Chapter 233: The Chess Game Begins
Although Gray finished the battle before Elusa, he was the last to arrive at the assembly camp due to his own injuries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the makeshift camp was really full of wounded soldiers, except for Leibi, who had basically never encountered a battle at all, and the others all had wounds large and small, but the severity was different.
But Lebby sat down on the ground exhausted, and the petite girl carried Gajiru back aloneβthe weight of the dragon was not light.
Jubian was also found and brought back by Elusa when she returned. She was the most seriously injured, along with Elufman, Abba, Grinn and Makarov. Thankfully, the Mila Jenny sisters prepared first aid in advance to stabilize their injuries, and when Wendy returned, the level of treatment at the camp skyrocketed.
Seeing Gray bleeding all the way back, Wendy hurriedly stepped forward to treat him.
"Thank you, Wendy. Gray also slackened and made it to the ground.
While Wendy was working her healing spell, Gray noticed a few strangers in the camp. At this time, on Sirius Island, there are only two groups of people, Fairy Tail and Demon Heart, right? Since they are not their own people......
Gray subconsciously tensed up, staring at the strange strangers.
Aoyama was conducting his own band to play a serenade, and the melodious melody seemed to melt into the air, and Gray didn't notice that there was still background music in the camp until just now.
Nono was also bored on the sidelines, holding a comb to fix the fighting queen's hair.
These people...... It really doesn't look like an enemy!" Gray bewildered, and looked at Elusa with a puzzled look.
"They are the magicians of the 'scales'...... We're allies at the moment, and we're thanks to their help this time. Elusa had just figured out what had happened, and briefly introduced it to Gray.
Nono looked over and raised the comb in his hand to greet him, "Good afternoon, Mr. Gray." You're Master Woz's junior brother, aren't you? β
Qingshan also turned around and saluted gracefully: "Good afternoon." Now~ all the people in your guild are here~ although some people are seriously injured~ but~~ they are not worried about their lives~ what a blessing!"
Elusa asked with concern, "Gray, how is your injury?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh wound. With Wendy's treatment to stop the bleeding, it's fine. β
Elusa breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good...... There is no room for relaxation yet, the war is not over. She stood up and looked around at her companions, "Although I am very reluctant to let such people go to the battlefield again, the enemy has not been completely destroyed, and the leader of the Demon Heart, Hades, has not been defeated yet! β
Gray was surprised, "The leader of the enemy hasn't been defeated yet, so what is he doing now?" He looked around and suddenly noticed that there were two people missing from the camp, Mester and Woz.
After Mester's memory magic was broken, Gray also quietly realized the truth, so it is understandable that the other party is not here, but where did Woz go? Gray didn't believe that any other enemy could hold him back, except ......
"Woz is fighting Hades?" he asked, stunned.
"Calculate the time, it should be handed over by now. "But don't worry, it's not Lord Wads alone, the chess player has been dragging Hades alone much earlier." β
After Nono and Aoyama arrive at camp and tell everyone that the players are fighting against President Hades, Woz drops what he is doing - leaving the task of perfecting the camp's defenses to Lebby and Philid, but rushes to the battlefield despite the dissuasion of others.
Through the battle with Urrutia, Gray knew very well that Hades was powerful, and he was not the same species as ordinary magicians!
Even an S-rank magician would not be an opponent of Hades, and even President Makarov, who has a Saint Tenth rank, was seriously injured by him!, which is why Elusa is forced to plead with everyone to work together to fight against a strong enemy, Hades does have such strength.
But in the face of such an enemy, Waz went alone? and more importantly, his companions did not stop him? Gray looked at Mila Jenny in surprise - even Mila Jenny did not dissuade Woz from taking the risk!
"Hey, I said, don't show that expression. Nono said, "How much do you despise Lord Woz's strength? As a gamer, you can't imagine Lord Woz's true strength...... What's more, the chess players are also there! give me a little respect!"
"Are we just waiting here?" said Gray excitedly, looking at Natsu, who was so impatient that Natsu was sitting quietly beside him, without saying a word, making Gray wonder if he had read it wrong.
Although Mira Jenny looked worried, she still reluctantly smiled as usual: "Everyone needs to take a break now." Didn't Elusa say that we should recover a little before we went to fight together. β
President Makarov, who had always been awake, also said at this moment: "Actually, the main problem now is not our combat strength and courage, but our identity...... In the next battle against Hades, in what capacity should our Fairy Tail participate in the battle?"
"Huh, do you need a reason for this?" Gray was surprised as if he had heard the Arabian Nights, "We need an identity and a reason to fight the dark magicians who attack and guild?"
Is this still the tail of the fairy he is familiar with? Gray couldn't help but wonder if he had unknowingly traveled back into a parallel world. Hasn't Fairy Tail always been "lawless"?
"It wasn't needed. "But when we balance the scales, and the leader of the chess players, intervene in this war...... The question of identity is very important. β
"The nature of war has changed. This demonic heart invasion event has finally changed from a simple guild civil war to a part of the chess game, and it is the current third-generation chess game. A pleasant and ethereal voice came from everyone's heads, and Mebis landed leisurely in the center of the camp, "Originally, this war was just a war between two guilds, at most it was just a conflict between the forces of darkness and light, and it was counted as the last chess game. But the arrival of chess players at this moment complicates what was already a simple battle. Hades is now fighting two of his current opponents, so he's part of the game that's about to begin!"
Although most of the goblins present did not understand Mebis's words, it was Mebis himself who was even more surprised at this moment.
"This is Mebis, the original leader of our guild!" Kana hurriedly introduced to everyone, "Don't be nervous, she's just a ghost now. β
"Ghost, is it more nervous to hear you say that?" Lucy grumbled.
Mester's figure suddenly flashed to the edge of the camp, and the teleportation magic was blocked by the defensive spell: "Everyone get out of this island......! President Mebis?" He happened to see Mebis floating in the air, and heard the words that she was a ghost, "Could it be that Jelf is also ......"
"No, he's still alive. "That's right, Dark Archmage Jeff is on Sirius Island, and he's already on his way to fight there. β
The little girl points to where Hades and Woz, the chess players, are.
The band suddenly pulled out a screeching noise, and Aoyama forcibly interrupted the performance, "What are you talking about? Jelf is here too?" He stared at Meester deadly, because he was not the Fairy Tail Magus, he and Nono had no idea of Mebis's existence, and could only look for answers from Meester.
"Damn! how did he get here!" Nono couldn't stay any longer, so he took the fighting queen and ran to the battlefield, right now their "Scales" organization was not ready to face Jelf and Akuno Rolia!
The two men of the balance ran away with their puppets. The goblins were a little dizzy by the informative news and did not take any effective measures immediately.
Mebis's small face was very serious: "Although I am already a dead person, I am no longer the leader of Fairy Tail. But for now, I hope you will grant my request......"
"We're going to fight!" Natsu slammed his fist to the ground, flames rising, "No need to explain too much, Fairy Tail never runs away from fighting!"
"Hachiyo-sama, please give the order. Makarov also made a statement, "This war, after all, is still the tail of our goblins, and we are obliged to end it personally." β
Mebis looked around, and due to the recovery of the magic power of the Sirius Tree, all the seriously injured also woke up and recovered quickly, and everyone looked at her with a determined look in their eyes.
"So...... My intent was to hold Jelf down and not let him hurt Woz. Mebis's voice was still ethereal, but full of awe, "Because I'm just a ghost, I can't use the power of my life, so I have to rely on everyone's power." β
"Do you want to fight that Jelf?" the hearts of the people were heavy, this goal was far more terrifying than Hades.
"We don't need to beat him. "It's just to stop him." Jelf is going to kill Woz and Hades. In accordance with Fairy Tail tradition, we will not give up on any of our families!"
"Hades too?" someone asked.
Mebis nodded solemnly: "Yes, Presitto counts as well." When facing Jelf, Fairy Tail must be one in any way. β
Mira Jenny suddenly crushed the cup in her hand, and said with a sneer: "Then, I'll go over and have a look first." β
Due to the urgency of the situation, everyone could not sit still, and soon they all got up and set off collectively. Although they were covered in bandages, these guys were the most powerful magicians, and they were all powerful in a sudden move.
With this kind of strength, even against Jelf is not without a chance of winning - at least it is not difficult to prevent him from killing Woz. But Mebis was still gloomy, and Makarov, who was walking behind, noticed.
"What's wrong, Hashige? What are you worried about?"
"I have a hunch that a new chess game is about to begin!"
"Uh...... So, is there anything out of the ordinary?" asked Makarov with some skepticism, because Mebis himself died before the game began, and the second generation of chess games never really started. Theoretically, she couldn't have known what the game would look like.
"Two players from this generation have gathered, and Jelf is also on Sirius Island, and he and I are also players of the second generation of chess games. Mebis looked at Natsu, "You don't know who Natsu really is, do you? I can tell that he's the inheritance of the first generation of players...... That kid is the inheritor of Jun Li's will!"
Makarov looked confused: "This ...... I really don't know. β
"If I'm right...... This means that a new game of chess is about to begin. "This big scene is a celebration and ceremony for the start of a new round of chess games...... Well, it's a nightmare!"
Makarov seemed to grasp something in his heart, and quickly asked: "What do you mean......"
"All the players or successors of the three generations of chess players have come together as a start...... Then that one will come too?" Mebis turned his head to look at the distant horizon, "Is this to end everything in the beginning?
On the distant sea in the north, a thick pitch-black wind rushes in.
