Chapter 19 Or Big Plans for a New World

Sigmund finished his shopping relatively quickly. He encountered no problems since he used the medallion: Ruler Jeanne D' Arc. There was nothing suspicious about a young girl buying clothes and underwear for her sister, right?

There were no problems at all with the other points.

He finished his business in just an hour, after which he went back to his place. Ciel was still chatting in the chat, along with Saeko , who supported the girl as best she could. It took him about an hour and a half to prepare, after which he entered the chat.

[The administrator has selected the function of traveling between worlds. Whose world are you planning to go to? Select from the list below.]

[Not really ]

[During your journey, time will stop moving in your world.]

Sigmund saw the bright light again, and at the same time felt weightlessness. He rose into the air again on pure instinct. Blinking , he saw a snowy forest landscape.

/ So where am I?

Sigmund tried to use the Garganta , as he thought he had been transported relatively close to Ultear. But the Garganta showed that he was at least several hundred kilometers away.

/ So when I move between worlds, I get thrown into a random place? I wonder … Where am I now? Somewhere between Fiore and Iceberg? Even from the Fiore is a tropical jungle, it can suddenly turn into a regular coniferous forest, and then into snow-capped mountains. It's hard for me to believe that there are many mountains over 4000 meters high for such zonality. But in any case, I need to know my approximate location. Now I need to find a city, after which with the Book of the End I can quickly find out at least what country I am in.

And just as Sigmund wanted to take to the skies in order to use Sonido for aerial reconnaissance, an idea came into his head.

/ Do I even have wings? I can use demon and succubus magic, so I'm at least on the level of a half-demon or humanoid demon. So I should have wings. The faster I get used to the new power, the easier it will be.

Zig tried to visualize the process of wings appearing. It was surprisingly simple. He immediately felt his ears start to lengthen, reminiscent of elven ears, horns started to grow on his head, a tail started to stick out from his tailbone, like Maria's, and wings started to appear from his shoulder blades.

- Mmm ... It's a pleasant feeling, as if I'm stretching my numb arms.

And looking back, Sigmund saw how energy wings of light yellow light were "growing" behind him. Their span reached some crazy values of 20 meters. The entire immediate area simply cracked due to the excess of mana .

()

- So I just "opened the valve"?

He tried to compress this mass of magic, which he did well, but another surprise awaited him.

- Does the incubus have angel wings? Seriously?... And although it's still better than wings from the ass.

()

Sigmund didn't care that he had angel wings, it was just an ordinary Atavism, and it could play into his hands. Although in this world, a monstrous battle form is the norm, so it's unlikely that anything will change.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Ultear , I'm already starting to look for you, so you can rest assured.

This news could not but please Ultear .

Five minutes to dead: Really ? Thanks!

Gender Equality Advocate: You work fast.

Sweet Slime: Did you get everything? Will you be okay?

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Yes, I took everything I needed. And yes, I'll be fine. There are very few people in this world who can hurt me, only the top ten can do anything to me, and there aren't any of them in this area. So don't worry.

Sigmund spent the next two hours learning to fly on his wings. Unlike the ones drawn in the anime, these wings were functional. Yes, they moved very freely, and they had something resembling steel hooks at the joint. It was somewhat reminiscent of an extra pair of arms. Plus, it was quite enjoyable to fly.

During this time, he managed to find the city, it was difficult, since the climate here was not very good, and therefore the population density left much to be desired, but he found the city. Flying up to the guard and the merchant unnoticed to use the Book of the End was a matter of technique. A little later, he was also able to penetrate the city library to find a map.

As Sieg suspected, he found himself in Iceberg, relatively close to the Bureau branch, where Ultear was most likely imprisoned .

However, there was something that bothered Sigmund , namely that it was the nearest branch. Was Ur really so trusting as not to check the nearest branch?

Sigmund quickly flew to the location of this bureau. He used flight, not Garganta because he could simply make a mistake with the search criteria, and besides, it is "Teleportation Magic", he could hit the alarm system.

And as Zig had guessed, this bureau was an ordinary one. Including it was purely on hand, since it dealt with absorption magic, such as "Machine Soul" and "Animal Soul", testing the boundaries of the permitted combination of Magic and absorption of various objects.

In other words, the Brain wasn't stupid, experimenting on the daughter of a potential holy mage, right under his nose.

The only good news that came out of all this searching was gravity magic (very little, about the same as Kagura used ), spatial storage magic, and the foundation of Soul-type Magic, like Satan's Soul. The first would help control his innate Magic if he had any, the second was just convenient, and the third would help improve the medallions.

And after all this preparation, Sigmund immediately went to the place of Ultear .

/ What the? Why is there such a high concentration of magic power in Garganta ? Is it an open world? If so, then I'll have to deal with that too ... It's not like I didn't have plans for Edolas and Elentir before , but now I'll have to really get busy with it. With all the magical nonsense that's happening in Earth Land, like Ultear reversing time for a minute, Dimaria stopping time , dragon slayers' time travel, the fucking Eclipse Gate that can open a gate to another world or timeline, space between time, or whatever that crap Acnalogia ate in that weird space was called, it'll be a miracle if this world doesn't collapse ... Elentir and Edolas are very close to that state ... But I'll deal with it after July 7th, 777. Dragon Slayers are of serious interest to me, and such a "phenomenon" can break my entire system.

Sigmund quickly found Ultear , he was literally standing one step away from exiting the Garganta , looking her over carefully from head to toe.

Her condition was indeed deplorable, she was dressed in a bright yellow suit, which stood out strongly against the background of the building and especially the street snow. Ultear lived literally in a holding cell. She was not joking when she said that everything here was nailed to the walls and floor. However, the most outrageous thing was that this cell had an excellent view from the outside, and the toilet did not close in any way.

And while Sigmund was looking at the camera, the lower door opened and a bowl of food was pulled out.

In the dog bowl.

- Enjoy.

Ultear's mood , which had been elevated due to the fact that she had made friends, immediately fell below the baseboard.

At that moment she almost burst into tears.

/ So you have chosen death. No creature will leave here alive.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: @Five minutes to dead, Ultear , I on place , I even you I see .

Hearing the chat notification, Ultear began to look around, but did not make a sound.

Five Minutes to Dead: Where you ? I don't see you.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: I'm in another space now, you can consider that I, as a Shadow Mage, can move in them. Do you feel my hand on your left shoulder?

For a moment, Ultear was frightened, but then quickly came to her senses.

Five minutes to dead: I feel it , but vaguely . I can't tell if your hand is big or small. It feels like your magic is enveloping my entire body.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: You could say that.

Zig took a small step to the side, so as not to show the whole deplorable situation and not to embarrass Ultear , and turned on the broadcast. From the side, the picture looked like a normal camera. Ultear quickly realized where Zigmund was, after which she was happy. After all, this means that he came to save her!

Ultear started to cry again, but Sigmund managed to turn off the broadcast. As expected, he didn't get OD for it.

Ultear didn't care, she rushed towards Zig with hugs, but... but she passed through him and fell.

- Ow!

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: I'm in a slightly different place right now. Just wait a little longer, I'll sabotage and take care of the bad guys, and then I'll help you, okay?

Ultear rose to her feet, then looked again in the direction where Sigmund should be.

Five minutes to dead: Okay , I I'll wait ... Just don't stay too long, okay?

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE !: I won't. I'll be done in an hour. And please don't eat the food they brought you, I suspect you've been drugged and hormonal. I've brought enough food for a few days.

Five minutes to dead: Okay , good luck you .

After that, Sigmund immediately went to study this complex. It was a large building where many people worked, so there had to be a library here. At the very least, there should be an administrative archive, where all the reports on the experiments, repair work, the usual calculation of how much and what materials are in the warehouse, the building plan, drawings of the installation for enhancing Magic, etc. are located.

And one specific person knows all this.

Brain.

It wasn't difficult to find him, Garganta was there to help, and besides, he was alone in his apartment.

And as soon as Zig entered them, black magic flew at him.

- Come out, I know you're here.

/ Garganta's main weakness is also adapted. I hope Kido is also adapted for magic.

Sigmund calmly exited his Garganta , as the Brain posed no danger to him.

- I didn't expect a lady to come to my room like that. Tell me why you came.

The Brain was a powerful mage, a powerful S-rank mage, so this tone was justified. However, Sigmund had no intention of conversing with him.

Bakudō #99, Part 1. Kin

Black ropes appeared around the Brain, which tied him up securely and pinned him to the ground. The Brain kicked, used magic, but nothing worked. This means that the Kido were adapted to magic.

- I don't think I have the right to deal with you ... But I know someone who does. Sit here for now until they come for you.

- Now let me go! Do you even understand that such an attack on the head of Bureau of Magical Development is a serious crime! It is literally a declaration of war on the entire magical council!

Unable to win with brute force, he turned to intimidation. Brain knew that he was no saint, he had many enemies whom he had crossed. This could mean that the girl in front of him was simply an executor or a murderer! This does not mean that she knows about his crimes, especially since he reliably hid all his deeds deep underground!

- I don't care about your Magic Council, and neither do you.

With that, Zig re-entered the Garganta . He recognized the building's plans, so he headed straight for the main communications center. He only needed to cut a few cables and burn out a few microcircuits, break a few fuses and relays, his magic would do it easily. Given the remoteness and autonomy of this Bureau, along with the harsh natural conditions that disrupted the signal, the magical council would arrive in a week at most.

For the next 20 minutes, Sigmund calmly took various folders, reports on the work carried out, drawings and other useful stuff that could be used as incriminating evidence.

And only after that did he follow Ultear , who was nervously fiddling with her fingers, waiting for her savior.

- Everything is ready, Ultear .

Ultear looked in the direction of the voice, and then saw a dazzling blonde with a braided hairdo in almost shining white armor.

- Wow ! You are so beautiful!

And immediately after that, Ultear rushed to hug Sieg again. She buried her face in his chest with a satisfied expression. It was obvious that she was just looking for comfort and support now, and therefore Sieg did not push her away, despite the strange sensations of such large breasts.

- Well, not exactly. The thing is, I'm a man, my current appearance is just a functional disguise.

- But I don't feel any Magic from you.

Ultear immediately turned her head and looked into the blue eyes of "White Jeanne".

- It's a functional disguise. It reflects any external magic. That's why I use it. Now, here's a change of clothes. I'm leaving the room, you change, and then we'll leave.

Sigmund took out a change of clothes and underwear from his spatial pocket. However, unexpectedly for Sigmund, Ultear with some Magic movement of her hand took off her jumpsuit. Sigmund could only close his eyes, sigh tiredly and leave the room.

/ Ice Creation Mages suffer from uncontrollable exhibitionism ... And I hoped it was just fanservice .

Five minutes later, Ultear was dressed and ready to leave. She and Sieg began to move at a measured pace closer to the side walls, but sometimes they encountered guards.

- Intruder! An intruder has broken into the perimeter!

The guard hit the siren, but... It didn't work, Sigmund had prudently destroyed all available types of sirens.

Hado #4. Byakurai .

Sigmund also shot the legs of everyone he met. Ultear did not show any negative reaction, in fact, she herself wanted to cripple some individuals, but she was too weak for that. Despite having a Magic reserve between A-rank and S-rank, she lacked the throughput. This was the main reason for her illness.

- Why are you doing this? Well, you shoot specifically at the legs?

- So that they don't run away. It's easier to put them all behind bars at once.

- To prison, huh?

Even though Zig was acting within the law, it wasn't particularly pleasing. She wanted revenge on her offenders!

Sigmund knew this, but he did not raise cruelty in children. And yes, his current actions were not cruelty, local mages inflicted even more injuries when detaining dark mages. The same Erza or Natsu in canon inflicted very, very serious wounds.

After a while, the duo reached the side wall, and knocked it down. Sigmund opened his wings and hugged Ultear from behind, holding her tightly to his chest. After that, they flew up, and then Sigmund cast a large-scale barrier Bakudo around the entire Bureau. He would break the barrier himself when he arrived later.

- So, Ultear . Do you know what city your mother lives in?

- She doesn't live in the city, but near a small village a little south of the northwestern mountain range.

- I see ... It 's quite far from here. It will take about a day of continuous flight. We are now on the southern border of Seven and Iceberg. This is taking into account that I will have to fly around the entire Southern Ridge. Let's fly further first, and then set up camp?

- Let's.

Ultear didn't want to stay in this place at all. She also trusted Sieg. He kept his word, saving Ultear herself .

And slowly rising into the evening sky, Ultear watched with admiration as the scarlet sun repainted the clouds, and the snow sparkled like a New Year's garland on the mighty trees.

It was a mesmerizing picture that absorbed Ultear completely for several hours.

Eventually, Ultear quickly grew tired and hungry. Sigmund was also a little sleepy from the long day. After Sigmund chose a suitable place to rest, he quickly set up about a dozen Bakudo , raised the temperature of their small shelter to a comfortable level, and then deactivated the medallion.

Despite the fact that Ultear was an Ice Creation mage, and they harden themselves in snowdrifts while being almost naked, the low temperature was comfortable for them, but they could still get sick. Besides, why not? Sieg himself is not susceptible to illness than , he was a humanoid demon, but he was still much more comfortable at room temperature.

Ultear can see his real appearance , she has access to the chat history from the first day.

Sigmund noticed that Ultear fell asleep almost immediately after she laid her head on the ground. This did not surprise him much , but after a while she began to move, saying "mama", "Ur" and "save".

It was obvious that she was having a nightmare, which was normal considering her situation. Zigu felt sorry for her, so he came closer to her and hugged her. Ultear hugged him with her arms and legs, and calmed down after laying her head on his chest.

In the morning, Sieg prepared breakfast, it was not very complicated, just porridge, bread, pate and a couple of buns. Spatial magic immediately became Siegmund's favorite type. It was the most convenient. However, after a good breakfast, the duo flew off to look for Ur.

They found that village only in the evening. The thing is that from the northwestern mountain range there are many small rivers, which contribute to the emergence of small villages. In fact, it is difficult to find a village that is more than 100 years old. They either turn into a city, or into a production facility, which will change its location when work becomes impossible (the ore ran out or something else), or it is destroyed by dark guilds. Dark guilds can even destroy a city, let alone a village.

And the picture that opened up for Sigmund was beautiful. On the outskirts of the village, near a large log house, a white-haired boy in shorts was constantly practicing some movements, while next to him stood a stately, beautiful woman with a gorgeous fig and in a bathing suit.

()

However, she quickly discovered Zig because of his magic, and therefore began to look in his direction, waiting for his actions. She felt, her intuition itself screamed at the top of its lungs, that he was strong, she did not know how strong, but she knew that she would not be able to defeat him quickly, and therefore, if anything happened, her student would get caught in the crossfire.

Sigmund began to smoothly descend, still holding Ultear in his arms . The girl herself was happy to see her mother, and therefore immediately ran to hug her as soon as she saw her. Ur's eyes were wide open in shock. She simply did not understand what was happening now.

- Teacher, who are they?

Little Leon also noticed the duo that had flown in, but he was more interested in the frozen Ur's reaction. And that was what brought the sorceress out of her deep shock. She looked at her daughter hugging her again, she was sure that it was her, since she recognized Ultear's magic , despite the fact that she had become stronger. Her mother's heart itself told her that it was her daughter.

And at that moment she hugged her daughter, after which she burst into tears.

- Ultear , you're alive!

Sigmund knew that it might take quite a while for mother and daughter to be reunited, and he didn't want anyone to interfere with them.

- Boy, what's your name?

- Leon Bastille. And who are you?

- You can call me Jeanette . The girl with me is called Ultear , she is Ur's daughter. The thing is, she got into trouble, and I decided to help her, since I could afford it. So let's step aside and not bother them.

After that, Zig took Leon by the hand and led him towards the log house. They sat on one of the benches and then watched the mother-daughter duo for the next hour.

Leon couldn't hear them because of the distance, and Sigmund treated him to various snacks and told him various stories. These were mostly legends about various heroes with a more realistic coloring.

Over the next three hours, Ur thanked Zig by inviting him to dinner. Zig knew she wanted to talk to him, so he did not refuse dinner. It was only after everyone had eaten and the children had gone to bed that only Zig and Ur were left in the living room, Ur sitting in a chair and Zig opposite her on the couch.

- I would like to thank you again for saving my daughter. It is difficult for me to express in words how important she is to me. If there is any matter in which you need my help, then contact me. I will try to help you in any way I can ... Within reasonable limits.

Although Ur was grateful to Sieg, she was still wary of him. She did not know where Ultear had been all this time, as she knew from her daughter's reaction that something bad had happened to her. Ur did not want to traumatize her daughter any further.

And Ur believes that the person sitting in front of her is a sorceress of the level of a Saint Magician.

And what's even scarier is the unknown sorceress.

Any mage who has reached this point of power will be on everyone's lips, especially dark mages. But " Jeanette " was for Ur unknown.

Sigmund also understood Ur's fears. He would have been disappointed if she had not had them.

- It's okay, I understand that for any mother, a child is more important than anything else. As for my situation and your possible help ... Let me clarify some points. I met Urtear almost by chance. Her life wasn't a bed of roses... Do you know how to put up soundproof barriers? I think the conversation will be heated. I don't want the children to wake up.

/ Does she have a split personality? Why does she talk about herself in a male person? Before this she spoke normally…

Ur was somewhat stupefied, but she was used to the eccentricity of mages. She herself understood that she had some problems too. However, this did not stop her from casting a barrier.

- Now the children won't hear us.

- That's good. We'll have two topics to start with. First, we'll talk about the situation I'm in and the world in general. This is so you can decide whether you'll help me or not. Then we'll talk about Ultear and her situation. I don't think you'll be able to maintain your composure and rationality after everything I'm about to tell you.

- Is it that bad?

- Yes.

Ur was saddened by this revelation. She felt she had failed her daughter, but she did not know what she should have done to prevent it. There was no doubt that Ultear would have died if she had not been brought to the Bureau.

/ No. There's no point in thinking about what I could have changed. What's most important now is the present Ultear . I can fix it later.

- Okay, so... Who are you?

- In short, I am a very old mage. My current appearance is just a fake identity that serves as a cover for me. It would be unpleasant if everyone chased me, interfering with my personal life.

- Then how old are you? Sorry if this is personal.

- More than three centuries. Is that enough to be called old?

Ur nodded. She knew she was just a little girl compared to Zig … if his words were true. She didn't quite trust him yet.

- More than... Oh ... That means you...

Zeref's main "wave of popularity" . You can't even imagine how many evil creatures he managed to create in his lifetime.

Ur understood what time period Sieg lived in, and it was obvious that he had been through a lot of shit . The trade wars were very bloody, as there was a lot of money involved, but they were nothing compared to what happened 150 years ago. At that time, the flames of war blazed across the continent, there was hardly a year when there was no new war, revolution, or at least a major battle.

Back then, rivers of blood actually flowed, and mountains could be created from the corpses.

At that time, countries were collapsing, fragmenting, uniting into alliances, and fighting with each other.

In short, it was a turbulent time, but it would have been over in 30 years at worst, as resources would have been exhausted. But at that time, the cultists Zeref were the most common, powerful and influential. Stably, once every 10 years, a new demon of the books of Zeref appeared , which sowed real chaos in the places of its presence. It got to the point that countries were simply destroyed because of the battle against demons.

The famous battle between the Celestial Spirit King and Mard Geer Tartaros destroyed the country.

However, this did not answer Ur's questions.

- So ... What exactly are you getting at? What do you want me to do?

- First of all, I would like to ask you, are you well erudite in the Magic of time, space or divination?

- General concepts, my direction was completely different.

Ur saw no point in lying, since this information was verifiable. Besides, she did not want to lie to her benefactor. But it was this information that untied Sigmund's hands.

- Okay, then I will explain some points. My specializations are: Soul Magic, Combat Magic, Space Magic, and Divination Magic. That is the order in which my specializations occur. Divination Magic is especially difficult, as it works in very specific conditions, when there are emissions of large amounts of Magic or large-scale impacts on space and time. The last such event occurred in the year 697. Then I saw the possible future of this world. To say that I was horrified is to say nothing. Against the backdrop of future events, past wars seem small and insignificant.

Zig's serious face interested Ur, but she didn't raise almost anything.

- Wait! If such an event happened in 697, and now it's 774, then you had 77 years to implement your plan. I don't believe that in such a short time you failed to achieve anything.

Ur was skeptical of Zig's words. He was too strong to not have done something important in that time. He would have had time to create a guild, raise more than one generation of strong mages, and then solve his problems with the help of the guild.

- I know that if I had another 77 years to implement the plan, I wouldn't need you. However, in 697, I died, and then all this time I waited for the moment when a body compatible with me would appear. I was reborn in the half-dead body of a boy. Any strong magic will destroy this body. I don't need to tell you how strong a child's body must be to withstand the power of Magic equal to an S-rank mage. And I am much stronger than an S-rank. You can just imagine that this form is an advanced prosthesis that helps me realize my plans.

Ur believed it. Soul magic is capable of many things, the ethereal ghosts of powerful mages themselves are their souls fixed in some object. Such a method of resurrection for a holy mage would not be far-fetched.

- Okay , then can you tell me about your proposal and what role I will play in your plans?

- It all depends on how things go after my intervention. However, in the most basic scenario, I want you to join my guild. I will soon be heading to Fiore to create a magic guild that will assist me in my plans.

- Why not here?

- Fiore will have the greatest concentration of strong personalities. At least 13 mages have been born there to date, who in 10 years will be able to reach the same level as the gods of Ishgar , or even higher.

Ur had heard a lot about the famous gods of Ishgar , but it was hard for her to imagine that so many people living not only at the same time, but even in the same country could become so strong.

- I find it hard to believe. It sounds... too fantastic.

- Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. Have you heard that expression?

- Yes, I heard. But I don't really understand him.

- Each such cycle lasts on average 20~25 years. The gods of Ishgar were also born in this cycle. And the bad times ended in 697. Do you understand what I'm hinting at? The next 20 years will be very hot.

- That's true. Major wars happen somewhere once a century or 80 years... Okay, so far you're speaking plausibly. What will happen in your future?

- This year, the demon of Zeref's books , Deliora , is supposed to awaken . He's supposed to rampage through this country until you seal him with an "ice coffin" spell or something similar.

- I don't like the beginning anymore.

It wasn't that Ur didn't believe Zig's words, but it was an unlikely event. If he really predicted something like that, then she would believe him. If he could arrange something like that, then he would have the money, and the power, and the influence, and the helpers who would do something like that. He wouldn't need her.

- This is just the beginning. A little later, I will go look for an island in the ocean where the "R System" is being built. A large-scale ritual with the goal of resurrecting Zeref . This is my second future goal after Deliora . Around the same time, the strongest dark guilds will begin to form, the main composition of which consists exclusively of S-rank mages, and the masters of their guilds are equal to the holy mage, the god of Ishgar and the Demons of the books of Zeref , respectively. Moreover, each of them will strive to resurrect Zeref . And in the weakest dark guild, there are at least 6 S-rank mages. Doesn't the beginning make you happy?

- Please tell me you're just kidding.

A well-coordinated team of 6 S-rank mages led by a holy mage can undermine the economy of an entire country. And given how dark guilds usually behave, there will be at least 10 smaller guilds under their command with a couple dozen A-rank and B-rank mages, as well as a couple hundred C-rank mages.

With such a crowd, if there is a strong desire, it is possible to start a revolution.

- No. It was the weakest guild that was looking for the ancient weapon, Nirvana.

Sigmund likes the way Ur's face becomes more and more irritated and sullen. He is not the only one who suffers from the knowledge of what will happen in the future.

- You don't do better.

- I know, I don't like such prospects myself. It was the guild « Oración Seis ". Another guild is called " Grimoire Heart ". It consists of 2 ordinary S-rank mages, 7 very strong S-rank mages, one Saint-level mage, and their master, who is the same age as the Gods of Ishgar . In fact, he is equal in strength to the Gods of Ishgar .

 Ur there were no words to comment on this.

- Well, the strongest dark guild Tartaros consists entirely of demons. Without all the demonized people, there will be 9 demons there who are not inferior in strength to Deliora , and even superior . Well, their guild master is Mard Geer.

- Is now the right time to shout "we're all going to die"?

Ur was not in the mood.

- It's too early. You do understand that they are Etherias , and therefore they use curses, not magic?

- Well, yes.

- So, the magic council began to gather exclusively senile people, since they approved the construction of the weapon of mass destruction "Face". Its essence is to destroy all magic on the territory of Ishgar . Can you imagine what will happen to the magicians above rank C after this?

- Your mother! What are they doing there? Are they completely fucking nuts?!

A sharp decrease in the concentration of Magic in the atmosphere will have a catastrophic effect on any somewhat strong mage. The body of any mage is accustomed to the fact that it is constantly exposed to the pressure of magical power. When the concentration of Magic drops sharply, the pressure of magical power also drops, while the soul of the mage still tries to compensate for the pressure by splashing out magic. As a result, we get the same situation that Makarov found himself in during the war against Phantom Lord. A sudden release of Magic from the body is always dangerous for a mage, and a violent one due to the Face is even more so. This is a huge stress for the body, all sick, weak or hospitalized mages will simply die within 2 hours after such a "miracle". But the worst will be for those who are stronger than others. Most holy mages will simply die, leaving Ishgar completely defenseless against external opponents. Ishgar has had tense relations with the same Arakitashii for the last few centuries.

- They can't be that stupid, right?

- They can, Ur, they can. One of the council members was in cahoots with Tartaros . They wanted to do some kind of huge sacrifice ritual to resurrect Zeref , getting rid of all their opponents, since their power would not be affected by the face.

- So, we're going to have an apocalypse here?

- One of .

- What could be worse than this?

Ur didn't understand what was going on. He didn't need to make up all this fantasy to get her to join his guild. So why was he saying this?

- We will also have a war with the Aroboles Empire from Arakitasia . The weakest member there is stronger than the three gods of Ishgar . And there are 12 of them, and two of them can destroy the country with one spell. One of the members is over 400 years old, so ... Besides , this is my third target.

- Okay, I realized that we're in deep shit . Let's summarize what awaits us. Deliora , some System R, Oración Seis , Grimoire Heart , Tartaros , Face, the war with Aroboles . Did I miss anything?

- I didn't have time to tell you about Lullaby, the Book Demon Zeref , the possible earlier conflict against Aroboles , the appearance of Dragon Slayers from the past, the appearance of real dragons from the past, and the war against the Apocalypse Dragon. But, in general, that's it.

Ur began to massage her temples. She felt her blood pressure rising. She also began to feel that her strength, which claimed to be that of a saint, no longer seemed impressive.

- Let's put it this way. I don't really believe what you just told me. I still believe the story about you, but everything else? No. So if at least two of the extremely unlikely events you named happen, then I'll immediately pack my things and move to Fiore . I'm not happy with a world that can turn into the Apocalypse just by the wave of some idiots, demons, or something else.

- I am more than satisfied with this.

It was a good deal for Zig. He was forming a mage guild to have a backup plan for the cover people, so it was going well.

- How can I find you then? What will you name the guild?

- I don't even know... The Heart of the Spirit or the Crystal of Sephira , probably. Still , I specialize in Soul Magic.

- Okay ... And since we've covered that topic, how about we talk about Ultear ?

- I won't say anything, because I took the necessary documents with me. This is incriminating evidence.

After that, Zig handed Ur the experiment logs. And with each page, her mood became worse and worse. About a third of the way through, she simply threw the document on the coffee table in front of her and grabbed her head.

- Ultear ... My daughter ... What you've been through...

- Don't you want to go and settle the score? The culprits are still there. There is incriminating evidence, the magic council will not dare to do anything against you, otherwise their reputation will be destroyed, and their power will be severely limited. Any king will issue a decree limiting the power of the council in order to raise his rating.

- Where are they?

Ur looked at Ziga gave him a look that would make almost anyone flinch. The desire to kill was obvious.

- I can take you straight there.

- Let's go now. I won't rest until I get rid of them.

- Okay, but first take this. This is the rest of the incriminating evidence. Will you call the rune knights?

- Fuck them all. These documents from the Bureau, they don't let just anyone in there, which means everyone knows everything and is covering for them. The only thing they'll get from me is a bunch of corpses. They'll know how to brazenly lie to my face, mocking my daughter.

Ur was deadly serious. And that seriousness appealed to Sigmund very much. It just shows how much she treasured Ultear .

- Okay, follow me.

And the mage duo left Ur's house, after which Sieg cast a protective Kido on Ur's house. Ur tried to break the barrier immediately, thinking it was something strange, but it turned out to be an ordinary barrier.

- We don't want anything to happen to Leon and Ultear , do we?

- Okay, it's just… I'm just on edge right now.

- I understand. Well, now follow me.

Bakudo again , then opened Garganta , and Ur followed after him.

- What is this monstrous Magic pressure?

- It's just the specifics of the mode of transportation.

- You must understand that any mage below S rank would simply pass out from such pressure, right?

Ur was surprised, as the secrets of her new acquaintance multiplied at some crazy speed.

- I know, but usually I go to such places alone.

It was only after she exited the Garganta that she felt a strange magic around her, and she turned around to see a much more monstrous Bakudo behind her.

- We are now in that very Bureau. I have placed a barrier on him, you can have fun. The main culprit is immobilized.

- Thank you.

And after that, Ur began to check for the main evidence of Zig's words on this base. And she found a machine to enhance magical power. Out of 350 children, only Ultear was able to survive. The survival rate is less than 0.3%.

After this, Ultear went on a rampage.

/ Hmm ... Such filigree control over magic. She impaled all the participants, their wounds were painful enough for a person to experience agony, and the ice vines began to clasp all the large vessels, preventing them from getting out. Because of the pinched leg vessels, they stop feeling them, the pressure increases, the blood goes to the upper limbs, as well as the internal organs, increasing sensitivity. Lacerated wounds due to such a cruel reprisal cause moderate bleeding, and ice magic freezes the entire body and especially the blood. These bags of blood will suffer for at least several hours, experiencing agony, feeling how their body grows cold. I admit, Mademoiselle Ur knows a lot about perversions.

Sigmund waited for Ur for about three hours, thanks to his physiology, he clearly heard and even felt how Ur beat and literally tortured the Brain.

However, everything comes to an end, Ur satisfied her desire for revenge, after which she went outside. Ur looked a little disheveled and tired, but satisfied.

- Home?

Ur looked at Zig, who seemed completely indifferent to the surrounding scene. However, his indifference somehow calmed her down.

In their world, it is difficult to find a person who would calmly accept not only the murder of a person, but also mass murder and torture. In 95% of cases, it will be a dark magician, and in the remaining 5%, it will be a maniac worse, like cultists Zerefa .

Zeref has influenced people so much that every government and magic council, even in particularly serious cases, uses a preventive measure in the form of imprisonment, rather than execution as before. People themselves have become much kinder to each other, allowing the magician to "fool around" as they wish, as long as it does not harm society.

- Yes, home...

The subsequent crossing of the Garganta was very quiet.

- This… Thank you for your help. I am very grateful that you saved Ultear . If you really meet the Book Demon Zeref , then call me. I will help. And… since it is night, why don't you spend the night at my place?

Ur had a rough idea of how terrifying and powerful the Demons of the Books of Zeref must be to destroy a country with their rampage, and also to earn the title of "Living Disaster". Ur herself is hardly capable of such power, and therefore she can roughly estimate the danger of the enemy.

But at least the two of them will be able to escape?

Zig was pleased when people took care of him, even if it was as a guest.

- Thank you. I'll call you if anything happens.

After Ultear returned to Ur's life, the two spent time with each other constantly, to the point that they sometimes simply forgot about the rest of the world. Ultear even managed to forget about the chat, despite the fact that in the past she almost never left it.

And at another moment of closeness between daughter and mother, Garganta appeared next to them .

- Ur, get ready. I found Deliora .

It was Zig in his disguise, waiting for her answer.

- Already?

- Yes, one dark guild woke him up from his sleep. We have 5 minutes, otherwise he will reach the city.

Ur exchanged glances with her daughter, then smiled at her.

- Ultear , keep an eye on Leon. Mom's going to need to work with Sieg for a bit.

- Do you really need to leave?

Ultear knew they were going to fight someone strong, she didn't want her mother to get hurt.

- Unfortunately, yes. It is the duty of adults to solve problems so that children can live peacefully.

- Ultear , don't worry, I'll look after Ur. I could have handled Deliora alone, but she asked me to join in.

Ultear looked at her mother tearfully. She didn't want Ur to go on a dangerous mission.

Ur herself looked accusingly at Sigmund.

- Two is better than one. Besides, it will be safer, not to mention that there is a city nearby.

- I'm only calling you because of our agreement and your Ice Creation Magic. You're required to protect the city while I deal with Deliora .

This noticeably calmed Ultear .

- Okay, let's move out.

And Ur said goodbye to her daughter.

And only in Garganta did she ask Zig again.

- Am I really just going to protect the city from random attacks?

- Yes. And take this just in case. In case of serious injury, inject this into your vein. It will restore the integrity of your soul, and then I will be able to restore the physical body.

- And if there is no time?

- Inject it into your ass . The effect is the same, but longer.

- Okay... I hope it will be quick and calm.

After leaving the Garganta , Zig immediately gave the command.

- Go to the city and try to evacuate the population. I'll stay here, waiting for Deliora . There are mountains and gorges ahead, along which all the roads pass. I can't just destroy them.

- Okay, take care of yourself.

After this, Ur ran towards the city.

Sigmund himself was calm, but he knew that this was a good opportunity to quickly gain OD.

Five minutes to dead : Is this the same broadcast?

Zig explained the concept of in-flight chat to Ultear in detail so she could understand it properly. She had already found some interesting slots in the Shop that she wanted to get.

Sweet Slime: What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?

Pedobear's Wet Dream : Is it just me or are you some kind of trouble magnet, Onii-chan ?

Best target for rape: I can't see anything yet.

Alabama's Tragic Love: How Are You Doing?

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Things are going well so far. Now I'm going to kill the local demon who wants to destroy the city.

Sigmund realized that the chat does not evaluate what feats a chat participant has accomplished, but how spectacular and interesting it is. The same Mio gets 2 or 3 OD every day for a broadcast. Yes, puberty has hit Sig, and that's why he also looks at Mio attentively . Not all the time, but he does. Besides, achievements do not play a special role. If it were different, then Ciel would have received at least a couple of hundred thousand OD, and not a measly 4 hundred.

Alabama's Tragic Love: You seemed to want to test the modified Noble Phantasms .

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Yeah. I'll be testing them.

Best target for rape: Maybe you were doing something else?

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: Nothing special. I'm thinking of creating a guild of mages, something like adventurers from other works. I'm already inviting Ultear and her mother to join it.

Pedobear's Wet Dream : Really? I think our favorite otaku would want to join a guild like that.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: This is actually one of the safest ways for Kazuma to get stronger. Getting stronger here isn't that hard if you're a mage. There are a lot of low-level quests he can already do, and a lot of different types of Magic he can learn.

And by this time, Deliora appeared in Zig's direct line of sight, as well as everyone else in the chat.

Deliora is a massive, dark blue, humanoid Demon. It has a large torso and two large arms that end in scaly palms. On the left and right sides of its torso, as well as around its neck, Deliora is covered in a series of spikes. It also has large, pointed teeth, as well as two empty eyes .

()

However, the most terrifying thing was his Magical presence, which everyone could feel after the chat was updated.

Five minutes to dead : What a monstrous magical power!

Ultear felt her body trembling in fear. She knew she had a reserve of S-rank Magic, but … It was just a drop in the bucket compared to the real monsters in this world. If she met that monster, she would definitely die.

For the first time in her life, she felt that she really lacked strength.

Cute Slime: Now I believe that this is a real demon. Will the Orc of Calamity be as strong? If so, there is no way I can defeat him.

Pedobear's Wet Dream : Even my mother can't make me feel this scared. Is Deliora stronger than her?

Maria had never seen her mother go all out, so she had a false sense of how strong she was. Siegmund wanted to laugh. If Sheila was this weak, even with all her attacks dealing soul damage, she would be the most flawed. Sieg himself felt like he could kill Deliora with a single spit of his magic, but he would hold back in order to gain OD. The situation was completely under his control, so he intended to gain the maximum benefit.

Best Rape Target: And I Thought I Was Strong ... What does a frog at the bottom of a well mean?

Mio considered herself strong, yes, she didn't count all the god-like beings like Sieg and Ciel , but in general she should at least be not bad?

Alabama's Tragic Love: He doesn't seem that strong to me.

EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!: If it were otherwise, it would be strange. Okay, please don't distract me and watch carefully. Ultear , this especially concerns you. He is not the strongest demon that will appear in this world in the next 10 years, so... I hope you will train hard. Once I finish my business, I will help you with your training.

Five minutes to dead: Thank you , Oni - chan !

To Ultear, Sieg was a caring older brother, so it was no surprise that she named him that. The others didn't pay attention to it, as they knew that Ultear was quite a young girl.

Deliora noticed his first victim and decided to attack her right away. He concentrated his energy in front of him and shot her in the form of a beam.

Yellowish energy flew towards Zig, but he managed to dodge, the beam began to pursue him for several hundred meters until it stopped, but the Power of this beam was monstrous. This beam caused a powerful explosion that raised the upper layers of the soil upward, creating cracks in the ground and earthquakes.

()

And somewhere in the city panic began. Ur had been in the city for some time and was leading the evacuation, her influence and authority in this country was great enough to convince the mayor and the rune knights that it was dangerous to be here.

However, panic and stampede have now begun.

- Everyone! Calm down, I came with my partner to save you, while my partner distracts the demon, you need to evacuate! I will protect the city from random attacks by Deliora , and you must evacuate!

The presence of the holy mage significantly calmed the city's inhabitants, which helped with the evacuation, however, despite Ur's outward calm, inside she was in a panic.

Deliora's normal attack , then I have nothing to do here! I need to spend 10% of my Magic to achieve the same effect! I can hardly block Deliora's attacks ... Now I understand why the Demons of Zeref's Books are so feared.

However, Siegmund didn't care about how Ur was doing . He pulled out his Caliburn and poured his magic into it. The holy sword began to glow and released an incredibly powerful stream of light. Sieg swung his sword down and attacked the demon. This energy attack was powerful enough to disperse the clouds in the night sky. The heat flow hit the 50 meter demon, causing it to roar in rage. This attack was powerful enough to cause a serious wound to its chest. This time, he began to charge up a much more powerful attack, but it was aimed at the city.

/ The demon turned out to be much smarter than they say about him.

Sigmund used Sonido and stood right in front of the city. This was a perfect opportunity to use another Noble Phantasm .

Luminosity Eternelle

Zig placed a holy flag in front of him, creating a barrier.

Deliora's strongest attack was coming right now , so Ur created a huge barrier of ice around the entire city, using up more than half of her magic.

And a powerful stream of magic crashed into Zig's barrier, after which, like a stream of water, it began to diverge in different directions, creating new cracks whose depth reached hundreds of meters, and whose length extended for several kilometers, barely touching the outskirts of the city.

Cute Slime: Wow …

Best Rape Target: I didn't think it was even possible to repel such an attack.

/ What a monstrous defense...

Ur saw that Zig didn't even move from his spot.

Gravity Magic: Attraction.

Everyone felt that they had become somewhat heavier, but the epicenter of this heaviness was Deliora . It became so heavy that the ground beneath him simply collapsed, and he himself fell to his knees.

Sigmund calmly ran up to Deliora and slammed his banner up while using Magic.

Gravity Magic: Inversion.

After this blow, Deliora flew up into the sky with a terrible roar. Sigmund spread his wings, then flew after him with much greater speed. He hit him again to send him away from the city, then released the true name of the phantasm .

Victorious' Golden Sword: Caliburn !

Caliburn once again illuminated this world with his noble gold, cutting off the Demon's arm. However, this exposed Sigmund to a direct hit from Deliora , another energy shot hit the target, but it had no effect. Sigmund simply covered his eyes with his hand to avoid blurring his vision due to the too bright light, and then used his final move.

Sigmund opened his Reishi Bow and began loading a Reishi arrow , imbuing it with the effect of his Ring of Link.

A moment later, the arrow had traveled the entire distance from Sigmund to Deliora , made a large hole in the demon's chest, and then began to diverge into a large beam, dispersing this transcendental energy.

/ Incredible, he defeated the Demon! Defeated Deliora !

Ur had excellent eyesight, so she clearly saw how the demon was killed.

It left a lasting impression on her.

Five minutes to dead: Oni - chan such strong !

Right before Ultear's eyes , Sigmund defeated a large, scary and powerful demon, which, given her past situation, made his image akin to heroic .

However, Sigmund had other plans. He landed next to Deliora , then restored it with the Book of the End to the bewildered gaze of the chat, then ripped out the demon's soul and sealed it in a gigai , wisely replicating the Demon's injuries for greater authenticity.

/ It's a pity that Deliora is so weak. I have to restrain myself greatly to not kill him. He's extremely difficult to perform against, to earn OD ... However , I can't just leave such a valuable resource as the Demon Soul of the Books of Zeref . If I'm really lucky, I can recruit Mirajane , but if not, I can always give her to someone else. I already have two candidates. Ur and Ultear seem like good assets worth investing in. Especially Ultear .

[ Broadcast Ended! EXTRA EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! 247 OD Awarded! ]

/ Not bad for three minutes of combat, although it's a one-time event. Because Ultear so impressionable and because of the chat update I got so many OD. I was counting on 50 OD.

The next moment, Sigmund began to fly towards the city, trying to act as friendly and sweet as possible. He needed a quality image. Slowly descending on his angelic wings emitting a golden glow, Sigmund appeared before the city's inhabitants, like an angel under a clear moonlit night. Fortunately, Ur was nearby.

- I'm done. Were there any difficulties? Does anyone need help?

Even Zig's voice became very feminine and captivating, so much so that even Ur believed that a real Angel was standing in front of her. Ur grinned, then shook her head.

- No. You dealt with Deliora quickly , so the material damage is about zero. As for the city's residents, well...

Ur turned her gaze to the mayor of the city. He quickly understood what was expected of him.

- No, there are no fatalities, only minor injuries due to panic and stampede ... And I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the people of this city for saving us. Could you please state your name so that we can properly thank you and your guild?

- I am not a member of any guild. My name is Ur Milkovich , I think you know me.

Ur answered the Mayor's question quite quickly, as she was used to something like this.

- Jeanette , I am also not a member of any magic guild. I was just pursuing a dark guild. I accidentally stumbled upon the guild "Plague Hand", which was unsealing Deliora , and so I helped. And I can help you with the wounded, since I know healing magic.

/ She is an angel…

This phrase has deeply settled in the minds of people who saw Sieg's smile. Both Siegmund and Jeanne are charismatic enough to lead armies, and their symbiosis is much more terrible.

- Eh? Thank you again for your help, Mrs. Jeanette . If it's not too much trouble.

- Please, it's not difficult for me to lend you a helping hand.

And while Sigmund was creating his reputation as the Saint, a boy with black hair ran up to Ur.

- Please! Teach me to be a magician! I want to be strong to protect my parents!

Exactly how it is Ur, a second student appeared.

It's me again. I ask you once again to leave your comments and reviews. By the way, recently a funny one-star review appeared. There is absolutely no criticism in it, and therefore it only makes me laugh. I will probably delete it.
