Genius Warlock-Episode 484
484. Advent (2)
Back in the orphanage, Oliver had seen a woman giving birth..
It wasn't common, but it happened sometimes..
Some women who had no home, no family, and no help from anyone would come to orphanages and give birth to children..
There were two main reasons. Because there is no place to get help, or because you want to leave your child at an orphanage right away..
The orphanage director did not reject it either. Although helping with childbirth was a hassle, there were benefits such as reputation and new subsidies..
In addition, if the mother died, she could collect valuable additional income such as her clothes, belongings, teeth, and hair..
A reasonable transaction in its own way.
But even so, helping with childbirth was still a lot of work..
So sometimes, when the orphanage was short on staff, Oliver helped out..
Oliver was clearly a moody and unlucky child, but at the same time he was strangely calm and did what he was asked to do no matter the situation..
Thanks to this, Oliver was able to capture the process of new life being born with his own eyes..
Although I didn't feel that way at the time. It was similar to not being able to sprout in dry land..
Oliver was numb to the pleas for help, the screams at birth, the blood, and the baby's cries..
That's why I was able to help you with your work well..
Nevertheless, there were times when Oliver was interested in giving birth..
It was none other than when a woman was embracing her child, and the emotions the women gave off at that time were truly pure, clear, and warm. Feelings that were never seen in the orphanage.
At the time, Oliver didn't know the words to define it, but now he could..
Perhaps sacred would have been appropriate..
The process of new life being born and the emotions that arise from it..
It was sacred..
However, what was unfolding before Oliver's eyes was just the opposite..
It was profane and profane..
It was similar to giving birth to life, but it was giving birth to death, not life..
“Ahhh······!! Ahhhhh······!!!”
A red girl with a full stomach and a scrawny skinny body screamed with cracked and swollen lips..
She struggled to escape the pain, waving her withered limbs, but as if something had caught her, both limbs lost their freedom and were forcibly corrected into a position suitable for childbirth..
“Wow······! ······!!”
The scream grew like a balloon, but when it reached its limit, it burst and vomited out fresh blood, and the red girl screamed silently with her damaged vocal cords until her mouth was torn..
“Wow!!”
One Pink Man couldn't overcome the sight before his eyes and vomited on the floor..
By no means was he weak-willed. All of these people here were treated as elites in their organization..
It was just that the scene unfolding before my eyes was beyond my limits..
All the people standing here could do was stare transfixed at the scene in front of them. Including Oliver..
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr······!”
The Hongin girl, who had been screaming silently, had an expression that could no longer be called human, and began to foam at the mouth..
The already spread legs were stretched to their limit, ignoring the structure of the human body, and the frighteningly swollen stomach was churning and shaking, trying to get something inside..
Wow━!!
The first thing to appear was the feet..
Feet mixed with cloudy blood and flesh.
The foot came out very slowly, and it took tens of seconds for the ankle to reveal itself..
“······.”
Everyone froze and couldn't do anything as there was no sense of reality at all, and the red girl stretched her body to its limit and struggled to escape the pain..
Tduduk.
And then I ended up breaking my spine..
But how did this happen? The red girl was not dead, not fainting, nor out of pain, but was still caught in something vague..
Oliver instinctively knew.
There is no rest for the girl until this ritual is over, and there is no rest even after the ritual is over. All that was left for the girl was pain. A very terrible and blasphemous pain..
The red people who were praying around the girl in a circle began to recite blasphemous prayers even faster, and the bonfire roared fiercely, sending out hot air in all directions..
The internal temperature gradually rises..
dump······. dump. dump.
One Pinkman collapsed, bleeding from his ear, and two others collapsed in sweat..
With this, not only Paladin but also Pinkman remained in single digits..
However, no one paid attention to them. Overwhelmed by indescribable fear and excitement of the unknown.
Hahaha haha━━!! Patter-patter!
The leg that was coming out slowly passed the ankle point and exploded from the calf area, scattering blood and flesh..
Everyone's pupils got bigger, and at that moment, the bonfire that was shaking like crazy exploded! And then it went out, completely covering the place with darkness..
All I could feel was the heated air, the girl's screams echoing again, and the prayers of the red people..
An unholy sound that cannot or should not exist in reality.
Grumbling!
The bonfire briefly lit up..
One leg was fully exposed and the head was partially exposed..
Pak!
The bonfire went out again and darkness engulfed everything..
Screams and prayers were clearly heard..
Grumbling!
The bonfire briefly lit up..
One leg, one head, and one arm came out of the world..
Pak!
The bonfire went out again and darkness engulfed everything..
The screams disappeared, and only the cursed prayer rang out clearly..
Grumbling!
The bonfire briefly lit up..
There stood a skinny man covered in blood and flesh..
Pak!
The bonfire went out again and darkness engulfed everything..
The cursed prayer grew loud enough to echo in the room and then suddenly stopped..
Grumbling!
The light came on again. But this time it wasn't a bonfire.
A man made of gore and flesh burned himself and defeated the darkness around him..
The stench of burning blood and flesh and the mind-numbing heat shook the air and heated the interior..
A space facing the worst environment.
While everyone was staggering and spitting out vomit, Oliver saw the 'demon' in front of him..
It was different. It was different from the time of his teacher, Joseph. He was different from when he was a human meat cook..
If the demons that appeared at that time were shadows reflected on the surface of the water, they were actual demons, even if they were only partial. The reason was unknown, but Oliver knew instinctively..
Tdu-duk-duk.
The yellow, orange, and red flames gradually died down, revealing the devil's burned-out body..
Blackened skin with residual fire marks, dried out body, and cracks as if struck by lightning covered the entire body..
firewood shaped like a human.
The firewood stood still, emitting a soft light, but soon it melted and cracks formed on its burned face, creating eye sockets and a mouth..
Flames reminiscent of lightning appeared in the eye sockets that were crushed and had holes, and thick smoke came out from the mouth that looked like a crack in a rock..
The first thing the devil did as soon as he had a mouth was take in air.-
After inhalation······.
-I was spitting it out..
Phew.
And all the remaining Pinkmen were burned to death while standing..
***
Pinkman burned to death. Everyone without leaving a single one behind.
I couldn't believe it even when I saw it before my eyes. Because everything is far beyond knowledge.
Oliver thought as he looked at Ricky, who was alive right next to him. What just happened to me?.
A demon came out of the girl's body and burned, then took a deep breath and exhaled..
The moment they exhaled, a hot wind that seemed to burn their flesh blew, and the Holy Knights used holy magic to stabilize their bodies and minds, and then they all ran forward and created a huge wall of light..
Oliver and Pinkman hid behind him..
By this time it was clear. However, after that it was unclear. Because it was so unbelievable.
The hot wind that shook the air melted and burned the golden castle walls..
Like pouring hot water on a castle wall made of snow..
Paladin, Pinkman, and Oliver all saw the scene, and they were shocked and took their own defensive measures based on their survival instincts..
The paladin made armor using holy magic, Pinkman strengthened his body with magic, and Oliver added ice magic to his black suit..
A technique that was rarely used because it was rarely useful..
I was proud of my considerable skills, but it was all useless..
The hot breath emitted by the devil burned and melted the light armor worn by the Paladins, and even easily neutralized Oliver's ice armor..
Each of the Paladins knelt down, feeling the pain in their lungs from the scorching heat, and Pinkman, whose body was only strengthened by magic, burned to death where he stood..
As the moisture and fat in the body evaporated, the skin became dry and discolored..
A strange shape that cannot be determined whether it is rotten, dried, twisted, or burned..
At a time when everyone was silent and suffering from the rising heat, Oliver could see.
A devil who controls his breathing through a mouth that is like a crack in a rock..
Just looking at it made his eyes burn, and even though the fur was all over the island, Oliver could tell that the devil was controlling his breathing out of consideration for the people who were here right now..
A truly bizarre sight.
But the strange sight was real. The proof is that the internal space gradually lowered the temperature to a bearable level..
Although it was still hot, the environment had become bearable for humans..
“Shut up······.”
The Paladins who had fallen on their knees rose again one by one..
Even though the terrible heat coursing through their bodies inside and out was corroding their minds, the title of paladin helped them stand up..
I was truly impressed. Because I saw the pain they felt right in front of me. Indeed, great.
At the same time, Oliver also admired the devil. Just by breathing, he burned a man to death while he was standing and brought a paladin to his knees..
It's clear that a paladin is meant to fight against demons, but he was no match for them at all..
The difference in power was as clear as that between ants and humans..
‘Is the demon summoned now particularly strong??’
Oliver guessed, and shook his head inwardly..
From what Oliver felt, there wasn't much difference between the old man on the horse and the demon he saw as the human flesh cook..
It was just a feeling with no basis, but Oliver was certain..
That means other demons can kill a paladin just by breathing..
I didn't understand. It did not fit Oliver's knowledge at all..
Then there were only two things for sure.
Either Oliver is wrong or there's something he doesn't know yet..
‘Is this included too??’
Oliver asked suspiciously..
Why do you feel less pain than others? Honestly, it was worth holding on to..
I thought it was because I ate Yoshirasa's human flesh, but that wasn't the case..
When looking at the burned Pink Man and the Paladin who feels the burning pain but is not burned, the heat emitted by the devil is conceptual rather than physical... It was something a little more high-dimensional..
It wasn't something that a strong body could handle..
A bit more fundamental than that-
-chuck.
An unknown devil stood up straight, looking in this direction..
A being that kills people with just its breath was an example..
It could have been Oliver's imagination, but he felt like the devil was looking at him..
Our eyes met, and the devil came towards us with long strides..
Every time he stepped, the ground burned and died down, leaving black footprints, and the surrounding scenery shimmered and became distorted in the heat..
The paladins did not dare to fight and just stood there..
chuck.
The devil stopped in front of Oliver..
He looked at Oliver with burning eyes, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed politely..
Everyone stopped breathing. Except Oliver..
Although he was equally embarrassed, Oliver also greeted him with the same courtesy. that's polite.
The devil seemed to like it and smiled with his cracked mouth. He playfully took Oliver's right hand and placed his forehead against the back of his hand..
That's how Oliver's right arm began to burn without fire..
