Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 311 The Tragic Vigfortz

Vigfortz, a man considered by many original fans to be the strongest wizard.

Known as the best staff master in the world, a metal staff in his hands is more powerful than a witcher's longsword.

His most boast-worthy achievements include breaking Geralt's legs in a sword fight, instantly killing Yennefer in a magical duel, and in the final battle, directly vaporizing the high vampire Regis with magic at point-blank range, almost turning this powerful vampire into vapor, and also defeating Geralt's search party.

If it weren't for a minor accident that led to Geralt's counterattack and death, the outcome of the Civil War might have been very different with Geralt as a troublemaker.

Upon discovering that his enemy was indeed him, Wayne secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the plot had indeed changed a lot compared to the past, it was still within his expectations, which could be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

He stood there, watching Wigofferts, who seemed to be intently studying Princess Pavita's physical data, without finding anything unusual.

Wayne's thoughts flashed by, and with almost no hesitation, he immediately decided to take action and eliminate this future troublemaker.

Although Wigford is a fairly talented warlock, he is also a source warlock, unaffected by the magic barrier, and possesses great strength and deep ambition. He is the type that cannot be subdued and keeping him around would definitely be a menace.

With that in mind, Wayne moved slowly toward Wigford's location, not in a hurry to launch an attack.

Although his physical abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, the fact that his opponent was able to overwhelm Geralt in close combat clearly indicated that he was also physically strong and a master in this area. Moreover, with Princess Paveta right beside him, it was best to stay closer to ensure that nothing went wrong.

However, Wayne's plan to launch a sneak attack quickly fell through. Perhaps it was because Wigford was naturally cautious, but when Wayne's body was only about thirty meters away from him and he was still invisible, he was suddenly discovered by the man.

Without exchanging words, Wiggerts reached out and pushed Wayne, and a ring on his right hand suddenly flashed with magical light.

Under the male warlock's control, the light instantly solidified, shooting towards Wayne's location like lightning, accompanied by the sound of howling wind, shattering several wooden experimental tables along its path.

Wayne had no intention of testing the power of the opponent's magic with his body. Although the two were about thirty meters apart, he immediately activated his Blink ability, gripped the Startick Blade, and instantly Blinked behind Vigforts.

Just as he regained his footing, the electric blade in his hand slashed down fiercely.

With the sound of a blade tearing through the air, the electric blade, less than a meter long, transformed into a bolt of lightning in Wayne's hand, instantly slashing down towards Vigforts's back.

However, as a man with superb physical skills, although Wayne's teleportation ability was beyond his expectations, Vigforts still managed to react in time.

In the instant he turned around, he pulled out his metal staff, held it above his head, and clashed with Wayne's electric blade.

This was exactly what the Witcher wanted. Wayne couldn't help but smirk slightly, and he swung his hands even harder.

Clang!

With a deafening clang of metal clashing, sparks flew as Vigfortz let out a scream as his metal staff, made of an unknown material, snapped in two.

His body was also sent flying by the chain lightning and superhuman strength attached to Wayne's blade, like being hit by a charging bull. He was sent flying backward, knocking over several lab tables, rolling several times on the ground, and finally collapsing to the ground, his body crackling with electric arcs and smelling of burnt flesh, his fate unknown.

After landing a successful blow, before Wiggerts' body had even hit the ground, Wayne was about to rush forward and chop off the guy's head to eliminate any future trouble.

Suddenly he felt something grab his feet, making it extremely difficult to move, and a tremendous force was constantly squeezing his muscles.

Wayne looked down and, to his surprise, the two metal staffs that had crashed to the ground and been chopped in two had transformed into two metal snakes. Instantly, they coiled around his ankles like venomous snakes, their sharp ends like fangs, trying to pierce his metal leg guards and sink into his flesh.

If it weren't for his extremely sophisticated equipment, all crafted by master blacksmiths, he might have been caught by those two metal snakes, and his foot would have at least suffered a piercing wound.

The two metal snakes were incredibly powerful, and their grip was extraordinary. Like two pythons, they tightly coiled around his metal leg guards and kept contracting, as if trying to break his legs, without letting go.

With no other option, Wayne gripped his electric blade tightly and slashed fiercely at the two metal snakes coiled around his legs.

Clang! Clang! Several crisp sounds.

His legs only returned to normal after he cut them into three pieces and completely lost the ability to move.

This was thanks to the fact that the Startick Blade in his hand was an extremely excellent divine weapon, capable of cutting through steel with relative ease; otherwise, he would probably have been held up by this magical spell for a very long time.

However, perhaps because he possessed some treasure that could weaken the damage of spells, and his physical strength was extremely high, while he was freeing his legs from their restraints, Vigforts, who should have been severely injured by the chain lightning and his powerful strikes, actually stood up again.

His handsome face was scorched by the high temperature, his long brown hair had fallen out in large quantities, and his originally gorgeous clothes were stuck to his body as his skin melted, soaked with blood.

However, the man did not show any pain. He stared at Wayne not far away with bloodshot eyes. His bloodied face twitched slightly, then he revealed a chilling smile, clapped his hands in front of him, and muttered a short incantation.

A massive magic circle, at least twenty or thirty meters in diameter, instantly formed beneath Vigforts' feet, its range even enveloping the experimental table where Princess Pavita was located.

Seeing this, Wayne naturally wouldn't let the other party complete the spell. He quickly raised the adamantite crossbow in his left hand towards Wigfordz and fired a precious anti-magic bolt instantly.

With a sharp whooshing sound, the dark golden arrow flew more than thirty meters in an instant, directly blasting Vigforts' eyeball and exiting through his skull at the back of his body.

Under the influence of this force, his body staggered back seven or eight steps and fell backward onto an experimental table.

To Wayne's surprise, despite suffering such a severe injury, Vigforts did not die immediately, and the summoning magic beneath him did not stop either.

As time passed, a large amount of lava and high temperature continued to extend outward from the magic circle, clearly indicating that the opponent had summoned a powerful being from a fire elemental plane.

Seeing this, Wayne's gaze swept over Princess Pavita, who was also enveloped in the high-temperature magic circle. After struggling for a second, he did not choose to chase after Vigfortz, who had just been shot down by the magic-breaking crossbow bolt. Instead, he took a step forward and rushed to Princess Pavita's experimental table.

He reached out and tucked the still unconscious princess under his arm, then used his teleportation ability to instantly teleport to a corner of the hall dozens of meters away, escaping the magic circle's range.

No sooner had Wayne left than he heard the sound of the rooftop lobby floor cracking.

A roar that seemed to come from the abyss suddenly erupted, and in the instant the rooftop floor shattered, a terrifying, gigantic humanoid monster made of lava, flames, and burning red-hot boulders crawled out from the magic circle summoned by Vigfortz.

It stands about fifteen meters tall, with two slender arms and thick thighs. Its head is made up of strange lava rocks, revealing a huge mouth that constantly spews flames, barely resembling a human shape.

This is a fire elemental, a terrifying monster from the elemental plane, which has appeared relatively infrequently even in the history of the wizarding world.

The only thing Wayne remembers vividly is the Lion School of the Kingdom of Zerekan. During a mission to escort members of the royal family, they and hundreds of soldiers were wiped out by a powerful fire elemental. All the experts and elites were killed, leaving only a handful of survivors who are now barely clinging to life in the desert.

This monster is composed entirely of hard magma and rocks, and the temperature around its body can reach thousands of degrees. Before it loses its ability to move, it is simply not something that ordinary humans can handle.

However, this kind of monster is nothing to Wayne. Lord Wayne has no shortage of money. As long as he keeps his distance, he can throw hundreds of North Wind Bombs. Even if the opponent is really a ball of scorching fire, it can be frozen into an ice block. Let alone a ball of lava monster.

He reached out and held Princess Pavita in his arms, carefully positioning her belly up to prevent her from miscarrying due to strenuous activity, thus avoiding the loss of both mother and child.

At the same time, his gaze was also scanning behind the giant, trying to find Vigforts' figure from behind the monster.

However, in the short time it took to rescue the princess, the man who claimed to be the strongest wizard had already disappeared without a trace, whether he had gone into hiding or had escaped the castle through magic.

This discovery made Wayne sigh inwardly.

Wigford is a vicious viper. Now that I have severely injured him, things may be calm for a while, but I need to be careful in the future.

Although he himself was not afraid of this guy, his family and friends did not have that kind of power.
