Chapter 333: What I Saw in Channel E
This was a five-on-three battle. In addition to dealing with the two 'Nine Ghost Gates', the people present also had to deal with the demon soldiers next to them. It was not easy and was even a bit difficult.
On the other side of Sirius Island, in the last battlefield between fairies and demons, the battle between the two sides is even more difficult than here!
…
“Hu…ha…”
On the messy battlefield, two equally messy figures were lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
Lucy rubbed her injured calf, staring at the enemy in front of her: "So strong... Where did these two guys come from?"
Beside her, Kana also frowned: "Are they really not from the 'Devil's Heart'? They clearly look like demons!"
Lucy and Cana, this weak female duo, met the two remaining demons of the 'Nine Demon Gates': "Black Priest" Keith and "Shoulder Armor" Franmars.
The short and fat yellow demon wearing shoulder armor, Franmars kept talking non-stop: "That was really powerful magic just now. How much is it worth? How much is it worth?"
Beside him, the skull-faced demon, the necromancer Keith, raised his scepter and smashed it to the ground, making the iron rings clang: "Are you still not going to give up?"
Cana looked at the magic emblem on her right forearm and questioned her own strength: "Why...why can't 'Glory' defeat the enemy? Is it because I am not qualified enough?"
"One ignores physical attacks, and the other can absorb souls. Can we really defeat such an enemy with just the two of us ?"
Just when Lucy was worried, a familiar voice sounded from behind her: "Don't worry! With me here, we will definitely win!"
…
Twenty minutes ago...
Before the 'Devil's Heart' set foot on Tenrou Island, Kana and Lucy came to Channel E of the first stage of the assessment to find Mavis' grave.
The path was winding and quiet, with two figures walking slowly.
Although they came here according to Lucy's speculation, all they saw was stones, without any trace of a "grave".
"Where is the grave of the first generation?"
This eight-door maze is large and extremely complex. No matter which path you enter from, you will encounter a fork in the road. When taking the first test, Makarov used fences to close each fork in the road to isolate the seven victory passages. But after , the fence mechanism here changed and many of the forks were also modified.
Although Cana and Lucy now know the exact entrance and have entered the maze from the entrance, they still need to solve the maze here to find the end.
"I thought I had figured out the answer to the question, but it turned out to be just the second difficult question," Lucy sighed. "Sure enough, the test of 'wisdom' is not that simple!"
Kana smiled awkwardly and said, "No... I think it's amazing that you can think of this from the question given by the president..."
The two walked and searched, and unknowingly they had explored most of the currently open maze, but they still did not find Mavis's grave or any related clues.
At this moment, Lucy discovered something: "Look over there!"
Kana looked in the direction of the sound and found that the ground and walls where Lucy pointed were neatly divided, and there were many square rocks scattered on the ground.
"These are... traces of a fight..."
“应该是刚刚纳兹和吉尔达斯战斗留下的吧！”露西摸着下巴沉思，“纳兹说过，他就是在E通道里，通过了吉尔达斯的考核，所以……”
The two of them brightened up at the same time: "The first generation's tomb should be not far from here!"
Thanks to Lucy's wisdom and carefulness, the two finally found a glowing cave after a while.
“Ohhhh!!!”
"That is... the tomb of the first generation?!!" Kana whispered to herself, feeling both excited and nervous, with a faint blush on her face.
Lucy was delighted: "That's great, Cana! This way you can become S-rank!"
Yeah?
After failing this test four times, did she finally pass it?
Can he finally tell his father the truth that has been buried for twelve years?
Thinking of this, countless indescribable emotions surged into Kana's heart, making her nose sore and tears flow down uncontrollably.
Lucy took Cana's hand and walked along the corridor towards the cave. "But... this is so strange! Why is it so bright here? Is the tomb glowing?"
Cana didn't think about Lucy's words, she just walked faster and faster, and in the end she even pulled Lucy towards the exit!
Then……
The scene before them shocked the two of them!
The tomb was actually glowing, and it was very bright, like the dawn that illuminates the darkness, soft, warm, and full of hope.
But what shocked them was not the glowing tomb, but the fact that there were people here!
They are not the first to be here!
What shocked the two of them even more was that the person sitting in front of the grave was not President Makarov, nor anyone in the guild, but a boy they had never seen before!
Black hair, black clothes, white short robe, melancholy eyes and "V" bangs.
Jeff!
Lucy and Cana naturally didn't know Zeref, so they asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?!"
But Jellal didn't answer. He just stood up and prepared to leave after noticing the two people coming.
"Are you... someone from 'Devil's Heart'?"
After hearing what Lucy said, Kana suddenly realized: That's right! The president said that the 'Devil's Heart' would attack Tenrou Island, and this person must be one of theirs!
"I'm not! I see. So, is there a war between 'Fairy Tail' and 'Devil's Heart'?"
At this moment, Jeref, who had just finished a chat with Kira, was trying to strike a delicate balance between "not ignoring the importance of life" and "not triggering the curse".
His answer confused Lucy and Cana: If it wasn't someone from the Devil's Heart, then who could it be? Who else could be on this island? And who could find the grave of the first generation?
A series of questions came to their minds.
The next moment, time seemed to stop flowing here. Lucy and Cana froze in place, while Zeref slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, turned around and left. He disappeared in a few breaths.
Only after his figure completely disappeared in the passage did Lucy and Cana come to their senses.
"What happened? That person disappeared?"
“How strange!”
The two were confused for a moment and could only focus their attention back on the glowing tomb in front of them. The third stage of the assessment was completed, but the second stage was not yet done!
"Even though we found the tomb of the first generation, it's useless if the president is not here!" Kana frowned and said, "And according to the time, the 'Devil's Heart' will be here soon, we have to go out and help!"
Lucy thought about it and said, "That's right! Hmm...how about we write 'Kana and Lucy have been here'? That way, we can prove that we were the first to find the tomb!"
“Good idea!”
Kana couldn't help but walk towards the light in front of the tomb and reached out to touch it. Unexpectedly, the light contained powerful energy, which actually burned her hand.
“Wow——!”
"Are you okay?!"
When Kana withdrew her hand, she suddenly discovered that there were two more lines of text on the light: [One of the three great magics of the fairy, the light of the fairy, is sealed here]
"The light of the fairy?!!"
"The Three Great Fairy Magics..." Lucy said softly, "I remember that they are the three great super magics that have been passed down in the guild for many years, right? 'Fairy Law' is one of them, and Kira also created 'Fairy Judgment' based on that move."
Kana nodded and said with a weird expression: "But it's not magic I want!"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in their ears: [Take it! ]
“This voice…”
"Could it be?!"
【Take the 'Glory' away! 】
The two looked at each other and confirmed their guess: "It's the first president, Mavis!!"
[The island is facing a major crisis now, so take the 'Glory' away, use it to defeat the enemy and protect the guild! ]
"Enemy? Do you mean the 'Devil's Heart'?" Kana asked, "Didn't Kira say they were nothing to worry about?"
[It's not them! It's another enemy! ]
Lucy thought for a moment and asked, "The other enemy... could it be the person just now?"
[That person...may become our enemy in the future, but right now he is not the guild's enemy! ]
"Although you asked us to take away the 'Glory', are we really qualified to use this magic?"
[Of course! I can feel that you have a strong will to protect your companions and the guild, and that's enough! When you can fight to protect your family, you will be qualified to use 'Glory'! ]
Cana looked back at Lucy, who smiled at her: "What are you waiting for? This is recognition from the first president!"
"Um!"
After staring at the center of the light for a moment, Kana finally made up her mind and reached her hand into it. The light in the cave suddenly became bright and dazzling!
"Then I'll leave it to you, First Generation! Please grant me the power to protect my friends!"
After a long time, Kana pulled her arm out, only to see a strange magic emblem on her forearm.
"Is this... 'Fairy's Glory'?"
[Go! Go and defeat the enemies on the island! ]
"yes!!"
