When Zorn and Erza suddenly appeared on the island of Tower of Heaven.
"This is the Tower of Heaven!"
Lucy, Cana, Natsu, and Gray also stared in astonishment at the towering, cloud-piercing structure.
"So it really was completed... Jellal."
"This is what Jellal built after deceiving us for eight whole years."
Erza, and the others, however, wore different expressions. They looked solemnly towards the high place, as if they had made up their minds, because they knew that Jellal was waiting for them there.
"Natsu, look! There are two Zorn!"
Happy, with its sharp eyes, spotted Zorn suddenly appearing to its left and exclaimed in surprise, even poking Natsu's cheek with its little paw.
The reason it didn't fly away was because it was being held tightly in Millianna's arms and cherished dearly.
"Hey everyone!" Upon hearing Happy's exclamation, the Thought Form Zorn immediately appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh really?! How could this be?!"
"Cana, could she be Zorn's twin brother...?" Lucy was stunned. She still couldn't quite understand what was going on. She turned her head back and forth, looking at the two Zorns, but couldn't find any difference between them.
"No way, Zorn never told me he had a brother?"
"Two Zorns?"
Natsu also moved nimbly, leaping back and forth between the two Zorn, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, checking them up and down. He even poked the arms of the two Zorn, but again couldn't see any difference.
Erza: "Natsu, stop playing around, this is Zorn's Thought Form."
"Thought Form"
Erza looked at the two Zorns, and a Magic suddenly popped into her mind to explain it. This reminded her of the two Jellal's affair. It seemed that Jellal had lied to her again in this matter.
"There's no time to explain now. Simply put, it's just Magic. Let's deal with this matter first!"
Zorn offered no answer, but the moment the Thought Form merged with Zorn's physical form amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Zorn's Magic Power surged instantly, and the pressure he exuded made Hugh, Millianna, and the others realize once again how powerful Zorn was.
"I'll leave the rest of the Tower of Heaven to you. I'm going to meet with Jellal first; this matter needs to be settled."
Zorn gave instructions to the others, then his body suddenly glowed with golden light. In a flash, he transformed into a shooting star and rushed towards the top of the Tower of Heaven.
Who goes there!
The guards of the Tower of Heaven, a large group of them, stood in neat rows, weapons in hand, watching the enemies who had invaded the island.
"Attack! Attack! Invaders!!"
A captain, holding a cane, gave the order to charge.
"Bang, bang~"
Just as Nazgray and his companions were about to use magic to retaliate, several spells suddenly exploded among the guards.
"Sister, leave these people to us. Be careful on the road. Jellal has also commissioned the Skull Society and Bones Assassination Guild— the Trinity Raven."
Hugh, Miriam, Raymond, and Woolley stood in front of Fairy Tail's Zorn and his group, each using their own magic to prevent the guards from getting close to Erza and the others, using their own power to atone for their sins.
"I understand. Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Erza conjured a magic sword in each hand, cutting a path through the enemy lines and leading Natsume, Lucy, and the others toward the top of the Tower of Paradise.
At a fork in the road, Erza also divided her people into three teams, who then launched a separate attack upwards.
Lucy and Juvia form one team, Cana and herself form another, and Natsu and Gray form a third team, each of whom can face off against the assassination trio.
On the other side, at Zorn's location.
As the group advanced, Zorn stood in front of Jellal, and the two fell silent, simply looking at each other.
"Honestly, the game we were planning ended so quickly, it hadn't even really started."
"Crack!"
Jellal swept the chessboard in front of him to the ground with a single slap, then remained seated in his chair, looking arrogantly at Zorn.
"Jellal, do you really find it so fun to play with human lives? Are you really happy living in a world of lies?"
A Light Sword appeared in Zorn's hand as he stared coldly at Jellal.
"Of course I'm happy, because life and death are the root of all emotions, while life, in my view, is of no use!"
Jellal slowly rose to his feet, his body radiating black Magic Power and red symbols, clearly ready for battle.
"Jellal, you're still so stubbornly persistent."
"Hahaha, stubborn as a mule, Zorn, you really know how to talk big! We don't even know who will win in the end!"
"Meteor"
Jellal was enveloped in a black light tinged with gold, hovering in the air before suddenly accelerating toward Zorn. He threw a punch at Zorn, but Zorn easily blocked it with his hand. Zorn then turned and kicked Jellal in the stomach, sending Jellal flying and crashing into the wall behind him before Jellal could react.
The wall shattered upon impact, revealing the true nature of the Magic Crystal.
"Jellal, to be honest, this Magic Crystal Tower of yours must have cost a lot of money, right? Where did you get all that money from?"
Zorn ignored Jellal, who was slumped against the wall with his head down. Instead, he turned around and looked at the other Jellal behind him.
The 'Jellal' beside the wall vanished in a flash of light.
"Zorn, you really are meddling too much. You don't need to worry about this."
"Aren't you worried that Erza and the others can really defeat the Assassination Guild?"
"I know their strength, but even one of them could take down the Trinity Raven, let alone two against one now."
After Zorn finished speaking, he drew his sword and stepped forward, instantly appearing beside Jellal. He swung his sword, but Jellal dodged it due to timing, leaving only a huge gap in the wall.
Jellal was also clutching his arm, staring intently at Zorn. He hadn't expected Zorn's Swordsmanship to be so strong; in a single exchange, his speed was incredibly fast.
"Still planning to hide your strength? Where's your Celestial Magic? Let me see it! Or are you reluctant to part with this Paradise Magic Crystal Tower?"
Seeing this, Zorn teased Jellal, whose expression had already changed.
"Since you want to see it, I'll grant your wish..."
"Celestial Magic - Seven Star Sword"
Jellal jumped up and formed a hand seal with his hands.
