Chapter 163

While Erza, Hearing Wendi, and their group were entering the capital of Edolas, Ye Yu and Gajeel had already entered the palace.

"This person killed the King, seize him!"

Not long after Ye Yu entered the palace, the Chief of Staff of the Kingdom Army led a group of soldiers to surround them.

Following the Chief of Staff's order, those soldiers all launched an attack on Ye Yu and Gajeel.

Swish, swish, swish—

A large number of magic bullets surged toward Ye Yu.

But those bullets all passed right through Ye Yu's body.

"They're not hitting?!"

The kingdom soldiers were all startled to see that their attacks were ineffective against Ye Yu.

Although these bullets were ineffective against Ye Yu, they were effective against Gajeel.

Gajeel, while dodging the bullets, continuously launched counterattacks against the kingdom soldiers.

"Iron Dragon Club!"

Gajeel kicked out, his leg instantly turning into steel and extending.

Boom—

In just the blink of an eye, Gajeel's steel-transformed leg slammed directly into the ground.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the ground cracked.

Then Gajeel lifted his leg and swept it horizontally, sending those kingdom soldiers flying back amidst screams.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the soldiers had no effect, the Chief of Staff's old face became very ugly.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, then launched an attack at Ye Yu.

"Storm Liquid!"

The Chief of Staff held a magic item and pointed it into the air at Ye Yu. The next second, a liquid swept out, and soon that liquid transformed into a tornado, sweeping toward Ye Yu.

Swish—

Once the storm neared Ye Yu, it deviated from its trajectory due to space distortion and bypassed the spot where Ye Yu was.

"What's going on?"

Looking at this scene, the Chief of Staff's eyes narrowed.

"Scorching Liquid!"

The Chief of Staff didn't think much and attacked Ye Yu again as he kept walking forward.

But the result was the same as before; the magic attack passed through Ye Yu's body.

"It can't hit, what exactly is this..."

If it were once, it could be a coincidence, but twice, it wasn't that simple.

Seeing that his attacks couldn't hit Ye Yu and that Ye Yu kept approaching, the Chief of Staff panicked, his body involuntarily retreating half a step.

Once Ye Yu walked up to the Chief of Staff, he grabbed the air toward him with his palm.

Under the effect of space distortion, the Chief of Staff's clothes tightened.

"Tell me, how do you permanently eliminate Anima?"

Permanently eliminate Anima?

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff's old face changed immediately.

You must know that this world exists with magic power because Anima continuously absorbs magic power from the surrounding worlds.

If Anima were permanently eliminated, wouldn't that mean Edolas would permanently lose magic power?

The Chief of Staff did not answer Ye Yu's question for a moment.

At the same time, Gajeel over there had also finished off all the soldiers.

Soon, he discovered the Deputy Chief of Staff hiding on the side.

Although she was the Deputy Chief of Staff, she was actually just a little girl about the same age as Hearing Wendi.

"How do you permanently eliminate Anima?"

Gajeel demanded, using a fierce tone to pressure the Deputy Chief of Staff.

To the Deputy Chief of Staff, Gajeel already looked terrifying.

Now that he was speaking in this tone, she was so scared that she fell directly to the ground.

"Let me handle this matter!"

Just as Ye Yu was pressuring the Chief of Staff and Gajeel was pressuring the Deputy Chief of Staff, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in the great hall.

"Mystogan?"

Hearing this, Ye Yu and Gajeel both looked toward the source of the sound.

They saw Mystogan, dressed in a black robe, walking toward them.

And the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff both exclaimed: "Prince?!"

"Mystogan is the Prince?"

Gajeel, hearing the words of the two chiefs, looked at Mystogan in confusion.

"The most important thing now is to permanently eliminate Anima!"

Mystogan first responded to Gajeel, then turned to look at Ye Yu and asked: "Ye Yu, is the Earth-land magic crystal with you?"

Ye Yu did not answer Mystogan's question; he just opened his palm.

The next second, a light bloomed from his palm.

After the light dissipated, the shrunken magic crystal appeared in Ye Yu's palm.

"It seems the rumors are true; you actually shrank such a large magic crystal to this extent!"

Mystogan looked at the shrunken magic crystal in Ye Yu's hand, exclaimed in wonder, and then activated a magic:

"I will now use the Reversal Anima to send this magic crystal, along with all the magic power in this world, to Earth-land!"

Reversal Anima?!

Hearing Mystogan's words, the two chiefs over there were both startled, then warned: "Prince, once the Reversal Anima is activated, all the magic power in Edolas will disappear, and then we..."

Before the Chief of Staff could finish his sentence, Mystogan interrupted him: "The magic power of Edolas was stolen to begin with, and this magic power is only held in the hands of a few; I want to create a fair world!"

With that, a magic circle appeared in front of Mystogan.

Hum—

Following that, a dazzling light swept out from the magic circle.

Looking from outside the palace, one could see a pillar of magic light in the palace, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, shooting straight into the sky.

Under the impact of this light pillar, a counter-rotating vortex appeared in the sky above the capital of Edolas.

At this moment, the magic power from all over the Edolas Kingdom converged toward the vortex in the sky.

At the same time, those islands that were floating in the sky due to magic power all began to collapse and fall.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

Erza and her group, who had just landed and were preparing to enter the palace, were all startled after seeing the light pillar in the sky.

Hearing Wendi looked at the massive vortex in the sky and suddenly thought of something: "That vortex, it also appeared in the sky above Magnolia Town before!"

"Could it be..."

After Hearing Wendi's reminder, Erza was startled.

Sure enough, the next second, Erza, Hearing Wendi, Lucy, and Natsu all flew toward the vortex in the sky.

Furthermore, Lisanna from the Fairy Tail guild, and Happy and the other Exceeds who originally contained magic power in their bodies, also flew toward the sky.

Naturally, Ye Yu and Gajeel in the palace were also affected by this Reversal Anima.

Under the gaze of Mystogan and the two chiefs, Ye Yu and Gajeel flew directly toward the sky.
