Four Hundred People Who Are Truly Immersed in the Power of Magic

? (Thank you very much for the rewards of 'Dreams in Dreams', 'Evenel', and 'Windless Sky'!)

Across a huge crystal in the center of the vast space, Noah, who was standing at the entrance, and Gerald, who was sitting on the throne, met their gazes in mid-air. The atmosphere completely sank and became extremely depressing.

Turning his gaze to Gerald on the opposite side, Noah walked forward slowly while speaking indifferently.

"you know me?"

With Gerald, Noah is the first meeting in the real sense.

However, Gerald was able to call out his full name, obviously possessing a certain degree of information about Noah.

As for this, Gerald smiled as if he didn't care, stood up from his seat, imitated Noah, and walked forward while saying such a sentence in a playful tone.

"Don't you know me too?".

The purpose of my coming here? "Noah's face remained unchanged.

"I don't know, are you going to answer my question?"

"Which purpose are you referring to?" Gerald stared closely at Noah who was walking towards him.

"Information about this tower of paradise? Or the truth of the past?"

However, to Gerald's surprise, Noah laughed out loud.

"Where did you make a mistake?" Noah raised his chin slightly, and his gaze on Gerald became colder and colder.

"The information about the Tower of Paradise? The truth about the past? Those are not the most important!"

"Whether it's investigating the Tower of Paradise or the truth that happened here in the past, it's just serving my purpose from beginning to end!" Noah stopped his footsteps and stretched out his hand. Facing Gerald's direction, he held it tightly.

"I have only one purpose. That is to understand Erza's unbearable past, and then pull her out of that mud!"

That's right!

This is Noah's purpose!

Noah will come here.

The reason why he came to Gerald was not because the "R system" would resurrect the brutal black mage ancestor Jeref who did all kinds of crimes in the past, nor because he wanted to save everyone here, but just to save Erza from there. Free from the painful past!

Other than that, there is no other purpose!

But this purpose, to Gerald, was extremely unexpected.

"This really surprised me." Gerald smiled, and that smile seemed to be mocking Noah no matter what.

"I thought that you came here to prevent the activation of the "R system". I also thought that you came here to save everyone here, and even wondered if something was discovered on the mainland to secretly send a mission to you , I sent you here to investigate, but I didn't expect that you came here just for Erusa, which really surprised me."

"Are you really surprised?". As if trying to see through Gerald's heart, Noah stared at Gerald with a strange face.

"In the past, didn't you also try to save Erza who was locked in the execution room, knowing that if you were discovered, you might die. But you still went to rescue Erza regardless of everything?".

"Did you say that time?". The smile on Gerald's face became even more intense.

"It's just that I haven't awakened at that time."

"Awakening?" Noah's heart moved.

"What do you mean by that?"

"At that time, I didn't realize what a great character Jeref is." Mentioning the name of the greatest villain in history, Gerald's expression became a little fanatical.

"It wasn't until I was imprisoned in the torture chamber instead of Erza that I learned about the greatness of Jeref and that I wanted to gain real freedom. If I want to get the right to live in the real paradise, I have to let Jeref My husband needs to be resurrected, so I awakened. I also started to master everything!"

"It's a pity that Erza couldn't understand it at all. She didn't know what a great man Jeref was, and she even advised me to escape. She also wanted to escape with the rare laborers." Gerald seemed regretful. shook his head.

"Although it's a pity, since Erza can't understand, then I don't need her. It just so happens that I have to have a reason to keep everyone here, so let Erza dedicate herself to the great Zeref." part of the strength."

Hearing this, Noah raised his head abruptly, his eyes were like arrows, and he shot straight at the opposite side as if he wanted to penetrate Gerald.

"In other words, the so-called betrayal of Ersha was all directed and acted by you?"

"There's no other way, it's all for Jeff." Gerald smiled evilly.

"Now, the Tower of Paradise is finally completed, and I don't need these anymore. If you want to know the truth, I will tell you. If you want to save Erza's companions, I will let you save them." , all I want is Jeref's recovery!"

Having said that, Gerald put away the smile that had been hanging on his face, and his complexion became a little scary and evil.

"Don't get in my way, Noah Doreah."

There was a sudden silence in the audience.

In the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Noah still looked at Gerald without changing his face, and after a while, he spoke calmly.

"It seems that you are the one who was swallowed by the power of magic."

Now, the truth about Erza's unbearable past has been completely revealed.

Although I don't know what's going on, Gerald, who was imprisoned in the torture room instead of Erza, awakened magic for some reason, and was swallowed by the power of magic, whether it was his own or someone else's, and became a down-to-earth monster. the wicked.

Looking at Gerald's fanatical and cruel appearance for Zeref, he looks like a fanatic without ego, without a trace of reason at all.

Therefore, in order to complete the "R System", Gerald deliberately let Erza go, and then blew up all the escaped ships, so that all the slaves could only stay and build the Tower of Paradise for him, and all the notoriety Push it all on Erza.

That's why, when Erza first joined "Fairy Tail ()", she would have the appearance of not getting close to strangers, and she would also have such a painful expression when talking about the past.

Probably, Gerald took all the people here as hostages, and threatened Erza to make Erza absolutely not to expose the matter of the Tower of Paradise, or even to approach here, otherwise he would kill Erza who once companion?

Gerald, who could put his own life at risk to save Erza, is long gone.

Now, here, there is only one evil person who completely lost himself and was swallowed by the power of magic.

"clatter----!"

Under the sound of strong footsteps, Noah took a step forward, his gaze on Gerald seemed to have a low temperature, and he poked at Gerald's body like a bone-piercing one.

"Is it because of you that Erza is in such pain?!"

"What do you want to do? Noah? Dole!" Gerald laughed out loud.

"Do you want to defeat me?! Do you want to stop me?! Do you want to get back for Erza?!"

"You! Can you do it?!"

As soon as the words fell, Gerald suddenly opened his hands.

"Buzz!"

Extremely abruptly, in the entire originally dark and vast space, a dazzling glare suddenly rose up, bringing up a piece of phosphorescence, sprinkled on the ground, walls and ceiling, and blended into it.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

In the next second, amidst the vibration of the air, an extremely huge magic circle spun out and spread out, covering the entire ground in an instant.

Not just the ground.

A mysterious magic circle appeared on the surrounding walls and the ceiling above the head. Like the surface of a cube, they were connected to each other, forming a strange space.

Noah only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the originally vast room disappeared, replaced by an endless rocky land.

"This is..." Noah couldn't help being surprised.

"Are you satisfied? This is specially prepared for you!" Gerald proudly stretched his hands and said loudly.

"This is a kind of ancient magic. It is a large-scale magic used to open up a battlefield that is beneficial to you. Originally, magic of this scale was used in war, but now it is unfolded for you alone. It should be an honor. Noah Doleah!"

"A battlefield that is beneficial to you?" Noah noticed the key words.

"Entering this battlefield, you must abide by the "trap" set in advance. Gerald's voice gradually became agitated.

"And the rule of this battlefield is that there can only be two people!"

Now, Noah understood.

Gerald laughed wildly.

"That's right! Your golden wolf can't bark anymore!" (To be continued...)
