Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Girl Hiding His Purpose
Coming from different time lines, the Dark Lord caused some chaos that for now can still be muted. The chaos was the destruction of Grandtopia and made the Seiryuu empire as its “ playground”. However, Reina who saw through the Chronos tree, the weeping that trickled after the Dark Lord saw the arrival of Luna, had to turn her brain. What exactly was the purpose of him coming here? Is it just as simple as to wreak havoc in a world that “ welcomes him” as this guest, as Hugo suspected? Unfortunately, before he could actually get the answer, one of the victims of the Lord of the Darkness of— who should have died with a body drenched in blood— came back as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Luna, Colette, and Lloyd are in a dimension created by the Dark Lord. They discussed how Luna could know what was going on in this separate dimension of the real world.
“Tell me, can you clean the Rune?” ask Luna.
“Uhm,” replied the Dark Lord, nodding.
“Have you tried it on yourself?”
“Ha... huh?” even the Dark Lord was confused.
“Yes! That's what you're the world version of doing. Very crazy, even I made it a container just DO NOT expect it!”
“But ... that doesn't mean Princess Zeeta wore it for the first time, does it?” colette asked, “I mean, she can even read the movements and thoughts of others because of the runes that were installed on her own.
“She also wears more than one rune to fight Lucy. Is there anything strange about that?”
“You are right,” replied Luna, “but, you must understand in advance about the basis of how she uses Rune. To be able to use each letter of the rune, he could use two options. Using nature or its own.
“Rune used for him to be able to read the movements and thoughts of others, namely Rune Kaunaz, not so suck mana. Therefore, especially for this rune, he always wore his own mana.
“However, when fighting Lucy—he did wear more than one Rune—but he balanced his use by using his own mana of nature and mana, so that it would not be an excessive burden for his body. What's more, after that he also wears the Catastrophe Seal.
“But you have to take notes, even for Zeeta, where it has a limit. If his own mana is thinning, automatically he will not be able to use natural mana. That was why, the moments before he put on the Catastrophe Seal, the Elves helped heal him from a distance.
“Now, the problem is that Zeeta is using Rune Ansuz on herself—a rune that has never even been used before. Indeed, it never hurts to write runes on yourself—with notes— does not exceed the limit. But, Rune Ansuz .. is a Rune capable of ‘rule’ nature to manifest themselves and communicate with her."
“Communication I mean here is inter-world communication.
"Nature is wide in all the world. They are connected to each other, which also allows the Elves to help Zeeta from behind— as one example.
“After we learned of the threat of Seiryuu wanting to collect Soul Stones to open Jotunnheim, he hid the fact that there was a strange feeling he had suddenly appeared far away somewhere in this world. That's why, he's thinking of using it."
Luna looked towards the Dark Lord.
“Rune Ansuz made her able to know whatever the witch wanted to know," Luna explained, "even if the Witch wanted to ask about her own death. But, in accordance with the ability of this Rune, the pay was not small. If Zeeta wears it for too long.
“And you know what he said back then so easily?”
Luna prepares to speak while imitating Zeeta's style of speech. “'Again, in this way, we will be able to save a lot of time and be able to deny the worst possible of something that just appeared this. Oh, there's you with me. You can certainly do something if later even I myself who was cornered.'”
"...." - ".Luna was silent for a moment while tightly gripping her right hand. "UGH THE BOY ... REALLY, DEH!" four veins in his temple arise.
......................
Lloyd's emotions immediately arise after hearing the full explanation from Luna. “That boy.... Did he not understand that Runes were very risky to use on themselves?! Moreover, a rune he had never worn?
“Don't Ozy teach her about it?!”
“That's it, Elf boy!” sahut Luna, “I, as his Yggdrasil Spirit, had already reminded him of the danger, but his head contents were hard once even harder than the scales of the Dragon!”
“A-anu.. indeed, what is the risk...?” ask Colette.
“MATI!” answer Luna and Lloyd at the same time.
“E-eh?!?!”
Lloyd then added. “At first, Runes were an ancient magic method used only by Giants for their battles against Dragons. No wonder, when each one of the Rune letters itself, had a power that was at an extremely insane level.
“Even I myself had a doubt that Zeeta would be able to master the Rune, because he is only a Human! But, after hearing the history he saw upon returning from his death, I guess I can accept that fact.”
“Why should you ask? Doesn't this apply to you too?” Lloyd still looked to the Dark Lord with deep hatred.
“No, Son Elf.” Luna's expression was serious. “I told you, he came from a different timeline.
“Correct me if I'm wrong. The power of your moon ... never rises, does it?”
The Darkness Ruler clutched his hand.
“Eh..?” Colette cringing. Same with Lloyd.
“Then, how can you use the ancient magic of Rune?”
The Dark Lord bit his lips. He slowly retreated while lowering his head. “I didn't come here to be lectured by the dead!” he flicked his fingers, then disappeared from there.
“The child..!” not expecting her to run away, Luna hurriedly. “Nak Elf, get ready to hit!”
“Send it to me!” answer Lloyd quickly.
“E-eh? W-what happened?” Colette was really confused.
‘CLANK!’
The sky and ground looked like they were breaking. Even for Colette, who was new to the world, everything around her was magic of a different level, she understood what would happen next. “Gosh...,” said.
‘ZRAAANNGG!’
That dimension collapsed completely like broken glass— knocked the three down and forced them to feel an impromptu adrenaline rush that wanted to dislodge the heart, gliding freely in space. And this is when Lloyd and Colette realized something. They were no longer in the hills when they found the cave inhabited by Diablo—but the snowy ground that was going on fighting there.
Lloyd who is able to feel the flow of mana—not like Colette—directly know who is fighting. “They...? Mintia and the others!”
The sparkle of an eye was clearly on Colette. “Hei! Is there Marcus there? Is Marcus okay?”
Lloyd squinted to be able to distinguish the flow from each other, then replied. “Yes, I can make sure he's okay.”
“Gosh, you guys are,” said Luna, “did you forget we were falling from the sky? Shouldn't you be panicking here, especially you, son Colette?”
“Hehe .. because I know Marcus is fine, I am too!”
“Haaah.... Humans are indeed unique creatures, whenever their time.”.
......................
As per Marcus' plan on his two comrades, he was currently on bait while carrying an explosive crystal that floated with magic behind his back. While running up to Phantasmal looking like a Giant, he sat down. “After I managed to ignite their attention with this crystal—crystals that could not be left unattended—in other words, they trap ‘kami’ to wear this. They will definitely concentrate the entire attack on the ‘kami’ that is already trapped.
“Send the rest to you, Mintia, Nova!”
But....
“Marcuuuusss!”
He heard his girlfriend's voice from one direction. He wondered, “What I just heard
colette sound? What else am I..?”
“Marcus, above you!”
As soon as Marcus looked up, he was wide-eyed. “Life, Colette?!”
‘GUBRAK!’
