Chapter 81

With a furious laugh, Aidan jumped abruptly from his seat and threw a wave of death at Mavis. Like a wild beast, he went to hunt Zeref. He was absolutely not afraid, nothing could stop him! In his current state, he did not believe at all that there was something capable of withstanding his power! He only wanted to develop and comprehend deep knowledge of the magic of life and death - his own life or obstacles on the way did not bother him at all!

Mavis easily avoided the wave that would kill ordinary wizards, and with a sad expression rushed to intercept. She knew perfectly well that something else was being said in Aidan - it looked like his magic was spinning out of control and completely changing his behavior. It did not protect him, but rather pushed him to the very edge. In this situation, not being afraid of a collision with Zeref is tantamount to fearlessness in the face of imminent death. Even if the current Dark Mage is too weak, you just have to make him angry and chaos cannot be avoided!

As soon as Mavis got in his way again, Aidan stopped and growled furiously.

- Get out! - the guy croaked: - Having cognized the darkness of death, you naively consider yourself worthy ... So I will devour you earlier! But first, I'll play with your innocent body! First here, and then in the guild! When I have killed all these children, I will slowly savor my own despair mingled with filthy contempt. My pain will overshadow all feelings, and I will know the ruthless essence of life!

"Awful ..." Mavis let out a sad sigh. "It makes you evolve like this ... What kind of monster taught you this magic?"

Laughing furiously, Aidan grinned and folded his hands into the castle.

- I am the end of everything! Second seal of control of life: Equilibrium! - at the same moment, when the icy words escaped from his lips, the whole space around him trembled. Black letters swirled through the air, slowly enveloping the areas around Mavis. The girl immediately shuddered and shock was reflected in her eyes. The second time she encountered such a terrible spell, it directly related to the laws!

- He can use it ... - Mavis immediately gritted her teeth and put her hands forward. She understood very well that such a powerful spell could harm its user! This could not be allowed!

Aidan had almost finished everything and even got ready to finish, but suddenly his eyes dimmed a little, he began to realize the reality for a moment, but then he growled and threw away the useless thoughts! He wanted to damage her enough so that she could no longer resist. The balance will instantly turn her into an ordinary person! Even if it was just a projection, he was ready to show the girl all his strength! That's just ...

- Fairy Glitter! - suddenly a wave of searing power crashed into his chest, the almost completed spell was immediately interrupted. Aidan did not even have time to understand anything, as he blew a dozen trees and made a crater in the ground. Mavis followed her and began to examine his wounded body with concern.

Black veins began to pulsate even more strongly on Aidan's body, and then death magic more concentrated rose from the wizard's chest. Mavis frowned and stretched her arms out to the sides, quickly saying:

- Construction of light: cage! - six luminous pillars immediately surrounded Aidan, and then a barely perceptible barrier stretched between them. The guy jumped off the spot and crashed into an invisible wall, immediately flying off to the side! His head was bleeding, but healed in a matter of seconds. Ten meters around, from all sides, he was completely surrounded!

With a furious roar, Aidan tried to jump out, but immediately crashed into an invisible ceiling and was thrown into the ground. Rising and shaking off the dirt, unpleasant memories of recent years immediately surfaced in the clouded mind of the magician, and he uttered a roar full of hatred:

- Grraaaa! I'll kill you! - abruptly darting off the ground, he began to rage hundreds of blows on the indestructible barrier with fury. Mavis hovered on the sidelines and watched the wizard's efforts with sadness and concern. She was not at all happy with what she saw - she was not at all happy with his position. Every time he mercilessly wrung his own hands and snapped bones, his furious screams shook the air. He, like a demonic beast, crushed everything that caught his eye out of anger, even the earth suffered from his rampage. He tried to dig, but nothing came of it. Trapped again, filled with hate again!

Howling into the sky, Aidan growled and began to tear his hands apart. Mavis immediately flinched in shock.

- W-what is he doing ... - she could not believe what she saw! Especially when he ripped all the meat off the bone and covered it with a thick layer of ice, he did not allow the magic of life to heal himself and began to turn the ice-covered bones onto the barrier! His roar, filled with anger and pain, shook his soul.

Mavis had tears, she did not think that everything could lead to this. Unfortunately, she didn't even know about how Aidan had tempered his body in frenzy for two years. He ripped off his flesh and skin, and then tried to crush bones. When they finally broke, he restored them, and so over and over again, in a circle! Surprisingly, it worked ... The restored bones became stronger than the past ones and this process did not stop for a second ... No matter how crazy he was, he always tried to temper himself and comprehend even more the essence of magic!

An hour later, finally, the demonic roar in the deserted clearing began to subside. Aidan fell exhausted, the ice on his chest and arms immediately crumbled, a golden glow immediately appeared on the wounds and began to slowly heal. The black marks began to slowly dissipate, and the cold glow in his eyes faded. As soon as it all began, Mavis instantly lifted the barrier and quickly flew up to the wounded body.

Anxiously, she knelt down in front of him and began checking the condition. The girl's tears were flowing, and she did not know how to help him, but seeing how his body slowly healed, she exhaled with relief.

Aidan opened his eyes slightly. A dull scarlet glow turned to the only light, he could not see anything in front of him at all. But, instinctively, he realized who was leaning over him:

- M-mavis ... P-sorry ... - he remembered everything, every word he said, every movement. The ribs were slowly overgrown with new soft skin, only scars remained. The magic of life can remove them too, but not now ... his body instinctively healed, the muscles had already formed on his fingers, he no longer even felt pain. This happened too often, he just didn't care. Only the light falling on his face brought him a feeling of shame. He just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"It's okay ..." Mavis said with a small smile. She carefully brushed the dark hair from her bloody face.

Examining his condition, the girl sighed sadly again. Aidan was covered in blood from head to toe, and his own blood. It only made things worse ...

Mavis moved his head to her lap, smiling slightly as she stroked his forehead. She did not know how else she could help - the first time she encountered something similar. His body healed itself, and she simply could not leave ...
