conversation with the gardener.
Last night, Oliver experienced a series of events that were difficult to experience in a single day. To be honest, it was a very, very long night..
At least that's how I feel..
But that wasn't the end.
Oliver had to return to the city and have a brief conversation with the cardinal priest and the kings of the central continent who bore the burden of original sin..
Afterwards, I went to see Joanna. to help her her. Also, to get help.
Of course, before that, I had to face the group that came here with me, Kevin, Yarely, Rosburn, etc..
Oliver asked Kevin as soon as he saw him..
‘professor. Can I ask you a favor??’
‘what?’
‘Could you please protect Mr. Yareli and Rosburn? I don't think I have time to worry about other people..’
I meant this.
I couldn't find the confidence to care about anyone else while dealing with the Pied Piper..
Fortunately, Kevin accepted the request. As if he expected it.
Thanks to this, Oliver was relieved..
Kevin was someone I could trust more than anyone else, as he had not only skill but also cool-headed judgment and, above all, a strong mentality..
But that didn't mean he didn't have anxiety..
widely.
As he was passing Kevin to meet Joanna, he grabbed Oliver's arm and asked softly..
‘There is a way?’
Oliver saw his emotions..
Kevin's feelings of trust and doubt at the same time.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Oliver. He trusted Oliver, but more than that, he was wary of the Pied Piper..
It wasn't something to blame. Because that's what the Pied Piper was like..
So Oliver couldn't answer Kevin's question right away, but was able to answer only after a short pause..
‘······I'm not sure, but maybe.’
After hearing the answer, Kevin looked at Oliver for a moment and then let go, and Oliver went up the stairs to Joanna on the second floor..
I was truly grateful..
Even if the warlock's eyes had been opened, he wouldn't have been able to see Oliver's emotions..
Even though Kevin responded late, he believed Oliver's words..
Of course, Oliver wasn't lying..
It's not certain, but there was a way to find it..
First of all, it was blood..
Oliver, who was consistently pushed back in Landa, was the only one to surpass the Pied Piper..
The second was Pilgerette..
Excluding the demon Burned One, there is no opponent that Pilgeret could not defeat..
In fact, it was closer to the only means rather than a method..
Still, just in case, Oliver thought of the last resort..
I really hate to write about it, but in some ways it's a final method that's more reliable than Pilgerette..
It was none other than 'opening eyes' and 'processing', as well as 'extraction', which is the most basic technique in black magic..
“extraction······!”
The Pied Piper, who, like Oliver, rarely raised his voice, spoke loudly for the first time..
The voice contained shock and admiration, not anger..
Nevertheless, what Oliver extracted was only a vast anger that was incomparable to those subtle emotions..
“Ughhh······!”
The vast, deep anger that burst from the Pied Piper's entire body coalesced into one stream, like a meteor shower being sucked into a black hole, and gathered into Oliver's burned right palm..
It was a reckless sight, as if trying to hold the sea in the palm of your hand..
However, that reckless act was taking place right before our eyes, and as if to prove this, Oliver's body, which was extracting the Pied Piper's anger, seemed as if it would explode at any moment, sending out various danger signals as the blood vessels all over his body sprouted..
It looked very painful.
Even if you take away the missing limbs (excluding the right arm), the two blinded eyes, and the bloody appearance..
“Grrrrrrrr······!”
Between Oliver's teeth, which were clenched tightly to prevent the sound from escaping, a sound escaped, not knowing whether it was a scream or a yell..
However, Oliver did not stop extracting despite the pain..
Because this was the only way to stop the Pied Piper, who could not be helped by force..
All I could do was to extract all of that anger, destroy my delicate emotions, and turn them into a can with no will..
Like the nameless single mother who sold all of her maternal love for her child and lost all emotions..
‘My child is sick. Please, please do the right thing. My child needs medicine.’
For a moment, an unknown single mother passed through Oliver's mind..
She was noticeably thin and had empty eyes, and she shamelessly begged for money, holding out the child she had clearly once loved. She asked for money even though her child was dying.
‘Merciful One. Please give the child a penny. I haven't eaten anything for several days. My child is sick. please······.’
All that remains is a shallow selfishness.
‘money······. please.’
When a small amount of money was thrown, the woman threw the child away and fell like a dog to pick up the money..
Oliver saw that and said.
‘Ahhh······. 'She was pretty.'.
“under. under. under. So you thought of this method!? I thought I could stop if I extracted all my anger.?!!”
The Pied Piper, who read Oliver's memories, shouted in an even more furious voice..
He expressed emotions of shock, admiration and contempt..
“Honestly, I was surprised. There were cases where they sent troops to stop me, and there were cases where they used their own lives, but I never thought they would try to stop me with such basic black magic. It's really amazing... but!”
Even though his left arm and both legs were sealed by the shadow, the Pied Piper used his strength to slowly approach Oliver..
“That's my feelings... My anger... This picture is only possible when everything is extracted.!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah······!”
Oliver, who was blind in both eyes, looked straight at the approaching Pied Piper and shouted..
The anger extracted from the shouting also increased, but the Pied Piper's anger did not decrease at all..
Just like dissolving the sea water, it's just standing still.
Rather, perhaps due to the vast emotions being extracted, an air current was formed around the Pied Piper and Oliver, and strong winds like a typhoon began to rise..
Under the influence of the strong wind, the surrounding trees shook, the clouds in the sky formed into rings, the dead wandering around the Pied Piper's domain trembled in fear, and the birds and wild animals outside the domain went into fits of madness..
The world was shaking.
“Even if you could extract it all, would you really be able to handle it? my anger?”
The Pied Piper asked. That was a very good point..
‘‘Opening eyes’ and ‘processing’. Meanwhile, the most basic black magic, ‘extraction,’ influenced the magician..
Oliver didn't know that either. Because he learned from the Joseph family.
Emotions are the energy of the soul. The moment it was extracted and processed, the emotion affected the magician..
The more intense the emotion, the stronger it becomes. Such as sadness, murderous intent, hatred, and anger..
And if the emotions are too strong and the magician's skills are insufficient, the emotions will actually erode the magician..
Just like now.
percussion!
One step. One step. The Pied Piper approached Oliver and stretched out his only free arm, grabbing Oliver's burned right arm..
The two hands held together looked like a handshake at first glance..
“nice······!!”
“I don't think I've ever felt this much emotion. how is it? Is it different from what you were watching from the side? Is it still just sad??”
Oliver, who was moaning in pain, could not respond, but responded by unconsciously trying to pull his hand away..
It was an error in judgment..
I tried to eliminate the Pied Piper's anger by extracting his emotions, but on the contrary, I ended up being eroded by the Pied Piper's anger..
I knew his anger would know no bounds. Still, it's like this.
Oliver unconsciously tried to pull his hand away, but the Pied Piper tightened his grip and grabbed Oliver's right hand..
“weekend!”
The Pied Piper released his emotions and forced them into Oliver's right arm..
“······!!!”
Oliver let out a silent scream..
His entire body swelled as if his veins were bursting, and the Pied Piper's anger and the memories of that anger invaded Oliver's mind at will..
‘dad! dad! Look over there! It's a village!’
‘Dad, here’s the acorn! Twinkle big!’
‘Dad, it's cold. But it's warm!’
‘Dad, I’ll give you the first flute I made..’
‘Dad, can you talk about this to Mom next time??’
‘dad. Is what mom said true??’
‘Dad...what kind of person was mom??’
‘Traveling with dad isn’t difficult..’
‘Anywhere I go with my dad is fine. I just need my dad.’
The Pied Piper and his son seen through Idea. Memories of Nicholas and Hameln forced their way into Oliver's mind..
3Seeing it from the perspective of a personal observer felt as vivid as if I was experiencing it myself..
And the difference was indescribably great. to a terrible extent.
“what's the matter?! take it!!”
“That, stop...!! stop!!!”
Oliver, who had lost all limbs except his right arm, begged for his life for the first time in his life..
It was terrible. It was terrible.
However, the Pied Piper held on tighter to Oliver's arm as he tried to run away, as if he had no intention of letting go..
“why?! You said you would do your best?!! That's a good idea! take it!!”
Even more anger surged from the Pied Piper's body, drying out and twisting the plants around him..
“my anger!”
That anger was Oliver's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Blood was pouring out from seven holes..
“my pain!!”
Oliver's eyes began to turn black as blood flowed out, and his hair turned completely white..
“Ah... ahhh...······!!”
“Take it all!!!”
━━━━━━!!
Screaming Oliver and the Pied Piper Shouting.
The Pied Piper's anger, which was constantly pouring out, entered Oliver's body, which was resisting with all its might, without hesitation..
As the emotion penetrated Oliver's resistance, a calm yet heavy ripple erupted from his body and spread to the surroundings, and Oliver collapsed like a doll whose strings had been cut..
Inaudible breathing. The death-like silence that followed.
Everyone here just looked at the fallen Oliver..
The Pied Piper was no exception..
He looked at Oliver silently, his disappointment shining, and then tried to pull his hand away..
and at that moment.
tidik-!
Wow······!
Oliver's right arm gained strength, and he raised his head again..
His hair had turned completely white, his eyes had turned black, and his face had developed small incontinence..
More than fear, the Pied Piper is filled with awe..
Oliver raised his head and channeled all the anger of the Pied Piper through that emotion, and for a brief moment the world was immersed in darkness, like a void with nothing in it..
***
Bleep.-
The world is just a moment. Soon after darkness fell, Joanna, Kevin, and Yarely opened their eyes..
······no. I will correct it.
It felt like the world had gone black, but the moment was too brief to tell..
Anyway, Joanna, Kevin, Yareli, etc. Everyone who watched Oliver's fight, even throwing away his own body, opened their eyes and were able to see..
The forest scenery has changed completely. And the countless dead and allied forces under Cardinal Priest Roderick who had been wandering the forest for hundreds of years. Refugee warlocks who shouldn't be here right now.
They were clearly divided and gathered around the place, as if someone had carefully coordinated them, and were looking at Kevin and the others..
No, I wasn't looking at Kevin and his group. He was a little further to the side..
Kevin, Joanna, and Yareli noticed that and slowly turned their heads..
Towards the place where the suffering Oliver was.
was standing there.
A white-haired boy who had not yet shed his youthful appearance, wearing a torn leather mask and new limbs..
Beneath the torn leather mask was the face of a much younger boy, and the boy was looking at his new left arm, standing on two feet that had never existed before, with eyes that seemed to be new to the world..
It looked almost reverent. Then, someone laughed.
“under······. haha.”
It was the Pied Piper. The Pied Piper sits in front of Oliver.
Unlike Oliver, he was sitting on the floor, missing his left arm and both legs..
But it didn't look painful. Instead, he looked like he realized something. shocking and disappointing.
“Right. From the beginning I······.”
Oliver, whose hair turned gray from laughter, raised his still burnt right hand..
“my life······.”
Oliver raised his index finger and pointed at the Pied Piper..
“I was just there to wake you up..”
said Oliver, pointing to the Pied Piper..
