Chapter 593

"Therefore, there is no need to hide; we can just go straight to the island."

Having said this, Black Natsu turned his gaze toward Simon and the others beside him.

He raised his palm and snapped his fingers lightly.

Instantly, a fantastical sensation enveloped the entire bodies of Simon and his companions.

Their consciousness gradually began to blur.

The next moment, the few of them collapsed directly onto the deck.

"What are you doing?" Watching this scene, Lucy asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Black Natsu turned around: "It's better if they don't hear what I'm about to say next."

"Lucy, Juvia, Mira, and Erza, I need you to do me a favor in a moment."

"What is it? Just say it," Erza said.

"Are we going to fight?" Mirajane raised her fists, her face full of excitement.

"Fight? This kind of thing... I don't seem very suited for it, do I?" Lucy twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Lucy, what kind of talk is that!!" Juvia looked at Lucy with a serious expression.

"For the sake of Natsu-sama, even if it's to fight the Ten Wizard Saints! There is absolutely no difficulty in that, is there?"

At this, it wasn't just Lucy's mouth that twitched; even her skin began to quiver.

"Hey... what exactly is wrong with this person??"

Watching the various expressions of the group, Black Natsu couldn't help but smile and say: "It's not really a big deal."

"It's mainly this!"

As he spoke, Black Natsu took out three magic crystals radiating brilliant light and handed them to Erza, Mirajane, and Juvia respectively.

"Magic crystals?" Erza looked at the glowing crystals in her hands with some doubt.

"These are specially treated magic crystals," Black Natsu explained.

"As you know, the construction of a large-scale magic is not like the magic we usually use; it's not just a matter of simple writing."

"Especially something like the Tower of Heaven, an ultra-large-scale magic created to resurrect the dead; the various magic arrays compatible within it are as numerous as the stars."

"Not long ago, after I obtained the structural blueprint of the Tower of Heaven, I immediately set to work on reverse engineering it, and finally decided on a modification method for the reverse magic."

"Among them, the crystals in your three hands are the anchor points for the reverse magic construction."

"I need you to place them in the designated locations."

"Only then can I perfect the reverse magic with the help of these anchor points."

Lucy scratched her head: "Although I don't quite understand, our task is just to put these magic crystals into the designated locations, right?"

Black Natsu nodded: "As for the rest, just leave it all to me. When the time comes, I will create a thought projection to rewrite the magic array."

"As for the map, I have recorded it in the magic crystals. You just need to follow the guidance of the magic crystals, go to the designated locations, and put them down, and that's OK."

Having said this, he paused: "However, the Tower of Heaven is not our backyard after all, so you might encounter obstruction from guards."

Before Black Natsu could finish his sentence, Mirajane spoke up immediately.

"When that happens, we can just beat them away, right?"

Black Natsu nodded: "But pay attention to the destructive power; don't break this tower, or all our previous efforts will be wasted."

"Did you hear that, Mira? You're told to restrain yourself," Erza glanced sideways at Mirajane.

"Ha? Whether it's in what you said or what you implied, you're talking about yourself, right? Erza!"

"It was clearly talking about you, you violence addict!"

"Me, violent?? You're not much better, Erza!!"

Seeing the two of them arguing again, Black Natsu helplessly supported his forehead.

"It's fortunate that I didn't have these two act together."

Ignoring the thoughts of the two who were arguing, Black Natsu turned his gaze toward Lucy and Juvia.

"This time, I'll trouble you two to act together. After all, Lucy is a holder-type; once the weakness of having a physically weak body is caught, it's very easy to be defeated..."

Lucy suddenly felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife.

"Is this... a roundabout way of saying I'm weak..."

Happy leaned in: "Not really, Natsu means that Lucy is a holder-type."

"So she needs looking after!"

Lucy was stabbed by a second knife and hurriedly stopped Happy: "Alright, alright, I know, I know..."

Juvia, on the other hand, glanced at Lucy: "Do I have to act with this person?"

She sighed with some distress: "Although I really don't want to, since it's Natsu-sama's order, then there's no other way."

Seeing that everything had been explained,

Black Natsu woke up Simon and the others.

After all, the Tower of Heaven was almost here.

At this moment.

At the top of the Tower of Heaven.

A man wearing a hood sat alone on the throne, supporting his chin with one hand, seemingly in deep thought and yet as if waiting for something.

Soon, a man wearing a robe with hair reaching his waist appeared here.

"Yo, Vidaldus, you should have brought me good news, right?"

The man called Vidaldus nodded slightly.

"Jellal-sama, Simon and their ship can already be seen."

Hearing this, Jellal curled his lips into a smile.

"I can hardly wait; what exactly is the surprise that Simon mentioned?"

"Quickly open the magic crystal projection; I want to see it for myself."

Vidaldus nodded gently.

Then he took out a magic crystal and channeled his magic power.

The dull magic crystal gradually began to have color.

The next moment, a clear image emerged.

It was a ship drifting on the sea at the edge of the island.

As Vidaldus zoomed in on the image.

The two clearly saw Simon and the others standing on the deck.

And...

The man with cherry-blossom-colored hair standing behind Simon.

Bang!!

The armrest of Jellal's throne exploded directly!!

He stood up abruptly from his seat.

His eyes widened instantly!

"Natsu Dragneel!!!"

"What kind of joke is this, how could it be him?!!"
