Genius Warlock-Episode 426

426. Gyeok (格)) (1)

“Oh my, I hate it...! Why do you show up every time I show up? Are you interested in me? Because we're all old.”

Ravili, the capital of Gallos.

Gretel spoke from District 11, which is outside of District 1, the center of the area..

She was smiling on the outside, with her body radiating dark red energy, but her awkward expression and cold sweat on her forehead showed that she was not in a very good condition..

It didn't seem like he was simply disturbed..

Hwiiiiiii... Tak.

Merlin, who was flying using magic, landed on a building some distance away from Gretel and answered..

“I apologize if I was offended. However, please do not misunderstand. I'm not that interested in women.”

“swimming······. is it so?”

“exactly. Even when I was young, I was more interested in magic..”

That was true. When Merlin's hair was still full and her skin was plump, Merlin was more interested in magic than reason, despite her fierce spirit, and devoted all of his time to studying, training, and academic exchanges..

There was a time when I almost became interested in the opposite sex when I reached a certain level, but ironically, I was selected for the archive of my dreams, and from then on,······.

“You don’t believe me? Old people pretend to be more uninterested in money and life than anyone else, pretend to be detached, and pretend to be wise, but in reality, they are more greedy than anyone else.?”

“I won't deny it. The idea that you become wiser as you get older and more detached from your desires is just an old man's delusion. Humans are creatures that become uglier as they age. I also realized this when I got older. But please believe me, I am sincere when I say I am not interested in you..”

“Can you prove that??”

“of course······. Because I'm not interested in women older than me. It's been like hundreds of years.”

As soon as Merlin answered, Gretel's expression, which had been pretending to be relaxed, distorted for a moment, and she used the hellish energy that was filling her body to cast a spell..

Only a very small amount of Gretel's magic, stained black with the energy of hell, spread through the air and reached the ground. She moved quickly across the ground and quickly reached the building where Merlin was standing..

As soon as the magic power reached the building, the magician's will was activated, and black thunderbolts shot up from the bottom..

Bang━━Kwarararang!!

A huge black flash of light shot up into the sky from the lowest floor of the building..

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and with a loud noise like a mountain collapsing, concrete fragments the size of a house flew high into the sky..

In the aftermath of the impact, the fragments of the shattered building flew high into the sky and soon poured down like rain, and Gretel opened the eyes of the warlock and followed the whereabouts of Merlin, who had disappeared..

‘has disappeared? Did you escape with space magic??’

It was extremely difficult to use spatial magic without the opponent noticing, but it was not impossible..

Especially if it is an archive where knowledge has been passed down over a thousand years..

Gretel felt regret for a moment..

If I did well, I would have been able to taste the archive. The whereabouts of his thousand years of knowledge and his legendary, enormous wealth are also known..

Just a few days ago I wouldn't have been sure, but not now..

Even though it is unstable, I have gained enough strength..

shaking.

Gretel looked at her trembling hands. It was because of her tremendous energy pulsating through her veins. This overwhelming power made Gretel feel uneasy, but at the same time she was able to gain courage and strengthen her resolve..

closely······.

‘you can do it. I can do it.’

Gretel said to herself and clenched her fists..

Then, looking around again with the eyes of a warlock and confirming that Merlin was not there, she decided to go to her brother..

As per the original plan, to absorb the power of hell and then eat this guy called Dave..

“It's sad if you ignore me because I'm old..”

A voice heard from a corner where I couldn't feel anything.

Gretel was startled and turned her head to find Merlin hiding behind a huge piece of concrete..

He didn't know what kind of magic he had used, but he was stuck behind the fragments, completely hiding not only his emotions but also his vitality and magic..

He threw the torn paper towards Gretel, and Gretel deployed multiple shields using black magic mixed with the energy of hell. I tried to block the paper..

Contrary to its appearance, the paper was as heavy as a piece of iron but sharp as a knife, and as a result, it pierced three of the five layers of the shield Gretel had deployed in one go..

But that's it. Gretel reacted quickly, focusing her magic to match the power of the paper, adding rotation to the hitting area, and changing the shape and angle of the shield, and the paper, which boasted enormous power, slipped helplessly..

Sooooo!

The paper that passes over the shield along the slanted surface flies far away and collides with a building on the ground..

It made a loud noise as if an artillery barrage had hit the building, causing it to collapse. Even though it was a simple attack without any magic, its power was beyond imagination..

‘This is the peak of wizards. An archive carrying the secrets of the world······!’

Gretel, who once again realized the power of the archive, was astonished, but at the same time, her desire to win was aroused..

Because he wanted to test the power he had just gained. The strength that went into all of my efforts as well as that of my brother..

After making up her mind, Gretel gathered a large amount of black magic, compressed it, processed it into an arrow, and imbued the tip with various disease-related black magic..

A level that can infect even stones. Gretel threw an arrow at Merlin, who was hiding behind concrete debris..

“Isn’t it embarrassing that this famous archive is hiding like a rat??!”

As soon as he asked the question, the arrow pierced Merlin. Creates a hole large enough to separate the upper and lower body..

I definitely thought I would deploy a shield to block it, but... At that time, Merlin's appearance, with his upper and lower body divided, changed..

As the fog cleared, Merlin's image became blurred, and beneath him, a mass of stones in the shape of a human being was revealed..

Camouflage using water magic magic.

As soon as Gretel realized this, she heard a voice above her head again..

“There's no shame in being able to completely fool someone like you..”

Merlin was standing on falling concrete debris. He looked down at Gretel completely, and it was a composition that Gretel did not like very much..

Gretel tried to target Merlin by manipulating the arrow she had fired earlier, but this time, Merlin was one step faster..

[Stone Shower)]

Before he knew it, Merlin exerted influence on the breakthrough plane that he had injected his magic into, sending dozens or hundreds of large and small concrete fragments floating in the air towards Gretel..

Huge masses of concrete fragments were flying from all directions, with their strength and weight amplified by magical power.,

Gretel was not embarrassed and concentrated the magic power within her body. His emotions exploded, sending huge magic blades flying in all directions..

Then, the concrete fragments containing the archive's magic shattered, raising dust..

“good.”

The black magic blade destroyed all the stones that threatened its owner, then turned and flew towards Merlin as if swimming in the air, following its owner's command..

Of course, Merlin was going to defend himself, and he would have to use a lot of magic to block an attack of this magnitude..

‘And when you use big magic, there are gaps.’

While waiting to see how Merlin would respond, when he was about to counterattack, Merlin finally used magic..

Completely unexpected magic.

[Volt)]

What Merlin used was the most basic of the Mjolnir schools' lightning magic..

Basic magic that converts magical power into electrical energy.

At best, it was just a prank that could be used for electric shock, but Merlin used the magic with one hand wide open..

The magic power gathered at the fingertips radiated a bright light and each one gave off electricity, which stretched out into many branches like tree branches and struck down each of the magic blades shot by Gretel..

‘I really intend to destroy it?’

Gretel beamed with suspicion. No matter how arch-mage Archive was, magic had its own rank..

It made no sense to block one's own magic with such low-level magic..

Not only the amount of magical energy, but also the magic and will. It was so absurd..

Fortunately, the world is not so irrational as the lightning shot by Merlin did not slow down Gretel's magic blade, let alone block it..

Just as he was about to cut Merlin like this, the blades suddenly changed direction and collided with each other, disappearing in the air..

“······You gave the blades electric properties and made them collide with each other.?”

Gretel noticed it too late and asked, and Merlin answered..

“exactly. It's a basic magic, so even though it's not powerful, it can be used like this. This is the magic. Power isn't everything. Of course, but everyone has forgotten..”

“under!”

Gretel was amazed without realizing it, but laughed out loud to deny it..

Even though it was an archive carrying a thousand years of history, it was completely unacceptable to push oneself like this when one had acquired the power of hell..

Then what happens to her life and her brother's efforts, which have led her to rolling around on the floor??!

It was unacceptable. I couldn't admit it.

[Rain of Disaster)]

[Earth teeth)]

Gretel exploded with anger and will, spreading the vast magical power inherent in her body in all directions..

The high-density magical energy accumulated through hundreds of years of cannibalism formed a translucent membrane and spread out toward the ground and sky in the shape of a sphere, taking over space..

At that time, Gretel activated her magic..

As soon as the magic was used, thousands of high-density magical arrows filled with disease-weakening black magic poured down from the sky.,

The earth waved as if a tsunami had occurred, and the buildings erected on the ground collapsed, each rising in a rectangular shape and rushing into the sky like square teeth..

A huge maw with countless teeth aimed at Merlin up and down as if it were closing, leaving no room for escape..

11Because the entire area was a huge maw..

The way to escape this huge attack is through space magic. However, instead of doing so, Merlin stood there and opened the book..

[A work of mutual condolences)]

As Merlin quietly chanted, the infinite magic contained in the book spread and took over the space that Gretel had taken control of..

But that wasn't the end.

Merlin went beyond control of space and twisted it. No matter how vast and ingenious a technique is used, it is clear that there are laws and limitations in the world, but Merlin transcends those laws and limitations and exerts unbelievable authority over space. He twisted and shrunk it into his own grasp..

The power to rule over space itself.

At that moment, Gretel recognized the gap between herself and the archive and felt a chill running down her neck..

[Summons-Hecatoncheires)]

Damn it······!

As Gretel chanted, the vast amount of life force within her body volatilized, and at the same time, the empty space split apart like a wall, and a huge human head broke through the gap..

The head of a giant god is easily larger than that of an ordinary giant..

“Ugh...! I didn't want to summon this guy.!”

Against the backdrop of the head of a giant god with huge eyes, a downturned nose, rock-like skin, and torn lips with teeth clearly visible, Gretel coughed up blood..

He was a master of incorporating human sacrifice to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of spatial magic, but he did not regret it..

Next, I saw the magic that Merlin used..

He used spatial magic that went beyond magic and could be considered a power, and reconstructed Gretel's magic and space in one hand and threw them as is..

A space that contained thousands of poisonous arrows, the teeth of the earth, and that magic..

It was a scene like a joke. a bad joke.

Gretel uses the magic she has accumulated over hundreds of years to create large-scale magic and restore spaces that cannot be reached by human authority with one hand.······.

However, now it clearly happened right before Gretel's eyes, and thousands of arrows, the gigantic teeth of the earth, and space mixed together and flew towards Gretel as a battering ram that would collapse the earth..

“Block it━!!”

Gretel shouted..

As soon as her command was given, the giant god who broke through the void and dimension let out a roar that would destroy the city, took out eight huge arms that covered the sky, and surrounded Gretel in layers to protect her from Merlin's attack..

A terrible battering ram collides with a giant arm.

The arm was cut off with a wet, unpleasant bursting sound, and at the same time infected with a disease and rotted alive..

The giant, with only its head and arms sticking out in the air, let out a scream that tore through the space as if in pain, but Gretel must have thought even that was a waste, so she flew up, climbed on top of the giant's head, and sunk her hands into it without hesitation..

deeply━!

The intention is to directly control the brain..

The giant whose brain was taken over by the summoner who called him let out a terrible scream for a moment, but then moved according to the summoner's will, breaking the air around Merlin and pulling out new arms..

Giant arms that create typhoons just by moving them.

Those huge arms flew to crush Merlin, covering the sky and casting dusk on the ground.,

Instead of dodging, Merlin used space magic again, twisting the surrounding space and the giant's arm at the same time..

Surprisingly, the giant's arms, which were bigger than the giants, bent like taffy along with the space according to Merlin's will..

With that overwhelming size and mass, even magic shouldn't have worked..

‘Really... power?’

Even Gretel, who was so far removed from reality that she had even swallowed up the energy of hell, looked at the scene in front of her with admiration, and in the meantime, the space that Merlin was manipulating was bending and bending like a child's scribblings, arriving at the heads of Gretel and the giant..

At that very moment, the giant's palm, which had been summoned to crush Merlin like a mosquito, fell as hard as it could on Gretel and the giant's heads..
