Chapter 61: Demon May Cry (3)
~Rou POV~
Great…
Oh, all the people or rather creatures I have the displeasure of meeting it had to be one from Tartarus leader with me rolling my eyes at the demon, "Sure. Whatever you say to keep your ideals intact annoying little bug in a jar."
Mard didn't seem to like my comment about that at me sending a nasty glare my way but returned with his own bite, "You call us inferior? Ha! Now that's a laugh coming from you bug. Your puny magic is nothing compared to us demons."
Rolling my eyes at that I countered with my own remark annoyed by the guy's attitude of his demonist supremacy ideals, "Oh really? That's a lot of talks from a husk in a jar needing our emotions to fuel your Curse Energy for your Curses. Real trash talk homunculus."
Mard didn't seem dissuaded from my terms merely having the arrogant expression plastered on his dumb face, "Interesting… you seem to know a lot about us Demons young man. Homunculus… quite the term used here insect."
Shrugging at his response it was the correct term for me to call them from an Alchemist's standpoint considering the mere fact that they were artificially created through magic.
Still, though I didn't expect the captured Miners to be caught by a demon though.
Guess that means Mard is experimenting on humans creating them into demons must still be a process in the making.
Going over to the Communication Lacrima I merely voiced my question to the demon with clear disdain in my voice, "I'm willing to assume that the capture human miners your minion took to your base won't be returned back?"
Mard merely grinned happily at my question causing me to scoff knowing the answer being he won't give or tell, about the captured Miners.
Just my luck.
Holding my hand tightly I began to break the communication Lacrima with Mard Geer interested in me as I destroy it ignoring his interest, "I'll be sure to keep a close eye on you next time insect—"
*CREAK*
Breaking the dumb thing I go over to Mavis as she starts to wake up rubbing her eyes and smelling the scent of burnt demon as his blood literally boiled it alive, "Ugh… Yuri, I thought I told you don't bring dead burnt smell – what the heck?!"
Her eyes widen seeing the unconscious demon with clear surprise on her face before finally pouting at the scene whining, "I missed the action didn't I again?"
Laughing a bit nervously I replied to her with a nod in agreement of the predicament, "Haha… yeah… you kind of did. Didn't expect to deal with a demon nor its curses, to be honest."
But then I turn serious as I explained to Mavis what happened to the Miners captured as she frowns at the loss of life along with me taking away the demon's Curse Origin in my hand as she thinks for a bit.
She bites her thumbnail thinking before finally responding about the situation that occurred here, "We need to notify the Miner Min about this. And get the Magic Council involve that a demon was the cause of the disappearance of the Miners here."
Yup.
Like that, we dragged the demon body of Amon with us seeing he won't be able to harm anyone with his Curse ever again and I need to continue exploring the mines here for that Dragon Cry staff.
/////
Exiting outside the cavern we both brought along the tied-up, demon locking it in place letting the Magic Council do something about it.
As we did so we see some members of the Rune Knights talking to the Miners Min spotted us with a smile and then concerned with the creature we brought, "Ah! Rou and Mavis, I see you came – the fuck is that?!"
Gazing at the demon's body unconscious the Rune Knights swallowed their spit as Mavis lifted it up using Telekinesis Spell as she explains to the group what happened in detail.
Everyone was soon saddened about the events as we let the Rune Knights capture the demon in place one of the members soon pierced its head with his sword and another effectively beheaded it as when the process was done turned into smoke or particles whatever.
Whatever the case is I guess demons don't get the special treatment being treated as people that's mildly concerning but not like I could do much about it right now.
Then one of the Rune Knights hands us the rewarded Jewels for completing the Job thanking us for capturing the demon to be killed off immediately as we took the money.
Going over to Min he sighs defeated and sadden by today's events that occurred, "Sigh… those bloke's families aren't gonna like what happened here today… but thanks for helping avenge them, mate."
Patting the buffy man in understanding for the loss that occurred today it was a tragedy that it happened and hopefully, the people that the demon took would smile knowing the demon would be gone…
But I know better than demon is merely going to come back again so long as their Hell's Core exists but highly doubtful Mard Geer would do anything to draw attention to himself right now with this incident being known.
Then again, I have no idea what that psychopath's thinking pattern is about so I could only hope he stops… That demon only concerns with guarding E.N.D.'s book to the very end but till then he would be remaining inactive for the time being.
Guess I got to figure out a way to kill demons in one shot soon enough to hunt those bastards down. And with them having a flying demon base I'm considering just nuking it with heavy artillery or transmuting their base into rice pudding.
Like that, we continued our original objective instead of being sidetracked by the request seeing we have enough Jewels now.
Like that, we waved goodbye to the Rune Knights and Miners as Mavis and I got back to investigating the cavern for the magic artifact.
/////
"Whoa!"
Mavis yells out loud when we finally reached deeper inside the mines with Min letting us enter inside to search deeper for a job well done.
When we did so we finally stumbled upon a Dragon Graveyard in the mountains kept hidden all this time undiscovered and intact with no signs of any life tampering with the bones.
I had to create a pathway along with an entrance as we passed through, surrounded by the bones of Dragons, littered around the area which describes a graveyard for Dragons.
Mavis and I wander around seeing the Dragon Bones as she places her hand on some of the Dragon Bones in awe, "Amazing… to think there would be so many Dragon Skeletons around here… one has to wonder if something got them…"
Amazing is an understatement but sad since they died to Acnologia but then again though these ones are the kind that have no issue killing off a human little girl wanting to eat her like an animal.
Touching one of the ribs of the dragon skeleton I can still sense their magic power in their bone marrow to the very cells within them.
*Zzzz*
Smirking at this I used some deconstruction Alchemy to take some portions of them to use as test experiments.
Actually…
Couldn't one say if I used a Personality Enchantment on them would I get a plethora of Dragon Soldiers obedient to me would be a pretty impressive feat.
I mean it would be a cool idea to have some dragonoids helping us or keep a pet dragon.
Thoughts to consider.
*Zzzz*
Using Fairy Alchemy to create some Spider Golems I gave them a direct order as Mavis observes my actions, "Alright little guys go ahead and search for any Dragon Bones or samples around the cave. Take some portion and return here."
With my command, they all left and do as I say since it would take too long personally to go and collect the bone samples one by one.
Mavis comes by my side as she ponders on my compass in a curious tone in her voice, "Say Rou are these Dragon Bones the magic artifact your compass picked up?"
Shaking my head seeing that the compass is still directing at the north of here as my head follows the deeper caverns of the graveyard cave, "Nope. Seems like the magic artifact is directing further ahead of here. That means the magic tool must be deeper inside here. Ready to seek it out?"
Mavis nodded happily as we both go forward deeper inside the Dragon Graveyard seeing more Dragon Skeletons lying around making me a bit nervous about how strong these creatures died, to only one.
Really puts a perspective on how strong Acnologia really was to them.
Mavis even seems unnerve about how many Dragon Skeletons are all around here making me ponder just how big the battle is or how one-sided the fight of the battle was with Acnologia as the enemy.
As we go more inside –
!!!
My eyes widen as did Mavis as we found ourselves in awe with Mavis voicing out her point at the magic tool in front of us, "Okay… so that's some serious magic power in that tool… is the Magic Tool sucking in the power of the dead dragons?!"
Yup.
Now that's the Magic Tool I'm searching for right there.
The item I'm searching for after a long period of time passes by.
The Dragon Cry.
Dragon Cry is a Magic artifact powered by the deceased Dragons that Acnologia killed.
Dragon Cry, after soaking up the rage and anger of the deceased Dragons, appears as a blue and red crooked staff with a scaly design reminiscent of a Dragon. Its original form was a red ribbon that was in the possession of Sonya, which she used to tie her hair as a child.
100 years ago, Dragon Cry, originally being the ribbon that tied Sonya's hair, was empowered by the emotions of the deceased Dragons Acnologia had murdered during the Dragon King Festival.
All of the power sealed inside is said to be the equivalent of ten to dozens of Etherion blasts, thus having the power to destroy an entire nation if released, filtered as magic circles that rain down energy beams that reach as far as the whole continent of Ishgar thus desolating it.
The number of magic circles is, insurmountable, being that they were noticeably located all across the country of Fiore. The Dragon Cry's user can be vaporized if they lack the power to use it, as was the case with Zash Caine.
The power can also replenish the health and body of a weakened Dragon, while also being noted that if a Dragon who used the Dragon Soul Technique on a regular human the power of Dragon Cry can release the Dragon from the container body, it can then be used to further empower the Dragon, causing their bodies' coloration to change.
Smirking at this using Telekinesis Magic taking it as it absorbed the Magic Power of the multiple Dragons' emotions in my hand and storing it away in my Requip pocket dimension I talked to Mavis getting her attention, "And with that, it seems like we got what we came here for Mavis. Although we could collect some more samples and view the graveyard a bit more?"
She laughed at that but agreed to search this graveyard a bit more before we finally have enough time to go back to the guild.
Wonder what kind of adventures await…
And most importantly…
Taking out the Curse Origin I got from the demon how could humans use Curse Energy to make a new form of the power system in Earthland possible?
Ah…
My research mind is trembling again. One thing at a time Rou one step towards science at a time.

A/N: Sorry for the late update felt too tired to upload on time I apologize for that but also side note. Should the next GAMER Fic I make have Dungeon Keys like Solo Leveling or not?
I'm planning to have Pokemon in the Fairy Tail-GAMER PATH as allies for the MC to collect in the Dungeon Keys since magic creatures work well in Fairy Tail or not?
