Chapter 58

While Raphael was training, a big event happened in the guild. Loki left Fairy Tail!

All the people in the guild were looking for Loki. Although Loki was a playboy, he was very loyal to his partners in the guild and would help them if they had any problems. So everyone actually cared about him.

Lucy learned about Kallen Lilica from her celestial spirit, Crooks of the Southern Cross, and instantly realized where Loki was.

There is a waterfall near the town of Magnolia. On the cliff in front of the waterfall, there stands a tombstone. It is a gorgeous and beautiful prismatic tombstone. In front of the tombstone stands a man wearing a jacket and brown sunglasses. This man is the Loki that everyone in Fairy Tail has been looking for.

"You are indeed here, Loki, everyone is looking for you!"A clear female voice sounded from behind him. Loki turned around and saw that it was Lucy. She looked at Loki with a smile on her face,"This is Kallen's tomb, right?"

"Lucy!"Loki looked at her in surprise, not expecting that she could find this place and know who was buried under the tombstone.

"Celestial Mage, Kallen, your owner. Lucy looked at Loki with a smile,"Loki...ah no, it should be Leo Leo!""

Loki, it must be Leo lowered his head and smiled:"I didn't expect that you discovered my true identity!"

Lucy shook her head:"After all, I am also the owner of many stars. I am ashamed to say that I didn't find out until now."

"Since you are a star spirit, but you have been staying in the human world, I guess you can't go back to the star spirit world for some reason, right? But just like humans can't survive in the star spirit world, star spirits can't survive in the human world for a long time. They will eventually be deprived of their lives bit by bit and die. So... you should have reached your limit, right?"

At the end, Lucy looked at him with some sadness.

"Ah~ Yes, I have been in the human world for three years...."Loki turned around and looked at Kallen's grave, as if he was remembering something.

"Three years?! Other Protoss have reached their limit in one year, but you..."Lucy covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Loki

"Yes, I have reached my limit now, and I have no strength at all, but that's okay, this is my punishment. I am permanently exiled from the star world, and I accept it. Loki smiled weakly, turned to face Lucy, and looked at her seriously:"Because I killed my owner Kallen!""

"Wha...what?!"Lucy looked at Loki in surprise.

"That was three years ago," Loki fell into reminiscence,"At that time, Karin should be regarded as the top wizard of the Blue Pegasus Guild. Every time she came back from a mission, she would bring a large number of her admirers. Aries Aries and I were her spirits. I was fine, after all, I was a combat spirit, so she would not order me around too much, but Aries Aries..."

When Loki said this, his fists hanging on both sides clenched tightly, and his eyes revealed anger:"Alyes is often used by her as a tool to please her group of suitors, to please them."

"She was often used as a human shield in battles. If she was unhappy or in a bad mood, she would punch and kick her. The president of the Blue Pegasus couldn't stand it and told her off. She actually took her anger out on her and wanted Aries to stay in the human world for seven days! She just used the Star Spirit as a tool!"

"She is so vicious!"Lucy was so angry when she heard it. She even wanted to dig up the grave and scatter her ashes.

Loki calmed down his excited and angry emotions for a while, and continued to recall:"I really couldn't stand it, so I used my magic power to replace the abused Aries, and threatened her to cancel the contract between me and Aries, otherwise I would stay in the human world so that she could never summon Aries again. I gave her a three-month deadline. I thought that no matter what, she should be able to figure it out in three months!"

Loki turned around and looked at Kallen's grave again, with a hint of regret in his tone:"But I didn't expect that she didn't listen to the advice of the Blue Pegasus President at all, and forced to carry out the mission. She died in the mission. I killed her...."

"With a"bang", like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Loki could no longer hold on and fell heavily to the ground.

"Loki!"Lucy rushed over and supported him.

"It's time..."Loki looked at his hand that was gradually becoming transparent,"From that day on, I have never been able to go back to the Star Spirit World. The Star Spirit World has also rejected me, a Star Spirit who disobeyed the master's orders. However, I can never go back to the Star Spirit World. It was worth it to meet such a good Celestial Wizard at the last moment, thank you Lucy!"

"etc! I absolutely want to help you! this is not your fault! It's all that Kallen's fault, why should all the fault be placed on you!"Lucy looked at Loki's gradual transparency and shouted anxiously and angrily!

"It's no use, Lucy, this is my punishment! Help me say sorry to everyone in Fairy Tail!"Loki's voice gradually weakened.

Lucy hugged Loki and kept shouting:"Turn it on! Leo's Gate! please..."

"Give up, Lucy, it's fine..."

"I won't! Fairy Tail has no habit of abandoning its partners, how can I watch my partners disappear before my eyes?!"Lucy madly released her magic power, determined to force open the door of Leo, she gradually began to assimilate with Loki

""Lucy, don't do this! This is the rule of the Celestial Spirit World. The Celestial Spirits who betrayed humanity cannot return to the Celestial Spirit World! Don't let me make the same mistake again!" Loki was anxious to push Lucy away, but he was already at his limit and didn't have any strength to push Lucy away. He could only keep persuading Lucy anxiously!

"What crime have you committed! If this is the rule of the Celestial Spirit World, then I will break it!" Lucy shouted angrily.

At this moment, the waterfalls around changed the direction of the water flow, all flowing upstream and converging in the middle. In the blink of an eye, a huge figure appeared in front of them, wearing heavy cavalry armor, with two round and thick horns on his head, and the most obvious thing was the beard (nose hair?) connected to his nostrils on his face.

""The Celestial King!" Lucy and Loki cried out in surprise. They had never expected that the strongest person in the Celestial World would appear.

To Loki's surprise, the Celestial King did not charge him with a vengeance or get extremely angry. Instead, he calmly explained the reason to Lucy.

"My old friend, the core condition of the contract we signed with humans is that we must not harm the owner of the key in any form. Although Leo did not kill the owner directly, he indirectly killed her, so I refused him to return to the Celestial World!"

Lucy stood in front of Loki angrily, opened her arms to protect Loki and said to the Celestial King:"Wait! Isn't this ridiculous? He has also suffered for this for three years. He also did this for synchronization and for Aries. Isn't it enough?!"

Loki was worried that Lucy had angered the Celestial King. It didn't matter if he died, but he couldn't drag Lucy down with him, so he kept trying to interrupt Lucy from behind.

The Celestial King was not angry because of what Lucy said. Instead, he said to Lucy with embarrassment and sadness:"But my old friend, rules are rules. I understand your feelings and feel heartbroken for it...."

"Enough! Stop talking about old friends! I just want to save your friend right now, so listen to me! Old man with a long beard!" Lucy waved her hand to interrupt the Celestial King, looking at him angrily but firmly,"This was just an accident, a sad accident, and you say Loki is guilty? I don't admit it! I don't admit that Loki is guilty!"

"enough! Lucy! I don't need any forgiveness! I just want to atone for my sins! That's it, enough Lucy!"Loki also shouted anxiously towards Lucy. He was really afraid that Lucy would be punished by the Celestial Spirit King because of him!

"I won't allow it!" Lucy's magic power surged, becoming stronger and stronger, emitting a dazzling golden light. The Star Spirit King's eyes widened instantly.

"How is this a sin? How sinful is it to think about your companions!!!"With the last shout, a golden light flashed, and a huge magic circle instantly appeared under Lucy's feet. All the stars who had signed the contract with Lucy stood behind her and watched firmly with Lucy. Attached to the Star Spirit King!

"The stars... actually appeared together..."Loki looked at Lucy in surprise. He didn't expect that Lucy's bond with the stars was so deep!

Soon, all the stars disappeared, and Lucy collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, but she still tried to raise her head and look at the Star King:"If you are also a Star, you will definitely understand the feelings of Loki and Aries!"

As Lucy's last sentence fell, the Star King fell silent. He understood what Lucy meant:"Old friend has said so much, so the wrong thing may be the [rules]. In order to save Leo who wants to save Aries, and old friends who want to save Leo, for the sake of this beautiful bond, I will deal with this matter specially! Leo, you can go back to the Star Realm!"

Lucy finally smiled and winked at the Star King:"Old man with a long beard, you are a good person!"

The Star King also grinned back at Lucy, turned around and followed the stars, and left a word to Loki:"If you still want to pay for your sins, then risk your life to protect the one in front of you!"

Loki finally shed tears. He no longer had to live with sin in his life. He lived to protect Lucy who saved him!

"Thank you, Lucy! I will protect you from now on! Please take care of me!"

The gate to the spirit world opened, and Loki turned into smoke and returned, leaving the key to Leo in Lucy's palm.

"Please take care of me!"

Lucy's smile was bright and sunny, like the goddess of salvation.
