[Host, would you like to collect the Time Stop Magic attribute?]
Hearing the system prompt, Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately answered, 'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the Time Stop Magic attribute beside Dimaria instantly transformed into a golden rune and converged directly towards Kenichi.
After the golden rune merged into Kenichi's body, the words [Time Stop] appeared in the Magic column on the virtual screen before him.
'Finally got it!' Although Kenichi's current strength was enough to even kill Acnologia, obtaining an ability that could stop time still filled him with great joy.
Kenichi looked at the Time Stop magic attribute on the virtual screen and clenched his fist tightly. 'Next, only August's Instant Copy Magic remains!'
Although the remaining Spriggan 12 members, like Larcade's Pleasure Magic and Jacob's Assassination Magic, were also quite powerful magics, Kenichi wasn't particularly interested in them.
Right now, what interested Kenichi the most was only August's Instant Copy Magic.
Eight years ago, when Kenichi was still on the Western Continent, he had wanted to obtain August's Instant Copy Magic attribute.
After all, the system's drop rate for magic attributes was only one-fifth.
But August's Instant Copy Magic could instantly copy any magic as soon as someone used it.
Compared to the system's one-fifth probability, August's Instant Copy Magic was much more convenient.
Unfortunately, Kenichi hadn't found August back then on the Western Continent.
Now that August had come to Ishgar with the Alvarez Empire's army, Kenichi naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"You...!" Just as Kenichi was thinking about August's Instant Copy Magic, Dimaria's furious voice reached his ears.
Kenichi withdrew his thoughts and looked up. He saw that Dimaria, who had been controlled by the Ice Slave magic, had now regained her senses and was struggling, seemingly trying to break the ice shackles.
"As expected of one of the Spriggan 12!" Seeing that Dimaria could briefly break free from the Ice Slave's control, Kenichi couldn't help but praise.
He remembered when he used this Ice Slave Magic to control Angel of the Oracion Seis, Angel had been under his control the entire time.
But now, Dimaria had regained her rationality just seconds after being controlled by Kenichi.
This comparison showed that Dimaria was much more powerful than Angel.
"Brandish, aren't you going to help?!" After struggling fruitlessly, Dimaria could only turn to the gleefully watching Brandish for help in frustration.
"Eh? You need my help? Didn't you say you hated me?" Brandish tilted her head and asked Dimaria.
Although Brandish said that, her actions weren't slow.
Under the effect of Brandish's Command T, the ice shackles on Dimaria's hands and neck instantly enlarged many times over.
Once freed from the restraints of the ice shackles, Dimaria stared at Kenichi with hatred.
Hate was one thing, but she knew she was no match for Kenichi.
Her proud Time Stop was useless against him.
And ordinary attacks would probably just be nullified.
For the moment, Dimaria could only grit her teeth and glare at Kenichi.
In contrast, Brandish remained composed from start to finish, showing no sense of being a captive at all.
Of course, this was just related to Brandish's lazy personality.
Kenichi glanced at Brandish, shook his head, and then his figure instantly vanished from the different dimension.
The next second, when Kenichi reappeared, he was already in the real world, on the magic airship.
"Kenichi!" Seeing Kenichi suddenly appear, Erza immediately came forward.
"Erza, I need to leave for a while. You take Wendy and Mira back to the guild first," Kenichi turned and said to Erza.
"Did something happen?" Seeing that Kenichi was leaving, Erza asked with some concern.
"Don't worry. I'm just going to deal with August of the Spriggan 12."
"The Magic King?" Erza's pretty face shifted slightly.
During the waiting period before the Alvarez Empire's invasion, Erza had also learned some intelligence about the Spriggan 12.
This included information about the Magic King, August.
Erza knew that August was proficient in over a thousand types of magic and was extremely powerful.
If anyone else were to face August, Erza would definitely be worried for them.
But for Kenichi, Erza still had plenty of confidence.
"I understand. We will handle the enemies in Magnolia!" Erza looked at Kenichi and nodded.
Then, under Erza's gaze, Kenichi summoned the Steel Dragon.
Without any hesitation, he leaped onto the Steel Dragon's back and rode it directly up into the sky.
Kenichi was looking for August, of course, to collect his Instant Copy Magic attribute.
Naturally, if the system dropped other magic attributes from August, Kenichi wouldn't refuse either.
After all, August was a veritable library of magic.
Lost Magics, Ancient Magics… he could use them all effortlessly.
Although Kenichi had never met August before, finding him was actually very simple.
After all, August's magical power stood out even among the Spriggan 12.
And probably only Kenichi on the entire Ishgar Continent possessed more magical power than August.
Right now, Kenichi just needed to activate his Sensory Magic and find the largest magical reaction, and that would undoubtedly be August.
"There are two other strong magical reactions near August. They should be God Serena and the Assassin, Jacob." Standing on the Iron Dragon's back, Kenichi located August and also detected two other Spriggan 12 members near him.
"Hmm?" Soon, Kenichi also detected four relatively strong magical reactions not far from August.
Although these four reactions couldn't compare to August and the other two, they were no weaker than Makarov's.
In fact, three of them were even stronger than Makarov's magical power.
Instantly, a name came to Kenichi's mind: The Four Gods of Ishgar.
When Kenichi carefully sensed them, he found that among these four strong magical reactions, two were familiar to him.
One was Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints.
The other was Warrod Sequen, who had once commissioned a task to Kenichi.
After identifying Jura and Warrod, Kenichi became even more certain that the other two reactions were the remaining two of the Four Gods of Ishgar.
"I see. So the Four Gods of Ishgar are preparing to fight God Serena?"
