Flashback Begin

"This is a dangerous Job, Captain Cloe. Are you sure you can take it?" Asked Seam, Chairman of the Council.

"Why should we send a great and strong Captain like Cloe when a mage was already on the job," asked Org doubtfully.

"Master Org, I know that. But the threat is not to be taken lightly" said Seam.

"Chairman, let me explain the circumstances here," said Yuri and got the full attention of the Council and Cloe.

"A few months back, we got a job requesting the extermination of the Undead. The job quest was from a town known as Malta, a small town in Fiore. The Mayor, Mr Karl, explained everything to me through a communication lacrima when I asked him what was going on. We approved the job and mages started taking it" said Yuri and sighed after that.

"What happened after that?" Asked Org curiously.

"All the mages who went on the job did not return. The mayor slowly started increasing the threat level of the job as this is a normal practice. When a job is not completed by the requested threat level of mage or mages, then the job level will be increased to account for the unforeseen circumstances for such failure. That's how we have normal, S-class and SS-class jobs while the remaining two were because of their incomplete status for the mentioned period of time, may it be 10 years or 100 years" explained Yuri.

"Aren't we missing the main point here, Yuri? Tell us what happened in the Town" asked Yajima.

"Yes. While we are investigating these disappearances, we received a piece of information that made us spit take the situation. Amon, the destroyer, who was responsible for so many other killings was in Malta the whole time. I know you don't know Amon, I ask Councilwoman Belno to explain that" said Yuri and Belno took the stage.

"Amon was a scrawny looking magical creature with a large magic container. We noticed him a few years back. He was found in one of the wrecked towns and we got suspicious of him and kept tabs on him. His magic is a terrifying one. I don't know about its particular nature, but it allows him to take control of anyone, both body and mind. The most terrifying thing is, the more powerful the mage is, the more control he can exert"

"Maybe some kind of possession magic?" Suggested Seam. As a Super Archive magic used, which allows him to store vast amounts of data away to use and transfer information to and from people for various purposes, he knew of the magic in question.

'Possession Magic

The magic allows users to create a ghost-like apparition with their magic that approaches and then engulfs the victim, in reality entering and forcefully possessing the mind. The victim retains all memories and knowledge and may benefit from even more knowledge, like how to use certain Magic. However, their mind and personality becomes warped and corrupted, and can make a kind and strong-willed person into one of extraordinary evil puppet' he recalled from what he knew of the obscure magic.

"Possession Magic you say, Chairman?" Asked Yuri.

"Maybe. But his magic doesn't end there. He uses the body he possesses with some kind of magic which can destroy towns"

"What! He uses the possessed bodies as sacrifices?" Yelled Org in disgust.

"Chairman, I take what is said back, please send Captain Cloe to exterminate Amon" urged Org.

"Yes, I agree. But I didn't think someone could use possession magic this vilely" said Seam.

"Hmm, maybe he uses possession magic and the mage as a sacrifice. Then isn't the mage who went on the job and was in danger. Who went to do that job?" Asked Yajima in haste. The assistant searched through records of jobs and looked at the Council in alarm.

"Sir, it was Mr Naruto!" He exclaimed.

"What! The recently promoted S-class mage, that Naruto?" Asked Org.

"Yes, Sir. From the archives, he took the job and was recently spotted on the way to Malta Town" said the amphibious assistant.

"Do you think he can handle Amon, Yajima?" Asked Seam.
