The Fairy Queen Appears! (5)

"A trivial skill!"

After making a disdainful remark, the Gatekeeping General turned around and jumped off the tower.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Not long after the Gatekeeping General left, two crisp sounds came from the room, and then two not-so-clean hands emerged from the pit.

"Phew~"

With the help of the hands, two heads popped up onto the ground and let out two deep breaths.

"Heh! This guy may be incredibly strong, but he's not exactly a genius! (Thin Fairy Child)"

Hearing his companion's words, the Fat Fairy Child, who was lying flat on the ground, hurriedly said, "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't call him back!"

Although the Thin Fairy Child knew it was impossible, he still subconsciously covered his mouth and cautiously glanced around.

"Hey, come quick, I'm stuck!"

"Ha... Pfft!"

After forcing back his laughter, the Thin Fairy Child climbed out of the pit as fast as he could and then dragged the Fat Fairy Child was trapped at the entrance.

"Whoosh!"

After lying on the ground and catching his breath, the Thin Fairy Child asked, "Fatty, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do but run away!"

"Run away? That monster is right outside. If we go out now, we're just asking for death!" (Thin)

"But if we don't run, once that guy realizes what's happening, we'll either be joining these guys on the ground, or going to see our Old Friend!" (Fat)

"Too!"

After realizing their predicament, the Thin Fairy Child instantly turned into two ants on a hot pan.

"Ah... I've got it! (Skinny)"

"What?"

"We changed into slave clothes and escaped in the chaos. (Thin)"

"This... this... will this work? (Fat)"

"Now we can only give it a try! (Slimming)"

"Good!"

After saying this, the two men altered two new outfits for themselves according to Jellal's style. Then, they put the new clothes on and hurriedly fled the tower. (Old Suo: Those two idiots are finally gone, otherwise I, the fool, would have had to play the fool again!)

"Call out!"

As a dark blue beam of light flew into the Blue-haired boy's body, Jellal, whose eyes were tightly closed, slowly opened them.

"God?" (PS: This and the following are classic quotes from Mashima.)

"I don't need a god who can't even save a child!"

"Even if I had it, I wouldn't want it!"

"I hate it so much!"

The moment the Blue-haired boy finished speaking, a mysterious voice drifted into his ears.

"Hate it!"

"Everything about it is hateful...the eyes of those guys, and the whole world!" (Jellal)

"Hate it!" (Mysterious voice)

"I will swallow your resentment along with it!" (Mysterious voice)

"Human hatred makes me stronger!" (Mysterious voice)

After recovering from the chaotic state, the Blue-haired boy exclaimed, "Who is it?"

"What a ridiculous bunch! I've been right here all along, and they actually want me resurrected???"

"Are you suggesting I be given a physical body?"

Where exactly is it?

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

As soon as the Blue-haired boy uttered his question, the blue-red smoke in the air gradually thickened, and clumps of blue-red liquid fell in front of him.

"No matter how much you believe, it's useless!"

"Without intense hatred, one cannot feel my presence!"

"Jellal, you're in luck!"

"I was fortunate enough to see the god that those people worshipped!"

Haha~~

Seeing the blue-red liquid creature stand up and hearing the laughter that appeared in mid-air, the Blue-haired boy's eyes widened instantly.

"My name is Zeref, and I will be wherever hatred exists!"

The moment the last character appeared, the blue-red liquid creature suddenly opened its single eye, and then everything fell silent.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

After defeating the last Masked man, Crimson glanced around and then shouted, "Where's August? Has anyone seen August?"

The surrounding air remained quiet for a long time, then a sharp voice appeared in the air.

"If you're looking for the guy with the greatsword, he's already stormed into District 8!"

"What? When did this happen?"

"About seven or eight minutes ago!"

Seeing that Crimson was about to rush into District 8, Simon, who had just finished bandaging his wounds, hurriedly said, "Erza, one person alone cannot get through District 8!"

"But... if we don't hurry over to help, August and Jellal will both be in danger!"

"Haha! Brother Simon, your two competitors seem to be quite formidable!" (Woolie)

Upon hearing this, the black-haired boy lowered his head, his face flushed.

After a long pause, he suddenly raised his head and shouted at the Crimson, "Erza, do you like August and Jellal?"

"Huh???"

"What... what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing the panicked Crimson, the black-haired boy decisively launched an attack.

"Erza, I've always... liked you..."

Just as the two most important words were about to be uttered, a bright light suddenly appeared on one side, followed by a deafening explosion.

Affected by the blast, the black-haired boy and the Crimson were both lifted into the air. However, the Crimson adjusted his body in mid-air and landed smoothly on the ground, while the black-haired boy slid sideways across the ground to a distance.

"Simon! (Woolie)" (PS: I couldn't think of a better development, so I copied it again.)

"What...what is that? (Milliana)"

"They're Magic Soldier!!!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment the exclamation rang out, gray creatures in the distance stretched their mouths wide open in exaggerated ways, followed by orange-red fireballs appearing in the air and then shooting towards the Crimson.

"Simon! (Woolie)"

"Cheer up! (Milliana)"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the battlefield, which was originally much higher than the ground, was sheared into a deep pit, and the insurgents who were standing there cheering disappeared completely.

Faced with the intense visual impact, the inexperienced insurgent rebels were instantly thrown into disarray.

"I can't take it anymore!"

"Run!"

"They're no match for us!"

Watching the retreating tide surge past them, Crimson raised her shield and shouted, "No! Everyone, don't give up so quickly! We have to fight to the very end!"

"Get out of the way!"

A loud shout, accompanied by even more violent movements, appeared beside Crimson. Startled, Crimson lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

"Splash!"

After shaking off the dust, Crimson stretched out her hand and pleaded, "Don't go, we have to save Jellal and the others..."

Upon seeing the situation above the Crimson area, several people nearby screamed.

"Sister! (Hugh)"

"Erza! (Woolie)"

Amid exclamations, the grayish-white creatures in the distance opened their mouths wide toward the Crimson. Just as the attack was about to reach the Crimson, a Crimson -haired figure appeared in front of her.

"Whoosh!"

The ear-piercing whistling sound trailed across the sky, and just as it was about to strike the white-haired figure, another unexpected event occurred.

"Buzz!"

The familiar blue-purple hue reappeared, and then Asland lost its color once again.

Seeing the orange fireball less than a centimeter away from the White-haired elder, a sound of extreme tension and relief came from the sky.

"Holy crap! That was close!"

"Call out!"

"Da da!"

After his feet touched the ground, the silver-haired boy took a few deep breaths before beginning to implement his plan to switch the beams and pillars.

A short while later, everything was arranged, but Old Suo did not break the black and white seal. Instead, he flew over the fleeing crowd and scanned them carefully.

"Hehe! I've finally found you!"

After he finished speaking, Old Suo landed in front of a black-haired boy.

"They even bully my Erza! Is there no justice in this world?!"

"Pooh!"

After applying salivary amylase to the other person's face, His Majesty the Emperor simply picked them up and carried them on his back.

"Hmph! This place is quite nice. You can spend the last moment of your life here!"

After saying this, Old Suo positioned the other person in front of several orange-yellow fireballs, then turned and left.

As he left, the Silver-haired Demon Emperor coldly said to him, "Hmph! Brat, you're lucky you caught up with me before I had enough time, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to die!"

"Buzz!"

A ring of blue-purple ripples spread out, and then the world began to spin again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The continuous explosions drowned out all other noises, so no one noticed the unusual screams and cries coming from the blast zone.

"Grandpa Rob!" (PS: Classic quote coming your way)

Even though my magic is depleted, I can still protect my friends!

"Young lives should not be so easily taken away... Haha~~"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

A spiral of fire erupted, and then all the grayish-white creatures vanished without a trace.

"Wow, that's amazing! (Woolie)"

"Ah~ (Milliana)"

"The magic was deflected!? (Hugh)"

"Ahem~~"

"Thump!"

After losing his support, the White-haired elder knelt directly on the ground.

"What's wrong with Grandpa?" (Erza)

"Even an old geezer like me is still somewhat useful... right?"

Before the Crimson could answer, the white-haired figure continued, "For a mage, magic is like the source of life. I, your grandfather, have long since lost my magic, and this is the only ending I can hope for."

"But... Erza, you... are full of infinite possibilities!"

"Grandfather?"

Looking at the cracked, aged face, all the memories flooded back, and before she knew it, two wet streaks appeared on her Crimson cheeks.

"Da da"

"Da da"

Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance, followed by a dozen or so Masked man dressed in purple robes and carrying staffs, who crossed the road and appeared not far from the Crimson.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

After choosing their spots and taking their positions, these guys didn't say a word, but immediately raised their staffs and launched a barrage of magic.
