Chapter 17: Heavenly Body Magic
Sho and Millianna looked at this sight and could not help but burst into laughter.
Releasing them? No way, just forget about that intention.
That is right, it is absolutely impossible, meow, Erza-neechan.
Erza sighed, I know you all will hate me, but I am sorry.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she had already appeared behind the two of them.
Millianna and Sho did not even have time to respond, only hearing two sharp clapping sounds as both of them rolled their eyes simultaneously and collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
Erza drew her hands back with an expressionless face, and Lucy rushed forward, taking Gray and Natsu who were sealed inside the cards.
Even though the two of them were trapped inside the cards, they were incredibly lively and full of energy.
Let me out, quickly let me out.
Yeah, hurry up and let us out of here.
The two of them continuously pounded against the cards, but it was completely useless.
Let me take a look. Cana walked over, since the magic she studied was also Magic Cards, seeing Sho's magic immediately sparked her interest. She took the cards from Lucy's hands, intending to undo the magic.
But after trying a few times, she found that it was of no use.
This magic was incredibly mysterious; it looked identical to her own Magic Cards, yet there seemed to be a slight difference.
In such a short time, she had absolutely no idea how to release the trapped Natsu and Gray.
Allow me to handle it.
Right at that moment, Yumesaki, having already copied Sho and Millianna's magic, walked over.
He took the cards from Cana's hands and casually undid the magic.
The cards instantly radiated a blinding light, and then suddenly released the trapped Gray and Natsu.
Finally out.
Natsu, regaining his freedom, felt absolutely amazing and could not help but stretch his body. Even though he had only been locked up for a few short minutes, it felt as though several years had passed.
Lucy could not help but comment: You were only locked up for a few minutes.
Natsu argued back with full justification: That place was small and broken, it was uncomfortable to death.
Gray nodded in deep agreement.
That place was indeed uncomfortable.
Erza said: Enough, let us move on.
Everyone heard this, nodded, and continued their way.
Not long after, they encountered another acquaintance of Erza.
Simon.
Erza looked at Simon, her facial expression complicated. She had already seen the plotline, so of course, she knew that Simon was not like the others who were kept in the dark by Jellal, and he even knew some key information.
Among this group of childhood playmates, Simon was likely one of the few who were aware.
But at the same time, he was also one of the most tragic.
Because in the original plotline, Simon had been killed by Jellal just to protect her.
This had also become a thorn in Erza's heart.
But fortunately, the current Simon was not dead yet, so there was still a chance for everything.
Simon, I am back.
Ah, Erza, welcome back.
Simon looked at the current Erza who appeared vibrant, gave a small smile, and made way, Go, Erza, destroy our nightmare completely.
Ah, I will do it, thank you, Simon.
Erza stepped forward, and as she passed by Simon's side, she heard Simon say in a low voice: Be careful on the way, Erza.
I will.
Erza responded once, then without looking back, she ran swiftly toward the highest floor of the Tower of Heaven.
Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Cana followed closely behind her.
Yumesaki also walked very slowly at the very back.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and everyone arrived at the highest floor of the Tower of Heaven without any hitches.
The members of the Assassin Guild, Trinity Raven, who had once made Fairy Tail fall into a fierce battle, did not appear.
Yumesaki estimated that this was most likely because Erza's invasion this time was too sudden, the Tower of Heaven was not even finished building yet, and Jellal's plan had not even set into motion.
Therefore, he had not hired Trinity Raven.
This also caused the defensive strength of the Tower of Heaven to be incredibly weak, allowing the members of the Fairy Tail guild to break through quite casually.
Tower of Heaven, highest floor.
Jellal sat upon a throne, looking at Erza's group who broke in with an expressionless face, his fingers almost crushing the armrest of the chair.
Actually, when Erza had just invaded the Tower of Heaven, he had already received the news.
But what could he do?
In order to remain unnoticed by others, the Tower of Heaven was isolated out in the sea, on a deserted island.
Now, even if he wanted to look for people, there was no time left.
Since the situation had reached this stage, he could only step forward himself.
No matter who it was, no one could stop him; he absolutely had to complete the construction of the Tower of Heaven to realize his goal.
Jellal, I have come.
Erza, who broke into the hall, looked at Jellal as he slowly stood up from the throne, her facial expression complicated.
Erza, you really surprise people. I did not expect you to actually return today.
Jellal looked at Erza while smiling, I originally thought you would have forgotten this place completely.
How could I possibly forget this place.
Erza's gaze flickered, as if sinking into memories, but her determination was strong, and she very quickly broke free from that mood, staring at Jellal with a steady gaze.
Stop it, Jellal. It is still not too late to surrender now, otherwise you will regret it.
Having seen the plotline, she naturally knew what kind of person Jellal would become later on. Not only did he regret his own actions, but he had even established the Crime Sorcière guild just to atone for his sins.
She really was not willing to see her childhood playmate step into a wicked path step by step.
Yumesaki, hearing up to this point, could not help but roll his eyes.
The other person has already turned to darkness, and you actually want to rely on a talk to make them snap out of it? Do you think you are Uzumaki Naruto?
Even if Uzumaki Naruto came, he would still have to defeat the opponent first before utilizing a speech to make the enemy understand.
You have not even fought yet, and you are already hoping the opponent will surrender?
How could that be possible!
Impossible.
Sure enough, this painstaking advice from Erza was rejected on the spot by Jellal. His current self had long since fallen into darkness, and no matter whose words they were, there was no way they could reach his heart.
Even Erza could not.
At the same time, Natsu could no longer stand listening to it. He came here to fight, not to listen to their lectures.
What are you guys muttering about? Take a hit from me, Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!
Natsu roared once, his entire body leaping upward as a iron fist burning like a meteorite falling from the sky smashed toward Jellal.
Jellal's body shifted, instantly evading Natsu's attack.
Heavenly Body Magic: Meteor.
This type of magic could make Jellal's speed as fast as a meteor.
Natsu's punch struck empty space, smashing the floor with a loud sound until it formed a large crater, but before he could respond, Jellal had already flashed in front of him and delivered a single punch right to Natsu's face.
Bang!
Natsu was hit like a cannonball and sent flying outward until his brain buzzed.
Natsu! Gray shouted loudly, You bastard, Ice-Make...
Whoosh!
Without waiting for him to finish his words, Jellal dashed in front of Gray like a meteor, delivering a single punch to Gray's abdomen.
The massive impact force instantly sent Gray flying outward.
Although there was no life-threatening danger, this rush of impact made Gray cough violently, almost throwing up the stomach acid from last night.
So strong, this is just too absurd, isn't it?
Lucy was thoroughly shocked, her face turning pale with fear. No matter if it was Natsu or Gray, all of them were first-class mages in Fairy Tail, yet in Jellal's hands, they could not even withstand a single move.
This gap was just too vast.
That is normal. Yumesaki said calmly: This guy is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints, having this much strength is only natural.
Lucy's heart thudded, and she hurriedly asked: Then what do we do now?
Yumesaki patted her shoulder to reassure her: Watch Erza's performance.
At the same time, seeing Natsu and Gray brought down one after another, Erza could no longer sit still. She finally equipped her Heaven's Wheel Armor and slashed toward Jellal.
Right then, the two of them instantly clashed into a single group.
Jellal's strength was indeed very powerful, but Erza was not weak either. What was even more important was that Erza had been injected with the superhuman drug and had eaten three Devil Fruits.
Erza's strength had long since developed by leaps and bounds.
Facing Jellal's attacks, she possessed more than enough capability.
Particularly, she had also eaten the Warp Warp Fruit, which made her mobility a level higher compared to Jellal.
Facing Jellal's onslaught, Erza appeared to have plenty of strength to spare.
Heavenly Body Magic: Grand Chariot!
Jellal roared, and beneath the sky, the Big Dipper constellation emerged. Each star radiated a beam of light pillar falling from the sky, its power no less than a meteorite.
The entire hall was struck by the light pillars until it was in ruins, and airwaves like rolling mountains and overflowing seas swept over.
Yumesaki snapped his fingers, manifesting a barrier to block the rapidly approaching airwaves.
Rumble... Rumble...
The airwaves slammed against the barrier like a torrential flood, but were ultimately held back.
Cana could not help but admire, Amazing.
It was unknown whether she was referring to Jellal, or referring to Yumesaki, or quite possibly both.
On the other side, although the Grand Chariot unleashed by Jellal was immensely powerful, it was easily evaded by Erza using the teleportation ability of her Devil Fruit casually.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Erza appeared in front of Jellal from empty space, slashing down toward Jellal's head with a single sword.
Jellal hurriedly utilized magic to block this attack.
But in the next split second, Erza vanished from sight again.
The very next moment, she launched attacks against Jellal from the left angle, right angle, front side, and back side, striking from various directions.
Her attack speed was incredibly fast and shocking, yet there was no pattern whatsoever to speak of.
In an instant, Jellal was beaten into retreating step by step.
Do not underestimate me too much, Erza!!!
Jellal crossed both hands upward, roaring loudly: Heavenly Body Magic: Altairis!
Instantly, a black hole that swallowed all things appeared from empty space, sucking everything into boundless darkness to be crushed.
Erza decisively retreated, evading this move and giving Jellal a chance to breathe.
Jellal smiled coldly: Erza, bring everyone to die along with me.
As soon as his voice fell, the black hole radiated an endless pulling force, drawing all the surrounding people toward it.
Jellal intended to destroy everyone completely along with Erza.
When a mage of the Wizard Saint level went wild, the power exploded outward was enough to destroy heaven and earth.
