85. Puppet (1)
“this····. When did you notice?”
At the same time, Chevy… No, an unidentified warlock named Chevy jumped up and quickly extracted emotions.
He was faster than any warlock Oliver had ever seen.
The emotion he evoked like a thread from the flask became a beautiful black magic right in his hands.
It was as natural as living and breathing, but fortunately Oliver was just as fast.
[Hat Bullet]
[Hat Bullet]
Fababang ━━━━━!
Bullets of hate collided and exploded in the air.
The power was so great that everyone around them backed away in shock, but Oliver said, ‘Oh…’ I could see Chevy’s expression of admiration as she walked away.
He was very relaxed.
“It’s quite a bit…. It’s pretty good.”
Chevy mumbled savoringly, fired a hat bullet, and with the other hand made a black javelin.
If Oliver deploys a Black Shield or attacks with a Hat Bullet, he is probably trying to kill him with a Black Javelin with penetrating properties added.
Oliver calculated in his head and fired a Hat Bullet to re-block Chevy’s first attack.
Chevy smiled and was about to throw the Black Javelin when his hand stopped.
“····yes?”
Oliver’s bar, Shadow, was holding Chevy’s arm.
“swimming·····. Exceeding expectations.”
Chevy said with a light of admiration.
There was a click with him, and his hand fell like a lizard’s tail.
Just like the old puppeteer Glip’s corpse doll.
As the arm fell, a blade filled with green liquid came out and headed straight for Oliver.
‘Also·····.’
Oliver didn’t panic and fired Hat Bullet like a machine gun.
The first hated bullet smashed the blade, the second hated bullet broke the shoulder, the third and fourth hated bullet broke both knees, and the fifth hated bullet made a huge hole in the stomach.
Bubbub-! Along with the sound, processed skin and flesh, machinery, and springs were scattered on the floor, all of which happened in an instant.
Tap! Just-! turbid With chin! Degur….
All the people in the basement couldn’t seem to respond and stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
It’s like you can’t believe the situation in front of you right now.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
Everyone was silent, and ironically, the culprit in this situation broke the silence.
In a very bright and cheerful voice.
“Ha ha ha ha ha······! This, this is surprising. I’m sure you’ll meet such a fun friend in a place like this. It’s unexpected… After all, such unexpectedness can be said to be the beauty of life.”
The half-shattered Chevy spoke leisurely.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, it was more than that.He was a completely different person, from his voice to his tone and atmosphere.
“Aren’t you in pain?”
The shattered Chevy answered Oliver’s question.
“not really···. When you watch them fight, you seem to know a little bit about the corpse doll, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, I’ve only seen it once, but I don’t know for sure. I can’t learn… Are you really not sick?”
“Yeah, if you synchronize your senses, you can also create pain, but I’m not that kind of pervert.”
It was a truly bizarre scene.
The fact that two people who had just attacked each other as if they were going to kill each other are having a conversation in such a calm way.
It was bizarre and natural, which made me even more horrified, but then the mercenary captain interrupted the vacation.
“Hey····. What are you?”
“Well? Ahh····. Excuse me, my introduction is late. Hope you understand As you age, manners disappear along with your memory. no formal greetings It’s called a puppet. Old Warlock. Nice to meet you, little ones.”
puppet. Everyone opened their mouths at that word.
Oliver knew the reason to some extent.
An executive of a very large organization called the Black Hand, and a high-risk criminal designated by the world.
What did he say specifically? Did I say the puppet of eternal life?
While everyone was shocked, one denied it and said:
“Hey, lie. If it’s a puppet, it’s said that he died a few years ago…”
Puppet laughed.
“Every hundred years, there are two or three stories of me dying. There are times when I get hit like I do now. But, even if I suffer, I won’t die. That’s why I’m called eternal life. Oh, by the way, I don’t care whether you believe it or not, young people. Think what you are comfortable with. No matter what you believe, reality remains the same.”
Everyone could not refute the way they were so self-centered and relaxed.
All of a sudden, everyone believed that the person in front of them was a real puppet.
Of course, Oliver believed. I couldn’t see through them all, but at least I knew he was sincere.
“················ogue.”
Everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of the great villain and could not open their mouth hastily, but then Joe opened his mouth.
“Are you really a puppet…?”
“Yes. Half Warlock of the Fighter Crew. I see you have some questions.”
“Do you know about me?”
“Then there is very little I don’t know. Wherever my eyes and ears are anywhere.”
It was half bluff, but that confidence was real.
Even though he was in a state of broken movement, he was able to subdue the people here with just a few words.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not just a name, but a relaxed attitude and a few words.It seemed like an attitude worth learning.
Oliver continued to observe the puppet.
“Are all the zombies outside this building your work?”
“Yeah, do you like it? It was specially prepared for the younger ones, and although it was a bit annoying, it was quite fun.”
Joe intervened and asked.
“Why are you doing this to us? None of these people have any affiliation with you.”
Puppet burst into laughter.
For a moment, at the sound of his laughter, everyone except Oliver had no choice but to shake off the goosebumps that climbed on their backs.
“Eun-won…? clench clerk ….. Oh, excuse me, but it’s so funny.”
“What is funny?”
“Oh, well. It’s funny that people who live on the price of human meat are doing things like a gift-giving relationship… They just talk like they’re good people. On the subject of a human butcher.”
blatant desecration.
He spoke with all his sincerity, and because of that, he felt a rage that made the listener forget the fear of the strong for a moment.
Either way, the puppet only made more mockery.
“I apologize if I offended you, little ones. But is it true? Well, since it’s true, it makes me even more angry… Anyway, answer the question.”
“Questions?”
“Yeah, you asked why are you doing this? Simple. I’m doing this just because I need a human like you… I need ham, so I need it like a pig. Did you understand?”
“·················ogue.”
“You don’t understand? no matter what After all, death is not a concept that seeks understanding… Still, you made it fun, so I have a suggestion.”
“…?”
“Proposal that only some of you will die and the majority will live. How are you, isn’t it pretty good?”
“················ogue.”
“I have already surpassed a lot of other solvers, so I have reached my goal. So, only some of you will follow me and die. Then I’ll release the rest. safety····. What do you think?”
“Well, that would be a lie.”
someone muttered Puppet replied.
“I don’t care whether you believe it or not. young friends… In the first place, I can destroy this shabby building at any time. If in doubt, go back up the building again. And look. You can see an army of zombies multiplying several times.”
Sincerity.
“If you don’t like it, tell me now. I’ll prove my power right now. I’m making an offer that little ones can afford. I mean seriously. For each other, will you ease my troubles?”
It was truly a bizarre sight.
It’s a situation where all famous solvers are intimidated by someone who can’t stand up even though it’s a corpse doll.
It was even eaten so well that most of them were terrified.
The emotions stained with fear, the shaking eyes, and the cold sweat on his forehead are proof of that.
At some point, the control of the situation had passed to Puppet.
The only thing a solver and a mercenary can do is make a choice.
Then, with a trembling voice, someone asked carefully.
“Who are those who want?”
“Ah, now some smart friends have appeared… that friend and that friend. Other than that, about ten people. But don’t kill them, but leave them alive.”
Puppet said, pointing to Oliver and Arthur.
Oliver could feel a lot of eyes focused on him.
Arthur was tense and ready to fight right away, and as if in response, the others contracted their muscles and were ready to move at any time.
The emotions of most of them were fear, fear, self-rationalization, and a little hope.
It’s an instantaneous situation where you don’t know if your allies will fight each other.
Then, someone strode forward in front of the puppet.
It was Oliver.
“Perhaps····. If that’s okay with you, can I make another suggestion?”
“… any other suggestions?”
“Yes, if you allow it.”
Everyone looked at Oliver in amazement. Even puppets.
“I don’t know what to say about this. In this situation, the person who proposes the reverse has not been seen for the past 100 years… Tell me. I wonder what to say.”
“It seems like they want me and others to come somewhere. As much as possible as well as possible. I’d rather go on my own, so why don’t you fight with me?”
“Would you like to fight with me?”
Puppet asked as if it was fun.
“Yeah, if we win, we all just let them go, and if we lose, we do whatever we want. As I said before, doesn’t Puppet have the power to do that? More than anything····. You’re going to kill everyone anyway.”
At the end of the last sentence, the atmosphere did not cool down.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…! Do you think it was a bit too badly rubbed?”
“I just saw it.”
“just····? this! this is my mistake Apologize! It’s a corporation that should treat people with enough skills. But believe me. Usually, most people fall for these obvious lies. If you show the difference in power you can’t handle and instill a little hope in front of you. Exactly, deceive yourself. For a moment of hope and rest. Are you stupid?”
“I do not know····. Because I am not a person to judge anyone. How else are you going to accept my offer? If you don’t, I’ll run away on my own right now. It seems like if I do all I can to run away, I will be able to escape somehow.”
Puppet looked at Oliver.
“Oh my gosh, it’s serious. I never dreamed I would be threatened like this. Well, shall I give you a little more hope then? Come to the basement downstairs. Yes, if you beat me at any point, I’ll free everyone. It’s nice to have such a provocative friend…”
Upon hearing the answer, Oliver reached out and placed a finger on the puppet’s temple.
“good. Well, I’ll take this one for now. Because I won.”
“Oh, I like that attitude.”
With those words, Oliver fired a little hat bullet and pierced the corpse doll’s temple.
The light disappeared from his eyes like a thread was cut, and it was scattered all over.
Everyone was silent, but Oliver opened the leather case wrapped around his waist and pulled out a folded glutton bag.
Come to think of it, is this your first time actually taking it out?
someone asked
“that. What the hell is that…”
The gluttonous bag that had been folded along with that horse began to swell like bread dough.
I ordered a human-sized one, but it was slightly larger than a human because of the swelling.
Along with him, traces of connecting several human skins and eyeballs attached to all directions were visible.
He was as self-aware as he had grown in size, but he was feeling a bit confused about the current situation because he was suddenly called.
“Food Pouch.”
At Oliver’s call, Gluttony Pouch turned toward Oliver.
It seemed to be far from agility and agility moving around.
“nice to meet you. My name is Dave, your owner. If it’s okay with you, can you swallow some of that?”
Oliver pointed to Puppet’s corpse doll, ‘Shevy’.
The gluttonous pockets seemed reluctant to see if they didn’t suit his taste.
Come to think of it, did you say that you like money and precious metals that have a monetary value in your pockets?
The gluttonous bag looked at the corpse doll and saw Oliver.
It reminded me of a snake with limbs, but it didn’t show any signs of rebellion, whether the person who made it was good.
Rather, he was obedient.
The gluttonous pouch shrank again when Oliver ordered it after swallowing the corpse doll, and Oliver folded it up one by one and put it back into the leather case.
After putting it all in, Oliver asked the people who were standing blankly.
“Would anyone like to go fight the puppet with me?”
