Chapter 265.

The wolf put a strong aura around his claw and blocked Uncle Bloody's sword.

Kang-!

"How fun! Let me join too!"

The wolf growled angrily at Uncle's teasing.

"I said I must know!"

"Taurus, shut up!"

The wolf kicked at Brown Mask who raised his arm and blocked it. Then he pulled out a sword.

"Capricorn! If you won't tell me, I'll force you to spit it out!"

When Brown Mask pointed his sword, the wolf became on guard against not only Uncle Bloody but also Brown Mask.

"Are you turning traitor!?"

"Are we even on the same side? Werent you just trying to take advantage of me!"

The wolf laughed at him. "Shut up! You idiot! Have we ever been on the same side?"

"Capricorn!"

"Didnt your teacher teach you!? That the Twelve Zodiacs is a place where you get stabbed in the back if you let your guard down!" yelled the wolf.

Brown Mask tightly clenched his fist.

"Then is it true that this kidnapping is not intended to prevent war but to provoke one?"

Brown Mask must have been genuinely angry because he emitted a martial aura. In response, the wolf began to emit mana from his whole body.

"Yes, you idiot! Such a fool! All right, I'll kill you too if you get in the way!" He kicked the ground hard and rushed towards Taurus.

Brown Mask got ready at the charge, but the wolf never reached him.

"Jeez, you're giving a magician in front of you too much time.

The chains that shot out from the magic circle in the air bound the wolf just before he reached Brown Mask. He gnashed his teeth at me at the unexpected attack.

"You!"

"Aigoo, your voice is so loud. Oh, didn't I say I was a magician?"

I dug my ears and looked indifferently at the wolf.

"Where do you keep going? Youre making me sad!" said Uncle Bloody as he swung a sword at the wolf's neck.

The wolf tried to block Uncle's sword with his claws, but because he was tied up by chains, he only barely managed to raise his arm and avoid a cut in the neck.

"Kuaaaah!"

He succeeded in wrapping his arm in a strong aura and blocking it. However, Uncle Bloody's sword cut off the wolf's left arm and blood spewed all over the place. He struggled in pain.

"What, what?! Why are you so strong!" I shouted in fluster.

With red eyes, the wolf broke my magic chain with his full strength. Then he rushed at me so quickly that neither Uncle Bloody nor I could react.

"Die!"

"Gasp!"

The wolf penetrated my abdomen with his remaining right arm.

"Denburg!"

Uncle Bloody shouted my name in surprise and the wolf shouted triumphantly.

"This guy definitely called you Uncle Bloody! Feel the pain of losing your family, too!"

I grabbed the wolf's arm with a shaky hand.

"Ahahaha! Even the Crows are nothing much when theyre careless! And you call me weak!"

To the wolf laughing cheerfully, I whispered hard and slowly, "Im. Just. Messing. With. You."

What?!

After being penetrated by the wolf, I turned into a tree and began to wind around his body.

"What, what?!

I appeared casually next to the bewildered wolf then sat on top of the rubble of a nearby building.

"I told you. You gave the magician too much time."

"You, you punk!"

The wolf struggled to escape from the tree that was clinging to him, but the more he struggled, the tighter the tree wrapped around him.

"It won't do any good to resist. I was so bored that I really put effort into this magic."

As it reproduced the magic of the extinct Druids, he wouldnt even be able to release the magic unless he was a pretty decent madosa. Well, if its William, he could probably release it without difficulty. Although hes like that, he was still the son of Old Man Arpen and a direct disciple.

"How, how dare you!"

The wolf stuck in the tree tried to yell something, but his mouth got buried into the tree as well. Finally, before his eyes were about to be buried too, I smiled and waved my hands lightly.

"Bye. The next time you wake up, you'll be in a prison in the empire, although I don't know where exactly."

He looked like he was going to kill me with his bloodshot eyes. However, unlike his desire, he could not get out of it and only one large tree replaced where he was.

"Haam~! Boring. I thought you'd put up more of a fight, so I set up about five more traps.

I didn't know he would get so careless from being emotional and end with the first trap. I was smacking my lips with regret, but Uncle Bloody, who suddenly approached me, slapped me on the back of the head.

"Ouch! Why are you hitting me!"

When I caressed the back of my head and complained, he put me in a headlock.

"I thought you actually got done in, you punk!"

Then he tried to whack my head again. At that time, when I disappeared like a wisp of smoke and reappeared in front of him, he looked at me in surprise.

"Ayy, if I was going to get done in from just that, then I wouldn't have been able to even leave home. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, its because I couldnt feel your presence when you were escaping from the headlock. I think it would be fun to fight you. What do you think?"

Uncle Bloody shook his sword with a smile unique to our hometown. It was in contrast to the last time I encountered him in Asterium when he was wary of me. As expected, since there was no one around who could get dragged in, the fighting instinct seemed to come out naturally like others in our family.

"I'm sorry, but Ill decline. If I fight with Uncle now, the Prime Minister Arthemiuss stomach probably won't be able to endure it."

In the place near where the kidnappers fought with Marsen, there were likely no houses left for anyone to live in. In addition, Uncle and Wolf were going around fighting to the point of getting all bloodied, so it was clear that there would be more than just one or two damaged houses and streets.

"Ahaha, that's true, isn't it? Phew! I need to get some rest.

Uncle Bloody sat on the rubble of the building where I was sitting, tired from fighting the wolf. I smirked and took out a recovery potion and stomach medicine out of my pocket space and tossed it to him.

"The green
