I think I may have a lead on some important research!

[parasol_hero]

Did you find what you were looking for in the library, Lina?

[boomtoday]

Mr. Fell said that he might be able to pull together relevant materials on demon-sealing. Not my expertise, but I'm determined to learn!

[parasol_hero]

Oh, that's great news! I don't exactly know anything about the subject myself, except that bottles tend to work quite nicely, but it's very useful knowledge in this line of work!

[boomtoday]

...I don't think that Demon Dragon King Gaav can be trapped in a bottle.

[parasol_hero]

The Shadow Evil King Stan was trapped in a bottle regardless of his somewhat impressive-sounding title!

[boomtoday]

So how powerful is Evil King ...Stan.

[parasol_hero]

In his past life, he destroyed half the world before he was defeated by the Great Hero Hopkins!

[boomtoday]

Hmm. Tell me more about this Hero Hopkins, then.

[parasol_hero]

He was a paragon of Heroism and justice! Valiant, determined, very good looking...everything a Hero like myself aspires to be! He slew Gohma, that's Stan's past life, in pitched combat, however, when his reincarnation tried to do the same thing all over again, he trapped him inside Pollack's Bottle!

[boomtoday]

Do you know how he slew him the first time?

[parasol_hero]

Given how he followed his Classification to the letter, and he was my past life, I expect he did it by running him through with his sword. If Gohma's powers were anything like Stan's, he does have some weaknesses that can be exploited.

[boomtoday]

Then we're talking about completely different levels of power here. Physical weapons would have no effect on Gaav.

[parasol_hero]

Oh, dear me...I've only ever fought one adversary who was solely vulnerable to magic, and given how his elemental base is stronger than mine, it's not an ordeal I'd like to repeat!

[boomtoday]

That's what all mazoku are like. Gaav is one of the strongest.

[parasol_hero]

I'm definitely glad not all ghosts and Evil Kings are that way in my world. I expect spells like Powerless wouldn't work very well on a being like Gaav?
