The Wizard of Fairy Tale World-Chapter 140: Unrivaled at Sea
Chapter 140: Unrivaled at Sea
Between the White Kingdom and the Western Asia Kingdom, the sea raged with howling winds, roaring thunder, and icy rain that lashed down mercilessly.
The world was shrouded in darkness, occasionally split open by the blinding flash of lightning.
Standing at the center of the storm, Rhine had already deduced what had happened inside the gourd.
He had used one of his Fate Substitutes to create a voodoo effigy, made with hair from the corpse of the Old Witch he had slain.
Since her vengeful spirit still lingered in the world, when the effigy was activated, it was her spirit that switched places with him, taking his place to suffer a fate of destruction.
Rhine paid no mind to the towering black dragon that was Maleficent or the Eastern Witch. These two formidable enemies were nothing more than background noise as he slowly walked toward Aurora.
From the moment the storm began, not a single drop of rain had fallen on the gravely injured girl.
"Aurora, you’ve done enough."
Silver hair framed a smile as warm as spring.
"Leave the rest to me."
Rhine knelt beside her, pure white light spilling from his hands as he healed her wounds, dispelling the curses that tormented her body.
"Rest here for now. Once I defeat Maleficent and the Eastern Witch, I’ll make them tell me everything about the Coven’s leader."
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" the Eastern Witch spat. "You seriously think you can defeat the legendary Maleficent?!"
Even she feared Maleficent.
Rhine and Aurora had once joined forces and still failed to defeat her—and Maleficent was leagues above her in strength!
But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed something was off.
Maleficent was too quiet.
The Eastern Witch turned her head—only to find the massive black dragon frozen in place, standing rigidly in the storm.
Her expression was dark and deadly serious.
It was a look the Eastern Witch had never seen on Maleficent before.
Maleficent had always been untouchable—cold, arrogant, elegant, and utterly insane.
"No way… Is she… afraid?"
A chill gripped the Eastern Witch’s heart as she nervously turned back.
She saw it.
The silver-haired boy rising to his feet, his face gentle and calm, smiling at them with an expression as serene as a placid lake.
Terror crawled up her spine.
That smile looked like the grin of Death itself.
The Queen, the Sea Hag, the sailors, and the soldiers all held their breath, watching the confrontation unfold.
"This storm… Did Lord Sage Rhine summon it?"
"Is that even possible? Can a human summon a storm like this?"
One sailor, shaken, cast his gaze toward the horizon.
The storm stretched beyond sight, a vast abyss of darkness, easily large enough to swallow the entire White Kingdom.
Rhine lifted his Scepter of the Ocean.
Forged from the wishes of the Chosen Ones and countless ordinary people from the Sea Kingdom and the Western Asia Kingdom, this legendary artifact could only reveal its full power at sea.
It could call forth storms and tsunamis powerful enough to wipe entire kingdoms off the map.
A few weeks ago, in the White Kingdom's palace.
Rhine and Aurora sat across from each other, strategizing.
Through the Magic Mirror, they monitored their enemies’ movements.
To avoid detection by the Eastern Witch or Magrito, Rhine didn’t spy on them directly. Instead, he observed Enderland’s soldiers, deciphering their orders to reconstruct his enemies’ plans.
"So, Teacher, you’re setting a trap for the Eastern Witch at sea because the Sea Hag can drag enemies into the water?" Aurora guessed. "To create the worst possible battlefield for them?"
"That’s part of it," Rhine admitted. He flipped his palm, and a blue scepter materialized in his hand.

"But more importantly…"
"At sea, I am at my strongest. Even a legendary sorceress like Maleficent cannot stand against me here."
The storm howled.
As Rhine raised his scepter, the winds spun into a frenzied vortex, rain lashing in violent torrents, encircling the two witches.
But amid the chaos, something went unnoticed.
A few droplets of green liquid—Maleficent’s blood—were caught in the wind, drifting toward Rhine.
This had been the only time Aurora had managed to wound Maleficent during their battle.
Rhine had purposely prevented the storm from washing it away.
A gut-wrenching sense of danger exploded in Maleficent’s mind.
Her dragon eyes narrowed sharply.
In the next instant—
The droplets of dragon’s blood ignited.
A sickly green flame erupted around them—burning even in the freezing rain.
In just a fraction of a second, they were completely incinerated.
"So, you caught onto my little trick?" Rhine sighed, shrugging. "Quick thinking, burning away your own blood."
"If you hadn’t, you’d already be dead."
His voice was colder than the storm itself.
Had Rhine managed to keep even a single drop of Maleficent’s blood, he could have used it to create a voodoo effigy, binding her life to his will.
"Sage of the Rose Kingdom… You’ve grown far more dangerous than I anticipated."
The Black Dragon tilted her head upward, eyeing the storm that threatened to devour the world.
"But so what?"
"Eleven years ago, I had nothing to fear from you. And now, nothing has changed!"
"Both you and that little princess will die here today!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Maleficent burst through the storm’s winds, soaring into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, she had ascended high above the clouds, into the heart of the storm.
She opened her massive jaws—
And began chanting a curse.
Rhine remained unshaken, spinning his Scepter of the Ocean with ease.
Lightning illuminated the heavens.
Countless silver-white bolts slithered through the sky, forming a vast web of destruction—
And then, in a blinding flash, they struck Maleficent.
"AAAAHHH!"
The Black Dragon’s agonized screams tore through the sky.
BOOM.
A delayed thunderclap shook the sea.
Crackling silver lightning surged through Maleficent’s massive body, sparking and hissing.
Even with the resilience of a dragon, she felt excruciating pain and numbing paralysis.
Her entire body seized up—
The curse she had been about to cast—
was shattered before it could leave her tongue.
