Chapter 570 Since you have such good taste, I'll make sure you don't die too painfully later.
The ever-increasing aura of terror, like a volcanic eruption, spread outwards in all directions from Yin himself.
The raging storm even affected gravity, lifting rubble and debris from the ground and suspending them in mid-air – a truly horrifying sight!
Lucy's smug look vanished instantly, her nerves tensing as she finally realized what kind of monster she was facing.
Wow, can you really do what Chesgo did three years ago with such ease?
No! Even if we can't do it, we absolutely cannot back down at a time like this!
She clenched her fists instinctively, and the confusion and lack of confidence deep in her beautiful eyes were gradually replaced by determination, and a fighting spirit surged within her.
The cowardly west who once thought of running away at the first sign of a strong enemy is gone. Now, the one who takes the stage is—
He's an S-class tsukkomi (吐槽星人, a term for someone who makes sarcastic or sarcastic remarks) from Fairy Tail!
To maintain such fearlessness in the face of such pressure shows that this little girl has really grown a lot.
Yin took in her changing expression. Recalling the card imp he met in the demon village, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He thought to himself, "That bastard son is quite lucky to have met these companions."
Although he is a "corpse" controlled by the Dark Priest Keith using necromancy, his memories and personality still exist, and he has a very high degree of freedom.
Let me see if his practical skills match his mental fortitude.
Thinking of this, Yin withdrew the storm of aura surrounding him and was about to make a move when a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"You bastard! Don't you dare bully Lucy!!"
A glint of cold light appeared first, followed by a cat emerging like a dragon.
Using the power provided by Happy's full speed mode, Natsu leaps up and delivers a kick!
"puff!"
The speed was so fast, and since most of Silver's attention was on Lucy, he had barely heard the sound when a heavy blow came from his waist, causing his eyes to bulge exaggeratedly from their sockets.
A strange force followed, and Yin was sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into a building.
Boom!
The house collapsed instantly, and rubble mixed with thick smoke covered the area.
The sense of urgency and the image of "absolute zero" that had been painstakingly created were ruined in an instant.
Lucy, who was already in full battle gear and ready for anything: "————"
However, wouldn't it be a bit impolite to fly over and interrupt the enemy when they are charging up their ultimate attack?
"Lucy, are you alright?" Natsu didn't even glance at Silver before rushing anxiously to Lucy's side.
"No, it's nothing, thanks Natsu."
Despite her inner grumbling, Lucy was still a little touched by Natsu's warm concern. "Why did you guys come over?"
"We heard the commotion and came over when Chess's card magic suddenly activated while we were eating," Natsu said with a smile.
He was not far from Lucy.
"Oh, eating was a few minutes ago. Actually, we were just washing dishes," Happy honestly stated the truth.
"So you two really did skip out on the bill and dine and dash!" Lucy recalled the scene of the two of them devouring the food at the table.
"Haha, hahaha, we'll definitely pay you back after the battle!"
Natsu chuckled and scratched his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Lucy. "Anyway, Lucy, you have plenty of money."
"So you're only interested in Watashi's money! Don't even think about it!" Lucy immediately distanced herself from these two money-losers.
The small moment of emotion I felt when I saw Natsu kick Silver for my sake quickly dissipated.
Just then, a loud crash came from the ruins of the collapsed house.
"We were really careless."
Amidst the billowing smoke, Yin pushed away the boulder pressing down on him, stretched his neck, scratched his head, and walked slowly with steady steps.
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Happy's expression froze for a moment: "Wait, this guy—"
"How strange, aren't our enemies demons?"
Natsu sniffed in surprise, looking confused. "Why does he smell so much like that bastard Gray?!"
Whoosh!
The moment Gray uttered the word, Natsu was instantly encased in a light purple frost.
"Don't mention that name in front of me. I have nothing to do with him!"
Silver's eyes were gloomy, as if he had become a different person, and his eyes revealed disgust and anger.
"Wow, so fast!" Lucy exclaimed instinctively.
The next second, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and flames flickered deep within the purple ice. Within a few breaths, it reached its limit and shattered and exploded.
Freed from the ice, Natsu stepped out, continuing to insist on his opinion, pointing west: "You damn old man, you guys really do smell alike. Go smell it for yourself, he's right there!"
Although there was an element of being killed at first sight, it is an indisputable fact that in the original work, when he first met Gin, he was instantly killed by the Ice Demon Slayer Technique.
But now he is able to break free on his own, which shows his growth!
"Not everyone has a nose as sensitive as yours, okay? It's not so much about the smell, but rather that we look alike," Lucy retorted, covering her face.
Even she herself didn't notice that after Natsu appeared, her tense nerves relaxed.
Silver was slightly taken aback, probably not expecting Natsu to escape so easily.
However, he quickly calmed down and chuckled coldly, "Heh, I see, that guy's here too—"
He outwardly maintained a cold demeanor, but upon hearing that his son had also come to the Principality of Veronica, the old father could not suppress his longing.
According to the information about Fairy Tail provided by Crawford, Gray and the fire dragon Natsu in front of him are like fire and water, and can be considered as mages of the same level.
Since Natsu possesses the power to counter the Ice Slayer Magic, Gray is probably not much different.
Having committed many unforgivable sins in the Gates of Tartaros over the years, if that brat had enough magnanimity... Thinking of this, Silver seemed to make up his mind, raised his cloak, and turned to leave right in front of Nazruce.
Influenced by a certain cunning card player, Lucy inexplicably felt an urge to shoot a Star Chart History into his back.
Natsu, being very straightforward, said, "Hey! Don't go yet, old man, you're strong, let's fight first!"
"Your opponent is someone else." Silver didn't turn around, but simply raised his right hand and waved it.
Upon hearing this, a burly merman demon with a face covered in scales appeared in the darkness of the street not far away.
It is one of the Nine Ghost Gates, and it is Trafalgar, who has mastered two kinds of spells: hard spells and black water spells—"Darkness"!
"There's a demon hiding here?!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
"Silver, this isn't what we agreed on," Trafalgar said coldly.
In their plan, silver would attract attention in the open while it lurked in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
"I have more important things to deal with now," Yin said nonchalantly, then turned into a black shadow and disappeared from the spot.
He never intended to cooperate with the demon he hated most.
"You're just a mere human, you bastard!" Traf shouted angrily.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a blazing fist, its magical energy surging undisguised, lashed out at it.
Trafalgar's eyes narrowed, and he instantly activated a hardening spell, forcefully withstanding Natsu's Fire Dragon Iron Fist.
"Lucy, I'll handle this guy. You and Happy go after the suspect, Gray's dad!"
Natsu unleashed an even greater burst of power, blasting Trafalgar away, and then turned to Lucy with a smile.
Despite it being their first meeting, he quickly realized that Yin was not some heinous demon.
"What do you mean by 'suspected of being Grey's dad'?!" Lucy exclaimed.
That being said, she was actually a little concerned about Silver's relationship with Gray.
Furthermore, since he had complete faith in Natsu, he didn't stand on ceremony and called Happy to chase after the direction where Silver had disappeared.
"Don't even think about escaping the hunt in the underworld!"
Black water surged forth, and Trafalgar, who had been blasted away, bent his arm, his fin-like joints flashing with a sharp, cold light as he aimed at Lucy.
"The Fire Dragon's Claw!"
The claws wreathed in flames forcibly intercepted him, and the collision of flames and black water created high-temperature steam that leveled the surrounding area.
Natsu and Trafalgar landed at the same time.
"Hehe, you seem pretty good too, I'm fired up!" Natsu glanced at Lucy who had run away, and his fist and palm collided, creating a raging fire.
"You mere human, don't be so arrogant!" Trafalgar's face was very ugly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
In the Duchy of Veronica, in the royal castle, in a dimly lit secret room.
"It's quite lively outside, just like the celebration for my impending immortality!"
Before the sealed box that shimmered with a faint light, Prince Krim gazed greedily at the half of the Phoenix Stone stored inside.
After finalizing the cooperation with the Gates of the Underworld, he was immersed in the dream of immortality, unaware that Fairy Tail had already struck, and even less aware that the capital city was now an empty city.
"Let me take one last good look at this capital city that will become the first step towards immortality!"
Krim reluctantly looked away, placed the phoenix stone carefully, and then turned to push open the tightly closed door.
To gain immortality, one must drink the blood of the phoenix, but the birth of the phoenix requires a vast amount of magic power, so the residents of the capital...
Tourists naturally become excellent "nutrients".
However, as soon as he stepped out of the secret room and into the familiar corridor, he was dumbfounded.
The guards who should have been standing on both sides, the maids and servants who were cleaning up, etc., were all nowhere to be seen. It was as if he was the only person left in the huge castle!
The castle was also within the coverage area of the card magic circle, but unfortunately, he was hiding in a secret room isolated by the shielding magic circle and failed to hitch a ride on Chase's evacuation.
Krim sensed a vague unease and hurriedly ran to the terrace outside the castle.
Looking down from the fence, the royal capital, which should have been filled with the joyous laughter of the celebration, was completely empty, with only the occasional huge explosions echoing from several directions in the distance.
"What happened? What on earth happened?"
"Where have all my sacrifices gone?!"
Krim's eyes were bloodshot as he roared with resentment and rage.
At the same time, above the capital city, in a giant underworld beast, in a spacious and brightly lit hall.
Several holographic screens floated in the air, broadcasting real-time battle scenes from various battlefields.
Maldo of Hades sat high on the throne with his legs crossed, flanked by Franmars, who had not participated in the battle, and the Black Monk Keith, along with former Speaker Crawford.
Eclair, or more accurately, Chase, was carelessly abandoned in a remote corner.
Contrary to Lucy's expectations of being hung up and whipped, Maldo arrogantly granted Chase the right to watch the battle, ostensibly to savor the expressions on his faces as his comrades died one after another.
It was a good idea, and it fit the twisted psychology of someone who considered himself a superior species. Unfortunately, things didn't go as Maldo had envisioned.
First, a magic circle suddenly appeared and transferred most of the humans away. Then, the demons sent out failed to capture Fairy Tail in time.
Tongziqie Ethel was instantly killed, becoming the first member of the Nine Ghost Gates to be sent to the Core of Hell!
The Core of Hell, the most crucial and buggy core of the Gates of the Underworld.
As long as it exists, demons that have died in the underworld can be resurrected infinitely through nutrient solution, making them practically immortal.
"Crawford, what's with those golden magic circles?" Maldo asked coldly.
Krim didn't really care about the "sacrifice" he was concerned about; it was just a bit of a hassle to release the demonic phoenix in a city with a larger population.
What annoyed it was that it couldn't appreciate the panic, fear, and ugly faces of humans rushing to escape in order to save their own lives when a crisis struck.
"Those magic circle patterns—there's no mistake, it's Card Mage Chess!"
Crawford stared intently at the holographic screen, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "That guy is Fairy Tail's notorious destroyer, and might even be their guild's strongest mage!"
As the former president of the Magic Council, he knew Chesco all too well.
To shine on the Isle of Calamity's Ruins, to thwart the Tower of Paradise project, and to annihilate the Oración Seis and the Heart of the Devil —
Even the fact that he was dismissed and purged was more or less related to this damned guy!
Upon hearing this assessment, Chase, who was sitting in the corner, was taken aback.
While he is indeed the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, in a true sense, he only truly surpassed the old man and Gildarts after the Tenrou Island incident.
Crawford, this old man, clearly had no concept of this, and it was truly surprising that he could still call himself the strongest under such circumstances.
"Since you have such good taste, I'll make sure you don't die too painfully later," Chase thought to himself.
Influenced by the old man and the atmosphere of Fairy Tail guild, he was not actually that murderous, and he was willing to give even villains who had committed crimes a chance to start anew.
But like Brian, the leader of the Oración Seis and the root of all evil, Crawford must die!
"You guys better be careful, that guy is probably here too, and he might be hiding in some corner waiting to ambush you!"
"Crawford couldn't help but remind me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his obese body was thrown by a sudden, chilling shockwave, crashing against the wall of the hall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you looking down on us, the Gates of the Underworld?" Maldor asked, holding the Book of End, his eyes dark and brooding.
You think you can make the Gates of Hell wary of a mere human? What a joke!
"No, no, Mr. Maldo."
A shadow crossed Crawford's eyes, then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his posture, and smiled. "I just don't want anything to go wrong with our grand plan."
Thinking that this fool might still be useful, Maldo snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, and said no more.
