Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

After knocking Ruijerud unconscious, Orsted's eyes fell on Rudeus.

"The Apostle of the Human God..."

“Drink aa ...

Alice rushed forward with a roar.

She jumped out from behind Rudeus, drew out the strange-shaped sword and slashed directly at Orsted.

Orsted's face was expressionless.

"Watch out Ron, this is how you use the Water God Style."

Orsted raised his hand towards the sword swung by Alice, and with two fingers, he casually clamped the rapidly slashing sword, causing his entire body to stop in mid-air.

Then, Orsted's arm trembled slightly.

It was as if a wooden stick was stirred in a stream, creating a whirlpool like a flood. In this whirlpool of power, Alice's body spun around like a tornado, and then flew out without her control.

……amazing.

From my perspective, I can already tell them apart.

The Water God Flow used by Orsted at this time is the realm reached after the mystery of [Flow] has been mastered to the extreme. He almost completely controls the flow of power and can give others a taste of their own medicine.

In other words.

Alice was almost blown away by her own strength.

"Bam—"

Alice's body slammed into the rock wall, and she fell to the ground with a pile of rock fragments, and she didn't get up again.

It must be a fracture...

Even with the entanglement of Dou Qi, this level of impact is enough to break bones.

Since Alice has been through a lot of training, I don't think she will die, but she might suffer injuries like broken bones.

"Alice Boreas Greyrat, your swordsmanship has improved considerably. I've always thought you had talent... but it was still very rudimentary."

Orsted gave a brief evaluation.

The nonchalant attitude didn't seem like a fight at all.

But playing with children.

This is……

The margin of strength.

Ignoring Alice's wails, Orsted turned his gaze towards Rudeus.

Then, he walked in front of Rudeus as if leisurely strolling in the garden and threw a punch.

"Click——"

I could almost hear the crack of bones breaking.

Rudeus vomited blood with a pale face.

His lungs were destroyed.

"When dealing with a magician, the best attack is to destroy his lungs. Of course, if necessary, beheading is the first choice."

Travel: 18. Unexpected Battle

I watched the scene in front of me in silence.

I looked at Rudeus, who had been fatally wounded by Orsted's attack, and wondered whether I should plead for him.

But when I noticed that Qixing next to me looked thoughtful, I knew that even if I didn't do it, she would speak.

So, I chose to ignore it.

"When you die, tell the gods and men, 'The Dragon God Orsted will surely kill you.'"

Orsted glanced at Rudeus one last time.

Then he turned around and walked towards me and Qixing.

Then, the next moment.

A rock cannonball that spun red and hot shot out from in front of Rudeus, aiming directly at Orsted's back.

The speed of the rock cannonball was so fast that I could hardly see it.

If I were facing such an attack, I don't think I would be able to withstand it.

There is no point in preparing in advance.

But Orsted turned in an instant and threw a punch.

Directly smash the incoming rock shells.

"Well……"

Orsted looked at his fist, thinking.

"Was that a rock cannon just now? It's incredibly powerful. This kind of magic can actually injure me..."

Orsted's body was covered with Dragon Saint's fighting spirit.

It is a technique that is different from ordinary fighting spirit. It can form a protective layer like armor covering the surface of the body. It is a technique that only people with strong physical fitness can use.

I once wanted to learn, but found that I couldn't do it at all.

……

Orsted looked down at Rudeus and became interested.

"I should have shattered your lungs. Is that a chantless magecraft? Is this a power gained from the Human God? What other abilities did you gain?"

This could be considered a bad habit of Orsted.

He would always subconsciously observe the moves he saw for the first time, as he wanted to accumulate experience for the next reincarnation, which meant that he was not invincible.

Of course, this is also because Orsted itself has this kind of leeway.

“Huh…!”

When I thought so.

Rudeus used wind magic to force air into his lungs.

Then he started coughing violently.

Orsted placed his hand on his chin and watched Rudeus's pained expression with great interest.

"That's an interesting way to use it, but what was the point of that? Why not use healing magic to heal your lungs?"

Rudeus did not answer, but raised his palm to point at Orsted.

It looks like he wants to use some magic.

But Orsted shook his head.

"That's enough, [Disturb Magic]!"

Orsted easily disrupted Rudeus's magic that was about to take shape, and this happened no matter how many times Rudeus tried.

The moment he realized this, Rudeus used his other hand to release a magic similar to a shock wave.

"Bam—"

With a muffled sound.

Orsted and Rudeus were both repelled.

Having successfully distanced himself, Rudeus immediately began to condense new magic without hesitation.

Qixing was very surprised when he saw this scene.

"Is this true... This guy was able to defeat Orsted. It's incredible."

"……right."

It only pushed Orsted back two steps.

This is beyond imagination for Qixing and me.

After all, in the battles so far, Orsted, who could easily defeat even S-class monsters with just one punch, was actually defeated by a mere teenager.

Even if Orsted was not injured at all, it would be surprising enough.

at the same time.

Orsted changed his tactics.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and a beautiful little silver window decorated with ornate dragon patterns rose from his feet.

That's summoning magic.

The summoned [Front Dragon Gate] can absorb the magic power in the opponent's body. The total amount of magic power that can be accommodated varies depending on the size of the summoned [Front Dragon Gate].

For ordinary magicians, it is almost impossible to counter this trick.

Rudeus now...

Not at all.

"Open it, [Front Dragon Gate]."

As Orsted finished speaking, the window slowly opened.

The magic that Rudeus was about to condense into shape was instantly pulled away. At the same time, the window frame of the front gantry made a crisp sound and cracked, which meant that the capacity of the [Front gantry] had almost reached its limit.

Orsted was surprised.

"Such astonishing magical power! Can a [Front Dragon Gate] of this size not fully withstand it? It's practically on par with Laplace... As expected of an apostle of the Human God. But why haven't you healed your lungs yet? Are you trying to make me let my guard down?"

Orsted was surprised and asked.

However, no one answered his question.

Rudeus was on the verge of losing consciousness at this point, unable to even think properly about his next move as his own magic had been negated.

From the very beginning, Rudeus, whose lungs were destroyed, was doomed to fail.

Because he can't use healing magic without chanting.

Use wind magic to fill your lungs with air, use shock waves to create distance, and then concentrate your magic...

These tactics, which seemed to me to be ingenious, were actually just a last-ditch counterattack.

Just like a poisonous snake whose spine has been bitten off instinctively sinks its fangs into its opponent's body.

Deathly counterattack...

No matter how cruel you are, you cannot change the inevitable death.

And Orsted also realized this.

Looking at Rudeus who was gradually losing consciousness, Orsted said casually:

"Is it over? Besides magic, you don't know anything else?"

Rudeus spat out blood wordlessly.

After observing for a while, Orsted shook his head.

"Forget it, go to hell."

The moment the words fell.

He pierced Rudeus' body with his hand knife.

And effectively destroyed Rudeus' heart.

"How disappointing, that Renshen guy. He actually used a guy who couldn't even use fighting spirit as a pawn. What on earth was he planning..."

Orsted said this as he pulled back his blood-stained fist.

Then he threw Rudeus' body aside like trash.
