Chapter 578

【However, the successive failures also make Erza begin to reflect on herself.】

【For so many years, what has armor actually been to her?】

【A reliance for protection?】

【No! Armor is merely something that blocks the communication between people's hearts.】

【From beginning to end, armor has never been able to protect her well.】

【The enlightened Erza also comes up with a way to break the enemy.】

【She directly discards the defense of her armor and simultaneously summons the demon blade Benizakura.】

【This is an absolute attack that discards defense.】

【It is also, to date, Erza's strongest attack!】

【The two erupt once more, sword light flashing between them.】

【Ikaruga falls to her knees, while Erza remains standing.】

【The outcome is decided!】

【However, Ikaruga does not seem to be annoyed by her defeat.】

【Instead, she raises a wanton smile, like a complete madman.】

【She tells Erza that in ten minutes, the Council will fire the super-dimensional destruction magic, Etherion, at this island.】

【At that time, no matter who it is, they will perish.】

【Upon learning this news, Erza immediately makes a decision, telling Sho to inform Natsu and the others to leave the island immediately.】

【When asked about Erza herself.】

【Erza only leaves behind her back.】

【From the moment she arrived at this tower, she never thought about returning alive.】

【She must put an end to all the sins.】

【Just like that, Erza carries her sword to the top floor to find Jellal.】

【And Sho also immediately sets off, heading to the Tower of Heaven to gather the members of Fairy Tail and leave the island together.】

【Except for Natsu!】

【Entrusted by Simon, and also entrusted by his own heart, Natsu is going to bring Erza back unharmed.】

【On the top floor, Erza finds Jellal, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.】

【Unexpectedly, this time, Erza wins, and she wins very easily.】

【She even uses her sword to cut a huge wound on Jellal's abdomen.】

【The next second, the blade points at Jellal's neck.】

【The battle is declared over.】

【But, Jellal laughs, declaring that this is his moment of liberation.】

【And he portrays himself as someone bound by the spirits of Zeref, unable to obtain freedom.】

【Building the Tower of Heaven was merely an action taken under the guidance of the spirits; he could not escape, just like a puppet, manipulated by Zeref's spirits.】

Outside the screen.

Zeref's mouth twitches wildly.

Although he has occasionally heard over the past few hundred years that he is the most evil mage in four hundred years.

The most cruel mage.

Et cetera, et cetera...

But Zeref never cared, or rather, he had no interest in paying attention to those remarks.

He couldn't even hide from those people, so how could he have the heart to care about what they said?

Until today, he finally understood.

Why he was called the most evil and cruel mage.

Good grief, you guys are quite good at making things up, one after another.

One moment it's spirits, the next it's manipulating this person or that, one moment it's the representative of freedom, the next it's the culprit binding freedom...

Next step, should I be eating children??

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't live up to the stories you've fabricated. ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
