88. Puppet (4)
The black light turned on and the darkness in the room was lifted.
It could have been ironic indeed.
But Oliver looked around instead of being drenched in emotion.
The brick room, which is neither too big nor too small, was reminiscent of Joseph’s Secret Altar of the past.
Heaps of dismembered corpses were scattered around the room.
An unknown pattern was engraved in the center of the wall.
Two crescent moons and X marks drawn in a circle, a candlestick and a cross.
It was the same pattern I saw when I first fell here.
But the one that stood out the most was none other than the puppet.
“It’s nice to see you in person.”
Puppet was a very tall man in his early to mid 40s.
His skin was pale, his nose was hooked, and his cheekbones were very prominent, giving the impression of a skull.
Oliver asked, staring at him, who was eccentric.
“It’s nice to meet you too… You have a pretty unusual body, don’t you?”
Puppet smiled slightly. Then he got up and moved his bare hands like a skeleton.
With him, some of the corpse scraps scattered around the room moved and completely blocked the only entrance Oliver had entered.
It wasn’t just blocking, but teeth, jawbones, and skulls just hit the air—! Just-! He showed his intention to attack and bite anything that came in contact with it, much like the entrance to hell the mine supervisors were talking about.
Oliver said quietly.
“You are wonderful. To create such obstacles on the meat shield based on hunger and greed.”
“Free idea is the basis of black magic… That’s great though. You’ll see it once and you’ll understand. At most, I think he was around twenty years old… From whom did you learn?”
“How amazing.”
“What is strange?”
“My disciple said the same thing. A person named Glyph of the puppeteer.”
Oliver said deliberately.
I wonder if I can shake the puppet.
However, the puppet’s emotions were just as calm as at the beginning.
“Well····. I don’t know who it is. I’m sorry, but I’ve lived for hundreds of years and taught countless students. It’s hard to remember every single one. Since I can’t remember, I’m sure he’s not a big deal.”
As soon as he heard those words, Oliver recalled a conversation he had with the puppeteer Glip.
I don’t know about anything else, but for one thing, I vividly remembered the pride of being the disciple of the owner, the puppet.
Two opposite feelings.
Oliver said involuntarily.
“It’s a little sad…”
“sad? what?”
“Glip had a lot of respect for Puppet. But, Puppet-sama doesn’t remember, it’s like… It’s a little sad.”
Puppet stared at Oliver and slowly approached him.
“It’s fun. I don’t know what sad is, but you say it’s sad. very heterogeneous Like an animal that mimics humans… What is your identity?”
What is your identity? Oliver didn’t know how to answer this question.
“…I’m Dave, the solver of the former area T.”
“okay? What is it, you’ll find out if you check it out.”
With those words, Puppet reached out his hand. Hands with creepy black emotions.
[Thrust]
Fortunately, Oliver’s actions were quicker.
The first shot was the black magic Thrust, which converts emotions into shock waves to push and destroy the opponent.
Because I instinctively knew that I wasn’t someone I could deal with properly.
Actually, that prediction was correct.
“That body…. What the hell is it?”
Oliver asked as he watched the puppet recover in an instant, destroyed and torn.
A life force that could not be thought of as one person’s life emanated from within the body, and the wound healed, and it was truly strange.
But even more bizarre were the multitudes of people under the puppet’s skin.
“aah
“Save me—! Take it out-! Kill me—!!”
“Kihya hya hyang hyang hyang hyanghyang-!!!”
“Kill Kil K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K’’’”
“Kuee!!”
“aah I will kill you! I will kill you!!”
“Mom! Mom! Mom!”
“Quee…!! Quee…!!”
They howled as if they wanted to get out of the puppet’s body, and pressed the puppet’s belly with countless hands and faces.
But I just pushed and couldn’t get out,
This spectacle evoked a strange discomfort that could not be said of this world.
A level that would cause pathological disgust in ordinary people just by looking at it.
Of course, Oliver was more curious than displeased.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how you look at it, that thing in front of you was out of the realm of normal black magic.I was purely curious as to how such a thing was possible.
“What is that body? Is it a combination of an invoice doll and a gluttonous pouch?”
Puppet looked at his body and answered.
“Let’s say half the answer is right.”
With those words, the puppet elicited a mass of emotions from within.
Unlike the warlocks I’ve met so far, he extracted emotions directly from his body… No, that word might be meaningless.
It wasn’t his own body, but it was forcibly pulled from the countless people trapped in it.
It was a pretty surprising idea.
Combining an invoice doll and a gluttonous pouch to trap people and extract emotions.
Again, it was outside the scope of general black magic.
“What the hell is it?”
“I wonder who you really are. There is no particular agitation even after watching ‘This’… Well, can we take it slow from now on?”
Puppet chattered and slowly turned his emotions into black magic, but without missing the timing, Oliver fired a Hat Bullet.
The gathered emotions were destroyed by Oliver’s swift attack.
When it comes to firepower battles, the victory of the puppet, who has an overwhelming amount of emotion, is self-evident.
Puppet said, raising one eyebrow.
“Oh, after all, the sense is quite…”
━━━hooks!
Faba Babat ━━!
Oliver’s shadow spikes pierced the puppet’s body.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only that, more thorns sprouted around the spike, giving another blow from the inside of the body, but it didn’t seem like there was much damage to the puppet.Even though his body was pierced by thorns, instead of screaming, he broke the shadow spike and escaped on his own, and was recovering again.
Each time, the people inside the body screamed horribly.
aa
“Five······. It’s not just physically locking a person inside a body.”
“answer····. Is this the end of it?”
“no.”
Oliver said so and pounded the quarterstaff to the floor.
A black cube surrounded the puppet to the tick-tak- sound, but it wasn’t just the puppet.
In addition to the puppet, there were minions inside the black cube.
A minion that fed Lars Boom and Explosion Fury to the max.
“Minion, please.”
With those words, the minion trapped with the puppet exploded inside the black cube.
It was a huge explosion, and perhaps Oliver would be swept away with it if he hadn’t limited the firepower by wrapping it in a black cube.
The aftermath and smoke of the explosion made it impossible to see inside the Black Cube, but Oliver was sure he had knocked down the puppet.
Because I couldn’t see the emotions.
However, that was an illusion.
Something flew through the Black Cube and towards Oliver.
Oliver reflexively fired a bullet of hate and hit it, but surprisingly, it didn’t even pierce the bullet of hate, it even pierced his black suit and hit Oliver’s shoulder.
Whoops!
This is the first time I have been directly affected by leaving my family.
Oliver pulled out what was lodged in his shoulder and checked.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
None other than fingers.The puppet was shooting with black magic in her finger, but before she could even think about it, she felt another black magic.
As I turned my gaze forward, the remains of corpses lying in the corner of the room suddenly gathered together to form a giant claw arm.
Arms of rotten flesh and fingers of ribs rushed towards Oliver.
Oliver hurriedly raised the output of the Hat Bullet to the maximum and shot it, but it did not do much damage due to its overwhelming size.
Bang ━━━━━!!!
Claws made of rotten flesh and ribs grabbed Oliver and slammed him against the wall as hard as he could, causing incontinence to the wall with a loud noise.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only that, but his ribbed fingers were tight, and it would have been minced meat if Oliver hadn’t worn a black suit.The spine is broken, the ribs are broken, the intestines are crushed…
Oh, that was pretty dangerous.
I heard the black suit cracking.
“How did you do it?”
“What?”
The puppet who broke the black cube asked.
He suffered burns in the aftermath of the explosion, and much of his body was destroyed, but surprisingly, he was recovering immediately.
doesn’t seem to matter.
“For a moment, I couldn’t see any emotions. Up there, the basement wall here… How did you do it?”
“Well, I wouldn’t normally answer it, but even in this situation, your attitude of asking a question is polite and you answer it. It’s a skill I learned to deal with warlocks with good eyes like you. Surprisingly, it works well in battles between warlocks. Those with good eyes rely only on their eyes.”
“Did you learn? Did you learn anything from the devil?”
“Five·····. Are you good-looking?”
“I can’t even hide my emotions, and I can’t even see her body with normal black magic……. Did you get it from worshiping the devil?”
Oliver asked, reminding him that Joseph’s powers and talents were obtained through the devil.
There was no intention of insulting him, but for some reason Puppet’s face suddenly contorted.
It was as if Oliver had unintentionally touched his sensitive part.
“..don’t say it right away.”
The puppet came closer.
I could see his emotions, which had always been calm and relaxed, wavered with displeasure.
“I’m not serving the devil… just. It’s just trading. After doing a lot of research, sometimes there are things that get stuck… That’s why I only trade occasionally, very occasionally.”
“····Oh, I see.”
As Oliver answered, the emotions in his hands exploded.
In the past, it was mimicked reminiscent of a fight with the magic tower wizards, causing a chain explosion of emotions and shattering the corpse arm that held Oliver.
Without embarrassment, Puppet lifted his fingers and put the shattered corpse back together.
But it didn’t matter. Because Oliver was faster this time.
After targeting the puppet’s body, additional black magic was cast on the surrounding ribs and teeth.
Then ribs, shinbones, teeth, and jawbones were lodged in various parts of the puppet’s body, like gunshots from all directions.
Bubber Bubb Bubbub ━━━━━━!!!
Thanks to this, bones were densely embedded in the body of the puppet, and the movement of the puppet was sealed for an instant.
“Technology is good, but in the end it’s fine technique. Such a petty attack on me-”
[-Ras Bullet]
Oliver fired a bullet of hatred that compressed Lars Boom as much as possible at the crack in the puppet’s body.
The puppet, whose body was full of bones, was unable to defend itself as it should. Or, you didn’t.
Gwanggwang ━━━━━!
It was less powerful than the first, but there was an intense explosion, and it was even more powerful because it exploded inside the puppet’s body.
The smoke cleared and the puppet’s condition was visible, but the puppet’s upper body was half blown away by the explosion.
However, that made no sense.
Her upper body was shattered by the explosion, but she was recovering at the same time.
‘Nope·····. That recovery is not free.’
Indeed it was
Because the damage was so great, he used the vitality of the people inside his body to a great extent, which means that there was definitely a limit.
If Oliver continued to attack like this, he could have been defeated.
However, the problem is…
ㅡ q !
Puppet stretched out his arms and grabbed Oliver’s neck.
The grip was so strong that the weakened black suit broke at once, leaving Oliver in a state like a tortoise that had lost its shell.
“It seems that all my emotions have slowly gone down… Right?”
Oliver affirmed silently. I felt a stronger grip on my neck.
“I’m sorry. After all, warlocks basically have limited firepower. you····. It’s kind of fun, but that’s all. Just a widespread and widespread genius. It’s over now.”
With those words, Puppet brought Oliver to his nose and opened his mouth.
It opened its mouth so wide that it could swallow a person whole.
Oliver then saw something other than a human body inside the puppet’s jaw. that·····.
“It is the entrance to hell. Don’t swallow it whole.”
With its reddish-black mouth, the puppet tried to swallow Oliver.
It is not known if this is real hell or what, but Oliver looked very attentively, as if fascinated by the scene in front of him. I even felt like I was missing something.
It’s like returning to your hometown… Is that so? Oliver reached into it without realizing it.
And then, as it was, he extracted the fluctuating emotions at the entrance of hell.
