Genius Warlock-Episode 515
515. contradiction (3)
If you think about it, it was a strange thing..
Isn't it? The idea of roughly striking an eye made of magical power and dividing it into three parts. it was unnatural.
I saw it shatter like glass. Still, Oliver had no doubts about this..
Pandora and Eve didn't say much, and Oliver himself wasn't particularly interested..
However, my thoughts changed when I saw a corpse golem that repairs damaged parts by eating fallen corpse pieces..
The moment Oliver saw that, he instinctively knew what Lilith had been through..
What did Lilith do to survive after being split into a smaller, more unstable form than Eve and Pandora?.
It wouldn't be any different from a corpse golem. It was obvious that she would have eaten smaller and more unstable fragments (sisters) than herself. There wouldn't have been many choices.
Then Oliver finally understood..
When it is said that Eve was eaten, the truth and lies shine at the same time..
Lilith said she ate Eve (the crumbs), but the Eve that Oliver knew had not been eaten yet..
kind of a pun.
Also, I could understand why Oliver laughed like crazy when he apologized..
He talked as if he knew everything about his mistakes, but in reality, he didn't know anything. Let alone sincerity, there was not even the slightest awareness..
Oliver imagined. He said that when he left to help Rothburn, he was left alone and saw Lilith, who ate the other sisters to survive..
‘······.’
Honestly, I don't know how to express it..
I thought it was similar to having a glutton sac fight another glutton sac in order to increase its performance.,
On the other hand, it also reminded me of Eve, who was confused and asked for help when she first saw Oliver, and Pandora, who approached him first and called him father..
Then what shall we say? A little more of that feeling━
━bang!!
A loud noise echoes from the front and a shock wave that sends bangs flying. Oliver returned to reality and looked ahead..
In front of me was a huge corpse golem with hundreds of corpses tied together, and my own shadow blocking the corpse golem's attack..
Even though Oliver's shadow did not give any command, it moved on its own and grabbed the corpse golem's huge fist..
This was a pretty shocking scene..
The corpse golem is not weaker than the corpse doll, except that the technology required to make it is lower than that of the corpse doll..
Like any other black magic, depending on the ingredients used and the skill of the creator, a corpse golem could be much stronger than a corpse doll. At least as much physical power.
The corpse golem in front of me, which had hundreds of corpses put together, was one of them..
However, Oliver's shadow easily blocked the corpse golem's blow with its huge tentacle..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co······!!
The corpse golem sprouted rotting blood vessels and tendons and tried to crush Oliver..
The trembling air represented that power..
However, not only was Oliver's shadow not at all defeated by the corpse golem, it even created an eye to look at Oliver..
Uncomfortably round, clear, four-hundred-eyed eyes.
The shadow looked at Oliver silently and said something unspoken, and at that moment, the giant corpse golem let out a bizarre scream..
“Giiiiiiing!!”
The greedy shadow wrapped around the corpse golem's fist and ripped off its shoulder..
Munch! Munch! Munching!
Just like when it ate Pan's creature in the New World, the shadow gorged on the arm of the corpse golem that Lilith had created with magical power..
However, as if that wasn't enough, the shadow created a huge mouth and opened it to eat the corpse golem..
Purely of his own accord, without Oliver's request or opinion. Indeed, it could be said to be creature-like..
“shadow. Could you please stop?”
Oliver concentrated his magic power on his left hand. I asked the shadow while preparing lightning magic..
The shadow that stands tall as soon as it hears the request.
Meanwhile, it sizzles on Oliver’s palm! There was a noise and a blue light flashed..
The power of the irregular sparks formed on the palm of one's hand could easily be predicted just by looking at them..
It is powerful enough to fry even a corpse golem with hundreds of corpses in one go..
However, Oliver is not satisfied with that, and exerts control over each and every irregular spark. He processed it into a single blue spark, added rotation, and threw it as is..
The blinding light just by looking at it flew in the form of a vortex and pierced straight through the corpse golem with one of its arms torn off..
flashing!
A huge chunk of flesh burned, a tearing sound echoed through the air, and the corpse golem was squeezed like an accordion, shaped like a donut with a hole in the middle..
Only the dark red burn mark in the center and the flesh bursting outward showed its power, but Oliver was not impressed by his magic and moved forward past the corpse golem..
The real reason for using lightning magic was not to kill the corpse golem, but to clear a path..
Cheeeeeeeek······.
The lightning that Oliver threw pierced through the wall behind the corpse golem, melting it and creating a path, and Oliver trudged through it..
'Cause I see Lilith on the other side.
Although it was a virtual space made up of a huge amount of magical power, it did not escape Oliver's eyes..
Lilith also seemed to have realized that Oliver had discovered her, and changed and rearranged the magic that created space through the World Tree, impeding Oliver's path..
Magical energy spewed out from the wall pierced by the lightning, filling the hole, and not only that, the floor moved and moved Oliver to another place..
In addition, hordes of zombies poured from the ceiling and floor one after another and even attacked Oliver..
The floor, ceiling, and everywhere are noisy..
If it had been a while ago, he would have gone along with it, but Oliver changed his mind and used the magical energy stored in his body to wipe out the crowd of zombies that were flocking in, creating a hole in the wall and pushing through to where Lilith was..
Kwaang!!
“I didn't know you were good at hide and seek..”
Inside a huge space in the basement entered through a collapsed wall. Lilith, sitting next to a world tree, greeted Oliver..
“Thank you for the compliment. I didn't know I was good at hide and seek either..”
“is it so?”
“Yes, no one played with me in the orphanage, and in the mine they deliberately didn't. If you are caught hiding, you will be beaten by the supervisors until you die..”
“Oh my, so sad... Should I shed some tears??”
“No, thanks. It's rough, but I tried it thanks to Lilith..”
Lilith was silent for a moment at Oliver's thoughtless remark. It was literally only for a moment.
“······Now that I think about it, I guess I should keep my promise, right? I said I would tell you why I ate Eve.?”
“yes. But somehow, I think I understand. It's because of me.”
Lilith opened her eyes slightly..
“I hit you, and Lilith was in bad shape, so she ate the remaining fragments.?”
“······How did you know??”
“Not coincidentally. Is that why you captured Eve??”
Oliver pointed to the World Tree next to Lilith. Inside was the Eve that Oliver knew..
“yes······. To become a complete being. A whole being, not just one of several fragments... I'm a bit disappointed. I wanted to say.”
“I too am disappointed in myself. I feel like I've done too much to Lilith.······.”
Oliver frowned..
I usually lack imagination, but in this case, I could imagine it to some extent..
Lilith, broken by her own hands, eats the other sisters to survive. Probably because it is not different from the scenes of orphanages and mines..
There, resources such as food and clothing were always in short supply, so in order to survive, you sometimes had to take and steal from others..
Originally, Oliver would not have understood why Lilith was angry and resentful because it was normal, but perhaps thanks to various experiences, he was now able to understand a little bit..
“······I understand.?”
“Maybe.”
Lilith smiled crookedly after hearing Oliver's answer. Pandora had a much more human-like expression than Eve..
“That's a funny thing to say. You understand how I felt, as soon as I was born, to viciously eat my other self, beings who could be called sisters, in order to survive... Also, ‘maybe’? That's really funny..”
“sorry. release. I don't know my feelings either..”
“Well, I guess so..”
Lilith, who saw through Oliver's emotions through the warlock's cells implanted in his body, responded..
“······Do you regret it? He abandoned us because he wanted to go save a worthless kid.?”
“release. First, let me correct one thing. I went to help Rosburn, not to save him. I'm not that great of a person to save someone..”
“under······.”
“And the second. Personally, I regret it. After beating you all up and leaving you alone... However, I do not regret the act of going to help Rossburn..”
“Are you saying that we, the dream of every wizard and druid, are worse than the handyman who worked at the inn??”
“Because value is relative... It may sound like an excuse, but at the time, I didn't know the specific value of Eve, and I didn't even know you were one..”
“But now you are here. Has our value increased? Thank you.”
“Similar. 'Cause I found out that I made you.”
“······Do you want to be the creator now??”
Oliver waved his left hand holding the quarter staff..
“no. no. That's not what I meant. Never.”
Oliver, who usually does not use strong expressions, said absolutely and walked forward..
“Honestly, I still can't believe I created you..”
Oliver walked forward, recalling the conversation he had with Pandora. The distance between Oliver and Lilith has decreased by one step..
“Given the circumstances, it seems certain that I created you, but apart from that, it is burdensome to use grandiose expressions such as creator..”
Jeez. The distance between Oliver and Lilith has decreased by one step again..
“Also, I don't think it's right to command you or own you because I created you..”
Oliver shortened the distance between him and Lilith by another step..
“Just because I created you doesn't mean I have the right to do whatever I want with you..”
Oliver, who had already arrived right in front of Lilith, spoke..
“So, does that mean you'll stay still even if I eat Eve??”
“no. That's not it. I'm here because of Eve, and I personally hope she's okay..”
“So, you're trying to disturb me.?”
“no. I'm thinking of persuading him. In that sense, can't we release Eve??”
Oliver asked sincerely, and Lilith giggled again and drew up the magic and emotions stored in her body at the same time, strengthening her body. He just pulled his arm back..
***
Lilith's arm, which had directly strengthened her body with black magic and overlaid magical power on top of it, was pulled back and distorted as if the air had been sucked in..
Condensation of visible power.
When the condensation reached its peak, Lilith exploded with a bomb-like shockwave and threw out a fist faster than a flash of light..
A fist that surpasses the speed of sound. The speed possible thanks to the extreme use of both black magic and magical power..
As soon as the fist touched Oliver's face, a huge shock wave spread in a circular pattern, sending Oliver flying far away..
‘It hurts. many.’
Oliver, who was hit by Lilith's fist and landed on his back, looked at the ceiling and thought..
There were fine stains on the ceiling. Implementing something like that?.
Pak!
While Oliver was admiring the stains on the ceiling, the sound of kicks on the ground was heard, and the soles of Lilith's shoes came into view..
Lilith jumped on top of Oliver, exploded the magic energy wrapped around her body, fell down, and stepped on Oliver's chest with both feet..
Kwa━━ang!!
The floor, ceiling, and walls shook with a huge roar..
Power that wouldn't be surprising even if the floor collapsed. Nevertheless, the reason it didn't collapse was probably because it was a virtual space created by Lilith using the magic power of the World Tree..
Oliver, who was out of breath for a moment, barely managed to breathe and thought..
‘You're lucky. really······. If it weren't for you, the human meat chef, I would have just died from that..’
Before Oliver ate the meat cook's flesh, he thought about comparing his body to his current body..
The pain was extremely painful, but considering the power of Lilith's attack, this was also quite satisfying..
Each blow had the power to kill even a normal superhuman..
Wow.
Lilith tugged on Oliver's collar, then swung her other hand and punched him in the face..
bang! The sound of an iron club hitting his face rang out. Aside from the burns on my right arm, this was the first pain I felt since I was a human meat cook..
“Are you not sick??”
asked Lilith, who was holding her by the collar..
“I'm sick.”
“Oh yeah?”
Lilith swung her fist again and hit Oliver in the face. As her shock wave exploded, her brain shook and the pain returned..
The cost of not defending at all despite having both hands free.
“But why don’t you stop it?? ”
Oliver answered in the same posture as before..
“One hand is burned, the other is holding a quarter staff-”
-bang!!
While Oliver was speaking, Lilith swung her fist again and hit him in the mouth..
Thanks to this, my lips burst and the taste of metal spread along the tip of my tongue..
“Please answer correctly.”
“······I'm sorry.”
bang!!
“I'm telling you to answer correctly..”
“I answered correctly..”
Oliver answered calmly with a mask-like face even though he was bruised and had a busted lip..
“I don't know how sorry I am, but it's true that I'm sorry. At least I knew I did something bad to you..”
Oliver, who was not sure about anything and could not make a clear decision, spoke his last words with confidence..
With a thoughtless swing, Lilith was split into Eve, Pandora, and many others, and among them, Lilith, whose condition was unstable, had to eat beings like her sisters as soon as she was born in order to survive..
Same situation as that of the orphanage.
However, Oliver didn't even know about Lilith's existence until he came here, and he didn't particularly pay much attention to it..
“I did something really bad to you. really-”
-bang!!
Lilith punched Oliver in the face again. The difference from before was that she gave up on conversation and focused only on hitting..
“I know?”
bang!!
“I know?!”
bang!!
“you are!”
bang!!
“I don't know!”
bang!!
“them!”
bang!!
“eating!”
bang!!
“How I feel!”
bang!!
“If you know!”
bang!!
“I absorb Eve!”
bang!!
“How can you disturb me??!!”
bang!!
“Without even knowing!!”
bang!!
“Chattering-”
-widely!
Oliver, who had been beaten so hard that the stone floor was broken, held on to Lilith's hand..
Lilith's fist stopped due to a strength that did not match her skinny appearance..
With a face covered in blood, Oliver made eye contact with Lilith and calmly asked,.
“So, why haven't you absorbed Eve yet??”
“······I'm going to absorb it right before your eyes. Because I hate you.”
“is that so? That's too bad. Still, I want to be on good terms with Lilith..”
Oliver spoke honestly about his inner thoughts without going through his brain. Whatever it is, Lilith is a life form created by herself. I wanted to maintain a good relationship as much as possible.
It could be said that it was truly arbitrary, considering that it was arbitrarily abandoned and neglected..
Seeing such shameless Oliver, Lilith opened her mouth with a stern expression..
“Also, you-”
-wajangchang!
Just as Lilith was about to say something, the sound of a huge glass breaking rang out, and a doll with a black body appeared, breaking the magic in the air..
Creepy appearance that seems human yet not human.
Oliver knew who she was.
“······number of animals?”
