In the early morning, the golden sunlight illuminated Magnolia, which had been sleeping all night. The bloody moonlight was dispersed, and under the sunshine, the residents of Magnolia walked out of their homes one after another and looked in the direction of the Fairy Tail Guild.
On the golden streets, heavily armed Fairy Tail members were gathering from all directions, passing by the residents of Magnolia who were watching them one by one, and greeted the familiar residents with smiles on their faces.
He didn't look like he was about to participate in a life-or-death battle.
In the past few days, all the intelligent beings in the entire Fairy Tail world knew what was about to happen. Countless humans around the world, like the residents of Magnolia, were watching the major crowns and the Magisters Guild continue to
gather.
"Huh~ I finally came back at the end, what a risk!"
At this time, in front of the city gate of Magnoria, a very embarrassed Natsu looked at the city gate in front of him panting, with an expression of great joy on his face, after learning about the mission a few days ago.
The Fire Dragon King Dragneel in Natsu's body suddenly made a sound, asking Natsu to leave Magnolia and go to a place where the sleeping power in Natsu's body was awakened by Dragneel, and the terrifying power impacted Natsu.
Zi's body instinctively fell into a deep sleep, adapting to the new power.
It wasn't until dawn this morning that Natsu slowly woke up. Then he learned from Habib that he had been sleeping for several days and that today was the beginning of the mission, so he hurried back to Magnolia.
"Hey! Natsu, you're finally back. I thought you were scared and hiding?"
At this time, Gray's figure came out from behind the city gate, clasping his hands on his chest and looking at Natsu who was panting in front of him with a smile. A faint icy blue mist was filling the air around his body.
"Who would be hiding!"
Natsu yelled with burning eyes, then raised his head and stared at Gray in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up when he saw the icy blue mist floating around him.
Even if he didn't take action, just from the cold and biting feeling that Gray gave him now, Natsu knew that not only had his strength greatly increased in the past few days, but Gray had not fallen behind either, and his strength had increased as much as him.
Thinking of this, Natsu walked towards Gray step by step, intending to test his current power with his old rival. Gray on the opposite side had the same idea as Natsu. The terrifying magic power fluctuations became looming, and the air around him instantly
is frozen.
Kaka!
Wisps of ice spread along the soles of Gray's feet towards Natsu, but as they approached Natsu, they began to squeak, melting continuously from the flames on Natsu's body, and pure white water vapor continued to rise.
"Love! Natsu, Gray, do you want to be hammered by Erza for eating?"
Just when Natsu and Gray were about to fight, Habi quickly flew in front of the two of them, and the kitten paws stood in front of them respectively, saying, "I'm just reminding you, if you want to hit you, you can continue, but the consequences of Erza's anger will be
conceited.
"Well, Hubby, we have to go back to the guild quickly now."
Natsu and Gray looked at each other, and both of them felt a dull pain in their heads at the same time. It was the place where Erza's skull was crushed by her punch after angering Erza. Then the two of them chose to stop in unison.
"like!"
Seeing this, Habi nodded, waving his wings and flew towards Magnolia. Nazgrave quickly followed behind him. After passing the gazes of many Magnolia residents, the Fairy Tail Guild
appear in front of you.
At this time, all the guild members gathered in front of the Fairy Tail Guild, and everyone smiled when they saw Natsu and Gray approaching.
"I just said that these two guys will definitely not be late and will definitely come back at the last moment!"
"You must be afraid of being late and having your skull crushed by Erza!"
The members of Fairy Tail looked at the two people walking towards each other with sunshine on their bodies with smiles on their faces. No member of Fairy Tail had any doubt that they would come back.
At most, it's just a bet on whether they will be late.
"Natsu, Gray, welcome back. It seems that you have improved a lot in the past few days, and what makes me most gratified is that you can finally live together peacefully."
Erza looked at Natsu and Gray walking side by side in front of her and stepped forward to greet them. With a satisfied smile on her face, she felt deeply pleased that her hard work since childhood had finally yielded good results.
These two guys can finally get along.
"Yes!"
"Erza, you are right, we are good brothers!"
Natsu and Gray hugged each other as soon as they saw Erza approaching. They looked like good brothers and stammered. They couldn't see the way they almost got into a fight in front of the city gate.
.
After all, the psychological shadows that have persisted since childhood are not so simple to come out of. Even now that their strength has greatly increased, the two of them have no confidence at all to dare to resist Erza, the great demon king since they were young.
"Yeah! Since you have such a good relationship, I feel relieved about the next battle."
Erza became even happier when she saw Natsu and Gray hugging each other in front of her. She hugged the two of them hard, and there was a crisp sound when the two heads hit the armor, and you could even vaguely hear the sound of skulls cracking.
"Let's go, it's time for us to set off. The Loris Guild will be left to you."
At this time, Laxus stepped forward and looked at his companions who were about to rush to the battlefield with him, then turned around and looked at the remaining Fairy Tail members and smiled softly.
Everything that needs to be explained has been said during this period, and the rest is just a matter of trusting them, and Laxus is also prepared for them all to die on the battlefield if they cannot come back.
Then Lawris will become the next generation of Fairy Tail Guild Leader, taking over their responsibilities, passing on the Fairy Tail Guild, and when she has enough power in the future, she can bring back their family members who have embarked on the wrong path.
"President and everyone else, you must come back alive!"
Luo Lisi stepped forward and hugged each of her companions who were about to go to the battlefield, and then looked at the people flying towards the endless mountains under the leadership of Laxus with tears in her eyes.
Under the sun, the remaining Fairy Tail members put their hands on their chests and lowered their heads to pray for their companions, praying that they could bring Lu Qiming and the others back to the Fairy Tail guild alive and back to their common home!
In the town of Magnolia, many residents also prayed for the Fairy Tail members heading to the battlefield, praying that they could successfully complete their mission and save their world as they had always done.
Scenes like this continue to appear in every part of the continent. All residents of the entire continent are watching the soldiers who are about to embark on the battlefield, praying to successfully save the world.
At this time, if you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the entire continent is a stream of people moving in the same direction, and the streams of people are gathering together.
Enemies who were once life-and-death enemies now smile at each other when they meet each other. The dark and light magician guilds no longer have the hostility they had before, restraining each other and heading in the same direction.
Time passed slowly, the sun in the sky kept moving, and the sun disappeared little by little. When the earth was covered by the bloody moonlight, the last group of teams flew into the kingdom territory outside the Endless Mountains.
At this time, compared to the three kingdoms that had become sparsely populated due to the continuous erosion of the elemental vortex a week ago, countless magicians and warriors from the kingdoms gathered here, and it looked like an endless sea of people.
Almost all the beings with fighting power in the entire continent gathered here. Whether it was the top ten holy magicians who were only famous and unknown to anyone in the past, or an ordinary soldier, they were all gathered in the same place now.
At the same time, there is a steady stream of magical war weapons and supplies on the road. It can be said that anything useful for this war is being sent here.
Just as the soldiers of the major kingdoms and members of the Magisters' Guild were recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's general attack, in the center of this sea of people, in a huge tent, the leaders of the major kingdoms and the guild presidents gathered here.
"Cyan Pegasus, first tell me how much the 'Elemental Vortex' has grown during this period?"
In the tent, the king of the most powerful kingdom in the northern continent raised his head and looked at the president of the Cyan Pegasus Guild opposite. He was the first kingdom to arrive here today. When he came here, he found that compared with the previous information that had just spread to
The 'Elemental Vortex' on the edge of the Endless Mountains has swallowed up most of the three kingdoms on the edge of the Endless Mountains in less than a week.
And this is just here. In the other three directions of the Endless Mountains, several small kingdoms have been swallowed up.
"Um!"
The guild leader of the Cyan Pegasus Guild nodded and stood up, looking at the people gathered here. With a solemn expression on his face, he took a deep breath and began to tell the information he had compiled earlier.
"According to the intelligence collected by our guild members and the news from the other three directions, the 'Elemental Vortex' has expanded tenfold in this week, and its devouring power has also increased simultaneously.
At present, most of the three kingdoms where we are located have been swallowed up. In addition, a large number of ordinary residents have been swallowed by the 'Elemental Vortex' because they were too short of time to evacuate. There are currently no people who have been swallowed by the 'Elemental Vortex'.
come out.
In addition, in the other three directions, the same situation has also occurred. More than five kingdoms have been completely swallowed up, and more than twenty kingdoms have been affected."
"So much! How could it grow so fast? According to our estimates, it will take at least five days for the 'Elemental Vortex' to grow to this extent!"
A king who had personally observed the 'Elemental Vortex' before stood up and looked at the Cyan Pegasus Guild Leader in disbelief. His kingdom was not far from the three kingdoms. If it continues like this.
In a few days at most, the 'elemental vortex' that has completely swallowed up the three kingdoms will spread to your own kingdom.
"There is human intervention! Those who created the 'Elemental Vortex' are accelerating its growth. They even don't bother to hide it from us and appear in front of us openly!"
The leader of the Cyan Pegasus Guild explained with a solemn expression that when he and the others were relocating the civilians who were about to be affected, he even saw several figures appearing in the sky above the 'Elemental Vortex'.
Subsequently, the already rapidly growing 'Elemental Vortex' suddenly accelerated its growth rate, and it was precisely because of this that a large number of ordinary residents of the three kingdoms were not relocated.
Even he tried his best to escape from being swallowed by the 'Elemental Vortex'.
"Human intervention, how can such a thing be possible? You must know that once close to the 'element vortex', the magic power in the body will be continuously devoured, let alone appear on it?"
A group of kings and guild masters all looked at the cyan Pegasus guild master in disbelief, but looking at his solemn expression, they also knew that he was not lying. This incident was true in 1989, and it just explained it.
Why does the 'Elemental Vortex' grow beyond expectations?
"We have to speed up. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us!"
At this time, the guild leader of Witch's Sin stood up and said with a serious face, if someone can really interfere with the growth of the 'Elemental Vortex', then if they delay it and wait for the 'Elemental Vortex' to grow again, their chances of winning will be
will be greatly reduced.
The most important thing is that if someone is not careful and the 'Elemental Vortex' grows rapidly again and directly swallows the place where they are now, then except for a few top magicians, the rest will be swallowed by the 'Elemental Vortex'.
When it comes time to destroy the 'Elemental Vortex' and eliminate the people behind it, everyone can only flee back in despair, taking their families to the farthest place from the 'Elemental Vortex' to try to survive for a while longer.
"President Bob, have you seen what those people who interfered with the 'Elemental Vortex' look like?"
At this time, Laxus stood up and looked at the leader of the Cyan Pegasus Guild and asked, with a hint of hidden worry in his eyes, because the person behind this matter, Laxus, knew better than anyone else sitting here, and he also knew that they would find out.
consequences you will face later.
So Laxus must know whether the Cyan Pegasus Guild Leader has seen clearly who is interfering with the growth of the 'Elemental Vortex'.
"I don't know. At that time, I was only focused on escaping and didn't see clearly."
The leader of the Cyan Pegasus Guild looked at Laxus and shook his head gently. In fact, he saw clearly who it was at that time, and even knew who that person was, but as a person who had been allied with Fairy Tail since its inception
's guild.
Bob also knew the consequences of telling this matter, so he chose to conceal it and ask Laxus later, but he had already guessed the general details of the matter.
After all, this time, only Laxus and the others came to Fairy Tail for such an important mission. The strongest Fairy Tail members like Mebis, Zera, Makarov, and Yuri were not here, which meant something.
.
"Um."
Laxus looked at the appearance of the Cyan Pegasus Guild Leader and understood something. He nodded vaguely towards him and then sat down silently, calmly looking at the people who were discussing again.
For half an hour, everyone decided to recuperate tonight and let many soldiers have a good rest. Early tomorrow morning, led by the top magicians, they would directly launch a general attack and directly destroy the 'Elemental Vortex' with force, and then find the person behind the scenes.
"By the way, have you ever considered how to destroy the 'Elemental Vortex'? Once the magic comes close to it, it will be forcibly converted into pure elemental power and absorbed."
At this time, the leader of the Sword-biting Tiger Guild asked. It was not that they had not tried to use magic to directly destroy the 'Elemental Vortex' before, but no matter what kind of magic came close, it would be forcibly transformed and swallowed by the 'Elemental Vortex'.
There is absolutely no way.
"Leave this matter to us."
Zeref, who was wearing the emperor's costume, raised his head slightly and said that after learning about the 'Elemental Vortex' before, he knew that Lu Qiming must have done it, although he didn't understand why he did it.
But Zeref will never allow anyone to destroy this world, because now there are people he cares about in this world, whether it is his brother Natsu or the people under his governance.
Therefore, for this reason, Zeref created a brand new magic material based on the various magic knowledge he has collected over countless years, which can completely isolate the devouring power from the outside.
In other words, Zeref can wrap the magic prepared in advance with this material and then make various magic bombs.
During this period of time, Zeref has told other kingdoms on the continent about this material, and all the major kingdoms have been working hard to prepare this kind of elemental bomb, which together is enough to blow up the 'Elemental Vortex'.
As for why the magicians' guild was not told, after all, the power that a guild can mobilize is not at the same conceptual level as that of an entire kingdom. Of course, the kind of magicians who control the entire kingdom does not count.
The reason why the Swordbite Tiger Guild doesn't know about it is simply because their guild is that kind of weak guild. They don't have the qualifications or reason to let them know, because there is no use if they know.
"Ah la la, it's so lively. Are you talking about something interesting? Can you let us join in?"
Suddenly, a dark crack appeared above the table in front of everyone. Countless strange blood-colored pupils in the crack stared maliciously at everyone present, and then a girl with long blond hair and a long dress walked out with a smile on her face, holding a parasol.
Next to her, there was a ghost with short pink hair and an adorable look on his face, chewing on a piece of barbecue. The rich fragrance floated around in the air, and everyone who smelled it swallowed their saliva.
The perfect fragrance aroused their endless appetite just by smelling it. If the current situation was not suitable, many of the kings present would have started to want to buy something to eat from the ghost.
"Who are you and how did you get in?"
The next second, Sitting opposite Yakumo Purple, the suffering master Onaswit IV, who had been forcibly borrowed the treasure house by Yakumo Purple before, stood up and pointed at Yakumo Purple and asked, you know, this place is full of all kinds of magic.
Barrier, but the mysterious guy in front of him appeared easily without touching any magic.
This situation, for some reason, made Onaswit IV and the kings of certain kingdoms present feel strangely familiar. It seemed as if they had experienced this situation not long ago.
"Ah la la, how could you forget about us so quickly? You clearly issued a mission to arrest us before?"
Yakumo Purple lowered her head slightly and looked at Onaswit IV in front of her, looking at him with a half-smile, and by the way, she took out a magic book that she had taken away from a certain kingdom's treasure house.
"It's you, you are the monster sage Yakumo Murasaki, you shameless thief!"
In an instant, a king not far away roared as he looked at the familiar magic book in Yakumo Murasaki's hand. The other suffering kings on the side also reacted and took action without hesitation.
All kinds of magic were directed at Yakumo Purple. Now they no longer cared about whether this was a conference room or whether it would affect others. There was only one thing they wanted to do.
That is to catch this shameless thief who forcibly stole the treasure of his own kingdom, recover what was stolen from him, and maybe also collect the treasures of other kingdoms.
"Ah la la, don't be so enthusiastic. That's not why we came here this time. Besides, we said we were just borrowing it, and I promise with my integrity that I will return it to you in the future."
Yakumo Purple looked at the flying magic and waved the fan in her hand. In an instant, all the magic that was close at hand stopped. However, if you look closely, you will find that those magics are still moving forward, but the space has been stretched infinitely.
.
"Stop, what exactly do you want to do here, and can you do that 'Elemental Vortex'?"
At this time, Bobu, the leader of the Cyan Pegasus Guild, stopped others who wanted to take action. He turned to look at Yakumo Murasaki and asked, did he not believe this monster sage who was wanted by the entire mainland kingdom and was secretly known as the 'biggest treasure house'?
·Yakumo Murasaki came here just to mock those suffering kings for something as simple as this.
"Ah la la, have we done that? Why do we have to tell you that we are here just to see what interesting things you are talking about."
Yakumo Murasaki looked around the meeting room with a half-smile but not a smile. When she saw Laxus and the others from Fairy Tail beside him, she paused briefly and then turned her head as if nothing had happened.
In fact, Yakumo Murasaki has been secretly spying on what these kingdoms and the Magisters' Guild have been doing recently. It can be said that what these kingdoms have done during this period, what preparations they have made for this war, and even what they eat in the morning
Everything about Yakumo Purple is clear.
So she really wasn't worried about what these kingdoms and the Magisters' Guild were discussing. She came here just out of boredom and wanted to help Makarov and the others to visit Laxus and the others.
But how could Yakumo Purple say such a thing, so she just made up an excuse and tried to fool her.
"asshole!"
Next to him, an irritable president of the Black Mage Guild yelled and launched his strongest super magic to attack Yakumo Murasaki, with incomparable confidence and arrogance in his eyes.
You must know that he is one of the strongest presidents of the Black Mage Guild, and his strength is no less than that of the ordinary Holy Ten Magicians. The guy in front of him who only dares to appear secretly is definitely not his opponent.
"Ah! You are really naughty, you need to be punished."
Yakumo Murasaki turned her head slightly to look at the Black Mage Guild Leader who launched the attack. A gap appeared silently above his head. Countless ferocious tentacles instantly surged out and wrapped around him, and the flesh thorns on the tentacles pierced directly.
His body sucked.
"Ahhh!"
In less than a second, the leader of the Black Mage Guild was sucked into a mummy before the others could rescue him. His eyes were wide open on his withered and ferocious face, revealing his endless fear of death and his distrust of life.
eager.
"It's really boring, Yuyuko, we should go."
Yakumo Murasaki glanced at the mummified Black Mage Guild Master, then turned around and took Yuyuko into the gap, leaving only a group of kings and guild masters looking at each other. It can be said that except for a few people just now,
, I didn’t see clearly when Yakumo Murasaki took action.
In other words, it means that as long as Yakumo Purple is willing, he can easily kill most of them by himself, or even pay a small price to wipe them out as a group.
"By the way, you have to work hard for tomorrow's battle! We are looking forward to your performance!"
At this moment, Yakumo Murasaki's head popped up again from the gap that was about to disappear. She looked at the people in front of her with a smile, and winked at them playfully before leaving.
