Chapter 495: Spatial Portal (First Update)
Chapter 495: Spatial Portal (First Update)
The woman named Urutyia had appeared, and her gaze immediately fixed on the magic rice cooker in Jerry's hand. How could Jerry not guess her intentions?
So, when he flew into the air to cast Reparo, he secretly switched the magic rice cooker.
The claim that the Wind Magic Rice Cooker was a precious family heirloom was just something he made up on the spot. He had prepared hundreds of them in the Ring World.
According to common sense, after the Council took this precious magic device that could seal demons back, they would certainly store it in a safe place to prevent the demon inside from being released again.
This way, they wouldn't discover the switch.
If something unexpected happened and someone wanted to open the magic rice cooker, it wouldn't matter. Before he handed it over, he had casually placed several spells on it.
Anyone who wanted to open the magic rice cooker would have to break these spells first.
The spells he cast weren't from this world but from other worlds and other systems. Even if the world's most skilled curse breakers tried, it wouldn't be easy to break them.
Even if a curse breaker was truly that skilled and managed to break the spells and open the magic rice cooker, it wouldn't matter.
Because he had left a small gift inside the magic rice cooker: a Dark Elf Space Compression Bomb, a purely technological product.
As soon as the lid of the magic rice cooker was opened, the Space Compression Bomb would immediately detonate, compressing and annihilating both the cooker and whoever opened it.
No matter how powerful your Magic, you couldn't detect a purely technological product.
In reality, this move was a precaution against the unscrupulous, not the honorable.
Because the Council would normally store the magic rice cooker safely after taking it back, they would never open it and release the demon. If someone did open it, Jerry would consider them a bad person.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Magician. The rest is our responsibility. You can go now, but please have President Makarov write a detailed report about the entire incident and submit it to the Council."
After receiving the magic rice cooker, Urutyia no longer blocked Erza and the others. Instead, she instructed the Lyon Knights to arrest the defeated magicians from the Black Iron Forest.
"I don't know why, but I feel so frustrated!"
Watching Urutyia and the others leave, Natsu kicked the ground hard, creating a large crack.
The others also looked displeased.
But Jerry smiled and waved his hand.
"No worries, no worries. Although it's a precious family heirloom, I've already mastered the method of making it. With time and research, I can recreate it."
"Jerry is such a kind and understanding person!"
Seeing Jerry lose a family heirloom but still gently comforting them, everyone's faces showed deep emotion.
"Let's go. We still need to head to Crob Town to report to the president."
Jerry, noticing the emotional expressions on everyone's faces, quickly reminded them.
He didn't want to waste any more time. Today had been quite fruitful, with a powerful cursed demon and a near S-rank Wind Magic Magician. He couldn't wait to get back and start his interrogation and research.
Thanks to Jerry's reminder, everyone snapped back to reality.
"Um, I have a question. How are we going to get there?"
At that moment, Lucy cautiously raised her hand.
Although the entire Eshibana City had been restored to its original state by Jerry's Reparo, including the trains at the station, there was no one around!
The people of Eshibana City had all fled due to the previous battle.
So, if they wanted to take a train, no one could drive it, and if they wanted to take a carriage, there was no one for that either.
Their only option was to continue using the magic four-wheeler they had temporarily borrowed from Onibus City.
However, Erza and Gray's magic power was depleted, and the little bit they had recovered was not enough to drive the magic four-wheeler. Natsu had enough magic power, but he suffered from motion sickness and couldn't drive either.
As for Lucy, she couldn't drive a magic four-wheeler at all. Relying on her would likely result in accidents before they even left the city.
"Jerry, can you drive the magic four-wheeler?"
Everyone's attention turned to Jerry.
Although Jerry had used a fair amount of magic, he seemed very relaxed and didn't appear to be lacking in magic power.
Jerry didn't directly answer Erza's question. Instead, he glanced around and, noticing that the Council mages were not nearby, drew a portal to Crob Town:
"You know, I have a bit of knowledge about Spatial Magic, so I think using my portal would be faster!"
"Portal?"
Erza and the others stared at the large ring of fire and the forest beyond it, their eyes widening.
"It really is Crob Town!!!"
With a mix of disbelief and curiosity, they stepped through the ring of fire and walked a few steps along the forest path, soon spotting the familiar Crob Town ahead.
Spatial Magic wasn't unknown in this world. Earlier, Councilor Urutyia and the Lyon Knights had arrived using a large teleportation magic array set up by the Council.
However, such teleportation magic arrays required Spatial Anchors to be set up in advance, along with corresponding inscriptions and specially manufactured magic devices.
The energy and financial costs involved were beyond the means of most people. Even the Magic Council couldn't afford to set up Spatial teleportation magic arrays in every town.
A few mages, with special Spatial Magic talents, could perform Spatial movements, but they could only carry one or two people at a time, and the distance was usually limited.
Like when Jerry had teleported to the top of the cursed demon, everyone found that acceptable.
But now, Jerry had opened a Spatial portal to another town, one that could accommodate a large group.
He did this without setting up any anchors, without complex rituals, and without the need for magic devices or the assistance of other mages. He simply drew it with a casual gesture.
This was truly beyond their understanding of magic.
"Jerry, I think you might have a misunderstanding about the word 'slightly,' don't you?"
Lucy, recalling Jerry's various "slight" knowledge, couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Slightly knowledgeable in Time Magic, he could restore an entire town. Slightly knowledgeable in Shadow Magic, he took down the second-in-command of the Black Iron Forest. Slightly knowledgeable in Wind Magic, he broke through a high-level magic barrier and destroyed Death God Elygor's storm cloak.
Slightly knowledgeable in Spatial Magic, he could emit an invisible blade to sever the third-in-command's fingers, teleport, and open a portal to anywhere.
Do you call this "slightly" knowledgeable?
Erza, Gray, Happy, and even the usually thick-skinned Natsu, all nodded in agreement at Lucy's whispered comment.
