Genius Warlock-Episode 427
427. Gyeok (格)) (2)
Gretel and the numerous palms that arrived on the heads of the Giant God.
Those palms fell on the heads of Gretel and the Titan, tearing the white air with many layers of overlapping hands..
Even as her brain was being taken over, the giant's eyes grew bigger, perhaps due to her instincts as a living creature, and Gretel's face also turned white, and she tried to escape by pulling out her hands from the giant's head..
However, it wasn't easy.
The indescribably gigantic palm was not within the range of being dodged, and as it came down with tremendous pressure, the action itself was restricted..
Gretel, whose movements were limited by the pressure, raised her head again, and all she could see was the palm of her hand..
A palm that can crush anything in the world.
“Wow━!”
Huhuhuhuhuung━━Kwakwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!
The giant's palm fell down and swallowed Gretel's cries..
When the collision occurred, a shock wave that tore the air white and covered the entire sky above Laville, simultaneously smashed one of the giant's heads and broke its neck, and even that did not stop the giant's palm crashing to the ground..
In Area 11, where all traces of the original had already disappeared due to large-scale magic, a huge physical explosion occurred again, and a huge wave was formed starting from the point where the palm fell, distorting the entire ground..
The impact was so strong that the dust created by the collision covered the entire Ravilly..
It's almost safe to say it's a disaster from God... At least it was to the average person's eyes..
A little more than the average person... Merlin, who was only slightly better, looked at the scene before her with numb eyes, and used her magical powers to clear away the dust and come down to the ground..
No artificial structures remain in District 11, which returned to nothingness due to Gretel's magic, Merlin's counterattack, and the giant's palm..
All that was there was the debris of the building, the twisted axes of the earth, and the broken head and severed arm of the giant god Hecatoncheires..
An alien creature so powerful that it is revered as a god..
“hmm······.”
Merlin looked around at the messed up Ravili, cast triple security magic on the giant's head and arms, and opened his mouth..
“As expected, you are amazing. amazing.
Merlin spoke to Gretel, who was standing between the body of a giant like a mountain and the dust rising into the sky like smoke..
Just before the giant's palm hit her, she narrowly used space magic to avoid a direct hit.,
However, as if he had not completely avoided it, one of his limbs was completely crushed, and the magic flowing through his body was seriously distorted..
It wasn't strange.
If you receive more than a certain amount of impact while using portal magic, the portal will be destroyed and your body's magic will be twisted in the aftermath..
Still, Gretel could be said to be lucky..
Normally, the body could be disintegrated or caught in the magical explosion of the portal and disappear without a trace..
The fact that she didn't mean that the level of space magic she used was high..
This is an area that is difficult to reach by simply accumulating power by eating people. Merlin mentioned this fact and praised her efforts..
“The skill of making fun of a magician like a human is excellent..”
After hearing Merlin's praise, Gretel gritted her teeth and spoke in exasperation. Well, it wasn't that I didn't understand..
As the absolute and unavoidable end approaches, the odds they had built have collapsed in vain.······.
‘Tick tock. The moment a huge hole opens at the end of the world, the clock starts moving. A black sun rises from the land, an all-devouring monster is born in the western sea, the key is taken from the false gatekeeper, and the wandering child becomes a boy..’
Merlin repeated to himself a passage from Apocalypse..
I prayed and believed that it wouldn't be as bad as my time, but it seemed like it wasn't the case..
It was a truly sad reality..
Merlin spoke again..
“It's not a mockery. I sincerely admire it..”
“······What is that space magic??”
Gretel asked, calming her excitement. It seemed like he was trying to buy time to recover his crushed limbs, but on the other hand, he was genuinely curious..
It was natural. Currently, there are only two types of spatial magic known: 'portal magic' for movement and 'summoning magic' for summoning creatures from the other world, but what Merlin used was a completely different type of spatial magic..
It was only natural for a wizard to show interest..
Merlin answered Gretel's question obediently..
“It's a magic passed down from the previous archive..”
Merlin answered politely. However, Gretel just laughed..
“under······. Do I look like a fool? That's just magic?”
At best, magic.
It was something a wizard for whom magic was a religion would never say, but Merlin also agreed with that statement..
The space magic I just used on Gretel was magic, if you like, but in reality, it was something that couldn't be called magic..
Because magic is also under the rules of the world set by God..
However, warping space and exerting absolute influence on everything within it was closer to power than magic..
The giant's arms were no different from pudding. Even the magician Merlin was a force to be feared..
Merlin nodded and agreed to some extent with what Gretel said..
“I understand your reaction. But it's not a lie. Because it is knowledge and power passed down from previous archives. To the invitation archive.”
“invitation archive?”
Gretel responded. Because it was the only differentiated archive among archives that did not distinguish between generations..
The starting point and beginning of the archive. A mysterious being closest to the truth of the world.
It may sound absurd, but not only the current archive, Merlin, but also other previous archives did not even know his name or face..
Only the enormous knowledge, infinite magic power, and truth of the world he left behind tell us that he existed..
“It's fun. An archive that doesn't even know about archives... But can I tell you that??”
That was correct.
Gretel is the younger sister of Black Hand's finger meat cook. Even though she was now subdued by Merlin, she was a warlock and sorceress with considerable skills. She was the one who even swallowed up the energy of hell, although she was only a small amount..
It was inappropriate to even pretend to tell her this story from the archive..
Nevertheless, Merlin answered..
“Because I sympathize with you..”
Wiggle. Gretel's expression, who was recovering her body as she calmly continued her story, visibly fluctuated..
The sound of someone pitying her really got on her nerves..
It wasn't that I didn't understand. Wizards, warlocks, and those who have achieved great success usually have strong deficiencies..
In particular, the deficiency of warlocks was likely to be more severe than that of wizards..
“Don't misunderstand. It doesn't mean that I only pity you.”
“······.”
“I pity all humans in the world, including myself. Because we are all victims and perpetrators of a huge and cruel fate... That makes me even sadder.”
Merlin said something incomprehensible: all humans are both victims and perpetrators..
Due to the thick magic wall unique to the archive, it was impossible to read his emotions, but Gretel, who had lived for hundreds of years, could tell that those words were sincere..
He was truly pitying himself. He hasn't lived for at most a hundred years...! He was born as a wizard and never faced any difficulties.······!!
It was an insult. a terrible insult!
“······Don't insult me. bantling.”
Gretel, whose emotions became strong, lost her formality and staggered to her feet and spoke. Even though he lost big, he wasn't defeated yet..
I haven't used up all the power I gained from the crevices of hell yet..
“I didn't insult you.”
“No, your attitude is insulting to me. I am a witch who has lived for hundreds of years, a being who has eaten even the wizard king of the desert land, and many other famous wizards over the centuries! What's more, now I have even obtained the power of hell!! ······Don’t classify me as an ordinary human being.!”
Gretel shouted sincerely. To keep her promise to her brother as the end approaches.
However. Only sadness appeared on Merlin's face, weathered by time. It was an expression that I could make because I knew a little more than others..
curse of knowledge.
“I'm sorry, Gretel... A mere creature cannot become great by picking up great power and wrapping it around itself. It's a useless and dangerous act, like stealing an old authority and wrapping it around yourself..”
“then······. I'll show you what power that little thing has.!!”
Gretel shouted and brought up not her magic power, but the pure power of hell that she had absorbed into her body..
The power of hell obtained by sacrificing the entire Ravili.
Gretel chanted in a voice that was not human..
[Hell Summon)]
The unstable power of hell exploded from Gretel's recovering body..
Black energy emanated from all over Gretel's body, distorting space and eventually causing a crack..
Even those who were not skilled in magic could feel it instinctively. Something very ominous, ominous.
Of course, Merlin could feel this too. Because I already had experience dealing with it once..
I got it right. I got it right.!!
At the timing of Gretel's chant, Merlin forms a magic circle in the air. All kinds of colors were mixed together and an indefinable magical string was tied to the gate of hell that Gretel was trying to summon..
I never thought I would write it here... but it wasn't bad.
“Uh, how?!”
Gretel is shocked. Instead of answering her question, Merlin pulled her magical strings, destroying Gretel's spell, then pulled a book out of thin air and tore through her paper..
Then he threw it at the defenseless Gretel. Currently, she is too dangerous in many ways to be kept alive..
Just as Merlin's paper was flying through the air and was about to hit Gretel's neck, the space between Gretel and the paper was distorted and time slowed down..
Time didn't actually slow down. It just feels slower.
A huge portal burst open through the distorted space, and with the roar of a huge beast, a huge reptile's arm with scales like iron stuck out..
Quawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa━━━!!!
When Merlin's paper collided with the reptile's arm, the sound of steel clashing followed by a tremendous roar rang out..
A roar that will shake and destroy even the walls of the castle..
There was only one animal that could make this much noise..
“It's a dragon.”
Merlin said calmly as he looked at the dragon that opened the huge portal and came out..
The huge dragon, which seemed to be twice as large as a giant, had various black magics all over its body..
As a dragon that uses black magic, it was quite impressive, but what was even more noticeable was the dragon's state..
The dragon was a being with not only magical power and vitality, but also an absolute body, but the condition of the dragon that came out of the portal was not good at all..
There were deep stab wounds all over the body, and various disease-weakening black magic was deeply embedded in the wounds..
Severe inflammation occurred on the skin, causing the scales to peel off, malignant tumors were bubbling and growing, and in addition, mushrooms that sucked life force or magic power and malignant mold that eroded the inside of the body were seen..
It was a truly interesting case..
The dragon is not only strong in physical strength, but also has strong magic resistance and immunity, much less disease-weakening black magic..
It was a painting that could only be done not only by skill but also by using appropriate materials..
At that moment, Merlin realized. Who is this dragon and who made it like this?.
“human meat chef?”
The dragon, wounded by Merlin's call, screamed at Merlin, radiated red light from under the scales on its chest and neck, and eventually spewed out dense flames like waves..
Hwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwahwa━━━━!!!
A sea of flames attacks Merlin with a sound that devours the air..
To combat the dragon's breath, which cannot be compared to ordinary fire magic, Merlin wrapped himself in dragon skin, which has absolute resistance to fire..
The dragon's breath, a mixture of orange and red, came like a tidal wave and tried to engulf Merlin, and Merlin, without being distracted by the flames in front of him, kept his eyes on the human meat cook rushing beyond..
He pretended to attack with powerful flames, but instead approached by hiding himself in the flames..
I could say it was a pretty good method..
The dragon's true power comes from its flesh, not its flames..
Pyo Hang!!
A meat cook with a long, slender neck broke through the waves of flames and opened its huge maw with dozens of teeth, aiming at Merlin..
The intention was to take control of the space with flames, remove any room for escape, and then deal a fatal blow all at once. Merlin, who read the intention, instead of dodging, tore up the paper and threw it towards the mouth of the human meat cook..
With agility unbefitting his size, the human meat cook closed his mouth and blocked the attack by chewing, but this was a bad decision..
The magic and magic contained in the paper exploded, creating an explosion of white and blue cold..
Cold like poison.
━━━━━!!
As expected, the attack worked. The fire-breathing dragon was vulnerable to cold..
The cold that exploded in the mouth not only killed the boiling flame inside the human meat cook, but also spread the cold to the heart, causing a fatal injury..
The human meat cook hesitated for a moment due to the extreme pain that felt like his heart was being stabbed with an awl, but he gritted his teeth as if he was being chased and swung his huge wings like blades to attack Merlin..
Boisang!!
The huge wings that could even cover the sky split the flames spreading forward in two, and Merlin easily dodged them..
But that wasn't the end.
As soon as the human meat chef swung his dragon wings, he spun his slim body like a wolf and swung his long tail like a whip..
The dragon's tail, made of scales, muscles, and bones stronger than steel, moved at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom and striking Merlin..
Thanks to this, Merlin flew far away with a shock wave exploding through the air..
Although he deployed his shield just before being attacked and was not harmed, the human meat chef was satisfied with that..
I didn't come here to fight Merlin in the first place..
Huuuuup······!
The meat cook took a deep breath, and light emanated from beneath the scales on his chest and neck again. dark red light.
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlar━━━━━!!!!
When the human meat cook opened his huge maw, flames poured out again like a tidal wave. A dark red flame imbued with black magic..
The flames contained various disease-weakening black magic, obsession, and malice, and because of this, the flames went beyond just burning and stuck to the ground, spreading numerous diseases in real time..
Like, poisonous flames.
Even the archive was stranded due to the strong dragon's breath, disease, and stickiness, and the human meat cook took advantage of this opportunity to turn the injured body to his sister. faced her only family.
“brother······?”
Gretel asked as she looked at her brother who had awakened into a complete dragon..
Obviously, I ate the dragon, digested it as much as I could, and absorbed its power, but I couldn't turn into a complete dragon... and I wondered what on earth had happened..
[That's right... are you okay?]
The human meat chef answered his sister’s question. A message using magical power, not vocal cords. When Gretel heard the message, she realized that her brother had awakened into a complete dragon..
If so, it was worth a try. Against that archive..
‘······uh?’
But something was strange. I didn't understand why I woke up as a complete dragon, but why my brother's body was in ruins, and why he was nervous and scared..
Then my brother said.
[I have to run away... hurry! That guy is more than we thought!! I'll open a portal so you run away!! Even just you!!!]
“what is that······.”
Her brother speaks urgently and Gretel does not understand. At that time, I felt an unusual energy in the sky..
A sensation that sends shivers down your spine. It was similar to when I dealt with Merlin..
Gretel and the human meat cook reflexively raised their heads and looked up into the sky, and could see a huge celestial body rotating like a whirlpool above Raville..
The moment I realized what Gretel and the human meat cook were, a black flash flashed from the center of the vortex, from the heavenly eyes, and the world was completely bathed in black light for an instant..
At that moment, when everyone's vision went dark, a ray of lightning fell on Gretel's head. mercilessly.
━━━━━━━━!
With a silent roar, intense heat and shock fell to the ground, and Gretel briefly lost consciousness..
When she opened her eyes again, she saw herself lying on the floor and Dave standing with one foot on her..
He is Landa's solver and an employee of the Magic Tower..
In one hand he held a quarterstaff, and in the other he held a checkered dagger, the latter of which was stabbing something..
It was none other than his own heart..
“······!!??!”
A situation like a lightning strike in a dry sky.
Embarrassed, Gretel looked at Dave again..
He was looking at his brother, Hansel, with a mask-like expression that was almost artificial..
It's not me who stabbed my brother with the quarter staff..
At that moment, Gretel understood something and felt horrifying malice and fear..
