The two arrived at the wooden hut where they were hiding. Gajeel was surprised to see so many people: "There really are so many people. Mystogan said that only Dragon Slayer Mages could survive."
"Gajeel, you've finally arrived!" Natsu and the others were overjoyed.
Gajeel nodded: "After all, my companions have been captured, how could I not come?"
He distributed one of the red pills that Mystergan had given to each person, and after they ate them, everyone was finally able to use magic.
Natsu's entire body burst into boiling flames, and he laughed excitedly, "That familiar feeling! I'm fired up!"
Eileen felt her magic unsealed, crimson magic enveloping her, and she donned her elegant magic robe once more.
"It definitely feels better to have plenty of magic power."
Although it is possible to fight without using magic, having magic is obviously more convenient, which explains why the people of Edolas have always wanted magic.
Lucy said eagerly, "Now that we've recovered, let's go rescue our friends right away!"
Gajeel shook his head and said, "The magic crystals in the square are only a small part, and they should only seal two or three people. The larger part is on a small island floating in the sky. It shouldn't be easy for us to get there."
Natsu asked curiously, "How do you know so much?"
"I am a journalist in Edlas, and intelligence gathering is one of his specialties."
Wendy whispered, "Then what should we do?"
Eileen smiled and said, "Now that our magic has been restored, we should just go for it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have restored our magic?"
"Just what I wanted!" Natsu said confidently, clapping his fists together.
Gajeel sighed helplessly, "I just can't do anything with you guys!"
"Let's go, let's rescue our comrades!"
Everyone shouted excitedly.
As for Knightworth, we'll deal with her when we get back.
...
King Faust in the outside world continues to deliver inspiring speeches, but the content of his speeches gradually becomes treasonous, even proclaiming that the transcendents are nothing more than magical cats, and that there is no god at all.
The Beyonders live on Extania, a floating island above the kingdom, inhabited by a group of cats with wing magic.
Under the Queen's rule, all the transcendents considered themselves superior, humans inferior beings, and that they had the right to kill anyone at will.
Upon hearing King Faust's speech, the expressions of the people below changed from excitement to fear. Was this old man, Peter, going to kill a god?
It's fine to brag, but don't actually do it!
"Your Majesty, the Queen has the power to decide life and death at will. How can we resist her?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, those who transcend are beings possessing magical power!"
King Faust laughed heartily, pointing his wand at a crystal island in the distant sky: "That magical crystal island is the weapon used to detonate and destroy Extania. When that kind of powerful magic explodes, even a god will die!"
"As long as the magic crystal collides with the transcendent, our kingdom will be filled with inexhaustible magic power!"
"Everyone, come and witness this historic moment with me!"
Suddenly a voice rang out: "I won't let you succeed!"
Natsu soared into the sky, his entire body engulfed in flames, and he opened his mouth to gather magical power. The terrifying heat forced all ordinary people back: "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
boom!
A massive red magic circle unfolded, and bursting flames formed a tornado that swept through the air, instantly blasting the exposed magic crystal apart.
Under everyone's tense gaze, the magic crystal burst forth with a blinding light, so bright that no one could open their eyes.
When the light faded, the magic crystal also disappeared, transforming into Erza and Gray.
Erza looked bewildered and instinctively glanced around: "What happened? Aren't we at the guild?"
Gray said seriously, "We must have been sucked into somewhere in an instant."
But it doesn't matter, Natsu and Acnologia are right in front of us. With our companions reunited, no danger is too great to fear.
Gajeel tossed two pills to them: "Eat them!"
"Okay!" Erza and Gray swallowed it without hesitation.
The kingdom's citizens were utterly astonished to see the magic crystal transform into a human. What on earth was going on?
Isn't this the magic crystal created by Anima?
"Shugboy, capture them!"
King Faust was furious. How dare anyone disturb him on such a sacred day!
A man dressed in pink armor stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of empress's: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Natsu stepped in front of him and said, "I'll deal with him!"
"There's an easier way!"
Eileen stood proudly, lightly tapping the ground with her wand. Crimson magic covered the vast land and pierced the sky.
The sky was filled with distorted, dense clouds, and the surging, unrestrained magic was rampant, causing the entire world to tremble under its crimson power.
"What kind of power is this?"
Everyone was overwhelmed by the immense magical power, lying on the ground in terror, unable to stand up no matter how hard they struggled.
Not only that, even Extania, which floats in the sky, and the crystal island that seals Fairy Tail are slowly falling, soon colliding with the ground and bursting into a gust of wind.
The kingdom's people were filled with fear, and even King Faust was terrified. All his ambitions were crushed by this magic. What kind of being had they offended?
Gods?
Lucy's eyes widened in shock: "They suppressed the entire army in an instant..."
"What incredible magic!"
Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Erza, and the others were all terrified. Under such magical power, even they felt their own insignificance, like ants looking up at a giant dragon in the sky.
They thought Eileen was powerful enough to stop Nirvana, but now they realize they've never seen her true limits.
Eileen chuckled softly, "Finally, I can relax a bit."
"This war has come to an end!"
King Faust shouted with all his might, "Who are you people?!"
Eileen flashed and stood in front of him, her high heels pressing down on his head, her eyes coldly looking down at him: "Old man, it was you who activated the Anima?"
"Tell me, how do you want to die!"
King Faust's eyes were filled with fear: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Eileen's voice was cold, like the judgment of the Grim Reaper: "If you don't want the people of the kingdom to be wiped out, make everyone kneel down and submit now!"
Erza stared blankly at the domineering Irene, muttering to herself, "Mom?"
My mom, who's usually so unreliable, can be terrifying when she gets serious!
Who exactly is she, whose magic can suppress an entire kingdom?
He is definitely not the impoverished nobleman that was made up before.
Acnologia looked helplessly at the unrestrained Irene, knowing that she had been holding back for too long. The so-called Scarlet Despair had actually been hiding for so long, and Acnologia couldn't help but feel resentful.
However, it will probably be difficult to explain to the guild members afterward.
