Chapter 175

【"You... do you know what you are doing?"】

【"You are defying destiny!! Without me, you cannot destroy Zeref!!"】

【Mard Geer's voice came from the book.】

【The entire book was vibrating violently.】

【With his head lowered, Black Natsu's face was hidden in the shadows.】

【As the firelight shone, it revealed the upturned corners of his mouth.】

【"Zeref?"】

【"I don't believe in any destiny. If one day in the future, we end up facing each other."】

【"I don't mind helping him fulfill his wish for death!"】

【"As for you..."】

【"You are no longer needed!"】

【Boom!! The flames rose crazily; it was just a matter of an instant.】

【The book completely turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind...】

【The battle at the palace ended.】

【After Black Natsu comforted Seilah, he rushed outside the battlefield.】

【After all, the biggest threat at the moment was still outside the battlefield.】

【Moreover, he could clearly feel Mavis's magic power coming from the battlefield.】

【And it was quite strong!】

【This surprised even Black Natsu, so he quickened his pace again.】

【......】

【On the front line.】

【Under Mavis's command, within the twenty minutes before reinforcements arrived.】

【The entire battle situation was firmly held, and even...】

【They were able to counterattack, using twenty thousand people to make the army of two hundred thousand dizzy.】

【Therefore, the Allied Forces had to send personnel to carry out a decapitation strike.】

【The goal was to take Mavis's life!】

【In their view, as long as Mavis was taken down, then once they reorganized their troops, the scales of victory would return to their side.】

【However... the development of facts often exceeds everyone's expectations.】

【Ezel, who went to decapitate Mavis with full confidence, encountered unimaginable resistance!】

【He could feel that the magic power of the three people in front of him—Yuri, Precht, and Warrod—was not too strong.】

【In a one-on-one fight, none of them could be his opponent.】

【However, if these three joined forces, things seemed to be quite different.】

【Yuri, who used lightning, took the lead in attacking. This guy was like a reckless youth.】

【He used that not-so-strong lightning to launch attacks at Ezel crazily, looking... as if he didn't care about any consequences.】

【Whenever Ezel seized the opportunity to prepare a counterattack.】

【A beam of magic light would always accurately hit him, forcibly interrupting his attack.】

【The long-range slashes launched at Yuri were either dodged by Yuri relying on the high-speed movement of lightning.】

【Or they were blocked by those damn trees that suddenly popped out from the ground.】

【Even, if he wasn't careful, he would be entangled by the trees. Although he could cut them off in the next second, in a duel, just a moment of stiffness was enough to be fatal!】

【Under such a siege, Ezel couldn't get close to Mavis for a long time.】

【Until, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.】

【The powerful magic power was so dense that even Ezel was somewhat shocked!】

【When Black Natsu arrived at the battlefield, he could see Irene standing with her arms crossed, watching the battle not far away with ease.】

【Yes, this battle didn't even need Irene to take action; Mavis and the others alone could firmly suppress Ezel.】

【They relied on that flawless teamwork!】

【"How is the battle situation?"】

【Black Natsu came to Irene's side and asked.】

【"Well, it couldn't be better. This Mavis is truly amazing!"】

【Irene gestured toward the front.】

【At this moment, Mavis, standing not far from Ezel, had already raised her left arm!】

【The unique Fairy emblem engraved on it was emitting a brilliant golden light at this moment!】

【Boom boom boom!!!】

【Even the position where Black Natsu and Irene were standing felt the tremors caused by the magic power.】

【"Gather! Oh river of light guided by the fairies!!!"】

【Mavis raised her fist high and whispered softly.】

【Golden light erupted from Mavis's body and shot straight into the sky.】

【Her long golden curly hair flew in the golden radiance.】

【"You little girl, what exactly are you doing?!!"】

【An indescribable sense of crisis made Ezel start to panic.】

【Forced by necessity, it waved its four arms with all its might.】

【Cutting off all the branches entangled around its body.】

【Huge Curse Power permeated out, enveloping its entire body.】

【"Slash Mode!!"】

【Ezel roared toward the sky!】

【In an instant, all four arms turned into steel blades, and hard armor appeared on the surface of its emerald skin.】

【"Stop her!"】

【Mavis was accumulating magic power; Yuri, Precht, and Warrod nodded to each other.】

【They rushed toward Ezel again.】

【"Don't get in my way!! Heavenly Five Swords, Onimaru!"】

【Boom!! Four intense slashes shot out, surrounding Ezel.】

【Directly enveloping Yuri and the other two who were rushing from three directions.】

【And directly knocking them away!】

【Ezel had no mind to pay attention to those three annoying guys; instead, it set its target on Mavis, who was enveloped by the golden pillar of light in front.】

【The pillar of light went straight into the sky, reflecting the appearance of the stars in the sky.】

【Looking at this scene, Irene couldn't help but poke Black Natsu's shoulder.】

【"Did you teach her this move too?"】

【To this, Black Natsu smiled: "No, she developed this herself..."】

【"A super-high-level magic that condenses the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars."】

【"Fairy Glitter!"】

【Thud!!】

【The moment Black Natsu's voice fell, a sound that seemed to come from the depths of the universe rang out.】

【"Shine! To destroy the fangs of evil!!!"】

【In the light, Mavis suddenly pressed her fist down, aiming at Ezel, who was rushing over.】

【"Fairy..."】

【"Glitter!!!"】

【Hum!!!】

【The intense light gathered into a blinding ring of light, descending from the sky and completely surrounding Ezel.】

【"This... this... what on earth is this?!!"】

【The light was constantly approaching Ezel; even though it unleashed countless slashes, it could not break through the coverage of the halo.】

【Until! The halo completely covered Ezel's body.】

【The power of the strongest single-target super magic among the Three Great Fairy Magics was displayed to the fullest at this moment.】

【The terrifying light destroyed Ezel completely in just an instant.】

【Under that intense light, his figure gradually turned into dust!】

【Even the books left behind were completely annihilated in the radiance!】

Tartaros.

Ezel had already widened his eyes, looking at the scene on the Sky Screen in disbelief.

"Sec... seconded??"

"Are you kidding me? I had already activated slash mode and liberated my Etherious form... and I was seconded???"

Hades: "Hahaha, what's so strange about that? Your boss was seconded too."

Brain: "Can that be the same? Mard was facing Black Natsu!"

"That monster among monsters, it's not strange to be seconded, right?"

Mard Geer: "You two bastards, are you trying to rub salt in the wound?"

Ultear: "However, having said that, the Tartaros of the black world seems to no longer exist; the dead are dead, the missing are missing, how pitiful."

Mard Geer: "Tch!"

"Don't act as if you guys in that world wouldn't be seconded if you faced Black Natsu later!"

"Shut your mouths!"

【In the screen.】

【As the battle on Mavis's side came to an end.】

【Twenty minutes had passed, and the already chaotic Allied Forces completely welcomed despair!】

【A soldier was still confused at this moment.】

【All around were roars, and battles.】

【Everywhere was a chaotic battlefield, but this soldier was just very confused.】

【It was just... he completely didn't know where the enemy was??】

【He only heard shouts and sounds of slaughter coming from all around, but every time he rushed to where they were.】

【What he found were only the corpses of the Allied Forces.】

【The opponent's people had long since left.】

【Every time, it was like this!】

【So much so that this soldier was about to collapse in this chaotic situation.】

【He simply didn't know who to listen to or where to go.】

【Who to fight! Or rather... who the hell is the enemy??】

【He was like a headless fly, running around in this chaotic crowd.】

【Until!!!】

【The sunlight was gradually blocked.】

【The huge wind pressure coming from the sky attracted his gaze.】

【He looked up, and his pupils began to shrink crazily!】

【"That... that is... a dragon herd?!"】

【This soldier raised his hands in disbelief and rubbed his eyes.】

【Opening them again!】

【It hadn't changed! There was no change at all; above the sky, it was still that scene enough to make one despair!】

【Dozens of giant dragons were neatly arranged above the sky.】

【The wings they flapped were enough to cause unimaginable gales.】

【Their massive bodies gathered together were enough to block the sky!】

【"Dragon... dragon herd?!!!"】

【"Are you kidding me?! In this era... there are still so many dragons?"】

【The soldier had already begun to doubt life.】

【The next moment!】

【What was even more despairing was that those dragon herds flying in the sky were opening their mouths towards the crowd below.】

【All kinds of brilliant lights began to gather in the dragon herd.】

【Then...】

【Sprinkled onto the earth.】

【Dense magic breaths, like raindrops falling from the sky, shrouded the entire battlefield in it.】

【That scene was perhaps a scene this soldier would never forget.】

【That was simply hell!】

【Overwhelming breaths, countless breaths, fell into the chaotic crowd.】

【The next moment, sky-rocketing explosions boomed; dozens of intense explosions were like dropping dozens of giant magic cannons with power greater than the magic cluster cannon Jupiter onto this plain.】

【The terrifying explosion completely covered the entire battlefield.】

【This was simply indiscriminate bombing.】

【Intense fire spread across the entire battlefield.】

【This soldier was perhaps lucky; he was in a narrow center point where two explosions could not reach.】

【But, he was also unfortunate; hundreds or thousands of companions were turned into ashes right in front of him.】

【Even in the air he breathed... it seemed to be mixed with the fragments of his companions' corpses.】

【This was just within a range of a few hundred meters around him.】

【On the entire battlefield, there were countless people experiencing such terrifying explosions.】

【"How could it be like this... how could it be like this??"】

【His pupils widened, his body couldn't stop trembling, and tears and snot were mixed together.】

【Even... even his lower body was getting a bit wet.】

【Great fear shrouded his heart.】

【He couldn't imagine why... the Galaxy Empire would have such terrifying power?】

【He also couldn't imagine what kind of mentally retarded guys would set their sights on the Galaxy Empire?】

【"It's impossible to win... facing such a huge empire... it's simply impossible to win!!!"】

【On this battlefield intertwined with blood and fire, this soldier buried his head in the ground, holding the back of his head with both hands.】

【His whole body was shaking crazily, and continuous murmurs came out incessantly... and】
