Episode 54 – Genius Mage 5 (Correction)

Werner was definitely an excellent wizard. But that didn’t mean the strongest.

A sword attack that flew from an impossible place, a stab that flew in from behind, and a slash with an irregular trajectory. Werner couldn’t come to his senses with these three combinations, and he was going crazy and jumping to the rescue to protect Airi.

Because he was holding Airi, his body movements were restricted, and he had no time to cast magic spells, and before he knew it, his robes were tattered and tattered.

Introducing himself as Gaheris of the Black Round Table, the man who attacked Werner laughed. His red sword hit the ground and a small but clear sound resounded.

“As expected, the skill of dodging is also excellent.”

“It’s not worth fighting against the Heavenly Demon Grandpa.”

Every time he sparred with the Heavenly Demon, he was hit by a fictitious day, and learning how to avoid it in order to survive finally shined. However, even so, the difference between sparring and actual combat was very large.

Werner tried desperately not to touch Gaheris’ sword. However, this only prolonged the stalemate and could never end the situation simply by avoiding it. However, he was not a formidable skill enough to allow the enemy to memorize a spell. Werner, who was literally in a situation of dilemma, asked this far away. He regretted that he had to bring his brothers and sisters, even if he was explaining the hateful past.

Then, Airi started crying.

Werner realized that his expression was dark and smiled lightly again, reassuring Airi.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get you to see mom and dad soon.”

Then, seeing Airi stop crying, Werner took off the hem of his robe and threw it away. Then, the white shirt and black pants he was wearing underneath were revealed.

Gaheris tilted his head and asked.

“Eh… Wouldn’t it be easier to wear a robe to avoid my sword attack…?”

“No, I’m going to fight with all my heart instead of avoiding it now, so it’s cumbersome.”

Werner took a deep breath. Now that the battle has become such a mess, various magics that require chanting, including great magic, are difficult. If so, there is one way.

The moment has come when I have to use what I learned from my older brothers and sisters and Grandpa Chunma.

‘Certainly, the power of the feet… no, gathering mana and taking a step out…’

Heavenly Demon Goddess – Black Winged Dragon

It was the footsteps that Heavenly Demon grandfather taught Werner. Werner thought about using it to escape for a while, but felt that giving his back was more dangerous, so he decided to use it in a fight.

When Gaheris saw Werner suddenly disappear, he even whistled and relaxed.

“Whisyu… Is this a skill you learned from other heroes?”

And Gaheris blocked Werner’s knife from behind. It was originally a knife used for survival, but there was no problem in piercing a person’s neck. Of course, that was also a story when the party was obediently treated.

“It would have been better if he had stabbed me with his foot dexterity, but even a great mage is a rookie in a battle like this.”

Werner swallowed dryly.

‘Because I know? But if you approach it rashly and get stabbed by that red sword, you’ll feel like you’re going to get fucked.’

However, the knife throwing technique he learned from Squa was useless, and the weapon skills he learned from Sieg, Melchior, and the Knight Commander could not be used unless there were other weapons.

In that case, the only skills I could use were the ones I learned from Heavenly Demon Grandpa and the ones that imitated Squaa noona’s skills. It would be rude to compare the precision and power of the two, but I had no choice but to use them.

Werner kicked off the cave wall again and cast Black Wings Wings. Gaheris turned his back to match the movement and said.

“After all, is that foot skill again? Even if I catch the back, it won’t harm me unless I use magic…”

However, the place Werner was headed was not behind Gaheris, but in Gaheris’ arms. It was close enough to fit a finger in.

Werner concentrated his magical energy on his palm and poured it into Gaheris’ breastplate.

Heavenly Demon Goddess – Great Dark Heavenly God

Then, a condensed explosion occurred, shattering the armor Gaheris was wearing and turning it into powder, and Gaheris was pinned to the wall.

‘If Heavenly Demon Grandpa used it, he would have exploded the whole person.’

After all, imitation is imitation, and it falls far short of the skill that the original owner had honed. If the Heavenly Demon grandfather had used it, it would have destroyed at least one large rocky mountain.

But that didn’t mean there was no damage. Convinced that it was a technique created by the Heavenly Demon grandfather, Werner approached the fallen Gaheris. I didn’t want to leave behind any regrets, so I had to stop breathing.

At that time, Gaheris, who thought he had fallen, launched a surprise attack on Werner, who approached him, with a thrust close to the speed of sound. Even pretending to faint in the first place was all deception. He was convinced that he would win with one stab.

However, what Gaheris’ sword pierced was the ragged robe that Werner had just taken off.

Werner stood where the robe had been thrown off and wiped away the cold sweat.

“Wow, you really almost fucked up.”

Phantom Magic – Duck change

It was a technique that the phantom thief Squaa enjoyed using, as magic that changed the position of an object marked with magical power and its position. Of course, if she used it, she could change the position of an object more than 500km away, but Werner’s technique was literally just a mimic, so the range was limited to about 8m.

Werner felt a sense of incongruity in the first place. Looking at the speed with which he wields his sword, he’s not usually strong, but he fainted from the impact that just shattered his breastplate? There was an openly disgusting smell. So, mimicking the magic that Squaa sister often showed, she imitated magic on the robe she was wearing.

And as expected, Gaheris was just acting faint, but in reality he was fine.

However, the fact that he had a strange confidence in that sword to the extent of aiming for a surprise attack even while intentionally getting hit by an attack still made him uncomfortable.

“There’s something about that sword.”

“Yes… This is one of the rare magic swords even within our sword.”

Again, Werner, disappointed that the detailed performance was not explained, clicked his tongue. The battle situation was fixed again, Werner picked up the knife he had just thrown, and Gaheris took up his red sword and stance.

Werner threw the knife, and Gaheris dashed and slashed it away. With the weapons gone and the distance so close, Werner seemed to have no choice.

But Werner sprinkled the powder he was holding onto his left hand. The armor of Gaheris, which had just been smashed, was crushed with magical power and turned into powder.

Gaheris was taken aback for a moment, but then spoke with a displeased expression.

“What is this prank… I thought I hid a secret number.”

“The number of spleens is correct, you idiot.”

“What…?”

“I showed you. Swapping the position of an object marked with magical power and myself. But actually, it is possible to change the location of an object with another object.”

Gaheris tilted his head. I couldn’t understand why the situation was like this with that flirtatious prank.

“Do you remember the things I touched?”

Only then did Gaheris start to break out in a cold sweat.

“The knives thrown at you… and the iron dust that was thrown at you.”

“That means…”

“Didn’t you just inhale a small amount? Now then, what would happen if you switched the location of the dagger and the dust that got into your lungs?”

Gaheris tried to cut Werner’s neck before he could do anything, but unfortunately Werner’s claps were faster.

Gaheris, who was pierced by a knife that appeared in his lungs, collapsed on the spot, spurting blood. Werner immediately blew his magic and tried to finish it off, but…

Airi, who was a baby, burst into tears.

“Yes, were you scared? Yes, I won’t do anything scary in front of you, so please stop.”

Just in case, Werner focused his magic on one hand and checked Gaheris’ pulse. So that if something happens, I can blow my head right away. However, as a result of checking the pulse, Gaheris’ pulse was clearly cut off.

Werner sighed and removed the magic.

But the moment Werner turned his back,

hooked

And the red sword pierced Werner’s side.

“uh…?”

“The skill of faking death is like a toddler to us, the Black Round Table… After all, you’re a newbie.”

Gaheris coughed up blood and stabbed the demonic sword deeply.

“The name of this sword is… Cool! It’s the magic sword Barisada… It’s a sword to kill mages like you… Now you’d rather die for the rest of your life… savor the pain.”

With those words, Gaheris’ breath stopped.
