Genius Warlock-Episode 577
577. captain hook (1)
“Holy shit-!”
A huge basement in Vienna City. The fighting arena temporarily installed there, Solitude (蠱毒)).
Big Mouth, who was in that solitude, responded to Oliver's cheering with a curse..
The voice was so loud that the entire basement rang. Everyone in the stands who saw this was shocked..
“Ugh fuck you. A glutton speaks human language?”
“Crazy, this is my first time seeing you······.”
“Who would have thought what the mayor said was true?.”
“What are you doing?! Write it down, you idiots.!”
“Yes, Master!”
Most of the people in the stands were members of the Warlock Guild, and they showed deep interest in Big Mouth, who spoke human language, and began observing and recording..
‘They say it's a city of warlocks, and there are definitely a lot of them. What's more impressive than the numbers is the atmosphere..’
Oliver thought as he looked at the warlocks in the stands..
As expected from a warlock, the union seemed to be thoroughly stratified, but it had a different feel from that of a family..
Like a family, a superior passes on chores such as records to subordinates while also giving advice. This was because they maintained a relationship like that of master and apprentice..
This was very impressive. The warlock organizations keep each other in check. I felt like there was something to see and learn..
‘Those guys are impressive too.’
Oliver's eyes scanned the stands and stopped at one point..
There were a few pirates and smugglers from Vienna City..
Jack said that they were all influential people in Vienna City, and as expected of people who worked in the shadows, they were all quite superhuman..
“Who do you think will win??”
“I'm serious? It's 10 to 1, right? This settles the bet?”
“Ugh, that sounds stupid. Doesn’t that prove that 1 is strong? I'll bet on that glutton named Big Mouse..”
“But why on earth are you doing this? I came because I thought it would be fun, but.”
“I don't know. Isn't this a new business? like gambling?”
“What kind of ritual did I hear? Black magic item strengthening ritual.”
Unlike the warlocks who came here to gain knowledge, they came here for fun..
‘Of course, I don't think it's all for fun..’
Oliver thought as he saw several pirates and smugglers looking at him..
They looked at Oliver from time to time, doubting and guessing about his intentions..
They are concerned that Oliver will change the power structure of Vienna City..
Oliver just came to run errands... Just when I was wondering if I should explain, Big Mouth's cries echoed loudly..
“Kururururuk!!”
Big Mouth, who shouted that he was sure to win, ran with his heavy body and jumped. I threw a Superman punch at the top glutton bag 1..
“kuru?!”
The sudden surprise attack dented the face of Glutton Pouch 1, which had been strengthened through predation on its own kind..
Glutton bag 1, unable to even scream properly due to the intense shock. Gluttons number 2 to 10 are surprised to see such gluttons..
Big Mouth did not lose his momentum, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he used a side kick that he had learned from Dungeon-Duncan (Child-Force) and kicked away Glutton Bag 2 next to him..
“Wow?!”
The power of the side kick was truly amazing, going deep into Glutton Bag 2's stomach and sending him flying backwards..
The power comes from short limbs, so it's unbelievable..
At that time, Gluttonous Bag 3 tried to attack Big Mouth..
This was evidence that these gluttons were also strengthened by cannibalism..
However, Big Mouth is a glutton who has been strengthened through much harsher and more vicious cannibalism. He counterattacked by dodging and attacking with a backspin elbow..
“slurp!!”
“Okay?!”
The sound of hitting a leather skin bottle filled with water and the exclamation of people rang out..
“Oh oh-!!”
I was that surprised by Big Mouth's fighting skills..
Well, the black magic item called the Glutton Pouch was not for combat, and the appearance of the Glutton Pouch, which looked like it had arms and legs attached to a huge leather bag, was also not suitable for battle..
Nevertheless, Big Mouth showed brilliant skills and performed well even in an absolutely unfavorable situation of 10 to 1..
I hit the flying fist aside and countered it..
“kurerereek!!”
“Wow-!”
Reversely uses the strength of the opponent who is trying to entangle you and throws you to the ground.,
“Guruk!”
“Kkong!!”
The moment it seemed like we were going to be surrounded, I took steps and increased the distance..
“Kueh! Kueh! Kuek!”
“Get your crazy fists out?”
“Use crazy grappling??”
“Take crazy steps?”
The warlocks, who had initially reacted negatively to the idea of having gluttons fight each other, were astonished at the sight of Big Mouth as if it had never happened before, and continued to record the fight..
“That's good.”
Someone came up next to Oliver. It was Jack, the mayor of Vienna City..
“In the name of mayor, they forcibly created gluttons and forced them to eat their own kind... If you thank me for this much, I would appreciate it, I won't be dissatisfied..”
It was like that. Oliver's plan to strengthen black magic items through fratricide and subdue gluttons with Big Mouth to make them new workers in Vienna City was not accepted by the black magic craftsmen here..
The reason is because it was a very absurd and dangerous method..
However, Mayor Jack of Vienna City accepted that opinion and forcibly mobilized warlocks to do the work..
If we could operate Glutton Pouches with Big Mouth-level transportation capabilities as a unit, we could secure food more easily..
Therefore, the warlocks complied even though they were dissatisfied..
“If the results had been unfavorable, the dissatisfaction would have been entirely focused on me, but seeing that reaction, I would be thankful... thank you.”
“Don't worry, I followed the deal..”
“······By the way, can a glutton sac use fighting skills if it eats a glutton sac??”
Jack asked as he watched Big Mouse's dazzling movements..
Big Mouth was subduing his opponents one by one with his flashy moves (for a glutton)..
Isolate him by kicking his legs to control his mobility.,
In check with a jab,
Deliver the final blow with a flying cross line,
It ended with a Military Press Slam..
Thanks to his incredible skill, nearly half of the gluttons who had just finished feasting on their own kind were defeated..
Oliver answered Jack's question..
“No, that won't be it. Big Mouth also learned fighting skills..”
“like······. Who did you learn it from??”
“This is a creature I created called Child. It would be a bit long to explain, but the point is that Child taught it to Big Mouth. Including fighting skills and shooting skills..”
Oliver remembered the sight of the Childs who stayed with Big Mouth. A close-knit look, like comrades who went through hardships together. The way they criticized Oliver with one voice..
“Can a glutton learn something like that??”
“well? I'm doing well too... If I had to guess, I would say that intelligence increased during the reinforcement process and thus learning ability also increased. It would be better to hear the opinion of an expert like Lee Wan... Is Lee Wan still in custody??”
As Oliver said, Ewan was currently captured. In the past, he fell into the hands of the disciples he sold out..
Through Jack's desperate mediation, Iwan's disciples agreed to forgive their teacher, but in return, they demanded that they provide some of their labor and knowledge to the Warlock Artisan Guild, and Ewan still provides labor and knowledge. was doing.
‘개새끼야!’
Iwan, who was grabbed by Oliver's hand and dragged away without being able to escape, shouted that.
“Yes, they were uncooperative at first, but through persuasion, they are now cooperating well. There are many pirates who are experts in that field.”
“thank god.”
Oliver answered like that, but wondered how he persuaded him. As I was debating whether to ask or not, Jack suddenly said to Oliver..
“Oh, and I called Mr. Hook..”
“yes?”
“Originally, I had decided to call him after this incident, but he paid compensation and actively cooperated with the city in finding safety, so I called Mr. Hook three days ago. It's probably coming by now.”
“ah······. thank you.”
Oliver said sincerely..
I didn't want to rush because I needed to prepare, but that didn't mean I wasn't in a hurry. But, Jack scratched Oliver's itch before he could say anything..
“If you build up your credit, you can also trade bills... It will probably be another three or four days before Mr. Hook arrives, but he has something to tell you before then..”
“What is it?”
“He is also a very talented warlock, and as talented as he is, he is also a difficult person..”
“······.”
“I'm not ignoring Dave's skills. However, in a fight, you can't always say who wins, right? Because it is influenced by the situation and environment..”
“I agree.”
Oliver nodded. No matter how superhuman he was, he was not immune to the influence of his environment. Sometimes it could have been worse.
For example, it is no exaggeration to say that the reason Oliver was able to fight Theodore in Lake Village was because of the lake containing a large amount of magical power..
If magic power had not been supplied from the lake, it would have been difficult to overcome the difference in power..
“Most likely, Mr. Hook will not readily help Mr. Dave. He has a difficult personality and will try to ignore, provoke and test you..”
“If it's a test······?”
“Are you testing your skills yourself? At this time, there is something to keep in mind. Mr. Hook's fighting style is quite unique. It might be okay on land, but-”
-Oooh!!
A shout that erupted in the middle. The shouting drowned out Jack's words..
Jack and Oliver looked into the solitude without realizing it due to the sudden commotion..
Surprisingly, the Big Mouth, which had been overwhelming the gluttons until just now despite being outnumbered, was in a pinch..
“Kuuuuuu······!”
The reason was none other than one of the gluttons throwing sand into Big Mouth's eyes..
A truly cowardly yet cunning method. That's why the warlocks were so impressed and furiously recorded this..
This kind of cowardice and cunning can only be used if you have high intelligence..
“Aaaah! After all, cannibalism not only increases performance but also intelligence?! Eureka!!”
“Ahhh-! beautiful!!”
The warlocks who achieved their intellectual desires recorded the fact with great commotion..
But regardless of the state of the stands, Big Mouth was in crisis..
Literally, not an exaggeration or a joke.
That was because the flow of battle led by Big Mouth boiled over and the gluttons surrounded Big Mouth..
The reason Big Mouth has led the fight so far is because he avoided encirclement with agile movements and took the lead in attacking..
However, the flow was cut off due to dirt that got into the eyes, and they were even surrounded..
Now all that was left was obvious..
“Kuehhh!!”
“slurp!!”
“Sigh!!”
“Sigh! Hold! Sigh!”
Merciless group assault based on numerical superiority.
Big Mouth tried to escape by crawling on the ground like he did when he first fought a glutton that was bigger than him..
Because of the glutton's rough appearance, it was unable to block the punches and kicks coming from all directions..
However, the gluttons seem to know this as well, so whenever Big Mouth tried to run away, they grabbed his feet and pulled him back..
In the end, all Big Mouth can do is crouch down and minimize damage..
Big Mouth, who was on the defensive, cried out, just like when he first fought. 'Gurrrrr...' There was nothing I could do but cry..
The difference is that unlike back then, now there is no child to throw the sawed-off shotgun..
As if they had already decided that the winner or loser would be decided, those who participated in the bet began to split the money, and the warlocks also tried to close the record..
Oliver was also very disappointed and sad..
Doesn’t that mean I need to get a new Big Mouth??
At that moment, Big Mouth and Oliver's eyes met, and when Big Mouth saw the sad Oliver, he expressed his strong desire to survive and anger, and put his hands together and shouted..
[Hate Bullet)]
Big Mouth used black magic..
***
“Thank you for your effort big mouth.”
Oliver spoke to Big Mouth with all his heart..
Surprisingly, even though it was a black magic item, Big Mouth used his emotions to cast black magic and instantly turned the extremely unfavorable situation around..
Although it was crude compared to the black magic used by the warlock, it was enough to pierce the body of the glutton and put it in a dying state..
With that one blow, all the fighting spirit of the gluttons who surrounded and cornered him was broken..
Oliver was truly impressed by that fact and praised Big Mouth..
Big Mouth only glowed with disdain through the many eyes on his body..
“······.”
As I watched in silence, I felt the contempt even more..
“Fortunately, it is treatable..”
Jack, who came down to the random fighting arena's solitude, pointed to Glutton Bag 7, who had been affected by Big Mouth's black magic..
Glutton Bag 7, which had been unluckily affected by Big Mouse's black magic, was receiving emergency repairs by black magic craftsmen..
“They say it can be repaired without any loss of functionality. I think you just need to finish it now..”
Jack pointed to the gluttons kneeling on one side..
The gluttons lost their will to fight after seeing Big Mouth use black magic, and they all knelt down as a sign of submission to Big Mouse..
All Big Mouth had to do was tell him to work hard as a worker in Vienna City..
I didn't know the exact reason, but when there was a fight between gluttons and one side lost, they obeyed to the point where they couldn't resist even while being eaten..
Probably, if Big Mouth gave an order, the gluttons would follow faithfully..
Oliver remembered that fact and asked Big Mouth for a favor..
“Big Mouth. Could you please help me??”
“······.”
Big Mouth remained silent, showing his disdain for Oliver. He seemed very angry..
Oliver suggested..
“I'll give you one of the gold bars you swallowed..”
One heavy gold ingot. A large amount of money that cannot be compared to a bundle of money..
But it wasn't easy this time. Big Mouth doesn’t budge despite the huge price.-
“-I'll give you two.”
“Sigh!!”
Big Mouth stood up, showing his agreement, went in front of the kneeling Gluttons and the Gluttons who were being treated, and began his speech..
“Sigh! Gurgling! Kuru. Cough! Hold! Gurgling rumbling!”
“Big Mouth says he will show special mercy and not eat him, so he tells Mr. Jack to cooperate..”
“That's what that toad-like cry means.?”
Jack was truly impressed by Oliver's interpretation. There was no one even in Vienna City who understood what the glutton said, so it was natural..
“Repair completed.”
While Jack and Oliver were talking, a maester from the Warlock Artisan Guild approached and reported on the results of the repair..
Jack said thank you for your hard work and said it was okay to go, but instead of leaving, the Maester spoke to Oliver..
“What a great glutton. Mr. Dave.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“No, no. This isn't just lip service, it's sincere. The way he fights and the way he speaks now is at an amazing level. Intelligence and self-consciousness are so high... But the use of black magic is more than surprising.”
The warlock craftsman expressed pure admiration and interest, while at the same time showing an underlying greed to possess this technology..
“As expected, Landa’s giant! ······If you don’t mind, could you give us the opportunity to visit our union and broaden your horizons for a while??”
A warlock craftsman who pushes straight ahead..
However, it wasn't just that.
Other members of the Warlock Guild also showed interest in Oliver and approached him, and some of the pirates and smugglers also approached Oliver and attempted to contact him..
“Hello. I am······.”
“I also have a deep connection to Landa.······.”
“merchant······.”
“Our union is······.”
Big Mouth's match must have been impressive, with people coming from all directions..
Jack tried to stop them instead of Oliver by citing the dangers of the market, but everyone ignored the market. The commotion became increasingly deeper. At that moment, a young man ran from the basement entrance and shouted..
He was a messenger who delivered news to Vienna City..
“Captain Hook is back! Now his ship has appeared in the harbor!!”
