Genius Warlock-Episode 565
565. escape (4)
At Oliver's call, the Childs - Second and Fourth - who were in his arms came out..
At the same time, the corpse dolls - Duncan and Durance, who had been reduced in size using miniaturization magic - also jumped out of Oliver's arms according to the preset magic..
Coincidentally, both are traitors who betrayed their original organization..
However, ironically, now that he has become a corpse doll, Oliver's expectations have not been betrayed..
“Phew·········.”
“Hueup····!”
For a split second, Oliver was able to see.
When the miniaturization magic was released, the corpse dolls - Duncan and Durance - returned to their original form..
Child-Second and Force entered their corpse dolls, Durance and Duncan, respectively, and as soon as they entered, they inhaled and exhaled and moved..
The first to move was the Second, who entered the corpse doll-Durance..
A beautiful female corpse doll in her early thirties uses magic like a wizard. He manipulated the ground he was stepping on to create a huge stone pillar and climbed on top of it to occupy the high ground..
Then, using his unique specialty, body manipulation, he sprouted two new arms from each shoulder..
Crump patter!!
The horrifying sound of bones and flesh being reassembled rang out, and the arm began to change into the shape of a gun..
Six firearms created in an instant.
Blue magic vapor spewed out from tiny holes in Durance's body, and the muzzles on each arm began to emit blue flames..
A violent noise filled the air as if dozens of machine gunners were simultaneously pulling their triggers..
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 doo!!!
Every time fire was fired from the muzzle, the air shook from the impact, and bullets made of flesh flew through the air, leaving large gunshot wounds on creatures coming from all directions..
Huge holes appeared in most of the creatures' bodies, accompanied by the wet sound of flesh bursting and crushing..
The size of the hole was so large that not only did the four limbs fall out, but there was also a creature whose upper and lower bodies separated and whose head exploded completely..
This firepower was possible because he was taught the knowledge of a human meat chef by the dean of Loculi College, and was even transplanted with the flesh of Theodore, the Grand Master of the School of Life..
When the auxiliary dolls joined in, most of the creatures were swept away like dust, and Duncan took charge of the few creatures that barely survived the shooting..
Duncan, who had received the most of Theodore's flesh, delicately gathered a large amount of magical power into both legs and kicked the ground..
Tongue!!
As he hit the ground, a tornado spread and Duncan's appearance disappeared as if erased, and he only appeared moment by moment in front of the creatures that withstood the shooting and shelling, swinging his tonfa..
Every time the flesh tonfa that Lee Wan created cut through the air, an indescribable roar rang out.,
Every time there was a loud noise, the creature was literally torn apart and disappeared like smoke..
When two corpse dolls were added, hundreds of creatures disappeared..
The nobles, holy knights, and bodyguards who saw this, as well as the boys wearing animal cloaks, were astonished..
I thought it would hold me back, but the situation immediately turned around..
Oliver, who decided that the situation was resolved, left the shocked boys alone and was about to go on his way again, when a fat boy wearing a bear cape started yelling at him..
“Hey, don’t be scared!! Fans are the real princes!!”
As expected, he seemed to be a subordinate of the fan..
It's really brave of you to say something like this after seeing hundreds of creatures disappear in an instant.-
‘-Didn't you do it??’
thought Oliver, seeing through the boys' emotions..
It was right to be brave to keep your fighting spirit burning even after seeing hundreds of creatures defeated, but the boy in front of you was different..
Rather than overcoming my fear, I was being pushed around by a bigger fear..
Instead of entering a cage with a lion, it is similar to entering a cage with a fighting dog..
All these boys were afraid of their fans.
“Ahhhhh!!”
The boy wearing the bear cape once again used black magic on his club and swung it towards Oliver, and the boys wearing the fox and raccoon capes also aimed their blowguns and stick guns again..
Although it looked like a toy at first glance, it was a threatening weapon that could kill even a wolf-creature in an instant..
Oliver just looked at that figure for a moment. As if he was wondering what to do.
“die!!”
“die!”
“die!”
The boy in the fox and raccoon cloak shouted, shooting a wooden gun and a blowgun respectively..
Everyone was sincere. What was interesting was that, unlike ordinary people, their malice was light. Should we say it was a murder with little intent? Even to Oliver, it seemed somewhat bizarre..
[Black Shield)]
Just before the bullet containing the deadly disease reached him, Oliver created a black curtain to defend himself..
Fortunately, there didn't seem to be enough force to pierce the curtain, but then the boy in the bear cloak hit the shield with his club..
“die!!”
bang!
The shield was shattered by the boy's swing..
The boy in the bear cloak raised his club to hit Oliver again, and Oliver did not miss the opportunity and sent the shattered shield fragments flying at the boys..
pababababat!!
The boys flinched at the sharp shield fragments that entered the gap between attacks..
“·······.”
Just as the shield fragment was about to rip into the boys' delicate flesh, Oliver manipulated the shield fragment into a shape that wrapped around the boys' bodies like wax and restrained them..
Thanks to this, the boys were left in a position where they could not move, but they were able to avoid having their bodies torn apart..
“·····?!”
“········?”
“what?”
“what?”
The boys tied to the shield each looked dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened..
At this moment, they were just boys you could see anywhere..
“·······.”
After looking at the boys for just a moment, Oliver immediately created a new wolf-creature and climbed on it with the corpse dolls-Duncan and Durance..
“swimming·····. I'm not killing you?”
As Oliver was about to move, he heard a familiar, yet different voice..
“fan?”
Oliver turned his head towards the direction from which the sound was heard..
There, a boy was sitting leisurely on a tree... Although it felt a bit awkward to call him a boy now..
“······It's been a while.”
Oliver greeted me, barely swallowing the words he wanted to ask, 'Your appearance has changed a bit?'.
Because the face of the fan had really changed..
It wasn't so much that he changed so much that he looked like a completely different person, but there was a subtle yet noticeable change in the fan's appearance..
Some examples include pale orange hair, skin that has lost elasticity and has wrinkles, a voice that seems to have gone through a transformation, and an atmosphere that has changed somewhere..
But the biggest change was in the eyes. The clear, playful eyes of the fan, who were always full of confidence, became clouded with jealousy and obsession, as if they were covered in dirt..
It wasn't that strange considering what I had experienced in the New World, but it was still so strange and such a big change that I was a little surprised..
“····I'm weak as expected.”
“yes?”
“He said he was weak. It was the same there, and it is the same now... You are too weak to kill even a child. If it were me, I would have killed him long ago. Is there some special reason??”
Only then did I understand what the fan was saying..
In that case, we are probably talking about the New World. At that time, Oliver was a boy who was one of Pan's subordinates. No, he helped a boy who couldn't even be called a boy..
From the paladin's ax that was trying to split his head.
Although it was an unconscious action I did without my knowledge. Oliver blocked a paladin's attack once..
Strangely enough, the fan asked the question in an accusatory manner, pointing out that what happened then and now the fact that Oliver did not kill the other boy..
Oliver questioned the incomprehensible attitude..
“hmm·····. Those people. Aren’t they Pan’s subordinates??”
“I asked why they didn't kill me.”
The fan questioned. At that question, Oliver turned his gaze to the back and looked at the group..
The arrogant nobles were frightened by the sudden appearance of a fan, and the tension among the knights and bodyguards was also at its peak..
Well, the opponent was a fan who randomly mobilized hundreds of creatures..
Armand was the only one who looked at this situation with interest..
‘How to do it······.’
Oliver wondered how to respond. I wanted to talk to the fan, but it took a lot of attention, so it was risky to just ignore him and move on without talking to him..
Given the unstable emotional state of the fan right now, there was no way to predict what would happen..
After much thought, Oliver decided to agree to the conversation..
“well. There is no particular reason... aren't you all young...?”
Oliver said something so obvious. I ended up settling in Randa as a problem solver, but I still wanted to protect the good. Isn't it a bit much to kill a child??
The fan laughed after hearing the answer. Even though it was only superficial.
“Giggling...! I'm serious?”
“Probably... You can tell by looking at it, right??”
Oliver said, read your feelings through the eyes of a warlock. The fan strained his eyes, and then his resentment began to shine. I guess I didn't read it..
Nevertheless, he lied and pretended to read it..
“That's really nice... I should at least give you a reward?”
“No, no. Thank you for your words, but this is excessive praise. I'm not particularly nice and I don't do anything to deserve awards..”
Although he was in an urgent situation, Oliver spoke sincerely without realizing it..
He had too many problems to be called good..
Even if someone died of starvation, he ate alone without sharing the soup, and learned black magic. Although murder was inevitable, Oliver was aware that his actions were full of selfishness..
For the sake of convenience, he took his first steps into society as a troubleshooter, and did not hesitate to commit murder if necessary. People who came to the afterlife anyway. Because they are people who sacrifice their lives.
Besides that, Oliver was aware of his numerous flaws..
‘For example, he uses emotional violence to terrify the good families living underground..’
Is Oliver like that kind? It was extremely uncomfortable, just like the word special..
“And there is no direction or goal..”
The fan who observed Oliver's answer and attitude muttered again as if criticizing him..
“What do you mean by that??”
“You don't have the desires that a warlock should have. That's the most basic thing.”
Oliver couldn't refute. There is nothing without desire, but the study of black magic was one in which desire played the largest role..
such as wealth, power, or personal desires..
The representatives were Joseph, who honed his black magic skills after seeing the splendor of the hotel, Marie, who became Joseph's disciple to gain strength, and Joe, who joined the fighter crew to survive in Area X..
“But you don't have that. There is nothing.”
“······The study of black magic was beautiful and fascinating..”
“That's a really funny answer. I'm talking about my goals, and you reply that you're pretty and amazing. The goal is to be pretty and amazing?”
“Isn't that okay??”
“Of course not! That's a sentiment! I mean, it's a goal. It's so earnest and desperate! Wanting to live like a human being, wanting to become a better being... I can't act like I'm looking at a pretty flower like you... That's not fair?”
Oliver said nothing..
There was definitely something about Oliver that lacked that kind of earnestness..
Then the fan reacted.
“ah! You agree with what I said, right! It makes sense now...! It's right for those who are desperate to have it, right? A person with a firm direction, will, and earnestness is better than a person without direction, will, and earnestness.······!!”
Once the flow of the conversation, which had been continuing without context, became somewhat clear, Oliver began to understand roughly what the fan was trying to say..
Oliver looked back at the group behind him and opened his mouth..
“·····I think I understand roughly what you want to say. I don't care what your goals are. so-”
-Clap la la la larang!!
Darkness formed in the air, and a chain with a hook flew out of it..
Oliver used his reflexes to block the chain with a quarter staff..
It was a chain I had only seen once in the New World..
With chains made from Pan's shadow creatures, darkness, and human souls, Pan attempted to use these chains to subdue the Burned One..
Although it failed due to the overwhelming power of the Burned One, it carried out propaganda in its own way by piercing his body and trapping him until he resisted..
It may not seem like a big deal, but Oliver, who had seen firsthand the power of the Burned One to burn and kill people with just his breath, could not ignore these chains..
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu······!
As evidence, the pressure of the chain blocked by the quarter staff was considerable..
Even by Oliver's standards, he gained superhuman strength by eating flesh from the palm of a human flesh cook..
“I have good strength?”
“I'm resting these days, but I did some exercise..”
“Oh, then let's see how hard you worked out.!!”
As the fan shouted, the darkness that had formed like dew in the air spread like ink and completely covered the surroundings..
Like a prison made of darkness.
Numerous torture devices, including giant spikes, skewers, spiked collars, iron maidens, and chains with hooks, were about to emerge from the prison, but then Oliver awakened the shadows and made them eat away at the veil of darkness..
The shadow that woke up consumed the veil of darkness spread by Pan in an instant, and tried to attack Pan with momentum, but when Oliver saw Pan's face, he stopped for a moment..
Although the attack ended in vain, the fans reacted as if they had expected it rather than being embarrassed..
As if this was expected to some extent..
Then, the fan's eyes turned somewhere, and Oliver moved his eyes in that direction without even realizing it..
At that moment Oliver could see.
The fish creature seen in the lake near the villa.
Surprisingly, the creatures broke the ground like moles and brought the water from the lake here..
I wondered if this was possible, but those doubts were soon put to rest by the hand of a huge reptile rising from beneath the huge lake..
Even the giants feel small, the gigantic size that covers even the sky and creates artificial darkness, and the slightly felt energy of the burned one..
Oliver instinctively knew that it was the sea monster that had recently appeared in the newspaper..
“Leviathan. Slap it away.”
***
Bleep.·········!!
Cloudy dust fluttered everywhere, the sky and earth reversed, the ground shook, and an unknown ringing sound filled Oliver's ears..
I couldn't figure out what was what..
What I remember is a huge lake that formed when the ground collapsed, and a huge reptile's hand that appeared from underneath the lake. And it was only the fan's voice commanding that hand..
Strike it out.
Surprisingly, the disaster-like arm, which is bigger than a giant and completely blocks the sky, responds to the fan's voice..
He flinched, then moved forcefully as if he was being controlled by someone and struck the ground where Oliver and his group were..
It was a slow and inaccurate attack, but the huge arm with its scales that looked like hundreds of layers of iron armor was enough to call it a disaster..
The evidence was the cavernous ground that looked as if it had been dug with an excavator, the countless people who collapsed bleeding, the Holy Knight who treated them, and the corpse dolls that were shattered like Oliver while trying to block the hands of reptiles..
‘Duncan threw a giant fist, Durance fired a cannon, and the auxiliary dolls fired artillery..’
Looking at the shattered corpse doll, Oliver remembered what he had done before the reptilian hand struck him..
I made the corpse dolls use their strongest attack, and Oliver also desperately blocked the reptile's hand with Shadow-Creature..
It was simply ignored due to its overwhelming size and the power imbued with the energy of the Burned One..
Even if there wasn't enough time to react, it was enormous, but when that memory came back, two questions arose..
The first was why they didn't attack even though this was the perfect situation to attack, and the second was where Jane had gone..
“It's here!”
The winner's voice was heard.
When Oliver turned his head, he saw Jane being held in Creature's vicious hands, and the boys wearing fan, bear, fox, and raccoon capes standing next to Jane..
While Oliver failed to stop the reptile's giant hand, he kidnapped Jane..
Oliver's eyes widened slightly and his pupils shrank at the sight he had never imagined..
Eyes that seem neither human nor animal.
The boys were scared at that sight, but the fan smiled..
As if I was very, very satisfied..
“Now you too be desperate.”
Before Oliver could say anything, Pan opened a portal using darkness and disappeared before Oliver's eyes, leaving only the boy wearing the raccoon cape..
Oliver looked at him blankly..
