Chapter 32 'Brightness' and 'Original Sin' VII - 'The River of Light'
In the city that was filled with death due to the devil's curse song, a sudden surge of pale golden magic swept through the sky, gradually dispelling this influence.
Light, countless lights are still gathering, and stars are intertwined on a roof.
Like rivers of light.
…
——["Mavis, you're sleeping in the library again!"]
(Actually, I know...)
——["Put your shoes on! Little fool!"]
(I...am not as strong as I think...)
——["Don't be afraid, am I okay?"]
(That’s why...Zera, who is aware of this, will always stay with me...)
——["You're hiding here and using "Phantom" again? There's really nothing you can do..."]
(It is precisely because of Zela that I have the courage to come here.)
——[Let’s go! Go to the world outside the island.]
(I have always been the one supported and protected...)
——[I won’t worry about leaving you alone... Then let’s go find it together, "Fairy".]
(This time...)
——[Mavis!]
(It's my turn to protect Zella!)
…
Burying the memories deep in his heart again, the praying goblin slowly opened his eyes.
Then, the light conceived in the soul illuminates the future for this determined girl!
The words blurted out, and Yuri, who was guarding Mebis with several companions, looked around in surprise, or to be precise, he looked around the entire city.
After all, he is also a magician now, so he can naturally feel that the concentration of magic power in this area centered on the feather-eared girl has reached a terrifying level.
And all of this is caused by that seemingly inconspicuous and fragile body.
"But after preparing for such a long time, what exactly is Mavis going to do..."
He looked quite uneasy when he spoke. At this time, Warlord had already realized that neither Zella nor Mavis was a worry-free person.
After the previous people gathered together, Mebis, who learned of Zela's decision, helped evacuate the crowd, but he never forgot to pay attention to the battle situation.
The battle situation was changing rapidly. The brown-haired girl who had always used her dexterous mobility and powerful magical power to deal with the devil and even gain the upper hand inexplicably became in danger after casting the magic that formed the light beam.
The figure struggling to hold on in the air like a candle made several people's hearts rise to their throats.
The death curse song that followed made several people realize that the crisis was approaching. Mebis, who was holding his skirt, seemed to have made some decision and asked Yuri to prepare for the escort work.
That was the scene just now.
…
"...Now, I have no choice but to believe them."
Wary of the demon's possible second attack, Precht did not turn his head.
Although the light curtain surrounding the monster solidified again, he still did not dare to relax at all.
Zella’s current situation is also a concern for everyone.
"..."
"...Thank you, Precht, Yuri and Volod too."
"——!"
A soft voice of thanks came from behind, and a pale golden halo enveloped the feather-eared girl who had woken up.
Under the incredulous gazes of the three people, all the gathered light magic was concentrated on Mavis's arm, revealing a crimson coat of arms.
(I’ve kept you waiting for a long time...Zera...)
He stretched out his right hand and pointed it in the direction of the devil, and a solemn voice sounded.
"This is in the way! I'm so angry! You bastard! Why are you still struggling when you look like you're about to die?"
With a punch on the restored 'Aurora Wall', the dead wood demon had to stop singing his curse and roared at Zera, whose hair was getting lighter and lighter.
The white light that could 'decompose' it has disappeared, but the cage has become stronger, and all its curse-killing magic has been sealed inside.
But on second thought, he thought that the brown-haired girl in front of him was buying time for his companions to escape, and the deadwood demon twisted its three eyes proudly.
"Ah! Ah haha! I understand! Do you think they can escape from my grasp like this? That would be too underestimated the devil given life by Lord Zeref!"
"Don't you think that this city is my limit? Unfortunately, the scope of my 'curse killing' is far beyond your imagination!"
The demon put his head against the barrier and stared at Zera's face, hoping to see the expression of despair more clearly, and continued to shout high.
"Whether it's this city or the owner of the light-attribute magic power, I won't let anyone go after I leave here!"
"But you must not be able to see it! Ah? How about crying and begging me to let them go?"
The Deadwood Demon, who kept spouting nonsense and thought he had a chance to win, no longer wasted any effort to destroy the cage surrounding himself. He was just waiting for the owner of this thing to run out of magic power, and he was slowly making everyone despair.
"well……"
Flying in the air sighed condescendingly. The girl's nonchalant look seemed to have stimulated this devil with a bad personality again.
"Ah?! What's your expression?!"
"...If the demons created by that guy Zeref have the same IQ as you, that would be a really happy thing."
The magic power somewhere has been collected and concentrated, and Zella knows exactly what this means.
(…I don’t know how she did it…I didn’t expect that she had already completed one…)
"Damn it?! How dare you say that to me!"
"Look at the top of your head."
"--Um?!"
Part of the cage was lifted, and the originally blocked space circulated again.
"Then, what was that?! When exactly was it!?"
His expression became extremely panicked, and facing the huge halo above his head, he felt a very unpleasant feeling.
The devil's instinct was resisting this force, and even before it came into contact, part of its body was already smoking.
"Stop! Stop it!"
The cage he formed was dispersed, and the ruthless light of annihilation tightly strangled the enemy.
The power that is enough to cause the heaven and earth to change color makes it impossible to resist.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahaha on duty!”
Amidst the demon's screams, a huge torrent of light completely erupted, becoming a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
Did not disperse for a long time.
(Is this... one of the three major super magics used by Mavis in the future...)
Looking at all this, the brown-haired girl with the most direct perception also sighed from the bottom of her heart.
(But... with her current magic power...)
(should……)
She knew that Mavis had been working hard in this direction. After all, the two of them had explored the basics of magic theory together, and they had given a lot of suggestions because they had "seen the finished product."
And magic is the biggest problem she faces.
(Forget it... let’s talk about it later...)
Summoning the last of his strength, he landed on the ground. Although Zera still had many problems and troubles to solve, at this time, facing the feather-eared girl who threw herself into his arms, and her smiling companions, everything changed.
It's not that important anymore.
The light broke through the clouds of evil magic, and the cheering crowd welcomed the new life of the city, which also represented a temporary pause in this battle that symbolized a turning point in the fate of several people. (To be continued)
