Genius Warlock-Episode 699
699. promise (4)
Damn it······.
The staff with all the holy laws of the world gathered together was incontinent..
Everyone forgot to breathe and looked at the cane with their eyes wide open..
The only thought on their minds was ‘No way’..
Priests, Paladins, Joanna, Kevin and even demons.
The only word that came to mind was ‘no way’..
why? Because it was extremely common sense..
Holy Law, the great power that maintains order in the world. Cracking the staff that holds the Holy Law together would be similar to the sky collapsing..
Something that cannot or cannot happen.
Therefore, even when they saw it with their own eyes, they had no choice but to doubt it and say, ‘No way.’.
However, as if to ridicule those doubts, at Oliver's single word, the power bestowed upon him by God's beloved son made an indescribable sound and was completely shattered..
···························!!!
As the selfish light that had been coloring the surroundings into darkness shattered and disappeared like smoke, other ordinary lights hidden by the Holy Law regained their brilliance and the world returned to its original appearance..
The surrounding light and scenery slowly returning.
In the midst of it all, a woman on a camel who had lost her staff flailed in the air, and the priests and paladins were astonished and covered their mouths, which were widened to the limit, with both hands..
Like people who saw something they shouldn't have seen.
No, it's not like, maybe it's something I really shouldn't see..
Because the order that maintained the order of the world until now, and the divine power that is nothing short of proof that God loves humans, has been broken and disappeared..
It's ridiculously easy..
sadness? Shocked? anger? I could only feel terrible confusion, not knowing what emotions I should feel..
Indeed, what emotions should humans feel when the earth disappears and the sky falls??
It was no different from Joanna and Kevin, who were not afraid of even the devil and fought bravely..
The only person who was unfazed by the sight of the broken law was Oliver, the person who broke the law with just one word..
He looked up at the woman on the camel, brushing back her bleached hair that had become matted by the gust of wind..
The woman on the camel looked silently at the hand that held the sacred law and repeatedly squeezed and unfolded it..
Beyond seeing it with your own eyes, it's like you can't believe what just happened even though you've experienced it..
It was a while later that she opened her mouth..
[······How did you do it??]
The woman on the camel asked what she was most curious about..
How did you break the sacred law?.
Oliver answered like his past self..
“Woman on a camel, I just saw you and imitated you..”
At those words, the woman on the camel made a mysterious expression..
Surprise, admiration, doubt, reverence. Surprisingly, that expression gave the devil a human-like feel for a moment..
Through the existence of Oliver.
Just as the woman on the camel was about to say something, Oliver spoke a little faster..
“In this way you have failed.”
The woman on the camel swallowed her words and listened to Oliver's argument..
“You said you came to retrieve the holy law under someone's command, but as you can see, you failed. Because the holy law has been broken... Is there something I said wrong??”
[no. You said it very accurately..]
The woman riding the camel admitted coolly..
Oliver continued:.
“In that case, you should go back now. Your official duties have already yielded results. There is no reason to be here anymore... Is there anything wrong with what I said??”
[no. Again, you are right. No matter the outcome, it makes sense to go back once official duties are over. However, I feel sad that it has to go back like this..]
“Should I at least apologize to you??”
Oliver asked, looking straight at the woman on the camel..
Firmness was evident in the tone, which was quite different from the past..
The woman on the camel also shook her head with a slightly different smile..
That smile contained not only goodwill toward Oliver, but also respect. A more serious respect..
[no. It was my negligence and arrogance that caused me to fail in my mission. It's never something for you to apologize for. In the first place, you don't need to apologize no matter what you do..]
Oliver listened quietly..
[However, what can I say? I'm curious. If I don't go back to this and keep doing what I was doing,······.]
The woman on the camel frowned and looked around at the people, priests and paladins..
Of course they too saw a woman on a camel..
She seemed weaker than before, perhaps because she had lost her camel's head, but even so, she felt so scared that it was difficult to even breathe..
What the woman on the camel lost was the camel's head, but they themselves lost the sacred law and faith..
A sword and shield that can at least stand against the devil..
On the other hand, the devil's presence remained the same. Even without the Holy Law, the Holy Emperor could be erased from this world..
Then she continued speaking.
[······What are you going to do? Are you planning on going to the extra trouble to stop me here??]
Oliver did not immediately answer the malicious question of the woman on the camel, but turned around and looked around..
Kevin and Joanna's stamina declined, but their will did not break. And the priests and paladins who lost their faith and courage due to the loss of the Holy Law..
When they made eye contact with Oliver, who broke the castle law, most of them felt fear and avoided their gaze..
Oliver turned his head again to the woman on the camel..
“well······. I don't know. Because I don’t know how I feel either. It's a bit weird that I'm not sleeping, but now that I'm sleeping, I wonder if I, the woman on the camel, will be able to stop you..”
Oliver declared. Even her own strength was too much to stop the woman on the camel..
“However, one thing is certain.”
[Please tell me.]
A woman on a camel raises her hand as the arms of the nuns intertwine..
Despite that, Oliver responded with the same attitude..
“I would be very, very disappointed if you only acted on your own whim even after the mission was over..”
[······.]
“The woman on the camel, not just you, but all of you. I think it would be really disappointing..”
Oliver, who always made neutral remarks without confirming because he did not give up the assumption that his mind could change and that he could be wrong, rarely confirmed..
So that anyone who hears it can tell that it is sincere. Is it thanks to that? A woman riding her camel gently lowered one of her raised arms.
[You're better at scaring people than I thought..]
“I'm not scared, I'm sincere..”
[If so, you're even more intimidated..]
The woman on the camel said that and smiled..
Oliver seemed to know what that smile meant, so he didn't bother to question it any further. Instead, check by asking.
“Then, would you please leave like this??”
[Yes, because I'm scared of being hated by you. Instead, there are conditions. I'm too embarrassed to leave like this..]
Everyone looked at the woman on the camel at the unexpected remark..
Oliver asked calmly..
“What are the conditions?”
[Next time you get a chance to meet me, would you treat me to some good drinks and food? I like food from this world, but I rarely get a chance to eat it..]
I don't know if it's a joke or sincere. However, Oliver nodded his head..
If good wine and food are the price for the devil to quietly retreat, it couldn't be cheaper..
Oliver nodded and answered, and the headless camel sat down, folding its legs made up of the nun's limbs..
When the camel sat down, the woman on it came down to the ground with her own two feet..
For the first time. That one action showed her respect and acceptance for Oliver..
56The woman on the camel, made up of seven nuns, was so tall that she had to raise her head high even though she was coming down from under the camel, so she knelt down on one knee right in front of Oliver so that they were at eye level as much as possible..
Thanks to that, Oliver was able to lower his head a little..
“What do you have to say??”
[Do you remember your promise? You are a precious being..]
The woman on the camel asked. promise.
At those words, a burnt-out person flashed through Oliver's mind..
As if reading his thoughts, the woman on the camel opened her mouth..
[Luckily, I guess you remember. You asked him to do it. Please don't burn down the city built on sin..]
Oliver confirmed silently. Obviously, it was. A request I was able to make because I was ignorant. Oliver once again felt the weight of those words..
[Instead, you promised. never. I will explore ways to cleanse the terrible sins that will not go away using methods other than fire..]
Oliver was silent once again, wondering..
Is there really a way to cleanse away sins other than fire??
I didn't know then, but I don't know even more now..
I couldn't imagine if there was a way to cleanse the world of its terrible sins other than turning them into ashes and dust with fire..
Because sin never just goes away. Anyone's sin.
The woman on the camel opened her mouth again..
[Personally, I think you are right. Precious being. Cleansing away sins with fire is a happy and enjoyable thing, but as you said, it leaves nothing behind. but.]
The woman on the camel took a pause. To emphasize the following statement:.
[No matter how right something is, if you don't have the ability and will to put it into practice, it's as good as nothing. That's why we keep quiet. There is nothing as ugly as empty words..]
Oliver was silent again. Anticipating what's coming next.
Expectations were not wrong.
[But you have once again declared that you will fulfill your promise. Instead of getting comfortable, I will take the thorny path..]
Oliver closed his eyes. Because he knew what he meant. Because he knew the weight.
A stomach-churning burden and a weight that felt like it would break his shoulders tormented Oliver..
“I am-”
[You will be in great pain and exhaustion..]
promise? prophecy? I don't know what it was, but those words came from the mouth of the woman riding her camel..
[Maybe even more than now. But whatever the outcome, I support you and will watch..]
The woman on the camel respectfully raised her hand made up of the arms of the nuns.
[I hope you become a great being as promised. So please accept this subtle blessing..]
An unknown prayer flowed from the mouth of a woman riding a camel..
Oliver did not accept the prayer or blessing, nor did he reject it, but just looked at the woman on the camel..
After a while, the prayer from the mouth of the woman on the camel ended, and she stood up..
Then he looked around and declared. As if putting an end to work.
[The end is coming.]
With that declaration, the body of the woman riding the camel, made up of 56 nuns, collapsed and turned into a pile of corpses, and the morning sun rose and illuminated the ruined city..
