Offer a Tribute and Become the Grand Wizard Episode 121

Burning Wizard [2]

Cloud’s eyes darkened.

Ironically, the darkened vision reminded him of old memories.

The past started with burning pain.

I suffered this kind of humiliation back then too.

While he was falling down, he was hit by a shoe from a high-ranking person and lost his eye.

‘Unlucky bastard!’

‘You bastard.’

‘Surrounding a witch? ‘This bastard should have died too!’

In his memory.

A woman’s severed head was cradled in Cloud’s arms.

It was his lover.

It was his family.

It was his everything.

He was beheaded and his head was cut off.

He had no strength.

All I had to do was watch my lover die, accused of being a witch. Cloud, who held his severed head in his arms and protected it to the end, got up in a huff and ran away.

To the forest, to the river, to the forest again.

He abandoned everything, held his woman’s head, ran, ran, and hid.

“Why do I have to run away? why me! “Melissa didn’t do anything wrong, so why… why…!”

Injustice and resentment poured out.

However, the head held in his arms was silent.

I didn’t even open my eyes.

Cloud cried and left again.

Then I met a man.

He was a young man with white hair and red eyes.

It looked foreign at first glance, but I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

He called himself a wizard.

“7.1 points. “You are rotting away your treasure.”

“… yes?”

he said

Melissa became a grimoire.

He said it was something that happened occasionally in life.

“Human obsession is foolish.”

However, despite the foolishness, miracles are bound to occur.

“Don’t disappoint me. cloud.”

That is the Grand Wizard of the Empire.

It was the first meeting with Genos and the moment when Cloud became a wizard.

*

“Kwaaaaaa!!”

A scream erupted.

The thoughts of memories were quickly forgotten.

But the regret lingered.

‘Why did it become like this? I am. I… must not disappoint Him!’

But it hurts so much.

Memories of when I was foolish kept coming back to me. Anger made me lose my reason and my instincts ran wild. His feet say run, his heart says tear him to death.

But nothing can be done.

The one who turned into a sparrow was too fast.

“Yorijori! Cooking! “Yorijori!”

“Kaaaaak!”

“I can’t believe it even after seeing it…”

It is truly strange to see a wizard being attacked by just a sparrow. However, Gaisha thought that it was a truly wasteful sight to see alone.

“I sharpened my beak for this day!”

I haven’t really polished it in any way.

Trophy obtained by killing an enemy.

Its power was only increased by offering grimoires and souls as tribute.

‘Victor. ‘You were right.’

A sparrow that pecked out the eyes of a snake several times larger than itself. His thrusts contained a power that encompassed all species. According to common sense, it would be difficult for a sparrow to kill a huge snake such as a snake.

But Victor did it. Gods are usually like that. You have to do that to become a god. No, that’s why he became a god! Does Ronobe really have the right to ignore the sparrow’s God-given gift of pecking eyeballs?

‘Eyeball pecking is not just a simple sparrow-level peck.’

Deep inside, there is an unprecedented power that led him to God.

It inflicts damage by pecking with its beak.

It has a very simple power.

‘Penetrate.’

The power that should have permeated the arrow or spear goes through the roots and eventually flows into the teeth, claws, and beak. Having sharp penetrating power is ultimately a great weapon possessed by creatures from the generation before tools.

The beak of someone who is a sparrow but has become a god.

The miraculous power contained in it was contained in the beak of a humble sparrow.

The power itself is not insignificant.

“My beak is a beak that pierces the sky!”

“Ugh!”

Pecking out Victor’s eyeballs.

The results it achieved were great.

Cloud’s eyes were pierced and he couldn’t come to his senses, shedding bloody tears.

“Those eyes aren’t ordinary eyes, are they? I knew it contained magical energy. “It’s probably something like a grimoire.”

It’s surprising that the eyes were made into grimoires, but they were transplanted. It was probably not an ordinary method, and it was more likely to be tied with a magical string rather than connected to a nerve. That’s probably why it’s so painful.

“This is called magic…!!”

Unlike Ronobe, who was energetic, Cloud was angry.

It was clearly an excellent means and a surprise attack.

But the result was only due to the sparrow’s beak. He could never tolerate this as an imperial wizard who was overly obsessed with magic. He can’t believe he’s just a sparrow’s beak. How could this not be despairing? It never, ever should have come to that.

“Are you planning to make fun of me…!!”

“I’ll tease you with all my heart and soul! I still have four shots left of my magic! Eyeball peck! Eyeball peck! “Peck out the eyeballs!”

“Kaaaaak!”

The momentum waned.

Cloud was unable to come to his senses due to Ronobe’s persistent attack on only one side. Even if he covers his eyes with his hand, his beak is small and strong enough to squeeze through his fingers. I pecked my beak, intending to pierce his eyes and pierce his brain.

With the intention of piercing through the brain and all the way to the sky!

[I’ve done the number of times, so would you like me to increase my strength?]

There are a total of five grimoires that Ronobe obtained through this expedition.

I handed one of them to Victor.

“Isn’t Sparrow-sama’s strength only this much? “I know.”

[The guy who forgot my name talks a lot.]

“The name is not important. “Isn’t the heart important?”

Victor laughed and nodded.

[My beak challenged the sky. If you wish. It will break through anything.]

Eyes are the window to the heart.

Pecking out the eyes means pecking out the other person’s heart.

Of course, at best it’s a sparrow’s beak.

But doesn’t that make it suitable?

Miracle in two letters.

“At best, a sparrow! “Sparrowoooo!!”

Cloud’s hands stirred.

Ronobe fell like a fly being struck by a palm, but got up right away.

“There’s a cat too!”

Sigh!

Blood ran down my scratched cheek.

“Damn you…!!”

“It was shallow. Oh no! “It was shallow.”

The respect for him as a wizard has long since disappeared. Anyone who uses magic against Cloud is chosen.

They are the ones who perform miracles.

However, he could never forgive Ronobe, who simply used miracles as a means without any dignity.

“What are you going to do! What are you going to do! “What are you going to do when I’m fighting so hard… Ugh!”

Ronobe, hit by the cane, rolled around on the floor again.

But it quickly happened again.

Before I knew it, he was in human form.

As before, there was no damage whatsoever.

In the animal state, no matter how injured, there is no damage to the body. Cloud’s remaining pupil shook as he recognized this.

Right now, Ronobe is literally invincible.

Its very existence was a miracle.

“Damn it… can you still call yourself a wizard! “Even with the great magic of an evil god, how can he use such a dirty miracle to fool me?”

Wizards have wizard fights.

Not losing your dignity.

Maintaining dignity.

That is a duel between a knight and another wizard.

Life and death are separated without having to roll on the dirt or sweat.

That’s a wizard’s duel!

“Yes, I am talented.”

As a Ronobe with modern learning, the more the other person cursed, the more proud I felt. In modern times, if you say, ‘This guy plays a shit game,’ it means that he is very clever and good at it. A criticism from another person is a compliment that comes from the heart.

Ronobe’s body trembled slightly.

An imperial wizard like no other.

It’s a compliment from Wizard.

I had no choice but to raise my shoulders.

“This is not a compliment! “Fighting like a back-alley gangster… It’s a waste of the magic on your neck…!”

Ronobe sneered.

“Your new hook. That lets you dodge most attacks from afar, right? “Do you think I’m a fool?”

Getting angry like that would ultimately be an attempt to create an opening by using magic.

It’s obvious.

As if he had hit the nail on the head, he kept his mouth shut.

“…”

“I have a good ear. He hesitated and talked a lot. I understand that wizards are unique. Because I did that too. “Honestly, you can’t do anything without bragging, right?”

How could we not proudly boast about the moment of miracle?

Ronobe understands too.

So I almost got screwed once!

“You must have been in the forest…”

“Ah, no need to be surprised. “Unlike ordinary people, I have a good ear.”

Even when I went into the forest with my head, the reason I got out right away without making a mistake was because I used my bear ears.

Used it quite a few times.

[Not a grizzly bear, but bear ears and nose? Why?]

“Grizzly bears are strong. But the ears and nose are more useful.”

The two grimoires have already been used to increase the number of bear ears and noses.

The better your hearing and sense of smell, the more advantageous you can gain in a variety of situations. Until now, it was inconvenient to only do this once a day, so we took this opportunity to increase the number of times.

Lonobe’s mouth drew a line as he recalled his conversation with Urdisa.

“Did I look stupid? “Did you think I was going to use those heads as bait and let Gaisha and Elysia’s heads get drunk?!”

Because it almost happened, Ronobe got really angry. At first, he seriously tried to trap all of his heads by digging into the ground and using wet string to grab them.

If I hadn’t used the bear ears, I would have been in real trouble.

‘I win!’

Take the Wizard of the Empire into your own hands!

Ronobe’s feet touched the ground.

I stepped on it with all my might and jumped out.

A state where long-distance magic does not work? Even so, it doesn’t matter. It wasn’t for no reason that I tangled with Aaron and sparred with him.

There is one thing I learned from Aaron.

‘Is it difficult to match your opponent? Then just slam it in. ‘Because you have good strength.’

Ronobe does not have the same technique as Aaron. But he can be a beast with strong muscles. Moreover, the opponent is a tall wizard. The heads that made up him all ran away into the forest and disappeared.

“Do you know what happens if you get hit by a wild boar?”

“What nonsense…”

Kwasik! As soon as the ground is trampled, Ronobe’s transformation takes place.

Hair like a broom. Elongated snout and blunt nose. However, Ronobe’s charging power, transformed into a wild boar with strong tusks and legs, is truly a hand-to-hand combat tank.

Have you ever been run over by a huge wild boar? If not, don’t say anything. Because it fucking hurts.

Wow!

“Oops!”

“The answer is you can fly!”

A devastating blow pierced Cloud’s belly. It feels like my organs are twisted and part of them is just missing.

It hurt so much that it felt like I had lost all feeling in that area. Cloud immediately pulled out everything he had eaten and even the blood from his Danjeon and vomited it out.

“Woooooo!”

Ronobe, who was fluttering slowly and struggling on the floor, stood up and scratched the ground again with his hoof.

And then he charged again.

The wind brushes my blunt nose.

The tusks pierce the belly skin!

Sigh-! It was thrown away as if it had been in a car accident with a one-ton truck. Ronobe, who had been rolling around in the field with Cloud, soon stood up without any problem.

It had a human appearance.

“Ugh!”

I was a little dizzy and tripped and fell, but it didn’t matter. She quickly stood up casually, crossed her arms, and looked down at her Cloud.

“I haven’t given it my all yet. wake up “Imperial wizard.”

Ronobe took out his staff and held it as if spitting it out of his mouth. Cloud looked at him with blurry eyes and swallowed a laugh.

“Monster… like, guy…”

Although he was referring to magic, Ronobe felt embarrassed and made an excuse.

“At least I don’t hang other people’s heads on hooks like you do.”

It’s just spitting things out of your mouth. Isn’t that something you often do in magic shows?

Compared to a guy who sticks people’s heads on hooks, he’s at least a noble person.

Of course, that too will end now.

‘I won’t be able to move anymore.’

Anyone could see that Cloud had the appearance of someone who would die soon. One of his eyes was busted out and bleeding, and his torn body revealed his bruised abdomen and chest. He was stabbed by a wild boar’s tusks and a hole was made, so the place where he was lying was already filled with blood.

There was a win or a loss.

“Is it poison…”

When they attacked, they rolled together and even used their fangs. Cloud felt his body getting stiffer and felt death.

“…don’t die yet. “You need to see this.”

Nevertheless, there was one reason why I took out the cane. Ronobe spread out his palm and created an ice crystal. He immediately brought in the oil and mixed it into one with it.

Ice as ice, oil as oil.

By gradually strengthening its shape, a small, very small crystal-like autumn leaf was created. I put so much effort into making this that I broke out in a cold sweat.

You might be wondering why I had to do something like this, but I had to do it because of Lono Bay, not anyone else.

“Drift ice maple leaves.”

Right now, it’s just an ugly maple leaf.

However, this was also the path that Ronobe would take in the future.

One promise, and one decision.

Frozen, oil-soaked maple leaves fall from Ronobe’s hands. The drift ice maple leaves, smaller than the palm of a dwarf’s hand, fluttered and fell on Cloud.

“Cold-blooded… Is it autumn leaves…”

Tuk. The autumn leaves that fell on his chest instantly seep into Cloud and begin to freeze him.

“is it…”

Cloud remembered her.

A cold-blooded witch.

The miraculous autumn leaves she created.

He smiled bitterly as he remembered Vlad’s territory being devastated by that and himself gnawing at her without even bothering to step forward.

“I hate witches.”

With a self-mocking laugh.

Cloud froze and muttered.

“Still, it’s cool… it feels good.”

Damn it. Wow-!!

Cloud’s frozen, broken body bursts into flames on its own. A black flame soared above the infinitely cold air. The flames burned slowly, as if erasing all traces of him, and consumed him down to the last bit.

A cold and hot era has come to an end.

In front of a man who has left behind the past.

“Goodbye, Imperial Wizard.”

A new era has emerged.
