64.9% Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos / Chapter 1530: Surprises Abound

Chương 1530: Surprises Abound

Seeing his current Status, Vahn couldn't help smile due to the excitement that was welling up inside his chest. He had always assumed that his training with Eva would pay off when he finally visited her Record, but, seeing it for himself, he couldn't help feeling vindicated. With these Skills and Magic, it wouldn't really matter too much if he was weaker than others in his base state, as, when he powered up and transformed, there would be very few people that could match him.

Upon first awakening in the Akamatsuverse, Vahn had been surprised to sense so many people with a stronger aura than him, but, now that he knew where he was at, it wasn't too shocking. The Hellas people had powerful bodies and strong magical power by default. They also had an average lifespan between 300~500, depending on their mastery and control over Magic. Unfortunately, despite a very high Base Power, their aptitude for external magic, much like his own, was exceptionally limited. This forced them to rely on Magic that enhanced their body, but, more than anything else, they relied on various technological advancements to rival their foes.

If it came down to a fight using raw physical prowess and martial techniques, Vahn had an absolute advantage against most people. He might have lost his ridiculously overpowered [Laplace's Key], but it wasn't as if all his knowledge and experience faded away. He had accumulated so much experience fighting against true masters in their fields of expertise, elevating him to a level where his skill, alone, would allow him to fight much stronger opponents. When you included things like his Source Energy and [Magia Erebea], one of the most powerful abilities in the entire Akamatsuverse, it wasn't much of an exaggeration to say he was already S-Rank.

Now that he had gotten his bearings, Vahn's excitement for the Akamatsuverse had increased quite a bit. With a few months of training, he would be able to move around with impunity, as, despite the presence of a few truly monstrous individuals, the average power level for 'skilled' foes shouldn't be more than 500. This could be modified with various spells, but, considering his own were S-Rank or higher, that wouldn't matter too much. He was also one of only seven Archmages that should exist in the current Timeline, meaning only people on the level of Eva, Jack Rakan, and Filius Zect should be a match for him...

Considering his current location, Vahn was anticipating his meeting with the man who even Eva had called 'a living cheat character'. He likely wasn't nearly as strong now as he would be after the Great War, but, based on what Eva had said, Jack was a monster that could improve exponentially when he encountered strong opponents. He was known by titles such as the Ultimate Hard Worker, and, after earning his freedom in the Coliseum, he even became the undisputed King of Mercenaries, Jack of the Thousand Blades.

At this point in time, Jack would have already claimed his most noteworthy titles, and, though Vahn wasn't able to sense him, he knew the man had close ties to the Imperial Family. He was one of the few people who had ever won his freedom through the hundred-bout gambit, and, for a variety of reasons, was popular with the First and Third Imperial Princesses. The Third even looked up to him as an older brother, so, after arriving in the former's room, Vahn was expecting Jack to pay him a visit at some point...

Feeling his draconic blood boil in excitement, Vahn had to forcibly calm himself down as the ground around him had started to tremble. He didn't have perfect control over this new body of his, so, for the time being, he needed to remain calm and focus. There was also a matter of extreme importance that required his attention, so, after regulating his breathing, aided by the Mantra of Eternity, he let his consciousness slowly sink into his 'Soul Realm'. This was a similar process to sinking his mind into a [Space-Time Orb], but, instead of a physical object, he was attempting to enter his own Realm...

---

Before he even realized it had happened, Vahn found himself in an endless expanse of space. Unlike normal space, however, the sky was infused with an omnipresent rainbow hue, something that would only be discernible to him. This was a 'very' good sign, but, before he could even get his bearings to try and find Gaia, a massive 'meteor' came hurtling toward him. By instinct, he nearly 'obliterated' it from existence, but, after seeing what the object was, his mind drew a blank, allowing two fiery feet to smash into his face, accompanied by a raspy yet high-pitched, "Baaaaaakaaaaaaaa~!"

Though it did absolutely no damage, the figure continued to bicycle kick Vahn's face over and over as he just stood there trying to make sense of the current situation. He didn't know where this little girl had come from, but, seeing her scale-covered legs, her long, whip-like tail, and the two curved horns poking out from the sides of her head, he almost assumed she was his daughter. She even had aquamarine eyes and pointed ears, and, though her feet, tail, and horns were red hot with flames, it was very apparent this was 'normal' for her...

Seeing that her attacks were having no effect, even after a three-thousand hit combo, the petite girl seemed highly dissatisfied. Her tomboyish face formed into an expressive pout, tears building in the corner of her eyes as she asked, "Why did you leave me...? You said...we would always be together..."

Though he had made similar promises with quite a few people, Vahn was pretty sure he had figured out the girl's identity after analyzing the structure of her flames. This didn't really make much sense, however, causing him to tentatively asked, "Laevateinn...?"

As if her previous expression had been a facade, the petite girl absolutely beamed when she heard Vahn's words. Then, with a startling amount of strength, she pounced on him, squeezing his body hard enough that, if he had breakable bones, they undoubtedly would have shattered. Her horn was also stabbing him in the chest due to her height only being around 118cm, but, as she seemed to be genuinely happy, Vahn didn't mind it. Instead, he briefly flicked his eyes to his Inventory, confirming all twenty-four of his Laevateinn series blades were still inside...

By process of elimination, Vahn could only draw the conclusion that the petite girl, appearing to be around ten years old, was his Zanpakutou Spirit. He had been unable to communicate with her in the past, but, now that they were 'inside' of his Soul, it wasn't too surprising that she could manifest as a physical spirit. Rather, he felt like an idiot for not trying this method in the past, causing a dry laugh to escape his throat as he gently stroked the girl's dark-brown hair...

---

After coaxing 'Laev-tan' into calming down, Vahn was able to confirm that she was, indeed, his Zanpakuto Spirit. Due to her unique connection to his Soul, she was able to move around inside his Soul Realm, even when Time had yet to flow. This was due to her consciousness experiencing things like Time at the same rate as his conscious mind, basically making her an existence outside of Time within his Realm...

Though existence outside of time was typically attributed to beings at Tier 5, or higher, Vahn wasn't too surprised by Laev-tan's capabilities. Within his own Realm, he could even spontaneously create dead planets and play with them like marbles if he really wanted to. Until he wanted it to exist, even things like Time would not have any effect inside his own Realm. Thus, as an extension of himself, it was only natural that Laev-tan was able to move around with impunity. The real question was, how did his Zanpakutou turn into a 'Loli Dragon' that seemed to have stolen the name of his most prized sword collection?

Since there was no harm in asking directly, Vahn went ahead and did so, earning a mischievous grin from Laev-tan as she answered, "Though you couldn't hear me, I was always watching~! I know you created a bunch of brothers and sisters before forging me! I also knew that you were sad about not being able to use them anymore, so I became like this~!!"

At the end of her exclamation, Laev-tan turned into a plume of brackish-crimson flames, her body transforming from that of a petite young dragonling to a claymore that was nearly 2m in length. It had a scorched blade forged from a blackened metal that was filled with cracks, much like his very first Laevateinn. The biggest difference was, instead of a draconic visage that created a cross-guard, Laev-tan's guard had two curved horns, and, though others might not see it that way, the draconic visage seemed somewhat 'cute' in comparison to his previous creations...

Before he even realized what he was doing, Vahn grabbed Laev-tan's handle, earning a surprisingly girlish squeal in response. Her normal voice was somewhat husky, almost like she was pretending to be a boy, but her voice while transformed was almost sonorous. It reminded him of the pleasant hum she would emit whenever he was polishing her blade, an action that, in hindsight, now seemed a little awkward...

Ignoring the peculiar feeling in his gut, Vahn reminded himself that Laev-tan was just a sword, one that required careful and continued maintenance. He couldn't just stop taking care of her now that she had finally awakened, so, rather than let it bother him, he just began swinging her around with a smile on his face. She also seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit, releasing a gleeful laugh as massive plumes of crimson flames were released from her blade's edge.

Though it was hard to be certain, as he had nigh-absolute power within his Realm, Vahn noticed that Laev-tan gave him monstrous control over a unique kind of flame. It wasn't actually that hot, burning around 1600 degrees, but, unlike normal flames, it had a 'solid' quality similar to magma. It also had a brackish quality to it, and, after creating a pillar of Adamantine, Vahn confirmed his suspicions as he watched Laev-tan's flames rapidly eat through the dense metal.

Similar to the original Laevateinn, Laev-tan seemed to have flames that burned persistently, even in a vacuum. They also possessed a rather ridiculous corrosive property, eating through virtually any kind of material relatively quickly. It seemed to make use of an amalgamation of Destruction, and, of all things, Space Laws. He was able to sense the viscous flames collapsing the space around the point of contact, forcibly separating the bonds between molecules so that they were easier to 'digest' for the Destruction energy...

Unable to contain his excitement, Vahn joined Laev-tan in her laughter, swinging her through empty space and causing a veritable nebula to form from all the brackish flames she had produced. Since her flames were infused with Space Laws, they could even burn space itself, and, most importantly, tunnel 'through' space. Vahn had always been able to attack virtually anywhere in his domain, so, as a result, Laev-tan seemed to have 'copied' this ability. Now, he could direct her flames through his domain, manipulating them to appear virtually anywhere within his field of control. It was one of the most broken abilities he had ever possessed, bringing a massive grin to his face as he created giant swirls and vortexes of brackish flames...

Vahn had always assumed his Zanpakuto would be powerful, especially under the influence of his Source Energy, but he had never expected Lave-tan to be so 'amazing'. In many ways, she was his ideal weapon, allowing him to completely dominate the area within his own domain. Fire had been one of his principal affinities ever since his time in Danmachi, so, more than any other element, Vahn felt comfortable around flames. There had even been a time when he imagined conquering multiple Records with his original Laevateinn, and, while it wasn't exactly the same, Laev-tan seemed to have inherited that legacy...

---

After several 'hours' of brandishing his new Zanpakuto, Vahn was finally able to calm down, albeit with a massive grin on his face. Then, seemingly forgetting that Laev-tan was a 'Loli Dragon Spirit', he began to trace his fingers along her blade, an appreciative gleam in his eyes. It wasn't until he heard a peal of ticklish laughter that he came back to his senses, feeling slightly flustered despite his advanced age.

Turning Laev-tan upside down, Vahn gingerly released her handle, allowing her to revert back to her half-dragon form. Much to his surprise, she was breathing a little heavily. There was also a thin layer of sweat covering her body, almost as if she had just completed an intense workout.

Seeing how tired Laev-tan appeared, Vahn realized that, for one reason or another, she seemed to have stamina. This wasn't 'normal' for a Zanpakuto, so he had her turn around, displaying her back so that he could place his palm between her shoulders. She was wearing an outfit that consisted of a sporty black top, a pair of black panties, black leggings, black wristguards, and a black bodysuit that covered her exposed abdomen and thighs. It wasn't exactly the most appropriate attire for someone with her appearance, but, considering she was nearly forty, even if Zanpakuto didn't age, Vahn didn't let it bother him. Instead, he focused on the interior of her body, finding it was surprisingly close to an actual True Dragon's...

Since it was a good opportunity, Vahn asked, "What made you choose this form, Laev-tan?"

With the haughtiness you would expect from a True Dragon child, Laev-tan puffed out her virtually non-existent chest, proudly declaring, "Master has always treated girls with cute appearances very well. I wanted to be pampered lots and lots, so I became like this before I even noticed, ahahaha~!"

Hearing the rather spirited response, Vahn released a light chuckle before ruffling Laev-tan's boyish hairstyle. Her hair didn't even extend past her shoulders, and, due to the structure of her eyebrows and how her bangs parted in the front, she could probably give Astolfo a run for his money when it came to crossdressing. Rather, for reasons he couldn't fathom, Vahn could imagine Laev-tan trying to emulate his style of dress, appearing as a rather heroic youth who swung around a giant sword...

Shaking his head, Vahn cleared his thoughts before giving Laev-tan one final pat on the head and saying, "We should go to the others. Now that you have a form like this, I'd like it if you were able to become friends with everyone else. When I return to the outside, I may not be able to carry you with me at all times. I should be able to create a permanent link so you can see what I'm doing though."

Laev-tan seemed upset when he mentioned not being able to carry her around, but, after hearing the latter half of his words, a toothy grin returned to her face. She had the characteristic sharp teeth of most True Dragons, so, when she smiled, it was a combination attack of adorable and terrifying at the same time...

---

Though he mentioned having to 'find' the others, Vahn was able to locate Gaia instantaneously with little more than a thought. This allowed him to find the surprisingly radiant blue orb that represented the heart of his Empire. It was simply floating in the middle of an endless expanse of space, but, due to the fact time was 'frozen', there was still light illuminating more than half of it. Vahn was unable to understand how he could 'see' the planet, as there shouldn't be any light refracting off of it, but, as that wasn't really important, he dutifully descended into the isolated world with a curious glimmer in his eyes...

If a physical being were to move through stalled Time, the amount of destruction simple movements would cause couldn't even be fathomed. Even the act of 'breathing' would be like setting off infinite nuclear warheads once Time began to flow. Fortunately, it was possible to remove yourself from the Time Axis completely, allowing you to freely move through Space without affecting the world around you. This required mastery of both Space and Time, but, here in his own Realm, Vahn could basically ignore such requirements.

Confirming his suspicions, Vahn returned to where he had embraced Gaia, Alaya, and Tiamat, finding all three girls just as frozen as the rest of the world. This was a very peculiar thing to witness, and, for a brief moment, Vahn began to feel a little mischievous. It was a shame he couldn't actually interact with anything, but, if he really wanted to, Vahn could pull quite a number of pranks with this kind of ability. If he were more childish, he could look up the skirts or dresses of his lovers, but, considering he could just as easily ask them to remove them, such antics were ultimately pointless...

After burying his more childish urges in the deepest recesses of his mind, Vahn spent a few minutes thinking before tentatively saying, "I grant the three of you similar Authority to what you possessed in your original Record. You are allowed to move outside the Time Axis, though never with the intent to cause harm to others..."

Since he was basically the 'Administrator' or 'Overseer' of his own Realm, Vahn tried shaping reality according to his intent. Even if he couldn't properly imagine what he wanted, it should be possible to actualize his intentions by simply 'communicating' with the Realm itself. He could even stop and start the flow of time with a thought, so, using words, he should, theoretically, be able to do anything.

Proving his conjecture, Gaia, Alaya, and Tiamat burst into life, all three falling forward due to the fact they had been leaning into his chest moments prior. This had brought a small smile to Vahn's face, at least until all three of them began to phase through physical objects with distant looks in their eyes. They were propelled forward due to their previous moment, their bodies limp, seemingly lifeless...

Feeling a panic well up from within his heart, Vahn quickly recovered the trio with a wave of his hand, bringing them to his side and placing his hands against the chests of Gaia and Alaya. He lacked the ability to comprehend their structure in the Nasuverse, but, now that he was the Overseer, Vahn was hoping he could understand what was wrong with them. Fortunately, before he could even send a single thread into their chests, Alaya's eyelashes flickered almost imperceptibly as her lips began to twitch...

Realizing what was going on, Vahn released a sigh of relief as he continued to hold all three girls in his embrace. From their perspective, they had basically awakened to find themselves without any of the restrictions that previously influenced their actions. With the exception of Tiamat, the true forms weren't the vessels he was holding onto, but the planet itself and the consciousness of humanity. In the simplest terms, they would need to relearn how to control their vessels from scratch...

(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'It's almost like restarting a game you already mastered xD...','The eternal curse is going strong~!','I kinda feel bad for the sisters. Imagine having the same restrictions for billions of years, only to be forced to play by different rules in a single instant xD...')

Chương 1531: Confirmation

Due to his Realm existing in a completely separate Temporal Axis than the standard Time Axis of the Akamatsuverse, Vahn didn't have to worry about anything happening to his body on the outside. In fact, even if he idled in his Realm for eons, no time would pass in 'reality'. If not for the fact they were influenced by two entirely separate sets of Laws, it might have even been possible for him to train in the comfort of his Realm, growing exponentially stronger in the 'real' world. For now, however, that would have to wait until he was at a high enough Soul Tier to rectify the differences in Laws between Records.

Fortunately, even if he couldn't grow stronger, that didn't mean he was unable to accumulate more experience. If his comprehension was high enough, there was nothing stopping him from using the things he learned inside his Realm in the outside world. This made it a perfect training ground to test certain theories, and, with enough time and effort, it was only a matter of time before he could move things from one Record into the world of another. Even if he couldn't find a way on his own, Da Vinci would undoubtedly figure something out. He could now tell her all about The Path and the Records, so, with her unwavering determination, she might even find a solution in a relatively short period of time...

---

With thoughts of how he would explain things to everyone back in Avalon occupying his mind, Vahn spent the better part of seven weeks just helping Gaia, Alaya, and Tiamat familiarize themselves with their vessels. It actually only took Tiamat around five days before she was bouncing around excitedly, but, due to the nature of their existence, it took Gaia and Alaya much longer.

Perhaps as a result of her relatively recent rehabilitation, Gaia managed to move around without too much trouble after around 655 hours. In actuality, no time had passed at all, but, due to his ability to perceive its concept, Vahn could still keep track of the recovery process. Because of this, he knew it had taken Alaya around 1156 hours, even if she 'should' have been able to recover much sooner.

It could be due to the fact they were no longer under the influence of the Root System, but Gaia and Alaya both experienced subtle shifts in their personality. Gaia became even more bubbly than she had been in the past, becoming quick friends with Laev-tan. As for Alaya, she was still an intellectual tsundere, but, compared to her past self, she seemed far more bashful. She even took advantage of the fact he was taking care of her, greatly extending her recovery time just so he would pamper her a little more. It wasn't until Tiamat outright asked if they were allowed to have sex that Alaya made a very sudden and 'miraculous' recovery...

Since his main concern had already been dealt with, Vahn surprised all 'four' girls by answering, "Yes. Now that you are free from the constraints of the Root System, there is no danger in having sex. You can even get pregnant and have a baby, though I would ask that you limit yourselves to just one for the time being."

Like a trio of True Dragons, the pupils of Gaia, Alaya, and Tiamat all became fine lines as the eyed him like a juicy piece of meat. As for Laev-tan, she didn't even seem to think about trying to include herself, seemingly 'knowing' the answer. In fact, she was likely the most 'attuned' person to him right now, her Ego functioning as a second imprint upon his Soul. They were basically a singular entity, so, while she certainly enjoyed being pampered, the thought of having sex or rearing children had never crossed her mind...

---

After removing the 'restriction' on the three carnivorous sisters, Vahn learned just how scary women could be when they were starved for affection. This was true for all three of them, as, despite being the mothers of various Gods and Phantasmal Species, Gaia and Tiamat had never actually had sex. It wasn't something that was really 'necessary' for Tier 5 entities. As a result, they became a little crazy due to their draconic heritage. It wasn't as bad as when Artoria first became a Dragon, but, for nearly as long as it took them to recover, Vahn wasn't 'allowed' to leave the trio unattended.

Surprisingly, the most demure of the three ended up being Alaya. Gaia and Tiamat were relatively honest with their feelings, allowing them to very clearly state what they wanted. Alaya, however, had spent so much time distancing herself from everything, solely focused on her duties, that she wasn't able to properly convey her wants and needs. It almost felt like she was getting revenge for making her wait so long, forcing him to seek her own and behaving much like a disinterested cat until he got her in the mood...

Fortunately, no matter how carnivorous the trio was, Vahn's prowess within his Realm could never be matched. He never tired, and, no matter how powerful they were, it was virtually impossible for them to get any real advantages against him. Even when it felt like Tiamat was going to 'break' him due to her excitement, his body held firm, ensuring his victory in more than a hundred bouts. By the end of their typical sessions, there were times when she struggled to even maintain her form, turning into a semi-transparent mass of primordial ooze with a rather silly smile on her face...

Of the three, Gaia was the most 'reserved', even if she was also equally as honest as Tiamat. She was very eager to try new things, but, rather than go to 'extremes', she seemed to enjoy the emotional connection more than anything. There were times when they just stayed locked together for several hours at a time, embracing each other as her wings coiled around him like a cacoon. Vahn found this to be very relaxing, and, as it was a stark contrast to his usual intercourse, he quickly became fond of the very long and slow sessions of love-making...

If there was anything to 'complain' about, it was the somewhat voyeuristic nature of Laev-tan. She was a very curious creature, and, though she never asked to try things herself, there were a number of instances where she would be attentively observing, her eyes glimmering with a curious light as she hovered a few centimeters away from where the 'fun' was taking place. To make matter worse, she would spontaneously ask questions or try to give 'advice' on what she thought would be more fun. Once, leading Vahn to sit her down for a long talk, she even tried poking him in the butt after commenting how 'cute' it was...

Fortunately, after a stern talking to, Laev-tan became surprisingly obedient, watching things play out with an ever-intrigued smile on her face. She seemed to be happy when he was happy, and, though it was a little unnerving at times, her innocence was rather endearing. It helped that, instead of trying to insist he pamper her humanoid form, Laev-tan enjoyed being polished and caressed as a Shikai. In her mind, her Shikai was her true form, and, if not for her desire to appear cute and fit in with others, she might not even have a humanoid form.

Since it had become something of an unbreakable habit, Vahn dutifully polished Laev-tan around five times a day. He would also practice with her for a few hours every day, allowing her to release her tensions. She had a very tomboyish nature, and, if she sat around for too long, she would begin to grow restless. This was directly translated to Vahn through their mutual connection, so, whenever he could free up some time from the trio of True Dragons, he would teleport an incomprehensible distance away so they could both cut loose.

---

Before he had realized it, even though he had been keeping track of every single day, nearly four months had passed since Vahn entered his Realm. He was starting to feel as though he had been inside for too long, so, after discussing it with the three sisters, he decided it was about time for him to return to the 'real' world. They would remain inside the Realm to stabilize the Laws, but, until he was confident there wouldn't be any issues, everything else would remain frozen.

As he had yet to reach Tier 5, there was a non-negligible chance things would simply 'break' if he were to start Time before stabilizing the Laws. There wasn't even a sun to illuminate the planet, so, if he didn't awaken Amaterasu and help her create a proper 'true body', Gaia would lose its luster and become a world devoid of natural light.

Though it was possible to create planets and stars out of thin air, this only functioned due to the fact that things like gravity and other natural laws were currently under his complete control. This would not be the case when he turned his attention away from the Realm, however, meaning star basically explode the moment he turned away. Even worse, the bonds between atoms might not even hold up properly, meaning everything would simply turn to cosmic dust. This wouldn't actually kill anyone, as even the Law of Death didn't exist in his Realm, but it would become a big issue if he had to basically reform the bodies of nearly a trillion people...

In order to get his Realm up and running, Vahn was intending to do things in phases, starting with the assignment of Authority to Tier 5 beings. They would serve as the foundation that ensured the stability of the Record, basically serving as his pantheon of Primordial Gods. Then, once everything was in order, Time and Space could become more defined, rather than existing as little more than 'potential'. From there, he could begin awakening Tier 4 entities, assigning them weaker, more niche Authorities that would ensure balance within the confines of the Planetary Bounded Field.

With a full pantheon of Primordial and Planetary Gods, Vahn was confident his Realm would be able to remain stable, even when he was focused on other things. For now, it would have to remain in a state of suspension. Fortunately, due to the quirks of The Path, he could still convert entities such as Fenrir and Medusa into their core forms. They were the only people he was 'guaranteed' to be able to take outside, so, once he had enough power to do so, he would eventually summon them.

Though he couldn't be certain, Vahn had started to suspect that the reason why Medusa chose to stunt her growth was so that she would have an advantage when he moved to a new Record. At his current level, it would likely take months, at the very least, before he had enough power to summon Fenrir. As for the adorably sly snake, it probably wouldn't take more than a month before he had the ability to summon her. She was 'much' weaker than Fenrir, so, for a while, she may be his only 'real' companion in the outside world.

Since he wouldn't get any answers by stalling, Vahn spent one last night of passion with all three sisters, promising to return often. He had left all three of them with an 'egg', so, even if they were lonely, their instincts would keep them preoccupied. As for how long it took for the eggs to hatch, that was ultimately up to him. At the very least, he wanted them to wait until he had jumpstarted the Realm, but, depending on the circumstances, it could be much sooner. After all, he was 'very' curious about how powerful his children would be when their mothers were things like 'an actual planet' and 'the manifestation of humanity's will to survive'. There was even a chance they could fill the roles of some much-needed Primordial Gods, further stabilizing the Realm...

---

Opening his eyes, Vahn noticed that the Imperial Guard who had been yawning prior to his entry into the Realm was still stuck mid-yawn. This confirmed that no time had passed while he was inside the Realm, bringing a satisfied smile to his face. Then, startling the guards who had been eyeing him from a distance, he extended his hand and said, "Set alight the all-consuming flame, Laevateinn...!!"

Without needing to manifest his Asauchi, a plume of brackish-crimson flames erupted from Vahn's right hand. When it faded away, a 185cm long claymore with a smoldering blade had manifested, its presence alone enough to cause people to collapse to the ground. This was quite a surprise, even to Vahn, but, remembering how Captain-Class Shinigami were able to achieve the same effect, it wasn't too unexpected. Rather, even in the [Asauchi-Production Manual], it mentioned that the awakening of a Zanpakutou Spirit could place a heavy strain on the physical world, potentially endangering the lives of 'normal' people.

Understanding that Laev-tan was basically just trying to show off, Vahn lightly tapped the draconic visage on the guard, saying, "Restrain your aura. We're not fighting anyone."

Though it wasn't immediately, Laev-tan ultimately retracted her aura, releasing an annoyed hum that caused crackling sounds to emanate from her blade. She couldn't speak in this form, but, after being together for several decades, Vahn could still understand her. As a result, he just shook his head with a wry smile, promising, "We'll have plenty of enemies to fight against. For now, I'm just happy to see you in the real world like this..."

Understanding the 'anatomy' of Laev-tan's sword form, Vahn gently caressed the area of the blade that was her 'back' when she was in human form. At the same time, he somewhat roughly scratched the area that represented the top of her head, earning a pleasant hum in response. Though she had a tomboyish personality, she was exceptionally weak to being pampered. After all, he had carried her with him for nearly forty years, spoiling her quite a bit in the process...

---

Despite seeing their 'prisoner' pull a sword out of thin air, none of the Imperial Guardsman made any attempt to confiscate it. Some even pretended not to have noticed while others, after processing the scene before them, went to report to the Warden. They needed to report that their prisoner was able to use Magic within an area where orthodox forms of Magic would be useless. This was an important discovery, as, with the exception of Royal Magic, only Ancient and Spiritual Magic could be used so freely.

Vahn was perfectly aware of the fact he was 'showing off', but, after realizing the power currently in his possession, most thoughts of laying low had faded away. While he couldn't directly compare his capabilities to his Master, it was a simple truth that her magical power was actually very low. She was unable to become stronger due to the nature of her body, requiring her to supplement her power by sucking blood. The thing that made her so powerful was her absolute mastery over certain Elements and Laws, elevating her from around 300 Base Power to levels he couldn't comprehend. All he knew for certain was that, in her prime, Eva was even able to kill Demon Gods in a single blow.

At the present moment, Vahn's power was a little unstable due to his recent arrival in the Record. By the time he fully acclimated, he should be able to increase his Power Level to around 8100. This was without the use of Magia Erebea, so, if he really pushed himself, even exceeding 20,000 wouldn't be a stretch. It all depended on whether or not his power level would plateau beyond a certain point...

Vahn wouldn't know for certain where he stood in relation to others until he fought against powerful foes. Theoretical strength meant nothing when fists and magic started flying, so, unless they tried to use underhanded means, Vahn was still considering 'accepting' his punishment. He wouldn't allow them to put a slave collar around his neck, but, if it was just fighting in the Coliseum, he was actually looking forward to it.
