Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Aftermath.
"Master, I've returned" a voice revibrated in the darkness.
"So, you have Sagittarius, or should I say Zoldeo" Hades replied.
Zoldeo froze as he was shocked that someone found out.
Hades took a step forward from the darkness to face Zoldeo who still had his face down. His shoulders trembled slightly in the fear which would have been missed by most people, but the one eyed former fairy tail guildmaster and master of magic was able to notice it easily.
"When a free celestial spirit came to us for employment, we believed it to the act of a celestial wizard who is afraid of confrontation and was using you as a front" Hades continued.
"But the length of the time you were able to stay in the physical world changed that idea. For a wizard to be able to make you stay in Earthland all this time, either their magic recovery level must surpass their consumption of keeping you in this dimension or that their magic level is so vast that it does not matter to them."
Hades's speculations began to cause sweat to form in Zoldeo's back. He wanted to fight back by using a surprise attack while Hades was talking, but the aura released by Hades was making him bow down and he was able to hear a clear message.
'Bow down and listen or move and die.'
As a person who considered his own self preservation the most, he knew which option to choose.
"But both of those options were discarded cause if the mage behind you was that strong, he has no need of hiding, and even if he were hiding, the amount of magic would have made you stronger than you are right now so that idea was discarded.
Then came the investigation of the Sagittarius key, even an idiot with a little bit of knowledge will know that it was the Heartfilia family who would have had that. And since a new celestial wizard had been born into the family, according to their own rules, the zodiac keys would have been spread out to various parts of the world a long time ago as a trial for the next celestial wizard down the line to collect them.
And when we investigated the name of the person who had the key to Sagittarius, your name came up along with the fact that you were missing for many years."
'They found out' Zoldeo thought with fear in his mind.
"And looking at the fact that you manged to turn individuals of various strength into puppet summons under your control using a very special ancient magic, it was easy to deduce what happened.
You tried to use forbidden magic to possess Sagittarius, thereby breaking one of the covenant laws of celestial wizards. The only reason you have not received punishment for it is because you are currently inside the body of the celestial spirit."
Hades then stood in front of Zoldeo.
"Stand up" he commanded and Zoldeo obeyed immediately.
"To me it matters not what happens to the celestial spirit, but if something like this causes setbacks in the plan I have made in the future, then you will have to fear me above anything else" Hades warned.
"Understood" Zoldeo replied with seriousness.
Hades moved away and sat on a chair behind a table, surprising Zoldeo as he had seen neither since he had come to the room.
"Did you get what you went for?"
"Yes Master Hades" Zoldeo said as he raised his arm. Suddenly reddish-purple energy began to form on his hand which began to concentrate on a single point until it formed a sphere of energy which spread out the feeling of dread to the surroundings.
Zoldeo was strong enough to resist the aura while Hades didn't even feel a little bit of difficulty because of it.
He took the energy from Zoldeo.
"Finally, we are closer to awakening him to create the world of magic" Hades muttered as he slowly put the sphere of energy inside a drawer in the table. He then sat down on the chair again.
"Explain to me everything that happened, and in detail."
"Yes Master"
Zoldeo then explained everything including the ambush in the council he did with one of his summons which Gerard had carefully placed in the board of members before. He used the summon to destroy the entire council after the cannon was fired.
He then recounted everything that happened in the tower along with that he revealed a recording crystal in which he had recorded the brief fight between Gerard and Karna. he still hated Karna for what he had done years ago and had done his best to gather as much information as he can which was almost negligible considering the secrecy in which Karna hides his magic and abilities from the outside world. So, he took every chance he can get, he made sure to record the battle which happened in the R tower which in a way was a waste as the fight ended within seconds.
Hades took the recording crystal from Zoldeo and listened to the rest of the report and then made him go back.
He then took the recording crystal and viewed the battle carefully multiple times. As the recording crystal was made by Hades, he had made it to record by using a specific magic which records the complete physical and photogenic information in a certain rejoin.
Because of this, he was able to view information from various different angles.
After looking through the video a few times, he stopped it and then leaned back in the chair. A grin formed in his lips as he started laughing slightly.
"Fool" Hades muttered. He had seen Zoldeo's expression when giving the crystal, as if saying there was nothing there in the crystal as the fight was brief.
But for an experienced mage such as Hades who had participated in the wizard war, faced countless wizards, and had stood side by side to the greatest genius and tactician he had ever known, the small fight had revealed plenty of information.
