What Is Redues Integrating And What Does He Need To Integrate build up development
What Rudy Has Integrated From The Last Fight
Rudy is integrating the missing pieces of the puzzle from his last fight with Orsted. Orsted asked him last time why he did not use incantation-less healing, as we the viewers know he couldn't.
First, he learned to use disturb magic now he is learning incantation-less healing magic from Sylphi. With these two skills, he may survive Orsted.
Why Rudeus Need To Develop/ Integrate The Warrior
Rudy must integrate the warrior development not fully integrated
One of Rudy's weaknesses last time was physical he saw his impalement before it happened with his demon eye and was so overwhelmed he could not react. I believe this is in part due to his physical limitations. It reminded me of the fight in Naruto between Rock Lee and Sasuke, yes Sasuke could see and predict Rock Lee's movements but his body could not react fast enough to respond.
Orsted pierced straight through Rudy with the same technique he used to take Ruijerd out, although it did not pierce Ruijerd's skin.
We have seen Rudy perform push-ups, squats, and sword and swings and his body has undergone a transformation but his style has not. After how easily he defeated Luke it is apparent to me that has potential value as a warrior although he does not see it himself as yet there may be a call for development. I think that he must become more physical to survive a fight with Orsted, what good is Incantation-less healing if you are damaged beyond repair?
Proof Redues Can Kill Orsted
Rudues was able to obliterate Babidagi with the attack he used to injure Orsted with the difference being he was at full strength. This is a clear sign to me that Rudeus could potentially kill Orsted, what would have happened if Rudues had launched that attack at Orsted with full power? I think Badigagi is used as a way to show the viewer the destructive power of Redeus's offensive magic and what could have happened.
Why And When Would Redues Fight Orsted Again?
The reason Rudy would willingly fight him would have to be substantial we have seen how terrified he was of Orsted from how he reacted to meeting Nanahoshi a second time so this is not a fight Rudy will take willingly. In the last fight, Rudy clung on for dear life even when bleeding out. To commit to fighting Orsted properly I think that he will have to be willing to lose his own life. Orsted stands as a growth measurement for Rudy in my opinion as a person and adventurer, he's a ceiling that Rudy's growth can be tested against. So I do not see the fight happening until Rudeus has grown enough and the story is closer to the end. What does he do after defeating the top?
Conclusion
To keep it simple I think the answer to whether or not our reincarnated protagonist can win is yes, but not yet.
How I See It going Down
Rudy Over Powers Orsted's Guard
I don't think Rudy could take him on right now but I think in the future with the right development he could.
Redeus clearly showed he has the magical capacity to hurt Orsted. In the last fight, Rudy used an insanely large fireball while half dead and Orsted countered with Wymergate that was fractured by Rudeus's output so I imagine a healthy Rudy being able to break his guard. This is a huge rematch flag it shows Rudy the potential to break what could be Orsted's strongest guard.
Last Time He Was Half Dead
A half-dead Rudy inflicting an injury on Orsted is a big deal.
Rudy Nearly Dies Several Times In The Fight
I don't think Rudy can evade a fighter as experienced as Orsted forever So I imagine he will need the incantation-less healing and a strong enough body to use it. I see Orsted nearly killing Redues again. Last time he had countermeasures for dealing with a magician, destroying Redues's lungs so he could not speak incantationans and the disturb magic. Orsted is not only powerful he adjusts tactics based on opponents so I imagine him adjusting to Redues's developments.
Anyway with those elements, I think that Rudeus has a very good chance of defeating Orsted just about, I don't know when they will fight and based on the amount of development required and that Orsted is basically like a final boss it will take a while. Even though I think with the right resolve Rudy could win I think he could die in the process. It would be very poetic considering he died the first time saving a schoolgirl we now know as Nanahoshi. First, he dies with nothing to lose and then with everything to save.
