Chapter 334: Underworld Island
In less than an hour, the members of 'Gate of Hades' painted Sirius Island red and black.
The red is blood, the blood of humans and demons mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish; the black is magic and cursed power, born from "love" and "hate", two completely different forces , pushing the battle on Sirius Island to its climax.
The small demons of 'Gate of Hades' and the minion wizards of 'Heart of the Devil' are fighting fiercely, with blood flowing like a river!
Resentment, magic, cursed power, fear, sadness, unwillingness, death... all imaginable or unimaginable negative energy and negative emotions are mixed together, turning into the purest evil and darkness, turning Tenrou Island into a living purgatory on earth.
On the sea, on the Council ship, Doranbart's figure appeared again.
Not long ago, Doranbart, also known as Mest, realized that the war between "Devil's Heart" and "Fairy Tail" had started. He returned to the ship while Wendy was fighting Melty and reported the matter.
This news naturally aroused Lahar's concerns, and he even said, "The Council may take special measures." After weighing the pros and cons, Doranbart wanted to use his teleportation magic to take Wendy and other guild members away.
But when he returned to Sirius Island again, he found that the two had disappeared. After inquiring, he discovered that a new enemy, the demon from the "Gate of Hades", had landed on Sirius Island.
Doranbart learned the news from the members of the 'Devil's Heart' and fled back to his base in a panic during the melee between them and the demons.
"Where did you go just now?!" As soon as he appeared, the captain Lahar shouted, "You also took the crystal that contacts the headquarters! Do you know that..."
However, in response to his questioning, Dolanbart simply lowered his head and murmured, "The Gate of Hades..."
"What did you say?" Lahar was stunned.
"It's 'Gate of Hades'!!"
Doranbart said again, "In addition to 'Devil's Heart', there is also 'Gate of Hell'! These two dark guilds are simultaneously waging war against 'Fairy Tail'!"
His tone became excited. "There is one more thing. The members of 'Gate of Hades' are all demons! Real demons! They kill anyone they see. There is no room for communication at all!!"
Lahar was shocked by the news brought by his subordinate: "You said demon..."
"On the island ahead, the three strongest guilds of light and darkness in the magic world are now in the middle of an unprecedented melee!!!"
…
The island of Hades is the place where demons have signed a contract with the god of the underworld, Mardo.
When it fully wakes up, it can devour the people inside and turn them into its own nutrients; fortunately, now this huge beast has not yet awakened, so it is just a small square island.
Kira and Urrutia set foot on the territory of the Underworld Island, chatting while searching for the entrance.
"Is this the headquarters of 'Gate of Hell'? It looks similar to our guild's airship!"
Urrutia looked left and right, as if he had discovered a new world. In fact, this could indeed be considered a new world.
"You could watch your words a little more! Urrutia...-san!"
Kira corrected him seriously, "If the guild you're referring to is the 'Devil's Heart' which now has only three available combat forces, then maybe it would be more appropriate to call it the 'Former Guild'! Now you're a member of the 'Moneymaking Organization'!"
“So, ‘Twelve Holy Swords’ sounds a bit too naive!” Urrutia looked back and chuckled, “If it’s the position of vice president or financial officer, I can accept it!”
"Haha... wishful thinking!"
How could I possibly give you such an important position?
Ultear rolled his eyes at Kira and changed the subject: "What were you looking for since the beginning?"
"Looking for the entrance to the 'Underworld Island'!"
"Entrance?"
Kira nodded: "You saw it on the way here just now, right? Groups of demons scattered together!"
"Um...you're going to go in through the hole they came out of?"
Ultear immediately guessed Kira's intention, "But judging from the scale, this demon's lair is not small! And the other party has almost sent out all of them, so they probably won't be considerate enough to leave one or two to show you the way. So here comes the problem!"
"What's the problem?"
"How are you going to find the laboratory where the 'core of hell' is located?"
Kira: ? ?
"Wouldn't it be better to just destroy all the rooms? It's not a good thing anyway. If we don't destroy it now, are we going to keep it for the New Year?"
“…”
"I find you really have no brains..." Kira looked at Urrutia teasingly, "I told you to read more! What do you usually read?"
Urrutia: The method you mentioned is not something a smart person can come up with!!!
"You wrote 'Workers' Guidelines', 'Labor Law', 'How to Deal with Black-Hearted Bosses'..."
“Ahem… that’s enough, that’s enough!”
Kira interrupted immediately, thinking: I don't know where this woman's resentment comes from. Isn't she too quickly integrated into the identity of a "worker"? It's been less than a month! She hasn't even passed the probation period! Sure enough, this kind of employee who has too many opinions about the boss (himself) should be fired during the probation period!
The surface of the Underworld Island has its own gravity field, that is, when it is suspended in the air, people can stand firmly on the six sides of its surface; but inside, its gravity field is the same as that of the outside world, equivalent to a multi-story square castle.
“Found it!”
After some exploration, Kira and Urrutia finally found a large opening. Standing outside and looking in, they could see a long corridor with several stairs on both sides leading to unknown places. But the most eye-catching thing was the stone walls, which looked like those of a primitive tribe, and the rows of candles inserted on the walls.
"What a gloomy place it is!"
It was not until he entered and adjusted to the changes in gravity around him that Kira complained out loud.
Urrutia looked around and asked, "Do you really want to destroy everything here?"
"What's wrong?"
"I just advise you to think about it before you do it. What if you get buried?"
Kira followed Urrutia's gaze and suddenly realized: it turned out that the two of them were at the bottom of the inner castle!
If all the rooms were destroyed as Kira just said, it would most likely cause a structural collapse and the two of them would be buried under the boulders.
"Don't we have your Arc of Time? If we get buried, just use your magic to return the stones to their original positions!"
This kind of problem is not worth mentioning to Kira. Isn't the magic of "Arc of Time" used for this?
Urrutia held down his raised fist and refused calmly, "I'm a wizard! Not a digger!"
"Then we have to use another method!"
"another??"
Kira whispered, "Amplify!"
The magic of words reappeared, and the magical power lingered around him, ready to transmit his next words to every corner of the Underworld Island.
"Maldo!!! Come out to receive customers!!!"
There was a loud roar, and Urrutia felt that the ceiling above his head, the wall in front of him, and the ground under his feet were shaking, and three of the candles in the row on the wall were extinguished.
But the most serious damage was to her ears!
"Are you an idiot? Do you think that the enemy can be provoked by this method?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hearing the noise, Kira turned around and chuckled: "Hey hey... slapped in the face, right?"
Voices, some big, some small, some strong, some thin, came from the end of the corridor, jumped out from the stairs beside, and crawled over from the ceiling.
Soon, dozens of demons of various shapes gathered in front of the two men, all with bloodshot eyes, ferocious faces, fangs and sharp claws.
"Look, the enemy is coming out now, isn't it?"
