C240: Bloody reunion (2) “Teacher, do you have to do this?” Rudger looked at his teacher and asked anxiously. She was his teacher, who usually lived in boredom but now she was purely happy like a child who received a gift box. Rudger said in a deep voice. “It’s a mistake.” If he showed his magic, he thought she would just let it pass because he properly trained but the result was the opposite. Grander was delighted by Rudger’s achievements and wanted to see more. She was like a child who received candy but wanted to eat something sweeter. The scary thing was that children who covet candy can be stopped by adults, but Grander is an absolute person that no one can stop. Her stubbornness was like a natural disaster. “What are you talking about, student? Seeing something this interesting, I can’t stop now, can I?” “.......” “You’ll have to do your best. Show me everything you learned while I was asleep so that I can feel better.” It sounded like a joke, but she was serious. “If you are my disciple, shouldn’t you be able to give joy to this teacher who has lived for a long time? That would be fun for you, too.” “I’m not having much fun.” “Enjoy. It’s the teacher’s command.” Rudger had no choice but to sigh at her near-unstoppable remark. He knew that more persuasion was meaningless. ‘It’s still daylight, so I can’t extract the maximum efficiency of Aether Nocturnus.’ But he didn’t think it would be particularly advantageous even if it was night. On the contrary, his teacher would become more powerful during the night. Rudger pulled out his cane from the shadow. It was a luxurious gentleman’s cane with a crow carved on the handle. ‘Now that we’ve come this far, I can’t back down.’ He had to do his best unless he wanted to die. “Here we go.” * * * “Is this your first time here?” “What? Yes.” Merylda answered Alex’s question a little obnoxiously. However, even if she said so, she didn’t particularly dislike Alex’s interest in her and asking her questions. “You’re a teacher at Theon, that’s amazing. Isn’t that a place that’s usually hard for wizards to go to?” “Well, it wasn’t a big deal.” Merylda pretended to be coy, but her mouth was on the verge of ascension. She may think she didn’t make it obvious, but Alex, her opponent, and Cheryl, a third party, didn’t have the same opinion. ‘I thought you were a person who was hard to approach.’ Alex analyzed Merylda while keeping his smile on his face. Merylda had a cold-hearted image just by looking at her appearance, but she was unexpectedly soft on the inside. Contrary to the atmosphere that seemed like she met many men, the impression she gave wasn’t so. ‘Is she a person who only studied during her school days?’ Indeed. If she wanted to become a teacher at Theon, she had to study every day. It didn’t really matter to Alex anyway. When I got a note from Hans asking for help, he was like, “What’s the big deal?” Someone followed Rudger so he approached her pretending to be a coincidence, but when he talked to her, she was not a dangerous person. ‘I don’t think I have to bother with her....But just in case, I’ll have to fulfill my duties faithfully.’ Grande’s blood mana was overflowing over the sky, which was red as if the sunset appeared in broad daylight. A pure mist of blood was formed and part of it clumped together and turned into more than 1000 spears of blood. The fact that such a large amount of magic was created on the spot showed how high Grander’s standard was. ‘Teacher’s blood magic.’ The blood magic used by Grander is a magic that belongs to an unusual series when it comes to the classification of magic. However, blood magic was the most flawed magic among the unique series of magic. Mana must be mixed with the blood of the magic user, which is not feasible in practice. Blood magic is so strong that its power and destructive force are different from ordinary magic. However, the amount of blood required increased along with the power of the magic. If an ordinary human uses blood magic, he or she would die due to excessive bleeding. Although blood magic is a unique magic, it was for this reason that it was regarded as black magic. Blood magic is a devil’s magic that uses countless lives. ‘However, there are no such restrictions on teacher’s blood magic.’ Blood-handling vampires were not bound by that since even a drop of their blood is more effective than any magic reagent. Even more so considering that she was a pure blood vampire. Grander did something ridiculous and spread the vast mana mixed with her blood to obtain both power and quantity at once. Even the natural side effects that should have occurred in the process were suppressed by the power of an eight-rank wizard. ‘To think that she would use so much blood magic considering that it is much more powerful than normal magic.’ Grander did not have any restraint. Even if Rudger dies because he can’t block it properly it’s his fault. That was Grander’s way of teaching. Rudger immediately poured a magical potion into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. He began to handle the rapidly rising mana with unbelievable grasping power and discharged it outwards. Grander beckoned and red spears rained down from the sky as if it was revenge for Rudger’s wild magic a moment ago. Rudger immediately gave orders to Aether Nocturnus and upon receiving his master’s command, Aether Nocturnus reacted immediately. The black crow-like wings spread wide behind his back, wrapped around Rudger’s body, and rotated fiercely. The falling spears of blood bounced as they collided with the black whirlpool and Grander burst into laughter at the sight. “Hahaha! Deflecting the attack by distorting space through the shadow!” If you know the coordinates and can send magic there, but you also can, on the contrary, add a distortion point to the existing coordinates, causing the space itself to bend slightly. To do so, shadows, a medium of space movement, are needed, and a huge amount of mana is consumed, but Rudger made up for it with medicine. Even if he would be hit by all the spears, they wouldn’t be able to break through that defense. “However, in that case, your weakness is that you have to stay still.” The bloody spears that bounced off the shadow collapsed as if ice melted and the red magic immediately surrounded the black shadow protecting Rudger. “You can deflect all the falling spears but how will it defend against wide range attacks?” Grander reached out for the shadow and clasped her open hand. The bloody magic surrounding Rudger in the form of a ring turned into a giant beast’s mouth and swallowed the surrounding area at once. A huge flash of light exploded and tore the blood beast apart. No matter how much she controlled her strength, it wasn’t a technique that could be broken by ordinary magic so Grander felt her cold heart beating as she saw her disciple emerging. The instinct as an eighth-rank wizard and the instinct of a vampire were crying out. “Ha ha ha. As expected, you’re amazing! You used magic with no chant and now you’re reproducing a pure miracle that has been lost in ancient times and cannot be found anywhere!” Grander, who witnessed Rudger commonly called “real magic,” burst into a frenzy. Her red iris grew gradually and Grander’s whole eyes turned red as Rudger quietly cast his magic. “GEBURA.” The Sefirot tree, made of light, appeared behind Rudger’s back and at the same time, a huge pillar of fire rose from the ground and swallowed Grander. It wasn’t that Grander didn’t defend, but the magic barrier she opened was burned the moment it touched the fire. The power of Camael, the 5th Sefirot of the Tree of Sefirot, and also known as the Fire of God. If Michael’s power over fire is focused on purification the Camael’s Flames are literally focused on ‘destruction’ and only the flame of destruction could break Gander’s powerful magic. The pillar of fire engulfed Grander and spun fiercely, forming a vortex. The ultra-high-heat flame would not leave even ashes behind if it were a regular wizard but as Rudger stared at the fire pillar laughter was heard from it and at that moment large red arms popped out from the cracks in the scarlet flame.
