Genius Warlock-Episode 535

idea).

It is one of the projects currently being researched at the Magic Tower, and to exaggerate, it could be said to be magic that surpasses the realm of gods..

It sees and records most of the world, extracting the desired image from the vast memory of the World Tree and realizing it. It was a magic that created a kind of virtual world..

And of course it wasn't easy magic..

Finding and pulling out a refined image from the Root Net, the inner world of the World Tree, which can be said to be an ocean of information, was as difficult as finding a needle in the sea.,

It was also incredibly difficult to control the large amount of magic power contained in the World Tree to create a single space..

If you were not careful, your mind and body could be broken by being swept away by a huge flow of magic power..

And that wasn't the end.

Even if a refined image and a large amount of magical power were obtained from the World Tree, building a space based on this was not an easy task..

To use an analogy, it could be said to be similar to the asceticism of drawing a blueprint for a building and laying bricks alone..

Needless to say, he had high physical and mental strength to withstand all the series of processes..

One by one, the safety of the magician is demanded as collateral..

Therefore, at least dozens of skilled wizards were needed to build the idea..

It wasn't strange, since it was a realization of a world that existed in the World Tree's memories..

Rather, what was strange was that Oliver was doing it on his own right now..

[Moirai School & Spatial School: Idea Construction: Area X]

As Oliver chanted, a large amount of magical power flowed from the roots of the World Tree deep beneath the ground, spreading like water spilled on the ground and instantly taking over the surrounding area..

The indescribable rainbow-colored magic flows out of the ground like water breaking through wet paper and begins to erode the surroundings..

The dense forest dominated by Red Hood's clones gradually disappeared as if erased with an eraser, and a gray concrete forest took the empty space..

It was in Area X, one of the largest slums in Landa.

“Crrrrrrr······. Nonsense······.”

Red Hood muttered with emotions such as fear, caution, and bewilderment as the green forest turned into a gray concrete forest..

I have a rough understanding of what Oliver's trick is..

World tree and space magic. I understood that Oliver was simultaneously implementing magic that was difficult to learn properly..

Of course, that wasn't the case if Oliver really achieved it on his own. Because Eve was in charge of the image and magic power of the World Tree needed to build the Idea..

All Oliver did was use the power of nature to contact Eve, clearing the way for the images and magic to come out into reality, and Oliver received it..

The problem is that even this is an extremely dangerous behavior that can burn your brain or break your body..

“I was lucky.”

Oliver said to the astonished Red Hood:.

By using a technique that goes beyond controlling space, it is almost like creating it..

Red Hood thought Oliver was deceiving and mocking him, but Oliver was sincere..

The person who developed this technique was none other than the Magic Tower, and the first to bring it to life were Lilith and Puppet..

All Oliver did was look at it, analyze it, and modify it to suit himself. Even that was possible thanks to Eve’s help..

Oliver briefly explained the above facts to Red Hood, who was despairing at the overwhelming difference in power..

Red Hood was also outstanding in both skill, talent, and effort, so I thought it would be a shame if he was defeated like this..

But Red Hood was just astonished..

“It's a mockery... I saw this alone... Is it possible??!!”

Red Hood was a scholar before he was a man or a beast..

It wasn't something I couldn't understand..

Even if Eve delivers the image and magic power of the World Tree, it is only up to the magician to digest it..

It was true that the difficulty of the spell would be lowered if Eve helped, but even taking that into account, constructing an idea was by no means easy..

Projecting the received images and magic into reality required so much information processing that it burned the brain..

“Ah, this is also the method I improved. I thought it would be difficult to create an unfamiliar landscape on my own, so I chose a familiar landscape..”

Oliver obediently shared his know-how..

As Oliver himself said, even with Eve's help, building a huge space with magic was not easy at all..

Especially in unfamiliar environments.

The reason Lilith was possible was because Lilith herself was Eve, the essence of the World Tree, and because she had a body strengthened by Puppet..

On the other hand, Oliver was just a person. Creating a space was not as easy as it sounds..

“I also thought about this and tried to find a solution. A conclusion has been reached.”

“······.”

“All I had to do was build a familiar landscape rather than an unfamiliar landscape that I was unfamiliar with. It's like you don't get lost even if you don't really notice the path you normally walk..”

Red Hood frowned. He spoke as if it were a great solution, but I wondered if it was really worth it to build a space like that alone..

It's the same with a spoon or a ladle that can't scoop up the entire ocean..

However, if it is possible, it means that the problem is not the spoon or ladle, but the person holding the spoon and ladle..

Although the person involved did not seem to know this... Or pretend not to know.

However, Red Hood did not dare to question that fact. It was because I was concerned about the ridiculous structure above my head..

“here······. I'm used to it······?”

Red Hood asked very cautiously, looking overhead..

There were as many as seven cement piles the size of a building floating above Red Hood's head..

That stake was the reason Red Hood couldn't attack..

It was obvious that if a pile the size of a building made of emotions, cement, rebar, bricks, and firearms fell to the ground, the area would be devastated by its overwhelming physical force..

It was even more dangerous because there was no way to escape while trapped in a virtual space called Idea..

“yes, i made it.”

Oliver answered, recalling the time when he met a chef who was the disciple of a human meat chef to prevent a war between the Fighter Crew and the Crime Firm..

Joe came to kill Oliver, but soon changed his mind, and under Joe's guidance, Oliver ended up fighting the chef over the fighter crew..

The huge pile floating in the sky was created during that process..

To show that Oliver is worthy of fighting the chef..

It was quite a long time ago, a considerable amount of time has passed.

But now I saw it again, across the sea, in an unknown forest. I thought the world was really interesting..

patter······.

Crumbs fall from cement piles in the sky.

Red Hood asked in a situation that was extremely dangerous, as if there was a bomb overhead that could explode at any moment..

“Why so obediently... Talking to you... the poor?”

“It's an apology in its own way..”

Oliver answered without hesitation. Proof of sincerity.

Red Hood felt this too, but he couldn't help but tilt his head even more..

Because I didn’t understand why he was apologizing to himself..

“I think I was rude to Red Hood... It's a beast.”

When Oliver said the reason for his apology with his own words, he was able to realize his mistake even more..

It was as if Red Hood was a fun laboratory animal..

Ironically, through his previous fight with Red Hood, Oliver learned how highly intelligent and knowledgeable he was, and how strong his will was..

So it wasn't right to simply treat them like animals..

“also······. Did you watch it?······?”

Red Hood asked, realizing again what he had already vaguely guessed..

He raised his fighting power to the limit by consuming all the human flesh balls he had collected over the decades, and even ate the unusual body that the human meat chef had stored, becoming so strong that it is safe to say that he is a completely different entity from his past self..

For someone like Oliver, there wasn't much of a difference. Like the tricks of an animal.

“No, not really.-”

“-Cruel and arrogant.”

Red Hood said, cutting Oliver off..

Considering that he was busy running away when he first saw Oliver, and that he spoke intermittently when talking to him afterwards, it could be said that his attitude was quite unusual..

Even when attacking Oliver for his life, he was cautious in his words..

I don't know if the reason was the fight earlier, Oliver's cruel attitude, or the black magic Calm that Oliver had given me, but it was an interesting situation anyway..

It wasn't really important to Red Hood, the person involved. What was important to him was the fact that all his efforts ultimately amounted to nothing more than entertainment or nourishment for the being in front of him..

Probably, the technique I just used was not because I really needed it, but because I wanted to practice it..

What could be so cruel and arrogant??

“Well, you... You are capable of that..”

Oliver reacted to those words..

“you guys? ······Who are you??”

“The man who plays the pipe... that monster!!”

Red Hood remembered the time when he ate the witch and her granddaughter who made him like this and ate people to maintain his intelligence..

At that time, Red Hood first encountered the Pied Piper, who was kidnapping children from the village, and felt indescribable fear and humiliation, as well as a desire and ambition to reach the unreachable place..

The desire to improve and become a better person. From an animal desperate to maintain intelligence, to becoming a human being.

Oliver also reacted to Red Hood's words..

That was because the Pied Piper was the only warlock among the Black Hand's fingers that Oliver had not met..

Because of that, Oliver didn't know anything about him. At best, Lake Village, a tourist village visited during the Magic Tower conference, was ruined by Piper Sarnia. I didn't even know exactly why.

“I am! Anymore! I won't just tremble!! For that! For that!! came here!!”

When Oliver looked toward the center of the continent where the Pied Piper was, Red Hood came charging in with his clone, emitting a pretty light..

Willingness to die.

Red Hood, who is rooted in the beast, shines a light that even Oliver could not easily see..

very impressive moment.

Oliver extracted the emotions from within the embrace to see the light more closely. Control was exerted by superimposing an idea made of magic power..

[Bless)]

Marie's original black magic spread thinly throughout Idea in a form between fog and light..

As the black magic was added, the properties of Area.

Clap la la la la rock!

The pavement made of magic disintegrates like a block and disappears below, forming a cliff. Removed the path approaching Oliver,

The building's pillars and walls dismantled and floated in the air, some of them reorganized into barriers protecting Oliver, while others fell like cannonballs on the heads of Red Hood and his clones..

Even though Red Hood and his clones, clad in dense natural forces, powerful magic, and deadly black magic, rushed forward with great vigor. The whole city couldn't easily get in the way..

The situation was completely opposite to what happened just a few minutes ago when Red Hood took control of the dense forest..

It was the result of being overwhelmed by the majesty of the stake above one's head, forgetting that not only the stake but the space itself was under Oliver's control..

Red Hood lamented inwardly. The fight was almost over when the idea was established..

Red Hood resented himself for being swayed by emotions for a moment and regretted that he should have followed his instincts and ran away. Just like an animal.

At that time, thick darkness fell over Red Hood's head..

A huge cement pile that gave off an overwhelming presence. The seven are falling further and further down, covered in black magic..

Red Hood was astonished at the huge structure falling vertically above his head and quickly glanced around, but Area.

The pavement beneath my feet and the newly constructed cement building were all like a cage imprisoning Red Hood..

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!!!

High in the sky, I heard the sound of the air being crushed and exploded..

It was the sound of a huge pile covered in black magic falling down due to gravity..

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!!!!

coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo co!!!!!

As the pile got closer to the ground, the sound grew louder and deafening, and the shadow formed by the pile dyed the surrounding area as black as night..

Perhaps, if it weren't for Oliver's control, he would have thought about getting out of this place too. But that wasn't the case, so Oliver was able to observe Red Hood..

How will he react?.

Admirably, Red Hood, who felt death without being able to find a way to escape, did not despair, but instead gritted his sharp teeth and poured out the last meatball in his arms, simultaneously outputting emotion, magic, and the power of nature..

There was no trump card. Just trying to struggle and not give up even in this situation..

Red Hood strengthens the body with emotions, magic, and the power of nature that do not mix at all..

Tried to defend against a huge stake falling from the sky.

Just as the stake was about to hit the ground, Oliver snapped his finger and drastically reduced the stake's force..

Kwagwagwaaaaaaaa━━━!!

Despite being severely depleted, the seven stakes hit the ground at the same time, accompanied by the sound of the world collapsing, and a crack appears in the space of Idea. The ground was hollowed out in the shape of a bowl..

Turf... plod······.

Oliver walked through the dust and silence that arose after the collision and looked down at the fallen Red Hood, who had narrowly avoided a direct hit..

The moment the power of the pile was drastically reduced, the direction of the pile was changed to avoid a direct hit. Nevertheless, the impact was so great that Red Hood fainted..

Oliver looks at Red Hood, who fought without despair even in the face of death, for a long time and extracts his emotions. he used black magic.

[Vomit)]

Red Hood passed out and vomited a large amount of meatballs and a heavy cast iron key using a disease-weakening black magic that forced him to vomit..

Without hesitation, Oliver picked up the iron key and wiped it with a handkerchief. That's why he came to see Red Hood..

Complete the first objective. Oliver looked down at Red Hood again..

The second reason I wanted to meet Red Hood was to find out why he was afraid of me, but he didn't give me as clear an answer as I thought..

Still, he showed something more interesting than that. To the point where I feel sorry for seeing him as a strange experimental animal..

After much deliberation, Oliver decided to treat Red Hood out of respect for his will, but suddenly Eve urgently spoke to Oliver through a communication device attached to the inside of his shirt collar..

[dave!]

Since Eve rarely seemed embarrassed, Oliver had no choice but to pause, and Eve continued. It's like we're facing a disaster.

[Outside the idea. An unusual energy was captured in the middle of a dense forest that could not be observed. Hurry now - Chijijijijik!!]

While Eve was speaking, noise occurred in the communication device and her speech was interrupted..

This was something unusual. This communication device, assembled according to the blueprint provided by Eve, could only communicate with Eve, but instead, it could be used anywhere as long as there was a World Tree nearby..

Therefore, it could be used without problem even within Idea, a virtual space made of magical power..

But does such a communication device stop working? Then there was only one answer.

The current location has been pushed out of the area of ​​the World Tree..

It made no sense in common sense, but surprisingly, it was reality..

Beyond Idea, the barrier felt inside the dense forest grew stronger, expanded, and eroded as if eating Idea..

Even considering that the attack just caused a crack in the idea, this is a huge deal..

However, what was just as worrying was the energy of the barrier..

The barrier of strange energy mixed with black magic felt similar to the entrance to hell shown by the puppet in the past contaminated area..

The spirit of hell gradually became clearer, and soon a hazy fog and thorny vines engulfed the gray cement forest and rushed towards Oliver and the stunned Red Hood..

Distant vision due to fog.

Surprisingly, perhaps due to the energy of the barrier, my vision as a warlock disappeared for a moment..

Archives, Oliver's eyes don't work only on demonic beings..

The strange thing was that wasn't the end..

Obviously, Oliver was in the same place, but due to the strange flow of the eye world and the subtle earth, he felt like he was moving somewhere else.,

The hazy fog began to tangle together and form the shape of a woman..

At most, she looked like a girl in her mid to late teens..

The girl made of fog looked straight at Oliver and said.

“nice to meet you You who bear an unreasonable fate,.”

At that moment, the fog cleared and Oliver could see..

A lush forest with a strange atmosphere and various creatures in the forest. People struggling against such creatures..

It was presumed that they had come to claim the legacy of the human meat cook, and among them there were some faces that Olaver recognized..

“······Claude?”

Claude, who was struggling to control a female-bodied doll among numerous warlocks, saw Oliver..

He was hurt and shouted with surprise and joy..

“Ah, Dave! nice to meet you How have you been? ······I'm sorry as soon as we meet, but could you possibly help us? I feel like I'm going to die.”

Claude asked a request calmly and politely while dealing with human creatures, and Oliver asked Claude a question..

“do you know where this is?”

“yes?”

“I asked if you knew where this was..”

Claude answered Oliver's unusual question..

“Sleeping beauty······! it's her territory!”
