180. Believers (4)
[Authority]
With that word, the test tube shook, and the contents inside were scattered in the air.
The emotions did not disappear even if they were blown up in the air, probably because they had undergone special processing, but they came into contact with and compatible with Marie’s emotions, and eventually merged into one as if caught in a ring.
The emotions that entered under Marie’s influence became small particles like water sprayed with a sprayer and spread all around.
up to a few hundred meters in radius.
Thanks to this, the world was dyed in a faint black, as if graphite powder had been sprinkled on the painting.
“Well······.”
Oliver observed the emotional particles floating in the air, stirring them with his hands.
“… these are not Marie’s feelings.”
“Yes, it is. master. It is the faith of pure believers, including myself.”
“Are you a believer?”
“It is a collection of the right amount of faith from those who have been taught by the Master and truly worship.”
Hmm·····. Obviously, this feeling was not one person’s. A combination of the emotions of at least eight people.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, the emotions did not repel each other, and naturally merged as if they were one from the beginning.The medium is…
“-It is faith.”
“yes.”
“It’s fun. If it is a blind emotion towards one object, it is possible to use the mixed emotions of several people as delicately as a single emotion… An interesting and surprising discovery. I read the book on my own, but I couldn’t read any theory or hypothesis about it. Great. number of animals.”
“It’s overrated. Because there has never been anyone like you.”
Marie even attributed her findings to Oliver.
Perhaps, if you asked me to die, I was willing to die.
But, ironically, he was not told to stop worshiping Oliver and live his own life.
It was a really difficult and complex feeling. Do you think that trusting and serving someone is more important than your life or achievements?
A feeling that Oliver couldn’t quite comprehend. However, it was also true that the truth could not be denied.
Then I suddenly had a question.
Does Oliver have the right to block Marie’s faith?
Maybe he didn’t know that it was because of his ruthless behavior.
‘No, even so, this is… It’s difficult.’
“master.”
said Marie.
“Yes, Marie.”
“I beg you again. Could you please have mercy on this fool just once? I don’t want to harm my master.”
It was half a threat, but surprisingly, Marie was sincere.
He had no desire to harm Oliver.
Rather the opposite.
It was painful. Nevertheless, the attack is proof that he wants to take Oliver with him.
“I will do anything for my master.”
“I already said what I wanted. I’m still curious, so let me ask. What are you going to do?”
“I will make you richer than anyone in the world and enjoy more power than anyone else in the world.”
“Money is enough to earn and spend as much as I need, and I don’t want all power.”
“I will gather all the knowledge of the world and bring it to you. Even the beautiful light you spoke of in the past will surely be revealed and presented.”
“I can also find knowledge. The process is worth it and has its own joy. So is the beautiful light. If you could do anything, what would I be? It’s not inherently different from caged livestock or pets. Did you want it from me?”
Marie was shaken by the words. Frankly, at this point, I hoped Marie would understand Oliver and step away.
I just hoped for a peaceful break up like this.
But not everything in the world goes the way you want it to. Marie shook her head.
“Ugh… Then I will do whatever you want.”
“I have already said it many times. Please quit what you are doing and live your own life.”
“already·····. This is already my life. master.”
Marie reassured herself and stretched out her hand towards Oliver. He clasped his outstretched hand tightly.
𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞
He felt a pressure on Oliver’s neck, with a sound of unknown origin.
It wasn’t usually power. There was a lot of pressure coming in from the black suit to the point of making a giggle-sounding sound.
Without the black suit, it would be out of breath at once.
‘particle····. You are controlling emotional particles in the air.’
Emoji particles enveloping hundreds of meters in all directions not only darkened the field of vision, but also encircled them and exerted a physical effect.
How can this be expressed?
It wasn’t an exact expression, but it was almost like fighting in Marie’s palm.
Oliver touched his neck with his hand, but the tiny, numerous emotes, like swarms of flies, were only momentarily disturbed, but did not stop his work.
“This is pretty dangerous.”
This technique was dangerous as it consumed 8 Pure Faith.
Having judged that, Oliver scraped off his neck with his hand, escaped Marie’s grip for a moment, and then fired a bullet of hatred at Marie.
Papabang–!!
A short but accurately fired bullet of hate flew towards Marie, slowly losing its momentum and stopping.
Countless small emotional particles clump together to stop Oliver’s bullets.
It looked like a bullet fired in the water stopped.
Oliver instinctively knew something big was about to happen.
[Ras Boom]
Oliver detonated a bomb of rage at the end of the quarterstaff and hit the ground.
The ground overturned with a huge explosion, and a small aftershock and dust flew around.
Oliver, thinking that he had lost his sight, ran away without this emotional particle.
I don’t know how powerful it is, but within this, everything is under Mari’s control. In fact, it was as if black magic had been blocked.
Considering the amount of emotion used, there was clearly a limit to reusing it, and Oliver intended to deal with Marie outside of his realm.
Until all of a sudden the tree twists like a living creature and smashes Oliver.
simplicity and honesty! Jiji Jijik Woo – Breaking!!
The trunk of the tree moved with a bizarre sound, then bent like a tentacle and struck Oliver.
He was spared a direct hit thanks to the black suit wrapped around his body, but Oliver flew backwards and collapsed.
“Can you influence not only emotions, but even objects?”
“Yes!”
As if flying with emotion particles, one responded with claws out.
Oliver managed to get up and dodge.
The movement was dull and unnatural, as if fighting in the water, as the emotional particles were constantly putting pressure on them.
‘It’s a big deal. Long-distance and short-distance are disadvantageous.’
In fact, while Oliver’s actions were restricted, there was no hindrance to Marie’s movements.
Rather, in linear movements such as movement, emotional particles were used like birds to help them.
Marie swung her nail again at Oliver, who had managed to get up and dodge the attack.
Kyagyayagang–!
Oliver swung his quarterstaff at an angle to block the attack and then attempted to fire a hated bullet from close range.
“this·····.”
Countless air particles scattered in the air permeated the bullets of hate that Oliver was making, preventing the completion of black magic.
It’s like putting salt, sugar, or earth on the food you’re making.
It’s not impossible to ignore, but it naturally slowed down the casting speed of black magic, ruining Oliver’s combo attacks.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Marie swung her opposite hand and slashed Oliver with her nails.
He slowly pulled back, but the part he had rubbed against was torn as it was.
I thought I would survive one or two times, but I was mistaken. It had the momentum to get her body cut off with just one proper hit on that nail.
“It will hurt, but don’t worry. A skilled warlock will reattach the cut parts, and even if that doesn’t work, I’ll attach the best mechanical or golem prosthetic. The absence of a limb never diminishes the value of the master.”
“ha·····. It seems a bit strange, am I wrong?”
Oliver tilted his head and re-extracted the emotions in the air.
If you can’t win, stealing it was one way.
Fortunately, emotional particles in the air are also emotions. He was able to take control by rushing into Oliver’s hands.
with this-
━━━━Chanang Tong!!!
The emotions that had been gathering in Oliver’s hands were scattered in the air like an explosion with a piercing sound that pierced his ears.
It was not an extraction failure. Marie intervened from a distance and interfered.
Could it be that Marie’s control ability surpassed Oliver’s?
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, it wasn’t.Looking at the previous fights, Oliver’s skill was higher than that of Marie.
If so, the reason was elsewhere.
It was precisely because of the nature of the emotion.
“sorry. master. This feeling is a special feeling bound by faith. No matter how hard you try, it will not be easy for you to take the initiative from me!”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Neither arrogance nor blind faith, it is an absolute fact.Marie had a strong connection with this vast yet powerful emotion.
A more fundamental approach beyond the technique of black magic.
The same feeling of worshiping the same object with the same emotion.
This strong link made it difficult for Oliver to pull it off.
Oliver thought it was fun.
He was still somewhat of a worshiper, but it gave him an ironic, indescribable feeling.
It’s not easy for Oliver to deal with his feelings for Oliver.
Perhaps the feelings of faith and worship were not important. Perhaps the most important thing is the feeling of believing and worshiping itself.
“So, the more you know about the real world, the more you live, the more interesting it seems.”
Marie asked with hope.
“ah····. So are you acknowledging our beliefs?”
“I do not know. I’m not a great person to judge the people around Marina Marie, so it’s hard to say. To be honest, I want each of us to be reconciled and parted, and live our own lives.”
Marie’s expression darkened again.
For some reason, Oliver thought that Marie and himself might not understand each other for the rest of their lives.
That might not be bad either.
Marie bit her teeth tightly.
“then-“
-[Toad House]
Before Marie could finish speaking, Oliver unleashed the enchantment and implanted it into the ground.
The enchanted ground soared up and became a hemispherical defense, enclosing Oliver and protecting it in all directions.
Embarrassed, Marie tried to crush Todd House by turning the surrounding emotional particles into tiny blades.
Like a giant blender.
Wiee – !!!
About halfway through the Todd House, there was a huge explosion and flames inside.
The emotional particles were also damaged by the powerful firepower whether they were invincible, and were pushed back by the heat.
“·······!!”
Marie was startled by the huge explosion and flames that took place in front of her.
But he was surprised once more when he saw Oliver popping out of the flames.
Wearing a black suit with an artificial soul mixed with emotion, magic, and life, Oliver tried to run away from my emotional particles with great speed.
“ね!”
Visibly bewildered, Marie manipulated the emote again to capture Oliver.
But this time it was different.
Although it was still possible to make it only the size of a bean, the power of the artificial soul was beyond imagination, and it ignored the small but innumerable disturbances of emotions in the air.
I tried to shove the emote into the black suit and break it, but that didn’t work either.
pounding. pounding. pounding.
Marie was perplexed. If you leave this area, it will be difficult to catch Oliver.
So Marie went after Oliver herself.
The black suit mixed with artificial souls naturally increased its output and achieved tremendous speed, and Marie also did her best not to miss it.
He rode on a tree, then made a foothold with emote particles and ran through the sky, chasing Oliver like a hawk for prey.
Due to the nature of the terrain, Marie was slightly faster. At least Marie felt that way.
Marie jumped at Oliver with excitement as she approached the outskirts of the emote’s reach.
“Never miss!!”
Marie engulfed in the prey in front of her. Is it because of that?
Marie did not see the greed and flames in Oliver’s hands.
[Cheer up]
Oliver chanted, mixing fire and emotion.
