Chapter 231 Edolas
The next day.
Dark clouds loomed over Magnolia, and a cold wind swept through the quiet, deserted streets, foreshadowing an impending storm.
Inside the Fairy Tail guild.
Although it was still daytime, the magical lights in the guild hall were all on due to the weather, and the idle members were drinking, chatting, and fighting as usual.
"I never expected that Chess and Gildarts would almost meet on the continent of Giltina. Fate is truly amazing sometimes."
At the bar, Mira rested her hands on the table, cupping her face, and looked tenderly at Chase sitting opposite her.
"So, you didn't fight?"
"No, I would love to spar with Gildarts, but he's not really in the mood for fighting since he just got back," Chase sighed softly, eating his fried chicken leg with a rather dejected air.
After exchanging information about the Flame God Dragon and the Black Dragon, Gildarts looked exhausted and said he wanted to rest for a while.
They had absolutely no desire to fight.
Moreover, he clearly hasn't fully gotten used to the coordination between the prosthesis and his body.
In this situation, forcing a battle is pointless. Putting aside whether you can have a good time, the chances of getting a new card are extremely slim!
"Oh, that's a real shame. I bet 20,000 J on you to win~" Mira blinked and said with a smile.
After Chess and Gildarts left the guild yesterday, Macao led the group of friends who thought the two were bound to fight and immediately started betting. Even Makarov couldn't resist placing a bet, vowing to make a killing off his kids.
Unfortunately, the betting ultimately failed to take place.
"Oh? You trust me that much?" Chase asked curiously.
"While Gildarts is undeniably incredibly strong, well—"
Mira tilted her head, her long, flowing white hair cascading over her burgundy dress, a determined glint in her beautiful eyes. "I have a feeling Chase definitely won't lose!"
"Hahaha! You have good taste!" Chess nodded shamelessly in affirmation.
Because they had never actually fought each other, he wasn't sure what level Gildarts was at when he was at full power.
However, he's confident that he's definitely not going to lose in a real fight.
In the short time it took to exchange a few words, a torrential downpour began outside. Thunder and the pattering rain enveloped the entire town, creating a hazy curtain of rain.
"Ugh, so much free time—"
Lucy, who had just finished chatting with Eclair and Wendy about the phoenix and dragon, swayed over and sat down next to Chase, sprawling on the table like a moldy rag, her two great sins pressing out a flat shape.
"I was thinking of going shopping with Levy since I can't leave Magnolia." She sighed heavily.
"That awful woman, she's probably thinking to herself that it's Juvia's fault again!"
Juvia suddenly appeared from behind, standing in the shadows, her eyes filled with resentment.
Before she met the light of her life (Gray) and joined Fairy Tail, it would drizzle wherever she went.
"No way! Don't think so badly of me!!" Lucy was startled and quickly retorted.
"Even so, don't expect Juvia to give Lord Gray to you!" Juvia said coldly.
"That idea is even less likely to come to mind!!"
Lucy was truly at a loss for words: There are so many girls in the guild, why is this guy always fixated on me?
"Then Juvia can rest assured, we're best friends, Lucy~"
Juvia, whose face had been gloomy, instantly broke into a sweet smile and turned to run to Gray, who was fighting with Natsu. "Gray-sama~"
Lucy:
"."
"Speaking of which, without realizing it, the rain has really gotten quite heavy." Mira looked up, staring blankly at the rain curtain outside the window.
Unlike Lucy, Lisanna's death anniversary was fast approaching, and she was going to visit Lisanna's grave with Elfman, just like every year, to tell her sister in heaven about the interesting things that had happened in the guild recently, as well as some words of remembrance between family members.
Therefore, no matter how heavy the rain was outside, it could not stop her.
Chase slowly put down the chicken bone in his hand, his expression also becoming more serious.
According to the original timeline, by this time, Edolas's large anima should have appeared, and one could clearly feel the restlessness in the air hidden in the heavy rain.
"Chase, Lucy, you two talk first, I have to go to church for something."
After exchanging greetings, Mira changed into a solemn black coat, took two umbrellas from the corner of the counter, and found Elfman, who was scolding Jet and Troy.
It seems that Jet and Troy are too useless, dragging Levy down in the commission. Elfman thinks the two of them are a disgrace to men.
Jet and Troy were cowards, standing weakly in place, enduring the scolding without daring to refute.
Mira's timely appearance saved them, and the two siblings left the guild under an umbrella, their backs looking somewhat lonely.
"Why are they going to church in this heavy rain?" Lucy asked, puzzled.
"It seems like Lisanna's death anniversary is coming up soon; her tombstone is behind the church," Chase explained.
"I see—" Lucy looked down at the steaming black tea in front of her.
From her best friend Levy, she learned about the tragedy that happened two years ago and about the existence of Lisanna.
Meanwhile, the other members were also going through their daily guild activities:
Marcao and Wakaba marveled at what Kana's stomach was made of, able to drink barrel after barrel of alcohol. Then, unsurprisingly, they were given a good scolding by Kana. After Gildarts returned, her mood became extremely bad.
Despite being several feet apart, the shy young couple, Bisca and Alzak, could sense each other's presence with just a glance.
The next second, her face flushed red as she looked away.
Wendy stared longingly at Erza, who was puffing out her chest and scolding Natsume, her little head seemingly lost in thought.
Makarov hid on the second floor, eating alone and lecherously admiring the colorful photos of beautiful women.
Naboo remained standing in front of the task board, acting as a PC, while Marcus seemed to have endless things to say, chatting with everyone he met.
boom!
The sudden sound of the door opening shattered the warm and peaceful atmosphere of the guild.
Mistgang stood in the doorway, soaking wet, his handsome face, no longer needing a mask to conceal his anxiety.
"Everyone! Nirvana is responding!!"
Mira and Elfman, who had left earlier, returned and stood behind him. Their expressions were equally grim. A very brief sentence startled their companions, who were immersed in their daily routine.
"Wait, Nirvana has a reaction, which means—"
Lucy's breathing became rapid.
"Weren't you bored? Well, here you go." Chase calmly stood up, raised his hand and patted her shoulder. When Lucy came to her senses, she rushed out of the guild with her companions. The scene in front of her made her eyes shrink back in shock.
In the hazy, dim rain, a huge, jet-black beam of light shot out from the lake's surface, stirring the thick clouds.
Connect the sky and the earth!
At its end, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and rolling black clouds swirled in a vortex shape. The central black hole, formed by the accumulation of these clouds, resembled an abyss eye staring down on the entire town, terrifying and oppressive!
"Isn't this level of malice a bit too much?!" Lucy exclaimed, covering her mouth.
The last time I saw Nirvana activate magic was right after I returned to Magnolia from the Oración Seis campaign.
The black line at that time was clearly only the size of a thread!
"Don't just stand there like idiots, kids! Everyone, get to work immediately according to the plan!" Makarov had appeared at the front of the crowd without anyone noticing.
"Yes!"
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, everyone immediately got to work.
Mira, Jubilee, and Kana, along with other members of the defense team, rushed into the rain and headed to their respective areas, ready to activate the pre-arranged teleportation arrays to evacuate residents at any time.
Chesnaz and others from the attacking group followed Makarov to the Nirvana control tower.
As Makarov entered the command to verify his identity, the highest-level magic light panel slowly appeared.
[Beep! Senior Citizen Card!]
"What the hell?"
"Hehe, don't mind the president, this is the notification sound indicating that your identity verification has been successful."
"Then what's yours?"
"Handsome guy card".
Makarov:
If it weren't for the emergency, I would have loved to give that brat a good beating!
Makarov glared fiercely at Chess, then without hesitation, raised his hand and pressed the bright red button on the panel.
"Command confirmed. Attack program initiated. Magic Chaos Cannon to begin charging."
As the mechanical beeping sounded, the six magic crystals used by Nirvana to store magic power simultaneously released all their energy, causing the black and white stone pillars on both sides to hum and emit holy white light representing light and deep black light representing darkness.
Two beams of light with diametrically opposed properties pulled at each other, intertwined, and entwined directly above the Nirvana Martial Arts Platform.
It outlines a massive chaotic magic array.
"20%, 50%, 100%, fully charged."
"Location of the malicious intent is being pinpointed. Target locked."
boom!
The chaotic magic array, its energy accumulated to its limit, unleashed a dazzling light. A thick pillar of chaotic light shot into the sky, guided by the malevolent black light, accompanied by a sonic boom that resounded throughout Magnolia, and crashed directly into the center of the vortex high in the sky.
The Magic Chaos Cannon struck Anima, who was in the activation state, and the moment these two massive spells, absolutely capable of destroying a city, came into contact, the entire sky exploded with dense and dazzling lightning and flames!
A terrifying energy storm swept out, instantly dispersing the dark clouds and breaking through the rain.
As the deafening explosions gradually subsided, a ray of sunlight shone down upon Nirvana, illuminating the arcs of electricity and chaotic points of light floating in the air with dazzling brilliance, creating a stark contrast with the torrential rain that still raged in the rest of Magnolia.
The sky, which should have been covered with dark clouds, was forcibly torn open!
The Chaos Magic Cannon successfully shattered the giant anima from another world!
"This is Nirvana—"
Knowing just how terrifying Anima was, Mystogan's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but marvel inwardly: Chase really did create an incredible magical weapon for the guild!
"Everyone, are you ready?"
With a sigh of relief, Mistgang glanced at the void in the sky that was gradually being filled by the surrounding dark clouds, and said in a deep voice, "Before the passage closes, I will send you to Edolas."
On the way from the guild to Nirvana, he had already given everyone X Red Pills.
It was a magical pill that allowed people from Esland to use magic normally in Edolas.
"Hurry up and seduce him, I'm getting excited!" Natsu clapped his fists together, showing unusual excitement.
"I wonder if I'll encounter any unexpected powerhouses in this other world. It's something to look forward to." Chase's lips curled into a slight smile, his cloak billowing behind him.
"Just you wait, cat! My cat!!" Gajeel roared to the sky.
Before you get all fired up, can you at least pronounce the person's name correctly?
Our main objective in the past wasn't to fight!
And what the heck is a cat?!
Lucy vented three complaints in one breath, feeling refreshed.
"Another world, Edolas? That sounds quite interesting."
Kirdas waved to Makarov and laughed, "Chairman, count me in too, just to relax."
"Everyone's here to relax! Do you even know where we're going—wait, Gildarts?!"
Lucy paused mid-complaint, then blinked adorably.
I accidentally offended Gildarts so badly, damn it, I'm going to die—
"Huh? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Gildarts' lightning-fast apology left her at a loss.
"Kildarts, what are you doing here?" Mystogan asked, voicing the question on everyone's mind.
"With such a commotion in the city, it's impossible not to know—wait, buddy, who are you?"
Mistergang: "—"
"Alright, stop fooling around. Gildarts, if you want to go, you can come with me!"
Finally, the composed Makarov spoke up, interrupting the little incident.
Putting aside character, personality, and style, Gildarts' strength is quite reliable, so he agreed to the other party's request without hesitation.
And so, the unexpected Gildarts hitched a ride to Edolas.
Under the magical influence of Mystergan, the group transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, disappearing at the end of the shattered space tunnel.
As they left, the cracks in the clouds were completely filled, and the scattered rain fell, but not as fiercely and rapidly as before.
There are faint signs that the weather is about to clear up.
"Now, I must also begin my own work."
Old Ma sighed, flicked his cloak to shake off the rain, and turned to walk towards the guild.
Although the crisis of the large anima has been temporarily averted, the remaining energy fluctuations need to be completely eliminated to prevent harm to innocent bystanders.
Moreover, such a big commotion could not be concealed no matter what, and the situation needed to be explained to the mayor and the council.
Edras.
After passing through the Anima Passage, Chess and his companions successfully landed on an island floating in mid-air.
"How magnificent! Is this Edolas, the homeland of Harpy, Charlo, and Mystogan?"
Lucy stood at the edge of the island, her wide, beautiful eyes reflecting the scene before her.
A vast sky is surrounded by stars, and countless islands covered with blue and purple plants float in mid-air. A clear river suspended in the air connects the islands like a ribbon, creating a magical scene full of fantasy.
"It is indeed quite different from what we've seen in Esland."
Even the well-traveled Erza couldn't help but sigh in amazement, glancing at the naked man beside her.
"Grey, the clothes."
"What?! When?"
Gray was startled by his clothes disappearing without a trace, then said indignantly, "Hey, Mr. Gang! Why didn't you say earlier that my clothes would fall off after I transmigrated?!"
Mister Gang silently gestured to the others who were unharmed.
He won't take the blame for this.
Harpy stared blankly at the completely unfamiliar world before her, and Charlene next to her had almost the same expression. Even though she had related memories, this was the first time she had seen her hometown since she was born in Esland.
"Wow! What a big bird!"
"It would be delicious to barbecue with it!"
The idiot Naz and the idiot Gildarts have different focuses.
"Without further ado, let's begin the operation according to plan."
After his reflection, Chess stepped forward, pointed to the boundless otherworldly forest ahead, and smiled.
"first-"
"Let's see who can run out of this forest first!"
"Wuhu!"
By the time everyone reacted, he had already leaped off the floating island and sped hundreds of meters away, stepping on the giant mushrooms in the forest below.
"What kind of plan is this?!" Lucy exclaimed loudly.
Then, the hem of her skirt was blown off by the hurricanes that swept up around her.
"Let's go, Happy! We absolutely can't lose to that bastard Chase!"
"like!"
Happy flew past with Natsu on his back.
"Since it's a race, we'll have to use this equipment!"
With a serious expression, Erza changed into a bunny costume and started running after Chess's path.
"Hmph, you're all idiots! Of course, traveling by water is faster! I'll take first place without hesitation!"
Gray jumped into the suspended river beside him and used shape magic to glide gracefully across the surface at great speed.
"Cat! Where is my cat?!" Gajeel, in a frenzy, charged forward headfirst.
"Hahaha, it's an interdimensional race, huh? We can't lose to you juniors!"
"Chesco! Erza! Wait for me!"
Gildarts and Wendy and Charlotte followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, only Lucy and Mystergan remained on the vast island.
The two looked at each other, their slightly twitching lips revealing their speechlessness.
"Has Chester always been like this?"
"In a sense, yes—"
