Cheat Ability

Cain also discovered that the Brilliant Radiance on his chest had not disappeared. It simply remained there quietly.

Every moment, strands of pure energy flowed out from within it and were absorbed by his body.

Cain was neither surprised nor shocked by this, because ever since Holy Light Magic had awakened, he had known what was going on.

Holy Light Magic—or rather, Holy Magic—was indeed magic formed after absorbing a god's blessing.

Holy Magic also possessed its own miraculous trait. Cain believed it was no less impressive than Dragon Slayer Magic's ability to absorb energy of the same attribute to replenish one's own magic power.

Cain did not know about other types of Holy Magic, but his Holy Light Magic could Purification anything harmful to him.

Moreover, the purified substances could be absorbed by the human body to strengthen one's physique and increase magic power.

And these harmful substances were not limited to toxins such as viral spores. Even the Demon Factor that the Magic Development Bureau had injected into his body before could be purified.

"I knew it. How could a transmigrator possibly not have a cheat ability?"

After understanding the traits of Holy Light Magic, Cain thought happily to himself and finally let go of his obsession with the system.

After transforming into an angel, he had absorbed all ninety-eight green pillars of light and stored them within the Brilliant Radiance. He wondered how much magic power that would add to him.

He was definitely S-Class now. It seemed he would need to take on more jobs next. Since he had transmigrated into Fairy Tail, he could not possibly fail to become an S-Class Mage.

It was like transmigrating into Naruto and not becoming a genin, transmigrating into Bleach and not doing a Soul Reaper's work, or transmigrating into the Qing Dynasty and not rebelling.

That simply would not do.

Just as Cain's thoughts drifted elsewhere, Erza's voice rang out. "Cain, we're here."

"Ah, already?"

Cain looked outside and realized they had arrived in Magnolia. It felt like he had only just gotten on the train.

After leaving the station, Cain looked at the familiar streets and familiar figures, then said contentedly,

"Magnolia is still the most comfortable place."

Erza nodded in agreement.

Looking at Erza's enormous luggage cart, Cain once again considered getting some storage equipment. But what kind of vessel should he use?

Hmm, something with spatial properties would be best. But did such ore really exist? He could look through the guild's records or ask the guild master after they returned.

The closer they got to Fairy Tail, the more excited Cain became.

Although he had only been in Mудorud for a little over a month, so many things had happened that it felt as though a very long time had passed.

"I'm back!"

Cain pushed open the guild doors and shouted inside.

The previously noisy guild fell silent for a moment before erupting into an enthusiastic welcome.

"Cain, I heard you tore down the viscount's mansion this time?"

"Your news is outdated. I heard Cain nearly destroyed half of Mудorud."

"I also heard you beat the kingdom army and the Magic Council's troops until they knelt and begged for mercy. Just what you'd expect from a Fairy Tail Mage."

Cain felt a little embarrassed by their words. It was true that he had demolished the viscount's mansion, but when had he destroyed half of Mудorud? It had clearly only been one-tenth.

Mудorud was five times as large as Magnolia.

And when had he beaten the kingdom army and the Magic Council's troops until they knelt and begged for mercy? Why did he not know about that?

Cain walked straight over to Makarov and discovered that he was not drinking. That was truly astonishing.

"Guild Master, I'm back."

However, Makarov merely stared blankly ahead and did not respond. Cain waved a hand in front of the guild master's eyes, but there was still no reaction.

Cain turned to Macao and Wakaba beside him. "What happened to the guild master?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

At Cain's words, the two of them did not even bother drinking the liquor at their lips and burst into loud laughter.

Seeing that everyone else in the guild was acting the same way, Cain and Erza exchanged bewildered looks. Had something happened while they were gone these past few days?

With malicious amusement, Cain wondered if Laxus had brought home a child and declared that Makarov was going to become a grandfather.

After laughing for a long while, Macao finally stopped and said, "Didn't the guild master hear that you leveled the viscount's mansion and half of Mудorud?"

"He's been calculating how much compensation he'll have to pay. He hasn't even touched alcohol since two days ago, and he's been like this ever since."

"Ahem, Mудorud was only damaged by one-tenth at most, not half. Those are just rumors."

Cain corrected Macao's mistake.

When he heard that only one-tenth of Mудorud had been damaged, Makarov's eyes twitched. Trembling, he said,

"Good, good. Only one-tenth."

At that moment, Wakaba added gleefully, "Guild Master, I heard there were many antiques inside the viscount's mansion. Those must be worth quite a lot, right?"

Those words were like an arrow piercing Makarov's heart.

Looking at the guild master standing there stiffly, Cain thought that if this were a manga, the guild master should have turned into a gray-white stone statue and cracked apart completely.

It would have been even better if a wisp of soul floated out afterward.

"Ahem." Cain cleared his throat and said, "Guild Master, actually, Viscount Livina and Mудorud's mayor said I don't need to compensate them."

"What? You... you said there's no... compensation?"

Makarov looked at Cain in shock, thinking he had misheard.

"Yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask Erza. She was right there at the time."

Makarov looked at Erza with hopeful eyes. Erza nodded, indicating that everything Cain had said was true.

"Ah~ This is truly wonderful!"

After confirming that the news was true, Makarov immediately performed a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree Armstrong Cyclone.

Tears in his eyes glittered under the sunlight.

Judging by the guild master's expression, he was very happy—so happy that he had cried.

After Makarov's excited emotions calmed slightly, he immediately raised his cup. "To celebrate Cain and Erza's safe return, the party begins!!!"

"Ooooooh!!!"

"Party time!!"

"Awesome!"

That night, at home.

Cain lay in the large bathtub, the warm water like soft little hands gently soothing every part of his body.

Although the pure energy flowing from the Brilliant Radiance continuously nourished his body and kept it in peak condition,

Mental exhaustion could not be relieved by magic power.

"Cain, give me a massage too."

"Oh, sure—wait, Erza, why are you here?"

Cain answered instinctively, then realized something was wrong. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw Erza with her hair tied up, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting on a small stool beside the bathtub.

Erza looked at Cain strangely, as if asking why she could not be there.

Cain covered himself with one hand and said, "Didn't I tell you before, Erza? Men and women should keep their distance. You can't let others see your body."

"Mm, I know. Look."

Erza pointed at the bath towel around her body, indicating that she had listened.

Cain opened his mouth, then explained the matter between men and women in greater detail.

Erza suddenly understood. "Oh, I see. I understand now."

Seeing that Erza finally understood, Cain let out a sigh of relief. That girl really was far too carefree.
