Chapter 246, "The Truth" Seven Years Later

Everyone decided to return to the guild immediately.

In everyone's opinion, no matter what kind of problem it is, as long as Everit takes action, there will be no problem!

The dragon slayer Acnologia destroyed the dragon clan and cut off the powerful existence of the dragon clan in the future. Even Everit can protect everyone from his attack!

What about Wanlong?

As long as Everit is okay, everything can be solved!

and--

No matter how serious the crisis is coming, right now - Everit's life is everyone's first concern!

‘Boom boom boom’

However, as soon as they left the room, they were besieged by the palace wizards.

"Natsu, don't waste time. Since you have chosen to become our enemy, don't hold back." Gajeel said in a cold voice.

"Of course I know." Natsu nodded.

"Sorry. My body" Future Lucy's body is very weak and cannot participate in this battle.

This made Natsu grit his teeth.

He had never seen such a weak Lucy, which made him angry.

'boom'

Natsu, who fought against Stinger and Rogge, and fought against Sword-Bite Tiger, did not activate the Dragon Power.

But at this time, he exploded the dragon scales.

Everyone was stunned. The enemy was shocked by the abyss-like magic power, which made them feel as if they were facing an angry dragon. But the friendly side also didn't understand why Natsu suddenly burst out with such exaggerated magic power.

Natsu said: "Lucy——"

"I will protect you, always!"

Listening to these firm and steady words, the two Lucys reached out their hands to cover their mouths at the same time, but one was right-handed and the other was left-handed. This obvious difference made the sensitive Xia Lulu frown.

At this time, the two Lucys were moved beyond words.

Especially future Lucy——

She experienced the collapse of the guild, the death of Everit, the reassuring pill, the death of her best friends Kana, Erza and others, and finally the confident Natsu fell in front of him - no matter how many times Natsu was defeated. , he could stand up, but that time. He didn't stand up.

Lucy in the future, who has lost everything, is in a state of panic that Lucy cannot understand now.

But--

But Natsu understood.

Not only did he understand, he responded to her!

No matter which world Natsu is——

Everyone will protect Lucy!

"Natsu." Future Lucy burst into tears.

"Mr. Natsu is so handsome." Wendy couldn't help but say.

The thing about Fairy Tail is that everyone is very reliable at critical moments, especially Natsu and others, who feel full of security as soon as they appear.

For example, Natsu and Erza, even if they are defeated for a moment, they always give people confidence that they will win in the end!

Like Laxus and Gildarts, as soon as they appear, it can be declared over.

Like Everit - although he rarely appears in person, as long as you hear his voice, or even not hear his voice, you will feel that you just need to fight with all your strength, and Everit will take care of everything.

"I don't have time to waste with you."

Natsu opened his mouth.

"The fire dragon's roar!!!"

The entire castle was pierced by a huge pillar of fire.

The palace wizards and soldiers looked at this power and were so frightened that their legs weakened.

"Walk!"

Natsu took the lead.

"Lucy, follow me." Lucy grabbed Future Lucy's right hand, but it was empty.

"Lucy. Your hand."

Lucy jerked off Future Lucy's mage cloak.

"ah!!!!"

Lucy screamed.

Next to them, Wendy, Xia Lulu and Habi also looked shocked.

When Natsu heard the sound and looked back, he was also stunned.

On the other side, Arugadios, who parted ways because he did not want to go to Fairy Tail and definitely disapproved of the act of rebellion, was running towards the place where the princess and Denton were. He knew that they must be at the Eclipse Gate. .

He must prevent the Eclipse Gate from opening!

Tens of thousands of dragons——

The crisis that destroys the world——

It comes out of the Eclipse Gate!

This is a huge scam.

‘Pfft’

Suddenly, Arugadios' body froze.

He lowered his head in disbelief and saw a black spear pierced through his chest.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Arugadios was unable to turn around because he was blocked by the spear, but he had already guessed that the person who did it must be the person who deceived the princess.

"That's not something you should know," the voice replied.

"You are!" Arugadios heard the voice, combined with magic, and immediately guessed the identity of the other party!

But just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The opponent twisted the head of the gun, widening the wound, and then pulled out the spear.

‘Plop’

Arugadios fell to the ground and closed his eyes unwillingly.

Before losing consciousness, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching slowly.

'clatter'

'clatter'

'clatter'

The sound of leather shoes.

The other person walked slowly and steadily.

Then Arugadios' consciousness fell into chaos as the footsteps went away.

the other side.

Princess Emerald and Secretary of Defense Denton were describing their plans in front of the Eclipse Gate.

At the same time, Lucy lost her right arm because of the future.

As a result, the scene on the castle side was quiet.

No one noticed that the deep darkness was slowly approaching.

"Your right hand." Lucy didn't know what to say.

"Can you show me your right hand?" Future Lucy smiled.

Lucy stretched out her hand.

Future Lucy fondled the guild emblem on the back of Lucy's right hand with nostalgia.

'Crack'

Natsu gritted his teeth.

He knew how much Lucy cherished the guild emblem.

When Lucy first joined the guild, she was still vividly remembered showing off in front of him after getting the emblem printed on her.

"Everyone be careful!"

Gajeel suddenly issued a warning, but the next second, he was caught by the darkness and pressed against the wall, unable to move.

Everyone came back to their senses, only to find that the ceiling, walls, and ground were already covered with darkness.

The darkness controlled everyone.

"This magic." Gajeel narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized it, so he didn't resist at the first time.

'Gululu'

At the end of the corridor, the black fog slowly enveloped.

Natsu's nose twitched and asked, "Rogue?"

"As expected of Mr. Natsu and Mr. Gajeel." The figure in the black fog appeared.

Compared to the more well-behaved Rogue now, this Rogue seems much more rebellious, with black and white hair, tattoos on his face, and a curved dragon king smile at the corner of his mouth, a complete killer Matt style.

"You are not the Rogue of now." Xia Lulu said.

"That's right." Future Rogue nodded: "I am Rogue from the future, to be precise, Rogue seven years later."

"Except for me," Future Lucy was shocked.

"You came back with the help of the Eclipse Gate?" Gajeel asked.

"That's right." Future Rogue nodded.

"What for?"

"To open the Eclipse Gate."

Future Rogue's words made everyone silent.

"Rogue, do you know what you are talking about? Once this door is opened and connected to the past world, countless dragons will come to this era." Gajeel said.

"I know." Future Rogue nodded.

"Then why do you still want to do such a thing?" Wendy questioned angrily.

"This is the only way to prevent the world from being completely destroyed." Future Rogue said.

"What?" Everyone frowned. If the door is not opened, there will be no dragons, and how can the world be destroyed?

"I come from the destroyed world seven years later." Future Rogue said: "In the near future, Zeref will return to this world. No one knows how he came back, but he brought the end of the world."

"And Acnologia, they joined forces to end human civilization."

Everyone listened to the news in shock.

"So - if we don't open the Eclipse Gate, we will face Zeref and Acnologia, but if we open the Eclipse Gate, I have learned dragon-controlling magic, which only dragon-slayers can do."

"I will hand them over to you, and let you control 10,000 dragons with me, and then attack Acnologia and Zeref."

"I think - even the two of them can't resist 10,000 dragons."

Future Rogue's words are very reasonable.

But there are some flaws.

Lucy asked first: "Why do you want to open the Eclipse Gate in this era instead of in your era?"

Future Rogue said: "It takes a lot of magic to open the Eclipse Gate. Only by opening it now can we cross four hundred years of time and space. I can't do it in the era seven years later. But we can summon Wanlong first, use their magic, and then travel to seven years later. After solving this matter, we will send you back, Mr. Natsu."

Everyone nodded slightly, knowing why Future Rogue came to this era.

Gajeel then asked: "You said that Zeref returned to this world? How did he come back to life?"

There is a trap in this question, because they knew that Zeref was not dead at all when they were on Tianlang Island.

Future Rogue said: "Zerf is not dead, he has been alive, but he has not awakened. I think-he should keep a look that does not look vicious, but that is not his nature. The real Zeref, needless to say, everyone knows how evil he is."

No one refuted this.

Everyone even remembered the demon behind Yefrit, Miko, who was also very honest, but that didn't mean they were kind and decent.

Especially the demons like Zeref, who had created them. For the past four hundred years, they had always been natural disasters, always bringing disaster and terror to people.

Although the contracted demons have appeared now, the reputation of demons has gradually been whitened, but this does not include Zeref's demons.

Even -

According to the characteristics of the two demons, everyone has treated them separately, like two species.

Most of the contracted demons are not strong, and they are not hostile to humans. They are considered to be demons - a kind of intelligent creatures different from humans.

People call them "natural demons". They are creatures born of nature, and they are what the real demon race should be like - just like the demons on Karna Island that Natsu and others have visited.

And Zeref's demons are pure bad guys, man-made, born with original sin, they are not worthy of being called creatures at all - they have no mercy and kindness, they only know how to destroy, just like the ruthless natural disasters, like volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

They are specifically called "Original Sin Demons" and their appearance is a sin!

Future Rogge has passed this test.

Xia Lulu asked again: "Where did you learn the dragon control magic? Is it really useful? Why not use it on the black dragon?"

The first question is really confusing, but the last question is also a trap - Acnologia is not a dragon, but a dragon slayer!

"I invented the technology of the future myself." Future Rogge said: "As for controlling Acnologia, I can't do it because he is a human, to be precise - the final form of the Dragon Slayer Mage. ”

Correct answer again.

Lucy asked: "Why? Four hundred years later, Zeref and Acnologia will come to destroy the world?"

Zeref's failure to awaken may be explained by the fact that when he awakens, he will become an evil villain.

But when Acnologia thought about it calmly, he had been wandering around for the past four hundred years. Although he occasionally did things similar to the original sin demon, destroying towns and even countries, he seemed to have no reason to suddenly destroy the world - destruction The country can be said to be tyrannical because of its strength, but to destroy the world, there must be a purpose and idea to support Acnologia to do this. He cannot be bored.

Future Rogge remained unfazed and replied: "Because of the sudden appearance of these demons."

"Nature demon?" Everyone frowned.

"That's right." Future Rogge said: "One day not long ago, the natural demons lost control. They were originally kind and peace-loving, and suddenly became as violent as Zeref's original sin demon."

"However, they didn't harm humans. They just attacked Zeref and Acnologia like crazy, which made each other angry."

"If that's what you say -" Xia Lulu said: "Then, as long as we don't open the door and then investigate the reason why the natural demon became angry and attacked those two people, then we can solve this crisis of world destruction."

"Don't talk to him anymore," Gajeel said suddenly.

"What?" Everyone looked at him.

Gajeel said: "Yevrit studied demons seven years ago. The demons he created were very kind and could easily make contracts."

"And in the past seven years, a large number of kind-hearted devils who can contract have appeared in the two worlds."

"Everyone knows where these demons came from."

Everyone was silent.

In the world of Edras before, most people had not guessed this, and just regarded it as a magical feature of that world - just like the kingdom of Mystergan on the next continent, which used magic tools as magic.

But--

Until everyone returned to Island and discovered the same contract magic.

Originally, smarter people like Mirajane had already made guesses, but this time - even Natsu knew what was going on.

As for the century-old history of demons in other worlds, etc.

In fact, it is full of flaws.

The simplest one - in the Great Demon Fight, everyone has only learned the contract magic for three years, and everyone disintegrates it with one hand.

As a result, in the different world, contract magic has been developed for hundreds of years. It was not until everyone was fighting in the palace that a dozen disintegrating magicians appeared.

Once you realize it, you can unravel Yevrit's deceptive magic.

In addition, Everit didn't intend to hide it deeply. He would just find out when he was discovered.

After everyone knew about this, they didn't say it out loud and pretended not to know. Anyway, Everit wouldn't do bad things, even if sometimes he was very mischievous - such as Laxus's civil war in the Fairy Tail guild, but it turned out in the end, yeah Flit saved Laxus and the guild from splitting up and losing their comrades.

Therefore, even if Everit is fooling around, everyone believes in him, and the final result must be good!

Future Rogge had an unsurprised expression on his face, obviously he also knew about this.

Gajeel continued: "Yevrit is cursed. He is the source of those demons. Once he dies, those demons will naturally be unable to be controlled, such as the one behind him."

This also corresponds to the words collected by the emerald dragon Kilconis in the underground cave and the Dragon Cemetery.

Kilconis finally said: "Heramus will definitely let out a sorrowful cry that will destroy the world."

Heramus is Miss Miko.

so--

What happened is——

Everit was cursed by God and died. Miss Miko was grieved and decided to take revenge, but she was naturally not enough to defeat God.

Then for some unknown reason, she attacked Acnologia and Zeref. This was definitely not the end of her actions. Her end must be to seek revenge from God—perhaps, to gain the power of the two before she could deal with them. God challenges something.

Dragon Slayer is easier to understand - Natsu often eats various things to form new forms. For example, he once ate the magic power of Everit and developed the "Miracle Fire Type", which he used as a ultimate move.

However, this will naturally anger Zeref and Acnologia. If the two enemies can unite, the enemy will naturally not be a weak human being, but someone of the same level or even stronger. That can only It’s——Heramus who controls all the natural demons in the entire world.

"so--"

Xia Lulu looked gloomy and said, "Maybe you didn't hide it from us and told the truth, but there is one thing you didn't tell us."

"What?" Future Rogge said calmly.

"The Emerald Dragon Kilconis said: Herames, four hundred years ago, bewitched a dragon, causing the dragon race to split, and then gave birth to Acnologia, and then completely destroyed the dragon race." Xia Lulu said: "So - Herames has the power to bewitch people."

"Behind you, is Herames."

"You were bewitched by her."

"Part of the truth is hidden. In the future battlefield seven years later, Herames controls the natural demons and cannot resist the attacks of Acnologia and Zeref. She needs helpers - that is naturally the dragon race."

Herames is very strong - but she can't beat Acnologia and Zeref.

Yeflit didn't say this, but everyone guessed it.

When on Tianlang Island, facing a desperate situation, Herames appeared, but she only barely resisted Acnologia's attack.

Then Zeref took action and broke her invincible defense.

Yefrit was injured, and if everyone hadn't run fast, they would have been wiped out.

For Herames, Yefrit is absolutely the most important. If Yefrit couldn't be protected in that situation, it shows the limit of Herames - it ranks third in this world, lower than Acnologia and Zeref.

After Yefrit's death, the future Herames went crazy, but she also knew that she couldn't defeat the two.

Then - she had to find helpers.

This helper is naturally - the dragon clan.

"So--" Gajeel said, "We don't need to waste time with him. The source of the destruction lies in the death of Yefrit. We naturally have confidence in Yefrit. As long as we tell him about this, he can avoid death."

"But--"

"Rogge, you won't believe it, right."

"That's right." Future Rogge nodded: "Only a few hours, before the Eclipse Gate opens, he will have died--"

"Maybe--"

"He's dead now."

"So--I won't bet on this probability. The safest way now is to determine that Mr. Yefrit is dead, and the best measure we can take is to summon Wanlong and defeat Acnologia and Zeref."

"Then what? Leaving the crazy Herames to fight the gods and truly destroy the world?" Gajeel said sarcastically.

"I don't understand." Natsu spoke at this time: "But I know that we must go back quickly, Rogge--"

Natsu's magic power is increasing: "If you don't want to be beaten, get out of here!"
