Genius Warlock - Episode 63

As the sun disappeared behind the horizon, Oliver sent a minion who shared his vision to secretly spy on the spell workshop..

The bored gangsters just mechanically walked around, but those who were too lazy just drank alcohol or played card games..

Forrest's words about not having to worry about gangs came to mind once again..

An old truck was making a dying sound while carrying twenty boxes of what were believed to be magic spells, and the production volume seemed to be quite high..

Oliver, who realized the need for money due to the black market, even had a fresh curiosity about how much a box would cost..

As time passed and the reconnaissance of the surrounding area was completed, the sun completely set and darkness covered the entire area..

Oliver stood up from his seat, took out the test tube he had kept in his arms, and extracted the emotions..

And then he cast as many as three black magic spells on himself..

[Eraser Exit]

[shade clock]

[sneak step]

With black magic that kills all presence, hides in the dark, and silences the sound of footsteps, most people could be completely fooled with these three combinations..

Oliver didn't stop there and did a deep slip on the quarter staff..

I put a lot of emotion into it continuously, not just once, and it was a bit difficult, but fortunately I was able to put it all in without any problems..

After getting ready, Oliver started walking slowly..

While on the way, I released the minions again and placed them on the main roads around the magic workshop..

I think it's unlikely, but just in case the target notices and runs away..

Oliver slowly approached the studio, hiding himself in the dark..

As I focused my vision a little, I could see the emotions of the gangsters deployed here and there, but even though it had only been a while since I had changed shifts, my concentration was as poor as during the day..

All I wanted was to hurry back and satisfy my needs..

Thanks to this, Oliver was able to combine missions and practice with relatively low pressure..

Someone came hurriedly towards Oliver..

As the gang stood guard, Oliver leaned close to the shadowy wall right next to the alley and controlled his breathing. calmly..….

After a while, the footsteps got closer and the gang appeared, but he didn't notice Oliver right in front of him and started running in the opposite direction..

Even though the opponent's concentration was low and they hid their presence and appearance with Eraser Exit and Shade Clock, it was a bit surprising to see this happen right in front of my eyes. Maybe these three combinations are more useful than Oliver thought..

Oliver maintained his composure as best as he could and lifted the quarter step and tapped the gang on the back..

Some of the deep sleep held by the quarter staff entered Gang's body, and soon Gang fell forward like a doll whose strings were cut..

widely-

Oliver quickly caught the falling gang..

There were still gangs nearby, so if I even made a noise, everything could have gone wrong..

Oliver picked up the sleeping gang, took them to the spot where they had been spotted earlier, and laid them down..

It was a dirty and inconvenient place to get to, so the gangs didn't patrol it often, but probably, if it was left lying here, no one would find it..

‘hmm...…'

Oliver thought as he looked at the fallen gang..

What should I do? It probably wouldn't wake up until the sun came up, but I thought it might be better to kill it just in case..

However, killing an opponent who has already been suppressed was a bit much..

It was not a matter of conscience, but rather what Cant said..

‘When doing that job, violence and murder are essential. However, please do not abuse it and keep it within reasonable limits. This is a personal request.’

'hmm.....'

Oliver groaned and thought again about what the appropriate line would be..

I didn't think much of it at the time, so I just nodded, but now that I think about it, it was a very ambiguous issue..

If I had known this would happen, I would have asked. What exactly is the appropriate line?.

Of course, there is also the option to ignore Cant's words altogether, but that's a bit much..

How can I ignore Cant’s request? ..I wonder if it feels uncomfortable.?

So Oliver came up with a neutral answer..

That's none other than extracting some of the vitality of the fallen gang, which lowers the possibility of waking up early. I may never wake up.

Even if he woke up, he would not be able to move properly for a while due to lack of energy..

In other words, you can't interfere with Oliver..

It was a pretty good idea.

A great solution that is both safe and cant do the favor at the same time. Plus free life.

It was one hit and three kills..

After filling the spent test tube with life force, Oliver moved again..

The patrolling gangs usually only moved in groups of one or two, and since they patrolled as they pleased without any set system, it was perfect for taking them down one by one..

As he did the first time, Oliver walked around secretly, and after the gang passed, he hid in the dark and tapped the people with the quarter staff to put them to sleep one by one..

Then, lay it down in a place with few people and receive a certain amount of its vitality..

Thanks to this, I was able to fill the test tube with life force..

‘hmm.… In the future, I will be able to acquire the vitality and emotions that I am lacking in this way. not bad.’

That's what Oliver thought when he took out a dozen gangsters patrolling the area..

However, even for a moment.

One by one, the patrolling gang members began to notice something strange as fifteen people disappeared within a short period of time..

"Hey, where have all the bastards who went out on patrol gone??”

"I don't know, why are you fucking with me?!”

"No, fuck it, it's only you... .. hey? That one?”

"Do you think something is wrong? Fuck, all the patrolling guys are gone here too..”

“Fuck really… .. What is it really?.”

Oliver lamented inwardly without realizing it..

It seems stupid. The way I worked was interesting for the first time, and I was caught off guard again by getting free vitality..

I should have reduced the number as quickly as possible, but I was so distracted that I wasted time, and because of that, the enemy noticed..

It wasn't a big deal, but I still felt regret that I couldn't achieve my goal..

‘no. no.’

Oliver shook his head and reorganized his thoughts..

I remembered what Cant said about not falling for it even if you fail during a mission..

In the first place, there's no way that half of the floor here is in control..

He said that it is common for things to go wrong, either because the client cheated, a co-worker made a mistake, or they were just really unlucky..

In this case, Oliver made a mistake, but in any case, even if things go wrong, the top priority is to fix things rather than get buried in them..

Therefore, Oliver focused his eyes to see if his target was running away and also identified the gangsters' location..

“...........uh?"

Oliver made a sound, looking at the wall where he was hiding..

Something was approaching quickly. With that, something huge broke through the wall and attacked..

Kwakwagwangㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

Fortunately, Oliver was able to quickly deploy his black shield to avoid a direct hit, but was pushed back by the mass and was sent flying backwards..

And that wasn't the end.

[Hate Bullet]X12

Twelve bullets of hatred flew out quickly amidst the dust that arose as the wall crumbled..

Just- just-

Oliver hits the floor with a quarter staff and spreads a black shield..

The bullets of hatred hit the black curtain simultaneously and shook the shield..

Fortunately, Oliver's skill was higher, so the shield was not broken..

"good! This guy is from the firearms industry! push it!”

With those words, something came out through the dust..

It was a very large monster with a chain tied around its neck, but when he looked closely, he saw a face that Oliver recognized..

The third person in the photos Forrest showed me.

Fighter Crew's Mutant Big Jaw.

In reality, it was much bigger and more muscular than it looked in the picture, but the most intimidating thing was its large, abnormally developed jaw and fangs..

It was closer to an animal than a person, and it seemed like it would be over once bitten..

"Ask! Big chin! bite!”

Niko, the warlock riding on top of the big jaw, shouted..

Oliver wondered whether to avoid it or not..

With his athleticism, it was barely possible to avoid it..

Even if you avoid it, the warlock on top will attack you.,

So, instead of avoiding it, I chose another option..

The idea was to swing the quarter staff in the air and spray out the deep sleep contained within it..

"......! "

"Keheung….?”

As befits the name of an organization specializing in combat, Nico reacted quickly and jumped off the large ledge..

Thanks to that, I managed to avoid it, and only the big chin was caught in a deep sleep, but from Oliver's point of view, that was enough..

It was enough for him to just eliminate the large body that was pushing in from the front..

Just when the allies were about to pour firepower towards the disappeared warlock Niko and finish him off, a third voice was heard..

"There it is!”

"Shoot! Grind it!”

Valid one! Bang! Tang I!

The gang suddenly broke in and shot at Oliver..

Oliver quickly opened his black shield and counterattacked by firing a Hate Bullet..

“Ahh!”

“behind! behind!”

The gang dispersed immediately. At that time, another bullet of hatred flew from the side..

“this…..”

To block the incoming attack, Oliver unfolded his black shield once again, and then the gang continued shooting relentlessly..

It was a clumsy joint attack, but it was quite annoying, but at the same time, it was interesting..

Individually they are not that much of a threat, but together they are so annoying..

It reminded me of the fight I had with the puppeteer in the past. Maybe Oliver can use it later too..

It was then.

Shashashak ㅡㅡㅡ!

Something jumped out from among the gang and approached Oliver..

Ignoring the shower of bullets and the bullets of hate, I stayed close, and then swung my fist fiercely..

Suddenly——!

Oliver looked. A black shield that cracks with just one punch..

"oh..… . It's pretty sturdy.?”

Knock! Knock! Knock! Tsk~!

The one who quickly approached was the knuckle group of the fighter crew described by Forrest, who was doped with black magic and constantly swung his knuckles..

As if acknowledging his skills, the guns and bullets of hatred fired from a distance stopped, and as if responding to this, Knuckle Joe swung his fists one after another with the intention of killing him..

Damn... Clink——!

In the end, the black shield was broken by the ensuing punches. Looking closely, it seemed like the shield was weak to melee attacks..

Or is it that melee attacks are generally more powerful than ranged attacks?.

Oliver instinctively took a step back. Then, something grabbed Oliver..

"I won't miss it.”

Knuckle Joe said, raising his eyes from under his messy hair..

Looking at his eyes, it seemed like he had killed a lot of people..

"minion.”

"...?"

At Oliver's words, the minion hidden in his arms jumped out and opened its mouth..

A shock wave was emitted along with it..

Thrust. Black magic that pushes away or destroys enemies.

Although Knuckle Joe was not seriously hit, he was blown away by the shock wave, and the gang was indirectly damaged as well..

Nico immediately tried to attack Oliver with a Hate Bullet, but fortunately Oliver was faster this time..

[Las Boom]X5

I exploded a bomb of anger and raised dust..

"what?!”

"Where are you??!!”

"Damn, I missed it.!”

Oliver ran away and thought a lot of things..

It's the same as when I was a puppeteer, but I think that warlocks fight in many different ways..

Using a doll, he fights in a safe place,,

He handles multiple dolls and fights fights he couldn't do alone.,

Or even the current method where real warlocks work together to complement each other's shortcomings and maximize their strengths..

Although it was embarrassing, it was quite an enjoyable experience..

Now I can understand why Cant asks me to learn so many different fighting methods, beyond just theory..

Perhaps, if Knuckle Joe, Nico, and Big Jaw had been a little better, Oliver might have been defeated without even being able to show his skills..

For example, as soon as the large jaw protrudes, it bites,

Nico pierces the shield with a single powerful firearm-type black magic.,

Or if Knuckle Joe punched Oliver through the shield with one punch..

This was a great luck for Oliver..

The vague reasons for having to learn various fighting styles have changed to a clear reason at this moment..

It was essential to survive in this world beyond the black market..

Oliver stopped in his tracks, turned his head towards the direction he had run from, and looked back..

When the dust started flying in the middle of the night, everyone panicked and couldn't chase after them quickly.,

Meanwhile, Oliver took out two test tubes..

One is a test tube containing emotions and the other is life force..

I just pulled it out and can use it right away..

Oliver felt very lucky..
