Chapter 49: Fusion of Iron Dragon Slayer Magic and Fire Dragon Slayer Magic!

"So strong, so strong! I'm fired up!"

Seeing Following Ye Yu take out two opponents in an instant, Brother Na Zi refused to be outdone.

After shouting excitedly, Brother Na Zi slammed his fist and palm together heavily. At that moment, a crimson flame surged up around his body.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Without any hesitation, Brother Na Zi immediately clenched his hand into a fist and launched an attack at Simon.

Since Following Ye Yu took care of two, let me handle this last one.

That was what Brother Na Zi was thinking.

However, just as Brother Na Zi's fist was about to strike Simon, Simon raised his hands and said, "I surrender!"

Kang~

Hearing Simon's words, Brother Na Zi face-planted onto the ground.

Surrender?

I've already taken off my pants, and you tell me you're limp?

Give me back my fighting spirit!

At this moment, it felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through Brother Na Zi's heart.

Watching Brother Na Zi sprawled on the ground, Following Ye Yu couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Why? We haven't even fought yet, why are you surrendering?"

Brother Na Zi asked Simon with a look of unwillingness.

"Because I came to ask for your help!"

Simon looked up at Erza and Following Ye Yu, speaking aloud.

"Help? Aren't you guys here to capture Erza?"

Gray looked at Simon, completely confused.

"That was just for show for Wally and Millianna!"

Simon glanced at Wally and Millianna, who were frozen nearby. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Eight years ago, after Erza left us, Jellal said..."

Eight years ago, after Erza defeated the warden of the Tower of Heaven, she invited Jellal to leave with her.

But by then, Jellal had already been brainwashed by "Zeref's ghost" and rejected Erza's invitation.

Of course, Simon did not know that Jellal had been brainwashed by "Zeref's ghost."

He only knew that after Erza left, Jellal told them that Erza had betrayed them.

Although Millianna, Wally, and the others believed Jellal's words, Simon had never believed it.

Subsequently, Erza also revealed that she had invited Jellal back then, and that Jellal had threatened her using the lives of Simon and the others.

After synthesizing Erza and Simon's words, Gray spoke up, "If that's the case, Jellal has been deceiving you all along, using you to help him build that so-called Tower of Heaven!"

"Correct. Now that the Tower of Heaven is built, Jellal wants to use Erza as a sacrifice to resurrect the legendary Black Mage, Zeref!"

As soon as Simon said this, the expressions of both Gray and Erza changed drastically.

Erza was shocked that the Tower of Heaven had actually been completed.

And Gray was stunned by the name Zeref.

Mentioning Zeref, Gray's mind immediately recalled the demon that had taken the life of his master, Ur—Deliora.

"He actually wants to resurrect Zeref, the one who created demons like Deliora!"

"If Zeref is resurrected, this world is truly finished!"

Gray said, gritting his teeth.

Hearing the words of Simon and Gray, Following Ye Yu remained calm and unruffled.

Resurrect Zeref?

Zeref isn't even dead, okay?

Although Following Ye Yu really wanted to tell Gray and the others: Zeref isn't dead at all.

But he figured that even if he said it, Gray and the others might not necessarily believe him.

After all, Zeref is a figure from hundreds of years ago.

How could a normal person live that long?

Furthermore, even if Gray and the others did believe it, it would require explaining a whole lot more.

Therefore, Following Ye Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything more.

They would find out sooner or later that Zeref was still alive anyway.

Just as Following Ye Yu was thinking this, Simon said to Following Ye Yu, Erza, and the others, "If Jellal really resurrects Zeref, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"So I want to commission you to stop Jellal!"

Regarding Simon's request, Erza naturally wouldn't refuse, but...

She didn't want to let Gray, Brother Na Zi, and the others take risks with her.

"Jellal's strength is very high..."

Erza looked at Gray and Brother Na Zi on the side and said.

But before Erza could finish her sentence, Simon looked at Following Ye Yu and said, "If we have his help, we should be able to stop Jellal!"

Simon had seen the strength Following Ye Yu displayed just moments ago.

Although Erza's strength was very high.

But Simon knew that given Erza's personality, she would definitely not be able to bring herself to strike hard against a former companion.

To stop Jellal, Following Ye Yu was the most suitable candidate.

Hearing Simon's words, Erza looked at Following Ye Yu.

Erza didn't know Following Ye Yu's true strength either.

However, she could feel that Following Ye Yu's strength was definitely not below her own.

"If it's Following Ye Yu..."

Just as Erza was thinking this, Simon suddenly said, "I am willing to pay 10 million J to commission you!"

10 million J!

Simon's words were like a bombshell. Upon hearing this staggering number, Lucy, Gray, Brother Na Zi, and Happy were all dumbfounded, their minds already beginning to fantasize about a wealthy life.

If they had 10 million J, this, and that, they could buy it all.

"Erza, we'll take this commission!"

Lucy, Gray, and Brother Na Zi said to Erza impatiently.

"But, Following Ye Yu..."

Erza looked at Following Ye Yu, asking in a tone of seeking his opinion.

Lucy, Gray, and Brother Na Zi looked at Following Ye Yu with eyes shining.

"Then let's take it, this mission!"

Hearing Following Ye Yu agree, Brother Na Zi, Gray, and Lucy were immediately overjoyed.

And Happy was also fantasizing about eating plenty of fish.

"Simon, where did you get so much money?"

Erza asked Simon.

"I certainly don't have that much money, but he does..."

Simon said with an embarrassed look, then pointed at Wally, who was frozen nearby.

Although Wally and Millianna had been frozen by Following Ye Yu.

They had heard the conversation between Simon and Erza very clearly.

After Following Ye Yu lifted the ice on Wally and Millianna, they were extremely furious about Jellal deceiving them for eight years.

And they were willing to pay 10 million J to commission Following Ye Yu and the others.

"Jellal, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, it's the perfect time to test the power of this Iron-Flame Dragon Mode on you!"

Following Ye Yu looked at the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic attributes and Iron Dragon Slayer Magic attributes on the system screen, his fists tightened instantly, his face filled with anticipation.
