Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 220 We'll Kill You Until You Submit

Inside the giants' skull fortress, there is a room specifically for storing gold and silver treasures, filled with the wealth and treasures collected by the giants when they ravaged the human world.

It's unclear why these giants, who never use currency and for whom gold and silver are meaningless, would collect these things.

But when Wayne arrived at the enormous treasure room, he couldn't help but smile and let out a delighted laugh.

For no other reason than that there was so much gold and jewels here. No one knew how long those giants had ravaged the world, how many countries they had robbed, or how many treasures of nobles and royalty they had taken. In this simple room built of ordinary stones, the mountains of gold were covered with a lot of dust.

There were many statues, cups, and utensils cast in gold, piled up there, and even an exquisite harp cast entirely in gold, which was simply a work of art.

However, these have now become Lord Wayne's property, and Lord Wayne's financial power has been greatly enhanced.

He simply walked around the room a few times, admiring it for a few dozen seconds, then patted the black money pouch on his belt, wanting his little assistant to come out and work.

A few seconds later, Vivian, wearing a cute pink pajama top and a cartoon hair clip, peeked out of the purse and sleepily looked around, calling out:

"Master Wayne, Vivian is taking a nap right now. Unless it's something important..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the little guy immediately widened his eyes, all sleepiness vanished, and flapped his little wings as he flew out of the money bag. Then, he flew quickly throughout the room, making cheerful noises.

"Haha! Haha! So much gold!"

"Are we going to get rich?"

"Lord Wayne, is this the treasury of some kingdom? Are we going to rob it?"

Vivian cheered as she took out beautiful jewels from the pile of treasures, drooling as if they were her favorite treasures, and hugged them to her arms, completely disregarding the dust on them.

Wayne wasn't really interested in the pretty jewelry; he was only concerned with how much money he could get for it. So, he beckoned to Vivian, and after the little one reluctantly put down the jewelry, Wayne poked her little tummy, which was showing through her pajamas, with his finger and said:

"Vivian, exchange all the gold in this house for gold coins, and keep only the twenty most valuable and beautiful pieces of jewelry. You can also choose one as a gift from me."

Upon hearing that she would also receive a gift, Vivienne immediately hugged Wayne's finger, rubbing her face against it like a kitten, excitedly saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne, I love you to death."

Vivian was very efficient. As a special race created by the Goddess of Wealth, they were born with all sorts of special magic. In less than an hour, all the gold and jewels in the room were converted into gold coins at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the room was empty, only a treasure chest made of gold remained, containing twenty of the most magnificent and valuable jewels.

Vivian used magic to lift the box and place it in front of Wayne. Then, hands on her hips, she wiped the sweat from her brow and said excitedly:

"Lord Wayne, the gold coins have been exchanged. The treasure here is worth a total of 503,623 Orens. Since it is all pure gold, it was not purchased at half the price of spoils. The Goddess of Wealth only charged a one percent handling fee."

Upon hearing about this income, Wayne couldn't help but smile.

With a sum of over 500,000 euros, even after paying off the loan, he would still have over 400,000 euros left, a fortune that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

In the entire Kingdom of Temuria, only the great nobles could rival Wayne in wealth; it was truly a windfall.

With this sum of money, many of our plans can now proceed smoothly.

Vivian was also very happy to receive a piece of jewelry. Although the little girl was very sensible and only chose an ordinary gemstone bracelet, the jewelry that could be displayed in this room must be worth at least several hundred orens, which was already a very generous tip.

When Wayne returned to the main hall of Skull Fortress, several captured royal guards had been rescued, and he also saw Jack, the movie's protagonist, dressed in a fur coat and looking like a villager.

However, at this point, without the magic crown and magic beans, Jack was at most just an ordinary person with good luck, and he had never accomplished the feat of rescuing a damsel in distress. Princess Elizabeth didn't have any feelings for him.

The young princess kept her eyes fixed on Wayne as he entered the hall, clearly more attracted to the powerful, mysterious, and handsome Witcher.

Upon entering the hall, Wayne walked straight to the princess and calmly asked:

"I'm going up there to fight the giants. Would you like to come and watch, Princess Elizabeth?"

Before the officer could answer, Captain Emont, who had just been rescued, spoke first:

"Master Wayne, we wish to escort the princess back to the surface immediately. You have obtained the Magic Crown and subdued the giants; I must report this to His Majesty the King."

"Otherwise, they might cut down the magic vines, and then none of us will be able to get back to the ground."

Wayne understood the hidden meaning in his words, but ignored him and continued to look at the princess, waiting for her answer.

Elizabeth, with her innate love of adventure, didn't think too much about it. Faced with Wayne's invitation, she naturally didn't refuse. With a smile on her face, she quickly boarded the magic carpet, then expertly wrapped her arms around Wayne's waist and asked:

"Mr. Wayne, don't you already possess the Magic Crown? Why do you still want to use other means to subdue these giants?"

"What do you want these giants for?"

Elizabeth asked a question that Emont and the others also wanted to know. Although Wayne didn't have to answer, he didn't bother to hide it and simply said:

"Although these giants are all evil beings, they are still a powerful force. And power itself is neither good nor evil; it all depends on how you use it."

After saying this, he looked at Princess Elizabeth, who seemed lost in thought, and said calmly:

"There is another group of villains in a faraway place. I plan to use these giants to deal with another group of evil people. Even if both sides perish together, it will be a good deed."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and took the princess directly, flying out of the eye socket of the Skull Castle and onto the open ground above the canyon where the giants were waiting.

There wasn't much small talk, and the battle with the giants began quickly.

Faced with the opportunity to change their fate as slaves, not all giants were willing to submit; they would fight for their freedom.

The first to appear was the strongest of the Titans, named Prouman, who was about ten meters tall. He wore a suit of iron armor covering most of his body, held a huge spiked club, and wore an iron helmet. In terms of defensive equipment, he already surpassed most of the Titans.

Unfortunately, when he faced Excalibur in Wayne's hand, Wayne's immense strength and agility caused their weapons to collide. His spiked club was severed in one blow, followed by the swift severing of his knees at the joints.

By the time he fell to the ground, Wayne's greatsword had already mercilessly severed the giant's head.

This scene greatly surprised both the giants present and Princess Elizabeth watching the battle. They had originally thought that Wayne was like a wizard in a story, only able to unleash various magical spells and not good at close combat. However, they did not expect that Wayne's speed and strength were no less than those of ordinary giants.

In addition to his superb swordsmanship and his small size that makes him adept at dodging, it's likely that no giant could possibly be his match in a one-on-one fight.

By the time Emont and the others climbed the cliff and arrived at the viewing point, the number of people fighting Wayne had increased to five giants. The giants no longer cared about outnumbering the enemy and were frantically trying to seize their only chance to reclaim their freedom.

However, when facing five enemies, Wayne no longer held back. He unleashed his unpredictable blinking ability, powerful swordsmanship, astonishing physical abilities, and the immense power of the Witcher's Sign.

The five giants couldn't even catch a glimpse of Wayne before he cleanly and efficiently beheaded them from behind with his greatsword or by using his magic signs.

The battle ended even faster than when they had just fought a single giant, which immediately caused an uproar among the giants, filling them with frustration.

After the two battles ended, the atmosphere on the battlefield was somewhat somber. Wayne boarded the magic carpet and shouted at the giants:

"I already showed you mercy in those two battles on the ground."

"Now, this is the final challenge. You can choose fifty giants, and I will give you one more hour to prepare. I will not show any mercy."

"If you cannot defeat me even with fifty giants, then you should know that you cannot defeat me."

"If you ever dare to have any disloyal thoughts again, I will make your giant race disappear from this world."

This is not an exaggeration. There are probably only about three hundred giants on the entire island of Gantowa, some strong and some weak, some young and some looking very old.

If they manage to defeat Wayne even with one-fifth of their best warriors, that speaks volumes.

Soon, Wayne stood on the magic flying carpet, watching the giants' discussion. He also noted down the giants with some prestige among them. If these giants survived the battle, they would be the focus of his attention.

The giants were not fools; they knew very well that the upcoming battle would determine the fate of their race. Faced with Wayne's aerial advantage, the giants immediately mobilized the entire race's strength to search for a large number of projectiles.

Most of them were stones of varying sizes. Some were made from relatively straight trees. At one point, the giants were even more cunning and brought their fishing nets, attempting to use them to capture the witchers flying in the sky.

However, their hopes were quickly dashed, as Wayne did not give them that opportunity.

An hour passed quickly.

This time, Wayne didn't fly at a height of two or three hundred meters, a distance that could barely be reached by projectiles. He stopped at a height of about five hundred meters, and then, to the astonishment of all the giants participating in the battle, he pulled out a large number of alchemical bombs.

He created this while practicing his skills in Vizima, and it has been stored for almost a year. It won't be long before it expires. Now that he has made such a fortune, he is taking this opportunity to let these giants experience the power of money. It can also be considered a way to make use of waste.

Soon, under the control of the Igni Sign, which Wayne ignited remotely, hundreds of alchemical bombs of various types were rained down on the fifty giants below.

There are honeycomb bombs that explode at the slightest touch, Dragon's Dream bombs that can burn with high-temperature flames, Demon Dust that can release large amounts of poison gas, and even the North Wind bombs that were left over from the last time we fought the evil god and can instantly freeze the target.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the booming sounds of explosions, fire, poison gas, and frost, but most of all, the desperate and mournful howls of the giants were heard everywhere.

The giants hurled the prepared projectiles at the witchers in the sky with all their might, but their resistance was futile. Almost all the projectiles only flew two or three hundred meters before falling back down, some even hitting their own men.

Within just five minutes of the battle beginning, nearly a third of the giants had perished from explosions, poison gas, and frost.

Not only the giants on the battlefield, but also Princess Elizabeth, Emont, and other giants who were watching from the sidelines all stared wide-eyed.

Witnessing the carnage on the battlefield, they felt a deep fear of these powerful spells.

Having never seen a bomb before, they regarded all these weapons of mass destruction as Wayne's magic. They found it hard to imagine that a human who looked much like them could unleash such devastating power and easily kill dozens of giants with magic.

It's likely that even the entire army of the Kingdom of Abiran would meet the same fate in the face of such powerful magic.

Moreover, the enemy could fly freely and had an aerial advantage, which rendered the tall city walls on which humans depended for survival useless, turning them into coffins that encased them.

A few minutes later, half of the giants on the field were dead, and some of the remaining giants, seeing no hope of victory, were already shouting for mercy and surrendering.

Hearing such pleas for mercy, Wayne remained unmoved. He produced a second-circle amplification scroll preserved by the legendary mage Tesla and said indifferently:

"Once you're on this battlefield, there's no option to surrender; only one side can survive."

After saying that, he ignored the despair on the giants' faces, took out a large number of bombs, and continued to transform into a bomber, throwing them precisely, blasting the giants below to pieces and burning them into charred corpses.

Even the giants who tried to escape were not spared. With a cold expression, he took out his Dragon Roar Great Bow and used metal arrows to shoot them one by one on their escape route.

The battle is over, and the dust has settled.

Wayne slowly descended before the remaining two hundred-odd giants. He didn't take out Eric's crown, but simply met their gazes coldly, saying:

"Show your loyalty to your master, you slaves."

"You've already been given your chance. You should know very well what will happen if you resist me."

"Kneel down and accept your fate."

Although these giants were four or five times his height, they all fearfully avoided his gaze in the face of Wayne's cold stare.

No living being is unafraid of death, especially when the opponent possesses a treasure they cannot resist and power they cannot fight back against.

Led by a few sensible giants, the remaining two hundred-odd giants quickly knelt down like a tide, prostrating themselves low and shouting:

"Master, we will obey your orders."
