Episode 53 – Genius Wizard 4

“Frigid cold, eat my enemies.”

As Werner uttered the spell, the soldiers of the Black Round Table froze in an instant. When Werner’s hand touched them, they instantly turned to icy powder and scattered into the air. Although still smiling, Werner was furious.

Dare to kidnap Sieg and Mediah’s daughter, dare to ruin the meeting with the brothers and sisters after a long time, dare to bring tears to Mediah’s cheeks. In Werner’s opinion, each of those sins was a serious felony, and the verdict handed down by Werner was ‘the death penalty for all bastards involved in this’.

Still, those who died from freezing in an instant belonged to those who died comfortably. Rather than dying like a mummy from being deprived of nutrients by the roots of a tree growing out of the ground, being strangled from the soles of your feet to your mouth by an iron stake that rose suddenly, being burned by electricity, or having your whole body cut to pieces by a blade of wind.

Werner grabbed one of the thugs who stood in his way by the neck and cast a spell.

“Thunderbolt snake, crawl on the ground.”

Then, the jobber that Werner was holding on to was crushed by the high-voltage current and died screaming. Judging from the black soot filling the body of the junkie, it seemed that the electric current had been applied continuously until now to the extent that it did not die.

And Werner grabbed the neck of the other janitor who was tied to the root of a tree next to him.

“Hey you know what?”

“What…what do you mean…?”

At first, the little boy shouted loudly that he had invaded without fear, but now he even sneered at the sight of him bowing down.

“I don’t know much about family… Family is a very precious business. I also really cherish my older brothers and sisters.”

“Yeah…?”

“But you touched my family, Zeke hyung and Mediah noona’s family. Zeke doesn’t show it, but it’s going to be really hard, and Mediah noona even cried.”

“I also feel sad when my older brothers and sisters disappear… You make Zeke and Mediah noona feel that kind of pain…”

“Besides, it’s been a while since I met my older brothers and sisters, and you all ruined it. There were so many things I wanted to brag about, but all of them were ruined because of you?”

Werner’s grip began to strangle the janitor’s neck harder.

“So you agree that I can kill you? If there is a difference, I will appeal.”

It was absurd. He choked his throat so hard that even his voice could not come out, and if there was a disagreement, he appealed. Although it was a bully full of malice, the jobber, whose life was extremely precious, made strange noises and desperately tried to beg for his life.

“Kek… Kkeuk Kkeuk Kkeek…”

“I can’t hear you well. I’ll take that as an agreement.”

“Kwaeek! Kwaiak kuee…”

“Should I pronounce it correctly? Then shall I fry it with lightning? Shall I freeze it? Shall I thread it on a skewer? Or suck all the nutrients? Or… all of them?”

The janitor desperately protested, but Werner, as if he didn’t want to hear the sound, pierced his tongue with an iron skewer sticking out of his chin.

“Since it’s skewered, I want to make it skewered, but that’s difficult… Yes, I’ll make you explode.”

He wanted to burn it with fire, but due to the nature of the cave, the fire could spread and endanger Airi, so until now, Werner had sealed the fire magic. Likewise, wide-area magic that is difficult to identify friends was also sealed. But even so, those whose weapons only had magical powers could not defeat the archmage. From the archmage’s point of view, it’s just a little annoying that the wide-area skills are sealed.

Werner put his finger in the junkie’s mouth.

“Earth, vomit the sand through my fingers.”

Werner put a large amount of sand into the junkie’s mouth, and soon after, the lungs and internal organs were filled with sand, and the junkie died the most painfully of all the junkies that died that day. Werner was still thinking that since his stomach exploded and he died, he was happy because he had fulfilled one of the beggars’ wishes.

In front of his older brothers and sisters, he acts like a pure youngest, but his inherent cruelty did not go anywhere. At most, the only person who knew this was Werner’s close friend and only understanding, Lorsha.

Werner lamented in a voice full of annoyance as he stepped on the pool of blood.

“But where the fuck is it really… It’s so damn complicated that it’s a real plague.”

The inside of the cave was in the shape of an ant nest, so the structure was unexpectedly complicated. If you choose one road that splits into two, then a three-way road will come out, and then a four-way road and then a five-way road.

If it wasn’t for Airi, Werner would have just flooded it with a large amount of water or set fire to make a proper barbecue, but Airi was caught and there were too many restrictions. Thanks to that, his robe and hair were covered in blood, and even the smell of the cave began to emanate from his body.

“Oh really, I think I’ve found most of the roads, but I still can’t see them. Oh, you sick bastards, really.”

I hit the letter X on the blood-stained map on the robe that I had been muttering to myself as if I was crazy. The currently confirmed path was a sign that it was wrong.

Two days have passed since I entered the cave. My stamina was at its limit as I worked inside this huge ant nest without sleeping at night. Actually, I didn’t sleep for 3 days before entering the cave, so I continued to use magic for about 5 days. It was a time when no matter how great a wizard he was, his physical limitations would come.

It would have been a little more comfortable if I had brought my colleagues, but I didn’t want to explain why I knew the pattern. Because his older brothers and sisters knew Werner as just an orphan. I didn’t want to worry about my brothers and sisters, and I thought I could solve it myself, so I came in alone, but it wasn’t easy either.

Werner made a tree root grow and perched on it. I just needed to catch my breath for a moment.

“ha…”

Werner has been feeling skeptical lately. Camellia went out to find her father, who had recently gone missing, and had no choice but to keep in touch with her outside by letter, while all her older brothers and sisters were busy taking care of their families or their day jobs. Heavenly Demon Grandpa played with him often, but he often disappeared suddenly to practice. In addition, Sieg and Mediah became busy with Airi. Since he is a child, he knows that it is only natural that he himself has only been hanging out with close friends recently.

Recently, when I was feeling a little awkward at that distance, Medea told me to be the youngest forever. Even if Werner got a little awkward then, they realized again that they were family forever. My older brothers and sisters all worried about me, even if there were times when their words and actions were harsh. Of course, the same was true of the Heavenly Demon.

After taking a break for about 10 minutes, Werner began to accelerate his steps. Not for colleagues like family, but for family.

After walking for a while, a door with a different design appeared in front of Werner. Seeing that there was even a cool decoration in the shape of a skull, it seemed like they were openly advertising that there was something.

“They’ve been trembling and falling down. These bastards haven’t changed a bit.”

Werner turned the doorknob and went inside, and in the cradle placed in the center, Airi was laughing wryly. Only then did Werner, who was relieved, see the assailants wearing robes with their faces covered with masks, and his expression turned upside down. I don’t know what it was, but one thing was certain: there was a plan that wasn’t good.

“Tree, I have prepared food for you, so do not hesitate to suck it up.”

Then, tree roots grew from the ground, entwined the monsters, and began sucking up nutrients. The assailants screamed, but the roots did not stop eating, and eventually several mummies fell to the ground.

Werner approached the cradle placed in the center and was sure of Airi’s condition. Fortunately, there were no strange curses or spells on it, and it was in very good condition.

Seeing Airi smiling brightly at herself, Werner smiled. Although he was concerned about his bloody appearance, he didn’t have time to wipe himself, so he immediately picked up Airi. I was confident in the way to hold a child that I learned from Sister Mediah, even though I was afraid to hold a child at first, so I trembled/

“Come on, let’s go home, Airi. Didn’t your brother and sister not eat properly because they were waiting for you?”

Werner joked with the child who couldn’t understand words properly. If I took Airi out like that, everything would have ended well, but as always, the reality was cruel.

There was someone blocking Werner’s way to bring Airi out.

Werner’s expression, which had been smiling lightly, suddenly changed and he asked a question in a bloody voice.

“What are you doing bastard?”

Then the man drew his sword and answered.

“Nice to meet you. I am the humble one who holds Gaheris’ place at the Black Round Table.”

Seeing the red sword he pulled out, Werner had a hunch.

I mean that’s dangerous.
