Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 569 569 Mana Purification

After five minutes of rest, Wolfe was feeling much better, and was about ready to rejoin the land of the living, and start making his way to the southern border to meet with Priya at the Sylvan Fortress City. It was not a short trip, roughly four hundred kilometres, but Wolfe was feeling energized after the short break and the infusion of whatever spell the Mana Beast had used on him.

He quickly packed up a backpack full of assorted goodies from the storage room, along with the new [Mana Purification] array, and made his way out to the surface.

As soon as he got above ground, he launched himself into the air, greeted the Pixies in the air above Forest Grove, and then set a pair of spells on himself. One was the basic flight spell that everyone used, but tweaked a bit for speed, and the other was a Gravity Array, like he had created for the planes, that would pull him forward.

He flew over the forest, letting the trees blur beneath him as he worked to tweak his flight abilities. In theory, he should be able to make it to his destination in seconds using [Lightning Transmission] but even the description of the spell had told him he would be an idiot to try. There had to be a better way to travel, though.

Well, a better way that wasn't Space Magic because he would pay very good money to get his hands on a Portal array.

With the Gravity Spell at ten times standard gravity pulling him forward, Wolfe began to increase the power of his armour spell and the wind magic flight spell at the same time. He could feel the air shuddering around him, and the pressure increasing as his speed increased, so he adjusted the shape of his barrier to let the airflow more smoothly around him, and increased the output of the flight spell a bit more.

With a resounding BOOM, the air seemed to tear around him, and Wolfe saw a cone of condensation form around him as his body broke the sound barrier, and everything around him turned momentarily hazy.

He was only a few thousand metres in the air, so something had definitely heard that, but there was no chance that anything short of a fighter jet was going to catch a supersonic projectile. 

With the spell combination taking up all the mana that he could pull without depleting his storage, the ground under him was noticeably changing. First from the greenery of the Forest Grove protective spells, then to the rough scrub grass of the Frozen Wastes, and then to the coastal greenery of Sylvan Coven as he neared the city.

He was very early for his appointment, the flight hadn't even taken him half an hour, so Wolfe slowed down and sent a mental message to Priya.

[I'm nearly here. Where is the best spot to meet you?]

Her response came only a few seconds later. [Land on the top of the city, there is an outdoor garden on the east side. We will meet you there.] 

It was easy to spot from this far up, and Wolfe darted down through the scattered clouds and abruptly reversed his momentum as he reached the garden, coming to a gentle landing on his feet that naturally turned into a slow walk toward the doors.

Nobody was outside yet, so Wolfe checked over his look. He wanted to make a good impression on the Coven Leaders, so looking like a slob or an actual demon wouldn't do. The best option that he could come up with were the Cultivator robes with a long coat that he had worn for the last Familiar Summoning. White robes with a black coat covered in silver embroidery seemed to be a good enough combination to make a good impression, and Wolfe casually crossed his arms with his hands in his sleeves as he walked toward the stone benches placed in the middle of the platform.

[What the hell are you wearing?] Priya asked in shock as she saw the dignified form of what looked like a Magi Clan Elder walking toward them.

[What? Stephanie said that it looked good when we picked outfits for the summoning.] Wolfe replied.

[Did you forget that not everyone is comfortable with the idea of Magi? They're freaking out over here.] Priya replied as she ushered the elderly Coven Council forward to meet with Wolfe.

"As I said, this is one of our city leaders, Wolfe Noxus. He will help us cast the spells that will put the Sylvan Coven back on the road to recovery." Priya explained to the nervous Witches.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I have studied and with the help of one of the many magical residents of Forest Grove, I have come up with an array that will repair the damage that has been done to the mana flows and auras of everyone in the Fortress City." Wolfe greeted them.

"You can help everyone? All at once?" The Coven Leader asked.

Wolfe nodded. "Not instantly, but this array will cure everyone of the damage done by the Nerve Gas as well as the damage done by casting curses. It doesn't heal, it simply purges corruption, but you're Witches, I'm sure you know a healing spell or two." Wolfe replied with a smile.

As he had, the witches viewed that news with a bit of skepticism.

"And what are the costs? We can all tell that you're a powerful Demon, but that's not a spell we have heard of before." One of the Council Members asked.

"The spell forbids casting curses. At all. For any reason. If you are under the effect of the purification array, or your aura remains affected by the array, you cannot cast a curse without risking your life." Wolfe replied, putting the simple truth out for them.

"So, it cures curse damage, and heals the mana system, but if we use a curse we die?" The Council Member replied, shocked at the cost.

"Yes, that's right. The one who created the spell had a very dismal view of curses, and the damage they do to the body. So, the spell forbids it. If the evil magic corrupts the body, the Purification array's backlash will most likely kill the caster." Wolfe agreed with a smile.
