Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Days passed as everyone did their things…

Vernisia, Dan, and Erica visited Zevien, and Vernisia also realized that Zevien didn't read the message yet. But they started to become less awkward and more comfortable around each other even after what happened when she visited him the first time.

After five days rather than eight, Zevien could use his mana without feeling pain or discomfort and started to infuse the ethereal-type containment formation in the spell formation of fairy summoning magic.

On the other hand, Lucas and Hilary were pulling their hair in frustration. They had exhausted expressions and weary faces that showed anger and helplessness.

Blocks after blocks after blocks after blocks were the only thing they encountered regarding their son's murder.

Inside a top-class hotel room…

"Mother is coming after a week. The moment she arrives on the Gaia continent, she will know everything," Lucas said with a frown before sighing and leaning back on the couch and closing his eyes.

Hilary had red eyes as she spoke while gritting her teeth, "let's meet with city lord Cargil. That's the only way to know about this matter."

Lucas nodded with his eyes still closed and spoke, "I wanted to solve this on our own, but now we have no choice. Let's hope that old man gives us what we want with some price."

…

The next day, they requested to meet City Lord Cargil, but they were refused because apparently, city lord Cargil went somewhere out of the city for some matter.

After knowing he would return after a week, Lucas and Hilary returned to the hotel and contacted some people.

"That Vernisia's friend….Zevien, was it? I have a feeling that he is involved in this big time," Hilary said with a frown.

Lucas nodded as he agreed with his wife, "the strange thing is he disappeared ever since that incident, and police or anyone in government doesn't have information about him which I think is bull shit. Anyway, I have contacted some people to find him so let's see what happens."

"We have to question him, even if forcefully, to spit out everything he knows," Hilary said with a cold expression.

…

On the other hand, a few more days passed before Zevien finally managed to modify the fairy summoning spell that would help him succeed in his plan.

"Nice work, Zev," Tarto nodded calmly with a faint smile on his cat mouth. He caressed its whiskers one time before speaking, "now, since you are going to reveal them about fairy powers, then might as well use my power right now and transform. Keep it up until you reach 600 magic power because doing so will speed up the recovery and heal your body quickly.

"Alright," Zevien grinned, "since I am done modifying that magic spell, it's time to call everyone, and this is the best way to do it, hahaha."

After saying that, Zevien willed the seed to activate as it started infusing power inside his magic core.

Previously, he couldn't transform or do anything because his magic eidos body and physical body were significantly damaged. If he transformed again in that state, he would likely die instead of recovering. But now that his magic eidos body's foundation had returned to normal with expensive care by the government, Tarto told Zevien to transform and speed up his overall recovery.

…

Since it was early in the morning at 7 AM, Touma was not in the lab, but there was a woman occasionally observing Zevien through cameras from another lab room while working.

This woman was Touma's assistant assigned by the government just recently. Her name was Jinny. She was twenty-six years old with a bit chubby body and big cheeks.

A short turquoise-colored ponytail dangled behind her head as she walked towards a cupboard to put the vial she had just finished processing.

While walking, Jinny glanced at the monitor that showed Zevien and was so startled that she almost dropped the vial.

She saw a pair of black furry cat ears on Zevien's head, three whisker marks on his cheeks, and a cat tail moving like a snake vertically from his back. His nails also became longer, and his eyes had changed to crystalline ruby irises with black patterns and a vertical slit in the middle.

"T-this…what happened to him?" Jinny was confused and shocked, but she didn't waste time and quickly contacted Touma and sent live footage of the camera to him.

Touma was in the class, but after looking at the video footage, he left the academy while sending the messages to Merax, Raven, Blondina, and city lord Cargil.

City lord Cargil was indeed out of the city but not too far. He didn't want to meet Lucas and Hilary before learning about the trump card of Zevien that he would reveal.

So after seeing Touma's message, he also returned to the city.

…

"Hey, what's going on?" Touma asked as soon as he entered the glass chamber. His gaze was filled with intense curiosity as he looked at transformed Zevien, "this shouldn't be your Blood Morphing Art's power since you require blood for it, and you can't get it here."

"Yep," Zevien grinned.

"So what it is?" Touma asked while glancing at the status of Zevien's body on the displays and was startled to see that he was recovering quickly.

"Wait for everyone to arrive, so I only need to explain once," Zevien said, "also, can you drain the liquid and open this glass tube since there's no need for it anymore?"

"Right," Touma nodded, as there was indeed no need for it now that Zevien was recovering quickly after transforming into this humanoid cat form.

Touma opened the glass tube after draining the jelly liquid, which was one of the best healing solutions to recover the foundation of the magic eidos body.

Since arriving here, Zevien's physical body was recovering slowly in contrast to the fast recovery of his magic eidos body because Touma and others focused on healing his magic eidos body first to allow him to use mana. His physical body needed delicate recovery due to how damaged it was.

As such, Zevien's physical body was still a bit strained as he slowly stood up in the glass tube and sat down.

But now that he had transformed, he started recovering his physical body quickly.

*pop…pop…*

One could hear popping sounds as Zevien stretched his arms and neck, "ahh, it feels good to move my body after so many days finally."

Soon, Merax arrived, and then Raven and Blondina, after half an hour.

"Old man is on his way to here. It will take half an hour more, so let's wait," Blondina said while looking at a transformed Zevien curiously.

"Hey, can I touch those ears? I want to see how they feel," Raven curiously moved towards Zevien and stretched her hands towards his ears.

Zevien was speechless and took his head back, "no! You can't touch them. Even Vernisia haven't touched them yet, even though she very much wanted to touch them but couldn't bring herself to say it before."

"Tsk, fine," Raven clicked her tongue, "but you have to let me touch and examine them after your cat-ears lose their virginity by your girlfriend's touch."

Zevien weakly smiled at how Raven worded it, but it sounded strangely suited to the situation.
