearances were real, not fake. Then she had better send Oliver away..
“If it stays like this, you'll just be worried, right? If that's the case, go see it yourself. Even if one external person is missing, there won’t be a big problem..”
Yareli said and looked at Kevin for permission..
Oliver also looked at Kevin. He made eye contact with both of them at the same time and thought for a moment before nodding..
“Come back. 'Cause I don't need you right now.”
Oliver, who had been contemplating for a moment about two things, his mission and his friend, lost his confusion when he heard those words..
To be honest, if you were a strong person like Jane, there would be no problem if Oliver didn't go directly, but it was actually uncomfortable..
Yarelli helped Oliver first, and Kevin gave permission. And he thanked Terence for silently observing the situation..
Terence said after receiving the greeting:.
“It's my first time staying still and being greeted, but it feels good..”
“I am sincere... If it's okay, could you please take one of these for me??”
Oliver took out three pieces of paper with portal magic on them and handed them to Kevin, Terence, and Yarely respectively..
Like all excellent wizards, as soon as they received the paper Oliver gave them, they immediately figured out what magic was in it..
“Portal magic? ······Is it scrolling? Is it strange? It's the first time I've seen it?”
Teren, who is well versed in scrolls and magic items due to the nature of his job, was quick to ask a question..
“It seems similar... Anyway, I'll try to get there as soon as possible..”
***
Without saying anything, Oliver received Lucien's communication device from Terence and immediately left the university..
Each building within the university already had a hemispherical magic barrier in place, so it was as difficult to get out from the inside as it was to get in from the outside.,
Just like when he moved with Yareli earlier, Oliver touched the hemispherical magic barrier, grasped the flowing magic spell, and interfered with the magic spell by letting the magic magic stored inside his body flow, creating a small mouse hole and going out..
Fortunately, as soon as Oliver passed, the hole in the hemispherical magic barrier was immediately filled as Oliver had intended..
As soon as Oliver got out of the magic barrier, he took out a test tube from his pocket and extracted the emotions. It was first processed into thread form, secondarily processed into cloth form, wrapped around the body, and then black armor in the form of reinforcing bars was applied over it. Matched to Oliver's muscle structure.
After completing his preparations, Oliver slightly bent his knees and jumped..
phut━!!
High-density emotional armor demonstrates maximum power compared to the power used through extreme compression and advanced techniques..
Oliver made a dent in the ground he was standing on and moved in a blink of an eye beyond the fence to the outside of the university..
bang!
Oliver got out of the university with just one jump and landed on the wall of a three-story bar building..
Due to the strong jumping power, there were cracks in the exterior walls of the building, but fortunately there didn't seem to be any major problems..
Outside the current university, the cracks on the exterior walls of the building are almost insignificant. To be exact, Ravili, the capital of Gallos, was not in a normal state..
The downtown area that was doing business with the university, including the third-floor tavern where Oliver was stepping, collapsed here and there due to the giant's footsteps, and the buildings that did not collapse were either burned down or turned into fights where several people fought. there was.
“Off... Why are you doing this??”
“die! die!”
Oliver saw people fighting through the collapsed roof..
Some of them were in a state of frenzy due to black magic and were indiscriminately attacking people around them like animals..
People who were not affected by the black magic fought him to protect themselves, and the violence spread in all directions..
The resulting confusion, fear, fear, anger, hostility, etc. All kinds of passionate emotions boiled throughout the city and slowly subsided..
“······.”
After observing the emotions that were unleashed to the limit due to the unrest and the places where those emotions reached, Oliver suddenly came to his senses and remembered the reason why he left the university..
There were many things that bothered me, but there was something else that was more important right now..
Jane and Murphy, helping Lucien Murat, who has cooperated so far..
Oliver turned towards District 10, where the Murat family was located, bent his knees slightly as before, and kicked the building he was stepping on..
Pang━!! With the refreshing sound of air being torn apart, Oliver leapt in one go, collapsing the roof of the burning building..
***
“ah······. That's the monster.”
Jump from building to building using the black suit. Oliver muttered to himself as he arrived near Dix Castle in District 10 by the shortest distance..
While you're already here, you'll encounter werewolves, giants less than 10 meters tall, griffons, pig- or chicken-headed men, zombies armed with guns, and more. I've seen all kinds of things, but the things around the castle were different..
A female face with the body of a bird, a strange bird with the wings of an insect, a soldier with the body of a man and the head of a chick, a monkey playing a cymbal, etc..
It looked more monstrous than the monsters causing chaos in the city. However, Oliver was more concerned about the malevolence felt by those monsters and the fact that they were creatures rather than their appearance..
It's an artificial life form created through black magic creation..
It was the same type as Oliver's Child, but it felt different somehow. I couldn't explain it specifically, but.
‘Maybe that's natural······.’
Oliver thought. That's because creative black magic was the most difficult and difficult to master among the black magic classes..
The proof was that among the books on black magic Oliver had read, there were the fewest..
What Oliver clearly learned from the book was that creative black magic was not just about simple skills, but also about creativity, imagination, sincerity, and personal aptitude. All that was required was an esoteric talent or aptitude that could not be pinpointed in detail..
‘Even though I thought I knew what it was, it was difficult... By the way, was the human meat chef a creative specialty??’
Oliver had doubts as he saw monsters flying around the castle and feasting on human flesh..
As far as Oliver knew, the specialty of the human meat chef was accumulating strength through eating and strengthening the body through disease..
‘Maybe there is a warlock who specializes in creation..’
Oliver thought, recalling one of the subordinates of the human meat chef he had dealt with in the past, a warlock who specialized in manipulation..
A warlock who suddenly appeared while working with Pinkman..
He used his vast life force and emotions to instantly create a zombie army and put pressure on them..
‘That's not important right now either..’
After organizing his priorities, Oliver was no longer distracted by the sights around him and went straight into action..
Oliver went straight down to the bottom of the building, knelt down on one knee on the empty sidewalk due to the uproar, placed his hand on the ground, injected the magic energy stored in his body, changed the properties of the ground, and went down..
Oliver, wearing a black suit, fell into the ground as if submerged in a swamp, and arrived in the sewer below..
[Light)]
As soon as Oliver went down, he reflexively gathered together the magic power stored in his body and lit up the light..
However, the reason for lighting up the surroundings was not just to secure visibility..
There was a more fundamental reason than that. For example, in the dark, it's because of the person Oliver is targeting..
Wow━━!!
As soon as the light source was created, the darkness cleared and Oliver was able to spot a shadow pointing a dagger at him..
‘shadow? ······Manipulation type black magic? no. It's a creature.’
Oliver thought as he observed the shadow holding the dagger..
The shadow, which had grown to fill the passageway when the light first illuminated it, became smaller due to the light, and thanks to this, Oliver was able to block the shadow's attack with relative ease..
But that didn't make me feel at ease.
“Hehehehehehehehe!!”
As soon as Oliver struck down the dagger, a man dressed as a clown came down from the sewer ceiling and brandished a toy-like scythe..
At first glance, it looked very human, but Oliver could tell that this clown was also a creature..
It was quite surprising. A creature so similar to a human?.
“Hoooot! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!”
Clown Creature, who came down, swayed his upper body from side to side, looking for an opening, and swung his toy scythe..
Despite its crude, toy-like appearance, the scythe was powerful enough to leave deep cuts on concrete walls and cut through iron pipes, but its wielding skills were crude and Oliver received close-range training from Kevin, Terence, and Yarely. was able to dodge and counterattack without much difficulty..
Mulkyung.
When Oliver fired the quarter staff to avoid the toy scythe, the fat clown's chest caved in and made a weak sound..
Creature the Clown laughed.
“Yohohohohohohohoho!!”
[Grind)]
As Oliver chanted, ear-piercing sounds and evil laughter echoed throughout the sewers..
“Kkeohyohohohohoho! Hahahaha!!”
Clown Creature was rolling around on the floor with a huge hole in his chest, struggling as if in pain, but his face was still smiling..
When Oliver tilted his head at the awkward and grotesque appearance as if he was wearing clothes that did not fit, the shadow swallowed the darkness that the light could not reveal, increased the size of the dagger, extended its arms, and stabbed the clown Creature, swallowing it..
gulp!
It looks unrealistic, like a cartoon in a newspaper. Oliver observed the scene in silence..
As if examining by what principle such a thing is possible..
After digesting all the creatures, the shadow snapped his finger and a crocodile appeared from the stagnant water in the middle of the sewer..
A crocodile that is slightly different from a real crocodile has large eyes and a snout that resembles a human mouth..
Interestingly, when the crocodile opened its mouth, there was a parrot inside it..
[you! It's Dave?]
The parrot opened its mouth and said.
The voice, which seemed to be somewhere between man and beast, made a harsh sound, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, but Oliver answered politely..
“Now it's Zeno. He's an employee of Magic Tower. Can I ask your name??”
[I am! I'm a fan!]
Pan. Oliver could instinctively sense that the fan was an eternal child fan..
“nice to meet you Mr. Fan. If you don't mind, can I ask you a question??”
[Just as I heard! What?!]
“By any chance, was it you, Fan, who attacked the castle above??”
[uh!]
“Can you ask what the reason is??”
[To call you out!]
An unexpected answer. the fan continued.
[Human meat chef! The old man promised! If you help me, I'll help you catch me.!]
“Absolutely?”
[okay! But I changed my mind! As the old man wants! He didn't want to move!]
He suddenly attacked me and then changed his mind again... Oliver wondered what this was talking about. He didn't seem like he was just saying it..
Oliver focused his attention on his eyes. Opened the eyes of a warlock..
The general view disappeared as everything around Oliver was immersed in darkness, and the emotions of Jane and Murphy and the nature of the creatures were visible in the distance..
The essence of creatures... It was pretty interesting.
“······If you have changed your mind, can we part ways peacefully like this??”
[The one who came to the rescue! I guess you're worried!?]
The fan asked straight to the point as if stabbing him with a knife, and Oliver nodded..
[why! I'm worried!?]
“yes”
[the reason is! What!?]
“hmm······. The person who helped me and the person I know. And because we are friends.”
[friend!?]
“yes, friend.”
The parrot that heard the answer made a smiling expression for some reason..
***
After finishing his conversation with the fan, Oliver ran straight toward the direction he saw through the warlock's eyes..
Fortunately, Pan obediently let Oliver go, as if he really had no intention of helping the human meat cook, and thanks to this, Oliver was soon able to meet the Murat family, the Kimbell family, and Jane, who had escaped into the sewer through the secret passage of Dix Castle..
They all looked surprised as soon as they saw Oliver. In particular, Jane was the most surprised..
“D- No, Zeno... here how?”
Jane's reaction was that she didn't know Oliver was coming. However, because she was quick-witted, she immediately grasped the situation. I saw Lucien.
He shrugged his shoulders as if he had no choice and said to Oliver:.
“Thank you for coming. Mr. Zenon. Thanks to you, I lived.”
“no. Rather, you were attacked by a monster.?”
Oliver asked, thinking of Pan's creatures..
“Yes, they suddenly attacked my castle. It was so strong that our forces collapsed helplessly and we had to flee here immediately. Even here, we were helplessly surrounded..”
“Fortunately, it looks like you're safe..”
Then, Murphy intervened..
“I don't know why, but even though they could have surrounded us and finished us off, they suddenly stopped and just left. This is a topic that has been attacking me to death just now..”
Oliver remembered the fan he had talked to earlier. I had a doubt. Did I really suddenly not want to help the human meat cook? Or is there another reason?.
However, I could not figure out the reason by thinking alone..
“Anyway, it's probably safe now if the monster shows up again. Because Zenon came..”
Lucien spoke sincerely, as if he trusted Oliver. Although he was grateful for his trust, Oliver shook his head..
“well. I'm not sure about that..”
“yes?”
When Oliver said that, he turned his head toward the sewer passage and opened his mouth..
“Mr. Puppet.”
puppet. Everyone froze at those words, and after a while, an old man walked out of the darkness..
A naked beggar wearing only rags..
“It's been a while.”
Beggar. No, answered the puppet..
