C170: The hottest festival (3)

Chapter sponsored bymyo. Thank you for your support.

Originally, Rudger had no intention of using poison. The medicine he usually takes was beyond the standard of general medicine, and it was enough for him but that changed after coming to Theon.

A series of things that he couldnt handle with his usual medicine happened. He often experienced a lack of mana so Rudger thought that he needed better and stronger medicine.

He needed a secret measure just in case so he asked Belaruna to make him a much stronger medicine than the one he usually takes.

As an elf, she was stunned to hear Rudgers words, but she didnt refuse him as she was interested. In that way, the two people put their heads together and worked together to make a better medicine.

Even Belaruna who handles medicines everyday thought that it was dangerous but Rudger thought it couldnt be better.

-Ee, Ill throw this away for now. Its the first medicine, so there are many unstable parts. Well, since we have the correct combination, well be able to make it properly next time.

-Thank you.

-Ha, but its definitely dangerous. The boss is going to use the by-product of the poison from the magic plants, right?

-Yeah.

-The poison itself is dangerous, but the amount of mana in it is more than that. It makes the pill I originally made look like scraps.

Belaruna seriously warned Rudger.

How do I use it?

Well, thats.

The method of using the by-product was simple. A piece of paper filled with poison is cut into small pieces and burned to absorb the smoke.

However, the moment he absorbs it, an ordinary wizard will not be able to handle the magic and will explode. Even if his body was healthy, it was clear that he would die of poisoning.

If you cant release the rising mana right away, your body will be ruined. No, you have to release mana faster than its being replenished.

But Belaruna soon realized something and nodded.

Well, it doesnt really matter to the boss.

Thats right. For other wizards, this may be the most dangerous drug in the world but not for Rudger.

Thats right, boss has 100% emission, right?

* * *

Inhale the smoke and circulate it through the body. It looked like someone smoking a cigarette, but inside Rudgers body, mana was raging like a storm.

Whoa.

And exhale.

A thick white smoke spread and disappeared in the heat. All the mana contained in the poison cigarette was absorbed by his body, and only the poison was released outward and disappeared in the flames of Quasimodo. Nevertheless, the poison was so strong that the stench was left behind.

Is it venom?

Rudger, who had a pipe cigarette in his mouth, recalled the old days, feeling the venom that was about to invade his body.

I felt it so much when I was young that Im not impressed.

It was not voluntarily but his body had a strong immunity to any poison. Therefore, even the dangerous poison of the magic herbs, which Belaruna was worried about, did not cause any harm to Rudgers body.

Whoo!

It wasnt just white smoke that came out of Rudger. The mana that overflowed from his body circulated around him like a blue mist.

The endless mana was released outward repeatedly and at some point a blue light circled around Rudger.

Quasimodo felt something strange. Usually, mana disappears as if it melts in the air the moment it is released because the wizard lost control of mana.

However, the mana released by Rudger did not disappear and remained in the air. Rather, it was even circling around as if protecting Rudger.

A blue mist in a world burning red.

Although the amount of mana in Rudgers body wasnt high it was enough to use fifth-rank magic.

The mana held in the air began to move at Rudgers will. After a total of 23 magic discharges, a thick blue mist spreads through the air and it eventually coalesced and merged to form a spell.

Do you prefer power fights?

The magic unfolded with the declaration of war.

The fifth-rank water attribute magic [Wrath of the Seas] was unleashed and huge water cannons were fired at Quasimodo.

Quasimodo could not respond because it was fired at a speed that transcended cognition.

Bang!

Quasimodos right arm flew away in an instant. He looked down at the missing right arm and twisted his face.

[How dare!]

Flames rose from the cut section, and the missing right arm grew up in an instant. Quasimodo, who clenched his fists, rushed towards Rudger.

Does the broken body regenerate in an instant?

It was an attack that was applied using water magic, but it did not inflict much damage. On the contrary he only became angrier.

It is a simple spirit, but its power is comparable to that of the highest rank spirit of fire.

If so, 5th rank magic might not be enough because highest rank spirits have the power of a 6th rank wizard.

The seal that suppresses the power of the gods is working. Its been a long time, so Im going to use it as much as I want.

The magic that he already knew, but couldnt use due to lack of mana.

Rudger was going to take this opportunity to fully use what had been accumulated.

Go, DT-3000.

Rudger gave orders with his palm on Golems back. At the same time, Rudger strengthened Golems arms by using [Shape Transfiguration].

The golems hand, which specializes in crushing and destroying things, rose sharply and turned into a blade.

As it emitted steam for both shoulders, the golem rushed toward Quasimodo. Although it is a golem that is almost 4m in size, it looks like a child standing in front of an adult compared to Quasimodo.

But the fearless golem wielded the wrist blade that Rudger had transfigured and wounded Quasimodos body.

[Aaaaaah!]

Quasimodo screamed every time the blade cut through his body. It was because of the cold air flowing out of the blade due to the fourth-rank magic [Icicle Fang].

It was a cold attribute magic that Rudger used in advance.

[Human!!!]

Quasimodo shouted in anger. It didnt stop there, but it spewed out huge heat and set fire to the surrounding area.

The golem raised his arms to block the heat. Cold and heat collided, and white water vapor spurted out.

Quasimodo radiated more heat. The wounds on the body could not regenerate in an instant, but the flames burning over the body intensified like hand-made wildfires.

The cold air magic on the golems arms that prevented it gradually faded.

Hold on a little longer.

Rudger concentrated his mind to prepare for a greater magic. Golem, DT-3000 tried to faithfully follow the order, but the reality was that it couldnt.

The enchantment magic disappeared due to the gradually increasing heat, and the output of the golem gradually decreased. It wasnt that the golems body was collapsing but his energy source.

Rudger immediately noticed the abnormality.

The power of the mana stone has run out.

The blue light from the golem flashes as if it is about to go out. There is no problem with the golem itself, but the mana stone is almost discharged due to the excessive power used.

I dont have any spare mana stones.

If golems stops like this, the fight will be very difficult because the golems role was to protect him from Quasimodo.

I really didnt want to use this.

Rudger frowned and put his hand into the inner pocket of his clothes. What was taken out there was a test tube containing a bright red liquid. The moment he opened the lid of the test tube, the blood scent came out. Its not a liquid that looks like blood, but real blood.

Im sorry, sir.

He didnt know he would use it in a place like this, so Rudger apologized in his mind.

Usually, as soon as the force is exhausted, the mana stone is discharged and only a shell is left. However, mana stone is an object in which the magic liquid is solidified. Even if its out of use, its still possible to play a role as a bowl that can hold mana.

In urgent situations like now, it is also possible to use a method of urgently replenishing mana using reagents and the blood of a high-ranking wizard is the best reagent.

There was nothing like this to increase the output of a shrinking mana stone so Rudger immediately poured the blood over the golems mana stone.

The mana stone began to suck the blood and took on an ominous glow. The magic circuit that flowed over the golems brass surface was dyed red and was on the verge of exploding.

The golems eyes were red as red mana flowed around its body, which had entered the Overclock state.

The surface of the well-processed mana stone was brittle and cracked. The mana contained in blood could not be handled by the stone.

Im not sure about one output right now.

The golem moved and its speed was incomparable to the blunt movements from before.

Quasimodo stretched out his arms to force the golem back.

His eyes just turned red, and the cold attribute that threatens him has also disappeared but surprisingly, the golem was not pushed back. Rather, it was Quasimodo who overpowered.

With both hands together, DT-3000 was pushing Quasimodo back.

[Aaaah!]

Unbelievable, Quasimodo opened his mouth and spewed fire. A lava-like fire poured over the head of the DT-3000, which was struggling with both arms. Surprisingly, however, the DT-3000 endured the blaze.

Rather, the overflowing red mana climbed up on the golems arm and it was eroding Quasimodo.

[Scrap metal!]

Quasimodo raised the heat of fire. He didnt know what the red mana was, but it gave Quasimodo an instinctive displeasure and fear.

Quasimodo tilted his head back and hit the DT-3000s energy source, a red burning mana stone with a headbutt.

The cracked and precarious mana stone was broken because it could not withstand Quasimodo attack and the golems red eyes turned off. The exhausted DT-3000 collapsed.

[How dare you!]

Quasimodo trampled the golem over and over again with his thick legs.

After dealing with the golem he turned his eyes on Rudger. The temperature of the warehouse where the flames were burning dropped sharply. When the cold air hit, Quasimodos eyes headed toward the center of the cold air where Rudger was and glared at him.

[Human!]

The mana fog, which had been spread out, was all consumed to cast a single spell.

The amount of mana cant be compared to the 5th rank magic that he just used. Source code cant handle that amount of mana, so he had to cast the spell step by step.

Its over.

Along with the words, the mana condensed to the limit spread in a frenzy. Countless lines were drawn in the air and after nearly a hundred of them appeared a three-dimensional shape was formed in the air.

It was not long before the spell was completed.

The first ship in history that reached the icy continent in the far north and disappeared in the past. A magic created by Lexorer, an adventurer and wizard who reached the 6th rank, to praise its greatness and not to forget about it. A ship that is still advancing endlessly toward that faraway frozen land.

6th Rank Ice Magic [Heavenly Icebreaker]

Paaaang!!!

The sound of a gigantic ship horn echoed, and the ice ship rushed towards Quasimodo. The ship was so huge that even Quasimodo, who was over 10m tall, had to look up.

[Aaaaah!!]

Quasimodo let out a scream.

Standing on the deck of the ice ship, Rudger exhaled smoke from a pipe cigarette.

Lets see if you can stop this.

The ice ship collided with the fire giant.
