Genius Warlock-Episode 611
611. Contaminated area (4)
Dedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
Underground contaminated area. The floor vibrated. It was a very subtle vibration that an ordinary person could not feel, but Salas Rigas, a member of the traditional Gaia school, could feel the ground vibrating..
It was natural. Salas has studied Mother Earth all his life and built achievements on it..
For such a long time that my once black hair turned pure white and my once firm bronze skin became saggy. So, of course, I had to be able to feel things that ordinary people cannot feel..
It was right, as the industrial age had endured a long and difficult period from its beginning to its current peak..
Because beyond the simple desire to achieve the power of a wizard, he calmly endured that long, tedious, and cold time for the noble purpose of seeing the truth of the world and understanding Mother Earth..
I am proud of this, regardless of the opinions of those around me that traditional schools have declined..
‘And when that pride was broken. How vain it was.’
Salas felt a complex mixture of joy and emptiness as he looked at his hands, which were slightly firmer than before..
“Boss!”
How many seconds had passed? A wizard in a pink suit came over here and reported..
“It's an intruder! This is Dave, the woodcutter..”
Dave the lumberjack. It was a nickname and name I heard before coming to Landa..
Pinkman Intelligence said it was a nickname given to him by Landa's fixer Dave after killing 82 Enjoyment Druids..
It was truly amazing..
Druid. As beings who wielded both a powerful body and magic, they were superhumans who were in no way inferior to magicians, although their numbers were small due to their unique closed nature..
However, it is said that as many as 82 such druids were killed. Because of his age, background, and position, Salas could not show it, but he was impressed..
Dave Wright. He clearly said he was in his mid-twenties, but I was curious as to how he achieved such accomplishments at such a young age..
Although I heard that he was an experiment or disciple of the archive... Well, it seemed like it wasn't a test subject..
For a moment, it seemed like it might be possible since it was Merlin, but when I thought about it, it wasn't..
Merlin, who was a bit of a bit of a bitch, turned into a completely different person after becoming an archive..
Then I became curious again. What is it like to become an archive, to change one person to that extent?.
Well, there's no way to know now..
“Boss! It keeps coming down. instructions······.”
“Mining progress?”
“Currently 40% mined.”
“40Percent... Did the woodcutter attack alone??”
“Yes, they say they left the men they brought with them in a refugee camp. I don't know why, but they say they are protecting the refugees there..”
“Hmm, strange for a warlock. Or is it because of recent rumors? Sponsored by the Pater Church? Is there anything blocking it??”
“Yes, they are desperately trying to stop it. However, they are ignoring everyone and coming down to the basement quickly..”
Salas nodded. Considering the nature of the underground here, it wasn't strange..
In the basement of the contaminated area, the secret passage magic was tangled like a spider's web, so a skilled wizard could wander through it as he pleased..
“You take your comrades and retreat..”
“yes?”
“First of all, we don't want our identities to be discovered. You shouldn't be seen wearing this stupid pink suit. Well, you could argue that I'm just imitating Pinkman, but whatever..”
Salas pulled up dirt and dust from the floor, wrapped it around his body, and compacted it. Then a gray stone suit was created..
A feeling of intimidation as if you were surrounded by a castle wall..
It was possible to control even the elemental level with magical power. Although he only holds the title of original master, he was once mentioned as a candidate for a grandmaster in a traditional school..
The wizard in the pink suit asked.
“The manager said?”
“Shouldn’t someone show that they are working? Also, personally, I would like to meet a young friend named Dave. It would have been best if we didn't run into each other, but if we're going to end up like this, we should take advantage of the opportunity..”
As soon as he finished speaking, Salas erupted magical energy from within his body, causing small ripples on the floor made of fine dust and dirt..
At first glance, it's not a big deal.
However, the wizard in the pink suit soon felt an unusual energy, and as if he was not mistaken, another ripple appeared on the floor in front of Salas and something rose..
It had a green head, a gray body, and brown limbs..
It was also translucent, but its presence was not blurred. Rather, his presence was clearer than that of most wizards..
Only then did the wizard in the pink suit realize what it was..
It was none other than a spirit. A spirit whose neck and limbs are bound by chains made of magical energy..
As rumored, the spirit was bound by magic..
Salas gave a command to the spirit bound by magic, and immediately the spirit let out a scream that was almost like a scream and shook the ground..
Salas, a member of the traditional Gaia school who studied magic with reverence, ruled Mother Earth..
***
“W, this is E-14! There is a woodcutter here-”
As soon as we came down to the lower level of the contaminated area, one of the members of the Shield Brotherhood reported into the communication device..
It seemed like the coordinates were arbitrarily set below the contaminated area..
No matter how much it became a warlord, the root of it was a gang, and for something like that, it was a very meticulous movement. So much so that you can feel the skill of an expert..
‘In other words, even though most of the troops are members of the Shield Brotherhood, who are from non-affiliated gangs, are they being commanded by other people??’
Oliver, who has been Randa's solver for several years, keenly guessed..
widely.
“shoot!”
As soon as I continued down, ignoring the Shield Brotherhood, I heard a shout..
The gangsters waiting below were all pointing their guns at Oliver..
This seemed to be why the gang up there reported Oliver's location even though they kept missing him..
In order to predict where Oliver will come down on the next floor by combining his position as he moves down..
Through this, Oliver was able to guess two more facts..
One was that there were wizards of a considerable level over there. A wizard with a high level of knowledge in both theory and practice is able to understand and organize all the secret passage techniques installed underground in the contaminated area..
Another thing was that his command was very solid. I don't know if he pressed it with force, or if he paid the price..
But I didn't worry about which one it would be. Because there was something more urgent than that..
For example, there are dozens of guns pointed at Oliver right now..
At the sound of a shout, the gang pulled their guns on Oliver..
The guns surrounding Oliver emitted loud gunshots along with fire..
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 doo!!!
A lead bullet strengthened with blue magic flew at Oliver, and Oliver drew up the magic stored in his body and cast the floor to create a stone wall surrounding it on all sides..
When the lead bullet hit the stone wall, the sound of it shattering as it pierced through was heard, and then-
Powwow━!!
-The wall exploded and fist-sized bullets spread out in all directions, striking the gangs surrounding Oliver..
Most of the gang members were unable to respond to the sudden situation and suffered serious damage such as cracked heads, ruptured abdomen and chest..
This is because when Oliver built the stone wall, he did not make it with one layer, but with two layers with an empty center..
A strong inner wall and a relatively less strong outer wall. And the heightened magical power that filled the space between them.
What should I say? It could be said to be a barrel filled with oil, and the Brotherhood of the Shield was like shooting a gun at that oil barrel..
Of course, the damage was the same as when a tank full of oil was destroyed..
Explosion, impact, shrapnel, flame.
Only Oliver, who was inside the strong inner wall, was able to escape the explosion unscathed. He tried to go down, ignoring the Shield Brotherhood scattered around him..
They were already incapable of combat, and it was more important to subdue key personnel than them..
In this way, Oliver grants a large amount of magical energy to the floor and activates the spell. The layers of floor underneath were opened at the same time..
to go right down.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The brick floors that make up the basement of the contaminated area opened one after another, and after seeing this, Oliver immediately jumped down..
I had to refrain from vigorous movement due to pain in my side, hunger, and burning pain in my right arm, but work still came first..
Personally, I was curious about who was digging up the devil's research materials and traces of transactions underground in the contaminated area..
‘This is the best way to get down without being disturbed. If you try to run away...yeah?’
While falling down the floor that opened one after another, Oliver discovered something..
It was none other than a spirit. It's also a spirit bound by magic..
I thought I was seeing it wrong, so I focused my attention on the warlock's eyes, but as expected, it was a spirit..
I wondered if there was a wizard who could control spirits. It wasn't impossible.
Some wizards were also able to communicate with spirits, although it was less so than druids. A representative example was Kevin Dunbar, Merlin's disciple..
But that was a little different. Although there was a spirit, his emotional state was filled with dissatisfaction and anger, and he was bound by a more powerful magical power..
A sight reminiscent of Eve, who was captured by Sheamus in the past..
At that very moment the ground began to shake.
The magic of the underground secret passage in the contaminated area that Oliver was controlling was destroyed along with the distorted earth, followed by a huge roar and the underground terrain began to change..
A huge stone pillar rose up towards Oliver, who was going down, and struck him like a fist, and thanks to this, Oliver, who had been going down, went up again..
That wasn't all.
Churrrrrrrr!! Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
The underground level where a new passage opens has been rebuilt with a huge roar, as if experiencing a tectonic shift, turning into a completely different terrain..
As if there had been an earthquake, the walls and floor split apart, widening the distance, the walls that were complex like a maze disappeared, and the entire floor moved, bringing together the scattered Shield Brotherhood in one place..
Thanks to this, Oliver has become like an ant in a bucket..
It's also an ant floating alone in the air..
A situation that occurred because a spirit appeared and controlled the earth itself..
The gangs surrounding Oliver all aimed their guns and tried to pull the trigger, and at that very moment, Oliver gathered a large amount of magical power into his quarter staff and struck the ground..
widely!
A clear and beautiful sound echoed softly in the basement, and a large amount of magical power condensed in the quarter staff continued down the stone pillar supporting Oliver..
coo coo coo coo coo coo······!
The entire basement shook with an ominous sound, the floor cracked and dirt fell from the ceiling..
The reason was that Oliver forcibly injected a large amount of magical energy into the ground, putting a burden on the spirits..
The decision was made because it was judged that it would be difficult to fight for control with a spirit that is a part of nature. Perhaps it was the right decision, but the spirit fell into a state of slight breathing difficulty, as if food was stuck in its throat..
However, due to that slight difficulty, the basement under the spirit's control began to collapse, and the Shield Brotherhood within it fell into great confusion..
So much so that Ilwoo the genius missed the timing to focus all his firepower on Oliver. But it wasn't something I couldn't understand..
If I made a mistake, I could have been buried alive underground. Even so, a missed opportunity was a missed opportunity, and Oliver did not miss his opponent's mistake and threw the corpse doll-Durance hidden in his arms with a miniaturization spell high into the sky, releasing the miniaturization spell..
Durance returns to its original size in midair. Child-Second jumped out of Oliver's arms and entered Durance..
Durance, who had gained new life, opened his eight guns, including both arms, one leg, and his side shoulder, and fired bullets in all directions..
From regular magic bullets made of magic power to special flesh bullets made of flesh..
Oliver, who was suddenly surrounded, quickly turned the situation around and opened fire in the middle of the defenseless opponent..
This was the hidden power of wizards and warlocks..
Turning the situation around with one move.
However, that meant that the opponent could once again turn the situation around, and surprisingly, he did..
A huge floor was created right below Durance, a corpse doll who jumped high in the air and unleashed firepower close to a bombardment in the air, and by Oliver's standards, a ceiling was created..
The spirit, which had difficulty breathing due to excessive use of magical energy, recovered, and Durance tried to remove the wall blocking Oliver and himself by shooting a bullet. The land directly handled by the spirits withstood this..
Truly amazing control.
Just like that, Oliver and Durance were separated thanks to the ceiling that suddenly formed, and then the sound of a rat was heard from up there..
It seemed to be a naked rat, a polluting organism..
Naked rats and corpse dolls are polluting organisms..
rat and corpse.
They were polar opposites, and just when Oliver was about to break the ceiling to provide reinforcements, the stone pillar that supported Oliver crumbled like dust and pulled him underground..
bang!!
Oliver, wearing a black suit on his legs, landed stably, but he still felt a slight shock to his side and right arm, which left him a little frowned..
An old man who saw that said.
“You seem unwell..”
He spoke with admiration as a wizard wearing a suit and mask carved out of rock..
“By the way, you're younger than I thought..”
