Chapter 291 Kira's Troubles
No matter from which perspective, the biggest problem of Sirius Island is the black dragon, Acnorolia!
"Remember what Zeref said to Hades, [Because of existences like you, I was created, and because of evil thoughts like you, Acnorolia was summoned]..."
Kira closed his eyes and thought for a long time. The more he thought, the more annoyed he became. Finally, he angrily hit the wooden table in front of him with a heavy hammer and cursed: "Jeref, this bastard...can't he just speak properly?! He's like the Riddler. I don't know if what he said is true or just trying to be cool."
"Sooner or later, I will end your empire game!"
After venting, Kira calmed down and made new plans.
Swish, swish, swish…
In the notebook, there were hundreds of words written, filled with Kira's speculations about all the possibilities that would happen next.
The first option is to take all the guild members away from Sirius Island first to avoid the confrontation between the two sides; the second option is to use illusions to delay time, and then let everyone leave through the space channel, causing a "false death" phenomenon; in the worst case scenario, it would be like the original plot, and they would be sealed for seven years.
The main difficulty is that Kira doesn't know what Acnorolia's purpose is.
"Is this guy... just hanging out? Or has he prepared to hunt down Natsu and other Dragon Slayers? Is he here because Zeref wants to fight him? Or is it because the battle between Fairy Tail and Devil's Heart generated a lot of dark energy, which attracted him here? Will he kill us all? Or will he just attack us with all his strength and leave it to fate?"
No matter which one, Kira must find a way to keep a backup plan!
While thinking, Kira looked at the magic props piled up behind him and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I wonder if these things are useful?"
During the one month at Demisool Academy, Kira was not only playing the teacher-student game of house, but also continued to research and develop magic props in his spare time.
Just as Kira was worried about the appearance of the black dragon, undercurrents lurking in the magic world were also stirring.
…
Somewhere in the Kingdom of Fiore, in a quiet valley, a huge magic airship was parked proudly.
Countless mysterious wizards wearing blue-black hooded robes and holding various magical weapons were going in and out between the valley and the airship. They talked in low voices and observed carefully, but without exception, everyone's attention was focused on the cabin of the airship.
People in the Dark Magic Guild are not all arrogant and lawless. It is more difficult for dark forces to survive than light forces. The law of survival of the fittest is fully demonstrated here. Therefore, if you want to live longer and better, observing people's words and expressions is a must-learn skill.
These magicians were all calm and attentive, afraid of missing any move in the cabin.
This is the headquarters of the dark magic guild 'Devil's Heart', one of the Balamu Alliance Triangle.
At this moment, in this huge magic airship that can carry thousands of people, in the spacious central cabin, one person was sitting and several people were standing.
The only seat is in the middle of the wall facing the gate. The chair is not particularly noble and luxurious. It is just made of unknown animal bones. It is useless except for its size. However, it is the exclusive seat for the strongest person here.
At this moment, the seat was occupied by the oldest person in the room.
This unique position represents the supreme power and unrivaled strength in the guild. It has only one owner, and only one person!
The powerful man who led the "Devil's Heart" and dominated the darkness of the Ishgar magic world for half a century.
The leader of 'Devil's Heart', Hades Precito!
No one here knew how old Hades was. Even Urrutia, who was standing next to him and the first one to join the guild and the leader of the Seven Families of Purgatory, only remembered that when she first saw Hades, he was already gray-haired.
Hades wore a helmet with two devil horns on his head, covering his long white hair. He had a black eye patch on his right eye, a beard that reached his belly on his chin, and a black cloak on his back, which was the standard equipment for a strong man.
He is not wearing armor, but he is more powerful and domineering than anyone else; he does not display any magic power, but no one dares to underestimate his strength.
A wizard of his level could already control his magic power freely. Compared to those clowns who always bluffed and released their magic power to show off their strength, people like Hades were more feared.
Besides him, there were several other people in the room.
Lastiros, Huayuan, and Melty who did not participate in the "Attack on Demisool Academy", as well as Urrutia who just returned a month ago, and Gerard who arrived unexpectedly.
These five people are the only high-end combat forces Hades can use now.
"Now, all the keys are in my hands! The time is coming!" Hades' voice was as old as his face, but deep and powerful, "The day when the legendary black wizard Zeref will be resurrected!"
"We need to...awaken Zeref 's soul!"
Just two sentences, not even a speech, not to mention "boss's promises", so it couldn't boost morale much. However, Jellal and Urrutia, who had read "Workplace Training (by Kira Hoplite)", didn't show any flaws on their faces, but cooperated and showed excitement.
"Awakening Zeref's soul? That sounds really interesting!"
The first to speak was Jellal, who, as usual, was wearing his favorite blue clothes, emitting a dark and evil aura, and stood in front of Hades.
"For this day, you didn't hesitate to slaughter tens of thousands of lives, and even let Urrutia lurk beside me and use me to enter the Council, just to get that 'key'. You really have a far-reaching plan!"
"I never thought that you, who are always calm, would say something like this. Haven't you learned enough lessons before?"
It was Urrutia who spoke, her tone was mocking and sarcastic, as if the person who had used Jellal for eight years was not her.
Jellal's breathing stagnated, and he looked at Urrutia with cold eyes: "If it's you, I don't mind giving it a try, who is going to teach whom a lesson!"
Seeing that the confrontation between the two was getting more intense, the other three hurried to dissuade them.
Lastiros posed handsomely. "It seems that I reminded you of some unpleasant experiences, Gerald. But since we are all companions now, I suggest you put aside the past grudges and be more obedient!"
Hua Yuan stammered, "I I I... I I I have the same feeling..."
"Let me translate: 'I feel the same way'!"
As if she couldn't handle the speed at which he was talking, Melty spoke directly, then added, "If a fight comes, I'm definitely not on your side."
Urrutia looked at Melty, with three parts of tenderness, three parts of melancholy, two parts of guilt and two parts of reluctance in her eyes. She always felt a little guilty about this simple girl. She didn't dare to face her, but she didn't want to lose her.
After hearing the "truth about Zeref" from Kira, she began to question Hades's collection of the "key to resurrect Zeref" for so many years. Naturally, she felt more sympathy for Melty who was harmed by it.
Originally, they massacred everyone in the town of Melty in order to obtain the key to revive Zeref, and the one who committed this crime was Urrutia.
Jellal sneered as if he didn't care. "She was the one who provoked me first! Besides, anyone who has been fooled for eight years, even sacrificing friendship and love, and spending countless manpower and financial resources to realize an impossible dream, would react like this! To Urrutia, I think I have been very restrained!"
"Hearing you say that, I begin to sympathize with you!" Rastilos spread his hands and said gracefully, "Such a miserable experience may enrich my illusions!"
Gerard seemed to be in a bad mood at this time, and he directly retorted: "Using other people's pain as raw material to become stronger is a very bad behavior!"
“That’s enough!”
Hades used his remaining left eye to scan everyone one by one and said, "I took you in because of your strength and ambition, and because of your pursuit of Jellal. I didn't want to see you complaining about your past here!"
Jellal could only lower his head and use his hood to cover his eyes that revealed resentment and malice.
Hades nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone, "As long as you wake up Jellal and enter the great magic world, you can make up for your past regrets!"
