I will try to get straight to the main thing. But damn, I need to provide you guys more informations.
Disclaimer: Urgghh... Do I have too?
Chapter 4:
It has been two days now that they are spending their time in the spirit world. And it has also been two days that the three of them has been trying so hard to gather information about the monster that they had confronted. Nothing much progress but today will the day the trio find the right info about the beast.
"Guys! I found it! A book about something called Giants! Perhaps it could help us!" Levy waves the book up enthusiastically.
"That's great, Levy-chan! I also know something about that monster as well!" Lucy walks toward where the bookworm woman is sitting.
"Hey! Don't leave me out! I want to combine my notes with yours too!" Romeo sits across both girls.
"Let us hear Lu-chan's opinion first since she always talk with the spirit king about it." The blunette winks at the boy. The blonde can only glares at both of them, "All I know is the past life about 'Immortal'. The old man told me that the mage has been married before he turned insane. And also about the mage's dangerous powers. To unseal his powers there is another way. All he had to do is gather all those dragons with the air, iron, fire, earth and water. It seems like the dragon slayer ability is also an exception. The spirit king said nothing about normal fire magic or water magic."
Levy raises on of her eyebrows, "Don't you think this sound a bit suspicious? I mean dragon slayer magic? Iron, air and fire? Gajeel, Wendy-chan and Natsu?"
Lucy nods, "Yeah, I know. That's why I'm sharing this information here. Maybe the mage who requested those three is related to 'Immortal'. But why would he want to unseal those powers anyways? Only an idiot would do that. I mean, what can he get just from unsealing it?"
The bookworm woman stares hard on the book in front of her, "I don't know. But let's check up about 'Immortal's' present looks. From what I have read people would mostly describe him a 'Titan'. I know it isn't much help but there's rumor going on about giants eating campers in the night. It was on the newspaper actually. The book only talk about the nature of giants and sea monsters. But it doesn't talk about giants eating humans. I just hope that those rumors aren't true."
The three shudders, "In the end, I'm not much of a help. At least we have another alias for the monster which is 'Titan'. So Romeo, what do want to tell us?"
They all turns to his way waiting for his story. He hesitates but leaks out the infos anyways, "Me and Loke-nee... Explores our guild today."
The blue-haired boy swears he saw the girls eyes bulge out like an iguana.
"Wait, WHAT?! You went out without telling us?" Lucy grips on to Romeo's arms. Her eyes are yelling 'bloody murders'.
"Lucy-nee, c-calm down. I'm sorry, o-okay? P-please hear me out first b-before you strangle me." Romeo stammers under the blonde's gaze. She is terrifying!
The celestial mage lays back on her chair, breathing heavily. The fire mage boy gulps down his spits before continuing his story, "L-like I said before, Loke-nee and I went to see our guild. We were not sight-seeing! I swear! The state of the guild was...different from our last two days in the spirit world. The human time and spirit time are different. 1 day in this place equals a year. And-"
"Whoa, whoa. Hold it right there. 1 day equals a year? I thought 1 day equals 3 months!" Levy stops the boy.
"Actually that has passed like years ago. The spirit realm has this kind of time that also drove the celestial spirits who lives here crazy. The time when both of you were invited to the spirit realm was the time when 1 day equals 3 month. Right now in this timeline the time changes into 1 day equals a year. To be honest, I couldn't even grasp on this weird timeline. It feels like it kept on jumping from one place to another one." Romeo explains them with ease. Both girls are completely blank.
"Loke-nee-san told me so don't look at me like I'm some kind of alien. Anyways it looks like those two years of leaving it alone has made all the big trees to grow out of them. You may not believe this but I could feel like my body is drained out of its magic when I land in our guild's remains."
They sit in silence until someone break the ice, "Actually it can be possible."
They turn their heads to the door and found the spirit king entering. He approaches to their place before continuing the tales, "'Immortal' possessed a very dangerous magic that can absorbs the energy out of any sources that has magical power. It seems like he has been absorbing everything everywhere he goes. I guess this is also why he was taken over by his own magic. Such a poor soul."
Levy gulps before asking him, "Does that mean that magic will be extinct?"
The king glances to her side, "Yes, magic will be extinct."
