36. Crisis? (2)
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Oliver continued to follow Marie’s hand, closing his eyes in the aftermath of the flash bomb.
Fortunately, he covered his eyes with his arms, and his vision was soon restored.
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a damp stone wall, stagnant water, a squeaking mouse, and Marie supporting Oliver.
“······number of animals?”
“Yes, Master!”
“How are you here…?”
“I am sorry for breaking the order to run away. If it’s a punishment, you’ll get it after you get out of here safely, so please get over it now.”
Oliver looked at her feelings and knew she was sincere.
She was genuinely guilty of not obeying Oliver’s orders without any pretentiousness.
Even after saving Oliver’s life.
“How did you get here?”
“I couldn’t run away except for the master, so I followed him later. The pharmacist found this place, and I was given a map of the sewerage and some supplies.”
Oh, then I understand. The pharmacist must have supported me with the flash bomb earlier.
Did he foresee this situation?
“Still, I was lucky. To meet the owner when I arrived just in time… God helped”
It was ironic every time I heard it. I’m a warlock, but God helps… No, is it possible?
Oliver recalled the mysterious being he had seen at Joseph’s Secret Altar.
Something embodied by woven corpses.
“The old man on horseback . . .”
“Yes?”
“no···. nothing. Anyway, you did something dangerous.”
“········The punishment will be taken as soon as it escapes.”
“No, thank you. You saved me.”
At that, Marie’s eyes widened and her face flushed red. So much so that my ears turn red.
“Hey, we have to go back from this side.”
Marie said as she went down a side road without going well.
“Where…?”
“The Wineham Sewer is complicated by several undeveloped developments. If you twist it a little, you won’t be able to chase it.”
“I don’t think that’s necessarily the case, is it?”
Oliver focused his eyes on the paladin that was chasing him in various directions and said.
They seemed to know the geography of the sewer quite well, so they spread a siege and chased after them.
“If you go this way, we will meet soon. Is there no other way?”
Oliver said as he stopped Marie, who was walking well.
Marie hurriedly took out the map and checked it.
“Uh, then… this way!”
Oliver followed Marie’s instructions.
Fortunately, we were able to avoid the crisis once, but that did not mean we were completely out of the crisis.
Whenever I thought that I had opened up the distance, the other paladin and party narrowed the siege and threatened them.
At this rate, you will keep playing tag and eventually get caught.
Something more aggressive was needed.
“Marie, do you have any feelings left? I barely used mine.”
“Yes, I brought one.”
Marie pulled out a test tube.
As soon as Oliver received the test tube, he focused his attention on his eyes. There are currently 10 people in total.
They came in groups of five, but fortunately, perhaps because of support, the Paladin was chasing after their colleagues from the very back.
It wasn’t a bad idea, but thanks to that, it was actually the latter.
Oliver extracted his emotions and mimicked the ‘Ovidence’ he had seen in the past and hung it on the rats that wandered around him.
Take-! Take-!
Fortunately, it was not a very expensive magic, but as they continued to run away, they indiscriminately cast obedience on the rats they saw, forming a small group.
Take-! Cheeky! Take it! Take it! Don’t sweat! Take-! Take-! Cheeky–!
“Hey, is this…?”
“Mouse. It might take some time.”
With those words, Oliver stopped walking and cast the spell again towards the swarm of rats looking at him.
[Fighting Spirit]
The rats under the spell had the courage to attack people, and at Oliver’s beckoning, they split into five groups and ran towards the chasing enemies.
As I said before, time could be bought, but for Oliver, it was enough.
“number of animals!”
Oliver took Marie and started running like crazy.
I ran so fast that I was out of breath, but nevertheless, I did not neglect preparations in the meantime.
Six Hat Bullets and three Black Javelins.
After a while, as I turned the corner, I could see the three paladin knights stepping on a swarm of rats in bewilderment. Oliver threw six hat bullets.
“shit!”
They defended by deploying the shield of the court.
As expected, the bullets of hate were blocked in vain, but Oliver didn’t mind and threw a Black Javelin one at a time.
A Black Javelin with a penetrating effect pierced through the enemy’s shield, dealing damage, while Oliver and Marie ran past them.
Everything flows like water. Marie said with respect.
“Damn, that’s great!”
“No, as you might have noticed, they are coming this way. Can you get out through this passage?”
“Yes, Master! There is a way out to the ground, and it is safe to hide from there.”
“That’s fortunate. then···.”
Oliver began to create several minions by extracting emotions in order to slow the pursuit of his enemies.
They were given Hat Bullet, Rath Boom, and Creepy Scream, respectively, and scattered on the floor like land mines.
“Perhaps it will buy some time.”
“Ahh···.”
Marie exclaimed with joy.
“Come on, if you turn around here, go out…. uh?”
After running for a long time and turning to the last corner, Marie’s eyes grew like coins.
This was because the passageway to the outside was blocked by a solid iron gate right in front of it.
“Hey, this is…”
Marie made a bewildered expression when she saw the huge iron door that could be said to be out of standard.
Oliver knocked on the iron door just in case, and it sounded like a very thick door.
“Well······.”
I was upset.
It was impossible to break such an ignorant piece of iron with the emotions he currently possessed, and even if he pulled out Marie’s emotions, it was dangerous to use such powerful black magic in such a closed space. We were sure to get swept together.
In short, it was like a mouse trapped in a poison.
A small explosion was heard along with a terrible scream that broke people’s will, as if to inform them of this.
Kya Yay Yay Yay Yay aaH
bang–!
Kwagwang—!
bang—!
The minion that Oliver sprayed works.
It seems that they did a lot of damage to the paladin side, but they did not stop chasing them.
“Lord, Master!”
“Yes?”
“Hey, pick out my feelings and write them down. Shouldn’t we fight?”
Oliver looked at Marie. She was sincere and determined.
However, in Oliver’s head, a paladin who turned all black magic into nothing came to mind.
She who instantly neutralized all of Oliver’s black magic with a brilliant light…
“Well···. No, it will be useless anyway. Being a paladin just negates black magic. Extracting Marie’s emotions would be a waste.”
“But you can’t just sit around like this, can you?!”
That was correct. However, the reality is that there is no way to see it.
Paladin…. Being strong was also strong, but his compatibility with the Warlock was really bad.
It was really strange. I was going to die soon, but I was sad rather than afraid.
There are still so many things I want to know… Then an important fact popped into my mind.
“number of animals···.”
“Yes?! Any way…”
“Do you have any lighters or matches?”
“Yes?”
“A lighter or a match.”
“…Ah, yes. But why?”
Oliver pulled out the pilgaret he had kept in his arms.
A pilgarette made of the brilliant light that Joseph had seen before he died.
“Could you lend me a lighter?”
Marie looked at Oliver who was about to smoke a pilgaret in this urgent situation, and looked absurd, but eventually nodded her head as if she was prepared.
“If that’s okay with you, I’d like to attach it.”
“Oh, what…. Please.”
Oliver answered and put the pilgarette in her mouth, and Marie politely ignited the pilgaret, suppressing her trembling hands.
My first taste of pilgaret.
He took a deep breath, and Joseph’s emotions, along with the smoke of cigarettes, entered Oliver’s body.
This is what it is…
“·················ogue.”
A deep silence came, and Marie opened her mouth more cautiously.
“Even though it’s been this far… It was truly an honor to meet the master… Thank you very much.”
“·················ogue.”
Oliver was silent without answering.
As if thinking deeply about something.
After a while, footsteps got louder and louder, and a group of people appeared.
Her companions, including the paladin Joanna.
Everyone had a hard time with the minions that Oliver had sprayed, and it didn’t make sense, but even a few seemed to have gotten worse.
Maybe that’s why, except for Joanna, everyone was in a state of anger.
“I got it, you bastard… Knowing this, I plugged a few rat holes in the sewer beforehand.”
“Stupid bastards… Do you think we would have dealt with guys like you once or twice?!”
It wasn’t very good for that, but no one pointed out that fact.
In any case, it was true that we were in crisis.
Marie stood in front of Oliver and pulled out a crude gun.
Guns are pointless to those who wiped out gangs and warlocks.
“Woo-wook…. Whoops… Whoops…”
Marie’s breathing became rough due to tension.
Perhaps he didn’t want to see it, one of the Paladins quickly grabbed a cross-shaped gun and pulled the trigger.
bang——–!
Gunshots rang out from the sewer, blood gushed, and people who fell.
Marie fell to the floor full of filth.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, it should have been. However, surprisingly, it didn’t.An unknown tentacle protruded from the bottom of the sewer and protected Marie.
“·········uh?”
Marie and the paladin both saw the unidentified tentacle and shouted that out.
Shadow type black magic…? did not seem to be It was similar but different. Upon closer inspection, it was something darker and darker than just a shadow.
Abyss like the night sea.
“··········!!!!!!”
Everyone felt alienated by the unknown existence and retreated.
ah, correct. Not everyone. Oliver stood still.
“······Ahhh. this···. What is this?”
Oliver murmured.
His expressionless face trembled strangely, and he continued to say something incomprehensible.
“Wow, originally…. Is it like this? Pilgaret?! I feel it I can feel it…! The sadness he felt, the anger, the hope… the longing! pleasure!! regret!!! Everything…! I can feel it all!!!”
Oliver’s eyes widened from drugs, and he looked at the Paladins.
It was a shameful story for them, but everyone felt fear for a moment at the sight of the mad Oliver.
Even the paladin Joanna.
Everyone, including her, instinctively noticed that Oliver was different from other warlocks.
Words couldn’t explain it, but everyone thought that this ominous creature should be killed as soon as possible, but no one could act hastily.
It’s like seeing an unidentified existence stop your actions.
In the midst of such a heavy and terrifying silence, the one holding the cross-shaped gun shouted and raised the gun.
“Ahhh-! die! This devil!”
[Hell Thurman]
Oliver extracted his emotions in an instant and scattered them on the sewer floor.
Black emotions covered the entire sewer as if it were multiplying, and not only the sewage but also the paladin party.
It’s different, as if you’re applying paint. In addition, the speed was so fast that there was no time to pull the gun, no time to resist.
It’s just being eaten by darkness.
[Divine Protection]
The only paladin, Joanna, resisted by activating the Holy Law.
A holy shield used when fighting the Dominic Family.
It was a powerful technique to protect not only himself but also his allies, but for some reason it was meaningless in front of Oliver.
It shone for a moment to save those who were caught in the darkness for a moment, but that was all.
Soon the light lost its power and was considered helpless.
It’s just swallowed up in darkness again.
Joanna saw it and cried again.
[Purify]
[Impre War]
As the sacred flames that burn everything were about to scorch the darkness, darkness enveloped the explosion at Oliver’s light gestures.
Then Joanna swallowed it, and all that was left was her mouth and one eye.
“·················ogue.”
Oliver walked over to her. And I looked at her without a word. Looking forward to what you will say.
Joanna’s emotions, swallowed up by darkness, were instantly dyed with fear, but then she opened her mouth as if she was prepared.
“. . . O my Holy Father. Thank you for sending your children to this land and for giving them a duty. Even though I can’t fulfill the glorious mission that my Father has given me, I believe in you and ask for mercy. So please have pity on these children and hold them in your arms, and I sincerely hope that you will look after the children who will be left behind. kill it I will not beg for your life.”
Joanna said proudly, glaring at Oliver with only one eye left.
She saw a beautiful light that was different from the one she had seen with the Lightning Wizard, Joseph.
Oliver reached out towards her. and said
[Deep Sleep]
