Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 493 The Rune Knights (Second Update)

"seal!"

Jerry turned the rice cooker upside down on the cursed demon, who was kneeling on the ground after being beaten up by Erza and her two companions. He then channeled his powerful magic and quickly activated a sealing spell.

He usually used a thermos to apply sealing magic, or a Russian nesting doll if it was a multiple seal.

However, after he improved the sealing magic, in order to enhance the sealing effect and enable it to seal more powerful enemies, he chose a larger rice cooker, which could be inscribed with more runes, as the sealing medium.

"No!!!"

As if sensing its fate, the cursed demon was so frightened that it immediately tried to run away, but the sealing magic released by the rice cooker above stopped it.

Unfortunately, the suction force was so strong that its body could not move an inch under that force. In addition, it had been seriously injured by the three mages and could not muster much strength.

And so, the cursed demon, which was over 300 meters tall, transformed into a vortex and gradually shrank, before being sucked into the rice cooker in Jerry's hand.

After closing the lid and adding a final rune at the seal, Jerry, holding the rice cooker, flapped his wings and slowly descended.

"I've sealed it away. Are you all alright?"

He was just worried that after he started practicing receiving magic, he wouldn't be able to find a powerful enough creature to receive it from, and then this cursed demon delivered itself to his doorstep.

While the magical creatures in the Ring World are decent, most of them deal only average damage. Even the powerful XXXXX-level magical creatures don't offer much help to his current strength.

However, their various innate magical abilities can sometimes be of some use.

In theory, receiving magic can receive a range of non-human creatures such as animals, monsters, and demons, as long as you meet the receiving conditions.

Jerry's current physical, magical, and mental abilities should be sufficient to receive cursed demons; the only thing he lacks is an understanding of how to receive magic.

Once he completes this step later, he will be able to receive the cursed demon and transform into a giant cursed demon himself.

To be honest, the Cursed Demon's overall strength isn't that great. In terms of raw power, he can transform into a giant over 200 meters tall, and with the addition of strength magic and combat magic, he could easily overpower the Cursed Demon.

In terms of magic, his own fire magic is definitely several levels higher than the demonic flames of the cursed demon.

What he truly valued was the cursed demon's legendary sound curse magic, the curse song, capable of mass killing.

If this cursed song is really as powerful as rumored, then it's worth looking forward to.

That's why he appeared just as the cursed demon was about to be severely injured, and sealed it inside the rice cooker with sealing magic.

"It would be good if it could be sealed!"

Upon hearing that the cursed demon had been sealed by Jerry, Erza instantly removed her Black Feather Armor and plopped down on the ground.

She didn't have much magic power left to begin with, and the fact that she's been able to keep fighting until now is truly a testament to her strong willpower.

Gray simply lay down on the ground. Unlike Erza's fighting style, which mainly involves close combat and can conserve mana to the extreme, his Ice Shape magic consumes a lot of mana.

Natsu, however, remained energetic, spewing fire everywhere as if he hadn't expended any energy at all.

There's no way around it; as a Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, one's power increases whenever one consumes flames that weren't generated by oneself. Furthermore, the body of a Dragon Slayer Mage is constantly evolving into that of a dragon, making it naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary mage.

Therefore, Natsu's magical burst power and destructive power may not be as good as Erza's, but his endurance and resilience are definitely several levels higher.

"It's finally over, but... this was way too much!"

Only after seeing that Jerry had put the cursed demon into a box did Lucy dare to walk out from under the train station with Happy.

However, when she saw the entire city of Oshibana, which had been completely reduced to ruins, she couldn't help but make a comment.

It's no wonder Lucy was so frightened. When they first arrived in Oshibana, it was a bustling and prosperous city. Now, not only have all the people been scared away, but the entire city has also been completely destroyed in the battle.

Just then, a huge magic circle formed not far away, and hundreds of mages dressed in uniform green robes and holding staff-shaped magical artifacts appeared under the magic circle.

"Not an enemy, but the Rune Knights of the Council!"

Erza immediately recognized the identities of the mages and quickly stopped Natsu from going forward to fight.

The Rune Knights, the strongest armed force under the Council, are composed entirely of mages and are specifically designed to deal with various magical incidents occurring throughout the kingdom.

At the same time, it is also one of the forces used by the council to deter the major mage guilds.

"The police always show up after the fact; this law certainly applies in every world."

Upon hearing Erza's reminder, Jerry couldn't help but let out a sigh.

They were nowhere to be seen when we were fighting the Cursed Demons, but they've appeared right after we finished fighting them. The timing is really perfect.

"As expected of Fairy Tail, I guess only you guys could do something as absurd as destroying a city."

In front of the Rune Knights, a woman wearing a white top and with long black hair led the Rune Knights' mages and quickly surrounded Erza and the others.

"Councilor Ultear, we created this situation because we released the cursed demons from the Blackwood Guild in order to eliminate them, so there's no need for this!"

Erza stood up and went to the black-haired woman to explain.

The black-haired woman chuckled:

"Of course, I only arrived after receiving the notification, bringing the Rune Knights and using the council's emergency teleportation magic circle. However, it seems you've already resealed that demon!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Jerry and the rice cooker in his hand.

"Since you know that, why?"

Erza glanced around at the Rune Knights still surrounding them and frowned.

The black-haired woman shook her head:

"It is a good thing that you resealed the demon, but it is also a fact that you destroyed an entire city. As for the specific outcome, we will have to bring you to the council for questioning and await judgment by all the council members before we can decide."

"So if the city reopens, will we no longer need to?"

At this moment, Jerry took a step forward and stood with Erza.

At this moment, Gray, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy seemed to have thought of something, and the worries on their faces disappeared at the same time, replaced by big smiles.

They almost forgot that Jerry, who knows a little bit about everything, is most proficient in the lost magic that can repair all buildings—the Arc of Time!

Their Fairy Tail is different from before!
