The sudden appearance of the fire giant turned the banquet hall into a crucible of chaos in an instant.
“Well, what the hell is that!”
“Argh! Run!”
People were startled and scattered around but ended up colliding with each other. Most of the people who gathered here were incompetent. As a result, they failed to maintain their reason in the sudden situation and panicked.
The giant opened his mouth when he saw them. When the mouth full of sharp fangs like that of an animal opened, what was seen inside was a bright red wiggling flame like the one on the bottom of hell.
The people watching the scene turned pale and they felt instinctively what the giant was going to do.
A flame that was so hot that their skin burned even if they were far away for it was spewed out from the center of the banquet hall but at that moment, the guards moved.
Since it is a banquet hall where important people gather, all the guards were knight in case something happened.
The guards in black suits pulled out the sword worn on their waist and swung it right away. Even if the number of guards is not large, considering that one knight is equal to several dozen or more mercenaries, the security of this banquet hall was not low.
The first sword wielded by the guard hit the flame. The aura contained in the sword cut through the flames and deflected it in another direction.
A long stream of fire turned and engulfed the ceiling of the banquet hall. The fire spread like concentric circles on the ceiling and burned up all the chandeliers hanging in the air.
The chandelier, unable to withstand the heat of the fire, melted and fell to the ground.
“Avoid it!”
“Run away!”
Screams resounded everywhere.
The panicked people bumped into each other and fell but others stepped on them and kept running. The banquet hall was instantly filled with chaos, reminiscent of a battlefield. It was then that Theon’s teachers acted.Điscover new chapters at novel35.com
“This way!”
“Slowly! Move calmly!”
Spirits appeared everywhere to block or remove debris falling from the sky. The Spirit of the Wind helped those who fell, and the Spirit of Water extinguished the flames on the ceiling.
Other wizards didn’t sit still either as magic erupted from everywhere and was shot at the fire giant but the fire giant blocked the magic with his body.
“We must defeat that monster!”
“Where the hell did it come from?!”
“Just buy some time! People’s evacuation comes first!”
Rudger stared at the figure of the fire giant. It’s his first time seeing it, but that energy definitely looked familiar. It was clear that it was the advanced-level spirit of fire he encountered at that time.
‘Advanced?” No. It’s stronger than that.’
At that time, he felt that it was at least an advanced-level spirit, but now that he sees it, its majesty is quite extraordinary. At this level, it seems close to a supreme-level spirit that has an extremely low probability to be born from the essence of nature.
‘The supreme level is the level directly below the elemental lords that are representing the attribute of the elements. To think she called a guy like that.’
On the continent, spirits are graded from the lowest to the highest. Among them, the advanced-level spirits belong to the 4th and 5th ranks compared to wizards, and the supreme-level spirits are close to the 6th rank. And on top of that was the elemental lord.
The giant of fire, who just broke into the banquet hall, is a supreme-level spirit, which can be said to be just below the elemental lords.
Since it was such a powerful existence, the attack magic used on the spot was not able to deal it a proper blow.
‘Esmeralda...Where is she?’
Rudger rolled his eyes. The most suspicious person was a girl named Joanna Lovett whom Selina had been talking about. However, she has not been seen since the fire giant appeared.
He needed to find her.
As soon as he thought so, the giant of fire, which had been under attack, moved again. The fire from the ceiling which had not been extinguished stretched down as if responding to the cry of the giant. It felt more like a thick liquid with high viscosity, rather than a fire.
Rene opened her closed eyes. She remembered walking around and serving people until a while ago, but she couldn’t remember anything clearly after that.
The last sight she had seen was something exploding in front of her.
Did she faint?
Raising her upper body by gripping her dizzy head, she finally realized what had happened at the banquet hall.
“What?”
The center of a banquet hall, the place where the party was supposed to be in full swing, was a complete mess and a fire giant was wreaking havoc.
‘A spirit? Is that a spirit?’
A giant of her great stature was fighting against the guards and magic teachers in her banquet hall, it was so powerful that she couldn’t guess its level.
‘It’s not the time for this. I have to run!’
As Rene tried to move her body, she felt a burning pain in her ankle and frowned.
‘My legs.’
She had a scar on her ankle, the wound wasn’t deep, but she couldn’t move.
‘I have to crawl and run!’
At that moment, the fire giant scattered flames around. It must have intended to get rid of all the flies that bothered him at once.
“Ah.”
Rene saw the scene and realized that she couldn’t avoid the fireballs that have the power to turn a person into ashes.
Rene closed his eyes tightly and waited for death but at that moment, she had a feeling that something had covered her body and pulled her strongly somewhere.
‘Huh? Doesn’t it hurt?’
Rene carefully opened her closed eyes and saw Rudger looking down at her.
“Rene.”
“Mr. Rudger.”
“Are you okay?”
Why is he here now? No, more than that... Did he save her? Rene was desperately rolling her head that didn’t work well, and realized what was going on.
Rudger saved her life.
“Sir...”
“Stay still.”
René struggled with her face dyed red, but Rudger remained motionless. He held Rene in his arms, withdrew to a safe place, and immediately checked her legs.
“The wound is not deep. I have a recovery pill, so wait.”
“.......”
Seeing Rudger immediately taking out the medicine bottle from his arms, Rene felt a strange feeling.
‘What is it?’
Obviously, Mr. Rudger and her had little contact. To be honest, she didn’t have much to do with him. But at this moment, Rudger saved her from a crisis and was even treating her. It occurred to her that she had seen this sight somewhere.
“Teacher.”
“What’s wrong?”
Rene didn’t know why she’s saying this, but she really wanted to ask.
