238. Bathory Family (2)
Wallace swung his long sword clad in flames to the side.
The crimson flames pushed out the water vapor with powerful heat, while at the same time as a barrier, it surrounded Oliver and Wallace and blocked enemies from running in all directions.
The flames that emit powerful heat are burdensome for not only ordinary people, but also ordinary wizards and warlocks.
The female warlocks of the Bathory family responded with ice magic.
[Chill]
[Freeze]
[Snowstorm]
[Icicle]
The female warlocks skillfully raised their magical powers and used ice magic as if they had been trained in professional magic.
First, the surrounding air is rapidly lowered with Chill to create an environment that is easy to use ice magic, then with Freeze the water vapor in the air is frozen, and with Snowstorm, a blizzard is blown from various angles to spread widely. Weakened Wallace’s fire barrier.
Chewy profit–!!
About the time the flame was noticeably weakened by the pincer, an icicle flew into the final blow and pierced Wallace’s flame.
The horse was an icicle, a giant spear made of ice, but Oliver and Wallace, respectively, used the Warlock’s Eye and Magical Sensing ability to block the icicles pouring out from all directions.
Quajiic!!
cha ah ah ah!!
Paan-!
Surprisingly, Oliver and Wallace didn’t interfere with each other like long-time mates, each blocked only what was necessary.
It was possible because both of them had considerable skills.
“Only that much……!”
The fire barrier pierced by the icicles faded, and the female warlocks screamed as they rushed in siege. They had ice weapons in their hands.
From ordinary knives to sickles, rapiers and chains. The amount of magical power that made up the ice and the structure of the magic were not at the normal level, but it was a pity for those who used it.
Aside from their superior magical and physical abilities, they just wield weapons.
Of course, the movement was so fast that it was a threat in itself, but it didn’t work for Wallace, who had learned the sword properly, and he couldn’t even be an opponent of Oliver.
Oliver and Wallace faced each other with their backs to each other, blocking, dodging, and counterattacking each other.
In the case of Wallace, he condensed the flame on the blade to a high density to increase his resistance to ice magic, and then slashed the opponent’s attack back.
In the case of Oliver, clumsily, he changed Tonfa’s gripping posture and blocked it like a shield, swung it like a whip, and slashed it like an ax, as he learned from the mortal doll-Duncan.
Of course, the female warlocks were also superior in agility, so they blocked Oliver’s attack, but they couldn’t lead the fight despite the advantages of numbers and posture.
“Be careful not to get cut by the ice weapon. If you allow an attack even once, it deals continuous damage like poison.”
“Yes, I know.”
Oliver recalled a book he had read in Merlin’s library.
Like the speed and range of lightning magic, and the firepower and duration of attack of fire magic, the ice magic of the Skadi School had its own unique characteristics.
Its characteristic is that the cold inflicts continuous damage like poison.
So Oliver was fighting with his own safety priority rather than causing damage to his opponent.
“You know what to do!”
The brown-haired female warlock was furious and threw ice chains.
Ice chains with weights like anchors flew towards Oliver with a creaking sound, and Oliver held Tonfa in one hand like an ax to block the chains.
Charlie–Tak!!
Ice chains wrapped around the tonfa like a rope, and the female warlock pulled it straight and sealed Oliver’s one side of the tonfa.
she smiled and said
“I got it! Like this… huh?”
Before the female warlock who threw the ice chains could finish speaking, Oliver without hesitation let go of the captured tonfa.
The female warlock, who was giving her strength, lost her balance and fell backwards, and without missing the timing, Oliver pulled the magic thread connected to the tonfa and pulled the female out of balance.
“uh····?”
A female warlock who comes with a fish caught on a fishing line.
Oliver wielded the recovered tonfa and smashed the female warlock’s head with a vertical blow.
I–!!!
Split hair with a cheerful sound.
Fortunately, the female warlock was only prostrated on the floor, trembling, not recovering from splitting her head.
Blood was oozing out of the cracks in his head, and he tried to recover somehow, but it didn’t work so blood vessels didn’t form, and he kept collapsing.
bang-!!
Still, just in case, Oliver stomped his foot on the head and crushed it.
I wanted to preserve the corpse as much as possible and study it later, but since they were still fighting, that seemed inappropriate.
‘Well, there are a lot of other people… But what?’
Oliver stomped on the female warlock’s head and looked around.
The female warlocks, who had been attacking fiercely in unison, stopped their attacks and looked at Oliver in unison.
Everyone was silent, as if seeing something shocking, and an ice-cold silence fell around them.
“Dare you, Esther. How dare a man step on my sister and kill her?!”
A female warlock shouted with rage, contempt and disgust.
The muscles and tendons of the face visibly stood out in proportion to the intense emotions, and the fangs grew like beasts.
“Ahhhh!!!!”
The female warlock opened her fanged mouth and screamed, followed by other female warlocks.
“Ahhhh!!!!”
“Ahhhh!!!!”
“Ahhhh!!!!”
“Ahhhh!!!!”
“Ahhhh!!!!”
The resonant noise made my ears hurt, but Oliver and Wallace, who are experienced in combat, used magic to protect their ears.
A wall-sounding roar passed by, and the first female warlock shouted.
“My mother told me to bring it back as well as possible, but I changed my mind. I hope you understand that it’s a bit broken! Hey guys!”
The female warlocks all at once dispelled the ice magic they had in their hands, raising their magical powers and casting ice magic.
When Wallace saw a storm of icicles and snow pouring in all directions, he used every flame on his blade to create a storm of flames to protect himself and Oliver.
It wasn’t a magic that was suitable for indoor use, but there was nothing he could do to prevent the ice magic from all directions.
👀 hahahahak
A flame storm that swept the room and an ice magic that tried to stop the storm fought hard, and Oliver could see that the momentum of the two was a whistle.
The level of magic they collided with was similar, so they were annihilating each other. If it was like this, it was a war of consumption.
“Hey.”
Wallace, in the eye of the storm, waved his head and called out.
“Yes, Mr. Wallace.”
“Any good ideas? There is a limit to what I can endure on my own. If I just block it, my magic power will run out.”
That was correct. There were more than ten opponents, and Wallace was alone. Rather, it was a great whistle.
Oliver thought for a moment as he touched the medicine box in his arms and shook his head. I had to save this for later.
Oliver looked around through the eyes of the warlock to see if there was another way, and identified the position of the female warlocks beyond the hurricane of flames.
“uh·····. I don’t know if this is the right way, but I have an idea.”
“What?”
Wallace asked, and Oliver answered.
After hearing all the answers, Wallace nodded.
“Not a bad way. Can you do it now?”
“Yes.”
“Okay then. Start…. just now!”
With Wallace’s cry, a flame storm exploded and spread around, and the female warlocks increased their magic output to prevent it.
At the same time, the room was once again filled with steam along with the high-temperature wind.
In a sudden situation, the female warlocks stopped their magic, and without missing the timing, Oliver raised her magic power and threw a chain of magic in all directions to capture the female warlocks.
Parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Pak!!!
The magical chains that flew as swiftly as snakes grabbed the female warlock’s arms, waist, and torso.
They were taken aback by the unexpected counterattack, but that was only for a moment.
Because I noticed that the amount of magic in the magic chain wasn’t that great.
“Are you just going to waste your time with these things?”
As the vapor cleared and a female warlock visually checked the magic chain, she made an ice sword and tried to break the magic chain.
“No, I don’t mean to waste time.”
“What, dog… huh?”
The female warlock looked at Oliver.
Oliver, who created a dozen magical chains through Tonfa and captured them.
Oliver was kneeling on one knee, ready to strike, with Wallace in front of him, poised to strike Oliver back with flames on his blade.
To be precise, a tonfa with a magic chain connected.
The female warlocks, who knew how to use magic skillfully, looked at the scene and tried to stop it with astonished expressions as if they knew what they were trying to do, but it was too late.
Wallace struck down Oliver’s tonfa with a sword clad in flames as hard as he could, and the magic chain connected to the tonfa burned into flames and rushed towards the female warlocks according to Oliver’s pre-set magic trick.
As fast as a cloth soaked in oil.
***
“Ahhhh!!!”
The female warlocks, bound in magical chains, screamed again with their bodies on fire.
A scream filled with pain and fear, completely different from the shouts of anger I had before.
They worked tirelessly to put out the flames around their bodies, but as I have already said several times, putting out the flames of Wallace through magic is rather the act of pouring oil on them.
It seemed to stop the flames by condensing the magic reflexively, but in response to the magic, the flames exploded and swallowed them up at once.
“big·····!!”
Unfortunately, a female warlock with a magic chain around her neck burned her face and her breathing apparatus to ashes, depriving her of the right to scream.
Luckily, those with fires in their arms or legs managed to extinguish the fire by tearing them apart.
Of course, that didn’t mean it was safe.
Chow–!
Whoops!!
Wallace did not miss the moment when the enemy became defenseless, and quickly narrowed the distance and cut down the enemies who did not get fatal wounds at once.
The flame-clad blade was burned at the same time as it cut the enemy, and those who survived were burned to ashes while feeling the pain of being cut off their neck and burning at the same time.
“Kyaak-!!!”
In the end, only one or two female warlocks managed to survive and escape inside the lab.
“Chase!”
Wallace, who had won the victory, shouted, and Oliver followed, regretting that there was no intact body.
Wallace and Oliver are chasing.
The female warlocks were quite fast, but each of them had one limb severed, so they couldn’t speed properly.
Just as Wallace’s blade was about to reach them, a door suddenly opened from the ceiling and zombies poured in.
“Kyahyaa!!!!”
“Creepy—–!!”
“Kyahak! Kahahahahak-!!”
In the sudden surprise, Wallace reflexively retreated and swung his long sword, and the zombies were cut like butter and burned.
Still, the zombies continued to pour, but Wallace did not panic and tried to wipe out the zombie swarm by controlling the flames.
Against such a dense crowd, fire magic was the most effective.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌!!!
The magic that made up the flames was refined, and under Wallace’s control, a swarm of zombies swept over them.
It was then that an oddity caught my eye.
The bodies of zombies that had not yet been swept away by the flames were bulging. Like old and rotten canned food.
And the zombies, who were not swept away by the flames to match their appearance, exploded inside their bodies, pouring out blood and gut fragments in all directions.
Wallace stepped back, and Oliver looked at the blood splattered on his skin.
I checked to see if I had the disease-weakening type black magic, and fortunately there were no abnormalities.
I felt relieved, but at the same time, I also had doubts. If it were him, he would have used disease-weakening type black magic.
‘Then what’s the point?’
Oliver looked around and thought.
Wallace’s flames were engulfed in blood, and the remains of his corpse exploded, and a pool of blood pooled on the floor.
‘A puddle of blood?’
Oliver noticed something and was about to speak to Wallace when a female warlock appeared, gushing out of the pool of blood on the floor.
The sudden appearance Wallace tried to slash the female warlock with a sword wrapped in flames, but this time the female warlock was faster.
She touched the puddle of blood to activate a combination of black magic and magical power, and Oliver, who was standing on it, fell as if falling into a swamp with Wallace.
shouted the female warlock.
“Don’t separate them and deal with them!”
***
“Don’t separate them and deal with them!”
With those words, Oliver fell into a pool of blood.
His vision was stained with red blood, and at the same time he moved as if he had been swept away by the torrent, and then Oliver jumped out as if being pushed away.
Blood-soaked all over, Oliver stood up and looked around, wiping the blood from his face.
As the female warlock said, there was no Wallace, only an unfamiliar place filled with darkness.
Oliver gathered magic power at his fingertips and gave it a magic trick, bouncing it to make a small light ball to secure his sight, and then looked around. It was like some kind of laboratory.
‘It’s a laboratory… A strange memory comes to mind.’
Oliver recalls the past when he infiltrated Mattel’s secret laboratory in search of Rothburn.
With him, many memories flashed past him as if biting his tail.
Rothburn and the other children weeping in Oliver’s arms. And a boy named Colin.
The boy, in the worst condition, misunderstood Oliver as the savior, and begged for help.
But Oliver couldn’t help, and somehow ended up lying.
He said that if he confessed, he would be able to go to heaven. I don’t know if that’s actually true or not.
However, Colin believed Oliver and asked God to forgive him through Oliver.
‘Why did you do that?’
Oliver was belatedly questioning his own actions and looked back at what had happened.
I still couldn’t figure out why. Why did you do such a presumptuous thing?
“yes?”
As Oliver looked around in thought, something caught his eye.
Through the iron grate on the wall, as I approached, I could see a deformed creature bound inside. What should I say about this…
“I call it improved human-C03.”
Oliver turned his head at the sudden reaction of life.
The light orb also moved to secure the line of sight, where you could see a pool of blood and female warlocks gushing out of it.
They surrounded Oliver with revenge and malice.
“Is it improved human-C03?”
“okay. A new human being, a combination of a cow and a human.”
Oliver looked back into the iron bars.
Inside the iron bars, a chimera with a cow’s head and a human body was lying dead. With blood squirting from his eyes, nose and mouth.
“A mixture of cows and humans?”
“as you see.”
“What is the reason?”
“To make a good worker. A stronger, stronger, more obedient good worker.”
It was a bizarre story like an urban ghost story, but Oliver, who had already seen the back of the School of Life, accepted it without any surprise or novelty.
Maybe you already expected it.
Then another question arose.
“By the way, how do you know?”
“Because he worked with us.”
The female warlock answered with sincerity.
