"When did you come," Lucy said in surprise.

"It's been here for a while, and it has appeared since Natsu left," Qin Xiu said.

"Sister, why did you tell them that? you burned our ship, and if Gerald hadn't found out, we'd all have been burned to death, Gerald said it was because we didn't learn magic through the right channels, and my sister was so obsessed with magic that she wanted to bury everything we had," Hugh shouted at Elusa.

"Is that what Gerald said?" asked Gray.

"Hey, do you really think Elusa you know could do such a thing," Lucy shouted.

Elusa looked at Hugh silently.

"You know what, it was Gerald's words that saved me, so I was willing to spend eight years to complete this tower, but you say it's all a lie, right sister, it's Gerald's fault, is it all Gerald's fault?" Hugh shouted, kneeling on the ground as he spoke.

Just when everyone thought Hugh had woken up, a male voice suddenly sounded, "That's right"

Then it was dark, and a tall man appeared.

"Simon" Elusa looked at Simon who suddenly appeared in surprise.

"You're the one who attacked us," Gray immediately looked at the man who suddenly appeared warily.

"Lord Gray, please stop, when he was in Arcane, he knew that Lord Gray was a stand-in but still attacked the stand-in," Jubia said, holding Gray down.

"Well, Gray don't do it, when I was tied up by that Miliana, he showed up and asked Miliana to go with him, at that time, there was obviously a chance to kill me, but he took Miliana away" Qin Xiu followed and said.

"It's impossible for a dark magician to be blind to his surroundings, and I'm here not only to help you but also to make sure of this," Jubia said.

"It's worthy of the four elements of ghosts, you can detect it," Simon said, looking at Jubia.

"As for Mr. Qin Xiu, I believe that even if I don't come out, I will be safe, how can a magician who can use the shape of fire and have a powerful body technique be subdued so easily" Simon looked at Qin Xiu again and said.

"Elusa, I've always believed in you, I've been believing in you for eight years," Simon said, looking at Elusa.

"Simon......" Elusa looked at Simon, her voice trembling a little.

"Thank you......" Elusa didn't expect that there were still people who believed in her among her former companions, and she hugged Simon next in her emotion.

"Hugh, it was Gerald who lied to everyone, and it was Elusa who was right," Simon said as he looked at Hugh on his knees.

"Why?" Hugh asked, looking at Simon.

"From the day Elusa left, I believed that Elusa would not leave us for no reason, let alone what Gerrard said, so I kept pretending to be lied to for the sake of this day," Simon said.

"What do you mean for this day?" asked Gray.

"For the day the mighty magicians gather at the Tower of Paradise, for the day Gérard is defeated," Simon said.

Hugh looked at Simon in shock, and then looked at Qin Xiu and the others to understand Simon's intentions, and remembered Elusa's previous behavior and what she had done, and a wave of remorse rose in her heart and couldn't help crying.

"Sister, I'm sorry I didn't trust you like Simon, I'm sorry," Hugh cried.

"It's okay Hugh, I'm also at fault, if I hadn't been so weak, maybe all this would have changed," Elusar said softly.

"Woo," Hugh looked at Elusa's gentle smile and hugged Elusa and cried.

"Mighty magician, indeed, Elusa, Asho, Natsu, Gray, and Jubia are all together in this lineup, etc., am I strong?" Lucy said.

"The Star Spirit Wizard itself is not very powerful, but the Star Spirit is very powerful," Simon said.

"But the most important thing now is to avoid the two of them from the dragon and Woolly Miliana, we need to find the dragon quickly," Simon said.

"In that case, without further ado, let's hurry up and find Natsu," Qin Xiu said.

"Come with me, I know the direction," Simon said

"Hmm," everyone nodded, and followed Simon to find Natsu.

Natsu, on the other hand, runs away alone and sniffs the smell and quickly finds a strange room.

"What kind of room is this, why is it full of cat toys?The smell of the harpy is also gone here, is the harpy there?" Natsu looked at the room strangely, and shouted as he walked in.

"No, hey, this one looks pretty good, you can wear it on your head," Natsu said, picking up a large cat-hood prop.

Then he put the hood on his head all at once.

"Let's go, Harpy, love," Natsu said, putting on her hood, pretending to be weird.

"Yes, but now I'll have to find Harpy," Natsu muttered to herself, and then tried to take the cat's hood off only to find that she couldn't take it off.

"Ah, I can't take it off, what should I do?" said Natsu anxiously, tugging at his hood.

"Forget it, it's fun, so I'll wear it for now, by the way, I forgot to speak a day of Lynch, but I don't think I need to say it now," Natsu said.

"Ouch" Natsu suddenly sneezed, trying to wipe her nose but couldn't because she was wearing a hood.

"There's no way to wipe it like this, it's a disgusting feeling," Natsu shouted, wiping his nose with his hand.

"It's better to take it off," he said, and began to tug hard at the hood on his head.

――――――――――――

"Damn, Woolley and Miliana actually cut off the communication, so it is impossible to determine their location," Simon said as he ran ahead.

"Communications?" said Lucy, confused.

"It's the magic of telecommunication that allows you to talk to people who are far away," Jubia explains.

"Ah Xiu, I can be sure that they won't kill us, but I can't deny that they have other ideas," Gray said to Qin Xiu.

"I don't know, but now I can only take one step at a time, but I can't relax my guard," Qin Xiu said.

"So I'm not going to explain," Simon said, turning his head to look at Gray and Qin Xiu.

"If the people who died in that situation couldn't stand up to Gerald," Simon said.

"If you go, you're going to die," Simon continued.

Lucy was startled when she heard Simon's words.

"And I'm sure Natsu of you can go toe-to-toe with Gerald," Simon said.

"Natsu......" Lucy wondered.

"Well, you may not have discovered Natsu's potential power, but once Natsu gains the power of a dragon, his strength will increase exponentially," Simon said.

"Cut," Gray snorted.

――――――――――――

"Bye-bye, fire dragon" suddenly sounded a sentence, followed by a gunshot.

Natsu, who was pulling the hood, was startled, and immediately turned to see that it was the square face that had attacked her last night.

"Miriana, what are you doing here," Woolly said angrily as she looked at Miliana who had pressed her gun in the other direction.

"Don't hurt the cat," Miliana said, pressing her gun.

"Look, he's a cat, he's just a man with a hood," Woolley shouted.

Miliana looked at Natsu with the hood.

"......," Natsu was speechless, "Do you want to continue talking cat language?" Natsu thought to herself.

"Meow" decided to deal with it for a while, and Natsu immediately spoke cat language.

Woolley froze for a moment when Natsu barked at the cat, and then yelled at Natsu "What do you mean, stinky boy"

"It's a cat, and it's human," Miliana said after hearing Natsu's cat.

"Get out of the way, Miliana, it's a human, and it's an enemy" Woolly pushed Miliana away at once, and her whole body turned into countless blocks and attacked Natsu.

When Natsu saw it, he immediately picked up a large cat toy and blocked Woolley's attack.

"Meow, cat shield," Natsu said in cat and human language as she blocked the attack.

"Meow, Catfire" After blocking the attack, Natsu ignited flames with both hands and attacked Woolley.

When Miliana watched Natsu and Woolley keep attacking each other, destroying the cat toys around them one by one, she realized that Natsu was not a cat, and if it was a cat, how could she use magic to block the attack of magic with cat toys.

"Damn, I'm so angry that I'm pretending to be a cat even though I'm a human, cat restraint rope" Miliana said angrily, and a rope flew out of Miriana's hand, immediately entangled Natsu's hand.

Seeing that his hand was entangled, Natsu didn't pay attention to it at all, and was about to continue attacking, but found that the flames of his phone could not come out.

"Meow, what's going on? Is it the rope?" said Natsu, looking at the rope in his hand, and immediately tugged at the rope in his hand only to find that the rope was very difficult to untie.

"Well done, Miriana," Woolly said happily when she saw Natsu tied up by Miriana's rope.

"Fire Dragon, eat me" Woolly suddenly controlled one of his body blocks and slammed Natsu in the face, but Natsu was barely injured due to the hood on his head.

Another restraint rope binds Natsu's hand to her body, making it impossible for Natsu's hand to move.

"It's really time to say goodbye this time, Fire Dragon" Woolly smiled as he looked at Natsu as he fell to the ground, his body turned into his original state, and his right hand turned into a gun pointed at Natsu again.

"It's over, it's over, it's really over" Natsu didn't expect that he would actually get such a trick, the magic couldn't make it, his hands were tied again, and he couldn't fight at all, so he had to run on the ground like a worm, hoping to run away.

"By the way, I forgot to say what a gentleman should say," Woolley said as he suddenly remembered something, looking up.

Then he looked at Natsu again, pointed the gun at Natsu's ass and said slowly, "Your fate was ...... the moment you met me" Before Woolley could finish speaking, a shadow flew over and knocked Woolley's gun to the side at once.

"Harpy" Natsu happily looked at the sudden appearance of Harpy.

"Cat" Miliana looked at the Harpy flying in the air in surprise.

"Damn, you interrupted my gentleman's words. Unforgivable" Woolley looked at Harpy angrily, and the gun in his right hand began to shoot at Harpy non-stop.

Miliana looked at Harpy, who kept dodging Woolley's bullets in the air, and immediately felt pity and pushed Woolley's gun to the side.

"Don't hurt the cat," Miliana shouted.

"It doesn't matter if a cat can talk, but how can it be in the sky, it's not a cat," Woolly said as she looked at Miliana, who was constantly blocking her movements.

"That's the cat, look at how scared it is," said Miliana.

"Let go of me, Miliana, I don't fight cats, I'll fight dragons," Woolley said.

"No, you're going to hurt the cat," Miliana said.

"Harpy, hurry up now," Natsu said to Harpy as he looked at the two of them who were fighting among themselves.

"Understood," Harpy nodded, and immediately flew over Natsu to untie the rope from Natsu.

"Harpy, hurry up," Natsu said anxiously.

"Yes, but this rope can't be untied," Harpy said anxiously.

"What? Looks like the only way to do it is to use my trick," Natsu said, sitting up.

Woolley and Miliana paused and looked at Natsu curiously.

"Nirvana, poor cat, meow," Natsu said with a trembling hint of a cat's voice.

"This won't work, Natsu," Harpy asked stupidly after seeing Natsu's special move.

Unexpectedly, within a few seconds, the rope on Natsu's body actually loosened.

"It worked," Harpy shouted in surprise.

"Miliana, do you know what you're doing?" Woolley shouted at Miriana.

"But the cat is pitiful," said Miliana pitifully.

"He's not a cat, he's a dragon," Woolly shouted.

And at this moment, Natsu rushed over at once.

The two of them, who were fighting with each other in the "Fire Dragon's Wing Strike", didn't notice Natsu's movements for a while, and were knocked to the ground by Natsu at once.

"Great, revenge on Square Face succeeded," Natsu jumped excitedly.

"I almost died just now, and now I'm so happy, I said, Natsu, how long are you going to wear that hood," Harpy said.

"Do you think I want to, I can't take it," Natsu said depressedly.

"I'll help you," Harpy said.

"That's great, Harpy," Natsu said, and it took a great deal of effort for the man and the cat to pull the hood off Natsu's head.

Qin Xiu and the others were struggling to climb up, hoping to find Natsu quickly, when a voice sounded around them at this time.

"Welcome to the Tower of Paradise, I'm Gerald"

"Geral?" Simon was startled.

"At this time, I want to tell you that I planned a game, the rules of the game are very simple, I want Elusa to be used as a sacrifice to resurrect Jelf, as long as you can successfully reach the top of the tower to stop me, even if you win, otherwise I win, for the sake of fairness, I specially equipped three warriors, that is, a three-on-eight game, by the way, there is one more thing, the people of the Senate have found out here, they are preparing to launch a satellite magic array to attack here, that is, the magic elf power, as long as the magic spirit power is activated here, everything will come to naught, and no one can win anyone at that time, come onHave fun playing the game," and Gerald's voice faded around.

"What is Gerald doing? Three warriors, who are they? How can the magic elf power also fall," Simon said in surprise.

Hugh looked at Elusa with a trembling body behind him, a glint in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

The magic array in his hand flashed, and a card appeared in Hugh's hand, and inside was Elusa, and Hugh trapped Elusa in the card.

"Hugh, what are you doing," Elusa shouted in the card, smashing it constantly.

Everyone watched Hugh's movements in amazement, not knowing what Hugh wanted to do.

"I won't let my sister be hurt in the slightest, Gerald will be defeated by me" Hugh looked at Qin Xiu and the others and said, and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Hugh, you can't defeat Gerald alone, wait" Simon was taken aback and immediately chased after Hugh.

"Damn, Ah Xiu, I don't worry about Elusa, you go to Natsu first, I'll chase after you and take a look" Gray said to Qin Xiu.

"Well, that's fine," Qin Xiu nodded.

"I'll go too," said Jubia.

"Whatever you want," Gray said.

"Jubia can help Mistress Gray," Jubia said.

"Alright then, let's go together, just find Natsu and Lucy," Gray said.

Gray then chased after Simon with Jubia.

But without running a few steps, Gray turned back to Qin Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, give me a fire elf"

"Uh" Lucy was stunned for a moment, and was about to stop it, but Qin Xiu had already given a fire spirit to Gray, and after Gray got the fire elf, he directly sent his magic power to the fire elf, and a thin layer of ice actually formed outside the flame of the fire elf, and Gray immediately turned around and ran after getting the fire elf.

"Now is a special situation, no, no," Qin Xiu looked at Lucy and said.

"But," Lucy wanted to say something, but Qin Xiu stopped her.

"For the sake of your companions, don't you want to save Loki, and I'm the same, even if you have a little less vitality, what's the matter" Qin Xiu said.

Lucy was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to let Qin Xiu do it.

"Let's go too, go find Natsu," Qin Xiu said.

"Hmm" Lucy nodded, and also followed Qin Xiu to continue walking forward.

Qin Xiu walked in front and thought about what Gerald said just now, "It seems that I have to take some precautions, there is always a feeling of uneasiness" lowered his head and a small black flame appeared in his hand, which was a fire spirit formed by a black flame.

"I hope it will work" Qin Xiu said in a low voice, turning his head to look at Lucy walking behind him, and found that Lucy was looking at him.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiu asked.

"Nothing, just a little worried," Lucy said.

"It's okay, don't worry, Gerald just said that he sent three warriors, I don't know when it will appear, so you must be behind me and don't leave a step" Qin Xiu said.

"Hmm" Lucy nodded, walked a few steps slightly, next to Qin Xiu, and continued to walk forward.

At the top of the Tower of Paradise, a man sat on a chair, wearing a black cloak that covered his head, with blue hair out, and a chess piece in front of him, holding a red dragon chess piece in his hand, next to a flaming chess piece,

"Fire Dragon, the shape of fire...... I don't know if it's because the fire dragon is powerful or the fire shape is better" This person is Gerald, and I don't know what he is planning.
