"Hello..."
"Disappeared! There are still things I haven't asked!"
"Wendy...!"
Wendy shook her head and said, "It's no use...! The longing for this place has completely vanished."
"It feels like this has turned into something really serious!" Gray said.
"It's way too big!" Lucy complained.
"Will using Dragon Slayer Magic too much turn you into a dragon?" Natsu asked, sweat pouring down his face. He used magic without any restraint, anytime, anywhere.
"That's troublesome!" Gajeel said, as he was also the type to use magic without restraint.
"What should I do!" Wendy thought of what she would look like as a dragon and instinctively covered her face.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "That's impossible...!"
"Who?" The group was startled and assumed a fighting stance.
"We heard what you just said, and it's true! Our investigation matches the historical records. You should know about the demons in Zeref's books, right? Acnologia's appearance is very similar to it, so we speculate that Zeref transformed a Dragon Slayer Mage into Acnologia."
"Zeref?"
"In other words, Zeref, the mastermind behind everything, is the first step in defeating Acnologia!"
Chapter Thirty-Five: Goals and the Final Day
"Who are you?" Natsu asked, then suddenly noticed the person behind him and was slightly taken aback. It was Yukino, who had left Sabertooth earlier. Natsu had been searching for her for a while but hadn't found her. He was planning to continue the search after the Grand Magic Games, but he hadn't expected to encounter her in this way.
"I am Argadius, the commander of the Sakura Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Fiore of Crocas," The Knight in white armor said.
"I am Yukino Aguria, a temporary sergeant in the same the Knight order," Yukino said.
"Why are high-ranking military officers here?" Gray asked.
"By the way, Yukino, aren't you a member of Sabertooth?"
"It seems they were kicked out. Natsu and I searched for them for a long time that night because Chen Fan said he wanted to invite Yukino to join Fairy Tail!" Happy said.
Yukino paused slightly, glanced at Natsu who hadn't spoken yet, and then whispered, "Lord Natsu, Lord Chen Fan!"
"Let me explain...! We're undertaking a secret project that requires the power of Celestial Spirit Mage, so we've invited Yukino to lend us a hand!" Argadius said.
"Celestial Spirit Mage?" Wendy couldn't help but look at Lucy;
Natsu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about! Skip this and tell us why you're here!"
"Was that Natsu Dragnegel? That battle just now was really exciting," Argadius said.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter. What we care about is that you mentioned Celestial Spirit Mage, right? If you have something to say, explain it to me clearly." Natsu stood in front of Argadius and said.
Argadius turned around and said, "Come with me!"
Natsu and the others exchanged a glance. "What do we do?"
"Let's follow him! See what he wants to say?"
