Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 115 Meeting



Several days passed since the major incident, and it shocked the whole Gaia continent after the news about it spread everywhere. The total death count in Starlight City was 4,873.

If City Lord Ray hadn\'t acted quickly to limit the movement of magical beasts from the portal by conjuring a large barrier, the casualties would have been much higher.

After half a month, all damage done to the city was repaired, and those who lost their houses also got them back. But there was an empty spot in the city where the portal appeared. Graves of the people who died filled that spot, and the whole city came to mourn and put flowers there.

City Lord Ray felt guilty, but he didn\'t allow himself to drown in that guilt. Instead, he directed his anger at the perpetrator who brought in the device that opened that portal and caused this. He was trying to find them. Not just him, but all major countries were trying to investigate this. After all, whatever opened that portal was extremely dangerous!

But nobody knew what kind of thing or device opened that portal except for Zevien and his gang. City Lord Ray knew about it from the message but he only read the rough description and not the device in person.

Zevien was waiting for Touma-sir, City Lord Cargil, and the others to return so he could talk to them and give them the crystal. For the past fifteen days, he was laying low and just attended the academy, worked in his company, and supervised the other research progress.

However, Touma-sir and the others finally returned from the Astral land today, and their faces turned dark after hearing about the disaster in Starlight city.

"Ray, tell me everything in detail," Cargil somberly said as he sat on the round table.

Besides Cargil and Ray, there were three more 1st class magicians: Nike, Bukkan, and Raven. Aside from them, Touma, Merax, and Blondina also sat at the table in this meeting.

After saying everything about the incident from start to finish, Ray concluded, "currently, I am trying to find the person who sent me that anonymous message. That person should be on our side and know more about whatever device that opened the portal, so we have to make contact with that person."

"If there\'s someone who can send an anonymous message like that…," Touma said before he wryly smiled.

Raven, Blondina, Merax, and Cargil nodded.

"Who?" Bukkan curiously asked while rubbing his dark-blond beard. Nike was also curious as she looked at Cargil to seek an answer. Nike had long black hair and a tiara on her head, which was a tier-5 accessory with a gemstone embedded in it. She wore an ancient-type battle dress while Bukkan wore monk-like clothes.

"Bring him here," Cargil said as he looked at Touma. "He must be waiting for our arrival\'s news as well."

Touma nodded as he stood up and left the meeting room.

After ten minutes, Zevien entered the meeting room with Touma.

Cargil gestured for him to sit down, and he did with a somber expression on his face as he knew why he was there.

He took out the glass container with a crystal inside it from his storage ring and put it on the table.

"Is this the device?!" Cargil raised his eyebrows.

"So you were the one who sent me the anonymous message?" Ray asked as he looked at Zevien.

"It was my friend, but yeah, I told him to do it," Zevien nodded before pointing at the container, "this is the thing that opened the portal."

"How did you get it?" Ray asked with doubt. He was confused. How could a classless magician like Zevien manage to get something like that?

Zevien didn\'t answer right away but looked at City Lord Cargil.

Cargil nodded and turned to Nike and Bukkan, "this is Zevien. The one in possession of the Fairy Summoning magic spell."

"Oh~ So the fairy spirits you have is because of him?" Nike was surprised.

"What fairy spirits?" Ray was confused.

"What we discuss here and what you found here must not reach anyone else, got it?" Cargil said with narrowed eyes.

"Roger," Ray nodded with a serious expression as he also put the pieces together and understood the situation, "you told others that your team is going to Astral Land to procure a fairy spirit spell…so was it an excuse and a cover to hide the fact that Zevien possess the spell?"

"Yep," Raven nodded, "we can not let others find out that Zevien has a fairy summoning magic spell, or his life will be in danger once other countries or some dangerous organizations find that out."

"And that\'s why we went on a cover-up mission with the excuse of getting a fairy summoning magic spell," Blondia said as she adjusted her glasses. "But in reality, we went to do some other things and make our relationship better with a kingdom and obtain some resources."

"Now that Ray is on the team and understood everything, let\'s get on to the main topic," Bukkan said with a rough voice, his eyes reflecting anger because of the disaster. He looked at Zevien and said, "speak, boy. How did you get that crystal, and what do you know about all this?"

Zevien nodded as he took out a vampire blood vial and transformed himself into a vampire.

"As you can see, Zevien\'s other identity is Alucard. We all already know that since I got him the other Digi-watch, but now that you know as well, you gotta keep it a secret," Raven said as she looked at Ray.

Afterward, Zevien told them about how he became a target in the resort and how he managed to get this glass container with crystal in it with the help of Tarto.

"So that is how you got it…," Cargil nodded as he rested his elbows on the table and covered his face with his hands before speaking with a serious expression, "lord Tartagust can read thoughts, right? Can you ask him if he knows who was behind those three people? If they thought of it at that time, Tartagust should have known about it."

"Tarto is not heeding my call," Zevien weakly smiled while shaking his head, "he is in a pinch right now."

Suddenly, the necklace on Raven\'s neck turned misty and arrived on top of the table before transforming into its original appearance, the fairy spirit: Ravana.

"Lord Tartagust is seriously wounded and is recovering in his fairy realm," Ravana said as he looked at Zevien, "he is hibernating now and will not wake up for a few months."
