Genius Warlock-Episode 693
693. sex law (2)
Oliver answered quietly..
“······“No.”.
To the devil who wants to take the holy law from this world.
No, rather than taking it, retrieval might have been a more appropriate expression..
It wasn't an attempt to rob you unfairly, it was an attempt to take back what was given..
Anyway, Oliver told the woman on the camel that he had no intention of stopping her..
Even though I know what role and influence the Holy Law has on the Paterism in a small way and in the world in a big way..
The sacred law, known as the power given by God, was the authority of the Pater religion itself, and the Pater cult used that authority to maintain order in the world..
The legitimacy of the king, the legitimacy of securing colonies, the legitimacy of rule. Paterism supported all the legitimacy of the order of the world..
The Holy Law was not simply the power to train Holy Knights, but the cornerstone of all legitimacy that maintained order in this world..
But what if that holy law disappears? It was obvious that the aftermath would be beyond words..
Oliver didn't know this either. Rather, I knew it very well..
Nevertheless, Oliver responded as if it had nothing to do with him..
Because it's good now. I just didn't want to get involved. from all these problems.
Wow······.
At that time, I felt a familiar grip on the hem of my pants..
It was Merlin.
He crawled over with his broken body and lifted his head, weakly grabbing the hem of Oliver's pants with his only left hand..
Then he raised his blood-covered face and silently begged Oliver..
Like when I first begged Oliver in the dungeon..
‘However, it still rains so shamelessly. please······. Please don't abandon us..’
Perhaps because of his injury or because of his own sins, Merlin could not bring himself to open his mouth, but he asked Oliver once again..
Please don't abandon them.
However, Oliver's empty eyes as he looked at Merlin did not return, and his answer did not change either..
“······I can't do it.”
Oliver said. He doesn't intend to kill anyone with his own hands, but he doesn't necessarily intend to help either..
Oliver once again nailed that heartless, cold fact to Merlin's face..
Because this was the best he could do.
I can't bear to kill him, but I also can't help him because of the sin I see before my eyes..
As a result, Merlin's expression, who was not afraid even when the gates of hell were opened and did not despair even when he faced Oliver with a broken shell and a woman on a camel, collapsed..
This was the worst outcome that Merlin had tried to avoid at all costs. However, there was no light of resentment to be found in such despair and fear..
Because Merlin knew. Oliver too-
[You seem to be very tired. You are a precious being..]
Instead of going to the pond containing the sacred law and performing her duties, the woman on the camel still stood in front of Oliver and spoke to him..
Considering that he came to retrieve the sacred law under orders, his attitude is quite relaxed..
Oliver pointed this out..
“Didn't you say you came to retrieve the sacred law??”
[Yes, I did..]
“But why are you still standing in front of me??”
[Why rush when you can take it at any time? I have to go back when I finish my mission. You should enjoy it a little bit. This is a very important attitude. If you don't have something to enjoy, the long years will be so boring and arduous that you'll want to die. Above all······.]
The woman on the camel paused for a moment..
[Publicly I came for a mission, but privately I came to meet you..]
The woman on the camel looked at Oliver and smiled..
There was affection in that smile..
The affection that seems to be looking at a special child.
Oliver, who was actually involved, only reacted indifferently..
“Everyone seems to be very interested in me..”
[We are all very interested in you. To the extent of watching you be born, grow, and live.]
“You must have been watching that for a long time..”
[Not necessarily. Because time is relative. However, I cannot deny that it was a meaningful time. Everyone, including me, watched you with great concentration. Although the evaluations were divided.]
The woman on the camel confessed. The 72 monarchs who rule Hell have been watching Oliver all this time, and their evaluations of him are divided..
[Some people just feel sorry for you, some admire you, some like you, and apart from that, there are some who have not yet acknowledged it. For your information, I tend to like you..]
It sounded like something important, but Oliver showed no reaction..
I just hoped that the woman on the camel would finish what she had to say and go back..
But that thought was shattered by her next statement:.
[So I'm telling you this, do you want to feel more comfortable??]
“······.”
“······?!!”
With those words, the light came back into Oliver's eyes that had lost their light, and Merlin, who was lying dead in front of Oliver, flinched as if in a fit..
Because I instinctively knew what the hidden meaning of those words was..
It was Oliver who reacted first..
“that word······. Are you serious??”
[Although it is beyond my authority, he will understand. Because you know how unfair and terrible the burden is for you to bear in the first place. Above all, I wouldn't have even brought this up if I didn't allow it..]
“Something sounds contradictory..”
[Didn't I tell you? I like contradictions. Contradiction is the law that forms the foundation of this world... What would you do? I will fulfill your wish. you deserve it.]
The woman on the camel extended her huge arms and promised.
He said that if Oliver would just nod his head, he would give him the rest he desired. It was an incredibly sweet offer..
“Kwaeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Wow!············!!”
The only one who was opposed to the proposal was Merlin, who tried to stop Oliver by making a screech that made it hard to believe that he was a dying person..
Actually, Oliver didn't listen because he was seriously contemplating the sweet offer..
The hand of the woman on the camel was getting closer, and as he watched the hand getting closer, Oliver tried to make a decision. Easy decision. Just as she was about to nod her head.
The high, dark night sky was colored with light..
The light was so beautiful that even Oliver and the woman on the camel raised their heads..
Then a flash of light fell from among the lights and blocked the space between Oliver and the woman on the camel..
grasp!
It was Joanna with wings on her back..
“oliver······.”
***
The dark night sky as if the darkness had gathered together.
The middle of the night sky was colored with light, and a flash of light fell between Oliver and the woman on the camel..
The light that fell to the ground exploded harmlessly, removing the surrounding darkness for a moment, and Oliver closed his eyes and opened them again at the intense light..
and could see.
Joanna with wings on her back.
She blocked the woman on the camel with wings made of light and turned her head back to look at Oliver..
“oliver······.”
As if checking to see if everything is okay..
Oliver also looked at Joanna like that..
Joanna became a winged person.
Joanna looked like a crow with colorful feathers on her body..
Joanna became the angelic son that the hard-liners in the Paterism wanted to make. No, in this case she is a daughter?
Anyway, Oliver looked at Joanna, who was carrying her wings while overdoing it..
[It's fun.]
The woman on the camel extended her withdrawn hand again and said to Joanna:.
The hand of the woman on the camel, with the arms of the nuns intertwined, tried to grasp Joanna.,
At that time, Joanna turned her gaze forward and spread her wings made of light, emitting an intense light..
A more brilliant light that is different from the Bonifa of the past.,
[Hoo······?]
The startled sound of a woman riding a camel spread around..
That's because her arms, made up of nuns' arms, were on fire..
The devil's arm. It didn't end there.
Joanna emitted intense light and burned the arm of the woman on the camel. She held the light in her hand and created a mace made of light, which she swung to attack the woman on the camel..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
An unusually loud sound, like a giant bell ringing, erupted from the hill, and a woman on a camel flew far back..
Goooooooong······!
The camel carrying the woman stopped, emitting a bizarre howl through the nuns' vocal cords, and everyone around them watched in fascination..
Both priests and paladins, weighed down by their own sins, were robbed of their consciousness by Joanna, who stood up to the devil..
That miracle-like appearance.
In an uncomfortable silence that made my throat itch. The lady on her camel waved her hand in the air and put out her light and she looked at her arm.
Burned and scorched by the light, his arm was broken while blocking a mace made with holy magic..
The woman on the camel looked at her arm with a surprised expression and then threw a strange smile at Joanna..
[That's amazing. I think he absorbed his blood, but I didn't know there were people who could digest it..]
she said. Joanna absorbed her holy blood and made it her own..
It is said that a paladin who lost his sacred power absorbed a more holy power and descended as a shield to block the devil..
Exciting.
Exciting.
Exciting.
[No, it's not that strange, is it? I don't know everything about him either. Anyway, it's amazing. amazing. Accepting his blood is not an ordinary thing, and it is not about strength or weakness... Do you want to protect him so much??]
The woman on the camel asked, looking at Oliver behind Joanna as if she could see everything..
[Ah, so lovely... It's really lovely. It's so great. Normally, it would be difficult for you. What kind of feelings should I have?-]
“-Go back.”
Joanna said, spreading her huge wings made of light..
This created a curtain between Oliver and the woman on the camel..
“Just go back to where you came from. Then I won't attack you anymore.”
[Are you threatening me now??]
“I'm warning you..”
[Whether it's a warning or a threat, it's something that only the stronger side would do..]
“Paladins do not act based on strength. We act through right and wrong..”
[That's great. But I'm curious, did you act like that? Did you act solely based on right and wrong, rather than your own circumstances and strength? Have you never once turned a blind eye to injustice??]
A woman riding a camel asked a question that paralyzed Seonghwangsi-guk..
Demonstrating the power to force out the dark truth stored in one's heart, regardless of one's will..
At that moment, a small movement occurred in Joanna’s body..
grasp-!
Her wings made of light fluttered and her figure disappeared in an instant, then reappeared in front of the woman on the camel..
Using wings made of light, they moved at a speed that even the eye could not follow, and it felt so natural, as if they had been born with wings..
Joanna swung the mace made of light once again and attacked the woman on the camel.,
The woman on the camel distorted space to try to deflect Joanna's attack..
Ppajik······!!!
But what is this? Even though she distorted space itself, Joanna's mace did not cut through the air, but stopped and stood in front of the woman on her camel, seemingly blocked by her shield..
Attacking the fundamentals beyond the distorted space.
A crack appeared in the air between the mace made of light and the distorted space, and through the crack Joanna confessed her sins to the woman on the camel..
“I've been ignored····!”
There was a time when I used my younger brothers as an excuse to forget my duty as a Holy Knight and turn my head away from injustice..
Like everyone else, I revealed the dark truth. The difference was that in Joanna's case, she spoke out of sheer will, rather than unwillingly due to her power..
The woman on the camel was also not unaware of this fact..
[Hoo······. Do I really need to say it??]
“Because being silent doesn't mean it goes away... Also, just because you committed a sin in the past doesn't mean you shouldn't do the right thing today.!”
Joanna shouted and tightened her hand holding the mace..
The woman on the camel responded with a different smile than before and made a staff made of spines in her hand..
[This is why I can't hate people.]
When the woman on the camel swung her staff, Joanna was thrown away and a crack appeared in the air..
The crack that appeared was about to break the air and attack Joanna, and at this time, Joanna spewed light from her wings to reconnect the broken air and swung her mace..
Everyone was riveted by the fight, and Oliver was no exception..
At that time, someone came up behind Oliver and spoke to him..
“hey.”
A familiar voice. I turned my head and saw Kevin, a wizard with red skin and black hair, standing there..
Covered in dust, he looked at Oliver and Merlin who had collapsed in front of him and said:.
“If you don't have anything to do, I'll get out of the way.?”
