How should I put this sentence?
Gar is quite familiar with it, because the first half is the first sentence of the continent's general Magic textbook.
And the latter half is clearly Hades's own interpretation.
Gar looked at the notebook in his hand and raised his hand to summon.
The equipment he usually wore appeared on the bed.
Anti-Magic Cloak, Scholar's Wrath, Ring of Amplification, Time Necklace, Boots of Calmness, Pocket Watch of Time, Tome of Amplification.
These things allow him to easily deal with various Magicians during normal battles.
Even those Purgatorys Kin, Nine Demon Gates, and the like have no way to deal with him, but without these things, his own Magic power level is currently only A+, still some distance from S-Class.
It's just that with the amplification from those equipment, Gar is usually no different from an S-Class Magician.
Looking at these pieces of equipment, Gar was silent for a long time and sighed:
"Really..."
"And I even taught Erza not to pursue artifacts too much."
"What does this make me?"
While teaching Erza not to pursue the power of equipment and to rely on herself.
While he himself is wearing equipment full of Magic power amplification...
Gar put down the notebook in his hand and sighed:
"Magic power is the most fundamental thing."
Looking at this equipment, he raised his hand and waved, storing them in space.
Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and began Calm Mind.
Because of his Arceus template, his Magic power has been naturally increasing, coupled with the bonuses from various Magic power amplifying equipment, Gar doesn't know when he stopped doing Calm Mind, completely letting it grow on its own.
Allowing the Magic power within his body to grow naturally.
Although this situation isn't bad, it definitely isn't considered effort, and could even be said to be slacking off.
Gar also doesn't know when he became like this.
Perhaps after experiencing the bonus from equipment?
In short, it's always easier to talk about others than about oneself.
But realizing it now is not too late.
Gar continued to maintain the Calm Mind state, constantly refining his own Magic power.
--
A few days later.
Ishgar Continent, central region.
Magic Council Headquarters.
The Magic Council's airship slowly landed, and the guards quickly lined up below the airship.
Thump, thump, thump --
The sound of knocking on the door rang out.
Yajima's voice came:
"Gar, we've arrived."
Gar exited Calm Mind, opened his eyes, and said:
"Okay, I understand."
Then he got up from the bed and activated the Re-Quip Magic.
He changed into a black-purple Magic robe and walked out.
Opening the door.
Yajima, seeing Gar, was startled:
"What's this?"
Originally, with the enhancement of the Magic equipment, Yajima couldn't sense the strength of Gar's Magic power, only a vague feeling.
But now, Gar is only wearing a normal black-purple Magic robe.
Yajima could clearly sense the intensity of Gar's Magic power, which was weaker than an S-Class Magician's.
What's going on?
His strength regressed so much?
A hint of doubt flashed in Yajima's eyes.
Gar, on the other hand, said with a smile:
"It's nothing."
"I just figured out a lot of things and changed my cultivation method."
Hearing this.
Yajima nodded and said:
"Is that so?"
"Alright then, I thought something had happened."
"If something were to happen to you here."
"It wouldn't be easy to explain to Makarov."
"Let's get off the ship."
"The Council members are already in the conference room."
Gar followed Yajima off the ship and walked into the Magic Council.
Inside the Magic Council conference room.
Including Yajima, seven out of the ten Council members were present, and the one presiding over the meeting was still Chairman Crawford Hume.
Gar walked to the center of the conference room and stood still, while Yajima returned to his seat.
Chairman Crawford Hume spoke:
"We meet again, Gar."
Gar said with a smile:
"Yes, I didn't expect to be back here so soon."
Crawford Seam scanned the room and said:
"Regarding the matter of refining Demons, tell us yourself."
"You must already know the process of the incident."
Gar nodded:
"Council Member Yajima told me on the way here."
"It came from Grimoire Heart, but it's clearly a rumor."
"It's meant to smear our Fairy Tail."
Second Council Member Ogre said:
"But there's the precedent of Ivan."
"Plus, with something like this happening, it's hard to be convincing."
Gar nodded and said:
"Indeed."
"However, proving it is enough."
Saying this.
Gar waved his hand, and the body of Stellar Celestial · Seilah appeared.
However, compared to her usual liveliness, at this moment, there was no aura felt within Stellar Celestial · Seilah's body, as if she were just a dead Demon.
"This Demon body is what I obtained last time outside Weak City, by killing two Nine Demon Gates Demons from Tartaros."
"They are respectively Kyouka the Starry Sky, the head of the Nine Demon Gates, and Cool Moon Heaven · Serra, one of the Nine Demon Gates."
"However, these two Demons are currently still alive."
As soon as he said this, everyone was a bit confused.
Chairman Crawford Hume frowned and said:
"What do you mean by'still alive'?"
"The Demons of Tartaros didn't die?"
Gar explained:
"The Demons of Tartaros, unless their headquarters is found and the so-called 'Hell's Core' within it is destroyed."
"Otherwise, if these Demons can't win, they will end their own lives."
"Their souls will escape, return to their headquarters, and enter the 'Hell's Core' to be reborn."
"At that time, those two Demon bodies ended their own lives when they saw the situation was bad."
"It's just that their bodies didn't have time to be destroyed like other Demons, so I kept them."
"Consider them spoils of war."
Second Council Member Ogre frowned and said:
"Weren't there two bodies?"
"Why is there only one now?"
Gar's expression was helpless as he said:
"Because when the Demons escaped, they definitely intended to destroy their bodies, but they weren't completely destroyed before I collected them."
"So I removed the damaged parts and combined the intact parts."
"And that's how it became like this now."
Gar was also spouting nonsense here; anyway, they wouldn't know if it was half-true or half-false:
"As for why this Demon body can move."
Gar summoned Gengar.
Looking at the suddenly appearing, ghost-like Gengar.
Everyone in this Council knows about it, because when Grimoire Heart and Gar were exposing each other, they had pretty much revealed everything.
The summoned Gengar chuckled:
"Heehee~"
Then it possessed and merged into the body of Stellar Celestial · Seilah on the ground, and then Stellar Celestial · Seilah opened her eyes and stood up, her Curse Power activating, causing armor spikes to grow from various parts of her body.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Council looked surprised.
Not only could it possess, but it could also control this Demon's body?
Gar said:
"That's how it is."
"Gengar is a Ghost-type Summoned Beast, and one of its abilities."
"Is to attach itself to a body."
"The souls of those two Nine Demon Gates Demons escaped, but their bodies were left behind."
"The power remaining in their bodies, as long as Gengar possesses and controls them, becomes a new Nine Demon Gates fighting force."
"So it's actually not refining at all."
"It's just simply letting Gengar possess it and exert its abilities."
"However, if you insist on believing I'm refining Demons."
"I can also restore it, after all, I don't just have one Gengar. Although I'd lose one slightly stronger Nine Demon Gates fighting force, I could gain two slightly weaker Nine Demon Gates fighting forces, which is the same."
Hearing this, everyone looked speechless.
Having this one Demon body is already something they're tolerating from you, and you want to make two?
Dream on.
Chairman Crawford Hume coughed lightly and quickly said:
"There's no need to restore it."
"As long as it's explained clearly, that's fine."
"After all, a Demon's body and such don't matter; the main concern was that you, being young, might go astray and use Soul Magic to stuff the souls of living beings into the Demon's body to control it, which would be serious."
"But thankfully, it's a Summoned Beast possessing and controlling the body."
"The Council will publish an article later to explain this matter, and that will be sufficient."
"However, Gar..."
"Since your Ghost-type Summoned Beast..."
"Since it can possess and control bodies without souls."
"Can it read the memories of the dead?"
As his voice fell, the conference room fell silent.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Gar; some Council members' expressions changed inexplicably, after all, everyone has secrets, and if there really was a Summoned Beast that could read the memories of corpses...
Gar was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
This question is sharp enough, trying to trap me?
