Chapter 498

【Ultear has left.】

【After informing Black Natsu of everything regarding the Tower of Heaven, she was the first to depart from here.】

【After all, according to what Ultear said.】

【Although the Tower of Heaven is currently completed, it is still an empty shell due to the lack of critical magic power.】

【Therefore, it is still just a hollow frame for now.】

【And the most important source of this magic power is the Etherion.】

【This is also the reason why both Ultear and Jellal's thought projection, Siegrain, infiltrated the Magic Council.】

【In order to urge the Magic Council to decide to launch the Etherion at the Tower of Heaven.】

【Therefore, Ultear still has to go to the Magic Council to continue acting as her undercover agent.】

【And during this time, Black Natsu has one more thing to do.】

【That is to set about performing the Reverse Magic on the Tower of Heaven.】

【The goal is to completely reverse the Tower of Heaven, which is capable of resurrecting the dead, so that it can emit an attack sufficient to crush souls.】

【This is no small matter.】

【After all, the overall structure of the Tower of Heaven is far too complex.】

【Come to think of it, it took seven years just to build it to completion.】

【Wanting to reverse it is not that easy.】

【Returning to his thoughts, Black Natsu's gaze once again looked at the giant ice block before him.】

【He snapped his fingers casually.】

【Around the giant ice block that bound Deliora, ripples of space appeared abruptly.】

【Immediately following, a huge crack emerged.】

【At the same time, the bracelet that Igneel once gave him on Black Natsu's left hand also emitted faint rays of light at this moment.】

【As a gift from Igneel to Black Natsu, this bracelet is naturally not just a simple decoration.】

【It's just that, for so many years, Black Natsu has never used it.】

【But that does not prevent Black Natsu from having studied this bracelet before.】

【The material is impeccable; there is no magic item on the market whose material can compare to this bracelet.】

【As for its functions, there are two; one of them is that, like most magic items, it has been inscribed with a spell.】

【A defensive type, and in terms of degree, it is roughly equivalent to Igneel's full-power defense.】

【It can almost be said that it can help Black Natsu block most of the attacks in this world.】
