72. Heist (2)
“Someone is coming.”
At that one word, Murphy instinctively noticed that something was wrong, and gave a hand signal to the men around him.
Perhaps thanks to many veterans of the war, they moved in harmony with one light hand gesture, and spread a warning signal around them as if they had been trained in advance.
“Red light! red light! Everyone to their positions!”
The sound of guns being loaded was heard everywhere.
Murphy, despite being the boss, took off his jacket and took the knife and pistol in his arms.
It was a relatively short armament, but it was enough considering his physical abilities.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not to be overshadowed by the word “reformed human”, because he has physical abilities that are different from those of ordinary people. Nevertheless, he did not let go of the tension.As if knowing that there are many strong people in the world.
“Who is coming? Black Mage.”
“Wait.”
Oliver said, focusing his attention on one closed eye.
I put minions one by one in a few hundred meters around the warehouse, and they caught something.
Oliver synchronized his vision with the minion that sent the signal, constantly checking what was around him.
It was late at night, so there weren’t as many people as there were during the day, but there were still workers, vagrants, and beggars sleeping in the corner of the factory.
“No, no, not this person… ah!”
Oliver saw something. Someone was moving fast this way from the building around the warehouse.
Surprisingly, there was only one person, and he was radiating powerful magical energy like lightning from his body.
I’ve never seen such a form of magic in the past.
The Lightning Wizard who attacked Weinham.
Very similar to him, he had a bad intention to raid this place.
But surprisingly, there was no tension or fear. Even if you are in a situation where you have to fight gangs.
Rather, he was having fun. Like a child going on a picnic.
Beneath that joyous feeling, there was an indescribable, boundless confidence. An unusual degree of self-confidence.
“One intruder. He’s a magician.”
“A wizard?! one person?”
Murphy asked, puzzled.
It is true that wizards are a threat, but even so, it was too strange to come alone.
“what? Weren’t you here to rescue Herbert? Did you just come here with the intention of blowing it all away?”
“No, it will not.”
“Yes?”
“I’m not sure, but given the amount of mana, I don’t think they came here to blow up this big warehouse. Would it be a little tight? Even if you’re here to destroy the warehouse, I think I’ll be able to do something while gathering my magic. We’ve put some test tubes there too, so don’t worry too much.”
“·················ogue.”
Murphy looked at Oliver in surprise. Oliver looked at Murphy like that and asked.
“…? Did I make any mistake?”
“Oh, no…. So what can we do?”
“I do not know. This is the second time I’ve been fighting a wizard… yes?”
Oliver shouted again.
Because the emotions suddenly increased.
Obviously, the wizard who came in the building was alone, but when he took out an object imbued with magic and activated it, the magic suddenly concentrated in the air, and more wizards appeared around that place.
“The wizard has increased. three.”
“Yes?!”
“I activated some magic tool and it appeared out of the air. Do you know what it is?”
“Empty…? They’re probably space school bastards. crazy! Why are they here…?”
“this····.”
“Why what…?”
Murphy asked urgently, but Oliver couldn’t answer.
It was because the situation was urgent, because one of the wizards suddenly spread magic like a strand around the warehouse.
It didn’t do any direct damage, but the minute magic disappeared when it collided with buildings and obstacles, and in the process passed on the information to the magician.
It was quite surprising. I thought that magic was just gunpowder that produced huge firepower, but to use it this way.
However, the admiration is short-lived.
As soon as he grasped the geography and personnel of the warehouse, the wizard began condensing magical power in one hand.
The amount was quite large, but it was quite dangerous.
I’ve never seen such a form of magic in the past.
‘Magic Missile….’
“The attack is coming.”
“Cover everyone! Enemies attack!”
Murphy exclaimed, but frankly it didn’t make any sense. Looking at the condensed magical power, it was like a bomb.
A wall or a box was not enough to block it.
Are you really going to blow up the whole place?
At that time, a change occurred in the magic.
It was a bit difficult for Oliver, who had not received any professional training, to express it, but to explain it nonetheless, the gathered magic power was divided into dozens.
The shell was changed to a rather thick bullet, and at that time, the wizard used additional magic.
Targeting the point where the magic missile was fired.
It was similar to Oliver’s targeting, except that the wizard targeted the coordinates of the person’s location, as opposed to Oliver’s direct targeting of the person.
I wondered if there was a need for that.
“Would it be inefficient?”
“Yes? Rather than that, where should the warlock hide……”
“it’s okay. It can be stopped.”
“yes····?”
With Murphy’s answer, the wizard fired a magic missile from a building hundreds of meters away.
Unlike the magic missiles I’ve seen in the past, it was difficult to visually determine where it was shooting because the color didn’t come out, but fortunately, this was not a big problem.
The enemy mage told me in advance where to shoot.
Just- Just- [Black Shield]
When he hit the floor with a quarter staff, the test tube planted around the building reacted to the Black Magic Circle and vomited his emotions.
Then, at Oliver’s will, it turned into a black curtain, effectively blocking all flying magic missiles.
Bump-! Paang–! Tung-! Thunder Dung—! Bang! Puffeng ━━━!
The Black Shield did not break through, but as expected, it was quite powerful.
Probably, the walls, chests, and cover such as reinforcing bars have all been breached.
Murphy said as he looked at the magic missiles that were blocked by the Black Shield and exploded in mid-air. I don’t know why, but he looked quite shocked.
“…are you blocking it?”
“Perhaps?”
“········.”
“Still, I don’t think we should be vigilant. I think it only raised the spirits of the wizards.”
That was true. The magician who was blocked from the attack was indignant, and the other wizards laughed at it.
Everyone seemed to have enough time, but Oliver wondered what the hell they had prepared to make them so relaxed.
Are you confident that you are a wizard? Well, unlike the magic generated by the body itself, warlocks have a definite limit to their use.
There was still a lot of emotion left, but Oliver would have lost if it went on like this. We had to stick together as quickly as possible and see the match.
‘But the question is how do you do it?’
The indignant wizard regained his composure and again fired a large number of magic missiles.
Unlike before, the firepower was greatly reduced and there was no targeting, but the number of bullets was much higher, but Oliver defended the warehouse by deploying a black shield as before.
We couldn’t block all the runs because we couldn’t predict the RBI, but so far we haven’t had any problems.
That was then.
Chaenggrang-! Pak-!
A sound of a different grain from the magic missile was heard.
Mixed with the pouring magic missiles, an unknown item entered the warehouse.
It looked like an arrow, with a copper finish on the outside, and a blue manastone in the middle.
“Is that…?”
The moment he had doubts, the manastones lit up and spewed out powerful mana.
The output was quite high, and a small crack appeared in the air with him, and someone appeared through it.
I was one of the wizards at the top of the building earlier.
He came over here in an instant through that unidentified object.
“Hello everyone?! Nice to meet you and look around!!”
A huge explosion occurred around him with a loud shout.
An explosion of pure magic, not a flame.
The activation speed and the power of magic were considerable, so the guards around them flew around without being able to respond.
“Where’s the Warlock?! I brought a pretty funny guy…! He’s a really fun guy, isn’t he?! Let me see your face-!!”
His actions were just as aggressive as his emotions.
He unleashed his vast magical powers without a break! pop-! It exploded and destroyed not only the guards but also the box walls.
Thanks to this, the warehouse was a mess as if it had been bombed, but magic missiles flew through the hole in the wall, causing the allies to panic.
A wave offensive using firepower and vast magical power.
As the guards said, once it started to dry, it seemed to dry without end.
In the end, Murphy, who couldn’t see it, said.
“Black Mage. Unfold the shield to continue defending the warehouse. I somehow managed to catch that bomber-”
Oliver stopped Murphy as he was about to move.
“Warlock?”
“Because I will be in charge. Murphy, please take the others out of the way.”
“Yes?”
Oliver did not answer Murphy’s question and instead used black magic.
[Creepy Scream]
[Ras Boom]
Then from far away, a non-human scream echoed with the sound of an explosion.
Kya Yay Yay Yay Yay aaH
Boom—!
It was triggered by a test tube planted near the wizards who attacked from a distance with a magic missile, but their will was broken, and the roar that shook the brain and the explosion of anger hit the wizards and staggered.
Long-distance shooting stopped with him.
In the meantime, Oliver decided to take care of the explosion wizard who was making a fuss in the warehouse.
“Now that you have time, Mr. Murphy, please take the staff with you and keep the wizard’s workshop. I will deal with the wizard. That’s what I’m comfortable with.”
Murphy looked startled, but immediately came to his senses and obeyed Oliver’s words.
He instinctively knew what to choose.
“Part 2! Everyone go to the designated place!”
As soon as the order was issued, the gangs that had been running around began to run away in unison.
The wizard, who was supposed to cause a commotion inside, shouted in embarrassment.
“Where are you all going!? You should play with me!!”
[Impre War]
Oliver used black magic again.
A test tube planted near the place where the Explosion Wizard ran wild vomited out emotions, and the emotions that turned into mud covered the Explosion Wizard and restrained it.
It was a black magic that I used only once when fighting a paladin in the past, but contrary to what I thought, it was quite disappointing.
Somehow I could barely use it, but I was confident that I could bind whatever I had written at that time, but compared to that, the performance was so poor that it could be called rubbish.
‘But because it’s not my feelings?’
In fact, as if to prove this, the Explosion Wizard tried to escape from the restraints only with a vast amount of magical power and firepower without any technique.
“Something like this…! Something like this…!!”
It seemed that the restraints would be released over time, but Oliver had no intention of waiting. He used black magic.
[Black suit ver. 2]
[Burning Life]
He wore armor made by weaving life and emotions, and indirectly improved his overall physical abilities by burning his vitality.
Oliver, as if transformed into a different person, sped up the distance with the wizard with great speed.
“Something leftover…!!”
Bubb bubbly ━━━━━!
The explosion wizard caused a huge explosion and eventually released the restraints.
Although, he himself suffered some damage, but he did not care, but only hostility toward Oliver in his head. He was truly a militant person.
[Chain Explosion]
The Explosion Wizard fired a sharply tuned magical energy at Oliver and then exploded it immediately.
A chain of explosions occurred, and the scale was so great that it engulfed not only the section Oliver was running, but also the entire area around it. There was no place to escape.
‘With the defense of the black suit… no. Then you will be hit by the next attack.’
At that moment, Oliver remembered his past fight with Knuckle Joe.
Concentrate more power on a specific area to temporarily increase power. Perhaps it was the same reason that they approached quickly and narrowed the distance.
Oliver recalled that time and concentrated the energy of the black suit on his legs.
Then he jumped as hard as he could.
It was the only thing that escaped into the air that was not caught in the explosion, and at that moment, the smiling explosion wizard and his eyes met.
“You bastard!”
Perhaps he was aiming in the first place, he used explosion magic once more on Oliver, who had floated defenselessly in the air.
[Mana Explosion]
[Targeting]
Oliver, floating in the air, targeted the wall of the building and himself, and then increased the output as it was.
Thanks to this, I was able to avoid the attack by moving towards the wall, and the accident stopped instantly, as if the wizard was not expecting this.
Oliver did not miss this opportunity.
Immediately, he concentrated his energy on his legs again and rushed through the wall with all his might at the explosion wizard.
“this·····!”
The Explosion Wizard tried to counterattack with a belated spell, but Oliver was faster this time.
Oliver’s quarterstaff slapped him before he could even memorize his spell.
Swipe! With the sound, the wizard’s eyes flipped over at once.
Just as I was about to finish it, an attack suddenly flew from afar.
[Black Shield]
Fabababang–!
An attack that was blocked by an intermittent car.
Oliver looked at the wizards above the building, waking up. I don’t know why, but they seemed very angry.
um, what about Oliver shouted loudly.
“Mr. Murphy…. Could you please help me for a moment?”
