The Wizard of Fairy Tale World-Chapter 143: Friends of the Munchkins

Chapter 143: Friends of the Munchkins

The Eastern Witch barely had time to process the absurdity of a house falling from the sky before it crashed directly onto her head.

Boom!

The impact sent the dragon-formed witch plummeting to the ground in a cloud of dust.

“Ugh!”

Dazed and reeling, she barely lifted her head to understand what had happened when—

Thud!

The house landed squarely on her back.

Already gravely injured, the Eastern Witch felt her bones crack under the weight. A mouthful of blood spurted from her lips.

Aurora didn’t waste a second wondering why a house had fallen from the sky.

She seized the moment.

With explosive speed, she lunged forward, raising her sword high.

“N-No! Don’t—!”

The Eastern Witch screamed in terror.

Slash!

The dragon’s head was severed, and blood splattered across the lush green fields.

“Hooray!!”

The Munchkins erupted in cheers.

“The evil Eastern Witch is finally dead! We’re free! No more endless work under her rule!”

They clapped, they jumped for joy, they broke into song, celebrating their long-awaited liberation.

Soon, the small people surrounded Aurora, expressing their gratitude.

“Thank you, our hero!”

“You killed the wicked Eastern Witch and freed us all!”

Aurora finally had the chance to properly observe the strangely dressed people around her.

Their clothing was unlike anything she had seen in Western Continent kingdoms.

The men wore tall, pointed hats with bells attached, jingling with every step and movement.

The women wore white robes adorned with glowing decorations.

But the strangest thing was—

Despite having beards and wrinkles, indicating their old age, they were no taller than Aurora herself!

They were much shorter than the average person from Western kingdoms.

Aurora suspected they might be similar to the Seven Dwarfs she had encountered back in White Kingdom.

“These must be the Munchkins, the people enslaved by the Eastern Witch,” Aurora thought.

She had learned about Oz and its witches through the Magic Mirror before. She knew of the Eastern Witch’s atrocities.

“We can’t thank you enough, noble lady magician!” the Munchkins said.

“Magician?” Aurora frowned in confusion.

“Of course! You must be a great female magician! How else could you defeat the Eastern Witch? Even our friend, the kind Northern Witch, couldn’t do that!”

Aurora shook her head.

“No, no,” she corrected. “I... I do know some magic, but that’s not my specialty. I’ve never considered myself a magician.”

She pointed to the distant sky.

“My teacher—he is a real magician.”

“I killed the Eastern Witch purely with strength and skill. In my land, warriors who possess extraordinary strength and combat ability are called Super Warriors. I am one of them.”

The Munchkins’ eyes widened in disbelief.

“Wait, you’re saying... You killed a dragon using only physical strength?!”

“That’s impossible!”

They stared at the petite girl before them, struggling to comprehend the raw power contained within her small frame.

Had anyone told them this story, they would have never believed it.

But this was real—they had just witnessed it with their own eyes.

Aurora had beheaded the Eastern Witch!

“It seems that in Oz, or at least among these Munchkins, there’s no concept of Super Warriors like me,” Aurora mused.

“But they do understand magicians.”

“That’s good. It means the other witches and magic users in this land will underestimate me. They won’t believe a young girl like me could possibly slay a dragon through sheer force.”

That advantage might prove useful.

The Munchkins continued their celebration, dancing and singing around Aurora.

They sang for hours, never growing tired.

They even brought out their finest foods, setting a feast fit for a hero.

Aurora took the opportunity to eat her fill, replenishing the energy she had lost in battle.

But even as she ate, her expression remained tense.

Her mind was heavy with worry.

“Honorable lady magician—ah, no, I mean, honorable Super Warrior, our hero,” the Munchkins asked. “Why do you look so troubled? The most terrifying witch in Oz is dead—what’s left to fear?”

Aurora sighed.

“You can probably tell—I’m not from Oz. A powerful magic brought me here.

“My teacher, and another evil witch—known to the world as Black Witch Maleficent—were also transported to Oz along with me.

“But now… I don’t know where they are.”

Aurora clenched her fists.

“I need to find my teacher as soon as possible.

“At the same time, I fear that Black Witch Maleficent is hiding somewhere, recovering from her wounds… and plotting something horrible.”

Aurora knew all too well—Maleficent was not an ordinary human.

She was a dragon in human skin.

Her healing speed would be far greater than any normal person.

Before, Rhine had used the Trident of the Sea to control the ocean’s power and defeat Maleficent.

But on land, fighting Maleficent would be far more difficult.

“If she recovers, we’re all in danger.”

“I have to find my teacher, locate Maleficent, and kill her before she regains her strength.”

“That’s the only way to break the Curse on the Rose Kingdom once and for all.”

Aurora’s thoughts raced.

The Munchkins listened, growing increasingly alarmed.

“This Black Witch Maleficent... Is she stronger than the Eastern Witch?”

The Eastern Witch was the strongest magic user they knew.

It was said she was the strongest among all four witches in Oz!

Aurora nodded grimly.

“Absolutely.”

“Maleficent’s power is far beyond the Eastern Witch’s. She can curse entire kingdoms with a single spell.”

“She even taught the Eastern Witch how to transform into a dragon.”

The Munchkins turned pale.

“A witch that powerful is here in Oz?!”

“What do we do?! Who could possibly stop her?!”

Just moments ago, they had been celebrating their freedom—but now, fear gripped their hearts.

Aurora reassured them.

“Don’t be afraid. My teacher already seriously injured Maleficent before we arrived in Oz. Right now, she’s weakened.”

“And remember—I told you my teacher is here in Oz too.”

“He’s a powerful magician. If I can find him, we can hunt Maleficent down together!”

“So—do you know any way to find them?”

The Munchkins huddled together, discussing options.

Then, one of them spoke up.

“Don’t worry, hero! We’ve already sent our fastest runner north to fetch our friend—the Northern Witch.”

“She’s incredibly wise and a master of divination. She’ll help you locate your teacher and the Black Witch!”

Shortly after, an elderly woman arrived in the green fields of the Munchkins.

The Munchkins gathered around her excitedly.

She was the legendary Northern Witch.

They eagerly told her what had happened.

“A girl fought a dragon—and won!”

“The dragon tried to escape, but then a house fell from the sky and crushed it!”

“And then—this hero, Aurora, beheaded the dragon with a single strike!”

The Northern Witch stared at Aurora in surprise, then smiled kindly.

“Welcome, guest from afar—Aurora, the hero.”

“On behalf of all Munchkins, I thank you for liberating them.”

“But tell me—why did that house fall from the sky?”

Aurora frowned and looked at the silent house.

“I… don’t know.”

Just then—

The house’s door creaked open.

A young girl and a small dog stepped outside.

She was about Aurora’s age.

“OH MY GOODNESS!!”

The Munchkins gasped in shock.

“Someone was inside?!”

They swarmed the girl excitedly.

“Thank you for dropping the house on the Eastern Witch!”

“You and Aurora—together, you saved us!”

“What’s your name? You must be a magician, right?!”
