Genius Warlock-Episode 561
561. Jane (3)
Oh my gosh······!
As soon as Jane saw the human figure sticking out from the black-stained lake, she felt a physiological sense of disgust that sent goosebumps down her spine..
This is quite an unusual reaction for a girl who grew up in the Sisterhood and saw all sorts of things..
However, if you look at the human figure sticking out of the lake, you can soon understand..
Although it has a human body, it has the head of a fish, and although it is human, it seems not to be human, and it evokes fundamental discomfort and disgust..
Jane's reaction was truly natural..
Of course, Oliver also showed a reaction. Although it was different from Jane's.
“Hey, what is that??”
Jane asked, forgetting about the good feeling she had just felt while being held in Oliver's arms..
“This is Fan’s creature..”
“Pan? When you say fan, do you mean a fan I know??”
“The fingers of the black hand. It's true if you're an eternal child fan..”
In contrast to Jane's voice, Oliver answered in a very calm voice..
But Oliver wasn't all calm. Because doubts arose in his mind..
I've seen fan creatures in the New World to the point of boredom, but the creatures back then and the creatures now are different..
The creatures I saw before also had some creepy parts, but on the other hand, I also saw a child's unique innocence and innocence, but not now..
The creepy parts became more blatant and the severity got worse. I don't know if it's an appropriate expression, but it was at the level of changing from a fairy tale to a horror novel..
It may not seem like a big change, but considering the characteristics of creation-type black magic, it could not be seen as such..
The creative series, which is the most difficult and difficult to use among black magic, most reflected the temperament of the magician, so it was not something that could be changed if desired..
The fact that the creature changed meant that the fans also changed greatly, in a good or bad way, and that the variables increased accordingly..
‘Well, whatever it is, I came into contact with the devil... Could it be that this energy that surrounds me right now is also that effect??’
Oliver recalled the events in the New World and captured the energy of black magic surrounding him in the form of a ring..
It was similar to the Sleeping Forest, but with a different energy. Perhaps with the intention of preventing escape, it surrounded the villa and was eroding from the outside in..
Both the scale and the technique were at a considerable level. Because of the distance, and because I was concentrating on the conversation with Jane, I discovered it one step too late..
It seemed like he was very determined, but I doubted whether Oliver would be able to wrest control with his pure black magic skills..
“······!”
While Oliver was aware of his surroundings in just a few seconds, the fish-man, whose arm had been crushed by being stepped on, thrust a webbed hand towards Oliver..
The thorn-like nails and scale-covered hands were no different from weapons, but they were slower than expected, and Oliver responded without difficulty using reflexes honed through previous battles..
[Hate Bullet)]
As soon as I reach out my hand, the extracted emotions are instantly processed into bullets. It flew forward faster than the speed of sound and penetrated between the fish-man's wide forehead..
wind!
Perhaps because of the moisture, there was a huge hole and a wet sound as if something had exploded..
A fish-man who falls backwards and creates ripples..
Jane breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately it was a little too early..
“It's not over yet.”
“······I think so..”
Jane, who was dominated by fear and disgust for a moment, but held on to her spirit until the end, answered as she saw dozens of human figures approaching the walkway built on the lake..
A shadow the size of a person is approaching from beneath the water, like a crocodile hunting for food in the water..
Jane, seeing this, realized that being in Oliver's arms was a hindrance, so she mustered up the courage to break away and stand next to Oliver..
It is inevitable that we need to be protected, but at least we will not be a hindrance..
Oliver, who read Jane's feelings with the eyes of a warlock, said nothing but poured out bullets of hatred towards the fish people approaching below the surface..
A bullet modified so that its power does not decrease even in water..
Boo Boo Boo Boo Book!!
As the bullets of hatred fired like machine guns fell on the water, a loud sound rang out along with dozens of water columns..
Most of the targets were pierced by hateful bullets and crumbled in the water, but some individuals sensed danger. It seemed to quickly scatter in all directions, then exposed its upper body above the water and screamed at Oliver..
Shockwave attack with physical force.
Oliver responded right away..
[Out Cry)]
In Oliver's hand, the processed emotions turned into dozens of angry faces and roared with anger towards the front..
The two shock waves collided and seemed to cancel each other out, but Oliver's Out Cry increased its power and pushed back the shock wave fired by the fish man, causing damage..
It didn't destroy the fish man, but it shook its brain and organs and temporarily paralyzed it, which was enough for Oliver to pour a bullet of hate into his head..
Wow!!!
Just as Oliver was about to raise his index finger like the muzzle of a gun and shoot, a terrible sound that sounded like a mixture of a woman's scream and the cry of a bird of prey rang out from the sky..
It was a fan-like creature with the face of a woman, the wings of an insect, and the cry of a strange bird with the body of a bird. I knew it because I had seen it once before..
He joined in after observing the situation, and the good news was that he was targeting Oliver..
‘At first, I thought they were aiming for Lady Jane, but I guess I misunderstood.?’
Meanwhile, the monster had already approached right behind Oliver. However, Oliver did not turn his body and just continued to aim at the fish people..
“minion.”
The minion in Oliver's arms jumps out and moves behind Oliver with its unique strange movements. I fired a compressed bullet of hatred towards the approaching monster..
Tsk! Tung!
A spit-like and heavy sound rang out, and one of the monster's shoulders fell off, and at the same time, a hole appeared in the foreheads of dozens of fish people that were approaching this way..
A siege attack from back and forth was suppressed with only basic black magic and technique, without much skill..
It was a neat response that could be seen as a work of art..
However, Oliver being Oliver, he did not get carried away with himself and went straight to the next task..
He grabbed Jane's waist and moved him to another safe location so that he wouldn't get in the way, then swung the quarter staff and cut off the head of the monster that was still alive..
Wow!
A strange bird that disappears like a crumble with a short sigh..
1A lot of things happened in less than a minute. It wasn't over yet.
“First of all, I have to run away from here..”
Oliver said as he looked at the fish man who did not shrink even though he killed dozens of them..
I don't know where they came from, but there were probably hundreds of fish people in the huge lake..
A considerable number of them were approaching this direction, and the rest were digging dirt on the outside of the lake to expand the area of the lake..
I don't know what he was trying to do, but it was better to run away rather than fight at this level..
Fan's battle method is a quantity war using creatures. There was no need to match it..
Perhaps Jane also understood the situation and followed Oliver's words without disagreement..
“That sounds like a good idea. First, let’s go to the villa..”
Oliver nodded and adjusted the black suit over his legs, then picked Jane up once again and lightly kicked her to the ground..
The boards that make up the walkway were shattered, and Oliver and Jane were able to move at once and escape the lake..
The fish people who lost Oliver made strange cries as if they were disappointed, but soon jumped into the lake and started digging the dirt around the lake like other fish people..
As if expanding the territory.
***
‘It's fast.’
Oliver thought to himself as he moved from the promenade above the lake to the villa where the party was taking place in just a few leaps..
What I said was fast was none other than the speed of expansion of the black magic area developed by Pan. Until now, it had only surrounded the surrounding area. I thought it would take time to completely encroach, but it had already encroached considerably..
An air that is different yet similar to that of Sleeping Beauty.,
A landscape that has suddenly become distorted.
The evidence was the various creatures that surrounded and attacked the huge villa..
“What is this all of a sudden?! where are the monsters······!!”
“Wow!! Fuck you guys!!”
“Don't let your guard down! The numbers are quite large.!!”
Security personnel brought by the villa and nobles shouted as they stopped Pan's creature..
There were quite a few people there, and their skills were considerable, so they responded better than expected..
Magic users armed with cold weapons formed a square to tie down the creature's feet, while gunners and wizards armed with heavy weapons and magic guns in the rear provided real damage through fire support..
Basic but effective tactics.
Perhaps because the people who attended the party were high-ranking people in society, the level was definitely special..
However, the opponent is also a fan who is a finger of the black hand..
Among the creatures that were doing nothing, an unusual creature appeared..
“Wow!······!”
A huge deer with branch-like antlers appeared walking on two feet through the forest around the villa..
The deer had frost all over its body and signs of decomposition. Like a frozen corpse.
In reality, the deer gave off a foul odor of rot, and did not react even when shot with a machine gun..
At that moment, the wizard's flame bullet struck the deer's body. A pillar of fire rose up and engulfed the deer..
Firepower that can turn most living organisms into ashes in an instant. However, as soon as I thought that, a snowstorm formed around the deer's body and extinguished the flames..
Then he let out a strange whistling sound and let out a breath that was a mixture of cold and disease..
Elements that act like poison in magic and black magic respectively.
The breath of those two elements mixed together creates a powerful synergy. Even the earth was coldly corrupted and attempted to cover the security forces guarding the villa..
It was then. A yellow light unique to Holy Law radiated out from within the villa, purifying the cursed breath mixed with cold and disease while simultaneously destroying the creatures..
“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Although Creature only felt minor injuries and pain as his skin burned..
It was a natural result.
Normally, Creatures, artificial life forms created through black magic, should have been destroyed, but Pan Creatures used human bodies and souls as materials, so they were somewhat resistant to holy laws..
Oliver, who had already learned from experience, was not particularly surprised..
Rather, what surprised Oliver was that the Paladins were not embarrassed..
If the Holy Law that guaranteed overwhelming superiority did not work, they would have been agitated, but the Paladins did not lose their composure. It seems like it was expected to some extent. Also, as if there is any part of me that believes in it..
Fortunately, the question was soon resolved..
A paladin came out holding a heavy Gatling machine gun in one hand..
A scene that feels like déjà vu.
When the paladin pulled the trigger, yellow bullets imbued with holy power were fired like a shower and began to turn the creatures approaching the villa into a honeycomb..
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!!
Even the fan's creatures that showed resistance to a wide range of holy techniques had holes in their bodies when the concentrated holy power and the physical power of the bullet combined..
Subsequently, the Holy Knights, who had condensed their holy power into cold weapons, drew yellow trails in the air and cut down the creatures, ending the situation in an instant..
It was clear why a paladin was a paladin..
but-
“-Is there any problem??”
Jane asked Oliver quietly..
“yes?”
“Does Dave think this looks good? I don't know anything about combat..”
Surprisingly, even though Jane was surprised to see the fish man earlier, she steeled herself with an iron will and tried to judge the situation objectively..
A natural but difficult attitude. Oliver was just impressed..
“There is one problem.”
“What is it?”
“You won't be able to fight that way for long. It's just that more power was compressed and used to increase power. Although strong, there will be physical limitations..”
“You wouldn't know that as a fan.?”
“You know it well. One of my specialties is controlling space and controlling quantity using creatures. Coincidentally, they all belong to that group now..”
“It's hard to last long... Is there any way to overcome this??”
Oliver couldn't come up with a proper answer to Jane's question..
The best way was to take control of the area and release it, but taking away control of this space, which was a mixture of creative black magic, spatial magic, and barrier magic, was not an easy task, even for Oliver..
One example is wandering in Sleeping Forest without finding the princess..
Later, he was able to take control of Sleeping Forest and meet the princess, but it was a trick that Oliver was able to take control of using his own blood, so it wasn't Oliver's pure skill..
Of course, there was another way to use that trick, but Oliver didn't feel like it..
Because the other person was none other than a fan.
It wasn't that Sleeping Beauty was less talented than Fan, but since Fan was now in contact with the devil in the New World, it was unclear what variables there might be..
Oliver, who saw with his own eyes the overwhelming power of the devil, was even more.
That's why he was reluctant to use his own blood..
By any chance, if you used blood, is it possible that a fan might use that blood? Like Grand Master Theodore of the School of Life.
There was not enough information and too many anxiety factors..
After thinking carefully, Oliver spoke honestly..
“There is one way out.”
“What is it?”
“Go to the very end of this fan-created space, create a crack in the space, and sneak out..”
“Is there an end??”
“Yes, it can distort space or senses to make it feel larger than it actually is, but there is an end. Although it may be difficult to gain full control of the space, it will be possible to create an exit hole by fighting for control at the end..”
“Oh, that's nice..”
“The problem is that not many people can escape this way..”
“······How many people??”
“Two people including me. I jump with the other person and immediately move to the end of the space..”
It was like that. The way for Oliver to move to the end of the space was to pick up one person and move quickly before the fan noticed..
Although it was difficult to take control of the space itself, based on the knowledge I learned from Sleeping Beauty and my experience in taking control, I was able to create confusion in a way that was difficult to notice..
I didn't know it was possible to hit and run so quickly with so few people..
Of course, as the number increases, the story will change..
Oliver asked after finishing his explanation..
“If you want, I will help you escape, Miss Jane..”
Jane hesitated for a moment and shook her head..
“I'd like to, but I don't want to because I still have some investments in Gallos. If I run away alone in a situation like this, difficulties in investing will arise..”
Jane told a joke that mixed bravado and sincerity..
“So can I make a shameless request??”
“Of course.”
“Could it be possible to reach the end of space if we move quickly using a means such as a car??”
“well. If you try hard, it might be possible..”
“That's a bit hopeful... So, the remaining problem is how to protect people like that from monster attacks. I'm just barely defending myself right now..”
Jane said worriedly. Even Jane, who is not a combat expert, could see that the troops were insufficient..
Well, the villa's troops were at a level that assumed warlocks or outlaws causing trouble. The number was not expected for a group of creatures of this size..
If it was a villa, it was obvious that it would be difficult to defend if attacked by creatures while moving with that number of people..
At that time, Oliver said as if he remembered something..
“······I think we can solve the lack of troops..”
As Oliver said that, he put a leather case on the back of his waist. To be exact, I saw a big mouse..
