Chapter 353 Repair
" I am very pleased that you have such awareness!"
Kira smiled with satisfaction, nodded, quickly took the Book of 'END' from Gray's hand, and put it into his own storage space.
"You... forget it!" Gray was not paying attention and the book in his hand disappeared in a flash. He could only give up, "Shouldn't we tell Natsu about this? And the president!"
Judging from Kira's behavior, Gray guessed that the other party had known about this for a while, but had kept it a secret and didn't let anyone else know. This was very different from Kira's usual big-mouthed personality!
"That's right! When you encounter trouble, you should ask your parents for help. This is what children should do!"
Gray's expression fell: "Who are you calling a kid? Aren't you much older than me?!"
"We must tell everyone about this. After all, we can't let Natsu's life be controlled by that book and Zeref forever!"
"What does this have to do with Jeff?"
Seeing that Gray was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Kira could only repeat the story of Zeref: "...Once Zeref dies, Natsu, as Etrius, will also die! So we have to cut off the connection between Natsu and the book before that!"
Kira patted Gray on the shoulder and said, "Relax! Once we return to the guild safely, I will explain this matter to everyone, and then we can work together to find a solution! By the way, I think your power to destroy evil will be needed at that time. After all, it's... Damn!"
"What's wrong?" Gray was startled by Kira's sudden scream. He looked around quickly and found nothing unusual. He asked, "What happened?"
Kira covered his wrinkled face with his hands, wanting to cry but unable to. "It's over! I just made a very, very, very serious mistake! I never thought... I, who have always been so cautious, would make such a mistake one day! Damn it!"
"What did you do?" Gray was confused, and then asked hurriedly: "Did you do anything to the Book of END?"
As he said that, he quickly glanced at Natsu and found that he was fine and was having a great time with Happy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I...I...I've made a promise!" Kira opened his arms and embraced the sky, his face falling. "Oh my god! Is this karma? Because I stopped Gildarts before, now the retribution is on me?"
Seeing Kira's acting, Gray subconsciously thought that the problem should not be serious: "I'm talking to you! Don't make such jokes again in the future!"
What Gray didn't expect was that Kira became even more panicked after hearing this!
"It's over... It's over... I'm really done now! How about I just abandon them and run away? I feel like I'll be in big trouble if I continue like this!"
"What happened to Kira?"
Makarov seemed to have finished training Hades, and came over with Natsu and Happy.
Facing Natsu, Gray still had some complicated emotions. He just scratched his head helplessly and awkwardly and said, "It's nothing! As for Kira... it's normal for him to behave abnormally."
Natsu and Happy looked at each other and said , "That makes sense!"
Kira stopped and looked around. He found Hades still there, looking depressed as if he had lost his purpose in life. He asked, "Is it okay just like that?"
Makarov knew what Kira meant, closed his eyes and nodded, "After all, he is my mentor who taught me a lot. This time, please spare his life for my sake!"
Kira nodded indifferently: "You are the president, you have the final say!"
"The enemies have all been defeated. We have won the war!"
Makarov took a deep breath and announced to the three people present, as well as Gildarts, Kana and others who had just arrived, "Everyone, go back to the camp and gather!"
The happiest ones were undoubtedly Natsu and Happy. They cheered and jumped in the front like children who had not grown up, as if Makarov's two words had eliminated all their fatigue.
“Ohhhh!!!”
“We won!!”
…
More than half an hour later, at the Sirius Island Camp.
It was already night, and everyone was gathered together, including the two outsiders, Gerard and Urrutia.
Jellal and Laxus were both hit by the magic barrier particles. Although Ultear brought the "Magic Barrier Particle Eliminator" that Kira had taken from Silver, they still suffered immeasurable damage.
"By the way, sucking the magic barrier particles into the black hole of 'Dark Paradise' is too ridiculous, right? That's magic! Using magic to deal with magic barrier particles..." Kira looked at the unconscious Jellal and thought, "Could this guy also use his willpower?"
Erza sat near Jellal and looked at him silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
Kira listened to it briefly using the sound magic he had learned from Cobra, which he was not very proficient in. The content was roughly: Using that magic born in darkness to protect others... Jellal, you have really embarked on the path of atonement... and so on.
Kira didn't intend to listen to it anyway.
The magic barrier particles were naturally released after the Storm exploded. Jellal used Dark Paradise to absorb about 70% of them, and the rest was swallowed by Laxus with his special physique as a Dragon Slayer. Jellal was unable to swallow it, but he was also hurt by it.
For the sake of Albagreen and Elfman who were unconscious at the time, for Tenrou Island, and for the other people on Tenrou Island, Laxus made this choice without hesitation, but because of this, he was injured much more seriously than Jellal and could not get out of bed for at least a month.
Fortunately, Ultia arrived in time and cleared out the magic particles in his body in the shortest time possible; Wendy also arrived in time and gave him emergency treatment, which allowed Laxus to save his life.
Albagreen and Elfman, who fell first, have now woken up. The former sits silently beside Laxus with the Thunder Gods, while the latter also sits beside his sisters in silence, as if confessing his own weakness.
In addition to the patient group and the silent group, there are also two chat groups.
One team is Urrutia and Melty. If nothing unexpected happens, they are making plans for the future. The other team is Kana and Gildarts. The father and daughter opened their hearts to each other not long ago and explained their identities. Then they hugged each other and cried and laughed. Not long after, they started drinking and said, "You are worthy of being my daughter."
In addition, there are two heartless teams on the field, which can also be called the love team, namely Natsu and Lucy, and Gajeel and Levy.
"Hey! Fire Dragon! We killed that demon!"
"I killed him too! And the opponent was the leader of 'Gate of Hades'! Kira said that the Hades is stronger than the 'Nine Demon Gates' combined!"
"Hehe... didn't you fight with Gray together? It only counts as half!"
"Then you fought with Rebby too! That only counts as half!"
"Stop talking nonsense! How can that little guy be the same as Gray? I did all the damage! She just gave me iron to restore my stamina and magic, which is equivalent to assistance! It's different on your side, right? I heard that the only way to defeat that demon was thanks to Gray's new power!!"
"In that case, why don't we just have a fight to see who is stronger!"
"Just what I want!"
Bang bang bang... snap clack...
Watching the two of them arguing, quarreling, and fighting, Levi and Lucy just felt tired.
"These two people...are really full of energy..."
"yes……"
"Come to think of it, Lu-chan also defeated a 'Kyuubimon' all by herself! How impressive!"
“Hehehe…it’s all thanks to Rocky!”
Lucy's face flushed, but everyone could see that she enjoyed the admiration and praise.
But what made her happiest was that Kana and Gildarts had recognized each other. This was her biggest wish for participating in the Tianlang Island assessment this time, so she was naturally relieved now.
Of course, there were people doing serious work in the noisy camp, and they were Kira and Makarov.
As the president and parent, seeing all the children injured, Makarov blamed himself very much: "I never thought that the 'Gate of Hades' would suddenly appear. This is all my fault!"
"President, this is not your fault!" Kira consoled him, "You don't have to... uh... don't look at me like that. This is not my fault! If you want to blame someone, blame Zeref! Both the 'Devil's Heart' and the 'Gate of Hades' were his fault!"
"Speaking of Zeref... did you really meet him on Tenrou Island?"
"Yeah! I thought he would come out to steal the Book of 'END', but I didn't expect that there was not even a trace of him!"
Makarov was worried: "Has he left?"
Kira thought about it and proposed another possibility: "Maybe...someone kept it!"
