Chapter 137 Crushing and the Truth
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One explosion after another echoed throughout the entire Tower of Paradise.
From the outside, the constantly erupting sparks, lightning, and energy rays are spreading upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under the overwhelming onslaught of the card monsters, the Tower of Paradise's defenses were completely overwhelmed, resulting in a one-sided defeat.
Mira, itching for a fight, became even more ruthless, sweeping through her opponents and leaving almost none able to last more than two rounds!
At the top of the Tower of Paradise, in the dimly lit command center.
"What three useless idiots! Not only did they fail in their assassination attempt, they also exposed this place to the outside world!"
'
Gerald, cloaked, stared with a gloomy gaze at Chase, who was strolling leisurely in the image of the magic crystal.
"Hehe, but the result is not bad."
"Knowing of the existence of the Tower of Paradise, not only did they not report it to the Council, but they also deliberately came to their deaths."
"Should I call you foolish, or are you confident you can defeat me, Chess Lynn Edgardon?"
Just now, his clone Zekrein received news that Makarov had brought the Three Ravens back to the Council.
The other party simply explained what happened without mentioning the Tower of Paradise.
He was still relieved that the three ravens hadn't leaked the secret when Chase suddenly attacked.
"Fine, since you want to solve this yourselves, I'll play along!"
Gerald shifted his gaze from the magic crystal and glanced at the figures who had come before him upon receiving the order.
They are Hugh with a resentful look, Simon with an eyepatch and a steel jaw, and Miriam Anna dressed as a cat.
And there's Wally Bucanan with his square face.
These are Erza's closest friends from her childhood!
"You all should know the situation by now, right? The intruders are from Fairy Tail, the guild Erza joined."
At this point, Jellal's expression twisted in pain, "Even now, Erza still won't let us go."
Hugh's resentment was immediately drawn out; he gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes filled with madness: "We absolutely cannot forgive that heartless traitor who abandoned us!"
"You want to do this kind of thing, but you don't dare to come and face us?" Wally was relatively calmer, but his words were cold.
"Why has Erza become such a strange person?!"
Miriam's eyes dimmed, and memories of her past with Erza surfaced deep in her mind. She couldn't accept this cruel "reality."
Simon: ".—"
"I'm going to kill her, kill those two damned intruders!!"
Hugh charged out menacingly, with Wally and Milliana close behind.
After a brief pause, Simon followed, his face full of anger.
Once they had all left, Gerald finally dropped his sorrow and revealed his ugly side.
"Heh, before I recall my clones, I'd like to ask you idiots to stall for time."
Only by getting rid of that damned Chess can Ultear possibly return to normal and become the believer who would support him even at the cost of his life.
This is the most important step in resurrecting Zeref and creating a free magical kingdom.
Therefore, there is absolutely no way he would let Chase leave the Tower of Paradise alive!
To achieve this ultimate goal, we are willing to sacrifice even the most important pieces like Hugh in advance!
The shockwaves from the explosion inside the Tower of Paradise quickly reached the upper levels.
Once they arrived here, they saw virtually no resistance. Most of the guards, along with several hundred laborers, had been imprisoned and collected by Chess.
"It's unbelievable that Erza grew up in such an environment—."
With a moment to spare, Mira looked around with a serious expression, examining the dark and messy interior of the tower.
"Whether it is regular and common magic or black magic that is feared by people, its essence is to climb to the peak of the path of magic."
The Dark Magician Girl shook her head and sighed, "It's terrible that the Zeref Order created this R-system."
After causing a ruckus, all the other card monsters except her were pulled back into the deck by Chess, ready to fight Gerald.
"That's how magic is; it can bring people bright hope, or it can drag them into a dark and ethereal abyss," Chase said.
I really want to see Gerald's expression when he finds out that Jelf, who is determined to "resurrect" him, is currently the emperor of Alvarez next door!
The three chatted as they made their way up to the upper levels, taking the opportunity to beat up any remaining guards that occasionally appeared.
Just as they approached a wide passageway at the very top floor, four figures blocked their way.
"Fairy Tail, die!!"
The moment Hugh saw Chase and Mira appear, his eyes were bloodshot, and without saying a word, he charged over the magic circle.
Poor kid, fooled by Gerrard's lies...
Chess sighed softly, then unleashed his magic, transforming into a blur and disappearing from the spot.
boom!
A muffled sound rang out, and a thin layer of dust filled the air.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Hugh, the younger brother Erza mentioned?"
Chase grabbed Hugh's head with one hand, pressing him firmly against the cracked floor, and said in a deep voice, "Are you a little calmer now?"
"Don't mention that disgusting name in front of me!"
Hugh struggled frantically, oblivious to Chase's deliberate restraint. Instead, he secretly twisted his palm and unleashed his card magic at Chase.
hum.
The magic circle flashed by, and Chase vanished into thin air, turning into a card that ended up in Hugh's hand.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Fairy Tail's S-class mages aren't all that great, they're practically pathetic!"
Hugh mocked Chase, who was trapped inside the cards.
Overwhelmed with excitement, he failed to notice the expressions on Mira and the Dark Magician Girl's faces, which made them look at him like he was an idiot.
"Oh my, you and Chess are both mages who use cards~" Mira smiled calmly.
"Pfft, what were you thinking, using such low-level magic in front of your master?" The dark mage girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Over there, Hugh's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly tightened his grip on the card, wanting to tear the card and Chase inside to pieces.
Just as he was about to make a move, Chase, who was trapped in the empty space, simply snapped his fingers, and a dark golden magic circle was generated in the air.
The next second, it was Hugh's turn to disappear.
A card with a black and gold swirling pattern printed on the back slowly floated down.
"Kid, are you kidding me?"
Back in reality, Chase reached out and grabbed the card, casually glancing at Hugh, who couldn't escape no matter how much he struggled.
"stop!"
The sudden turn of events shocked Wally and his two companions: the opponent's card magic was actually so much stronger than Hugh's?!
"Simon! Do it!"
Worry was the first to react, raising his right arm, which had transformed into a cannon barrel, and aiming it at Chess, preparing to launch an attack.
Simon nodded and stepped forward without hesitation: "Dark Magic - Moment!"
As the only person who knows the truth of what happened back then and has always believed in Erza, he also trusts Erza's current allies.
The Tower of Paradise is under constant surveillance, and the pretense must continue until the situation becomes clear.
For the safety of Hugh and his companions, and even Erza's friends!
Whoosh whoosh.
Darkness spilled out of the magic circle like a pure black curtain, instantly forming a pitch-black space where one could not see their own hand in front of their face, enveloping Chess and his two companions.
"Dark magic? Your luck is just too bad!"
The dark magician girl sat on her magic wand, laughing even more heartily.
Standing in the darkness, she mimicked Chess's action and lightly snapped her fingers.
hum! !
The magic raged, easily crushing the enclosed space that Dark Moment had conjured into dust.
At the same time, an even deeper and wider darkness erupted, which in turn covered the horrified Simon and his two companions!
The dark storm lasted only a few seconds before gradually dissipating.
Having learned the whole truth from Chase, the Dark Magician Girl didn't press her advantage; she simply wanted to show off.
The effect is naturally very obvious.
"How...how could this be? My dark magic is so easily defeated—" Simon stared in horror, his pupils widening.
The sudden burst of dark magic was so terrifying that it made his heart pound and filled him with a sense of despair, as if he were powerless to resist.
What's even more terrifying is that the other party is just a summoned creature of that Chase!
"Hehe, pretty impressive, huh?"
The Dark Magician Girl, true to her careless nature, wiped her nose smugly and puffed out her chest, saying, "If you want to learn, I can teach you~"
"Magical Heavy Cannon!"
Her response was Wally's fully charged attack.
The speeding magical projectile rapidly magnified in the dark magic girl's pupils. Just as it was about to hit her, the demon's wings fluttered slightly, and her sexy and beautiful body stepped in front of her to block it.
Mira the Demon extended her hand, grabbing the cannonball with an incredibly domineering gesture.
Boom!!
The shell exploded, and the burst of light illuminated the entire passage!
"Since they are Erza's childhood friends, they are also friends of the guild. I don't want to hurt you."
The demon Mira angrily shook off the black smoke emanating from her palm, revealing an unharmed arm. With a slight smile, she said, "So, can you just give up this pointless resistance and let us through?"
"Disgusting, stop pretending to be tough!"
Miriamana gritted her teeth and shouted angrily in a hostile tone, "Isn't that traitor Erza the one who sent you here to wipe us all out?!"
In contrast, Wally's response was more sarcastic: "Ha, Erza was willing to betray and abandon us for her own freedom, so she can do the same to you now."
After a battle, he fully realized the gap in strength between the two sides and chose to accept his fate.
"Even if they are Erza's friends, it is an unforgivable sin to slander my comrade like this."
Mira's gaze sharpened, the smile on her lips gradually vanished, and the magic around her became ferocious and icy.
No one in the entire guild knew better than her how much Erza valued her comrades!
Would Erza betray and stab her own allies?
Are you kidding me?!
"Wait, Mira."
Chase reached out and patted Mira on the shoulder, who was about to get serious, calming her down before stepping aside. He played with the card that imprisoned Hugh in his hand and slowly walked towards Miriam and the other two.
"Would you like to hear a different version that I heard from Erza?"
