Chapter 229

Mest, also known as Doranbolt, was a spy planted by Makarov in the Magic Council, with the goal of stealing intelligence regarding the West Continent from within the Council.

However, because Mest had erased his own memories, he did not know he was a member of Fairy Tail.

This time, he returned to Fairy Tail under the identity of a Council member to search for evidence of Fairy Tail's crimes.

But what Mest didn't expect was that not only did he fail to collect evidence of Fairy Tail's crimes this time on Tenrou Island, but he also experienced two events he would never forget in his life.

The first was the great battle between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart.

The second was Acnologia.

Especially the second one, which was simply a nightmare.

Under the horrified gazes of Mest, Lahar, and the other Council members, Acnologia's roar landed on Tenrou Island.

Boom—

Accompanied by a terrifyingly loud noise, giant waves several zhang high rose upon the ocean.

And that massive Tenrou Island disappeared before the eyes of Mest, Lahar, and the others.

Lahar and the other people from the Council, although they didn't like Fairy Tail's rowdy style,

ultimately, Fairy Tail was still a Mage Guild of Ishgar.

The mages of Fairy Tail were also mages of Ishgar.

Seeing the mages under their jurisdiction wiped out by Acnologia in one move, their feelings were also very complex.

Mest and Lahar, these two young officials of the Council, looked at the vanished Tenrou Island, their emotions unable to settle for a long time.

After Acnologia had completely left, Lahar, who had recovered from the shock, ordered: "Quick, hurry and search, see if there are any survivors!"

Although Lahar knew clearly that after suffering such a terrifying attack, the possibility of survival was extremely small.

Perhaps to seek some comfort for his own heart, Lahar still gave the order.

After several minutes of searching, Lahar confirmed a fact.

Tenrou Island was destroyed.

All Fairy Tail members on the island were wiped out, all dead.

Finally, Lahar and Mest, the two young men from the Council, with complex emotions, led the Council soldiers and left this ocean.

While Mest, Lahar, and the other Council members were searching for survivors on the ocean, Following Ye Yu, Erza, Mirajane, and Hearing Wendi had already arrived in another space.

This space was originally the space of Brandish's subordinate, Marin Hollow.

After Following Ye Yu killed Marin, he took control of this interdimensional space.

"Where is this?"

Hearing Wendi came to her senses and, discovering that the surrounding environment was not Tenrou Island, asked with a look of surprise.

Perhaps Hearing Wendi didn't know what this was,

but Erza knew.

After all, she had been to this place before.

Originally, Erza was still worried about Following Ye Yu's situation.

Now that she discovered she was in Following Ye Yu's interdimensional space, the melancholy on her face instantly vanished, replaced by a touch of joy.

In Erza's view, since they could come to this space, it must have been Following Ye Yu who brought them here.

This meant that Following Ye Yu was still alive.

"This is Following Ye Yu's space!"

After Erza responded to Hearing Wendi, she immediately began searching for Following Ye Yu's traces.

"I'm here!"

While Erza was searching, Following Ye Yu's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Erza, Mirajane, and Hearing Wendi all turned to look.

When the three of them saw Following Ye Yu, they all looked as if they had seen something incredible, exclaiming in astonishment: "So big!"

Of course, it wasn't that Following Ye Yu was too big.

It was just that Erza, Mirajane, and Hearing Wendi had been shrunk.

"Following Ye Yu, everyone, how is everyone doing now?"

After confirming the situation of Following Ye Yu and themselves, Mirajane clenched one hand into a fist, placed it over her heart, and asked while looking at Following Ye Yu with a worried expression.

Hearing Mirajane's words, Erza and Hearing Wendi also turned their gazes toward Following Ye Yu.

It seemed they were waiting for Following Ye Yu's answer.

Following Ye Yu didn't answer immediately.

After restoring Erza and the others to their original size, he then said: "Everyone is fine, but..."

"But what?"

"For the specific situation, let the First Master tell you!"

In Following Ye Yu's view, regarding the matter of Natsu, Gray, and the others being asleep, it was better for Mavis, the one who cast the spell, to explain it.

"First Master?!"

When Following Ye Yu mentioned the First Master, Erza and Mirajane both exclaimed.

When Following Ye Yu brought Erza and the three women out of the interdimensional space, Tenrou Island was gone, Acnologia was gone, and the Council's ship was gone.

However, just as everyone was about to fall into the sea, Following Ye Yu activated Transformation Magic to enlarge a wooden board floating on the sea surface.

Immediately, everyone landed on that massive wooden board.

"Where is Tenrou Island?"

Erza and Mirajane saw that Tenrou Island was gone, and their beautiful faces changed drastically.

And just at this moment, a golden light shimmered on the sea surface where Tenrou Island had previously been.

Immediately after, a young girl with blonde hair, green eyes, and bare little feet rose from the sea.

Looking at this young girl who suddenly emerged from the sea, Erza, Mirajane, and the others were all stunned.

And Following Ye Yu raised an eyebrow: "Are you out?"

The blonde girl came before everyone and introduced herself in a crisp voice: "My name is Mavis, Mavis Vermillion!"

The instant the blonde girl said her name, Erza, Mirajane, and Hearing Wendi were all greatly shocked.

"Mavis Vermillion, are you our Fairy Tail's First Master?"

Although the three of them had never met Mavis,

they had heard Mavis's name from Makarov.

"Eh, let me explain the current situation of Tenrou Island now!"

After Mavis's narration, the three women understood everything.

"So that's how it is, was it the First Master's power that helped everyone avoid Acnologia's attack?"

"No, it wasn't my power; it was everyone's power, it was everyone's faith. I am just a ghost now and don't have that power."
