Genius Warlock-Episode 72
"someone is coming.”
With that one word, Murphy instinctively sensed something was wrong and gave a hand signal to his surrounding subordinates..
Perhaps thanks to the fact that many of them were former veterans, they moved in an orderly manner with just a light hand gesture, and as if they had been trained in advance, they spread a warning signal to the surrounding area..
"Red light! Red light! Everyone to their own positions!”
The sound of guns being loaded along with the sound of running could be heard everywhere..
Even though he was the leader, Murphy also took off his shirt and picked up the knife and pistol in his arms..
Although he was a relatively simple weapon, it was sufficient considering his physical abilities..
The term 'modified human being' is not in vain, as he has physical abilities that are completely different from those of ordinary people. However, despite this, he did not let go of his tension..
As if you know that there are many strong people in the world..
"Who is coming? Warlock.”
"wait a minute.”
Oliver said, concentrating on one eye that was closed..
I placed minions one by one at a few hundred meters around the warehouse, and the minions caught something..
Oliver synchronized his vision to the minion who sent the signal and continued to check what was around him..
Because it was late at night, there were not as many people as during the day, but you could still see workers, vagrants, and beggars sleeping in the corner of the factory..
"No, no, not this person..... Ah!”
Oliver saw something. Someone was moving quickly in this direction on a building near the warehouse..
Surprisingly, there was only one person, and he was emitting magical energy as powerful as lightning from his entire body..
I've seen that type of magic before..
Lightning wizard who attacked Weinham.
Very similar to him, he had the evil intention of attacking this place..
But surprisingly, there was no tension or fear. Even though we have to fight against gangs..
Rather, he was happy. Like a child going on a picnic.
Beneath that happy feeling was an endless confidence that was difficult to describe. An abnormal level of confidence.
"One intruder. He's a wizard.”
"A wizard?! one person?”
Murphy asked, puzzled..
It is true that the wizard is a threat, but even so, it was very strange that he came alone..
"what? Weren't you here to rescue Herberton? Did you just come here with the intention of blowing it all up??”
"No, that won't be it..”
"yes?”
"I'm not sure, but given the amount of horsepower, it doesn't seem like they're here to blow up this big warehouse. Is it a bit scary? Even if they came to destroy the warehouse, I think I could do something while gathering my magical power. I've placed some test tubes over there too, so don't worry too much..”
"......."
Murphy looked at Oliver in surprise. Oliver looked at Murphy and asked.
“…? If I make any mistake?”
"Oh, no… So what can I do??”
"well. This is the second time I fight a wizard... . huh?”
Oliver shouted again..
Because my emotions suddenly increased..
Apparently, the wizard who came into the building was alone, but when he took out an object imbued with magical power and activated it, magical energy suddenly condensed in the air, and more wizards appeared around that place..
"The number of wizards has increased. three people.”
"yes?!”
"Some kind of magical device was activated and it appeared out of thin air. Do you know what it is?”
"Empty… ? They're probably from the space school. crazy! Why are they here?…?”
"this.…”
"why what..…?”
Murphy asked urgently, but Oliver couldn't answer..
This is because the situation was urgent, and one of the wizards suddenly spread magical energy around the warehouse like a thread..
Although it did not cause direct damage, the subtle magic disappeared when it collided with buildings, obstacles, and people, and in the process, the information was passed on to the magician..
It was quite surprising. I thought magical power was just gunpowder that exerts enormous fire power, but it can be used in this way..
However, the admiration is short-lived.
As soon as he figured out the location and number of people in the warehouse, the wizard began to condense magical power into one hand..
The amount was quite large, but it was quite dangerous..
I've seen that type of magic in the past..
‘magic missile…….'
"Attack is coming.”
"Everyone take cover! enemies attack!”
Murphy shouted, but honestly it was meaningless. When I saw the concentrated magic power, it seemed like it was some kind of bomb..
It was not possible to block it with walls or boxes..
Are you really planning on blowing up the whole place??
At that time, a change occurred in magical power..
It was a bit difficult for Oliver, who had no professional training, to express, but if I had to explain it anyway, the gathered magical energy was divided into dozens..
The shell was changed to a thicker bullet, and at that time, the wizard used additional magic..
Targeting the point where the magic missile was fired.
It was similar to Oliver's targeting, but whereas Oliver targeted people directly, the wizard targeted people's location coordinates..
I wondered if there was a need to do that..
“..…It would be inefficient?”
"yes? Where should the warlock hide?.….”
"it's okay. can be prevented.”
“yes…..?”
With Murphy's answer, the wizard fired a magic missile from a building hundreds of meters away..
Unlike the magic missiles I've seen in the past, the colors didn't stand out, so it was difficult to visually determine where they were being fired, but fortunately this wasn't a big problem..
The enemy wizard told me in advance where to shoot..
Just- just- [Black Shield]
As I pounded the floor with the quarter staff, the test tubes planted around the building reacted to the black magic circle and expressed their emotions..
Then, as per Oliver's will, it turned into a black curtain and effectively blocked all the incoming magic missiles..
Teudong! Paang——! Tong—! Told——! pop-! puff——!
The black shield was not pierced, but as expected, it was quite powerful..
Most likely, any coverings such as walls, boxes, or rebar would have been breached..
Murphy said as he looked at the magic missile that exploded in the air, blocked by the black shield. I don't know why, but he seemed quite shocked..
“....Did you stop it??”
"Maybe?”
"......"
"I don't think we should let down our guard yet. I think it only made the wizards more motivated..”
That was true. The wizard whose attack was blocked was indignant, and the other wizards laughed at it..
Everyone still seemed relaxed, but Oliver wondered what on earth they had prepared to be so relaxed..
Are you confident that you are a wizard? Well, unlike the magic power generated by the body on its own, there is a clear limit to how much it can be used by warlocks..
Although there was still a lot of emotion left, it was clear that if things continued like this, Oliver would lose. I had to join as quickly as possible and see the outcome..
‘But the question is, how do you do it?.’
The indignant wizard regained his composure and fired a large number of magic missiles again..
Unlike before, the firepower was greatly reduced and it was not targeted, but the number of bullets was much higher, and Oliver deployed the black shield as before to defend the warehouse..
I wasn't able to block all of them because I couldn't predict the RBI, but there were no problems so far..
It was then.
Clang-! Pak 1!
A small sound was heard, different from the magic missile..
Mixed in with the pouring magic missiles, an unidentified object entered the warehouse..
It looked like an arrow, with a copper exterior and blue magic stones embedded in the middle..
"That is..…?”
The moment I had a question, the magic stone began to shine and emit powerful magical power..
The output was quite high, and along with it, a small crack appeared in the air, and someone appeared through it..
He was one of the wizards on top of the building earlier..
He came over here in an instant through that unidentified object..
"Hello everyone?! Nice to meet you, search through everything.!!”
A huge explosion occurred around him along with a loud shout..
An explosion of pure magic, not flame..
The speed of activation and the power of the magic were considerable, so the guards nearby were unable to react and flew back and forth..
"Where's the warlock?! I heard they brought a pretty interesting guy... ! He’s a really fun guy, right?! Let me see your face-!!”
His actions were just as belligerent as his emotions..
He unleashed his vast magical power without even resting! Boom! pop-! It exploded, destroying not only the security guard but also the box wall..
Thanks to this, the warehouse was a mess as if it had been bombed, and our troops were in a state of panic as magic missiles flew through the hole in the wall..
Wave offensive using firepower and vast magical power.
Once I started stopping them as the guards said, it seemed like they were stopping me endlessly..
In the end, the worse Murphy said:.
"Warlock. Deploy your shield and continue to defend the warehouse. I'll somehow catch that bomb maniac-”
Oliver caught Murphy as he tried to move and stopped him..
"Warlock?”
"I'll take care of this. Mr. Murphy, please take the others and leave behind..”
"yes?”
Oliver did not answer Murphy's question, but instead used black magic..
[Creepy Scream]
[las boom]
Then, an explosion sounded from afar along with a scream that was not human..
Kyaayayayayayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!!!!!
pop——!
The test tubes planted near the wizards who were attacking from a distance with magic missiles were activated, but their fighting spirit was broken, and the wizards were hit and staggered by the brain-shaking roar and explosion of anger..
Long-distance shooting stopped with him..
Meanwhile, Oliver decided to deal with the explosion wizard who was causing a stir in the warehouse..
"Now that we have time, Mr. Murphy, please take your staff and protect the magic workshop. I will deal with the wizard. That's what I'm comfortable with.”
Murphy looked surprised, but quickly came to his senses and immediately complied with Oliver's words..
I instinctively knew what choice to make..
"Part 2! Everyone go to the designated location!”
As soon as the order was given, the gangsters who had been struggling began to run away in perfect order..
The wizard who was supposed to be causing a commotion inside shouted in panic..
"Where is everyone!? You should play with me!!”
[imprison]
Oliver used dark magic again.
A test tube planted near the place where the explosion wizard ran rampant spewed out emotions, and the emotions turned into mud, covering the explosion wizard and imprisoning him..
It was a black magic that I had only used once when fighting a paladin in the past, but contrary to my expectations, it was quite disappointing..
I could barely use it, but I was confident I could redeem whatever I used at the time, but this one was so poor that it was a piece of work compared to it..
‘But it's not my feelings?’
As if to actually prove this, the explosion wizard tried to escape from the restraints with only his vast amount of magic power and firepower without any technique..
"Something like this... ! Something like this……!!”
It looked like the restraints would be lifted over time, but Oliver had no intention of waiting quietly. he used black magic.
[black suit ver.. 2]
[burning life]
Wearing armor made of vitality and emotions, burning vitality indirectly improved overall physical abilities..
Oliver seemed to have changed into a different person and closed the distance with the wizard with great speed..
"This kind of trick...!!”
Bubbling bubbling———!
The explosion wizard created a huge explosion and eventually broke free of his restraints..
Although he also suffered some damage, he didn't care, but the only thing in his mind was hostility towards Oliver. He was truly a warlike man..
[chain explosion]
The explosion wizard fired sensitively adjusted magic power at Oliver and then immediately exploded..
A series of explosions occurred, the scale of which was so large that it engulfed not only the section where Oliver was running but the entire surrounding area. I couldn't see any place to escape..
‘With the defense power of the black suit… . no. Then you will be hit by the next attack..’
At that moment, Oliver remembered his past fight with Knuckle Joe..
Temporarily increases power by concentrating more power on a specific area. It's probably the same principle of approaching and closing the distance in an instant..
Oliver recalled that time and focused the energy of the black suit on his legs..
And then I jumped as hard as I could..
The only thing I could do was escape into the air without being caught in the explosion, and at that moment, I made eye contact with the smiling explosion wizard..
"You idiot!”
Perhaps that was what he was aiming for in the first place, but he once again used explosive magic on Oliver, who was left defenseless in the air..
[Mana Explosion]
[targeting]
Oliver, floating in the air, targeted the wall of the building and himself and then increased the output..
Thanks to this, I was able to avoid the attack by moving towards the wall, and the wizard seemed to have not expected this, so he was taken aback and stopped thinking for a moment..
Oliver did not miss this opportunity..
Immediately, I focused my energy on my legs again and kicked the wall with all my might and rushed at the explosion wizard..
“this..…!”
The explosion wizard belatedly tried to use magic to counterattack, but this time Oliver was faster..
Before he could recite the spell, Oliver's quarter staff struck him..
Quick! With the sound, the wizard's eyes immediately turned upside down..
Just as I was about to finish it off, an attack suddenly came from far away..
[black shield]
Paba Babang——!
An attack that was narrowly blocked.
Oliver came to his senses and saw the wizards on top of the building. I don't know why, but they seemed very angry.
Well, guess what. Oliver shouted loudly..
"Mr. Murphy… … . Could you please help me for a moment??"
