Bung—-!!!
Colored in the deep, pure darkness like the sea of night, Marie approached in an instant like a flash of light and swung her long nails.
Contrary to its appearance, the five slender nails were strong enough to create wind pressure with just one swipe.
“Wow, that’s great… A normal person would be ripped apart.”
Oliver was pure admiration, neither mocking nor flattering.
It was true that Marie applied black magic to her body to strengthen her body, but after that, she didn’t use any black magic.
In other words, the story that only that unknown black magic produced that level of output.
It was pretty awesome.
It is true that if you strengthen your body with black magic, it will show power that surpasses even firearms, but in fact, it was not something that could be easily considered.

No matter how much you describe it as strengthening, in the end, the essence is disease-based black magic.It was nothing more than artificially manipulating the body and forcibly raising the power.
Therefore, compared to the relatively low introductory difficulty and intuitive effect, the conditions of use were inevitably difficult.
He had to be good at handling black magic so as not to put a burden on his body, and he had to have a strong body and vast vitality to withstand black magic.
Even if I had this, I had to have an environment where I could fully recuperate.
Otherwise, it was just a skill that devours itself.
Therefore, disease-based black magic was not suitable for people like Marina Oliver.
Aside from my black magic skills, my body is getting wet.
The fact that Oliver frequently used disease-based black magic was after he developed a shortcut called ‘black suit’ was a strong disproven.
However, Marie was not at that level.
Obviously, she used her body directly as a medium, but her body didn’t seem to have any side effects. there-
━ 👌👌👌👌 👌👌👌👌👌 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Even with a normal swing, her attacks, such as splitting the wind, cutting down trees, and leaving scars deep in rocks, far exceeded the normal level, and each one was fatal.
Oliver narrowly evaded and wrapped three layers of black suits around his body, but frankly, he doubted if he could stand it.
‘Even though it’s a normal attack that doesn’t cost much, it’s faster and more powerful than any other warlock… Looks like you stopped the auction house intruders. yes?’
Marie adjusted herself to prepare to attack Oliver, who had just dodged.
It was aimed at seeing Oliver’s avoidance pattern.
With her quick attacks and constant pressure, it was indirectly known how much chaos she had gone through.
It was really sad. A short period of time over a year or several months.
My black magic and combat skills have improved to the point where I can’t even call them the same person, but to be obsessed with useless things… Oliver felt more than regret for Marie.
‘I don’t know what it is…’
[Hat Bullet]
Oliver fired bullets of hate towards the ground.
Pavabang!!
With a light sound, dust rose high and obscured Marie’s view for a moment.
It could be said that it was of little use to a warlock who could see emotions, but he was able to stop his actions for a second or two just by suddenly creating an obstacle.
Oliver quickly spread the distance between them.
The mysterious black magic that Marie wore produced an output that was among the highest among all the disease-based black magic that Oliver had seen, and I didn’t know that it would have any additional effect.
There was no reason to maintain close combat against such an opponent.
‘First, widen the distance and slowly grasp the firearms-based black magic… huh?’
Missing Oliver, Marie tightened her nails to lengthen them slightly, and then cut down the tree.
ping!!
I can’t control my anger… It didn’t seem Her emotions were calm and at the same time extremely obsessive.
“yes?”
Oliver had no choice but to raise his eyebrows once more. Because Marie raised her hands to the tree that was about to fall.
It wasn’t a very big tree, but it wasn’t a very small tree either.
He seemed to have strengthened not only his attack power but also his strength.
It was so unnatural. Even if it is a disease type, there is a limit that can be strengthened according to basic physical performance…
It was beyond the rules of black magic that Oliver knew.
‘More than anything else, I’m similar to them… A puppet in the polluted area, an intruder in the auction house.’
Although it is black magic, it is a strange black magic that goes beyond the rules of black magic. The black magic that Marie is using now has a similar vibe to them.
[Bless]
Marie enchanted and manipulated the trees she held in both hands with black magic.
Like long nails, it was the first time I saw black magic. Was it developed by Marie, or…?
In any case, some of the emotions in Marie’s body ran through the tree, pruned the twigs, and cut it to a length suitable for throwing and machined it into a pointed end.
Quite a strange yet strange sight.
I wondered what the hell he was going to do with that, but I soon found out.
“It was a good design for throwing, but I can throw really well.”
Oliver said as he looked at the logs flying towards him.
It wasn’t negligent. Rather, Oliver focused his attention on his head as well as his eyes, thinking about how to respond.
Judging from Marie’s emotional state, it was a situation in which a chained attack would come immediately if she avoided anywhere.
In fact, she was preparing to attack, watching Oliver’s next move.
Even if I didn’t avoid it, I was prepared to act accordingly.
Whether you avoid it or not, it’s the same situation.
The only difference was whether Marie was vigilant or a little more vigilant.
After much deliberation, Oliver decided to choose the latter.
Bang–!!
Oliver swung his quarterstaff in a black suit.
Although Marie used to strengthen it with black magic, the tree is a tree.
Oliver’s attack shattered it, and numerous shards of wood flew into the air.
This obscured my vision for a moment. It was a direct application of the method used by Oliver.
“Incredible.”
Oliver slammed the bullets of hatred flying in admiration with his quarterstaff to block them.
About a dozen shots flew at a time, but it wasn’t too difficult.
However, what was surprising was that it was not just a bullet of hate, but a bullet that mixed emotions and hair.
puppet. To be precise, it was very similar to the ‘Finger Gun’ that the Puppet possessed and the corpse doll used.
The power was also similar, so the black suit worn at the end of the quarter staff came off in two and a half layers at once.
Dangerous if you keep getting hit. But this wasn’t the real attack.
It was a real target to approach in an instant without a sound or rumor.
Having secured an advantageous distance again with her unique mobility, Marie swung her claws without saying a word.
Since the attack seemed to tear even three layers of the black suit at once, Oliver concentrated half of the black suit he was wearing on the quarter staff to block Marie’s attack.
Kaang—!!!
A deafening roar echoed through the forest in the middle of the night. It was really fortunate.
Since the paladin was still searching the city, if they had fought there, they would have been disturbed.
That was difficult. One way or another, Oliver wanted to see the end with Marie.
“sorry. master! Please forgive me!!”
Marie, who had been silent until now, decided that victory or defeat had been decided, raised her opposite arm and sharpened her nail.
The part he was aiming for was Oliver’s right arm and leg, and it seemed like he was really planning to take it somehow.
“it’s okay.”
At the same time as Oliver answered, he concentrated the rest of the black suit on his right fist and hit Marie’s left shoulder with all his might.
Aww!!!!
“-!?!!”
The low, heavy sound signaled that the shoulder was broken due to breakage.
In fact, Marie couldn’t even scream in excruciating pain and leaned back like a hand on her cheek.
“The power of black magic is real, but I don’t think he learned melee combat. Learn. Firepower is not perfect.”
Oliver caught up with Marie, who retreated in pain, and swung the quarterstaff.
Marie had her long hair wrapped around her arm like a shield, but Oliver dug deeper and pierced the gap with her opposite arm, thrusting a fist into Marie’s shoulder.
Duduk-!
With the sound of a clean crack, Marie’s arms drooped.
Joe’s teachings echoed in my ears.
‘If you’re only going to scare me without killing me, it’s best to break your shoulder. It hurts so badly, and I can’t even raise my arm, so I know what it’s like to be helpless. Then you can lose.’
“Woo!”
Marie used black magic to power her long hair and wrapped it around her like a cloak.
Even pretending it wasn’t an ordinary defense.
-chin!
Oliver lashed out the quarterstaff and stabbed Marie’s cloak of hair.
His hair delicately blocked Oliver’s attacks as if he had a will, and that was not enough, so he stuck to the quarter staff like thorns and approached Oliver’s hand.
At this rate, Oliver’s hand and his entire body were about to be caught in the hair.
[Ras Boom]
Oliver concentrated his emotions on the quarter staff and exploded them.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not enough to explode Marie, but only to the point of flying cumbersome hair.With a huge explosion, Marie’s hair caught on to the quarter staff, burning and flying all over the place.
It seemed completely unexpected, considering that Marie, as well as her men, were surprised.
But Oliver didn’t care, and dug into Marie’s arms, the guards fully open.
“sorry. It will hurt a little.”
Sticky-!!!
Oliver stabbed the quarterstaff deep into Marie’s body.
It was so close to the inside that it was poured as hard as it was, so it would not be strange for an average person to have his body torn in two.
Eventually, unable to hold her strength, Marie flew away with a terrible squat in the center of her body.
Oliver thought that was not enough, so he shot two bullets of hate in each of the legs of Marie as they flew away.
Lay down in bed for a while and think about it.
Pub-!
Pub-!
With two wide holes in her thighs, Marie fell flat on the ground.
It looked like a broken doll, with limbs bent in the direction they shouldn’t be.
I thought it was a bit too much, but Oliver quickly turned his attention and approached Marie.
“I think I won.”
“big····. Big…. Knock it!”
Marie makes bizarre sounds like a real broken doll. I felt like I could die if I didn’t have any luck.
Well, then it’s unavoidable. Oliver did his job again.
“I accepted Marie’s request. If you can take it by force, try it. But it failed.”
Marie looked up at Oliver, unable to say a word because of her crushed stomach.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not to mention Oliver, but her emotional state was truly bizarre.In spite of being so ill, he had no bad feelings for Oliver. Rather, he admired, worshiped, and rebuked himself for his shortcomings.
Oliver’s first uncomfortable feeling came back to the feeling that could be called pathological.
“Have you ever said Marie before? It is said that nothing is free in the world. When you first helped me.”
“·····b, yes.”
Marie barely answered in a shriveled voice.
“So I won, so I have to pay the price. Don’t call me savior or god anymore, just live the life you want to live. You forget me too. Can you?”
Marie shook her head.
“Poetry, put… yo. Ha, come on.”
Oliver didn’t know how to react to the apparent refusal.
I was trying to get a little annoyed.
As Joe said, if you beat it, it makes you think that you won’t be able to hear it… That was then.
Suddenly, Marie’s men attacked Oliver.
Although it wasn’t visibly superior, it showed a stable casting speed due to good basic skills, and fired a bullet of hate at Oliver.
Even a black suit was enough to just block it, but Oliver backed down because of their feelings for Marie.
Marie’s men protecting Marie. They harbored extreme hatred for Oliver and attempted to attack further.
“What are you doing?!!”
Marie stood up and shouted. Oliver burns with anger he’s never seen before.
The subordinates panicked and frightened by Marie’s anger.
They bent over and groaned like frightened dogs, but Marie swung her droopy arms grotesquely, slamming a nearby subordinate in the face.
The shock was so great that it flew away. It was pure luck that he didn’t die.
Even so, Marie, as if unsatisfied, slapped the face of another subordinate with her elbow.
“number of animals!”
Oliver raised his voice, not like himself. Thankfully, Marie stopped.
“master····.”
“Please stop it. It is only for you.”
“Ha, but these are-”
“- Please. Please stop it.”
When the word “favor” came out of Oliver’s mouth, Marie lowered her hand.
She forcibly quenched her anger and ordered her to step back.
Marie’s subordinates retreat with their waists bowed like the servants bowing to the king.
It was truly a strange sight.
An enemy who angered the subordinates who saved her, and stopped her like that.
Oliver once again pondered why their relationship had become like this.
“Your body has recovered.”
Oliver asked, examining Marie’s self-healing body as a small thread spewed out of the wound.
It was strange, but I saw puppets and auction house intruders relatively less.
“yes.”
“How did you develop it?”
“…I don’t know either. Suddenly it became available. sorry.”
Sincerity. Marie was sincere.
“no. It could be… Anyway, I’m glad you’re okay. In that sense, let me say it again. Don’t call me a savior from now on-“
“-no. I can’t. I’m really, really sorry, but I can’t follow those words. Please forgive me.”
Marie answered with red, bloodshot eyes as if negotiating was impossible.
Her emotions fluctuated like a huge tidal wave, flowing out of her body, staining her body even more black.
The excessively multiplying emotions gradually spread around her, even with physical power. Marie’s emotions are pressing the air and encroaching on the area with black color. Oliver just stared at him without saying a word.
“·················ogue.”
“Please . . . please do not take this faith from me. master. Without it, I have to go back to the past.”
“What kind of past?”
“Because I was just born. Because I was born and I am alive. alive…. Such a beast.”
“········.”
“Because I met you, because I trusted you, I gained my worth. The reason I was born into the world, the reason I am alive…! You’d rather kill me than take this. That’s better!!”
Marie cried with all her sincerity, shedding black tears.
With him, he took out eight test tubes from his bosom. The test tube contained pure faith, a feeling of faith.
