C98: Banquet of Flames (3) Chapter sponsored by Madlove27. Thank you for your support. At Rene’s question, Rudger trembled for a moment but it was only for an instant and Rene didn’t see it. Rudger replied calmly. “What are you talking about? Did you see anything?” “What? Oh, no. Just. I suddenly felt that way.” “That’s enough nonsense. The treatment is over.” “Oh.” Rene’s injured leg immediately recovered thanks to the medicine. “Rene, leave, it’s dangerous here.” “What about you?” I will do what I have to do here as a teacher. You’re the only one left, so go ahead.” “.......” Rene was about to say something, but she stopped. Because she couldn’t ask Rudger all the questions she had in a dire situation like now. ‘Nevertheless, what is this feeling?’ She was clamoring in her head to ask Rudger the questions as soon as possible. ‘No, I can’t disturb Mr. Rudger now.’ Rene tried to shake off her lingering feelings of regret and bowed to Rudger. “Thank you for saving me.” Then she ran out in the direction pointed by Rudger. Rudger turned to the banquet hall after confirming that Rene had completely disappeared out of his sight. As the fire giant began to move, wizards and guards were being pushed helplessly. Still, the number of deaths did not increase due to ignorance as before, but it was be only a matter of time now. Rudger checked his physical condition. ‘This noisy banquet is going to end now.’ * * * Countless spells flew through the air targeting the supreme-level spirit, the main culprit for the current situation. Eventually, magic collides with the spirit of fire, explodes, and scatters powerful shock waves around it. “We got it?” As soon as a wizard’s murmur, which had been sweating due to excessive mana consumption, ended the fire giant appeared from the foggy smoke and he looked even more ferocious than before. “Get out of the way!” At that moment Theon’s Spirit Studies teacher stepped forward. Among them, Angela Anderson, who is in charge of fifth-grade classes, took the lead. “Bite it! Ventuswalpe!” Ventuswalpe, a supreme-level spirit of the wind, who looked like a giant wolf with a fluttering white mane jumped at the giant of fire at the order of the contractor and bit his neck. “Kuo!” The fire giant, who did not even move even after being attacked by magic, responded for the first time. The giant of fire, who was screaming in pain, clenched his right fist and tried to swing it toward the wolf hanging from his upper body. “You can’t do that.” It was Vierano Dentis, the fourth-grade Spirit Studies teacher and an elf who spoke. Behind his back was a tiny salamander made of pure water swimming around. Vierano pointed his hand at the giant of fire and the Spirit of Water moved. He rolled his little body in a circle, and soon shot out like a shell. “Boom!” It collided with the fist of the fire giant, which had just been aiming at Ventuswalpe. No one on the scene thought that the little lizard could stop the giant’s attack but the result of the crash was surprising. The fire giant’s right fist turned black after the fire was extinguished under his elbow. Compared to Ventuswalpe, the supreme-level spirit of the wind, it was shabby in size but its power was that of a supreme-level spirit and since the opponent was a fire spirit it had the advantage. “Well done!” The scene in everyone’s head was all the same but... “Kuah!” The giant of the fire suddenly screamed and curled up. It was like trying to protect something from Rudger’s magic. Rudger’s magic struck the fire giant in the back and even those watching were embarrassed by the sudden action of the giant. ‘What’s wrong? Why is it moving like that?’ Vierano recalled one thing he had overlooked. “......Medium? Did he aim for that?” “What? Mr. Vierano. Are you talking about the medium for spirits?” Vierano nodded at Angela’s question. After he became convinced, he began to see things he had not seen. Why has such a huge spirit suddenly appeared in the center of the banquet hall? Because it was summoned using the highest quality medium. Most of the spirits are summoned only with the contractor’s magic, so he forgot about the other case. “Now, Mr. Rudger is directly targeting the medium from which that spirit was summoned. So the spirit responded to it and crouched down.” “If it is a medium, is there a problem?” Angela answered Partonya’s question with a stiff face. “It’s a big problem. The spirit of fire is protecting it with his body so it would be impossible to even pierce it without a high amount of firepower.” She said because all the attacks that Rudger threw were blocked by the fire giant’s body and disappeared. No matter how much magic he used, he will not be able to penetrate the fire giant and eliminate the medium inside. Rudger also felt the same way. ‘I don’t have enough power but to be honest, it would be difficult to use other magic here.’ It had been a while since he had almost exhausted himself from consuming too much mana. If he consumes a large amount of magical power here, he will not be able to recover it even with medicine for a while. Besides, there were too many eyes to see around. If he uses his ‘real magic’ here, the aftermath will be so huge that it can’t be compared to when he showed the source code. ‘Then.’ It can be used with less magical power, and it was enough to use the magic that could most effectively overcome the current situation. Rudger immediately stopped his floating magic and descended to the ground. He stood in front of the crouching fire giant who raised his head and stared at Rudger. “The festival ends here.” Rudger said in a low voice that only the fire giant could hear and activated his magic which was a little slower since he didn’t use source code but as soon as it was completed the fire giant rattled, perhaps feeling something strange. The metal tray, the medium of summoning, that he hid under his bloated upper body broke in half with a sudden bang. “No matter how much you surround it, you can’t fully protect it.” His attack went through space and reached the target, it was the coordinate designation magic. The magic that Rudger used was not a big deal but the situation was different since he destroyed the summoning medium of the fire giant. The fire giant opened his eyes in disbelief but now that the medium of summoning disappeared, there was nothing he could do. The heat so strong that it melted everything around it gradually disappeared and the fire giant stared at Rudger as if to kill him, and his mouth opened wide. Was it going to breathe fire in as a last effort? When everyone thought that, what came out of the spirit’s mouth was completely unexpected. [Human. Hateful scum.] The will of the spirits can be said to be part of Mother Nature, so everyone was surprised that it could speak. [I’m going to burn them all!] There was no change in Rudger’s expression in the face of the incredible sight of the Spirit speaking the words of hatred. “Try it.” He even provoked the spirit. The Fire Giant was reverse-summoned without doing anything else. Countless sparks scattered in the air and fire giant disappeared as if it had melted away like a flame that burns without leaving ashes. “Oh, my God.” The people who were watching the scene couldn’t help but be astonished. The supreme spirit of fire that could not be defeated even by countless wizards and knights was subdued by Rudger Chelici alone.
