It took several days journey for Ace to reach what used to be the capital of the Alvarez Empire, Vistarion and walked to the graves of the dead Spriggan 12.
The graves of the Spriggan 12 were really honored in a large park, called Heroes Park, near the main palace of Zeref.
It was adorned with statues of Bloodman, God Serena and Wall Eerto when they were alive, all in heroic poses, with each of them having a separate mausoleum in a different area of the large park each.
Apparently, the deaths of Zeref/Spriggan, August, Irene and Larcade were kept a secret. Ace found out that Nienhart was now ruling Vistarion using his Historia of the Dead, using his power to resurrect Zeref to legitimize his rule.
Both Ultear and Minerva stood next to Ace while Kagura protected their backs as they claimed all 3 bodies one by one and kept them in Ace’s requip storage space. They were all dressed in similar cloaks, completely hiding their identities.
With his demon body, his magical power increased by several times, increasing his [Requip] storage space by several times. He had plenty of room for more dead bodies.
Ultear restored the dead bodies of Bloodman, God Serena and Wall to their condition prior to their deaths and prepared to keep them in his Requip dimension.
Just as he was about to do so, the loud clang of a clash of weapons drew Ace’s attention.
“Just what do you think you are doing?” asked a cold voice as Jacob Lessio’s invisible knife was blocked by Kagura as it aimed for Ace’s neck.
“You girls handle him. I’ll keep the bodies” Ace smiled.
The 3 girls nodded, removing their cloaks which stunned the prudish Jacob Lessio. They were completely naked but were wearing masks that looked similar to black pantyhose covering their faces and hair.
Kagura wielded her Archenemy Katana, while Ultear and Minerva’s hands glowed with their individual energies, all completely naked with not a single hair on their gorgeous bodies.
Ace had decided that this would now be their dress code now that they were his playthings. Not only were they extremely powerful, their gorgeous bodies were an extra distraction, giving them a tremendous edge in a fight.
“You can’t…. you are naked…ho..how utterly vulgar” said Jacob as his nose started bleeding, startled and was unable to fight properly due to his prudish nature. He closed his eyes as they attacked him, leaving him with no chance of defending himself.
The fight didn't take long as the 3 girls beat Jacob up badly, making his ugly face even more unrecognizable.
"He's tough, being able to take so much punishment" Kagura said
"What do you expect, he's one of the Spriggan 12. Their power is incredible" Minerva answered.
They donned their cloaks and headed for the palace. Ace wanted to punish Neinhart next.
In the palace, Nienhart was sitting on a chair enjoying a glass of wine.
"It's time you pay for your crimes" came Ace's cold voice
“Who goes there? It was a mistake thinking you would get out of her alive” answered Neinhart, getting out of his chair in alarm.
Just then,the whole room became a scene from hell as jagged rocks shot out from the ground and magma and flames shot out from the floor and walls. Ace used his [Terrain Effect] Magic to attack Neinhart creating confusion and danger from all around the room.
"Wha.. whats going on?" wondered Neinhart aloud as he summoned August and Irene, the two most powerful Spriggan he could create.
Ace cast [Memory Make] copying Neinhart's spell and summoned the exact same two Spriggans August and Irene that faced off with Neinhart's two summoned beings.
"Impossible... impossible" Neinhart said as he trembled in fear. The 4 beings faced off and emanated an immense amount of magical power.
Realizing that it was getting incredibly dangerous, and not a good idea for the two Augusts and Irenes to actually fight each other, Ace suddenly used [Macro] to take control of Neinhart.
Neinhart stood still, stunned that he was no longer in control of his own body. Neinhart’s two Historia of the dead all vanished.
Ace walked out of the shadows with 3 naked girls behind him, much to Neinhart's shock.
Ace walked up to Neinhart and touched him, absorbing his [Historia of the Dead] magic. Ace intended this to be his forth permanent magical power.
"Who.... who are you? What do you want?" asked Neinhart in fear.
“What I want? I want a reckoning…..” Ace said with a evil look in his eye. Neinhart was terrified. Who was this fiend?
Then he causally said “Beat him up, but don’t kill him. I want him to suffer, but not die” he said.
The nude girls nodded and started beating Neinhart up badly. After several minutes of his screams echoing through the palace, his body were black and blue everywhere, with blood coming out of all his orifices with broken bones sticking out of his skin.
Nobody dared to come and rescue him as they assumed that it was Neinhart that was torturing someone else. .
As Nienhart lay bleeding, badly bruised and nearly unrecognizable, Ace looked at him sternly.
“Let this be a lesson to you. You may continue to use your Historia to have Spriggan legitimize your rule. But leave Ishgar alone. You handle your own politics here, but keep it here. I won’t kill you as I think having stability in the region is good for peace” he warned.
They nodded in fear as Ace walked away with his 3 girls in tow. The girls put their cloaks back on and walked obediently behind him. Ace had already made the dead Spriggan 12 members disappear.
He had let the girls vent out his anger at the two of them. He had sworn vengeance on the Spriggan 12
Ace could have easily used Irene’s [Universe One] magic to rearrange the geography and ruin it the way she did with Ishgar. However, he didn’t do so as most of the inhabitants were innocents, much like those in Ishgar.
As they exited the garden, suddenly a loud boom came from afar. As they continued walking, the city seemed to be in chaos and disarray.
From the shouts of the scrambling guards it became clear that the capital was under attack.
“Interesting. I wonder who is attacking” said Ace as he walked with his 3 cloaked subordinates, heading towards the sound of battle.
