Chapter 278

【On the beach chair, Black Natsu had his hands behind his head, leisurely rocking his raised right foot.】

【Life was good.】

【To one side, Happy was playing a sand-stacking game with a child whose family he didn't know.】

【The cat's face was covered in fine sand, and his blue fur was reflected as gray.】

【Beside him, Dancer was in a red bikini, lazily leaning on a beach chair, her gaze fixed on Black Natsu, fully displaying her perfect figure.】

【Not far away, Erza and Mirajane, also in bikinis, were playing beach volleyball with Lucy and Juvia.】

【The chirping laughter surrounded Black Natsu's ears, like the pleasant sound of heavenly music.】

Loke: "Wait! This is Akane Resort??"

"If that's the case, does that mean my story in that world has already passed?"

Erza: "Logically speaking, that should be the case, after all, everyone's vacation tickets were sent by Loke."

Loke: "So!! In the Black world, my story doesn't even need to be shown??"

Happy: "Uh... maybe you're not that important?"

Loke: "..."

Lucy: "I think Happy is right."

Loke: "..."

Lucy: "Haha, just kidding, maybe Black Natsu and the others bought the tickets themselves? After all, Black Natsu isn't short on money."

Gray: "Speaking of which, what about me? What about me?"

"I remember, I went to Akane Resort too? Why don't I see myself?"

Happy: "I guess Gray is even less important, so they didn't bring you this time."

Gray: "...Happy's words have been getting more and more vicious lately..."

Mavis: "Speaking of which, didn't you notice the woman beside Black Natsu?"

"I remember... she's Dancer, right?"

Lucy: "Yes, that god from the Moon Temple? How could she be here?"

Mirajane: "And... wasn't she just a soul form? How could she..."

【In the Sky Screen footage.】

【Black Natsu picked up a coconut from the side, took a big gulp of coconut water, and then looked at Dancer.】

【"Speaking of which, are you really okay coming out like this?"】

【Dancer elegantly adjusted her body, lifting her long, fair legs and swaying them.】

【"What could be wrong? Does it make you burn with desire?"】

【She teased.】

【Black Natsu pushed aside the sunglasses on his nose and scanned Dancer's beautiful figure up and down.】

【Then he shook his head: "Just a magic Thought Projection, not even a physical entity, I'm not interested."】

【Dancer's mouth curled up: "Sometimes, the virtual is the most beautiful, you know."】

【"Don't you humans have a saying... that what you can't get is the best?"】

【Black Natsu sighed helplessly: "Alright, be serious."】

【"Why did you come out so suddenly this time?"】

【Dancer pouted: "How boring."】

【Saying this, she lay back down: "The Tower of Heaven has been completed; the moment that taboo-level magic device was finished, I could sense it."】

【"So I came to find you, after all, I want to see with my own eyes the moment that bitch is completely extinguished."】

【"I can't wait!"】

【Speaking of this, Dancer sat up abruptly: "Right, when do you plan to make your move?"】

【Black Natsu stretched: "I reckon, in these two days?"】

【"After all, we have to wait for those guys in the Council to discover the tower first, otherwise, if the Council doesn't know of the Tower of Heaven's existence, they won't fire Etherion."】

【"In that case, the Tower of Heaven won't be able to accumulate magic power, and it would be a waste for us to go."】

【"Might as well have a good time here for two days."】

【"Once those guys in the Council have decided, then we'll go to the Tower of Heaven and take over the tower."】

【Hearing that Black Natsu had a plan, Dancer didn't ask any more questions.】

【After all, she believed in a person like Black Natsu; since he said so, that was enough.】

【"Natsu-sama!! Come over and join us!"】

【Not far away, Juvia seemed a bit tired, hands on her hips, shouting at Black Natsu...】

【Dancer smiled flirtatiously, her fox-like eyes looking at Black Natsu: "Your little fan girl is calling you."】

【"Come to think of it, you have quite a lot of charm, it hasn't been long and you have two more little fan girls."】

【"That one called Lucy and that one called Juvia, I haven't seen them before."】

【Black Natsu rolled his eyes at Dancer.】

【"You don't need to beat around the bush, just say what you want to say."】

【Dancer pretended to cover her face: "What a heartless man, I gave you everything, and now that you have a new love, have you forgotten the old one?"】

【"Oh?" Black Natsu's mouth curled up slightly.】

【"So, you, a god, are jealous?"】

【"Go to hell!" Dancer was stunned and immediately waved her hand at Black Natsu.】

【Black Natsu shook his head and stood up: "Forget it, there's nothing to talk about with a Thought Projection I can't even touch, I'm going over."】

【Dancer changed to a comfortable position: "Is that so? Actually, it's not impossible to touch me, wait until I reshape my physical body."】

【"How about I let you do whatever you want?"】

【"We'll talk about that later."】

【As the words fell, Black Natsu had already walked away.】

【Leaving Dancer sighing repeatedly in place.】

【"Truly, the young don't know how good the older sisters are, mistaking a young girl for a treasure."】

【At the same time.】

【At the edge of this beach.】

【A small boat drifted across the sea and arrived here.】

【"Meow, finally here, it's my first time leaving the Tower of Heaven." Millianna exclaimed at everything new before her eyes.】

【"We have our mission, Millianna." Sho, the dark-skinned man, reminded her.】

【"Enjoying ourselves during the mission, I guess that has a special flavor too?" Wally, the blocky man, said.】

【"Alright, don't forget our goal." Simon, the tall man, said in a deep voice.】

【"I know, but where are we supposed to find a sacrifice with potential?"】

【Millianna was a bit troubled, but this was an order from Jellal.】

【When the Tower of Heaven holds its ceremony, it needs a sacrifice to serve as a vessel for the great Zeref's resurrection.】

【Therefore, their mission was to find such a person and bring them back to the Tower of Heaven.】

【To this, Simon smiled confidently: "He took out a crumpled newspaper clipping from his pocket and spread it out."】

【"It's him. I've been keeping an eye on this person's information for a long time; both in terms of talent and strength, he is the most suitable existence without a doubt."】

【The others immediately gathered around.】

【Eyes fixed on the image on the newspaper scrap.】

【Cherry-blossom-colored hair fluttering in the wind, well-fitting clothes highlighting a perfect figure that could make people scream.】

【Bold black letters marked his name on the side.】
