Genius Warlock-Episode 531

531. red hood (2)

“oh······. You're amazing..”

Oliver was impressed as he watched the battle between the Red Hood family and the Broken Sword mercenaries from afar..

The skills of both are amazing. Even if I came to Landa, I could still get a spot..

In particular, the Red Hood family was small in number. Each one was a high-level warlock..

The proof is that he can digest as many as eight disease-enhancement black magic spells without difficulty. Also, the cooperation was pretty good..

At first glance, the average warlock organization seemed disciplined and well-united, but in fact, there were quite a few cases where hands and feet did not work together, but that was not the case here..

Maybe it's obvious. If you came here to take over the legacy of a human meat cook, you would have the minimum skills..

[But what's most surprising is Red Hood's tactics..]

Eve, who observed the Red Hood family's fight through the World Tree, spoke through a communication device attached to the inside of her shirt collar..

Oliver agreed..

Black magic skills, cooperation. Although they were all great, the mercenaries on the other side were also not of average skill. Each one is a well-trained veteran, and their cooperation skills are not lacking at all..

This fact can be seen just by looking at how each person did their part to respond to an unexpected surprise attack..

Above all, the Pure Magic School wizard, who is presumed to be the leader, was skilled enough to wield over a hundred swords at the same time..

A superman who can change the flow of battle all by himself..

When looking at objective power, the fight between the Red Hood Family and Broken Sword was not a fight that would end all at once..

Nevertheless, the reason the fight ended so quickly was none other than a wolf using black magic. It was thanks to Red Hood's brilliant strategy..

At first glance, it seemed like a mindless attack with only a body enhanced by black magic and the ability to recover through cannibalism, but Oliver, watching from afar, could see that was not the case..

Red Hood accurately caught Broken Sword, who was retreating after suffering damage and with low morale, and attacked them precisely, targeting their weakened state of mind.,

After drawing attention by sending out his subordinates without stopping like a wave, he struck an effective blow with high-power firearm-type black magic..

And then the close combat began.

He led the battle perfectly. What was interesting was that I didn't get excited and waited..

Until emotions reach their peak on the battlefield. Also, until the opponent reveals his last strength,.

A battle calculated from start to finish.

In the end, the leader of the mercenary group personally stepped forward and revealed his last card, and Red Hood, who confirmed this, joined the fight without hesitation and struck down the other side before they showed their full strength, effectively ending the fight..

It wasn't average skill. I've never seen people fight so meticulously even in the back world..

The mercenary group, which lost its leader, lost its will to fight and collapsed like sand, people were reduced to meat, and weapons and items were reduced to loot..

Crrrrr······.

Squeak. chewy.

Tdu-duk-duk... Tduduk!

The only sound that could be heard in the dense forest was the sound of meat being ripped open, and Oliver looked at it insensibly..

The sight of eating people might have felt a bit like that, but since the place was a place in the first place, I didn't feel that way..

Everyone who came here would have risked their lives anyway. Well, the fact that there were many other things to think about also played a part. chamberlain······.

“Eve.”

[yes. dave.]

A communication device attached to the inside of a shirt collar. Eve answered.

“Is it possible to search through the World Tree near the inside of the forest??”

Oliver asked, looking towards the heart of the dense forest..

It was probably a question I wouldn't have asked normally. All I had to do was see it with the eyes of a warlock and confirm it. But now the case was different.

[sorry. not observed properly.]

Eve gave the expected answer. Oliver answered, looking toward the heart of the dense forest..

“it's okay. I can't see anything either..”

Oliver, who was able to see most small towns at a glance, said this..

The reason was an unidentifiable barrier placed inside the dense forest. This barrier, imbued with the energy of black magic, blocked Oliver's vision in the form of fog or a curtain..

This may have been the reason why Eve, who could see most of the earth through the World Tree, could not see it..

The world capital stretches all over the Earth and can theoretically be seen anywhere, but it was not possible to see areas without trees, inside buildings, or places with high-level barriers..

That also meant that the barrier spread out in the center of the dense forest was not ordinary..

[It looks like the rumors are true. There is a rumor that the human meat cook hired a warlock to place a barrier in this forest..]

Oliver was intrigued. He couldn't say he knew the human meat cook very well, but from what Oliver saw, he wasn't someone who would easily leave the job to someone else..

He was someone you could trust and entrust with both credibility and ability. I can't believe he entrusted me with the job. I was curious who it was.

“Wouldn't it be possible to find out if we go back to when the human meat chef purchased this forest??”

[it's possible. However, the human meat cook purchased this forest 87 years ago, at a time when the situation in Gallos was in turmoil, so it will take some time to find it..]

“Oh, then it's okay..”

Oliver immediately refused. I was curious, but I didn't want to do it when I had other things to do right away..

Above all, Eve is currently helping with research at the Magic Tower, so her time to help Oliver is somewhat limited. I couldn't spend that precious time like this..

[What I have clearly observed at the moment is that quite a few people who entered the center of the forest came out missing or injured. In addition to physical injuries, types of injuries also include psychological trauma..]

“hmm······. okay.”

[Are you worried? Millieux who moved to the center of the forest first..]

It was like that. When Oliver says he will get the key from Red Hood, Millieu goes to the lush center first. He said he would set up a site near the old castle of the human meat cook and prepare to enter immediately..

It may have been a somewhat risky plan, but it was also a reasonable choice. No matter what happened in this case, speed was everything..

Although I needed a key to get the inheritance, there was talk that I could enter without a key, so I couldn't take my time..

Oliver shook his head at Eve's question..

“no. Everyone has the ability to protect themselves, so there is no need to worry. Also, since the Iron Mask Paladin is there, I don't think there will be any problems..”

Oliver thought of the Iron Mask Paladin who wiped out a horde of zombies with a Gatling machine gun..

Even though it was so far away that Oliver couldn't sense it, it jumped in and wiped out the zombies. Although he used an unusual weapon for a paladin, he was not an ordinary person..

At least in Oliver's opinion, he was the best paladin he had ever seen..

Although he continued to observe Oliver in silence, he couldn't understand what was going on. Anyway, I could trust his skills. Even a barrier where the energy of black magic can be felt should not be a big problem..

Perhaps Lucien took that into consideration and decided to go to the center of the dense forest. I wasn't just a reckless person..

What worried Oliver was something else..

“Red Hood seems to know something about the barrier inside the forest..”

[······Is that so?]

Eve asked back. Although she was able to see and observe everything through the World Tree, she was not perfect..

Eve is an artificial spirit born from the World Tree. It's ironic, but that's why he could make mistakes like humans.

Visual errors such as optical illusions, inability to read the meaning of certain actions, etc..

This was also why Oliver continued to talk to Eve. Just as Oliver can learn something from Eve, I think Eve can also learn something from Oliver..

Oliver recognized this fact and explained it to Eve..

“Red Hood has been on guard inside the forest since a while ago..”

[Aren’t boundaries natural??]

“It's okay if you just stay alert, but at the same time, you're waiting for something. As if looking for an opportunity. That is only possible if you know something. It's hard if you don't know.”

Eve was silent for a moment in response to Oliver's answer, then opened her mouth again..

[······If so, it seems quite possible. Red Hood's movement range narrowly maintains the border of the forest core where I cannot observe, so there is a high possibility that he knows something..]

When Oliver provided additional information about Red Hood's emotions, Eve quickly came to a conclusion..

It was out of curiosity, but it was a good decision to watch Red Hood instead of attacking him as soon as I saw him..

Thanks to this, we were able to look at his dark magic level, combat style, and the item called the red cloak that Lucien mentioned..

Overall, Red Hood was not an average person..

Disease-type black magic seemed to be his specialty, but he was also well-versed in other types of magic and seemed to have ample combat experience. Above all, a red cape that is different from the typical camouflage item..

It was truly an interesting being..

How can wolves speak human language and use black magic? Looking at the energy emanating from the body, it seemed to be a product of black magic..

Oliver decided it was time to answer this question..

flinch.

Red Hood, who had eaten the leader and executives of Broken Sword, perked up his ears, raised his head, and then turned his head..

But not on Oliver's side..

Oliver found out Red Hood's detection range with Eve's help and maintained a safe distance..

What Red Hood captured was something else. Oliver's Mobile Werewolf.

“Kyahahahahaha!!”

A mobile corpse doll-werewolf appeared from the other side of Oliver and roared..

The werewolf with steel bars, spikes, and screws embedded in its body was enough to attract everyone's attention, and Oliver controlled the corpse doll-werewolf with a snap of his fingers..

This is the first time I've controlled a corpse doll like this in battle. I thought I knew why the manipulation-type warlocks controlled the corpse doll in a location other than the field..

It takes more concentration than you think to focus on the corpse doll. It was somewhat problematic to control it directly in the battle field. Improvement was needed.

‘For now, focus on this.’

Oliver gathered his wits and moved his fingers..

In response to Oliver's finger, the corpse doll-werewolf planted both hands on the ground and exhaled blue magical steam from its body..

A mechanical sound that resonates inside the body. After a while, a huge machine gun muzzle emerged from the werewolf's huge trapezius muscle..

“Kyahak!!”

With a short, deep werewolf cry, fire spewed out from the muzzles protruding from both trapezius muscles..

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!

Referring to the car that Philip gave as a gift, a machine gun and other equipment were installed inside the body of the werewolf, which was the second means of transportation. I didn't know how to use it, but I felt proud to be able to use it like this..

The warlocks, who had stopped at the sudden appearance of the werewolf, were taken aback when they were showered with lead bullets. Their response was delayed by a beat, and some of them fell to the ground after being shot..

Although. Thanks to disease-enhancement black magic, fatal injuries were avoided, but the important thing is that damage was inflicted..

The warlocks who were surprised got excited and immediately rushed at the corpse doll-werewolf, and Oliver took advantage of the opportunity to immediately move accordingly..

“minion.”

Two minions responded to Oliver's call..

One was a minion right in front of Oliver, and the other was a minion granted with black magic for stealth and flew low until it reached Red Hood..

At Oliver's call, the two minions self-destructed, and a large amount of blood inside poured out on the floor, creating a puddle of blood..

After coating the communication device with magic to prevent it from getting wet with blood, Oliver entered the pool of blood without hesitation, and, relying on the unknown current, arrived right in front of Red Hood..

Cheonhak!

As soon as Oliver emerged from the pool of blood, he made eye contact with Red Hood..

Oliver looked at his expression, his emotions..

As expected, Red Hood's expression and emotions were deeply colored with embarrassment, fear, and fear..

Because he was a beast. No matter how much they could speak human language and use black magic, their essence was the same as that of the rats seen in the orphanage, the guard dogs guarding the mines, and the stray cats..

So Oliver wanted to meet him. To ask a question. Why are you so scared when you see yourself? He was always curious about animals, but couldn't ask. Because animals couldn't talk.

Just as Oliver was about to capture Red Hood, Red Hood used the beast's unique agility. He pulled out his own hair and used it as a medium to use black magic to create three clones identical to himself..

And then shouted.

“scattered!!”

Red Hood running in four directions. Oliver said.

“minion.”

At the call, about a hundred minions poured out from all around the forest and surrounded Red Hood and his men..
