Chapter 226

This was their strongest combat power. Although she didn't know exactly how strong, Erza and Mirajane, who were already very powerful in Lucy's eyes, had both acknowledged Black Natsu's strength.

Therefore, in Lucy's eyes, Black Natsu was the strongest existence in their group.

Being on such a bizarre cursed island, the departure of their strongest combatant was bound to make people panic.

"Don't worry. With Erza and the others here, I can guarantee you two won't die. In that regard, it makes no difference whether I'm here or not."

Saying this, Black Natsu prepared to turn and leave.

"Um, how about I go with you? In case you run into a fight, I can be a helper."

Watching Black Natsu's back, Mirajane couldn't help but speak up with some concern.

Before Black Natsu could reply, Erza stopped Mirajane.

"You should rest easy; he won't be in any danger."

Black Natsu nodded in agreement: "I'm just going to see an old friend. Once things are settled, I'll come find you."

As his voice fell, Black Natsu turned and disappeared into the jungle.

Watching Black Natsu's disappearing back, Mirajane blinked.

Then she said to Erza: "Say, you should know what he's going to do, right?"

"What are you two hiding from me?"

Erza rolled her eyes at Mirajane: "Don't dwell on that. Let's get moving. This island is still huge, and if we want to finish exploring it, we need to hurry."

Clearly, Erza had no intention of answering, instead urging the group forward.

Despite being curious due to the unknown.

Thinking of Black Natsu's instructions, Mirajane finally nodded helplessly.

She followed the group and set off.

On the other side, Black Natsu's figure moved rapidly through the jungle.

The village was not far from the coast.

In three minutes, Black Natsu had already reached the shore.

His gaze locked onto the cruise ship docked at the shore.

Above, the unique emblem of the Galactic Empire was engraved on the side, looking lifelike under the sunlight.

Seemingly having also sensed someone approaching.

The figure packing things on the ship's deck immediately looked up.

Instantly! The backpack in the figure's hands dropped to the ground.

Her eyes slowly widened, and her pupils began to tremble uncontrollably!

"Young... Young Master!!!"

Watching Black Natsu approaching from the front, Seilah couldn't help but exclaim!

The moment the figure appeared on the shoulder armor deck.

The people outside the sky screen were also stunned;

it was truly... that face was far too familiar.

It was the demon named Seilah, whom Black Natsu met when he returned to the past.

And the female demon who had once sworn to follow Black Natsu.

However, she was the demon who had been helplessly left behind in the Galaxy Empire because Black Natsu had to return to the current point in time.

Mard Geer: "Seilah..."

Hades: "The current Seilah should belong to the Galaxy Empire, right?"

"People from the already reclusive Galaxy Empire have appeared on Jiaernadao..."

Brain: "What is her purpose? Could it be that she prophesied that Black Natsu would appear on Jiaernadao?"

Jellal: "That is obviously impossible, alright? There must be some other reason."

"Could it be... that they are also interested in Deliora?"

By now, almost everyone knew that Deliora was sealed on Jiaernadao.

Furthermore, the existence of Deliora had attracted the covetous eyes of many.

For example... Ultear!

At this point in time in the scene, Ultear's true self was right here on Jiaernadao.

Her purpose was the soon-to-be-resurrected Deliora.

Ultear felt somewhat skeptical about this: "Is it really possible? Deliora shouldn't be of any concern to the Galaxy Empire, right?"

"After all, although it is called the Immortal Demon, it is at best just a beast without intelligence."

Irene: "Don't forget, the Galaxy Empire in that world possesses technology beyond imagination."

"They were an existence that perfected life-construction technology a hundred years ago; after another hundred years of development, who knows what it has become?"

[Inside the sky screen.]

[Black Natsu was also surprised to be able to see Seilah here.]

[The next moment, a speeding figure dashed over and threw herself directly into Black Natsu's arms.]

["Wuwuwu~~ Young Master, I missed you so much!!!"]

[Seilah held onto Black Natsu's chest tightly.]

[The magnificence on her chest was like soft clouds, slamming fiercely into Black Natsu's body.]

[That subtle elasticity made Black Natsu unable to help but click his tongue.]

[This little girl seems to have grown quite a bit!]

[This thing... can it actually undergo a second growth spurt?]

[After a long while, Seilah finally let go of Black Natsu.]

[Looking at his white shirt already soaked with tears, Black Natsu felt somewhat helpless.]

[But he still reached out his palm and rubbed Seilah's head.]

["Long time no see, you seem to have grown a lot."]

[Seilah rubbed her somewhat red and swollen eyes and nodded gently.]

["A hundred years, Young Master, a hundred years, I have finally seen you!"]

[After a pause, she raised her head, stared at Black Natsu's cheeks, and spoke proudly!]

["During this time, my strength has also become much stronger; now I should be able to help you."]

["I heard from Mavis that you have grown into one of the top combat forces in the Galaxy Empire over these years, and have also helped the Galaxy Empire handle many thorny issues."]

[Black Natsu paused and said softly: "You've worked hard all these years."]

[Seilah pursed her trembling lips.]

[Wasn't all the dedication over the years just for this moment?]

[Wasn't it just to receive praise from the Young Master?]

[And now, all of this has been realized!]

[An indescribable sense of happiness filled her heart, leaving Seilah unable to react for a moment.]

[She took a deep breath!]

[Seilah's tone was firm!]

[Her posture was straight: "The Galaxy Empire is the Young Master's foundation, and it is also the Young Master's ultimate home! I will definitely protect all of this! Absolutely!"]

[The sudden seriousness caught Black Natsu off guard.]

[For a moment, he actually didn't know what to say.]

[Perhaps for Seilah, he is her everything, which is why she could go to such lengths, right?]

["By the way, I heard that half a year ago, the Young Master also went to the Galaxy Empire."]

[Seilah seemed to recall something and spoke with some regret.]

["However, at that time, I was executing missions all over the world and couldn't go back."]

["Isn't this meeting now? As long as the heart is still there, then we will definitely meet," Black Natsu said.]

[Seilah nodded heavily: "Yes, just like now!"]

["I originally planned to go to Fairy Tail to find the Young Master during this time after the mission ended; I didn't expect to actually see the Young Master here."]
