Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Livestream (7)
As Cobra fell unconscious, the Oración Seis assault officially came to an end.
Shortly afterward, the magic airship ascended into the sky, carrying the Allied Forces toward the Oración Seis headquarters. Cobra, along with the captured members Angel and Racer, was brought on board as a prisoner. The three were placed in a corner on the deck, guarded by Meredy.
Racer couldn't help but glance at his companions. Angel, however, looked completely at ease, cradling a cup of hot tea as she quietly played mahjong by herself, seemingly unfazed by her status as a prisoner.
"You still have the mood to play games?"
"What else am I supposed to do?"
Racer was speechless. Angel's treatment as a prisoner seemed much better than his—she hadn't even had her ring confiscated and was drinking tea comfortably.
Meanwhile, Jenny was still enthusiastically live-streaming, proudly introducing the magic airship they were on.
"This, everyone, is the famous Blue Pegasus Magic Bomber, Christina!"
"Huh? Someone asked if it had just been destroyed?" Jenny seemed puzzled as she read the chat. "Not sure myself, but I think Nate might know."
She paused, then chuckled. "Now we're heading to the Oración Seis base to take down the remaining three members!"
"With a little time before we arrive, let me introduce the Allied Forces fighters." Jenny then dashed over to Ichiya.
"Here he is~~ this is Blue Pegasus's strongest mage, the one and only Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki! He's also the leader of our guild's task force, Trimens."
"Ichiya, anything you'd like to say to your audience?"
As soon as the camera focused on him, Ichiya adjusted his white suit and struck a charming pose, addressing his audience in his signature smooth voice. "Ichiya, at your service, always here just for you, men!"
Jenny blinked, momentarily at a loss. Despite being in the same guild, sometimes even she struggled to handle Ichiya's self-confidence.
The chat exploded:
[Jenny, can you show us someone else?]
[Ahhh, my eyes! My eyes!]
[If I close my eyes, the voice isn't so bad… ONLY the voice!]
[Where's Nate? I want to see Nate!]
Reading the chat, Jenny rolled her eyes and was about to mention the other "Blue Pegasus hotties" when Ichiya, catching sight of the comments, grinned. "After our recent victory over two more of the Oración Seis, we're now heading toward the remaining members. Be sure to watch for my heroic moves in battle, men~"
Jenny inwardly sighed; she knew it was Nate who had defeated them, but apparently, Ichiya had forgotten the entire sequence of events after being knocked out by Racer.
Elsewhere on the ship, Natsu was bouncing around, full of excitement. "Wendy, your magic really worked—I'm not seasick anymore! Hahaha!"
"That's great…" Wendy replied with a wobbly smile, barely able to stand from her own motion sickness.
"Why can't healing magic work on the caster?" Happy asked.
"Why would it?" Carla scoffed. "Does your Natsu eat his own fire?"
"No," Happy replied instantly.
"Exactly, and the same principle applies to Wendy's magic."
At that moment, Nate approached Wendy, gently patting her on the head in encouragement. "Hang in there; we'll be there soon."
"Nate…," Wendy mumbled, her eyes nearly spinning in dizziness.
Just don't throw up, Nate thought, quickly holding her steady.
As Wendy found herself leaning on him for support, she seemed to feel a bit better. Nate then opened his Magic Net interface, checking the livestream stats.
[Current Viewers: 32,827]
That was about 90% of the entire user base. Nate nodded in satisfaction, feeling he was close to his target of 98.9%.
Suddenly, from the northeast, a surge of ominous magic power rose into the sky.
"Is that… could it be Nirvana?" Hibiki, who was piloting the ship, looked shocked.
The dark energy had a sinister feel, sending chills down the spine of anyone who sensed it.
"Nirvana?"
Nate raised an eyebrow, just as a private message notification popped up. It was from his alt account, which he opened to see:
Leader: "The object has been located, Voldemort!"
Leader: "I assume you're watching the stream?"
Leader: "Soon, the world of light will fall. Sit back and enjoy the show!"
Voldemort: "I just did a fortune reading for you—you're in for some trouble."
The idea of Nirvana, a powerful magic that could invert good and evil, intrigued Nate. "Hibiki, head toward the direction at ten o'clock."
"Understood, Nate!"
With that, Hibiki adjusted Christina's course. The magic airship raced toward the dark light rising on the horizon, quickly covering the distance through its direct path in the air.
Before long, the team reached the source of the sinister energy and gathered on the deck to look below.
"Ultear?" Jenny blinked in surprise, thinking she saw double. "Wait… there are two of her?"
That's her mother, Nate thought, amused. Though the resemblance was striking, anyone who knew them both well enough could tell that Ur was a bit more mature. Then again, confusion was understandable for those unfamiliar with the two.
"They're fighting the Oración Seis." Hibiki's expression grew serious as Jenny quickly adjusted her camera, broadcasting the scene below.
"Looks like we have a front-row seat!"
Hoteye raised his hand and activated the magic of 'Liquid Ground,' his eyes glowing with a golden light.
Instantly, the earth began to soften, becoming pliable like sand, bending under his command.
However, Ultear merely extended her hand toward the enchanted sand, summoning a grayish-silver magic circle that instantly froze the shifting ground, shattering it in an instant.
"Out of my way!" Ultear said coldly. "Your magic is meaningless before my Arc of Time."
Nearby, Ur wielded her 'Sode no Shirayuki' blade as she faced Midnight, her manner noticeably gentler than her daughter's.
"Could you step aside?" she asked politely, "I have some unfinished business with your leader."
Midnight stood still, his eyes fixed on her. "You want to see my father? He's in the process of unsealing Nirvana and can't be interrupted. I'll be your opponent instead."
With a taunting smirk, he beckoned her forward.
In response, Ur unsheathed Sode no Shirayuki—a gift from Nate she hadn't yet used. Testing it on Midnight before confronting Brain seemed appropriate.
"You're Brain's son?" she asked, her face darkening at the thought. "He should never have been allowed to have a child."
Filled with rage over how Brain had deceived her, Ur whispered the magic's release phrase, "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki."
At first, the sword appeared ordinary. But as it absorbed Ur's magic power, it began to emit a brilliant white glow, transforming into a snow-white blade with a long, flowing ribbon attached to the hilt.
'So cold…'
Midnight shivered, surprised to find a thin layer of frost forming on his skin, even from a distance.
…
Up in the air, Jenny live-streamed the intense battle to thousands of viewers.
[Such a beautiful sword!]
[Who is that woman?]
[It's Ur!!!]
Some viewers recognized Ur, and Nate noticed a familiar name in the comments. 'It has to be Gray,' he thought with a smile.
