Genius Warlock - Genius Warlock chapter 241
241. Mother Bathory (2)
Mother Bathory has finished introducing herself.
Oliver cast a warming spell on Wallace, then turned around and responded.
“·····hello. My name is Xenon Bright, a personal staff member of the professor at Matap. It is an honor to meet you.”
Oliver greeted him with courtesy, as he had learned from the angels’ housekeepers.
The response was not bad as the employees’ efforts were not in vain.
“Did you get a good greeting?”
“I learned from kind people.”
“I learned a lot, but to have a real example, you have to use your real name, not a pseudonym.”
“What’s your real name?”
“Yeah, there’s no way a single employee could freely manipulate the magic of various attributes and use a mixture of emotions and magical powers, right?”
“ah····. Were you watching?”
“Wherever there is blood, I can see it.”
Bathory raised her hand at the same time as she answered, and the ice turned red, illuminating all corners of the lab.
“Awesome.”
“The uncle is A man’s father is sick. Can I hear your real name more than that?”
Oliver thought for a moment.
“Well····. I’m really sorry, Batori-sama. I don’t think I can answer that question.”
“Oh, they say all the men in the kingdom are gentlemen, so I must have been lying. When a woman asks, you don’t reveal your identity. Very sad.”
“I’m really sorry. Thank you for your understanding. It’s not just me.”
“It’s not just a problem… Does that mean someone helped you? So that I can get a job at the tower? If you hire a Warlock at the Magic Tower, it won’t be a normal position… is it the minimum level of a Master?”
Based on Oliver’s remarks, Bathory showed sharp reasoning skills.
Oliver only answered with silence.
“ha ha ha····. I guess I got the answer right. Don’t worry too much. I’m just curious about who you are. I didn’t mean to trouble you.”
“Are you?”
“Yes, there are some warlocks who use magic secretly, but very few use a mixture of emotion and magic. Especially like you… Where did you learn it?”
“I learned black magic from my master, but I learned to use a mixture of magic and emotions myself.”
“myself?”
“Yes.”
Bathory gave a startled reaction and looked at Oliver.
I was trying to figure out if it was a lie or a fact, but unfortunately I couldn’t tell.
Oddly enough, Oliver wasn’t emotionally agitated, so it wasn’t easy to understand what was going on.
So, Bathory spat out a mixture of abu and provocation in order to shake Oliver.
“…a great talent. To learn such a skill on your own, if that saying is true, then you must have an amazing talent. If true, that is.”
“Is that so?”
“Then, the skill you will be using is neither magic nor black magic, but a higher level skill than that. As proof of that, your flame transcended the rules of magic and killed my daughters in an instant, didn’t you?”
That was true.
In fact, it wasn’t because of their lack of skills or stupidity that the female warlocks suffered in vain.
It was simply that Oliver was too ignorant.
It was not enough to approach using a puddle of blood that could not be used by anyone other than the Bathory family, and burning fire, which uses even ice magic as firewood, was an attack that completely deviated from conventional wisdom.
Even those who are far superior to the female warlocks can’t help but be defeated.
Is that so? Bathory’s feelings were gradually dyed with greed.
It was a feeling I had never seen before. When Oliver confronts the cook in Zone X.
The cook tried to eat Oliver, coveting Oliver’s talents and talents.
“Thank you for the compliment. However, Bathory-sama’s blood magic also uses a mixture of emotion and magic, so it’s not surprising, isn’t it?”
“Thanks for the compliment, but it’s not.”
“Is that so?”
“No way. As you said, my blood magic uses a mixture of emotion and magic, but it has to be through blood. Even after studying for a long time and stealing the talents of many people. There are limits.”
Bathory’s words were sincere. Especially the last part.
“If it’s okay with you, can I ask a question too?”
“However much.”
Oliver asked as he looked down at the ice-covered floor.
“I am asking this question because I do not understand. Why did you attack the School of Life Lab? I heard your daughters say it is a cooperative relationship with the School of Life.”
“Exactly, it was a cooperative relationship.”
“Did you have a cooperative relationship?”
“okay. The Biology School deceived me. I hate being deceived more than anyone.”
Bathory was sincere. A sincere feeling of hatred.
“What did you deceive?”
“He offered me a deal because he got some interesting blood. They are blood, I know. Let’s exchange like this. I was intrigued, so I accepted, but to my surprise, they gave me fake blood. And using the blood magic that I taught you.”
“ah·····.”
“So I came here to get my fair share. I heard that they were researching ‘that blood’ here.”
Bathory ended the story with a smile, but Oliver could feel her anger.
He seemed really angry.
“So, did you find what you were looking for?”
“no. I can’t see if I’m one step late.”
“Then why didn’t you just go and kidnap the other lab staff and the local residents?”
“I’ve come at the most, can’t I go back empty-handed? A chicken instead of a pheasant, I’ll have to get something else. Research materials from the School of Life, corpses, hides, fresh blood, etc…. If you’re lucky, you might meet interesting people like you. ah! Are you going to criticize me for kidnapping people?”
Bathory made a hypocritical gesture as if surprised, and then asked.
Oliver denied it.
“No, because I am not worthy of that. I was just curious and asked a question.”
“Ah, I’m glad then.”
“If it’s okay with you, can I make a suggestion?”
“Tell me.”
“Even though I didn’t get what Bathory-sama wanted, it seems that you have gathered enough materials, corpses, and blood from the School of Life, can you please step back?”
“Oh my, is that okay? What happened to the staff at the tower?”
“I was sent to find out what’s going on here, not to fight Batory-sama.”
Bathory was interested.
“Well, frankly, it’s not a bad proposition. I’d like to eat more, but it won’t hurt to step back from this level. However, it is sad that all of my daughters died because of you and your colleagues. I want to be compensated for this sadness. What do you think?”
“I’m sorry, but Bathory-sama, aren’t you sad?”
Oliver said, reading Bathory’s feelings. Bathory’s feelings of losing the female warlocks were closer to regret than sorrow.
It’s like losing a useful tool. It was never sad.
“No, sad. How much effort does it take to create each of those children one by one and make them trust and follow me as a mother. It’s also a job to point to black magic and magic… More than anything.”
“What?”
“Right now, there is a material I so covet right in front of my eyes, wouldn’t it be too bad to just step away?”
With those words, Bathory spread magic power and manipulated the surrounding ice to blow out huge icicles.
Oliver used the shadow tentacles to block the flying icicles, and at the same time stretched the shadows down to the bottom of the Bathory to make a shadow stake.
Pop! Bathory pierced from the bottom up with a sound.
Then, Bathory, who was pierced by the shadow stake, gradually lost its color, and eventually turned into a doll of hard ice covered with blood.
A kind of trickery that mixes ice magic and blood magic.
Bathory, who hid himself, enchanted the ice to see if he took any damage, and icicles flew towards Oliver. from all sides.
Without panicking, Oliver used his shadow tentacles to defend himself from attacks from all directions, and also fired bullets of rage at a spot he had noticed in advance.
[Wrath Bullet]
The bullets of hatred containing the bombs of rage flew quickly and landed on the ice floor, and after a while, they caused quite a few explosions.
With the explosion sound that shook the inside, the ice grains colored the surroundings white like dust, and the attack from all directions stopped for a moment.
A woman with him appeared. It was none other than Bathory.
“How did you know I was here?”
“Because that part looks a little bit different.”
“Your eyes are good… I like it even more.”
Bathory did not get angry even though her stomach was found by the blue baby boy, but rather showed satisfaction.
The greed for Oliver grew stronger.
Oliver sensed that a fight was inevitable, and he took a stance. Bathory smiled mischievously.
“Are you okay?”
Oliver turned back to look at Wallace with a sly gleaming smile.
Wallace was half eaten by the ice that was moved by magic.
“If you resist even a little, your comrades-”
-[Chorus fire]
***
Oliver created a black flame by mixing magic and emotion before Bathory could even finish speaking.
The fire, which was made to consume magical power, ignoring the laws of magic, swallowed up the ice scattered everywhere, grew in size, and covered the space in an instant.
Kwahwahwahwahwahwahwahahahahang Port ━━━━!!!!
Thanks to this, a huge wall of flames was formed between Oliver and Bathory, and Oliver took the gap and took Wallace out.
He was caught up in the fire, but luckily Wallace was able to get out of the ice with only a few burns.
Oliver took out a piece of paper from his bosom, enchanted it with magical power, and activated the stored magic. Just opened the portal.
The portal opened to the safest of the Chimera Labs, and Oliver threw Wallace into the portal to evacuate, then extracted his emotions and wrapped three layers of black suits around his body.
Having completed the minimum preparations, he now controls the rampant fire and subdues Bathory-
━━━━ Absolutely!!!
The sound of ripping the air.
The blood that had been lodged in the ice didn’t catch on fire, but in response to Bathory’s will, it turned into a red blade and split the air.
Surprisingly, the blade of blood not only cut away the fire, but it also neutralized it.
As evidence of that, the black flame, which had no substance, disappeared with a distinctive roar.
“It was pretty hot.”
Bathory, who was engulfed in the fire, said as he walked out of the flame.
It wasn’t a lie to say that it was hot, but he suffered terrible burns all over his body, but that was only for a short time.
After absorbing the blood floating in the air, she returned to her original form.
“Can you manipulate blood that way?”
“only me. And you seem to be able to use Spatial School magic too?”
“Is it because you are practicing?”
“Do you like it even more? Even judgment.”
With those words, Bathory moved his fingers to shoot the blade of blood that had extinguished the greedy fire at Oliver.
