Chapter 31: Fight for Our World!
Gerald stared at Makarov in disbelief.
His mind went blank; he was completely terrified by the news.
Because coming from his original world, Edolas, to this world is not an easy thing.
Even he only managed to come to this world through the super-subspace magic "Anima" by relying on his powerful magic wand and his understanding of magic circles. Could anyone else do that?
This is not because Gerald thinks highly of himself or that others are inferior to him, but because he is indeed greatly limited by various objective conditions.
In the world of Edolas, ordinary people have no access to magic or magical items, let alone a wand of his caliber.
Without magic to defend oneself, crossing the barrier between the two worlds is clearly not an easy task.
Therefore, Gerald was naturally very shocked that other people had come into this world decades ago.
"Who is it?"
Before Gerald could speak, Moen asked first.
He was also curious whether the person Grandpa Makarov was talking about was a fellow member of the guild.
If so, then the pool of candidates is narrowed down significantly, and Moen may already have someone in mind.
"It's your grandmother, Polyusika. It's not some secret that can't be told."
Without letting Moen guess any further, Makarov gave the answer directly.
"It really is Granny Poryusika..."
Moen was not surprised by the answer. First of all, the age and status matched. Grandma Poliusica was Grandpa Makarov's old friend for decades, and she was the only one in the guild with such qualifications.
Secondly, after meeting Gerald, Moen immediately felt that this guy's situation was somewhat similar to that of Granny Poryusica.
However, Granny Polyusica was even more special than this guy; Moen couldn't see through Granny Polyusica's secrets.
"There really is one..."
Gerald was shocked. He didn't think the two of them would lie to him about something like this. What was the point?
"Geralt, you still haven't explained what that magic was all about."
Seeing Gerald's dazed expression, Moen reminded him that the dangerous magic was the key issue.
Hearing Moen's words, Gerald slowly came to his senses. He gritted his teeth. Since these people already knew that he came from another world and even had a close relationship with that transmigrator predecessor, there was no need to hide some things anymore.
"I come from a world called Edolas. The magic in that world has been depleted. In order to obtain magic, the super-subspace magic Anima was born. It is the dangerous magic that just now. It can convert the life force of life in this world into magic and transfer it to the other world."
Gerald, with a serious expression, told the whole truth.
"..."
Moen and Makarov fell silent after hearing this. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"This is a bit too perverted!"
Moen couldn't help but curse.
What genius came up with this idea? It's utterly despicable!
Burning the lives of people in the world of Eslanden as consumables, converting life into magic for the people of Edolas—do those Edolas people actually actually use it?!
What's the difference between using this magic and directly eating people? It's just an extra, less gory processing step.
"Yes...it's very unreasonable."
Gerald looked ashamed, as if Moen was the one being insulted.
"We can't just stand by and watch this kind of evil happen, Gerald. Can we travel from this world to the other?"
Moen frowned and said, "This magic called 'Anima' is like the 'Sword of Damocles' hanging over the world of Asland, extremely dangerous. You never know when it will fall, or where it will fall."
If this magic were to fall on Magnolia one day, or on Fairy Tail's head, that would be no fun at all.
"What...are you going to do?"
Gerald paused for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he cautiously asked.
Moen gave Gerald a strange look, then spoke as if it were perfectly natural:
"Of course we have to go and kill the guy who used this magic! Just like Grandpa Makarov said, Gerald, this isn't just about you alone; it's a war between two worlds!"
Moen clenched his fist. This was a really big event!
Where's the Saint Seiya System? Give us some feedback!
Isn't now the time to trigger the mission?!
[Ding! Mission triggered!]
Mission Title: "An Expedition Across the World!"
Task details:
The provocations of the world of Edolas have deeply hurt Eslandon. To protect our world, our families, and our friends, a grand expedition spanning the globe is imperative! Strike! Fight for our world!
Task progress:
Mission 1: Completely destroy the hyper-subspace magic "Anima" (Incomplete)
Task Two: Resolve the problem of mana depletion in the world of Edolas. (Incomplete)
Reward for Mission 1: Random Saint Seiya skill.
Reward for Mission Two: Blood of the Gods.
At Moen's call, the [Saint Seiya System] appeared at the opportune moment and indeed triggered a new quest.
Both rewards were given out, but Moen's gaze fell on the second one.
"Blood of God," that's a really good thing!
Cloths stained with "divine blood" have the potential to evolve into "divine cloths"!
Even if it cannot evolve into a "God Cloth", "God's Blood" will still allow the Cloth to evolve, making it stronger.
'But this task... doesn't look simple at all.'
The rarity and value of "Blood of God" are clearly linked to the difficulty of the mission.
Solving the problem of mana depletion in the world of Edolas doesn't sound like something that can be accomplished easily.
Makarov stepped forward when Moen's attention was drawn to the new mission.
"That's right! Jellal, this isn't your problem alone, and you don't have to bear it all by yourself. I will report this to the Magic Council, and the entire continent of Ishgar will stand by your side. We can solve this problem together."
Makarov spoke with great confidence, and he certainly had the right to say so.
As one of the "Ten Wizard Saints," Makarov still has a voice in the Magic Council; this is a privilege of the strong.
If the Magic Council doesn't take it seriously, Makarov still has a way. He can organize a coalition of mage guilds from the Kingdom of Fiore. He has a lot of influence in the Kingdom of Fiore, which shows the value of having an elder in the family!
Looking at the indignant and righteous Moen and Makarov before him, Gerald was somewhat dazed. This was an unexpected turn of events. So... it was possible to borrow the power of this world?
