Genius Warlock-Episode 511
511. counterattack (2)
“Did you notice??”
A man wearing a steel helmet and magic armor responded to Oliver's greeting..
It was Eli, the branch manager of Norton here..
“He's wearing a helmet and magic armor, and he has a good sense of vision..”
“Thank you for the compliment. I understand people based on their emotions rather than their appearance..”
“That's kind of creepy..”
“It's a habit. Now it's a bit different, but in the past it was difficult to tell people apart based on their appearance..”
Eli frowned beneath his steel helmet. It wasn't something that was particularly unpleasant to hear, but I felt a strange sense of rejection..
“Why is Crime Firm betraying??”
“Are you curious about that in the meantime??”
“yes. When I return to Landa, I think I will have to explain to Gordon what happened... Whatever it is, I am in a position of receiving help..”
“You are saying this on the premise that I will be able to return to Landa alive..”
“Oh, I'm sorry if you felt bad. However, isn’t it strange to make plans based on the assumption that you will die??”
“it's okay. I learned how arrogant wizards and warlocks are while running a hotel. But your colleagues are dead. You will be no different..”
As the basis for that statement, gangs armed with magic weapons and armor moved their engines and increased the output of their weapons and equipment..
An army of steel that fills a narrow space.
At that time, Oliver held up his index finger..
“Probably not dead. My colleagues.”
“What is that-”
“-Branch manager.”
Just then, a gangster wearing an invisibility cloak came out from among the steel army and whispered..
Perhaps, Derek, Yareli, and their sister, who thought they had successfully assassinated them, turned out to be a dummy made from a corpse..
The prediction was correct.
“It was just a corpse?”
“yes······. It was a fake with magic and life inside..”
Eli looked at Oliver as his subordinate nodded with a hint of embarrassment..
“Did you realize our betrayal from the beginning??”
“Rather than saying that he noticed the betrayal, he expected that he would betray it..”
Oliver recalled the space magic shot that pierced Hog..
A green magic circle formed in the air. I felt a strange sense of familiarity in that magic circle, and at the same time, an endless trust arose..
You must have made appropriate preparations not only on the way, but also in the city you arrived in..
“So I thought you guys would have betrayed me too, so I just moved ahead accordingly..”
“This is embarrassing. The training to deceive the black magician's eyes by telling the truth as much as possible and the expensive black magic items to deceive his emotions were all in vain... Other colleagues?”
“He's probably sneaking out of the hotel and going to the Skadi school wizards..”
While wandering around the city, Oliver activated his warlock's eye to its fullest and scanned the entire city, answering..
Although it took a ridiculous amount of mental and physical strength, the results were commensurate..
I was able to find the magic I saw when the ice-type wizard and space shooting magic, which have similar magic operation to Yareli, appeared..
For reference, their location was slightly different from the data provided by Eli..
“Fortunately, I was able to guess by searching in advance. Probably, it should have arrived nearby by now..”
“under! I knew it was a monster that quickly gained fame in Landa, but it wasn't just strength. It wasn't a lie that they formed a force by acting like a fool.!!”
At the same time as that shout, one of Eli's gang members, armed with a magic hammer and armor, rushed in with the weapon's output maxed out..
The building shook as if it would collapse due to the powerful output. In response, Oliver countered by lightly throwing a quarter staff filled with magical power..
━━━━!
A shock wave similar to that when confronting Hog was generated, and an indescribable roar rang out..
Breaking windows. A normal gang would have been shocked by this shock wave, but Eli's men may have thought that magic weapons would work, so they charged at Oliver all at once, clad in steel..
The intention is to crush it with overwhelming volume and weight..
It wasn't a bad idea. If you are poorly equipped, such a close charge is just fodder for magic, but if you are armed with a powerful magic engineering weapon, it is a different story..
In response, instead of using defensive or offensive magic, Oliver took out a miniature magic hammer from his chest..
It was captured during the fight with Hog, and Oliver returned the magic hammer to its original size in a short period of time, then injected the magic power contained in the weapon itself with the magic power contained in his body..
As additional magical power was injected, the magic engineering hammer overloaded, and Oliver did not stop there and also changed the nature of the magical energy..
A radical change that occurred in a short period of time. The magic weapon emitted blue vapor and electricity and shook frighteningly..
Chick!! Chick!! Chic!!
“Don't be scared! There is a limit to output!! Rather, if you do that, it will turn off due to overload.!!”
“Oh, that's correct.”
Oliver responded without notice to Eli's shout to encourage his subordinates..
That's right, how can you not be impressed when a gang you've never seen hits exactly what they're aiming for??
Oliver swung the hammer, which had been overheated and whose properties had been changed by electricity, with his left hand as hard as he could..
Aimed at the opponent's magic engineering weapon, not at a person.
The gang came to a halt as the engine spun like crazy and the electricity flashed viciously, and of course the magic weapons had no choice but to collide with each other..
bang━!
A lump of metal colliding with a lump of metal.
Everyone stopped because they expected a huge shock wave, but the shock wasn't as big as expected..
Instead, Oliver's hammer and the gang's hammer shared the electricity and began to resonate..
Chijijijijijik!!!
The shock wave and current that did not spread there were combined to form a transparent spherical wave..
It looks like a soap bubble that seems ready to burst with just the touch of a finger..
Without missing the timing, Oliver injected additional magic power, and the current wave, which had expanded to its limit, exploded and released current in all directions..
A collaboration of radial current and shock.
An ugly blue electric current came before the gangsters' eyes, and they reflexively raised their magic weapons. This was a big mistake.
The large amount of electric current that spread along with the shock wave was originally aimed at magic weapons, not people..
Starting with Oliver's hammer, each magic weapon was connected with electric current, and the magic weapons connected to the current had the same output and changed properties, emitting electric current to the surroundings and connecting them to each other..
A spiderweb of electric current formed in an instant.
The magical weapons were moving frantically beyond the user's control, rapidly heating up. Now the engine stops due to overheating-
“-Hot, hot!!”
One of the gang members shouted in panic. As the first gang member to join with Oliver, he couldn't bear the rapidly rising heat of the magic weapon and let go of his hand..
“ah······. I can't let go.”
Oliver said so. I wanted to hold it with the other hand, but it was impossible because my hand was burned..
Because of this, the overheated magical engineering weapon fell to the floor right in front of Oliver, and the magical engineering weapon, whose output had reached its limit, exploded..
It creates a bluish-red explosion that instantly burns and shatters people. But, that was just the beginning.
The magical engineering weapons that were connected by lightning shared the impact of the explosion and began to cause chain explosions like dynamite connected to a fuse..
Fluctuating current, creaking mainspring, instrument panel stretched to its limit.
The sophisticated weapon turned into an expensive bomb and exploded in rapid succession, combining into one huge explosion that completely destroyed an entire floor of the hotel..
“Hahaha······!”
Eli, who barely survived the red and blue flames, the terrible smell of coal, the thick smoke, the impact that shook the building, and the shards of glass and cement, stopped breathing and made a sound that could be either a scream or a yell..
Fortunately, thanks to his subordinates leading the way, he was relatively behind and was not caught in the explosion of electricity and was barely able to survive..
Even though the magical engineering weapon he was wearing had stopped functioning and had turned into a heavy piece of metal, he was still hopeful..
With an explosion of this magnitude, not even that monster would be safe..
Eli woke up with hopeful thoughts..
No matter how powerful a wizard or warlock is, they are essentially human. It was difficult for the body to escape the human nature..
Sometimes, it was said that there were people who escaped from human bodies, but Dave never said anything like that..
But you were in the middle of that explosion? It was natural that he would die, and even if he lived, he wouldn't be safe..
If so, the contract has been fulfilled..
“You can get support...! You can get support. Then it can happen again! I'll break up with the Landa guys who put me here and start my own······!”
“is that the reason?”
A familiar yet foreign voice with no emotion..
Eli raised his head in shock and fear at the question that denied all the profit and loss calculations he had just made..
Standing there, with one side of his face torn, stood Oliver against a backdrop of fluctuating shadows..
He touched his face and formed a magic circle in the air. He took out a mechanical arm made of magical power and sewed up the torn wound..
Surprisingly, there was another face beneath his torn face. The face of a very, very young boy. However, due to the shadow moving behind his back, it looked like he was not a person..
“monster?”
Oliver said after repairing the leather mask he was wearing..
“Oh, have you seen it? You shouldn't look at this... What should I do?”
Oliver was lost in thought, then shrugged his shoulders and lifted the heavy hammer that had turned into a piece of metal..

“Is it still far away??”
A remote corner of Nofton. a man said.
His name is Victor. He was a wizard of the traditional Skadi school. He urged the blonde woman who was currently sitting in front of the World Tree..
The natural strength and solemn face made the viewer feel intimidated, but it was of no use to the woman involved..
“You know that it's not something you can finish quickly just by pushing yourself.?”
Surprisingly, she responded to Viktor's words while connected to the World Tree..
When connected to the World Tree, it is normal for your consciousness to enter the World Tree and not be able to respond..
It was an incomprehensible strange phenomenon, but Victor was not surprised..
She is not a person, but Eve... Because I knew it was Lilith, the artificial spirit of the World Tree..
One of the three Eves who suddenly appeared in the world.
An incomprehensible being who cooperates with the Puppet of Eternal Life, a black magician who is Eve but has no relation to the World Tree..
Is it because of that? Even Viktor, who was called a genius in her Skadi school, felt intimidated by her. She is intimidating, with an irresistible and powerful charm..
A frustrating feeling. At that time, an urgent voice was heard over the communication device..
“Victor...! Crackling!! ······It’s hard for us to endure on our own! ······Chik! Those traitors are stronger than you think······!”
A faint voice was heard through the communication device, and that voice was soon erased by the ugly sound of flames burning the air, the chilling sound of freezing the air, and the sharp sound of cutting through the air..
All that follows is screaming and gasping sounds..
Apparently, the only people who approached were Derek, Yareli, two Magic Tower students named Eon, and three employees..
Also, according to what Lilith and Viktor investigated, they weren't this much of a threat. Apparently, according to the calculations, the wizard sent out just now was enough to stop it..
However, the reality was quite the opposite, and this deeply humiliated Viktor. Because it seemed like the traditional school was gradually declining due to the emergence of the Magic Tower..
At that time, Lilith smiled and said.
“Kukkuk... It seems to be true that the orthodox school of thought is aging. Well, I guess that's why the Archive established the Magic Tower and became independent..”
At those words, all the wizards in the same room as Lilith, including Victor, widened their eyes and gritted their teeth..
The fact that the Archives made the branches dispatched to Landa independent is a wound and humiliation that has not yet healed. Viktor got angry and shouted..
“When can we fully redeem Eve?!?”
“well······? It won't be easy as Eve's resistance is formidable, but you will be able to do it soon. I think the magic tower humans will come first..”
“Well then, it will be relaxing. 'Cause I'm coming to wipe them all out.”
As Victor said that, he took all his companions and moved towards the magic tower guys who suddenly invaded..
Even though it was arranged by a puppet, there should have been surveillance attached, but my head was filled with blood from the past glory and wounds, so I couldn't make the right decision..
Although it was Lilith who induced it in the first place,.
Lilith, who was left alone, spoke while in contact with the World Tree..
“He's come to save you. Crushing people with a hammer... It's so funny, isn't it? Just do whatever you want?”
As Lilith was looking at Oliver through the World Tree, she let out unknown signs of life, resentment, jealousy, and disappointment..
Perhaps in response to that emotion, her beautiful blonde hair suddenly turned into brilliant colors such as blue, red, and plum..
