Chapter 51 : Everyone Gathers!!!

The adorable little Loli patted her chest reassuringly and declared, "Master, fear not! I'm not afraid!"

[Emily Ryder, Mary, Harry, I'm sorry]

[Sister's journey ends here. ]

[The next road can only be walked by yourself. ]

[That money is enough to support you for a while. I hope the big shot won't break his promise next time. ]

Ikaruga is not afraid of death.

She had already prepared for this day.

Her master is from the dark guild, the former ace mage of Death's Head Caucus.

He spent his whole life repenting for his past mistakes.

She didn't know much about the early days of the guild's establishment, but the previous Guild Master was very tolerant of their master and apprentice, and he also took special care of her.

After her master passed away due to illness, the Guild Master arranged for her to become the captain of the Three Feathered Crows.

She is unwilling to accept commissions such as assassinations.

So everyone in the guild was very dissatisfied with her.

After the new Guild Master took office, he had constant conflicts with her.

In fact, she already knew that this mission would involve death but no life.

The new Guild Master's target will definitely not be just Vidaldus's betrayal.

This is the law of the dark guild. Once you offend someone, you must eradicate him, otherwise you will be retaliated sooner or later!

Therefore, even if she kills Vidaldus, there will definitely be all kinds of conspiracies and enemies coming in the aftermath - she must be killed before it ends.

Fighting.

Ikaruga is not afraid.

But her family is no secret.

The new Guild Master was ruthless and cunning. He once killed a chicken to scare the monkeys - one member's wife was pregnant, and he didn't want to do it anymore and wanted to quit. As a result, the new Guild Master sent people to kill all his family members, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Ikaruga didn't dare to gamble.

In this case, she couldn't find a way to break the game.

She no longer had a master who protected her, and she had no friends.

Alone, facing the crazy revenge of an entire dark guild, she could die like a hero.

But the other party would not give her this opportunity. It was more likely that they would use her younger brothers and sisters to threaten her.

Maybe it's time.

Now, she has completely understood what her master said back then.

She is the gentle moon and the beautiful flower.

For the new love, withering is her fate.

There is no shame in dying at the hands of the Titania.

Ikaruga closed her eyes. The sound of

'ta'

Footsteps appeared in her ears, and a familiar voice came, "Why do people who have no fighting spirit go to the battlefield?"

Is it him?

Ikaruga quickly opened her eyes and saw only a pair of gleaming shoes.

Voices drifted down from above.

"Everit, I heard you ran into Patrick?"

"Yes, took care of him," Everit replied casually.

"How long has it been?" Erza's astonishment was palpable. "How much stronger has he gotten since he was last seen?"

"Not bad, mostly because Patrick was held back by my magic," Everit modestly remarked.

"Do you know this woman?" Erza didn't linger on the question.

"She's an acquaintance."

"She lacked fighting spirit, but I couldn't hold back at that moment," Erza explained.

"I see."

"I'll entrust her to you. I need to find Jellal," Erza stated.

"Sister!" Sho interjected hastily, "Let me go. I'll confront him to see who's telling the truth!"

"I've already told you, Sho," Erza said firmly, "It wasn't me who abandoned you. In short, it was Jellal who deceived you!"

"I'll get the truth from him!"

"And I'll make sure you know!" Erza promised.

Erza glanced at Everit. "I'll leave them to you."

"Alright, you go ahead. I'll join you later," Everit nodded.

Erza turned and hurried away.

"Sister!" Sho tried to follow, but suddenly felt a surge of panic in his heart.

It was an indescribable feeling.

An overwhelming panic that threatened to engulf him.

It felt like he might perish in the next moment.

Sho collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest and struggling for breath.

Thankfully, the sensation passed as swiftly as it had arrived.

He waited until Erza was out of sight.

Sho noticed that the strange symptom had disappeared. He glared at Everit accusingly and exclaimed, "Your magic caused that just now!"

"Yes," Everit confirmed.

"Stay out of this!" Sho snapped.

"Little Yellow Hair," Everit retorted with a slight tilt of his head, "I have little patience for you."

"You don't get to decide," Sho shot back.

"That's enough!" A sudden interruption halted Sho's advance.

"You're a true gentleman, sir," greeted the newcomer, whose face resembled a puppet. It was Wally, who always aspired to be a gentleman. He saluted Everit politely.

"Likewise, sir. My name is Everit," Everit replied, reciprocating the greeting.

"I'm Wally."

"Meow, I'm Millianna!" A girl with cat ears emerged from behind Everit.

"Everit," Lucy and Juvia arrived at that moment.

They observed the woman lying on the ground, prompting Lucy to inquire, "Who's this?"

"Former enemy," Everit explained. "I'll be taking my leave for a while. You all can use this time to reconcile."

With that, Everit crouched down, lifted Ikaruga, took a step back, and vanished.

Everyone convened.

While Natsu searched for Jellal, he encountered Wally and Millianna, whom he awakened with Simon's assistance.

Simon's credibility with Wally and the others, as well as Lucy's trust in Simon due to Erza's endorsement, facilitated reconciliation despite past conflicts.

Lucy remarked, "Sho, you've already made your decision."

Sho remained silent, pursing his lips.

Juvia advised, "Simply put, don't cause trouble. I understand your feelings, but that battle was between the Wizard Saints and Fairy Tail's strongest team. Even the aftermath could be deadly. It's not worth risking lives!"

Millianna agreed, "Indeed, risking your life is risking everything. Jellal, I never dared to voice it, but in essence, he's no different from those people from before."

"Simon has always believed in Erza," Wally affirmed. "I believe in Erza too, and I trust Simon even more!"

Turning serious, Wally continued, "Erza led the charge, faced danger head-on, protected us, and dismantled the Black Magic Order."

"She must have had her reasons for leaving us for so many years and not returning!"

Lucy nodded, adding, "Yes, Erza is a respected and trusted companion in Fairy Tail. There must be a misunderstanding!"

"Our duty is to trust our comrades and have faith in Erza!"

"Oh, I have some information to share," a voice interjected.

"The Magic Council has approved the use of Etherion to deliver a devastating blow here to destroy the Tower of Heaven. Although I've informed the guild master in advance, he may not arrive in time. Therefore, as a precaution, you should evacuate immediately."

"Where's Natsu?"

"Gray-sama!"

Lucy and Juvia tensed up.

"I'll inform them of your whereabouts. You should leave quickly. There's a boat waiting outside."

"Don't panic too much. Etherion's magic attack will be absorbed by the Tower of Heaven and won't harm Natsu and the others. But just to be safe, you should leave immediately."

"Understood," Wally and the others nodded.

"Everit!" Lucy said solemnly, "You must return safely!"

"Don't worry."
