Volume 4 Chapter 78

Water Spirit King

A lot of time has passed since the wedding reception began.

As the sun was going down and it was getting dark, the candles set up on each table were lit.

It was still dark, so Efreet, Sylph and Undine worked together to make countless softly glowing magic balls float in the hall.

This fantastic sight took the breath away from everyone present.

A little while later, I noticed a few people preparing to leave here and there.

Now that we’ve greeted all the guests, I think it’s time for us to go home too.

Since this venue is open until tomorrow, I heard that some people who love alcohol will be drinking all night.

Anyway, I’m glad the reception ended without any incident.

We had a lot of trouble though, but thanks to Undine, we were able to make it through them all.

I think it is because of Undine’s influence on the country that King Glendale promised to protect us, the Elnor family.

Before I leave, I need to express my thanks to Undine.

In addition, I should also say hello to Efreet, Sylph and Ossan for coming.

「Thank you all for coming today. Especially Undine, you helped me a lot. Thank you.」

The Star Spirit King and the three Spirit Kings were gathered at one table enjoying food and drinks.

「Hmm Haruto, are you leaving already? Why don’t you talk to us some more?」

「Tina and Rifa look tired, so I’m going home. I’m a little tired too.」

The Star Spirit King beckoned me to come back, but I could see the tiredness in Tina’s and Rifa’s eyes, so I decided to leave.

I also got tired of dealing with the nobles after such a long time.

「You need to come back to our mansion at the magic academy some time. I’ve given you the magic power for the manifestation, right? I can give you some more now if you want.」

「No, that’s not necessary, I’ve received more than enough magic. I’m sure we’ll all be able to get together again after you and the others have settled down.」

「Alright, I’ll give you a warm welcome then.」

After finishing the conversation I tried to chase after Tina and the others who had left the hall earlier.

「Oh, Haruto, I wanted to ask you something, is that okay?」

Undine spoke to me. .

She’s the most meritorious person of today.

So I’ll answer her question with all my knowledge.

「What is it?」

「Your magic didn’t go away in my water dungeon before. How did you do that? You said you would tell me eventually, but you never revealed it to me. I can’t help but to be curious.」

Oh, that time I burned the Steel Forest.

That’s right, I said I’d tell her some other time.

I thought it doesn’t need to be now, but Undine seemed to be very concerned about it, and she helped me today, so I answered her question.

「Your water dungeon is airtight, right? So if you confine fire, it will disappear. 」

「Yes, but the flame knight didn’t disappear. Doesn’t fire normally get extinguished when you pour water on it? 」

「Water is a component that makes fire stronger when electricity is passed through it.」

「What…?」

Undine looks puzzled.

No wonder.

In this world, there is no way that water electrolysis or anything like that is known.

The weakness of a flame knight is, of course, water magic.

So I took countermeasures.

I had a lightning spell built into the surface of the flame knight’s body, which is activated when it comes into contact with water.

When attacked by an enemy with water magic, it electrolyses the water and turns it into oxygen and hydrogen.

That oxygen and hydrogen becomes the fuel that keeps the flame knight burning.

By the way, not only Undine’s water dungeon, but most water magic methods are composed of pure water and normally cannot be electrolyzed.

That’s why I’ve created a technique where when the flame knight is attacked by water magic, my magic power jumps out of the flame knight, erodes the water in the water magic and converts it into another substance that can be electrolysed.

Of course it is a complex combination of magic with a magic power consumption of 10 or less.

The flame knight burns with considerable firepower, so it won’t disappear only by being sprayed with water.

Being trapped in a water dungeon would weaken them at first, but once my technique is activated and the surrounding water becomes something that can be electrolysed, it becomes a surrounding that is constantly fueling the flame knight.

I explained this to Undine as simply as possible.

「A flame that won’t go out even when you pour water on it directly? On the contrary, water increases its firepower……」

She shows me an expression of disbelief.

That’s understandable.

I also thought about what I would do if the flame knight went out of control.

However, I realized that if I created a vacuum space with the application of wind magic and put the flame knight in it, I could make it disappear immediately, so it was no problem.

A knight of fire, extinguished by wind that should strengthen the fire and strengthened by water that extinguishes it.

When I invented this, I was convinced that not many people could defeat it.

The only way to defeat the flame knight is to put it in a vacuum or pull out its core, which would cause serious burns.

In this world where the word “vacuum” is not well known, there should be few people who can create a vacuum space with magic.

Also, if you have the ability to regenerate, you can pull out the core, but it’s quite painful, so there should be few people who do this as well.

Even when succeeding in pulling out the core, I usually create multiple flame knights, so when the core of one is pulled out, other knights will cooperate and attack, so it is impossible to wipe them all out.

To begin with, the weakness of the flame knight appears to be water magic.

「I see, the water only makes Haruto’s magic stronger. So it doesn’t matter if I was force-summoned or not, since I’m a water spirit, I can’t win against Haruto no matter how hard I try.」

「Well I don’t think that is the case….」

Undine looks a bit depressed.

I have no intentions of fighting Undine anyways so I don’t care if I can win against her or not.

「Don’t worry, this means I was right to make a contract with you. I will continue to be your sword and shield….. You won’t cut my contract because I’m useless, will you?」

「No way I would do that!」

「Well, that’s very helpful. Let’s keep up the good work then.」

「Yes, let’s do that」

Undine’s expression brightened again.

After all she is really beautiful.

I can’t help but admire Undine’s smile.

Oops, I have to get back to my wives as soon as possible.

I bowed to the people who came to the venue and left the reception hall.
