(Nirvana...the old man...still the missing body...)
(……correct!)
(Is this the one who created this magic more than four hundred years ago...)
Searching for several keywords in his mind, Zella quickly found the answer.
She remembered that there was a remnant of an ancient people living in this sea of trees, but in her impression, this old man not only adopted Wendy, but also created an entire phantom guild "The Cat's Place" with the unmatched power of earth demons.
’ Apart from that, he is just an ‘ordinary caretaker’.
Now it seems that I really can't believe it.
It is impossible that no one has been here for hundreds of years, and such dangerous magic cannot be left undefended.
Recalling the trees along the way that seemed to have an enchantment effect, enough to make people disoriented, plus this last seal, everything can be understood.
And with the other party's current attitude and vigilance, she probably won't let her 'succeed' easily...
"...The old man's name is Robin Lu. Young man, what's behind you is really dangerous."
"Get out of there quickly before your will is disturbed!"
Staring solemnly at the seal behind Zera, the old man urged again.
It is precisely because you cannot feel the evil energy in the other party that it is even more dangerous.
It would be really bad if the concept of good and evil is reversed due to the influence of "Nirvana".
"..."
"...That won't work. I'm just here for it."
"——!"
She shrugged helplessly at the old man's warning, and this time Zella chose to go her own way in quite a 'villain style'.
If this matter didn't involve Mavis, she wouldn't mind having a good exchange of knowledge about magic with this old man who had been around for more than four hundred years.
Unfortunately, that is not the 'shortcut' the girl wants to take.
After analyzing the principle of "Nirvana", maybe she can realize the transformation between "light and darkness" faster.
And this is obviously contrary to the old man guarding the seal.
Moreover, the other party has persisted for four hundred years, and it is impossible for him to relax and let himself break the seal with just two empty words.
This is a matter of stance.
Since there is no way to mediate, there is no point in continuing the discussion, so we have to let the results speak for themselves.
She decided to come here after making full preparations.
At the very least, girls today still have the confidence to prevent the situation from getting irreversible.
So even though Robin Lu's face became darker and darker, Zella, who turned around, still pretended not to hear the call from behind, and pressed the gray flame that ignited on her right hand towards the seal.
She has discovered that although the old man as a missing person contains huge magic power, he has a fatal flaw, which is why he wants to use words to 'influence'.
Because the other party only knows or can only use 'sealing and enchantment system' methods and cannot use 'attack system' magic.
Because of this, he could only seal "Nirvana" and wait for someone worthy of his trust to destroy it.
…
——Zizzizi.
Soon, the runes began to burn under the erosion of gray flames, and the branches around the tree were also quickly disappearing.
"Stop it! If you continue to destroy it——!"
The seals that were constantly being destroyed made the old man yell anxiously, and the scene he didn't want to see happened.
Mistakenly thinking that the girl in front of him had been affected by "Nirvana", Robin Rue had no choice but to try to convert the magic power and try to prevent it by strengthening the seal.
However--
(...Magic circle?!)
An obsidian-like light suddenly appeared at his feet, and mysterious ancient characters marked his location into a circle.
It had long been expected that the old man with the missing body would not watch, so Zella made some "little tricks" in advance when he just spoke.
"...Anyway, I also have a reason for doing this. Please stay there for a while, old man."
After saying words of comfort that were completely unconvincing, Robin Lu, who was blocked from outside, could do nothing but stare.
It might take him a while to disable the magic circle, but within that time, the seal would definitely be destroyed.
Is everything over?
(..."Nirvana" is a magic that can change a person's character and reverse a person who is wandering between good and evil. As expected, this child has...)
Looking at the dark power spreading around the girl, the old man weakly lowered his shoulders, confirming his guess.
Of course, he didn't know that this was the essence of this mysterious girl's power.
(...Perhaps, it's time...to accept punishment for past sins...)
He lowered his eyes with a heavy face, and the old man seemed to have realized something.
"..."
"...Well...although you may not believe it, let me say it."
A voice without confusion came from the front.
Robin Lu looked up again and was surprised to find that the girl's current state did not look like she had fallen into darkness.
"I did come here for 'Nirvana', but the purpose should be different from what you imagined."
"...?"
"Don't worry, since I have broken the seal... I will take responsibility and destroy it."
"Four hundred years of bondage is enough, isn't it?"
"——!!!"
Zella's confident profile and words made the old man so shocked that he seemed to have forgotten to breathe at this moment.
Before he could figure out how his secret was exposed, what followed was a black light pillar that could penetrate even the sky, and an ancient console rising from the ground.
The seal of "Nirvana" has been broken.
…
(This feeling...is this what it is...)
Feeling the subtle changes taking place in her own strength and consciousness, Zeira also felt a little clearer in her heart.
The transformation of "light" and "dark", the replacement of "good" and "evil", the essence of "nirvana" is balance.
It's just that human personality cannot be transformed into light without limit. This is the biggest limitation of this magic.
But I have to say that the person who created this magic theory is definitely a genius.
Glancing at the old man who was still in a dazed state with emotion, Zera had already thought of how to solve the problem.
(This time, it was indeed a worthwhile trip...)
As long as a few flaws are changed, this will definitely be the magic that suits her best.
The body began to "transform into a star", the black and white spiritual clothes replaced the original clothes, ripples of magic power floated under the feet, and the whole person slowly rose into the air.
Smiling, he stretched out his right hand, and what appeared in his hand as the magic power gathered was a star-colored document that exuded a deeper darkness than "Nirvana".
Just by looking at it, it feels like your soul is about to be swallowed up.
This was the reason why she had the confidence to contact "Nirvana", and gained a new life with her in the star spirit world, housing the "half body" of all her power.
Although it could also be called the 'Book of Evil', 'Book of Darkness', 'Book of the Demon King'... But in the end, Zeira chose a more satisfactory name for her.
——"Star Code".
(...Let’s start and “record” everything here!)
The pages of the book began to turn, and the magic scattered in the atmosphere turned into words and became part of the book.
If someone observes from a high place at this time, they will find that the black light pillar of "Nirvana" is disappearing. (To be continued)
