Chapter 21: Five candidates for answering

The moment the screen gave the shot to Irene.

Within the Fairy Tail guild.

Erza didn't know why, but her brows furrowed accordingly.

Why... does this person give off such a special feeling?

Erza furrowed her brows tightly, her mind constantly pondering and thinking.

And at this moment, the other answer sheets also found their owners.

The second image is a lush primeval forest.

Golden light descended from the sky.

It fell into the forest, and just when everyone thought this answer sheet would be completely wasted as Brain had said before.

A figure walked out from the lush bushes.

The figure was wearing a tattered light blue coat.

Stubble covered his cheeks, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose were stained with some dust.

The whole person looked quite disheveled.

But, the moment the screen focused on that person, exclamations could not help but ring out within the Fairy Tail guild.

Elfman: "Isn't this... Rustyrose, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory from Grimoire Heart?"

Evergreen: "It can't be wrong; he's the guy who gave us a lot of trouble on Tenrou Island."

Ultear: "How could it be him? What has this guy been through?"

Hades: "Rustyrose! I didn't expect that you would be the one to obtain an answer sheet?"

The moment he saw the screen, countless thoughts began to flash through Hades' mind.

But they finally settled on the reward mentioned by the screen earlier.

"Resurrection item..."

The soul-form Hades' breathing began to become heavy.

If, as the screen said, the reward even included an item capable of resurrecting the dead...

Then, if Rustyrose answered correctly, could he resurrect himself who had already died?

This is not an impossible thing.

Although Hades had previously joked that he was carefree now and that occasionally watching fights between others was quite nice.

But that was based on the premise that he was merely a ghost.

He couldn't do anything now and could only choose to lie flat.

However, if there really was a chance for resurrection...

Thinking of this, Hades did not hesitate at all.

He opened the private message interface, preparing to contact Rustyrose.

……

……

The third image is a wilderness.

Countless soldiers wearing armor were lying on the ground.

The remaining soldiers were looking at the front in terror.

There, a figure was stepping on their captain, and was still smiling at them.

"Monster... that guy is a monster!!!"

The remaining soldiers could no longer bear such psychological pressure and screamed in collapse.

No one knew what they had experienced before.

But, undoubtedly, all of this was done by that golden-haired man.

And, the most terrifying thing was that behind that golden-haired man, there was another figure seemingly hidden in the shadows who hadn't made a move.

In other words... just one person had defeated their entire army.

Such an existence...

Calling him a monster is no exaggeration.

And right at this moment, a golden light descended from the sky.

It landed in front of the remaining soldiers.

It was a card, a card with four options.

Just as the soldiers were about to pick it up.

A terrifying white light began to bloom from afar.

"White Dragon's — Holy Breath!!!"

Boom——————!!!

The white light, like a laser, swallowed all the soldiers.

When the light dissipated, only a pile of corpses remained at the scene, along with that golden card that seemed impossible to destroy. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
