Chapter 89: Is this the finale?
Meeting Gildarts in this Shankala place is really fate!
Everyone was very excited after not seeing each other for a long time, especially Natsu, who rushed forward to fight, but as expected, he was knocked into the snow.
Of course, the most excited person was Kana, after all, he was her father.
Under the bright night sky, everyone had a bonfire party again, barbecuing, drinking, chatting, and telling each other about the changes in recent years.
From the Fairy Tail announcement, to Killer opening a magic shop; from Laxus becoming more rebellious, to Markrov aging a lot in recent years; from Lisanna's death two years ago, to Lucy joining recently...
Gildarts sighed.
On the other side, Happy also introduced to Lucy the guild's most powerful man, Gildarts, whom she met for the first time.
"A real strength man?"
Happy munched on the grilled fish and nodded: "Yeah, Gildarts's strength might even be above the president's. Basically, he can be said to be the strongest person in the guild!"
"The strongest? Stronger than Erza, Killer, and that Laxus?"
"Of course!" Gray put down his glass and said, "There are a total of six S-class wizards in the guild. It's no exaggeration to say that the remaining five of them should be able to fight Gildarts to a draw."
"What?!" Lucy glanced at Kira obliquely and found that he did not refute, which was already a rare display of humility.
"Wait, Kira, Erza, Laxus, Mistgang, who is the other one?"
"It's Mira-san. She used to be called 'Demon'!"
"Huh? Mira-san?!" It was the first time Lucy heard the news, but after hearing the story of Lisanna from several people, she knew the reason.
After a few bottles of wine, Kira asked the question that concerned him: "Come to think of it, weren't you going on a 100-year mission? Why are you here?"
Perhaps because their mental ages are similar, Kira and Gildarts have a very good relationship. Even when Kira first joined the guild, Gildarts led him in completing many missions.
Fairy Tail was in a rather difficult situation during that period, with Spectre pressing in from outside and Ivan, the unfilial son of Markrov, having ulterior motives from within. Although he had been kicked out of the guild at that time, they still had to be on guard against his backstab at all times.
There is a clear gap in strength in Fairy Tail. Basically, Gildarts is the only one holding up the guild. Not to mention the likes of Machao and Wakaba, they still have no strength. And people like Erza, Laxus, etc. either haven't joined the guild yet or haven't grown up yet.
After so much effort, a talented young wizard finally arrived. Markrov spared no effort in cultivating Kira, hoping that he could grow up as quickly as possible and become the pillar of Fairy Tail in the future.
Under Marklov's instructions, Gildarts, in addition to occasionally doing good deeds to help the poor and needy, basically took Kira with him on every mission, which made Kana envious.
Hearing Kira's question, Gildarts replied: "Oh, according to the information I collected recently, this place seems to have some connection with my mission target, but I haven't found it in several days..."
Connection? Kira instantly thought of what the Ice Demon Ace said about the enemy he would have to deal with after absorbing the Sea Demon King.
After thinking for a while, Kira and Gildarts talked about the situation of this mission: "The enemy that the demon said he was going to deal with, could it be your mission target?"
The demon king created by the cannibalism of demons targeted the five divine dragons. Although it was a bit beyond his capabilities, it was still very possible.
"So how did your mission go?"
Gildarts rubbed his head and laughed, "It's too difficult. There's almost no progress!"
"What?!" Erza and the others were surprised when they heard this. "What kind of mission is this? Even you have been working on it for three years and there is no progress?"
Giraldas took a sip of wine and said, "Ah, well, I signed a confidentiality agreement when I accepted the mission, so I can't reveal the mission information. I'm so sorry!"
"That's tragic. Wouldn't that mean you won't have any income for three years?" Kira said with a smile, "How about taking me with you? I'm quite interested !"
"Hehe, I'm so sorry! Although you've become much stronger now, you can't add anyone else during the mission!"
"Oh , I understand..."
Kira nodded silently, took a bite of wolf meat, and thought: "It's just the Five Dragons, how can I not know?"
Should I directly tell him, "Don't be so mysterious. I already know the content of this mission", or should I say in a subtle way, "How many dragons have you encountered now? You must have lost miserably in the fight?"
Hmm... it's so hard to choose...
I remember that Gildarts failed because he encountered a black dragon during the mission. He was seriously injured. His left hand, left foot and internal organs were injured in an instant. This shows how powerful the black dragon is.
As for being defeated in the end, it was entirely due to the halo of the protagonist.
Thinking of this, Kira glanced at Gildarts inconspicuously. He was in good health, which meant he had not met the black dragon yet?
Wait? Haven't met him yet?
Kira's slightly tipsy head instantly sobered up, with beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
Logically speaking, the mission of the Five Divine Dragons should be on another continent!
Where did Gildarts encounter the black dragon in the original story? Was it mentioned? It had been so long that Kira could no longer remember it. Now he only regretted not reading the comics carefully at that time.
No, no, calm down and think carefully, Kira, you can do it!
In the original plot, Giraldas's return was after the Six Demons copy and before the Edras copy. It should be some time before now, it can't be such a coincidence!
"Gildarts, I want to ask you something..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Seeing Kira's abnormal expression, Gildarts asked with half-closed eyes.
In order not to surprise him too much, Kira thought he should be more tactful: "You said before that the Zonya Mountains are related to your mission target. Are you referring to those demons that are suspected to be hostile to dragons, or are you referring to the dragons that appear here?"
puff--!
Gildarts spat out a mouthful of wine: "How... did you know..."
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Everyone looked at Kira and Gildarts in surprise. They did not expect their topic to be so explosive, and they all raised questions.
"Do dragons really exist?"
"Is Gildarts's mission to defeat a dragon?"
Hearing Kira's words, Natsu reacted the most and jumped up immediately, "Gildarts, is your mission related to dragons?"
Gildarts had a serious look on his face at this time. The leakage of mission information was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. The key point was that, as far as he knew, everyone who had accepted the mission so far had signed a confidentiality agreement, and all the previous people who had accepted the mission had died, so the mission content should not be leaked.
Kira had never taken the mission, so how did he know it?
"Hey, Gildarts, did you really see the dragon?"
"Well..." Facing Natsu who was rushing towards him, Gildarts hesitated and didn't answer, trying to avoid the question as much as possible, thinking: 'It shouldn't matter if Kira knows? Anyway, I didn't tell him...'
As for Kira, he was extremely panicked and just wanted to run back to Magnolia as soon as possible. In any case, he had to separate from Gildarts.
"Natsu, let's not talk about this for now," Kira stood up hastily and pulled Natsu up from Gildarts, "We'll talk about this after we get back to the guild, let's just..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt something was wrong with the air flow and looked up at the sky in panic.
Overhead, the originally bright night sky was shrouded in disaster clouds. At the same time, snow and wind started to blow again in the Millennium Mountain Range Zonia.
Depressing and dull, the magic power around became sticky; dark and huge, roars came from the distant sky.
Gildarts's rich experience made him aware that something was wrong around him. He immediately stood up and looked serious: "What's going on?"
Kira: "@#￥％……&＊!"
Isn't this going to be an early ending?
