Genius Warlock - Episode 640

640. airship (2)

Sharp eyes, sunken cheeks, tightly closed mouth, rough skin..

The warlock who used his uniform to disguise himself as a flight attendant was giving off quite a strong impression..

Like Walter Mayer who asked Oliver for help.

It seemed like he was from the center of the continent..

Life is a struggle, so it has no choice but to become rough and rough..

Those people usually don't show much emotion on their faces, and the same goes for the warlock in front of them..

However, unusually, he was quite embarrassed on the inside, even if he didn't know it on the outside..

From his perspective, it had to be that way..

The blade that Oliver held with his bare hand was something that went beyond just grazing and would cause the flesh to rot away just by touching it..

A black magic item tempered with the blood of a person with the plague..

It was a cursed object so vicious that its body would rot alive if it touched it, regardless of the target's skill level. Some people can't even think of using it..

Oliver caught that with his bare hands..

without any problem.

At a time when the warlock was wondering if the thing in front of him was a person, Oliver asked the stranger:.

“What are you doing here??”

“······Big, big.━!!”

In response to Oliver's question, the gunman quickly came to his senses and answered with a scream..

By remembering his mission.

A roaring sound that was more animal-like than human-like shook the walls and spread throughout the airship..

signal, not attack.

Oliver instinctively sensed this and silenced the assailant by breathing heavily..

Due to the disease-weakening black magic Dumbness, the assailant instantly became mute..

“······?!”

He might have been taken aback by the sudden situation, but he immediately began his next action..

Oliver threw away the knife that was stuck between his index and middle fingers and couldn't get it out, and pulled out a new dagger..

Looking at his judgment and ability to act, it was possible to guess that he had a lot of experience, and his dark red discolored skin and his movements so fast that afterimages were visible showed that he also had a lot of skill..

A skilled warlock with no shortage of experience or skills..

However, there was one question:.

Even though I came here to kill someone, my emotional state is not good.-

-Wow!!

Just as the stranger's dagger that was tearing through the air was about to reach Oliver's face, Derek took out the long sword he had been storing with miniaturization magic and protected Oliver..

“what are you doing?!!”

Derek shouted at Oliver's unresponsive appearance. But unfortunately, instead of reacting to those words, Oliver opened the warlock's eyes..

The range is enough to encompass the entire airship..

When the warlock opened his eyes, the world went black, and Oliver looked at everyone on the airship, while also capturing the sound of shouting along the wall and the people reacting to the shouting..

There were quite a few warlocks everywhere, and some of them were seen equipped with bombs..

“······huh?”

Oliver, who was looking closely at the inside of the airship, suddenly frowned and let out a sigh..

look agitated.

It could be said to be a strange reaction for someone who had just been almost stabbed and remained calm and weak..

Anyway, Oliver focused the warlock's eyes and checked again to see if he had seen it correctly, and unfortunately, he had not seen it wrong..

“Why is Rossburn······?”

Oliver muttered as he spotted Rossburn in the economy class of the airship..

“What on earth is wrong??!”

While Oliver tilted his head, Derek shouted again..

Even as he was asking questions, he and the warlock exchanged blades, embroidering dozens of silver lines in the air..

Considering that it was difficult to use a long sword due to the environment of the airship's corridors and that magic was also difficult to use, it could be said that they were responding well..

It seems like he's had quite a bit of training so far..

Thanks to this, even though I couldn't suppress the warlock right away, I was able to grab his ankle, and in the meantime, the passengers in the first class cabin were able to open the door and understand the situation there..

Among those passengers were Kevin and Yareli, who were also riding with Paladin..

Well done━!

Just when Kevin, who had figured out the situation outside, was trying to help Derek, the sound of something being cut rang out..

Oliver changed his grip on the blade he had previously held with his index and middle fingers and suddenly walked in front of the blade and cut down the warlock..

Move your stomach, chest, neck, face, and head diagonally from bottom to top without any hesitation..

Red blood pooled on the floor, cleanly split flesh and bones, and the dark wizard's empty eyes unable to grasp the situation..

“······.”

The warlock, who was exchanging fierce attacks with Derek while holding a dagger in both hands, collapsed vertically without even making a sound, let alone a scream..

Derek, who had been exchanging attacks until now at that calm yet eerie sight, felt his blood run cold and his eyes widened..

Kevin, Yareli, the paladin, and the nun behind him also looked at Oliver in silence..

What should I say? It was so cold and mechanical..

Feeling like removing a cumbersome object.

Actually, that was true too.

The reason Oliver swung the dagger was because the warlock was annoying..

Of course, if it were Oliver, he wouldn't immediately swing a knife because he was annoyed, but when he found Rossburn in the economy class, the story changed..

Should I say it's really annoying??

As if expressing his feelings, Oliver threw the knife he had just used on the floor without even looking at the fallen warlock..

The sword fell next to the warlock who had been cut diagonally, and the warlock's wound was rotting away..

Disease could easily spread inside the airship through rotten flesh..

A paladin quickly ran over and purified the corpse..

[Holy Light)]

The most widely used sexual method and at the same time a powerful sexual method.

I thought it was for combat, but it turns out that wasn't really the case. The paladin also used it to exclude contaminants..

Normally, he would have observed it with interest, but instead, Oliver saw Kevin looking at him with a surprised expression..

“······what's the matter?”

Kevin asked in a more serious voice than usual..

I've never seen Oliver cut someone down so suddenly..

Oliver responded.

“Warlocks are currently attacking the airship. And there's Rossburn on the airship..”

“Loss······. what?”

Derek, unable to understand the situation, muttered a question, but Kevin, who had heard from Merlin who Rosburn was, roughly understood..

Rossburn. A child saved by Oliver from Mattel and later entrusted to the Magic Tower branch by Merlin..

Oliver said the kid is on the airship now..

I don't know how or why I got on it.

But that wasn't what mattered right away..

The important thing was that the mere presence of Rosburn here was a nuisance to Oliver..

Just as Kevin was about to say something after realizing the situation, Oliver left the floor and tried to go to economy class..

One step closer to being decisive.

Yareli asked loudly..

“Where are you going!”

“To Rossburn..”

While the airship, which is vulnerable to terrorism, was being attacked by a warlock, Oliver answered as if it was completely natural..

No, it was closer to a notification than an answer..

Because there was a feeling that no refutation would be allowed..

Still, just as Kevin was about to say something,.

Ta-da-da-da-dang!!

Gunfire began to ring out from the lower levels of the airship..

***

airship.

Proof that mankind has conquered the sky... Although it was an item with a grandiose title, it was actually more unstable than expected..

We have secured the ability to fly in the sky and move between countries, but according to experts, it is somewhat difficult to conquer the sky..

This is because there were several vulnerabilities..

A representative example was the weather..

When there is wind and rain, any airship is no different from a huge, expensive coffin in the sky..

It wasn't because airlines were bored with creating and operating their own meteorological bureaus..

However, it was also unavoidable..

No matter how advanced magic and industry are, what can humans do in front of the great nature created by the hands of God??

Moreover, it was not only the great nature that was vulnerable..

People were also a problem.

Airships were large enough to carry hundreds of people at once, depending on the model, but they were also vulnerable to confusion..

Thanks to the combination of the special environment of the sky, limited space, and sensitive engines and air sacs,.

If there was a fight on the airship, it was bound to be dangerous for either side, so there was no choice but to use magic to thoroughly inspect the passengers before boarding the airship. (In Derek's case, he was a member of the Cardinal Priest, so he passed.)

The security may have been a bit excessive, but it was better than doing it in moderation and dying, so people didn't care..

Of course, even with such thorough preparation, it was inevitable that problems would arise..

“Hehehe!!”

“shut up! If you resist, I will explode.!”

Like right now.

Multiple assailants believed to be warlocks threatened the passengers, each brandishing firearms, swords, or disfigured arms..

There were questions about how it passed the test, but no one was worrying about that right now..

There was a warlock in front of me trying to cause terrorism in the sky above the open sea..

The airship's hired security guards and some armed guests joined forces to try to subdue them..

‘A bomb has been planted on an airship! If you resist, I will explode a bomb.!!’

A warlock who seemed to have no backs raised the detonator above his head and shouted, but it failed..

I couldn't tell if it was a bluff or not, but it was enough to stop those who resisted for a moment. In that moment, the warlocks took care of them..

The evidence is the people lying bleeding on the floor..

Most of the remaining passengers gave up resistance and just cowered and waited for the disaster to pass..

“Take control of the engine room! Control of air sacs!”

“······First class room?”

“that is······.”

“As expected, damn it······.”

A warlock muttered softly..

Seeing as no report was received, it seemed like something was not going well, but the warlock reacted as if he had expected it..

What a strange reaction for someone trying to take over an airship..

That wasn't the only strange thing.

Although he was driven by evil, he did not feel the maniacal belligerence of other psychopaths..

Rather, I just felt anxious, like I was cornered..

Of course, the scared passengers didn't notice this..

Meanwhile, one of the warlocks whispered a question to the warlock holding the detonator..

His voice wasn't just anxious, it even had a hint of fear..

“What should I do now??”

“What should I do? That's all I've been instructed to do.······.”

The warlock holding the detonator stopped talking and looked at his left hand..

hand holding the detonator.

Surprisingly, white frost seemed to form on my sweaty hands from holding the detonator so tightly, and then, like mold spreading, pure white ice covered my hands and froze them..

in just one moment.

“Uh oh······?”

A situation where your head can't keep up.

Only after the hand holding the detonator was completely frozen did the warlocks find Yareli standing at the entrance..

Yareli looking with glasses off.

The warlocks who discovered Yareli immediately tried to counterattack, but Yareli's eyes were faster than their movements and immediately froze them..

So bad so bad!!

A sound as if something was being torn apart came from the nose, mouth, throat, limbs, etc., and the bodies of the black magicians froze in white..

Derek took advantage of the gap and held the long sword upside down, instantly closing the distance and swinging his pommel like a blunt weapon to subdue the warlock..

There was no point in spilling blood in this place where people gathered, and if we wanted to find out who was behind it, we had to catch them alive..

“I subdued them all?”

“okay. If Zeno said it, this is it. The paladins will take care of the engine room..”

Roderick and Zenon's group decided to divide their roles and subdue the warlocks who attempted to take over the airship, based on Oliver's words understood through the eyes of the warlock..

There were a few instances of Zeno's uncharacteristic behavior, which caused some difficulties, but thanks to Kevin's persuasion and Derek and Yareli's promises, we were able to distribute the roles well..

And now Derek was going to make good on that promise..

“rosburn!”

The wizard who suddenly appeared and killed the warlocks immediately called someone..

While all the passengers who were trying to express their gratitude for coming back from death were dumbfounded, someone stuck out their face..

It was a boy. a familiar boy.

I remembered who it was.

He was the boy who stayed by Zenon's side while he was unconscious..

When Zenon woke up, it was the boy who gave him back the quarter staff..

Derek asked looking at the boy..

“rosburn?”

“Yes.”

“He asked why on earth I was here..”

There was no need to say who asked that..

Just as Rosburn was about to say something about it..

Kwaang!! Kwaaang!!

An explosion sounded from above and on the stern of the airship, and the airship shook violently..

The bomb installed by the warlock had activated. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be the engine room and air sac, which were the lifeblood of the airship. In short, something big had happened..

The passengers in the seats screamed and fell into confusion, and before anyone could tell them to calm down, their lower stomachs started to itch and the airship began to fall below..

Just when I thought everything was over, the falling speed decreased rapidly, as if someone was supporting the airship, and soon a vast amount of magical power, encompassing a huge airship loaded with hundreds of people and luggage, began to erupt from above..
