Chapter 5

My last day in Avalon arrived all too soon, in the meanwhile Morgan taught me the basics of the human magic system made by OG Merlin.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the lewd way and she had fun seeing my disappointed expression.

Arthur gave me some books about swordsmanship while saying I shouldn't let anyone from his family know unless I am marrying someone from the family.

That guy knows how to raise flags...

With my goodbyes finished I just needed to take my gear from Vivian and leave this place.

So I was given a Gnome guide who didn't bother to speak with me and he guided me to the lake Vivian likes to call home.

This was actually the first time I was traversing Avalon, I was warned by Morgan to not stare at anything and just follow my guide but the parts I saw was enough for me.

It reminded me of Twilight Forest from that Minecraft mod... I didn't play it but I had watched it on YouTube back in the day.

After an uncertain time of walking, we arrived at the lake where Vivian resides, it is located in the middle of the forest painting a nice view.

Arriving at the edge of the lake my Gnome guide left, while I was contemplating about whether if I should go in the lake Vivian herself rose from it.

"It seems time has come." She said solemnly like she was sending a warrior to war.

"Yes."

"Very well, here's your payment." Vivian made a gesture with her hand making my outfit rise out of the water, hopefully, they'll be dry...

Looking at them I can see the enchantments on them, it is mostly magic amplifiers and magic defense because Magicians of this world don't get close and personal.

I wish I had specified the enchantments... Well, I can change them on my own later on.

"I hope you will deliver your part of the deal." I nodded to her before touching the clothes turning them into motes of light before they got embedded in my soul.

"They're soul bound, like your staff. I even added that sword you brought back in it. The staff itself doubles your power output, so you should get used to it before picking fights."

"I don't think I will be getting in a fight willingly for a while." Just because I can drown a person in razor-sharp petals doesn't mean I want to do it.

"I am afraid it is inevitable for you. My sources told me that the church is already looking for you." She replies with a frown before she schooled her expression.

"If they made the information public then the rest of the supernaturals must be looking for me as well, after all my 'ancestor' was a big deal." I groaned, I knew that hiding wasn't an option but there's a difference between information leak and making it public.

"Exactly, now what are you going to do young mage?" Vivian almost looked amused at my situation.

"I have an idea, I just need to reach the familiar forest." I mutter while a plan forms in my head.

Yeah, that's totally doable if not I have my plan B.

"Hmm, very well I can help you on that part, don't worry I am not asking anything for it."

"Thank you for your assistance." I bowed in respect as Vivian covered me in water and teleported me to Underworld.

...

I found myself in a lake near Water Spirits which scared me for a second before I trapped them in vines, I can't really kill them for looking ugly.

Although I wonder how they get lingerie or do they buy it? Then how? I don't see how anyone would take them as familiars...

Damn Vivian knew exactly where to teleport me. I will remember this when I go back to give the pieces back.

Once I put the horrors of nature behind me I dried my new clothes and used a simple spell to grow out my hair because I look better that way.

For my plan to work I need all my charm. [Plan: Get Tiamat as a familiar] is a go!

First I will throw Issei under the bus and offer his useless ass to her, she can train him herself to repay for her treasure.

After all, I am asking her help to protect me from Gods and Super Devils like Sirzechs, I can handle the rest with my magic and once I join Golden Dawn on top of this I should be pretty secure on the political side of things.

Then again I need to lay low as much as I can to ensure Kokabiel goes along with his plans.

I am hoping to appeal to her greed to get a familiar contract out of her that will give me political standing enough that people won't casually hunt me down like some rouge sacred gear user just in case she won't accept my proposal.

If that doesn't work I can only hope she would fall for me on the spot, I am a Harem Protagonist after all that kind of stuff happens a lot.

...

I asked Tiamat's location to the trees nearby, it was hard to believe that they're still alive despite looking dead but they live.

Yes, I can talk to trees. After following their directions I noticed her signature which is the largest I have yet to see.

She's stronger than Vivian who's stronger than the Pendragon siblings.

Unfortunately, she seems to be fighting someone who has a chaotic presence, getting near the battlefield revealed that person to be a devil.

"Just sign the damn contract lizard!" Random mob yells as he fires volleys of demonic energy bullets.

Hmm I can copy the spells he is shooting and but it turns them into human system spells like a mana bullet but I can't copy Demonic Energy itself. It seems I need to get a sample from someone.

"Another arrogant young master, leave if you want to live, I am missing my TV show."

"Not until you sign this..." Poor guy couldn't finish it because Tiamat turned him into a paste, then she turned towards me.

"So, why are you here?" Asks the gigantic blue western dragon.

"Ah, it can wait, please go watch your show I need to inspect the body before it turns to dust." I point out the former devil.

"Suit yourself."

Once Tiamat left I went near the meat paste and sucked a piece from the lingering demonic energy into my reactor making it capable of producing it.

This right here solves most of my problems.

<Structural Grasp> I imagine the result and pour my newly acquired energy into the spell while aiming at a tree nearby.

The result showed me some information about the tree which is normal for this spell but the main kicker is that I can turn this into a spell that will work for the human magic system.

'This opens so many possibilities that I doubt I can cover them all.'

"Interesting... if you're done playing come in child." Tiamat's voice reached my ears like I thought she couldn't keep her curiosity to herself.

I am not revealing too much since everyone would have expectations for bullshit like this just being Merlin and this will be in my favor while negotiating.

Taking a breath I entered the lair of the dragon.
