Chapter 164

Seilah: "That's Master Mard's business. Maybe we'll have one less colleague later."

Meanwhile.

In another room of Tartaros.

Silver slowly opened his eyes.

He reached out a trembling hand and touched his chest.

His heart was beating!

This is a sign of a living person, and a smile couldn't help but rise on Silver's lips.

Finally!

He was finally resurrected!

Yes, before this, although Silver could move like a normal person.

Even fight, eat, and do everything a normal person could do, Silver could do it.

However, Silver was still a dead person.

A true dead person, just an experimental subject revived by Tartaros's necromancer, Keyes, from a pile of

corpses killed by demons.

Among the many experimental subjects, only Silver survived to the end because of his strong desire for revenge.

And he even learned Devil Slayer Magic for it.

Keyes knew this, and most of the demons in Tartaros knew it too.

It was just because Silver would be controlled by Keyes no matter what, so the demons didn't worry that Silver could cause them any loss.

But now it's different.

Silver successfully resurrected, successfully turned back into a human, and broke free from Keyes's control.

Then...

Knock, knock, knock...

The closed door was knocked open.

Mard Geer walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.

Silver narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mard Geer had no intention of wasting words.

His gaze was fixed on Silver: "Give me a reason to keep you."

"I have nowhere else to go, you know. Besides... haven't you always been confident that you wouldn't be overthrown by anyone?"

Mard Geer laughed: "Human, you are starting to become more and more to my liking."

"Mard Geer will not fear anyone, only because... I am the absolute demon!"

He leaned in a little closer, his gaze fixed on Silver's eyes: "I look forward to your performance, Silver Fullbuster!"

Toward Fairy Tail.

After a flash of light, Makarov's face looked much ruddier.

Of course, it's unknown if it was because of the room full of money.

Or because of the sufficient blood flow.

In any case, everyone in the guild listened to Makarov laugh for over an hour before he stopped.

"Money! This is all money!"

"With this, the previous guild can be redeemed, and we can expand, expand ten times! Hahahaha!!"

"My residence should also be changed to a mansion, with a big swimming pool!"

"And a hundred maids!"

Gildarts: "A hundred maids?!?"

"Hehe, Master, my dear good Master, you wouldn't have forgotten the friendship we had visiting the red-light district together, would you?"

Cana covered her face: "Truly an old man who can't change."

Lucy: "You'd better leave them alone, the screen has movement again, look quickly."

Just as Lucy said.

After the rewards were distributed, the static black-bordered screen had images again.

【This war, after the defeat of the Lightning Dragon Augustus and the Storm Dragon Douglas, the scales of victory tilted completely toward the Kingdom of Dragnof.】

【The remaining dragons saw that the situation was lost and lost their will to fight.】

【They began to flee in all directions.】

【This was an incredible, great victory.】

【But, this was also the most tragic war in the history of the Kingdom of Dragnof.】

【The kingdom's army suffered nearly half casualties, with over hundreds of thousands buried in this war.】

【However, all of this was worth it.】

【The Kingdom of Dragnof would also become the first human kingdom in history to defend its homeland under the threat of giant dragons.】

【This is a historic moment, worth celebrating by everyone.】

【And the soldiers also knew who the greatest contributor to this war was.】

【That figure who defeated a giant dragon with a human body had long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the soldiers.】

【Therefore, at the moment the war ended, the entire battlefield fell into crazy cheers.】

【They shouted the name of Queen Irene, and also shouted the name of the dragon slayer, Black Natsu.】

【Countless shouts intertwined, reaching the sky, and also reaching this world.】

【In the Kingdom of Dragnof in the east of the Ishgar continent, the second dragon slayer was born!】

【The world! Also shook at this moment.】

【Countless giant dragons worried that this newly appeared dragon slayer would become the second Acnologia.】

【But, just when everyone or every dragon wanted to find this dragon slayer, they found that they couldn't find the specific location of this person at all.】

【It was as if he had disappeared into thin air, completely losing his trace.】

【Gradually, the name Natsu was gradually forgotten by the giant dragons.】

【But within the Kingdom of Dragnof, a huge statue tens of meters high was erected to commemorate the hero of the kingdom.】

【...】

【Of course, these are all stories for later.】

【At this very moment, inside Irene's room.】

【Irene is sitting by the bed, her eyes a bit tired, and her face looks even more haggard.】

【She looks with worry at Black Natsu, who is in a coma on the bed.】

【Nearly a month has passed since the end of the war.】

【And Black Natsu, since that battle, has been in a coma due to the lack of magic power.】

【It has continued until today.】

【At first, Irene thought it was because he was too tired, so she didn't pay much attention, just placing Black Natsu on her own bed and visiting him every day.】

【But, gradually, Irene discovered something wrong.】

【Even if he was tired, even if he was sleepy, he wouldn't sleep for days, right?】

【So, Irene invited the best doctor in the kingdom to treat him, but it was to no avail.】

【It wasn't until Belserion saw him that a conclusion was reached.】

【There is a problem in Black Natsu's body; forcibly swallowing magic power that doesn't belong to him will bring unpredictable consequences.】

【Not to mention, what Black Natsu swallowed was the lightning from the Lightning Dragon?】

【This power conflicts with Black Natsu's original power, so the Lightning Dragon's power has been rioting in Black Natsu's body.】

【And Black Natsu's original magic power, as well as his dragon power, are all being used to quell the riot, which is the process of completely converting someone else's power into his own.】

【In this process, everything Black Natsu does is based on instinct, which is why he fell into such a long coma.】

【In other words, if Black Natsu cannot manage to completely control the Lightning Dragon's power in his body, he cannot wake up.】

【This process is very long, but no one can say for sure, so Irene has been guarding Black Natsu's side almost every day during this time, fearing that this guy might wake up in the dead of night.】

【Irene doesn't know why she would do this, only knowing that she should do this.】
