Entering the fourth week, Lisanna once again disappeared from the villagers’ sight, and Igor continued to act as the person in charge of the village.
“Igor.” “Isn’t Mirajane supposed to be on duty this week?” The village chief seemed to be particularly concerned about the situation of the Strauss family.
Seeing that Igor was running errands again even in the fourth week, he couldn’t help asking.
“Well, I lost at rock-paper-scissors with Mirajane, so she pushed all the housework onto me.” Igor put on an angry expression and explained the situation at home while shouting.
Igor believed that an expression he had practiced many times in front of the mirror at home would be enough to deceive most of the people in the village.
“Hm?” Hearing this, the village chief narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of suspicion appearing on his face.
Apparently, he had not seen Mirajane in the village for some time.
Because the village chief had not discovered the demon’s corpse, he still felt that the demon was lurking in the village.
In order to ensure the safety of the villagers, he gradually hardened his resolve.
“It seems I’ll need to have a great Wizard confirm it.” Watching Igor’s retreating figure, the village chief muttered to himself.
… Time passed quickly.
Before long, one month had gone by.
“Look, Igor!
My arm is finally healed!” Mirajane stared at her right hand, which had returned to its original state, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
After one month of secluded training, she had finally completely housed the demon soul inside her body.
“Well done, Mirajane.” Igor arranged that day’s meal on the dining table and, seeing that Mirajane had successfully controlled the demon soul inside her body, immediately praised her.
In terms of emotional value, Igor could be said to always be very generous.
Mirajane smiled proudly and, as if wanting to show Igor the results of the past month’s training, loudly accepted the demon soul housed inside her body.
“Buzz!!” The moment Mirajane finished speaking, a complex and intricate purple magic circle rose from her feet and instantly covered her entire body.
In the next moment, the long white hair tied in a ponytail fluttered high into the air.
Her limbs transformed into demon claws covered in black scales.
The claws emitted a metallic luster and killing intent, and a pair of bat-like demon wings spread from her back.
“BOOM!!” Standing in front of Mirajane, who had completely accepted the demon soul, Igor felt the intense magical power unintentionally released from her body and laughed.
“As expected of Mirajane.
To possess such powerful magical power from the very first complete acceptance of a demon soul.” Yes—at the moment Mirajane first Take Over the demon soul, according to the evaluation of Igor’s system, she possessed B+ level “Magical Barrier Particles” and “Ethernano.” Taking into account the special physical characteristics of Igor and Mirajane, and considering that “Ethernano” and “magic barrier particles” complement each other, the effect they exhibit is undoubtedly greater than the sum of each particle (1+1>2)… If Mirajane belonged to an ordinary Wizard guild, she would be able to manage perfectly well on her own.
In a small Wizard guild, she would possess more than enough ability to become the guild’s ace Wizard.
“Hehe.” “Isn’t this common sense?” “Who do you think I am?!” Receiving Igor’s praise, Mirajane was overjoyed.
She put both hands on her hips and smiled proudly.
“Big Sister Mirajane, Big Brother Igor, we’ve also completed Take Over magic.” Just then, hearing the commotion Mirajane had caused, Elfman and Lisanna rushed downstairs with expressions full of joy and showed their magic to Mirajane and Igor.
“Buzz!” Beautiful purple and gold magic circles shone above Elfman and Lisanna, and the two successfully awakened the ability to receive magic.
Elfman safely obtained the beast soul “Bear,” and Lisanna obtained the animal soul “Cat.” “Eh?” Seeing Elfman and Lisanna learn magic so easily, Mirajane’s pupils opened slightly.
She was truly happy for her younger brother and sister from the bottom of her heart.
“As expected of my younger brother and sister!” Then Mirajane quickly ran to Igor’s side, brought her thin lips close to his ear, and whispered unhappily, “Igor, why can Elfman and Lisanna receive animal souls so easily?” “You didn’t give special treatment to my younger siblings, did you?
As an older sister, I’d be really disappointed if I couldn’t catch up to them.” “Mirajane, you’re misunderstanding.
I didn’t give them any special treatment.” “The reason Lisanna and Elfman were able to manipulate the souls inside their bodies so quickly is because the quality of the souls you Take Over was different.” Igor waved his hands repeatedly toward Mirajane to show that he had not given special treatment to Lisanna or Elfman, and explained.
“Mirajane, the demon souls that you and I Take Over are among the highest level even among those Take Over magic!” “Except for the souls of ‘Dragons’ or ‘Gods,’ there are probably no souls that can compare to these.” “Therefore, controlling a demon soul is extremely difficult.
Even in a proper Wizard guild, all missions involving demons are classified as ‘S’-rank missions.” After explaining the power and difficulty of the Demon Soul to Mirajane, Igor began explaining the Beast Soul and Animal Soul that Elfman and Lisanna had Take Over.
“The beast soul that Elfman Take Over and the animal soul that Lisanna Take Over are far weaker in power compared to a demon soul, but correspondingly, they are easier to control.” “That’s why Lisanna and Elfman can learn magic so easily.” Soon, Igor had explained everything to Mirajane.
“Hm?” At first Mirajane looked at Igor suspiciously, but she immediately broke into a full smile, lightly patted Igor’s shoulder, and said, “I believe you now.” “Phew.” Seeing that Mirajane believed his words, Igor let out a sigh of relief.
Igor didn’t know why he became so nervous when facing Mirajane, but in any case, he was terribly nervous.
“Hehe.” Just as Igor was sighing in relief, the Mirajane in front of him giggled and said enthusiastically, “Since both of us can now completely control the ‘demon souls’ inside our bodies, how about a duel?” “A duel?” Igor frowned.
“Mm.” Mirajane raised her chin and said with a laugh, “Come on, let’s settle this, Igor!” “Eh?” Seeing the enthusiasm in Mirajane’s eyes, Igor could not dampen her enthusiasm and said with a smile, “Then let’s go outside and settle this matter once and for all.” “…” Mirajane stretched her limbs while wearing a serious expression.
“Igor, just because you were the first to control the ‘demon soul’ inside you, don’t think you’ve surpassed me!
Today I’ll prove that I am still the head of the Strauss family.” “Actually, there’s no need to prove anything.” Igor muttered in a small voice.
“Igor, what did you just say?” Mirajane turned toward Igor and asked him a question.
“…” “I didn’t say anything.” Igor frowned and lightly shook his head, as if thinking about something.
Igor thought in his heart, “I should hold back a little and do my best to end this so-called ‘battle’ with a settlement with Mirajane.” PS: Continue?
