Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

"It seems this is the Guardian's room. I really hope Lady Senice is in there."

Gao Wen was a little confused:

"The heart of the maze must be inside, right?"

Lokishi gives an example:

"I've heard rumors about the Double Heart Maze, too. In a maze like this, the first three levels are completely different from the last three, so there might be something unusual going on."

Gao Wen doesn't care:

"It'll just take a little longer, let's go in."

He took Roxy's hand and stepped onto the final transfer magic circle.

After a moment of trance.

What came into view was a spacious, palace-like rectangular hall. Thick pillars stood in every corner, the ceiling so high that one had to tilt their head upwards to see clearly. The floor was paved with something like tiles, each one engraved with intricate reliefs. Overall, it was more solemn and dignified than many audiences in smaller countries.

And in the deepest part of this gray palace, there is a huge monster, about twice the size of a red dragon, with gleaming emerald green scales all over its body, a short and strong body, and a total of nine heads.

But Gawain didn't care about this thing.

His gaze was completely fixed on the other person's back. It was a gigantic magic crystal that even he had never seen before. The visible part was four or five meters high, and including the crystal clusters on the edge, it was about ten meters wide. Inside the crystal in the center was a naked body with its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.

That was Senice Greyrat.

Gawain felt relieved. He let go of Luo Qixi's hand and immediately ordered:

"Protect Senis! She's in the magic crystal at the back!"

Roxy then looked past the enemy to find Senis, and quickly shared the information she knew:

"This guy is a Nine-Headed Dragon, and he's very weak against you, but wait until I build up my defense before attacking!"

Gao Wen smiled:

"That's what I meant."

Loki hummed and took two steps forward, raising her hands and building a steel barrier behind the Nine-headed Dragon that had just stood up. However, the barrier suddenly turned into iron powder and dissipated as soon as it was raised, emitting a sharp sound like rubbing glass.

"what?"

Luo Qixi exclaimed in surprise:

"The magic has been removed?!"

Gawain casually slashed out a wind blade, which was powerful enough to cut through the rock pillar. But when it was about to touch the Nine-headed Dragon, it suddenly dissipated, bringing with it another sharp "Ji──!" sound.

The nine-headed dragon roared nine times, seemingly with some pride. Gawain ignored it and continued to use limited-power water magic, earth magic, and fire magic to create matter to attack it. After confirming that all of them were ineffective, he switched to momentum magic and internal energy magic, which were also ineffective.

Luo Qixi looked at Gawain and suggested:

"The opponent's elimination has a distance limit. Lure it over a little and I'll set up a barrier, okay?"

Then, she saw the happy smile on Gawain's face, an excited expression that Luo Qixi had never seen on Gawain before. She felt a little worried:

"Gawain...are you okay?"

Gawain shook his head:

"No, I'm fine, and it's fine too. I didn't expect to see something that can turn matter into magic in a place like this. It's really great."

After the Great Shift, Gawain quickly realized that nature had transformed the matter of Fitoya Territory into magic to fill the gap. This realization immediately convinced him that his previous assumption of the irreversible transition from magic to matter was completely wrong. After all, the substances created by earth or water magic were simply normal matter imbued with a trace of magic—water molecules and various common soil molecules. The idea of ​​a reversible transition was natural, but scientifically speaking, it was practically unrealistic.

But, the answer is yes.

If nature itself can do it, and its creations can do it, then Gawain can naturally do it too.

In this way, after leaving the human world, he would not have to worry about how to replenish his own magic power. With a little further research and development, he might be able to decompose external matter into magic power and then absorb it as his own magic power.

This is great progress!

Instinctively based on Vitrum's worldview, Gawain even felt that this discovery was far more important than Senis's life, more important than Loki's life, and more important than all the lives and existences in the world.

However, when I think about this extent.

Gawain's smile cooled.

He slapped himself, apologetically:

"Just do as you say. I'll lead it away."

Gawain rushed forward as if escaping, the sword flashed, a head fell off, and the nine-headed dragon immediately attacked him violently, biting and brewing a powerful breath, moving slowly in the direction of Gawain's retreat.

When they were at a distance, Gawain had already chopped off the three big heads of the nine-headed dragon.

Only then did Lokixi begin to rebuild the barrier.

Gawain, who had just dodged the breath, also discovered that a new head had quickly grown from the broken neck of the Nine-Headed Dragon. Although he was a little surprised, he immediately thought of a solution:

"Why don't we chop them all off in one go and see if they'll kill us?"

Wait until the barrier is built.

Gao Wen slashed out nine rays of light from his sword.

The huge body of the nine-headed dragon fell down, turning into large pieces of green scales and magic stones scattered all over the ground.

It's dead.

Gawain sheathed his sword:

"Fortunately, the barrier wasn't used."

This was also the result Luo Qixi wanted to see. She dismantled the barrier she had just built, and the broken and collapsed magic crystal immediately came into view. Luo Qixi said loudly:

"Gawain! Turn around!"

Gawain turned around indifferently.

Loki took out a blanket from her bag and wrapped the unconscious Senis in the green magic crystal. She used advanced healing and intermediate detoxification in succession just in case, and then fed her a potion that could nourish her body.

At this time, Luo Qixi spoke:

"Let's gather up the spoils. Gawain, you really want those special magic stones, right? Speaking of which, I just remembered that thing is called a magic stone hydra. It's covered in magic stone scales that absorb magic power. It was sighted during the Second Human-Demon War and is now extinct. This one might be the only one left in the human world."

Gawain picked up a green magic stone:

"This is enough."

Soon, Gawain and Lokisi took Senis and a lot of spoils out of the maze. After sealing the entrance casually, they took a few minutes to return to the royal capital of Ars and sent Senis, who was still in a coma, to Notos's house.

The Notos home of Paul Notos Greyrat.

Chapter 70 Curse

Chapter 70 Curse

Paul cried with joy when he saw Senice.

Even though Gawain told him that Senice had indeed been captured as the heart of the labyrinth and was very likely to have lost her memory, he just held Gawain's hand and kept thanking him.

Gawain used his influence to summon the most authoritative doctors in the capital to examine Senis, and even invited an archbishop of the Miris Church who was able to use holy-level healing magic and superior detoxification magic.

All the test results showed that Senice was healthy.

After Gawain and Lokisi returned the luggage to New Roa, they returned to Ars again, waiting for Senis to wake up and confirm her condition. Three hours after Senis left the maze, she woke up, but had no reaction to her family in front of her, her eyes were empty, as if she had not only lost her memory, but had simply become stupid.

Gawain sighed:

"As expected, it's still like that. The next step is to determine whether Aunt Senes has been cursed and whether she can recover."

Paul forced a smile.

"That's good enough. Let me, as your husband, figure out a solution to Senise's problem."

Hearing this, Lilia supported him worriedly:

"master..."

Aisha held Senes's mother's hand, sighed softly, and then burst into tears like a child:

"No! Aisha, please don't! Brother Gawain, please save Mom! Brother Gawain is so powerful... there must be a way, right? Wuuuu! Sister Noren and Brother Rudy will definitely be super sad to see Mom like this! Wuuuu, Aisha, please don't do this!"

Lilia quickly hugged her daughter:

"Aisha! Don't be willful!"

Paul, dressed in the attire of a high-ranking noble, was stunned for a moment before suddenly kneeling on the ground. He lowered his head.

"Gawain, please help Senesh again, help us. I, the shameless one, will bear all the costs alone, and you will have all the power at your disposal."

Gao Wen wasn't the type to laugh out loud during Aisha's performance. He just considerately stood in front of the little teacher who was about to burst out laughing, and said helplessly:

"You don't have to say that. I would do it too. Hurry up and get up. Fortunately, Rudy and Noren are not here, otherwise my reputation would be ruined."

Maori Paul was helped up by the famous detective Aisha.

Gawain ordered:

"Let's give Auntie Senesi something easy to digest first. Luo Qixi and I will take her to the Holy Kingdom of Milis for treatment. We'll also tell Norn and Auntie Senesi's family about this."

Of course everyone has no objection.

Gawain and Lokisi had lunch and briefly dealt with the accumulated documents. In the afternoon, they loaded the quiet and motionless Senis into a single transport cabin and flew with her to the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Arrived in Milithion.

Thinking that it would be better to get treatment first, Gawain applied to visit the Pope, who quickly agreed and invited Gawain and Lukes to a side hall.

There was nothing set up here. The Pope, who seemed to have no fear for his life, met with Gawain alone. He was wearing a priest's robe embroidered with gold thread, a triple crown on his head, and a long white beard, looking very kind.

Gao Wen did not exchange pleasantries with him, but directly stated his request in full.

The Pope nodded:

"This matter should be recorded in the church, but I don't know much about it. Anyway, I will do my best to help."

The Pope summoned his knight guard and asked them to summon several scholars and send people to the great library to look for relevant treatment cases.

After making the arrangements, the Pope continued:

"Would it be convenient for me to examine her now? Even though it's highly unlikely to be effective, I can still try some imperial-level healing and detoxification magic."

Gawain nodded.

Lux seemed very nervous and quickly stood up, begging:

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

After briefly examining Senis's head, the Pope continued to chant the imperial-level healing and detoxification magics in shortened order. Obviously, although he didn't think that leaking the chants would be stolen, he still kept it a secret without making a sound.

Gao Wen put his hands behind his back, tried it out briefly, and finally learned it.

After finishing the inspection, the Pope stood up and explained:

"There's an unknown magical power inside Miss Senice Greyrat's head. None of the magic I've used has any effect on it. It's most likely a curse, and the Church has no safe way to remove it."

The Church that has the deepest understanding of the nature of the Son of God or the Mantra certainly has less secure methods.

Gawain frowned slightly.

Perhaps because he didn't realize that even though he was as fast as he could, he still couldn't prevent Senis from being cursed, he asked:

“Can you determine whether the effect is good or not?”

If you receive a positive curse, you will become the Son of God. It is not a bad thing to encounter such a situation. What is worrying is that Senis has been transformed into a curse.

The answer is:

"Not at the moment."

He felt helpless but could only accept it. After chatting for a while, Gawain told him that Senis was now the head lady of the Notos family. Although it didn't make much difference to him, it might be of some positive help to Noren. But he might take Noren away later.

The people called by the Pope arrived one after another, and after hearing about Senis's situation, they all contributed what they could.

A scholar and subsequent books confirmed several points:

Senis was indeed being transformed into a host of cursed power, and it was impossible to eliminate it safely.

It's not necessarily that Senes has lost her mind; it's even possible that she has regained her memory, as there have been examples of this in the past.

One bishop proposed:

"Your Majesty, how about asking the Son of God for help?"
