Chapter 496: The Gift for the Guild Master (Second Update)
Chapter 496: The Gift for the Guild Master (Second Update)
At the same time, in Onibas City.
The Grand Captain of the Rune Knights, after completing the search and capture operation, reported to the long-haired, straight-black-haired Ultear:
"Milady Ultear, most of the mages from the Black Iron Forest have been found and apprehended, but Eligoyle is missing. It seems he managed to escape."
"Escaped? What about the Fairy Tail mages? Ask them."
Ultear raised an eyebrow.
"Ah, well, they suddenly disappeared at some point!"
The Grand Captain said with a helpless tone.
After failing to find Eligoyle, he immediately tried to get information from the Fairy Tail mages. After all, they were the ones who defeated Eligoyle. However, after a thorough search, he couldn't even find a trace of them.
"Never mind. Take the mages from the Black Iron Forest and activate the Spatial Magic Device. We'll return to the Council."
Ultear waved her hand dismissively. She had personally led this mission primarily to see the mage who used the same Magic as her. Eligoyle's escape was of no concern to her.
"So be it, Milady Ultear!"
After the Grand Captain left, Ultear held the Demon Wind Cooker in her hand and muttered to herself:
"Lord Zeref's creation, the Demon, will surely interest the Guild Master."
This precious magic device, capable of sealing a Cursed Demon, she would definitely not hand over to the Council. She would create a fake one to fool them. The real Demon Wind Cooker, she would find a time to present to her true leader, the head of the world's most powerful dark guild, the Heart of the Demon—Hades!
Evening fell over Onibas City.
"Erza, do you always bring so much luggage when you go on missions?"
Jerry looked at the dozens of suitcases piled high on a large cart and couldn't help but grimace.
They had found Makarov in Crovus Town, boasting about how adorable the mages of his guild were, and decided to return to the guild immediately. However, before returning, Erza wanted to go to Onibas City to retrieve her luggage, which she had left at the train station in a hurry while pursuing the mages from the Black Iron Forest.
At the time, Jerry had wondered why she didn't keep the luggage in the magic carriage. Now he understood.
"Is it a lot? But these are all the beautiful memories I've accumulated from my missions, so of course I need to bring them with me."
Erza said matter-of-factly.
"Fine!"
Jerry didn't continue the topic. He almost forgot that Erza wasn't exactly a normal person.
Drawing another portal, they all, along with the luggage, passed through it and returned to the Fairy Tail guild.
After returning to the guild, Makarov went to write a report on the incident, Gray and Lucy went home to rest, and Natsu challenged Erza to a one-on-one duel the next day.
Jerry also returned to his residence.
Late at night, in the Ring World.
"Mind Siphon, Astral Projection, Bone Drill, Soul Sucker."
Under Jerry's barrage of Dark Magic, the arrogant and self-important Eligoyle, who had been so confident earlier, now obediently taught Jerry all the magical knowledge he knew.
During the day when Erza and the others were battling the Cursed Demon, he secretly tossed Eligoyle into his Ring World.
Although Eligoyle's strength was far inferior to his, the few wind-based Magic spells Eligoyle had created had some merit, especially the Storm Cloak.
Eligoyle also had some expertise in Magic arrays, which was why he could set up advanced spells like the Demon Wind Barrier.
Moreover, as a Mage who was closest to S-rank, Eligoyle's foundational Magic knowledge should be quite solid, which would help him understand the Magic of this world.
While Makarov was proficient in various types of Magic and could explain Magic knowledge thoroughly, as the guild master, he wasn't always available.
Jerry couldn't always keep pestering him either.
So, he spent the entire night until the early hours of the morning, sealing Eligoyle into a thermos and retrieving the Demon Wind Cooker where the Cursed Demon had been sealed earlier.
Eligoyle's strength was negligible to him, but to the other creatures in the Ring World, it still posed a threat. Therefore, it was safer to seal Eligoyle in a thermos after using him.
He opened the Demon Wind Cooker and lifted the seal, causing the Cursed Demon, over 300 meters tall, to instantly appear in the Ring World.
"Where am I?"
The Cursed Demon, noticing the completely different environment, was momentarily stunned. Then, upon spotting Jerry, it immediately threw an angry punch.
This was the one who had crippled its most powerful Curse Song and sealed it again.
"I think you need a clear understanding of your strength!"
Jerry's body rapidly grew to over 200 meters, and he cast "Strength" and "Battle" Magic on himself. He easily caught the Cursed Demon's punch and then threw it to the ground with a shoulder toss.
Before it could spew demon flames, Jerry began pummeling it with a storm of blows, continuing until the demon's body was on the verge of collapse. Then, he started drawing a Binding Array on its forehead.
Based on his current understanding of Magic reception, he wasn't yet capable of receiving the Cursed Demon's Magic.
So, he decided to first bind the demon and then slice it for research. After all, with such a massive body, cutting off a few pieces wouldn't kill it.
Researching Magic always passed quickly, and before he knew it, a week had gone by.
During this week, he had been so engrossed in studying Eligoyle's wind-based Magic and dissecting the demon that he rarely visited the guild. He even missed Erza and Natsu's duel the next day.
However, Lucy told him that Erza, using the Emperor Flame Armor with extremely high fire resistance, had taken Natsu down in less than ten seconds.
"Oh right, Erza said she would teach me her Knight Transformation Magic today and introduce me to the store where she customizes her Magic armor. I almost forgot!"
In the Ring World, Jerry, who was observing the cursed demon's skin tissue under a high-powered microscope, suddenly remembered something and quickly left the Ring World. He then used a Phantom Shift to appear at the entrance of the Fairy Tail guild.
"Jerry, you're late!"
Seeing Jerry push open the door, Erza, who was sitting in the hall drinking with Lucy and others, pointed at the clock.
"Sorry, sorry, I've been researching Magic and lost track of time."
Jerry explained, a bit embarrassed.
