Chapter 85 Light and Darkness Combat The Cradle of Fairies III - The Demon King of the Stars
(..."Tenrou Island"?!)
Except for Lucy, a newcomer, all members of Fairy Tail are familiar with the name that represents their guild's holy land.
But isn't "Tenrou Island" a small island located off the coast of "Haruzion"? How could it appear in the forest?!
Looking in the direction of the sound with doubts, the figure that appeared made everyone hold their breath.
Not only was the huge dark aura exuded by the opponent, but also because of the inhuman figure.
"...black...angel?"
Converting the existence she saw into the most intuitive language, Lucy, who was still in a state of shock, unconsciously made a sound of surprise.
In front of the huge ancient tree, there is a black-winged girl with a ribbon wrapped around her head, sitting in mid-air, flipping through the star-colored book in her hand.
…
(Eight people...missing Erza and Gray...)
Zella, who closed the "Star Tome" and concealed her identity in the "Star Spirit Transformation" Demon King state, glanced at the people below and quickly determined how Irene was 'allocated'.
No wonder everyone supports this 'trial plan' so much. It seems that she is not the only one who wants to take this opportunity to make a 'break'.
It's just that Gildarts has seen her in her normal state, and she has used the "elven" reception state many times in this world. In order to avoid the possibility of revealing her identity in advance and disrupting the "script", Zella chose
This appearance that almost no one knew about appeared in front of them.
"Enemy?! You did it! Where are Gray and Erza?!"
With an angry look on his face, Natsu glared murderously at the girl in the sky. Although he always quarreled with Gray and was afraid of Erza's 'education', deep down in his heart he had long regarded the two of them as important family members.
Now that his family is gone, of course he won't endure it.
(Natsu... the kid back then has grown up now... leaving it to Makarov is indeed the right choice...)
Ignoring the hostility that came to her face, Zella smiled slightly nostalgically as she recalled the chance encounter seven years ago. Although based on her birth time, she should be over a hundred years old in this life, but if she were
The flow rate in the "Star Spirit Realm" is actually only over twenty.
However, the time that passes by inadvertently is enough to change many things.
"That guy——!"
Seeing that the other party not only did not answer, but also had a 'ridiculing' look on his face, Natsu, who was worried about his companion, was about to call Hapi to take him up to fly up and speak with his fists.
And he always felt that he had smelled this guy with wings somewhere before.
"...Wait a minute, Natsu."
Holding down an impulsive cherry-haired head, Gildarts finally confirmed that the magic power emitted by the huge ancient tree not far away was consistent with the "Sirius Tree" in his memory.
In other words, everything the mysterious black-winged angel said is true.
(...Is it the reason for that white light just now?!)
After stopping Natsu, Gildarts deduced some of the effects of "Universe One", and then more questions emerged in his mind.
He activated that kind of world-class magic to move "Sirius Island" from the sea to the land. He didn't believe that the other party did it just for fun. There must be some purpose.
Reluctantly putting aside the growing sense of dissonance, the orange-haired super S-class mage focused all his attention on the 'inhuman' in front of him.
Such a pure power of darkness, there was only one existence like this in his impression.
"...You must be the 'Devil' of the 'Book of Zeref'."
"——!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Anything related to Zeref, the black mage, is a symbol of terror and disaster, not to mention the "demon" he created.
"...Could it be that Erza's mother was controlled by this girl!?"
With a brain that loves fantasy, Lucy quickly figured out many details automatically.
What’s even more interesting is that this conclusion seems to be recognized by most of my colleagues.
However, Gildas didn't think that a strong man with that kind of strength would have such a weak mind that he could be easily controlled by others. This was one of the problems he couldn't figure out.
(Damn! There is too little information! Old man...what are you thinking?!)
For him to lead a group of new-generation seedlings to face a "demon" with unfathomable strength, Gildarts felt that the whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.
…
(...Really, do you think of me as a "devil" again?)
This is not the first time that Zeira has been misidentified. Perhaps in normal people's perception, "inhuman darkness" is equated with "demon".
However, the star-spirited girl did not deny it, because this would save her the trouble of making up a story.
If we treat her as a "devil" and attack her, it might be possible to bring out the potential of these young people.
She still has a lot of time before the 'real guest' arrives.
(Then let me see...whether you have grown without the barriers...)
Flying lightly and landing in front of Natsu, the star spirit girl who transformed into the "Demon King" will give the young "fairies" the final trial to the future.
——The outer sea of "Harujion", the original sea area of "Tenrou Island".
"Fran Mars, haven't you found the location of 'Sirius Island' yet?"
In the central control room inside a small island that resembles a cube, the leader of the "Nine Ghost Gate" cadres of "Gate to Hades", Kuanghua "Xing Litian" asked his cadre members again impatiently.
They had already seen their target, but who knew that after a burst of strange white light, the island that was not far away actually disappeared?!
"Oops...According to the information provided by our new companions, there should be no defensive magic circle in this area... How much is it worth to waste so much time? How much is it worth?"
Twitching his one eye in confusion, the chubby demon, "Armor" Franmars kept repeating his weird smile.
"Stop dilly-dallying! Find it quickly!"
"...We have no choice but to use the 'super ancient documents' given to us by our 'partners' to locate it."
Faced with Kuanghua's repeated urging, Franmars had no choice but to tap on the virtual magic circle and unfold the spherical continent map.
"Search for the island with the huge magic tree... Hehehe..."
Seeing his companions begin to reposition themselves, Kuanghua had no choice but to endure and looked at the man standing not far away with a sinister smile.
In order to fill the last vacancy in the "Nine Ghost Gate", the "Pluto" who hates humans made an exception and agreed to Kuanghua's proposal to transform this human traitor into a demon.
"...Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your information?"
"Of course, Lord Kuanghua."
"As long as we have 'that magic power', we can definitely resurrect President 'END' and return to Lord Zeref's command."
With his eyes filled with dark evil energy, Ivan, who was transformed into a demon, extended his sinful hand to his former homeland.
"...Found it! It's actually here! How much is this information worth? How much is it worth? Hehehe!"
The demon with bared teeth and claws began to move forward under the desire of ambition.
