Chapter 494: Confrontation (Third Update)
Chapter 494: Confrontation (Third Update)
"I heard that a Mage who can use Lost Magic has joined Fairy Tail. It seems you're the one. However, I should warn you, this isn't just half a port, but an entire city. Repairing it with Temporal Arc Magic won't be as easy as you think."
Ultear's black hair fell over her shoulders, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She had clearly anticipated that Jerry would know Temporal Arc Magic.
Indeed, the reason she was here today was to see for herself whether the rumors about a new Mage at Fairy Tail who could use Temporal Arc Magic were true.
After all, the strongest Magic she specialized in was Temporal Arc!
"I don't think it'll be a problem!"
Jerry didn't waste any words. He spread his two pairs of wings and flew up into the sky above Croatan.
Croatan was indeed larger and more prosperous than Harujion, but only relatively so.
In reality, a city of this size in the Marvel Universe would be no more than a county town. Compared to Sokovia, which he had previously restored, the difference was significant.
So, while using the Restoration Spell would consume some magic power, it wasn't too difficult.
Moreover, the buildings here were generally only two to three stories high, with the tallest being about five or six stories.
Sokovia, on the other hand, had modern skyscrapers and a plethora of complex modern items, making the restoration far more challenging.
Of course, he had also used the power of the Infinity Stones to restore Sokovia.
"Restore!"
With a wave of his hand, he cast the Restoration Spell. Under the influence of his vast magic power, the entire city of Croatan seemed to reverse time, completely returning to its original state within seconds.
"This isn't Temporal Arc Magic!"
Ultear, standing below, sensed the changes around her and her eyes widened.
As the only Mage who had mastered the Lost Magic Temporal Arc, she was extremely familiar with its power and capabilities.
It was precisely because of the power of Temporal Arc that she had become the leader of the Seven Fiends of Hell.
Temporal Arc Magic wasn't just for repairing buildings; it could affect any inanimate object, except living beings. It could create future crystal balls, launch powerful Magic attacks, and even reverse the flow of time for any Magic directed at her, rendering it completely ineffective. It was an extremely powerful form of Magic.
If one was strong enough, it could even reverse the flow of time for the entire world.
However, the Magic she sensed from Jerry, while it had some temporal properties and could repair buildings, was not the Temporal Arc she used.
"It seems to be just another form of Magic, not something to fear."
Ultear was well aware of the power of Temporal Arc. If Fairy Tail had recruited a Mage who could use Temporal Arc Magic, it could significantly impact her future plans.
This was why she had come to verify the situation herself.
Now, seeing that the opponent only had strong magic power and a Magic for repairing items and flying, she could relax and continue with the guild's plans.
"Very good, excellent. With this Mage who can use Temporal Arc Magic, your guild master won't have to worry, and neither will the Council. This is a good thing."
Seeing Jerry fall from the sky, Ultear clapped her hands and signaled the Lyon Knights to clear the path.
"We still need to head to Croatan to report the situation to the guild master. Since the problem is resolved, we'll be on our way!"
Erza, noticing this, was about to leave with Jerry and the others.
However, before they had taken two steps, they were stopped again by the council member, Ultear.
"You are free to leave, but the box that seals the cursed demon must be handed over to the council for safekeeping!"
She pointed at the rice cooker in Jerry's hand.
Jerry shook his head seriously.
"This is a family heirloom, the Wind Magic Pot, which has an extremely powerful Sealing Magic Array. I cannot hand it over to you."
"That's not up to you to decide. The demon currently sealed in your Wind Magic Pot was created by the strongest Black Mage Zeref. It is far too dangerous for the kingdom and must be placed under the council's protection. Of course, the council will provide you with financial compensation."
Ultear waved her hand, and the wands in the hands of the Lyon Knights lit up simultaneously.
"Out of the question! I can tell you're just looking for trouble. Watch me send you flying!"
Natsu, who had been listening to the woman who was about to arrest them and now wanted to confiscate Jerry's sealing device, immediately lost his temper and was ready to give her a lesson. Fortunately, Gray, Lucy, and Happy were more level-headed. They grabbed his scarf, pulled his arms, and even hugged his legs to barely hold him back.
"Natsu, don't be rash. She's a council member. Attacking her will result in a nationwide manhunt, and it will cause trouble for the guild master."
At this point, Erza was also angry. Using the little magic power she had regained, she summoned a Magic Sword.
"According to the rules, even the council has no right to take a mage's private property without permission!"
"That's under normal circumstances. However, this involves a demon created by Zeref, and it must be placed under the council's custody. Mr. Jerry, you wouldn't want your companions to get hurt or for your guild master to be put in a difficult position because of you, would you?"
Ultear's eyes flickered, and her gaze locked onto Jerry. She knew that the mages of Fairy Tail were stubborn and that if she pushed too hard, they might resist. This could escalate the situation, which would not align with her plans. So, she decided to focus on Jerry, who seemed more level-headed.
She understood human weaknesses, especially those of good people. They might sacrifice their own interests, but they would not want their friends and companions to suffer because of them.
Sure enough, Jerry's eyes wavered for a moment. He sighed, stepped forward to stop the enraged Erza, and handed over the magic device that sealed the demon.
"The Wind Magic Pot can be placed in your custody, but I must warn you: under no circumstances should you open the lid. If you do, the Sealing Magic Array will be broken, and the cursed demon will be released again."
"You can rest assured. We will store it in a very secure place and ensure it is never opened."
Ultear, satisfied, took the Wind Magic Pot, which was covered in Magic Runes, and immediately guaranteed this.
"That's good to hear!"
While Jerry's expression showed a bit of reluctance, he inwardly smiled to himself.
