Genius Warlock-Episode 566

566. around (1)

Between the Old World and the New World.

There was a small island shaped like a spade that was always foggy..

The location of the island is a top secret. Except for two people, no one knew where this island was. Not even one of them knew the specific location..

Darkness formed like dew at the tip of the secret island, and soon a huge portal in the shape of a vortex opened..

Sooooo.

With a unique, cool sound that splits space, four boys, a huge creature, and a woman caught by the creature appeared..

Black Hand's Finger Fan and his minions. And it was Jane.

‘This is····.’

Jane, who was captured by a strange-looking creature, was frozen by the sudden situation, but did not lose her mind and calmly looked around..

The air, scenery, and atmosphere were all unfamiliar. Nevertheless, Jane desperately rolled her eyes and tried to get as much information as possible..

‘It's an island. This is... A foggy island. There are only trees around... There are hanging dolls. That too a lot.’

Jane started to focus her field of vision further and narrowed it down, gathering information about her surroundings..

I could see the coastline on all sides, thick fog spreading along the coastline, various types of trees with no uniformity, and rag dolls hanging on the trees..

Even with empty words, it was not a pleasant sight..

“Leader!”

While Jane was struggling to survive, a boy shouted.

Although children are naturally prone to making noise, Jane, who grew up in the Sisterhood and recently visited several orphanages, sensed that the boy was not shouting for no reason..

And that intuition was not wrong.

“I think I left it behind.”

A boy wearing a raccoon cape spoke in a rambling tone typical of a child..

One thing is for sure, I was very embarrassed. Jane observed the boy and immediately knew what it was..

A boy wearing a raccoon cape. He was clearly a twin, but he couldn't see the other one..

I left it in the forest..

“Leader. Do you think I left it behind? I have to go pick you up now..”

The half-sized twin, wearing a raccoon cape, asked while holding the hem of Pan's clothes. Fans didn't react at all.

‘I'm not interested.’

The fan's attitude brought despair to the raccoon boy's face, and soon he began to cry..

“Boss... I have to go pick you up now.!”

The boy who lost his brother clung to the fan with his face turning red..

His appearance was so childlike that it was suspicious that he was the warlock who had just attacked them..

No, being like a child might be wrong. Because the boys in front of me right now were actually kids..

Children who learned black magic.

Jane seemed to suddenly lose consciousness. Once again, I realize that this is a crazy world..

In the end, fans responded to the raccoon boy's hanging.

“I left it behind on purpose..”

A voice too cold to be called a child rang out..

It was so cold that even the raccoon boy, who was crying as if his face was about to explode, was so shocked that he stopped crying..

the boy asked with a blank expression.

“·····why? Wow, we're twins... right? Captain's subordinate? Yeah, but why?”

A reaction that seems like they genuinely don't know. A fan explained it simply..

“I told you it was amazing, right? To a fake. A guy like that is not my guy..”

Jane couldn't understand what was being said, but the boys around her seemed to understand something..

The fat boy in the bear cape was trembling with fear and lowered his eyes, while the boy in the fox cape was blaming himself and avoiding his gaze..

Only the boy in the raccoon cloak argued with an aggrieved expression on his face..

“Well, that is... It was a mistake...? That was...a mistake. It's a mistake······!!”

However, the fans just looked on indifferently..

The half-twin clung to that fan..

“The leader's subordinate twins have to be twins, right?! But, if you don’t have them, you’re not twins, right?! therefore-”

“-So, we have to choose new twins... like you.”

“·····uh?”

The half-twin asked stupidly, and as soon as he asked, Creature, who was holding Jane, raised his huge paw and crushed the boy..

Ppujak!

There was a sound like a huge meat balloon bursting, and Jane could indirectly feel the sensation of the child bursting alive..

very. very. I felt dirty.

“Ugh, it’s messy... Hey Kirby.”

“Yes?!”

Kirby was startled and responded to the little tyrant's call..

Jane now knew why the boys were so scared..

“Go get the new twins. With the right kids this time.”

“Ah Okay. Leader····. Bo, bo, I'll pull it out!”

The boy in the bear cloak stuttered his answer and then disappeared at a speed unbecoming of his fat body..

“Slightly. You brought a fake Wendy. It's not okay anymore.”

The boy wearing a fox cloak nodded and ran to carry out the fan's orders..

So Pan and Jane were left alone..

Two people looking at each other in silence.

It was the fan who spoke first..

“Wendy... I wonder where this is?”

“yes·····. Where is it?”

Jane confronted the fan who arbitrarily called her Wendy instead of arguing with her or asking her back..

The result of the life skills I learned in Sisterhood to survive as a woman..

Fortunately, the fan seemed to like that attitude and smiled with a wrinkled face..

“oh····. I guess I’m not disgusting?”

“It's not about looks..”

Jane answered without a moment of hesitation. In fact, she didn't like people being discriminated against based on their appearance..

“It's really bad..”

“Ha ha! That's cool! ····okay! Wendy has to be at this level! Not like that..”

The fan pointed to a girl who was being dragged this way by the hands of children..

She was a pretty girl, younger than Jane, with honey-colored hair and a sky-blue dress..

“Now, wait a minute, where are you going? Please tell me something. We had a good time, right? huh? Hey guys?”

Even though that beautiful appearance has faded due to fatigue, fear, and stress..

The girl who was forcibly dragged out by the children soon found a fan..

“Pan?”

“hi. Wendy.”

The fan greeted the girl with a smile on his wrinkled face, and upon seeing that face, the girl distorted her face in disgust for a moment..

It wasn't strange. The current fan's face was filled with a heterogeneous expression of discomfort, like a combination of a child and an old person. It may be rude, but it was natural behavior..

Of course, fans had no intention of considering that fact..

“Ah mistake. I'll do it again... Because you are a fake Wendy. Hello, Fake Wendy.”

Fake Wendy. As if it were some kind of promised word, the girl was startled by the word and began to ejaculate urgently..

“Now, wait a minute. Pan! Don't do this! I will do better! I can do better than that woman! therefore-”

“-Bye Bye.”

The fan waved his hand and greeted the girl arrogantly. At the same time, a bag of sacks came down from the grotesquely twisted tree and swallowed the girl in one go..

The huge sack instantly swallowed the girl and stuck to her body, turning her into a rag doll-like figure. Then a rope came down from the tree, wrapped around the girl's neck and yanked her..

Pang!

With the sound of the rope being pulled taut, the girl's legs floated in the air, and in the forest, another doll was hanging from a tree..

“Wendy. From now on, you take care of the kids... like that mom.”

“Yes, I do..”

Jane, who roughly figured out what Wendy was, answered. She is Wendy and can change at any time, but at the same time she seems to be something that must be there..

It was fortunate. It wasn't immediately dangerous..

A fan let out a unique laugh at Jane's cool attitude..

“Giggle, giggle, giggle! Are you really funny? Well, Wendy is fun... Or, are you looking forward to it? That fake one will come to save you?”

Jane responded as if she was used to self-centered conversations without consideration for the other person..

“······well?”

“In that case, it would be better to give up quickly. I'm going to eat him up as soon as he gets here..”

“Do not worry. 'Cause I'm not worried about that.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

As Jane answered, she remembered the last time she saw Oliver. He looked like he was going to explode at any moment..

***

In the still dusty mess, Oliver stood still like a broken toy doll..

The reason was because Jane was kidnapped right before our eyes..

his second friend.

Oliver experienced an unfamiliar yet familiar feeling..

That feeling is none other than helplessness. I felt helpless, unable to do anything..

A feeling that is very familiar to Oliver, who grew up in an orphanage and a mine, but also very unfamiliar to Oliver now that he has become a warlock..

Oliver didn't know how to react to those conflicting feelings..

Dozens of thoughts came to mind at once..

Where did Jane go, why did they take Jane, was they targeting Jane from the beginning, what is the purpose, is Jane safe, and why did this happen?.

I couldn't find a proper answer to anything, but then a boy in a raccoon cloak, left alone in front of me, caught my eye..

It was because of those boys..

Those boys stopped Oliver in his tracks and ultimately led to a situation like this..

If he had continued to move on the wolf-creature, Jane would not have been taken away..

As his thoughts reached this point, Oliver felt an indescribable emotion..

This feeling was the same as the ones in the past.

Like when he confessed at Martel and when he faced Cant, whose arm was cut off by Sheamus' men..

Helplessness. And the anger that comes from that feeling of helplessness.

“Hee, hee hee!”

When Oliver came to his senses at the sound of a frightened voice, there was a boy in front of him..

Oliver approached the boy without realizing it..

The boy who had just been crying and calling for Pan without understanding what had happened was now crying out in fear for Oliver and looking for Pan..

“Leader····.”

The boy sat down with his legs weakened..

“Leader····?”

The boy sat down and crawled backwards..

Oliver took a step forward..

“Leader····! Leader! ····When the time comes!!”

The boy sat down and cried out for a fan and continued to crawl backwards, while Oliver approached the boy step by step..

So Oliver and the boy played the world's slowest game of tag, and before we knew it, the boy was cornered by a tree..

There was no longer any place to retreat..

When the boy found out, his whole body broke into a cold sweat, tears and snot poured out..

Meanwhile, the distance between Oliver and the boy grew closer, and eventually Oliver stopped right in front of the boy..

Oliver, whose head was dominated by indescribable emotions, slowly stretched out his hand towards the boy, and the boy looked at Oliver with wide eyes..

At that moment, Oliver could see himself reflected in the boy's eyes..

Mysteriously, the feeling was similar to that of the orphanage director and the mine supervisor..

The beings that Oliver feared the most.

Oliver paused at this unknown harmony, and various past conversations echoed in his head..

‘I like that kind of personality you have. So, please don’t let things like this lead you to revenge, anger, or hatred. Those feelings... It's very addictive. I hope you don't do that.’

‘You are my... No, because he's our hero..’

‘Well then, I will believe it. No matter what happens, I will believe in you, support you, and help you..’

‘I learned it from Dave... So, I hope you don't look the same as before at the party..’

Conversation with Cant, Joe, Joanna, and Jane. The horse that caught Oliver every time he tried to cross the line or faltered..

When those words came to mind, Oliver could barely pull his hand away from touching the boy..

It was truly fortunate. It means that Oliver can control himself alone. Still·····.

“-There's no use taking out your anger on that kid..”

Armand spoke to Oliver.

As if his unquenchable desire had found an outlet, Oliver quickly turned his head, and the two Holy Knights who were guarding Armand's side were startled..

understood. The director of the orphanage where Oliver lived and the mine supervisor were scary people..

However, Armand did not show any emotion, perhaps because he was scared, and even bit the paladins guarding both sides of him..

“help other people.”

“However, Your Majesty)·····.”

“Because it's okay. hurry.”

A gentle but firm tone. At Armand's will, the two paladins saluted and retreated..

Oliver looked at the scene impassively and asked.

“·····It's no use?”

“Literally. It's the shooter's fault, what's wrong with the bullet??”

“A bullet?”

Oliver understood what he meant, but he still asked. to somehow get around it.

“Yes, bullets. Does that little boy look more than that in your eyes??”

Oliver couldn't say anything. I don't know why, but I saw with my own eyes what the fan abandoned..

The boy was nothing more or less than expendable material to the fans..

widely. widely. widely.

Oliver stepped in front of Armand, leaning on the floor with his quarter staff as if possessed by something..

Every time the quarter staff touched the ground, the air felt heavier, but Armand showed no reaction..

“·····How do you know so well??”

“Because he's a paladin. I know that much. Anyway, Miss Jane will be fine for now..”

Sincerity.

“····thank you for telling me. But didn’t you say you would protect Jane??”

“I'm sorry about that.”

Sincerity.

“But you couldn't keep it... Didn't you say you would attach the Holy Knights??”

“I thought I had good eyesight, but I guess I didn't..”

In response to Oliver's questioning, Armand said that and turned his head back..

Oliver reflexively followed the gaze and could see five corpses with wounds that looked like they had been stabbed with a dagger..

He was a paladin who mainly protected Jane..

“No, that's not it... look wider.”

Armand's penetrating words reflexively widened Oliver's perspective, and soon he saw the nobleman and his bodyguard screaming after losing their husband, friend, and colleague. I could see a paladin treating them..

“I feel sorry for you, and I understand that you are sad, but... You are not the only one who is sad here now.”
