Chapter 59: Demon May Cry (1)
~Rou POV~
"So… were collecting an ancient Magic Tool this time?"
"Yup!"
Currently in the morning after getting some breakfast I decided to get on searching for some Magic tools nearby that I personalize as ancient and powerful.
And my Magic Compass detected it like it was nothing pointing the both of us towards the direction of where the mountain is at with Mavis following in tow.
Ah…
I miss the short adventures we have wandering toward the unknown.
It's the small things like these that make life worth living.
Feeling the brush of the wind passing my hair and the follicles tying them into my skin muscle, the rush of nature pushing against our bodies by the sensation of the wind, and the scent of the honey that flies along with the air.
Ah…
It really does take me to want to create a small picnic for the day to truly enjoy the gift that is life.
We both decided to have a small adventure like usual searching for powerful Magic tools for research purposes hence the reason why were on the trip of searching for magic tools in the west of here from Crocus.
Hopefully enough this would be a more daunting task than me infiltrating the Kingdom Castle or worse explaining my actions.
I'm so not in the mood to explain to the people in the past my reasons nor do I want big-headed people to think they can shake us down for information we already gave and demand more from us.
Pure human greed at its finest if they try.
*Wack*
*THUD*
*Wack*
*THUD*
Now those are sounds I happen to be quite familiar with along with the heavy scent of minerals and metals from my time helping Miner Guilds.
Walking towards the forest side to the mountain we both saw a Miner Guild Member mining a nearby cavern as I waved my hands at them, "Hello! You, folks, wouldn't happen to be mining around these parts are you!!"
One of the Miners looked up towards us blinking as his bulky rough beard along holding his pickax replying, "Huh? Yeah, we are! You wouldn't happen to be some Wizards here to help from the post request would you!"
Huh?
We both looked at each other before looking at the Miner as Mavis replies for us, "Uh… no, actually. We happen to be searching for a Magic Tool my friend here is looking for."
The same person began to hum before introducing himself to us, "Really huh? The names Stoner Min. But call me Min and you two?"
Smirking at that I began to introduce ourselves to the Miner named Min with a proud tone doing a small bow, "Sure. The names are Rou Ake and my lover Mavis Vermillion. Both members of Fairy Tail happen to travel to the Capital sightseeing before treasure-hunting rare magic tools. A pleasure to meet you, Min."
Min looked at us up and down before raising an eyebrow towards us shrugging asking us for a request, "Really eh? Fairy Tail Wizards… could be worst. You wouldn't happen to be willing to take our request, would you?"
Could use some Jewels plus I'm a fan of the Miner Guild since they provide me with the tools and resources of minerals looking around.
Mavis agreed as she voiced our request to join the mission in a chipper tone happily, "Sure! Fairy Tail Wizards don't back down from a request! Will do everything within our power to help out."
Seeing our chipper minds made Min smile at our antics before simply sighing out loud about the job that needed to be done, "Sigh… very well then. Essentially there's some kind of Magical Beast deep inside taking our men. We don't know what's going so we sent a request for people to investigate inside but none answered."
Looking between the both of us Mavis and I pondered what it could be before we decided to go ahead and ask for the location, "Alright. What's the location of this Magical Beast? Will take it down fast."
Min nodded as he gestured for us to the location as we thanked the Miner Guild Member guiding us to a cavern…
/////
We waved back towards Min as we located the cavern with dimly light Lacrima acting as lanterns as Mavis tugs on my clothing, "The good old fashion cavern huh? You think we might stumble upon a rolling trap that Warrod and Yuri talked about?"
Shrugging at this I replied honestly as we head straight for literal danger, "No idea. But with any luck probably wanting to kill us."
Mavis shrugs at this Requiping shoes for the occasion responding to me, "Pretty much. Usually, some kind of creature would. Now let's get going!!"
Hahaha…
Yeah, but said creature would die quickly.
Now then…
*Zzzzz*
Walking inside I place my hand as my Alchemy began transmuting the area forming a proper tunnel as I have my Transmuted short sword at the ready against the freak we might come across.
Although what Miner Min said left me to question who would go to bother capturing humans.
Magical Beast usually feast on their prey or use them as ingredients or hosts for their magic the ones I read in the encyclopedia always capture and dissect them to see what makes them tick.
Self-experimentation along with proper biological discovery and research comes a long way in discovering their natural body features and abilities of Magic. And as the saying goes knowledge is power.
But I wonder what kind of creature we might meet under the deep cavern here.
As they say, curiosity killed the cat, but this kitty has nine lives to spare.

~Third POV~
"MMHHH!!!!"
"NO!!!!"
"STOP!!!"
*Woosh*
*THUD*
*THUD*
*THUD*
One swift from his hand and all the captured Miners have been put into a deep trance of sleep as the creature in question soon identifies itself under the rays of the glowing minerals of the area.
The creature has an original human appearance and resembled a light-skinned male with messy black hair and dark eyes that featured markings coming down from those eyes. When on duty, he is seen wearing black form-fitting armor with a helmet that featured horns and small wings. He also featured spikes on his arms and a cape.
But in its demon form, he grew far taller while still retaining his human appearance. His skin most being blue, turquoise, pale white, and least of all red with legs covered in black fur and a long thin tail with a spiked spade on the end.
The demon has yellow eyes with black pupils thin fangs in his mouth and large bat-like wings in place of his ears with a bright red crest in the middle, he also had a pair of antennae connecting to the top of his head.
Placing his hand down as he activated the Lacrima showing a shadowy figure before the demon kneel down as a sign of respect, "Underworld King I have brought more subjects to be demonized as you requested."
The one in the shadowy figure smiled contently soon revealing a tall, lean, and has the appearance of a young man. The man has dark purple hair that is long and wavy, reaching his shoulders even whilst the majority is tied up in a very large ponytail. Additionally, his messy bangs all but obscure his dark, slanted eyes.
The demon that he was talking about is Mard Geer Tartaros an Etherious and founder of the Dark Guild Tartaros. He is also known as the Underworld King and the Definitive Demon, having placed himself in charge of the guild in E.N.D.'s absence.
Replying back as a small portal opens up with another demon taking the Miners inside Mard Geer replies back contently with a smirk, "Very good Amon. Keep up collecting insects for me to experiment on. We will need more members when E.N.D. finally revives. He will be pleased with the increased number of Etherious in Hell's Core. And do try to collect a Wizard or too while you're at it. These insects do tend to break fast."
Amon only nodded as the communications between the two ended looking at Communication Lacrima sniffed the air of the cavern tunnels with their heightened senses detecting a new scent inside the mine.
Grinning wickedly Amon detected the scent of two humans expressing his feral smile, "Good… the Underworld King would surely get his wish."
*THUD*
*THUD*
Feeling the sensation of shaking happening around the cavern Amon was alerted and began to crawl griping the stone with his nail claws seeing everything began to move around changing everything.
*Zzzzz*
Viewing blue sparks flowing through as he held the Communication Lacrima around his mouth biting it enough not to fall seeing the scenery change completely.
The whole cavern soon changed into a single man-made tunnel with Lacrima Lights hanging around hearing the sounds of two people coming from a man, "See? This is how we should get things done! I mean now we have a clearer made path and easy passageway deep inside the mountain Mavis."
Amon next listens to the sound named Mavis pouting at the named Rou's actions transmuting the portion of the Mines, "Yeah… but it kind of kills the sense of adventure and thrill!! Besides that, we need to look for the Magical Beast taking the Miners."
Amon quickly takes small movements to get close to the two to unleash his curse.
Curses are the main form of combat utilized by Demons whilst similar to Magic in several regards, Curses are fouler in nature a notion supported by the fact that Curses are run off of negative emotions and are superior in the regard that they, and those who utilize them, are unaffected by Magic-canceling/nullifying objects, also, like Magic, Curses come in a wide variety.
Walking towards the pathway created Amon was nearly about to use his Curse Endless Dreams.
Endless Dreams allows the Curse User granted him the ability to force anyone into a deep sleep and control their dreams to a degree giving the target joyful or hellish nightmares.
The use of his Curse is nearly impossible to break as it confuses the target to tell the difference from reality, thus rapidly seducing them to embrace the utopian or nightmare visions that lay before them while in reality leaving Amon to prey upon them.
The activation of his curse is activated on his scent when his target gets close to him. As such Rou and Mavis are within his range to be affected.
The more they step near him Rou suddenly stopped sniffing the air as his eyes dart around with Mavis getting curious and on guard, "Rou? Did you detect –"
*Thud*
*Thud*
Before Mavis could continue further the two suddenly went into a forceful slumber by Amon arrogantly coming out from the darkness hiding him, "Tch. The human almost spotted me from the sounds. Too careful that one but regardless they should be asleep for now."
