Genius Warlock-Episode 593

593. A monster that swallows everything (8)

Oliver ripped off part of the bandage and his index finger came out..

The flesh of the index finger was completely burned away, leaving only bone..

The surface of the skin was dented and there were cracks here and there..

It looks similar to a burned tree branch..

Oliver focused his mind on the finger that didn't seem to be his, and soon a bright light began to shine through the shriveled skin..

Like when dealing with the burned man.

Like when I was provoked during my sparring with Merlin..

Oliver placed his index finger on the burning earth, recalling the memories and sensations of that time..

Pak.

With the sound of a match burning, white flames began to spread everywhere and burn everything..

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━!

As the white flame exploded and spread, a huge roar rang out, and ironically, it was so loud that no sound could be heard..

The world became completely white with silence, and Oliver looked around..

The flame created by the fan's shadow disappeared immediately, the flower petals that covered the sky were torn, and the earth was burned, but surprisingly, Neverland still maintained its shape..

It was truly bizarre.

White flame is the power of a person who has been burned, but how can he endure it?.

Of course, it was nothing compared to what the burned person used directly, but it was still incomprehensible..

To withstand a flame created by the power of the devil······.

I wondered how that was possible, no matter how many children were used as material and maintained for decades..

Is there anything in the human world that can withstand the power of the devil?.

As his thoughts reached that point, Oliver was soon able to guess the reason why Neverland maintained its shape..

whistling.

Oliver rolled his eyes left and right, and soon he noticed that the shadow had disappeared..

The shadow that ate the fan. Surprisingly, the shadow-

Giiiiiiing············!

Fused with Neverland.

The energy of the burned people felt in Neverland is proof of this..

The shadow moved quickly at the moment of the white flame, entered Neverland, and instantly merged with the children who make up Neverland..

Both actions are possible because they are creatures created by fans..

As soon as Oliver figured out the situation, Neverland began to stir as if it had been waiting..

[My, I... I am the prince... It's me... Wow, he's a prince······.]

Electric sound echoing throughout Neverland.

When the electric sound rang, the appearance of Neverland began to change..

Neverland, which had an island as its basic form, was distorted like clay, then turned into a shape like the mouth of a lamprey eel..

Countless teeth sprouted from the sucker-like cylindrical mouth..

Mucus spurts out constantly to resist white flames. Tried to eat Oliver.

Like a fan who tried to achieve his own goals by using Oliver as a nourishment..

It was a truly disgusting sight, but Oliver felt a strange sense of discomfort disappearing..

That's because Neverland, which was created using countless children as material and maintained its existence by eating countless children, was more suitable for this appearance..

But apart from that, Oliver felt a creeping sensation on the back of his neck as Neverland changed..

‘······A monster that swallows everything is born in the western sea.······.’

It suddenly turns into a huge maw..

When Oliver saw that, he was reminded of a passage from the apocalypse that was found among the books of the human meat cook..

I was truly afraid..

Obviously, to avoid that, he even asked Merlin for help, but now, as if laughing at Oliver's efforts, a monster has appeared before his eyes..

As if it could never be avoided.

‘······no.’

Oliver thought as he watched the huge maw slowly closing, overcoming the white flames..

It was still okay. Not yet. A monster had not yet emerged..

Oliver convinced himself and decided to increase his firepower by tearing off more bandages..

I didn't know if all the bandages would tear and I could get out of control, but I decided that would be better than having the verse of the apocalypse come to an end..

To Oliver and to the world.

Having made up his mind, Oliver looked down to remove the bandage and encountered an odd phenomenon..

“······.”

The identity of the strange phenomenon was a shadow..

Oliver's own shadow.

Obviously, the entire surrounding area was bleached white due to the white salt, but for some reason, Oliver's shadow maintained its shape..

Despite the overwhelming firepower that dyes the world white. Rather than disappearing, it was holding on even more clearly. As if it exists on its own.

creepy······.

Oliver, who saw his own shadow and sensed something was wrong, tried to respond, but at that moment, an eyeball that was difficult to see appeared above the dark shadow..

The eyeball and Oliver met.

Shoot ahhh!!

The shadow escapes Oliver's control and expands its size on its own..

Using its tentacle-like mouth, it began to devour the small world created using children..

***

Pan, who was eaten headfirst by the shadow, watched as he fell into the sea of ​​darkness..

My mother, who always suffered from illness but insisted that she was royalty..

The difficult and dangerous job of chimney sweeping.

The neighborhood kids who made fun of me for being the child of a crazy bitch.

A life of constant cold and hunger.

Then, after his mother died, he was tricked by adults in the neighborhood and sold to another chimney sweep..

What a terrible memory. But ironically, there, for the first time, Pan was able to meet beings who could be called friends..

Wendy, Kirby, Slightly, Nips, Twins, Tootles.

The chimney sweep who bought the fan was among the workers. Fans met them for the first time then.

they were all sick.

They all suffered from various diseases such as lung disease, which is an occupational disease of chimney sweeps, skin cancer, eye disease, and leukemia, so it would not be surprising if they died at any time..

That was the reason I bought the fan in the first place. To fill a vacancy immediately.

Of course, the fans would go crazy too. Was that why??

I was a fan who was always bullied in the neighborhood, but I was able to get along well with people who were in the same situation..

Wendy, the eldest, considered herself a mother and took care of the children.,

Clueless Kirby made people laugh with his comical appearance.,

Slightly, who pretended to be smart, proudly told the story he had picked up.,

Nips are just nibs,

The twins added energy by adding chuim whenever others spoke.,

Tootles built children's self-esteem with their cute speaking style and became a support for everyone..

It was truly a contradictory time..

It was definitely difficult and dangerous to go into a cramped and stuffy chimney to clean it. It was so much fun to get together after work and talk to each other..

It was just trivial talk about what animals you like, what you want to eat, and what you want to do..

‘I want to eat chocolate gold coins. Put it all in a treasure chest, bury it in the ground, and dig it up and eat it whenever you want..’

‘Why are you putting it in the ground??’

‘Because then it is a true treasure. Treasure is buried in the ground.’

‘I heard today that there is a tree on the west side that grows candy. The bark is bacon.’

‘really?’

‘Yeah, I heard that..’

‘Because it's the west. I want to hear that story. A story about an explorer fighting against red-skinned barbarians. Wendy doesn’t want to hear anything.?’

‘well? Mermaid, unicorn story?’

A feast of nonsense bordering on delusion. Nevertheless, fans and friends continued to talk about it..

They vaguely knew that this was a nonsense story, but they felt like they could endure it at least..

Isn’t dreaming a sin??

In this way, fans and friends shared stories while using their child's unique imagination, and eventually created an island called Neverland to escape from the difficult reality..

Chocolate gold coins are buried all over the island, candy grows on the trees, the bark of the trees is bacon, fairies, unicorns, and mermaids live, and they fight against the red men every day and win. Above all, they created their own small, intangible world without a single adult..

At first, I thought it would be nice to have a place like that, but soon I started to believe that everyone exists..

We were all children, and I think that's the only way we can endure the difficult reality..

So everyone promised.

Let's go on a trip together to find Neverland someday..

Of course, that moment never came..

The first one started with Kirby. One day, while sweeping the chimney, he got caught and died..

Next is Slightly. The smart, but skinny guy coughed one day, vomited blood, and couldn't wake up the next day..

Nibbs died in a fire accidentally set by someone while cleaning..

The twins were blinded and taken away by a chimney sweep, never to return..

Tootles died with his skin distorted in an ugly way..

Wendy is······.

‘······Ahhh!! no, I do not want! Do not! please······! Wow······!!’

······And before you know it, it's the fan's turn..

An unknown lump appeared in my testicles, and I was experiencing abdominal pain, back pain, and headaches..

Fan's body grew weaker day by day, and the bullying from the new kids became more and more severe..

One day, while lying in the corner as a living corpse, Pan suddenly remembered the nonsense his mother had told him..

‘This world is wrong. Son... Children are kidnapped and killed every day, but no one steps up. I just pretend not to know. That's why we're here. We were the royal family... This world is crazy. Full of sin! ······But don’t worry. Her mom saw it. When the time comes, the prince will appear and punish this wrong world. The prince shines brighter than anyone else!! A new era will arrive!!’

The fan responded.

‘Stop it you crazy bitch! What kind of prince is a prince!! stop talking nonsense!’

And the next day my mother died.

Talking nonsense until the end.

At the time, Fan hated his mother. She didn't even act as a mother, she just talked nonsense and died..

But fans seemed to know a little bit now. Why did her mother just talk nonsense?.

It was so unfair that I couldn't endure it unless a prince appeared to punish this resentful world..

Like the current fan.

At that time, I heard an unknown sound..

A voice I can't tell if it's a man, a woman, a child, or an old man.

It's not nonsense. I heard a voice say that your mother is truly royal and that your fan is a prince..

While his consciousness was becoming clouded, the fan asked back..

‘······really?’

[then. you are a prince.]

‘······Am I the prince my mother said I was? punish the world?’

[Ah, of course. I promise you on my name ----. you will be a prince I will become a prince who receives pure white light. Until then, I'll give you a little help..]

As soon as he finished saying those words, Pan's shadow stood up on its own and greeted him like a servant, and Pan was able to create the monster he had talked about in his conversation with his friends..

Well done!!

A sharp sound rang out and light shone on the fan in the dark sea..

The shadow that swallowed the fan tore open and came out..

It was a magic trick that was used on Jane, but funny enough, Pan also fell victim to it..

Pan, who barely escaped the inner memory, took a deep breath and looked around..

Nearby is Neverland, which has been transformed into the jaw of a lamprey, and myself, whose body is half assimilated into Neverland..

And there was a pure white flame that dyed the surroundings white, and a huge shadow that maintained its shape even in the flames..

A combination of black and white that doesn't feel realistic..

At the center of it all was a desperate Dave..

ha······. ha······.

Because of the white heat, the fan's vision became farther and farther away, so he couldn't see what Dave was doing.,

Only one thing was known: Neverland, which had turned into the mouth of a lamprey, and Dave's white flame and shadow were fighting..

The intense white flames continued to burn Neverland, which had turned into the maw of a monster, and the shadow, as if self-conscious, swung its huge tentacles in all directions and ate the weakened Neverland piece by piece..

Neverland struggled with all its might to avoid being eaten..

It was like a joke that wasn't even funny. A monster that eats monsters.

Maybe I wasn't out of the shadows yet..

‘okay······. So that kind of nonsense······.’

I thought as I looked at one place while Pan was being blinded by the white flames..

What the fans are looking at is Dave. To be exact, it was something huge behind Dave's back..

As something huge crouching in the darkness like the night sea,

Although it had the unstable appearance of a fetus, it boasted an indescribably gigantic size that even Neverland could collapse..

The sight of him crouching with his legs and arms together in a way that did not match his size gave him a childlike feel, but instead, the sight created even greater ominousness and rejection..

flinch.

Something unknown stirred..

Then he slowly raised his head..

Very slowly. very slowly.

It was a movement that didn't seem like a big deal, but fans couldn't take their eyes off the movement. Even at this moment when he was eaten by the creature, the fan's heart was pounding..

thud!

It opened its eyes and looked at itself..

thud!!

I opened my eyes and looked at myself..

thud!!!

I looked at myself as I floated..

thud!!!!

looked at myself.

thud!!!!!

I looked.

thud!!!!!!

I saw.

thud!!!!!!!

······.

A time as long as eternity and as short as a moment..

Something crouching behind Oliver's back raised its head, and Pan made eye contact with it..

Even though he was blind, Pan could feel its presence. I could tell at the same time.

As for the fan himself... Pan's mother and Pan's friends. And the children who were sacrificed at the hands of fans existed just for this moment..

That I endured that long, long period of suffering in order to become nourishment for that something..

The cruel truth made fans feel such despair that they couldn't even cry..

Just like that, I was eaten by the approaching shadow..

Kwasik!!
