Chapter 493: Luen Knights (Second Update)
"Seal!"
Jerry, sensing the dire situation, summoned his formidable magic power and quickly activated the Sealing Magic. He overturned the rice cooker and placed it over the Cursed Demon, which was already kneeling on the ground, surrounded and beaten by Erusa and the others.
Originally, Jerry would use a thermos for Sealing Magic, or a Matryoshka Doll for multiple seals. However, after improving the Sealing Magic to enhance its effectiveness and allow it to seal more powerful enemies, he chose the larger rice cooker, which could accommodate more runes, as the sealing medium.
"No!!!"
Feeling its fate, the Cursed Demon tried to flee from the Sealing Magic emanating from the rice cooker above. However, the suction was so strong that the demon's body couldn't move an inch. Additionally, the demon was already severely injured from the attacks by the three mages and had little strength left.
Thus, the Cursed Demon, standing over three hundred meters tall, gradually shrank into a vortex and was sucked into the rice cooker in Jerry's hand.
Jerry closed the lid, set a final rune at the seal, and then, flapping his wings, he slowly descended.
"I've sealed it. Are you all okay?"
Jerry had been struggling to find a powerful enough creature to practice his Receiving Magic on. The Fantastic Beasts from the Ring World were decent, but most of their attacks were quite ordinary. Even the powerful Xxxxx-level Fantastic Beasts didn't offer much help for his current strength.
However, their various innate magics sometimes had their uses.
Theoretically, Receiving Magic could absorb animals, monsters, demons, and other non-human creatures, as long as the recipient met the necessary conditions.
Jerry's current physical strength, magic power, and mental fortitude should all meet the requirements for receiving the Cursed Demon. The only thing lacking was a deeper understanding of the Receiving Magic.
Once he filled that gap, he could absorb the Cursed Demon and transform into a massive Cursed Demon himself.
To be honest, the Cursed Demon's overall strength wasn't particularly formidable. In terms of physical power, Jerry could transform into a giant over two hundred meters tall and, with the addition of Force Magic and Combat Magic, could easily overpower the Cursed Demon.
In terms of magic, his Flame Magic was far superior to the Cursed Demon's Infernal Flame.
What he truly valued was the Cursed Demon's legendary ability to cast wide-area curses through its Curse Song.
If the Curse Song was as powerful as rumored, it was definitely worth looking forward to.
That's why he emerged just as the Cursed Demon was about to be severely injured, using the Sealing Magic to trap it in the rice cooker.
"Sealing it is enough!"
Hearing that the Cursed Demon had been sealed by Jerry, Erusa immediately dispelled her Black Feather Armor and plopped down on the ground.
Her magic power had been running low, and she had been relying on her strong willpower to keep fighting.
Gray, on the other hand, lay flat on the ground. Unlike Erusa, who primarily engaged in close combat to conserve magic power, his Ice Shaping Magic was extremely draining.
Natsu continued to spout flames energetically, seemingly unaffected by the exertion.
It couldn't be helped. As a Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, Natsu's power increased whenever he ingested flames that weren't his own. Additionally, the body of a Dragon Slayer Mage was constantly evolving towards that of a dragon, making it far superior to that of an ordinary Mage.
Thus, while Natsu's Magic burst and destructive power might not match Erusa's, his endurance and resistance to attacks were undoubtedly superior by several degrees.
"Finally, it’s over, but this is just too much!"
Seeing the Cursed Demon sealed in a box by Jerry, Lucy finally dared to emerge from under the train station with Happy.
However, when she saw the entire Oshibana City turned into ruins, she couldn't help but exclaim.
It wasn't Lucy's fault. When they first arrived in Oshibana City, it was a bustling and lively place. Now, not only had the people fled in terror, but the entire city had been completely destroyed in the battle.
Just then, a massive Magic array formed nearby, and several hundred Mages dressed in uniform green robes, wielding staff-like Magic devices, appeared.
"They're not enemies; they're the Luen Knights of the Council!"
Erusa immediately recognized the Mages and quickly stopped Natsu, who was about to charge into battle.
The Luen Knights were the Council's strongest armed force, composed entirely of Mages, tasked with handling various Magic incidents across the kingdom.
They were also one of the Council's tools for intimidating the major Mage guilds.
"Police always show up after the fact; this rule applies in every world, it seems."
Hearing Erusa's warning, Jerry couldn't help but comment.
They hadn't been seen while fighting the Cursed Demon, but now that the battle was over, they appeared right on time.
"Truly, only the Fairy Tail could pull off something as absurd as destroying an entire city."
At the front of the Luen Knights, a woman with black long hair and a white top led the Mages, quickly surrounding Erusa and the others.
"Councilor Ultear, we caused this situation because we were trying to eliminate the Cursed Demon released by the Blackthorn Forest Guild. There's no need for this!"
Erusa stood up and approached the black-haired woman to explain.
The black-haired woman chuckled.
"Of course, I received the notification and brought the Luen Knights here using the Council's emergency teleportation Magic array. It seems you've managed to reseal the demon!"
She then shifted her gaze to Jerry and the rice cooker in his hand.
"If you know that, then why?"
Erusa looked around at the Luen Knights still surrounding them and furrowed her brow.
The black-haired woman shook her head.
"Re-sealing the demon is a good thing, but the destruction of an entire city is also a fact. The specific outcome will be decided after you are brought to the Council for questioning and trial by all the Councilors."
"If the city is restored, would that change anything?"
At this, Jerry stepped forward, standing beside Erusa.
At that moment, Gray, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy seemed to realize something. The worry on their faces vanished, and they broke into wide smiles.
They had almost forgotten that Jerry, who was proficient in a little bit of everything, was an expert in the Lost Magic that could repair all buildings—Arc of Time!
Fairy Tail was no longer the same as before!
