Genius Warlock-Episode 499
499. rematch (2)
A sheet of paper flying. Oliver tried to block it using the emotional robe he wore around his body, but soon realized it was a mistake..
thud······!
A heavy sound, different from before, rang out and Oliver flew backwards..
The paper was used for pushing, not cutting, and as a result, Oliver, who tried to respond to the cutting attack, easily ended up flying backwards. The terrible pain rising from his right arm was an added bonus..
“Second rule of fighting. The opponent is not a piece of wood. They don't always respond the same way.”
This is an obvious but easily forgotten fact. That was truly true..
Because Oliver didn't respond the same way..
“minion. Surround and attack.”
While Oliver was flying backwards, he sent away 30 minions hiding under his cloak..
The first creature Oliver created, Minion.).
Originally, it was a creature created to deliver an unexpected blow to an unwary opponent or an unexpected blow to an approaching opponent, but now its usage has changed slightly..
Referring to the small golem used by Claude, Puppet's disciple whom he met in the New World, he decided to form a squadron of minions and attack Merlin..
I didn't expect it to cause fatal damage, but at least it would attract attention. However, those expectations were shattered when Merlin flicked the palm of her hand..
Boom······!!
The magic contained in the palm reacted with the magic in the air under Merlin's control to form a powerful wind, which caused the approaching minions to be pushed back helplessly..
And that wasn't the end.
Thick snowflakes flew by the strong wind, stuck to the minion, spread like mold, and completely covered it..
Tuk. Thump, thud······.
A minion fell to the floor in vain. When Oliver saw that, he didn't know how to react. I had hoped that he would at least create an opening even if he couldn't hit, but he was destroyed in vain..
“This problem arises if you let the opponent occupy the space first. Everything around is an enemy, a weapon.”
“okay.”
Oliver answered, focusing the magic stored in his body on his feet. The magic power concentrated in my feet spread to the ground..
I plan to use the location as advised by Merlin. However, the land of ice was silent. The reason was that none other than Merlin exercised control by granting magical powers..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
As the two magical powers became entangled and tried to control each other, cracks began to appear in the icy ground..
Hundreds of magical powers exchanged delicately yet roughly, and eventually the situation tilted to one side..
“I also have a knack for fighting for control..”
As if to prove his words, Merlin immediately overpowered Oliver's magic power and took control of the land, causing multiple oval-shaped icebergs to rise up around Oliver..
Quagwagwang━! Kwanggwagwagwa━━!!
Oval-shaped icebergs as small as 3 meters and as large as 5 meters shot up like blind bullets, hitting Oliver indiscriminately and threatening him..
This is rather threatening to Oliver, who predicts the opponent's attack location through the flow of magic power and emotions..
Oliver wore a black suit and tried to avoid the attack by demonstrating his outstanding physical ability..
It wasn't that difficult if you had the reflexes and physical ability gained by eating the flesh from the palm of a human meat cook..
Throbbing!
But I couldn't. Every time I tried to move too hard, a terrible pain came from my burned right arm..
Thanks to this, Oliver changed his evasion method by concentrating his attention on his eyes, reading the flow of magic power as much as possible, and dodging the rising iceberg with the minimum amount of movement..
It would have been easiest and most effective to take control away, but that wasn't feasible and I had no choice..
“Third rule of fighting. There are many times when things don't go as planned..”
“thank you for teaching me.”
Oliver engraved Merlin's teachings into his bones with a burning pain, and kept avoiding icebergs by turning his body every time the magic power exploded beneath the ground..
To be honest, it wasn't easy. The iceberg, which is harder than steel, daunted people, and as the iceberg rose, the space to escape diminished..
Nevertheless, Oliver dodged all the icebergs..
deeply!!
An ice pick suddenly shot out from the rising iceberg and pierced Oliver's back..
Oliver looked back and could see a very delicate magic quietly nestled among the recklessly spread wide-scale magic..
An easy-to-understand analogy is a sniper hidden in artillery..
Merlin hid a spell that would accurately hit the target in a wide-area spell and activated it at the right time..
The good news was that Oliver was prepared to respond as well..
Squeaky!
Oliver's body, wearing the emotional robe and black suit, unraveled like a ball of thread and turned into hundreds of thin tentacles..
The tentacles stretched out in all directions, grabbed the iceberg created by Merlin, pulled it out of the ground, and threw the iceberg towards Merlin, sending him flying..
Dozens of ice blocks block the sky in a parabola.
Merlin was impressed but not embarrassed, and gathered magical power into his left hand. A large amount of magical power that most wizards cannot even imagine..
As the magic power gathered, blue sparks appeared in his hands, and he stretched out his hands towards the flying ice and sent lightning flying out..
[Chain Lightning)]
As the chant sounded, dozens of lightning bolts shot out through Merlin's fingers..
The lightning bolt filled with Merlin's will struck the ice block with precision without any waste, and the ice reacted with the lightning, emitting light like a firecracker, and shattered with a dull and sharp sound of a mixture of rock and glass..
Pieces of ice like glass powder scattered in the air, creating a beautiful scene..
“What is that black magic just now??”
“fishing anglerfish. This is a technique learned in the New World. It is a black magic that can exert powerful power by deceiving the opponent..”
Oliver suddenly jumped out of the shadows, right in front of Merlin..
As soon as Oliver came out of the shadows, he created a giant black hand combining Ptah's Assistant and the Emotion Robe and extended it towards Merlin..
First, I decided that if I caught it and tried to extract it, I would have a chance of winning..
However, Merlin responded immediately by building an ice wall without being intimidated by the huge black hand..
A huge wall of ice rose up and shook the ground. Considering the amount of magic contained within, it could be expected that it would be as strong as an iceberg, but Oliver's black hands also had a record of instantly suppressing an ogre over 5 meters long..
Without hesitation, Oliver continued to extend his black hand and shattered the ice wall from the front..
“You have good strength.”
As soon as the ice wall broke, creating snow dust, Merlin threw a bunch of papers and tore off Oliver's black hand..
Although the black hand was powerful, it had no choice but to cut the paper, which had raised its magical energy to the extreme by concentrating its magic on a single line. But Oliver didn't care..
All I had to do was reconstruct the tattered black hand into its original state and create multiple hands like the head of a hydra..
Oliver controlled his emotions and magic and projected images in his head..
Then the tattered black hand transformed into dozens of hands large and small, some extracting Merlin's magic and life force, while others stretched out to physically grab Merlin..
“Cough!”
Just as he was about to grab Merlin, Oliver coughed. She felt a cold yet hot sensation in her respiratory tract..
I couldn't tell what it was at first, but as I looked around, I soon figured it out..
Some of the fragments from the iceberg that broke earlier entered Oliver's respiratory system and caused internal damage..
Oliver was embarrassed and covered his mouth, causing his movements to stop for a moment..
Merlin did not miss the timing, folded the space and moved backwards at once to widen the distance, and then sent huge icebergs as big as buildings shooting up from all directions, surrounding Oliver and physically separating him from him..
It was quite embarrassing. It wasn't just that I was embarrassed because I was being pushed back. It wasn't even a fight to win in the first place. However, I had no idea that the initiative would be taken away to this extent..
For a moment, I believed that if I hit the high-fire power spell, I could somehow take the initiative and create a better flow, but surprisingly, Merlin did not give me the slightest leeway..
He was pushing Oliver by responding thoroughly based on basic but solid magic. By taking advantage of the environment and linking technology. Truly, it was an amazing skill. It's all about countermeasures, including magic, and combat reflexes..
‘Still, it doesn’t mean there is no harvest..’
Oliver thought as he held on to Merlin's magic and vitality that he had barely secured. Although it was only a handful, and the emotions were blocked by a wall of magic and could not be removed at all, it was an incredibly satisfying achievement..
match. match. match.
[That's amazing.]
Merlin's voice sounded like an echo through the ice walls surrounding us..
[I didn't know that my magic and vitality would be taken away..]
“Thank you for the compliment. To be honest, I wanted to extract the emotions, but that's not possible..”
[You shouldn't try to get into the old man's inner thoughts. It’s so manly, isn’t it??]
Merlin said jokingly..
[Anyway, it's amazing. It's not easy to extract it during battle. Because if you make a mistake, you could allow a counterattack and lose your life..]
“Collock... You know very well..”
[Because I'm an archive.]
Merlin said as if it were an invincible card. It wasn't that she couldn't understand it, but.
[By the way, are you going to continue??]
“yes?”
[Because I thought the game was already decided. I think I'll win if I just drag on like this.]
Oliver understood immediately what was meant..
A piece of ice had entered his respiratory tract and was now causing lasting damage to Oliver. It wasn't fatal right away, but if time goes on, the story will be different..
The problem didn't end there. The surrounding environment under Merlin's control also worked against Oliver..
The snow that continued to fall not only obstructed Oliver's vision, but also stuck to his body, adding weight like lead, and the increasingly cold temperature was gradually freezing the black suit and robe that Oliver wore..
This is possible because it is not ordinary cold, but cold mixed with magical power..
In addition, the iceberg, which towered over the surrounding buildings, also isolated Oliver and turned him into a rat in a poison..
As Merlin said, even if he stayed quiet, Oliver would lose..
snow falling from the sky.
The cold that freezes even your emotions.
Land where control has been taken away.
Oliver was checked and threatened on all sides..
“Sorry, old man... Can I try a little more??”
“Of course not. Because the one who gets hurt is you, not me..”
Oliver almost asked again, 'Yes?', but Merlin showed it in action before he did so..
This is because the ice walls erected in all directions, north, south, east and west, came in like a living creature and pressured Oliver..
As the ice wall tightened, the coldness around it also got worse. So much so that my fingers can't move properly.
Fortunately, Oliver's body, which had become stronger by eating the flesh of the human meat cook, resisted the cold and moved, and Oliver slammed the quarter staff on the floor and took out a twig and a test tube containing the power of nature from his arms..
Quagwagwagwagwa!
Icebergs have already arrived very close, raising snow dust..
However, Oliver did not panic and extracted the power of nature with one hand, while at the same time pulling out the life force and magic extracted from Merlin and the emotions from the emotional robe wrapped around his body and mixing them together..
‘It's a shame it's not a dark red tree branch. It may not have as big of an effect as you think..’
After this was over, Oliver decided that he had to go get the dark red tree branches, and he put the mixed ingredients into the ground made of ice..
[Black Magic - Creation Series: Cold Wood)]
[Black magic: Parasite)]
[Druid's Sorcery: Rapid Growth]
***
Oliver modified the technique he used in his fight with Fan and activated a similar but more advanced technique..
It is a technique that combines not emotions and the power of nature, but an artificial soul and the power of nature. There were two main reasons for performing this technique..
First, rather than using the same technique that used a fan, I wanted to use an advanced technique.,
Second, I wanted to create synergy beyond forcing the opposites of wood and cold together..
So, creation-type black magic was activated using artificial souls..
I hope that the creative field will be able to act as a sufficient glue for combinations that cannot be achieved through common sense. And Oliver's expectations were rewarded..
Wood and cold. Two elements that cannot coexist were bound together in the name of creation to create contradictory life forms..
A cold tree that grows quickly by eating the cold magic contained in the cold..
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst!!
The gray tree branches that came to life took root in the icy ground and expanded their territory in all directions..
It uses strong roots that can survive in the hard, cold ice..
The strong roots squeezed through the chunks of ice and grew bigger by taking advantage of the cold magic inside, and the bigger roots even stopped the iceberg from advancing..
But this wasn't the end. The Creature, who consumed Merlin's vast magical power, caused trees to grow sporadically around the area as per Oliver's will..
A cold tree, mottled white and gray, dead but alive..
Cold trees growing everywhere sprouted eyes instead of green leaves, showing Oliver where Merlin was..
“There you are.”
After finding out Merlin's location, Oliver attached the paper imbued with portal magic to the quarter staff and threw it into the sky..
[Black Javelin)]
The quarter staff, partially clad in emotional robes, rose high into the sky, and when it reached its peak, Oliver chanted..
[Targeting)]
[Strength)]
[Heavily)]
[Acceleration)]
As he chanted, a target was assigned to the quarter staff flying high in the sky, the head tilted to one side, its weight and strength increased, and it flew in a line toward Merlin beyond the ice wall..
Oliver could see indirectly through the cold trees.
Merlin tries to block the quarter staff by building an ice wall. However, for the first time today, the ground did not move as Merlin wanted..
Even if Merlin had control over the land, the cold trees rooted in the ground physically blocked it..
Meanwhile, the quarter staff was flying at a speed that was difficult to perceive and had already arrived right in front of Merlin..
bang━━━!!!
A huge shock wave occurred that tore through the air..
Merlin swung the book and hit Oliver's quarter staff. Surprisingly, the Black Javelin used Targeting, Strength, Heavily, and Acceleration. As soon as the quarter staff, which was given five spells, collided with the book, all spells were shattered and it flew through the air and landed on the ground..
I was just wondering what on earth the book was made of and why it was so sturdy..
‘I can't ask right now.’
Oliver postponed his curiosity for a moment and asked the cold tree for a favor..
The cold tree tore and shook the ground and spread loudly in all directions, and Oliver took out a piece of paper imbued with portal magic from his arms. Paper that matches the one attached to the quarter staff.
When he threw the paper, a purple portal was created in the air, and without hesitation, Oliver jumped into it and closed the distance with Merlin beyond the ice wall..
“I'm surprising you twice today.”
“thank you But, maybe three times.”
Oliver said, looking at Merlin and the gray trees surrounding him..
The cold tree, as Oliver requested, created a huge gray forest in a radius..
With this, the firewood is ready. Oliver used all of the magic power stored in his body and the emotional robe he wore to create a transformation and then shouted..
[Cold forest fire)]
As the chant rang out, black flames consumed the cold trees and covered the icy land, creating a huge flame that could be seen even beyond the horizon. Both Oliver and Merlin.
