Aidan had learned to wait a long time ago, so time dragged on for him in the usual rhythm, neither fast nor slow, very soon he opened his eyes and left his cave. Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Then he no longer rested, all his attention was directed only to the most important thing.

"Ur ..." - a huge piece of ice appeared right in front of him. Most recently, it was moved to this gigantic grotto. Aidan studied him steadily, he felt people nearby and even out of the corner of his eye noticed Ikaruga, watching from one of the ledge of underground rocks. Leon and his people were talking about something, but Aidan didn't even pay attention to them. For several days he had been staring at the ice sealing Deliora.

"They've got everything ready, haven't they?" - nothing was hidden from his gaze, Aidan had already seen this piece of ice, in the distant lands of Istvan. He had already touched him, since then he had waited so long for this day, the very moment when he could finally begin to collect Ur's soul piece by piece. The wizard quickly got rid of his gloomy thoughts and pulled out a large purple crystal. After visiting Akane, he decided to replace the previous lacrima. A spell has long been cast on it, it remains only to set seals around the entire perimeter of the cave.

After a heavy sigh, Aidan straightened his shirt and rose from his knees. He had waited too long, judging by Ikaruga's information, the Moon Drop Ritual would begin today. With the strength and skills of the sorceress, it was not a problem to track opponents.

"Perhaps it was not a bad decision to accept her ..." - looking at the focused girl in the distance, Aidan nodded slightly, which immediately caused her sweet smile.

"She's strange ... She's really too impressionable. It looks like it's not just my strength, she needs something ... I couldn't use magic to force her to follow me? Maybe she's really good at hiding her hatred. It doesn't seem like ... She's too convincing an actress. In any case, if anyone interrupts my plans, I will bury it alive! " - with an icy gleam in his eyes, Aidan turned his attention to Leon and his henchmen. The ice maker himself hid his face with a horned helmet resembling a kind of skull. This slap hid only half of his face, otherwise you can see his youthful features. After all, Leon was now at most seventeen years old. In his fur cape, he seemed like a dangerous foe, especially with a chilling aura everywhere, but in fact, his cold did not frighten Aidan at all. To him, he seemed no more than a weak child who had barely mastered the faint meaning of ice magic. So he paid no attention to his henchmen at all, a simple bunch of youngsters, two weak magicians and a girl.

After waiting for everyone to leave the dungeon, Aidan finally began to act. In advance, he had installed several hidden magic circles deeper underground in order to prevent ice leakage in the future. Moreover, he completely froze the streams of water and also set restrictions on his black ice. Now it remains to install only the main seal of the spell on the containment ice itself and its base, and later to deeply hide the lacrima.

It was in that order that Aidan began to act. Ikaruga watched as he concentratedly crept up to the huge chunk of glittering ice. Stopping just a couple of steps from him, the magician involuntarily tried to stretch out his hand, but, halfway through, he stopped abruptly and pulled his fingers away:

- I'm sorry ... I don't know if you can feel, but I'm here ... - With a slight smile, the wizard folded a couple of signs with his hands and slapped his palms on the ground:

- Perfect Seal of the Heavenly Queen! - instantly blue letters scattered around the ground, Aidan quickly gathered his thoughts in order, folded his right hand into a fist and directed his left palm towards a huge piece of ice: - Belt of Heavenly Accomplishments! - all the letters on the ground immediately trembled and flew up sharply, quickly gathering into a ring, which then split into three and fastened with a belt on the ice, sealing Delior. The letters flashed brightly for the last time and became invisible. The first part of the plan was successfully completed.

Aidan let out a long breath and smiled.

"Thank you Mavis, this method is more complicated, but with it I am many times calmer ..." - even though in the past he had learned one spell, but as it turned out he had some drawbacks. When Mavis pointed them out, luckily she showed a more powerful spell. That is why, the seal will gradually hold the ice together and the Moon Drop will generally not harm it. By holding the ice together, this seal allowed the ice to move in the desired direction that the user indicated. Mavis didn't know how to separate the soul, but she came up with a way to separate and place absolutely everything in the right lacrima. Therefore, in fact, thanks to this seal, the ice in any case will be attracted to the right place, like a magnet, not a single drop will be wasted.

Aidan didn't settle for that, he cast a few more spells and covered almost the entire cave. He did not want to miss a piece or a grain of ice, in which the remnants of Ur's soul could remain. Following this, he pulled out the key of the Virgin and immediately summoned her.

A beautiful girl materialized in the bright starry glare right in front of him. She immediately put her hand on her chest and bowed:

- Master.

He already knew a way to encourage her to do quality work ...

`` I will punish you if you dig the ground and set this lacrima deeper, '' stretching out a large sparkling crystal, Aidan touched his forehead and his fingers immediately sparkled, then moving them to the purple mineral, he whispered:

- Heavenly connection. - suddenly, three discs surrounding Deliora's ice flashed with blue lights and several letters immediately separated from him, quickly flying into the surface of the purple lacrima.

Having finished with this, the magician handed it over to the Virgo.

- Will you really punish? She asked, calmly examining the stone in her hands. - Don't worry, I keep my word.

- And how deep?

- About twenty meters.

- Wow! - the girl's eyes suddenly sparkled, and Aidan understood something and darkened sharply:

- Stop it. Now there is no time for your jokes. Dig twenty meters!

- Wow, Master you are so boring ... - the maiden pursed her lips and abruptly began to dig deeper.

Aidan's eyebrow continued to twitch.

"Again she caught me ... Here is a small one!"

Suddenly, a beautiful silhouette appeared next to Aidan, the claps of her loose clothes immediately attracted his attention and he could involuntarily enjoy the wonderful views of slender legs.

Ikaruga smiled sweetly and feigned embarrassment.

- What are you doing, sir ...

- Hmm, not only your hair is pink ... Are you a sister of the Star Spirit?

- Oh, I don't have a sister, but my baby will definitely be cute! - Smiling strangely, Ikaruga continued to blush.

"Oh, and what is going on with them ..." - Aidan sighed and waved his hand, he did not intend to continue this conversation..
