Genius Warlock-Episode 622

622. flute sound (1)

The royal family of the United Kingdom and the puppets joined hands... At the very least, Oliver guessed, Crown Prince Edward X and Puppet had joined hands..

Of course, there was no clear evidence.

However, there were circumstances.

First of all, Edward X was a devil worshiper, and Puppet was a warlock who made a deal with the devil. In other words, there was an intersection between the two called the devil..

That wasn't the end. There was also a connection.

Pinkman, who was stealing signs related to the devil in the contaminated area, was one of them..

I couldn't confirm it, but if Pinkman was in charge of a high-risk mission related to the devil, it was likely to be a request from his biggest customer, and that biggest customer was the royal family..

Because the royal family was the power that Pinkman considered more important than money..

Among those pink men, there was a former traditional Gaia school wizard who underwent puppet treatment..

A wizard struggling to protect his efforts and achievements in the apocalypse..

Royal family collecting items related to the devil,

A puppet that attracts the Swan Church and traditional wizards in a world undergoing an apocalypse..

This circumstance led Oliver to conclude that Edward X and the Puppet had joined hands..

I didn't know for what purpose or in what form it was taken..

Of course, with this background in mind, it was not the case that Prince Albert's assassination plan was discovered..

Just a vague guess as to what could happen..

Isn't it strange that after the contaminated area incident, royal officials suddenly came to Landa to have friendly exchanges and all??

So when Oliver first met Albert and parted ways, he handed him the paper he had made..

It is a piece of paper with a spell imbued with space magic engraved on it, and I asked you to keep it on your person at least while you are in Landa..

It seemed like a trivial request, but when I thought about it, it turned out to be a bit of an unreasonable request..

Isn't it too suspicious that a warlock you've only met twice at most suddenly asks you to keep a piece of paper on you??

But fortunately, Prince Albert seemed to trust Oliver and kept the paper with him as requested..

“Are you okay??”

Thanks to this, Oliver was able to come here from Area U through the purple portal at once and ask about my well-being..

The boy, who always tried to look like an adult, now had a face appropriate for his age. A face that looks scared and relieved..

“······.”

The boy couldn't say anything, perhaps because of his fluctuating emotions or because of Oliver's sudden appearance..

Oliver also didn't know what to say at times like this, so he couldn't say anything..

What an awkward moment. At that time, I felt a presence in front of Oliver..

‘Garbageman Corrado, demolition worker Globe, restaurant wizard Judy, loan shark Big Bad, steel-armed Koloff, barber Rooney······.’

Oliver turned his head and looked at each person standing in front of him and said to himself,.

They were all of Landa's new rank, belonging to the New Gentleman..

This is the first time we met in person. However, Oliver had seen their photos and personal information through Joe..

They are all superhumans who have now established themselves in at least one district of Landa, and coincidentally, they are also the ones being watched by the Landa Ministry of Internal Affairs..

The reason is an unknown source of funds and a sudden improvement in skills. As if to prove those concerns, they just targeted the prince..

This is a passage where we can once again appreciate the insight of Landa's Minister of the Interior, Paul Carver..

‘Joe is... You don't have it.’

Oliver rolled his eyes, checked his surroundings, and thought..

At the time of the communication, they said they were going out to deal with the attackers outside the hotel, but it seemed like they weren't finished yet..

Proof of this is the gunshots, heavy drinking, and deathly sounds outside the hotel that still reverberate..

Oliver and the new class looked at each other in silence..

It seemed like there was a royal family or puppet behind them..

If you don't have that level of background, it would probably be impossible to aim for the second prince..

Oliver personally hoped it was a puppet. Isn't it a bit wrong if the royal family instigated the second prince to be killed??

So I was worried. Should I catch those in front of me alive or kill them?.

Looking at it objectively, it was standard to capture the person and find out who was behind it, but it was impossible to predict what problems would arise in the process..

At least I'll be involved with either the royal family or the puppet. Maybe it was both.

To be honest, Oliver didn't want anything to do with them. At least for now.

Above all, there was a pact made with the Puppet through the unbending knee of the Swan Church..

As Oliver's worries deepened, a bullet imbued with magic flew through the window from afar and aimed at the back of Oliver's head..

having a sniper.

Oliver spread his shield to block the bullets and reflexively focused his eyes on the warlock. I checked the person across from the hotel..

He was also a member of the New Solstice, and Oliver incapacitated the observed opponent by dropping a lightning bolt directly on his head..

He didn't die, seeing as his vitality wasn't extinguished, but he seemed to have suffered at least full body burns..

If the injury is that bad, at least I can't intervene any further.-

“-be careful!”

When Oliver was lost in thought after taking down the sniper, Albert behind him screamed..

The new class that was directly confronting Oliver had moved..

They had stopped in confusion at Oliver's appearance just now, but they used the bullet fired by the sniper as a signal and attacked all at once..

The first to move was the steel-armed Colop, who was running straight ahead. He was a typical new class person who accumulated wealth by selling military force..

As if to demonstrate his skill, he quickly narrowed the distance as if he were teleporting and pulled the golem prosthetic hand made of steel behind his shoulder..

The surrounding air moved with a puff of mass, and a thruster came out from the elbow and exploded..

bang━!!

I used my momentum to punch my fist..

A shock wave that tore through the air spread everywhere, and the golem's prosthetic hand flashed like a flash and instantly flew into Oliver's face..

If hit correctly, it has the power to shatter your face or explode..

However, Oliver easily blocked this by expanding his deployed black shield..

A loud noise rang out, and the steel fist stopped in midair, blocked by the shield. Koloff wiggled his eyebrows at this..

It wasn't that I didn't understand. Koloff, who rose to a new rank through force alone, must be proud of his power..

But was it blocked this easily? I felt uncomfortable.

As if to prove this, Koloff roared when he made eye contact with Oliver through the shield..

“I'll crush that crazy poker face.!!”

Immediately after saying those words, Koloff poured his magic power into the golem's prosthetic arm..

Blue magical light flowed through the gap between the golem's prosthetic arm made of steel, and instead of dispersing in the air, the magical energy wrapped around the arm and rotated like a drill, tearing the shield at once..

Jiiiiiiing!!

An ugly sound of cutting and grinding the air rang out, and a steel fist reached right in front of Oliver's nose..

widely-!

Although it bounced helplessly before reaching Oliver's face..

Oliver threw the black suit around with his left hand, which shocked Koloff..

“······This is crazy!”

Although he had heard of Oliver's reputation, he didn't seem to expect that he would be able to block his attack so easily..

Well, the warlock who was strong in close combat was a disease-enhancement type, and Oliver did not use disease-type black magic very often. He just didn't have any particular situation to write about..

Anyway, right after Oliver knocked Koloff's fist away, he swung his fist and tried to subdue him, but at that moment, a magic light flashed in front of Oliver, and about a dozen grenades appeared in the air..

By transferring the bomb using space magic, Oliver could tell at once that it was the work of trash dealer Corrado..

According to the data Joe gave, he was the only one who could use space magic..

Originally, his skills were so poor that he was kicked out of the Magic Tower, but he has recently achieved amazing achievements in space magic. It is said that they took advantage of this to dispose of waste at the lowest price and rise to a new level..

Combat styles include bombs, machine guns, and golems. It's a way to summon weapons of war, and when I saw it in person, it seemed like a pretty good method..

When the grenade that Corrado took out was about to explode, Oliver withdrew his hand and created a [Black Cube] as a grenade sink and covered it to prevent the explosion..

A low explosion rang out on the top floor of the hotel, and soon a blurry figure approached Oliver's left and right sides..

Globe, a demolition worker, and Rooney, a barber, were magical users, each swinging a two-handed hammer and a razor to strike Oliver..

After interfering with their actions with his minions, Oliver counterattacked by swinging his quarter staff..

Chajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwajwa!

Dozens of lines were drawn in the air in an instant..

“take a deep breath.”

As soon as he drew numerous lines in the air with a hammer, razor, and quarter staff, Rooney, a wizard in the restaurant industry, dug into the gaps and blew herb powder at Oliver..

At first glance, it seemed to be a seasoning mixed with herbs, but the moment I smelled it, I knew it was not that..

Each of these herb powders was ordinary, but when mixed in a certain ratio and processed with magical power, it was a complex and sinister item that became extremely poisonous..

An attack befitting someone who made a fortune by using medicinal herbs to make food addictive and sell it..

After confirming that Oliver had inhaled the herb powder, Judy pulled out the dagger hidden in her thigh and rushed at Oliver without hesitation..

The daggers held in both hands flashed magical light and flew from a total of 12 directions, and Oliver spit out a breath containing disease-weakening black magic at her..

“Huh?! ······how?”

Judy, who was charging vigorously while wielding a dagger, was shocked when she caught Oliver's breath.,

Her neck instantly heated up and began to swell..

Her eyes were blurred with shock as she suffered from extreme pain and difficulty breathing..

But it wasn't necessarily because of that. What shocked her the most was that Oliver himself was impervious to poison..

It was completely understandable. Because it was a pretty strong poison. Maybe it would have worked if Oliver hadn't eaten the meat cook's flesh..

However, the current Oliver has become resistant to poison by eating the flesh of a human meat cook..

Oliver thought about explaining this, but before she could say anything, the inside of Judy's mouth swelled to an ugly degree and she soon stopped breathing..

A very meaningless end for Landa's representative superhuman, a new class. Judy's colleagues didn't think so..

The herbs she combined were weapons whose power had already been proven through numerous battles. To the extent that it can be treated as a commodity. Additionally, Judy's dagger skills were not lacking as a combatant..

Nevertheless, the reason she fell so vainly was simply because her opponent was bad..

Because power is relative, it can appear large or small depending on the object of comparison..

Therefore, the new class standing here could not help but be nervous..

I've heard rumors that Fixer Dave fought on par with finger puppets across the ocean, but I never thought it would be like this. It was shocking.

I was cautious and cautious, but this was more than that..

In addition to using spatial magic, he is also resistant to poison and is well versed in disease-type black magic..

However, Corrado, a garbage man, Big Bad, a loan shark, Globe, a demolition worker, Koloff, a steel arm, and Rooney, a barber, could not back down..

A body that has already tried to murder the prince. Those who ran away from here had to be chased for the rest of their lives..

In order to somehow be protected, at least one wound had to be inflicted on the prince's body..

To start a war between Landa and the royal family..

Sharing a goal like that, they suppressed their fears and attacked Oliver..

First, trash dealer Corrado used his specialty, space magic, to summon numerous automatic machine gun batteries and small bazooka batteries around him..

With the latest weapon that can be controlled remotely with magical power, Corrado aimed the weapon not only at the prince but also at the businessmen and capitalists around him..

It was a tactic to distract Dave, the troubleshooter, and fortunately it worked, as Oliver's eyes moved..

Big Bad, a loan shark who did not miss the opportunity, poured as many disease-enhancement black magic into his body as he could, turning into a twisted giant. Behind him, Demolitioner Globe, Steel Arm Koloff, and Barber Looney peeked at the timing of the attack..

With powerful firepower pouring out in all directions, a huge Big Bad charging head-on, and three powerful magic users charging in, no matter how good Dave was, he wouldn't be able to completely protect the prince..

If they harm the prince like that, they will win..

creepy······!

At that very moment, everyone in the new class, including Corrado, experienced a numbing sensation..

Like a herbivore in front of a wild beast.

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the sensation, and soon made eye contact with Oliver..

No, more accurately, I made eye contact with Oliver's shadow..

For a split second, Oliver's shadow seemed to grow in size and glared at me with countless eyes..

A fear that is hard to describe!

Thanks to this, the new class missed the timing of their attack, and Oliver injected magic power into the floor through his legs..

He manipulated the ground like mud and enveloped the new class like a flower bud..

Corrado, who came to his senses late, tried to project firepower by manipulating the summoned automatic machine gun battery and small bazooka battery with magic, but the batteries did not comply..

Oliver was the first to take control of the battery by injecting magical power..

He observed and imitated the flow of magic power used by Corrado and took control of the machine gun battery and bazooka battery that were equipped with Corrado's magic power..

Corrado was astonished by the ridiculous technique, but Oliver poured as much magical power as he could into the battery he had taken control of, raising its output to its limit..

Jijijijijijijijik!!

A small electric current erupted around the machine gun battery and the bazooka battery, resonated, and began to tangle, and soon it also affected Steel Arm Koloff's steel prosthetic hand, causing dozens of currents to tangle and form a huge spider's web..

As the number of connected devices increased, the overheating of the devices increased by several levels. Just as the equipment reached its limit and was about to explode, Oliver controlled the earth and completely closed the bud..

Kururururrung······!

Although the flower bud did not break, the entire building rang as the explosion was so powerful..

The only sound that followed was the sound of breathing, and Oliver looked around to assess the situation..

Fortunately, there was no significant damage. Oliver turned and looked at the prince..

Just as the prince sighed and was about to say something to Oliver, a strange yet familiar sound was heard in Oliver's ears..

Sad yet cheerful, irregular yet harmonious... It was the sound of a flute.
