Gaming Sword Magician

Chapter 117: Banquet

He hastily looked towards the snowy mountain and watched in shock as half of it vanished into thin air. Although Whittaker's crystal icy eyes gazed at the dissipating mountain peak unwaveringly, he could see everything happening in his surroundings due to Devansha's vision. He was fully aware of who, how, and what caused the snowy mountain to be destroyed.

The snowy mountain was comparable to mountain Everest in length and size; However, half of it ceases to exist because of Elder Zachary's attack. Awestruck, the heart of the young snowy-haired boy beats thunderously as he thinks,

'This much power could only belong to an S-rank awakened!' 

What happened already was stunning enough but Whittaker was even more surprised by the power Elder Zachary just executed. Whittaker was having the taste of his own medicine. He had always been surprising others but now it was time for him to be surprised!

Elder Zachary was really at the peak of the B-rank. His potential has peaked as his class weapon was only a B-rank Cursive Spellbook. Although his spellbook was unique, it was still B-rank, hence he couldn't break the universal rule of class weapon.

The rank of an awakened class weapon didn't only determine the peak rank of spell they will be able to use in the future but also their peak potential.

For example, a person who awakens an F-ranked class weapon will never be able to reach E-rank. Similarly, Elder Zachary, who has awakened a B-rank weapon, was never able to reach an A-rank due to the limitation imposed on him by his class weapon. Moreover, he was never able to upgrade his class weapon rank either. It's because he needed the blood of a divine-ranked underworld being such as Abbadon to upgrade his class weapon, which he never did, hence his current plight. 

Although the rank of class weapons could be increased by feeding them divine ranked blood, a suitable type of blood was also required otherwise, the rank will decrease rather than increasing.

Elder Zachary's peak power level should be B-rank. However, he learned and dabbled in many arts to increase his damage output. He created magical technology modeled after humans and their organs that will help him control the death force. He grafted the unique magi-tech parts with his organs and limbs with the help of the rank-10 reality management formation, Nina to increase his lifespan and utilize the death force as his weapon. A detailed version of his glorious deeds is also stored in his cyber-protected computerized central command system. All of it was waiting for his inheritor to learn if Whittaker ever wishes to.

Whittaker stood still in amazement yet his lips curled into a pout. 'I am still too weak!' 

In merely three weeks, he had become powerful enough to fight D-ranked magical beasts yet he was still unhappy.

"Young boy, why the long face and how long are you gonna stand still like a statue? Come here already, Nina prepared a grand feast for you. Let's sit and drink together. I won't mind sharing some of my treasured wine with you!" Said the old man with a smile when he saw the awestruck descendant of Devansha, The Great. Elder Zachary was really pleased with himself.

"Wine? Will I be able to drink Elder's Celestial win?" Whittaker asked in glee. The tales of Elder Zachary's celestial wine was spread long and wide, even across mountains and rivers. Rumors about its capability echo daily in the courtyards of many experts and royal families but none is lucky enough to have a sip of it.

To say the least, Elder Zachary was more popular because of his celestial wine rather than his formation mastery.

"Haha, why not?" Elder Zachary replied with a carefree laugh but someone was not happy!

"Zachy, he is still a child so no wine for him. At most, he is only allowed to drink fruit juice." Nina chided her master while raising her lithe hand to use her magic, in that very moment, the magic circle expanded and released a blinding light. 

When it disappeared, Whittaker noticed that the ground has healed. The trees that have wrinkled into thin papers were vibrant, their cherry petal as lovely as ever. Furthermore, they appeared fresh, releasing a sweet-scented smell that permeates the surrounding.

By altering reality, Nina has healed all the damages in the surrounding caused by her old man. Plus, the invisible spirit boundary enclosing Whittaker also vanished.

Whittaker walked up to Nina and grabbed on to her floral dress. "Eh? Elder sister Nina, can I please have a sip? Pretty please?" 

At that moment, Whittaker utilized his ultimate ability, Puppy eyes and Nina's heart melted. "Only a sip." A sweet voice entered Whittaker's ears and he beamed a smile at her.

"Thanks!" He said to her as they walked up to Elder Zachary, hand in hand.

As they were walking towards him, the scenery in the surrounding started to change into something completely new.

Dining tables, sheets, marbled rocks, pots, fresh ingredients, silvery plates, soup cups, and wine glass materialized from thin air.

They floated in front of Whittaker's eyes. With a single snap of Elder Zachary's finger, the ingredients, and furniture started to move after.

Soon after, two peoples and one magical beast could be seen sitting at the dining table. Whereas one person started to cook excellent dishes for them, one by one.

The banquet started with the serving of Azure King Crab Deep Emerald Ocean Soup. A rank 5-star soup with a very heavy Umami Broth.

Whittaker could see and smell the thick umami azure fragrance emitting out of the 5-star soup and his mouth watered. Before he could even examine it or use his spoon to taste the broth, the smell of 5-star food had caused a disturbance in his soul space. The moment Wolfie smelled the food, he woke up and demanded a taste of it, asking his master to let him chow down on King's crab meat. 

"Umm, will it be okay to let my contracted beast join us on this feast?" He asked.

"No problemo!" The master of the palace replied in a friendly manner.

"Woof! Woof! (Thank you, papa)" Wolfie expressed his gratitude to Whittaker as he appeared in the physical world. Right after, the puppy big eyes turned to the piece of hard-shelled meat inside a luxurious bowl filled to the brim with 5-star soup bursting with an umami flavor.
