Davian quickly began mental calculations.
The current level of the 'Song of Fire' skill is 17.
The magic power needed to reach level 20 is 12,000.
Sufficient.
But there's no time to divide and allocate mana points.
In any case, to strengthen the skill's power even a little more, the remaining points must be pushed into magic power.
Davian transferred all mana points to magic power.

Davian did not hesitate.
Everything depended on this one strike.
He inwardly shouted the skill name.
'Festival of Fire!'
=====
[Skill 'Festival of Fire Lv.8' activated]
Duration: 27 minutes
Fire elemental magic power increased by 135%
Creates self-moving flames
=====
Davian created a fireball the size of a pumpkin.
'27 minutes isn't necessary. Just 5 minutes. If I can restrain that guy's feet for just 5 minutes, I can escape.'
Whoosh!
Davian threw the fireball.
A single strike pushing in all the magic power he possessed.
Jedikers casually spread his magical energy once again and blocked the fireball.
Boom!
The fireball collided with Jedikers' magical energy and exploded greatly.
Flare!
The flames, which seemed about to scatter into nothing, suddenly began to move on their own.
Swish!
The flames, increasing in size, instantly engulfed Jedikers.
Flames completely surrounded Jedikers with tremendous heat.
Boom! Bang!
Trapped in the flames, Jedikers shot out magical energy in all directions.
Jedikers' powerful magical energy broke through the flames, but the flames only temporarily made way before filling the gaps again.
Peter, who had been watching Davian's magic with surprised eyes, opened his mouth.
"Oh, did he get it? That incredible monster."
Davian shouted.
"Not yet! Run away quickly!"
Peter and Rohana, who had barely recovered, looked at Davian.
Only then did the two realize Davian's intention.
Even in the midst of that, the flames surrounding Jedikers bulged and shrunk repeatedly.
"That's right! We have to run! He's not the kind of guy who would die from something like that!"
Peter lifted Bellus high.
"Rohana, can you run?"
"Yes. I have to run. If I don't want to die."
"Good! Let's go!"
It was then.
Crack!
"Ugh!"
Peter's back, who was about to run while holding Bellus, was completely bent backward.
Bellus, who had been held by Peter, fell to the ground as she was.
"Peter!"
Rohana, startled, approached Peter.
Snap!
Rohana's neck, who was trying to support Peter, was broken as it was.
Thud.
Rohana's two knees, who couldn't even scream, fell weakly to the ground.
"Kyaa!"
Bellus screamed, watching the scene.
"Where do you think you're going to run? Didn't I say that your life and death depend on me?"
The fiercely burning flames slowly walked forward.
A charred black arm protruded from outside the flames.
'Damn it.'
The moment Davian was about to throw himself to save even Bellus.
The other arm emerged from the flames.
"Ugh!"
Psychokinetic magical energy.
An invisible, immense force tightened Davian's body.
He tried his best to squeeze out all the power he had to escape somehow, but he couldn't move at all.
He couldn't even escape, and if it tightened any further, it felt like all his ribs would be crushed.
Boom!
Powerful magical energy burst out from Jedikers' entire body at the same time.
The dark black magical energy pushed Davian's flames, which had even used the 'Festival of Fire' skill, in all directions at once.
The flames, which had been struggling to resist the magical energy, dissipated into the air in vain before long.
Only grayish smoke swirled around Jedikers, who had withdrawn the magical energy.
Jedikers lowered his head, looked around his charred body, and then looked at Davian again.
"Tremendous skill, human."
"......"
"But with this level, you can't harm me. Now, just die."
Jedikers' hand, extended towards Davian, slowly tightened.
Along with that, the pressure on Davian's body also increased.
"Aaaagh!"
Davian's scream of pain echoed through the forest.
"Davian oppa!"
Bellus watched the scene.
But there was nothing she could do.
Because she knew very well that even if she summoned all the spirits she had contracted with, she couldn't even touch a hair on that demon's head.
A desperate situation.
There was no way but to wait for her next turn.
"Cough!"
Red blood gushed from Davian's mouth.
Crackle! Crunch!
The sound of bones breaking.
It felt like his ribs would soon be completely broken and pierce his insides.
At that time.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from somewhere.
A chillingly cold and sharp wind.
Even Jedikers looked around in surprise.
Pitter-patter.
Unexpectedly, ice rain began to pour down from the night sky.
And a chilling voice was heard.
"Don't let go of that hand? You demonic bastard."
Thwack! Thwack!
Several sharp ice spears appeared in the air right in front of Jedikers and pierced the arm that was extended towards Davian.
"Ugh!"
Thud.
Davian's body, which had been held by Jedikers' psychokinetic magic, fell to the ground.
Behind him, the ice spirit, Glasier, slowly walked out.
After examining Davian once, she turned her head towards where Bellus was.
"Hey."
Bellus was frozen as she was, too surprised.
Glasier called Bellus once again.
"Hey."
"Yes? Ah, yes!"
Bellus finally came to her senses.
"Do you have healing potions? Come here and feed Davian some."
"Ah......! Yes!"
Bellus hurriedly ran over.
In the meantime, Glasier started walking back towards Jedikers.
Jedikers, with a distorted expression, shouted.
"Who are you!"
"Me? A friend of the child you were just trying to crush and kill."
Jedikers grabbed and pulled out each of the ice spears that were stuck in his right arm.
Each time an ice spear was pulled out, black blood spurted out like a fountain.
"A spirit? Seeing you manifest in the human realm, you must be in a state where you can't even exert 10% of your original power. How impudent! Die!"
Jedikers stretched both arms straight forward.
Whoaaaa!
A black magical energy of ominous energy poured out and engulfed Glasier.
Glasier stood there without moving.
When the black magical energy had covered about half of her, a huge ice barrier suddenly appeared in the air.
Clang!
The magical energy that collided with the suddenly created ice barrier could no longer advance and spread in all directions.
"10%? Sorry, but I can exert much more than that. Thanks to my friend training very hard, more than you think."
The ice barrier that had blocked all the magical energy melted as it was and seemed to pour down as water, but it instantly turned into dozens of huge ice spears.
Whoosh!
The ice spears flew towards Jedikers at the same time.
Jedikers quickly threw his body and avoided the attack.
But Glasier's attack did not end easily.
Pure water was contained in the air, and all of this water became Glasier's weapon.
Glasier's attack did not necessarily have to start from her fingertips.
"Ugh!"
Thorn ice spikes suddenly sprang up as if waiting in the place where Jedikers threw his body.
The ice spikes wildly pierced Jedikers' calves and thighs.
Clang!
Strong magical energy was released from Jedikers' body at that moment, and the ice spikes were crushed as they were.
Jedikers was not just being hit continuously.
In the meantime, he stretched out his arm and sent out invisible magical energy, succeeding in grabbing Glasier's neck.
But.
Thwack! Thwack!
This time, ice spears pierced various parts of Jedikers' upper body.
"Ugh!"
Jedikers' psychokinetic magic, which had barely grasped Glasier's neck, was released as it was.
Thwack! Thwack!
In the midst of that, ice spears and ice spikes that were created from time to time pierced various parts of Jedikers' body.
Jedikers became like a hedgehog.
He laboriously raised his arm and drew figures in the air several times.
Ripple.
A distorted space appeared in front of Jedikers.
"See you next time. You guys. You will experience hell then!"
Jedikers, who spouted the obvious villainous lines, threw his body as it was and entered the distorted space.
"What! He ran away? ......He should have died after being pierced so many times. That demon is incredibly tough."
Glasier brushed her hands off as they were and turned around, approaching Davian.
"Davian. Are you okay?"
"Uh...... Glasier. Thank you."
"He ran away without dying even after having dozens more holes pierced in his body. He's a terrible guy. If I had known this would happen, I would have pierced his head from the beginning."
"It would have been the same even if you did. He's not the kind of guy who would die easily. And...... it's better this way."
"Better this way?"
"Because I'm going to kill him with my own hands. That demonic bastard."
Ting.

Glasier turned her head.
"Looks like those two are dead?"
Before they knew it, Bellus was neatly laying down the bodies of Peter and Rohana.
"Peter...... Rohana....... Sob sob."
Tears dripped down Bellus's cheeks.
The next day afternoon.
A small village west of the Batian Lake area.
"Is this the village you live in?"
"Yes. It's not a big village, but it's a good place where everyone gets along well."
As Bellus said, the village was not large.
It was about the size that fifty or so households would live in at most.
In harmony with the yellow trees of the Batian Lake area, the village itself was decorated in yellow here and there.
No tall buildings could be found.
Smoke was rising from the chimneys of small, similar-sized buildings.
As they walked along the road in the center of the village, the smell of warm food wafted from here and there.
"Bellus! You're back!"
A woman who appeared to be in her 40s peeked out her head through the open gate.
"Ah, yes. Hello, Madam."
"Did you find your grandfather?"
"That's......"
A man of a similar age who followed after tapped the woman's shoulder.
"If she had found him, would she have come alone like that? Oh my, you silly woman."
"Oh my, really. That's right. I said something unnecessary......"
The woman quickly changed the subject.
"What about the adventurers who went with you? Did you part ways?"
"That's......"
Bellus lowered her head deeply.
Tears welled up in her big eyes as if they would fall at any moment.
Seeing that sight, the man pushed the woman into the house.
"Well, after all, it's commonplace for adventurers to meet and part ways at any time. She came with a new party by her side...... Oh?"
The man came out of the house and approached Bellus and Davian.
