Chapter 38: I Will Protect You
"Seven minutes left, another seven minutes will attack here, enjoy the last seven minutes. Gerald said to Elusa.
"I'm not afraid of anything now, and even if the magic spirit power falls, if I can drag you on the road, I'll be satisfied. ”
"Hmph~~ Let's look at the trick!" said Gerald, waving his hand and releasing a few spells.
Elusa dodged these difficult, maggots-like magic, slashing them with her sword from time to time.
"Drink!!" pointed at Elusa, and a spell struck Elusa, sending her flying and knocking several pillars down. However, Elusa, who landed outside the tower, did not panic, and on the rubble that was knocked out of the tower, she continued to jump with her strength and gradually jumped back into the tower.
A sword slashed at Gerald, but he dodged it. "You really gave up the tower that you built with great difficulty!" Watching Gerald's masterpiece, Elusa sarcastically said.
"Those pillars or two are just decorations. Gerald said indifferently.
"Just for these ornaments, they have believed in you for more than ten years" Elusa was very angry when she saw Gerald's indifferent attitude.
"Don't find fault with other people's words little by little. For me, the only thing that matters is the R system, and I've spent more than a decade working on it. Gerald said as he gathered a magic orb in his hand, "It's finally done!!" and threw it at Elusa. And the magic ball exploded in an instant after hitting Elusa, splitting into countless ghosts, and binding Elusa.
However, just when he thought it was done, the ghost that bound Elusa was cut to pieces, and a sword light struck him in the back. Then, in his astonished resonance, Elusa rushed in front of him and slashed at him in the chest with a swing of the knife. Then, she was thrown to the ground by Elusa, and the whole person was suppressed by Elusa and couldn't move.
"What is your real purpose?" asked the condescending Elusa to Gerald. However, Gerald remained silent under Elusa's coercion. "Actually, the R system isn't finished!" Elusa suddenly said to Gerald, and then said to herself regardless of Gerald's somewhat surprised expression, "It's not like I haven't done anything in the past ten years, I investigated the R system, and the news that Virgil's brother inquired about, made me understand that the R system is just like what was drawn on the design drawings back then." However, there is one crucial thing missing to complete the R system. ”
"I told you...... Living Offerings...... It's you. Gerald interrupted Elusa.
"More important than the living sacrifice, the R system lacks the necessary - magic!!" Elusa ignored Gerald, and continued to herself, "For the vast magic system to kick in, it must have twenty-seven billion concepts of magic. That's a need that gathers the power of all the magicians in this world, and can't guarantee it. Elusa paused, then continued, "Neither a human body nor this tower can continue with that amount of magic. ”
Gerald didn't know if he was shocked by how much information Elusa knew about the R system, or if he was secretly plotting something, but after Elusa said this, Gerald looked at Elusa without saying a word.
"You knew the Senate was going to attack here, but you didn't leave. What the hell are you planning?"
"There are still four minutes left before the magic spirit power is launched. Gerald looked at Elusa with ease and gave a speechless answer.
"Geral!!!Your ideals have long since come to an end!! is it your wish to die like this?" Elusa put her knife on Gerald's neck and roared at him angrily, "Then let's die together!! even at the last moment, I won't let go of your hand!!"
"Elusa let go of him, I'll take care of this here. At that moment, a voice came.
Elusa turned her head to see Virgil standing behind her. "Elusa, leave the matter to me, you go first, make peace with Simon and them, and leave this island immediately. When I'm done dealing with Gerald, I'll join you. ”
"Brother, don't lie to me, you want to trick me away again. Elusa excitedly shouted at Virgil, "I don't want our next meeting to be in more than ten years." Or forever...... Forever...... I can't see each other from afar. Elusa began to cry again.
"Okay, then you can stay here! But let me deal with this guy first. As he spoke, his hands formed a circle, and he could clearly see the flow of magic in his hands. Then, the magic was infused into Gerald's body. Then, a halo appeared on all of Gerald's limbs.
"Gerald, though you told Elusa that you were controlled by Jelf, I don't believe it. Whether you're controlled or willing, there's definitely a conspiracy behind this spooky incident. However, in order to settle down, you can only be wronged for a while. Virgil said coldly to Gerald.
"Elusa, take him to stay away, what is going to happen next is very troublesome. Virgil ignored Elusa and walked alone to the center of the hall.
"Whew~~" Virgil took a deep breath, his stomach and mouth bulged at the same time, "The roar of the black dragon!!" A huge black breath erupted from Virgil's mouth and hit the ceiling, and the ceiling melted away in the black breath in an instant.
"Drink~~!" Virgil unleashed his magic power without reservation, and the wind pressure generated by the gushing out of the magic power surprised the oppressors Elusa and Gerald. "This magic doesn't have to be bad anymore. Elusa looked at Virgil in the distance and muttered to herself, "Also, that trick just now ......"
Gerald lay on the ground, looking at Elusa and Virgil not far away silently, but the light in his eyes flashed from time to time, indicating that his heart was by no means calm at this time, but Elusa, who was paying attention to Virgil, was unaware.
"Roar~~" A roar like a dragon's roar emerged from Virgil's end. Shocking Elusa and Gerald, the two of them saw that a large amount of black smoke suddenly rose from Virgil's body, and black smoke rose into the sky, and a large number of scales gradually appeared on Virgil's body. Then the black smoke gradually converged, forming a black dragon that seemed to be substantial. "Roar~~" The black dragon roared angrily, and then glanced in Gerald's direction as if he was wise, just a casual glance scared Gerald's cold sweat out. The black dragon slowly returned to Virgil's body. Then Virgil opened, his eyes, which had been closed, revealing a pair of vertical pupils.
Not only did Elusa and Gerald feel it most obviously in the vicinity, but Natsu and Simon, who were still in the tower, and Gray who had already left the tower, also felt the magic of this rush to the sky, and even the sea water stirred up by this magic power made the small boat on which several people were riding unstable. The one who felt it the most among these people was Natsu, who felt the same power from that huge magic as him, which was the power of a dragon, and it was much more powerful than him.
"Elusa, I'm sorry I haven't told you about my background before. Virgil looked at Elusa tenderly and whispered, "If one day I become a demon, you will still ...... Am I my brother?"
"Brother......" But Elusa's words were interrupted by Virgil before she could finish speaking, or she was stunned by the next change.
I saw a black curtain of light pouring out of Virgil's body, enveloping him, and at the same time, a huge magic power filled with the will to destroy darkness poured out. The sheer sheer power of the magic is indescribable, at least that's what Elusa thought. However, the Gray men outside the tower did not think so, and one of them was blown away by a huge wave, and when the boat finally came to a stop, they were equally stunned by what they saw. What they saw was that in front of them stood an immeasurable curtain of water, which had obscured it. This was caused by Virgil's magic, and the oppressive force generated by the magic from outside pushed the sea water hundreds of meters around the Tower of Paradise into the sky.
Elusa was equally stunned by what she saw. When the light curtain dissipated, she saw Virgil, but Virgil looked very different from before.
"Brother......" Elusa cried out in a soft trembling voice.
"I ...... I will...... Protect you!!" said a 'man' with blood-red eyes, scaly armor, and wings on his back.
