Chapter 229: White Legacy
After sending the jackal flying with a punch, Natsu knocked out the target of his mission, the long-winded, arrogant, and embarrassing old man of the former councillor, Michelo.
Then, at Natsu's insistence, Virgil gave up his hand and swept him aside.
This jackal uses explosive magic, and as a heat-based magician, he shouldn't be able to pose any threat to Natsu, but this guy has a very troublesome trick. When someone attacks him, the attacker will leave a spell mark on himself when they come into contact with him, and then this mark can explode violently under the control of the jackal.
Although the heat and flames of the explosion were not a problem for Natsu, the physical impact of the zero-distance blast at that moment was not even a good physical impact for Natsu. Because I didn't know this characteristic of the jackal before, there were too many explosion marks superimposed on my body after a series of attacks, and I broke out at one time and directly stunned Natsu.
This time, Natsu came back and said that he had found a trick to deal with jackals, but it was still Natsu's old-fashioned toughness, but he no longer launched a combo and did not give the opponent a chance to stack marks, and a single explosion was completely withstanding for him, a dragon slayer wizard, and eating the flames of the explosion could also bring him a certain recovery.
The next battle is completely uninteresting, that is, you punch me and I will blow you up rookies pecking each other, without any technical content. In general, Natsu's strength completely prevailed, if it weren't for the jackal's weird spell, he would have been leveled by Natsu, even if this guy turned into a werewolf and became a lot stronger, but he was still disabled by Natsu, who also broke out the power of the dragon, with a dragon killing mystery.
In the end, the jackal, who realized that he had failed, launched his last resort, relying on his ability to resurrect and directly choose to self-detonate himself into a big bomb, if it weren't for Virgil's presence, he would directly move this guy to a deserted and uninhabited no man's land, and Natsu and the town would be wiped out here.
……
"President, how is the situation? Virgil returned to Fairy Tail with Natsu and his party, as well as former Councillor Michelo and his granddaughter, and the first thing he did when he returned was to inquire about the current situation.
"There's no good news, the only one who has succeeded in rescuing is the former Councillor Michelo that Natsu brought back. Makarov looked at the former Congressman Michelo who was followed by Virgil and saw that he was not quite in good spirits, "What's wrong with him, is he injured?"
"It's okay, Natsu was a little annoying to see this guy before, and then she quieted him down for a while. Virgil leaned down and whispered in Makarov's ear, "I guess I'm not very awake at this time." ”
"Uh......h Okay, you go and keep an eye on it, and I'll ask the former councillor if he knows some information, and see if I can ask why the Gates of Hades are targeting them. Makarov groaned for a second and left Natsu behind him for beating a former councilor, and now the information about the Gates of Hades is the most important.
"yes, I see. What about the person I brought back just now, did you ask anything?" Virgil remembered the woman he brought back before, her strength was nothing to him, but she was already a very powerful master, so she should not be a small role in the Gate of Hades.
"Cut...... You stinky boy knows how to cause trouble!" Makarov was angry when he heard what Virgil said, "Do you know that guy is not human at all, and he doesn't use magic, and I was ready to break free from the magic handcuffs in an instant!"
"If it weren't for the old man, I still have some ability, and that guy is also seriously injured, I don't know how much harm it will cause!
"Aha...... Is that so?" Virgil scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Didn't I rush to the aid of Natsu and them, and thought Elfman would give you an explanation." ”
"Whew, forget it, fortunately, there is no big mess. Makarov beared, and Virgil was angry with a few words, so he didn't grasp the problem.
"The purpose of Hadesgate was not asked, only that this guy is a demon of the Book of Jelf, so their companions should be the same demon of the Book of Delf. Now it has been given several seals and power-extracting magic, and then locked in the basement for people to study, hoping to find some demonic weaknesses. Because they have the means to resurrect, they can only wait until the end of this campaign to destroy it. ”
"OK!" Virgil agrees with your decision, and turns to the location of the communication crystal, Makarov needs to convince Michelo to see what secrets the Council is hiding that attract the Gates, and he now needs to temporarily replace Makarov in the center of the operation of the fairy tail.
……
As time passed, more and more intel converged on Fairy Tail. In addition to the addresses of the seven former councillors previously known, Fairy Tail reconfirmed the locations of sixteen councillors. However, Fairy Tail now had no power left to protect the councilors, and after sharing these addresses with the other allies and guilds, he handed it over to them.
And with Makarov's communication (threat), Michaelo finally relented, and learned from his mouth the possible purpose of the Gates of Hades.
Although the councillors are in charge of a large number of secrets, including the magic spirit power, a super weapon that can destroy a country with a single blow, judging from the fact that the other party ruthlessly destroyed all the councilors of the Magic Council, even the former councilors, the gate of Hades has only one purpose.
White Legacy – Fez.
This is a weapon in the hands of the Council, the Magic Pulse Bomb, a weapon that can destroy the magic of an entire continent after exploding. Without magic, the sorcerer will not be able to use magic and will suffer from mana deficiency, while Hades' Gate will use spells that are different from human magic and will most likely not be affected.
When the human sorcerers were tortured, the Gates of Hades were intact and completely suppressed the resistless humans in terms of strength, and the humans could only be at the mercy of these demons.
However, it is not so easy to free Fez, because this dangerous weapon must be very well kept, even if Michelo owes the hospital, he only knows about it.
And if you want to release Fez, you must first break its seal, which is the life linkage magic linked to the three former councilors, and the lives of the three councilors are the keys to Fez. That's why the Gates of Hades attacked the Councillors of the Council of Magic indiscriminately, and destroying the current Council would prevent them from unleashing the power of the Wizards that could be a threat.
However, just killing the councillor representing the key can only lift the seal of Fez and not activate Fez, unless the Gate of Hades has obtained the specific location of Fez, otherwise the Gate of Hades will inevitably attack the former speaker who knows the secrets best.
"Where are Elusa and Mira!?" Knowing the urgency of time, the most important thing now is to protect the former Speaker in his hands, but fortunately he has obtained his address and sent the most powerful magician in the guild.
"According to the last contact, Elusa and the others are close to the former Speaker. ”
