Magnolia Fairy Tail Tavern

In front of the tavern, a somewhat illusory-looking figure appeared, and then the figure gradually materialized, and a black-haired boy in a black power suit appeared in its place.

The boy looked at the door of the tavern and saw that it was closed, and there was no one around, and it seemed very quiet.

"How can it be so quiet?" the boy muttered to himself, frowning, looking at the door of the confined tavern and seeing what appeared to be a small note on it.

The boy walked over and took a look and found that it was Fairy Tail's message to the outside world, and after reading it, the boy realized that the entire Fairy Tail had participated in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Exercise of the King of Fiore, and not a single planet would accept the commission in the future.

"I see, Mira, Lucy, they're going to participate in this," the boy nodded slightly and muttered to himself, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Strange, why did you feel a wave of hatred just now, and it seems to be coming from here?" the boy turned to look behind him, Magnolia.

"Why is there no more now?" the boy muttered to himself, confused.

Turning his head again to look at the note on the door and looking down at his hand, "Do you want to go to Kulokas?"

"Do you want to go in the form of this mindfulness body?" the boy frowned, "because Ya'er and Xiaoya's problem body can't leave the other side of the world for the time being, and they can't separate part of the magic power from the mindfulness body, so it's rude to think like this......" The boy muttered to himself.

Looking at the door again, the boy fell silent, "I...... Isn't it too ...... Selfish ......"

……

On the other side of the world, in a treehouse surrounded by a film of light

Two slender figures, one large and one small, held hands, obviously these were two women, their bodies were floating in the air unconsciously, white light gushed out from their bodies and swept around, and then was blocked by a golden light film and then disappeared, outside the golden light film was a magic array covered with many magic patterns inside the treehouse.

Outside the treehouse, the young man's originally sitting body stood up, and then looked at the treehouse that was emitting various lights.

"Am I being too willful?" the boy whispered to himself.

"Can I really resist the curse of the gods with my strength?" the boy frowned, clenched his fists, and looked at the treehouse, which glowed black from time to time.

Surprisingly, this black light forms an Oriental Chinese character for "seal".

…………

Kuloka Domus Arena

"Oops, Lucy has thrown in the towel, and the winner, Freya the crow's tail...... This is simply too surprising, Lucy didn't attack from the beginning to the end, and she still took the initiative to admit defeat, is it because the two guilds are deliberately merciful because of the father-son relationship?" Kabaddi said loudly.

"No, if it weren't for Lucy's appearance, it would definitely beat Ivan's stupid guild to the ground......" Makanov scolded loudly after hearing this voice.

"Calm down, President" Lishana grabbed Makanov again, because Makanov was so excited that half of his body was outside the fence.

"What was going on with Lucy, why did it seem so painful?" Rebi looked at Elusa in the arena who had already rushed towards Lucy.

"I don't know, that Freya didn't attack Lucy or say anything, Lucy seems to be in pain herself" Lisana shook her head.

Mebis, who was next to Makanov, frowned slightly and looked at Lucy in the field, "It should be right, the feeling of that magic is very similar to the person from three months ago, according to what he said, the nature of this magic is the same as the sacrificial magic, so the magic just now is ......"

"The magic of sacrificing a particular sacrifice to obtain magic...... Ancient Ritual Magic...... It's the only magic I've never seen, a magic that has been lost for hundreds of years......" Mebis said to himself, frowning.

Mebis looked up at the audience of the sneering Fairy Tail, "Is there any use of this magic among these people?" Mebis said to himself.

At the top of the auditorium, a man in a black cloak looked at Lucy, who was already surrounded by Elusa below, "What a waste...... I can't do this sacrifice, that's why I'm so weak...... Sure enough, I was the only one who did it myself......" The deep female voice sounded, and then the figure gradually disappeared in place.

in the arena

"Lucy, what's wrong with you, why was it so painful just now?" Elusa asked hurriedly.

"It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with her body," Kana also ran over from Team B to check on Lucy's injuries, and found that Lucy only had some skin injuries.

Lucy knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth and pressing her head, as if her head hurt, Dakai only slowly put down the hand that pressed her head after hearing Elusa's voice, and her expression gradually returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, everyone......" Lucy cried under her breath.

"It's okay, after all, you're not fit to fight right now," Elusa said.

"yes, isn't there a few more days, and then let them see if we're at the bottom of the elf tail, and let them see how we come back around," Natsu clenched his fists and looked around at the audience.

Lucy looked up at Elusa and the others around her, remembering the fact that she had been leaning on them, her eyes couldn't help but pantothenic again.

"Well, please...... You're ......," Lucy nodded softly and cried in a low voice.

Kana then picked up Lucy, and the group left the arena together. Because the next matchup was about to begin, they had to leave the field.

By the time Kana helped Lucy to the entrance, Mirajane had already walked over.

"Is it alright, Lucy?" asked Mirajane.

"It's all right......" Lucy whispered, shaking her head.

"Hand it over to me, Kana, your team B will have a game in a while, Elusa, you can go to the support station, although it is said that Team A's game is over today, but if you want to win, you must know the strength level of the other guilds," Mirajan said.

"Well, Lucy, please, Mira" Kana nodded, and then Mirajane helped Lucy from Kana's hand, and Kana walked towards Team B, and Elusa and they walked to the support stand to watch the next game.

"Sister Mira, don't help me. I want to go by myself," and after everyone left, Lucy broke free of Mirajane's support.

"Eh, is it really okay?" said Mirajan, a little confused.

"Hmm......" Lucy nodded slightly, looking a little unnatural.

"What just happened, why are you in such pain?" asked Mirajane.

After hearing Mirajan's question, Lucy stopped walking slowly forward, and the whole person was silent.

"Sister Mira, can I ask you something?" Lucy asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.

"Yes...... Mirajane said as she looked at Lucy's back.

"No matter how low a person's strength is, can he survive as long as he relies on the strength of his partners?" asked Lucy.

"Of course," replied Mirajan after a moment's thought.

"But in the seven years that we have been away, Uncle Maka Owakaba, have they lived happily ever after, they have not...... It's more painful, is this the power of your companions?" said Lucy, her voice slightly louder.

Lucy ...... What are you talking about?" said Mirajane, looking at Lucy in confusion.

"Because of the strength of my companions, I have not wanted to make progress myself, which has led to what was and is now," Lucy's hands clenched into fists.

"I'm really useless...... Woo-woo......" Lucy said as she whispered again.

"Lucy......" Mirajane suddenly yelled at Lucy, and this roar directly startled Lucy.

"No one will blame you for losing this game, and no one will think that you are strong because you rely on the strength of your companions, and naturally no one thinks that a person with no magic power has the courage to stand on the big demon fight is weak, on the contrary, this is absolutely powerful, and the inner ...... is stronger than the external strength," Mirazhen said in a deep voice.

Lucy gritted her teeth and seemed to endure some pain, but Lucy's expression was complicated, as if she was enduring something.

"Lucy, you've experienced these things, why are you saying these things now?" asked Mirajan in a deep voice.

After hearing Mirajane's words, Lucy let out a cry of pain, and then pressed her head and half fell to the ground, seeing this scene, Mirajane's expression changed, this is what she looked like, not long ago in the game, Lucy suddenly appeared in this situation, which puzzled everyone.

"What's wrong, Lucy, headache?" Mirajane immediately crouched down and touched Lucy's head.

"Voice......" Lucy cried out in pain.

"What do you mean?" shouted Mirajane......, confused.

"Ah......" Lucy cried out in pain, gritting her teeth, for some reason it was extremely painful.

"What's going on?" Mirajan was a little helpless.

"There's a magic in her body, and it seems to be trying to repair her broken source of magic," just then a voice rang out, and Mirajane looked up to see that it was the original Mebis.

"Ah, what do you mean, restoration?" cried out Mirajane in surprise.

"But I'm not sure it seems to be repairing, this magic seems to be trying to repair the magic source because it can't work in her body, because it's passive, so it will bring great pain to people when repairing, but the degree of this magic power is not enough to repair the magic source, at most it can only make the damage a little smaller" Mebis continued.

"Primordial, what's going on?, do you know something?" asked Mirajan, looking at Lucy, who was in pain.

"No, I don't know, if it were some other magic, I would, but I know very little about it," Mebis said in a deep voice.

"This magic?" Mirajan wondered.

"I just heard about the Flame of Life from the third generation," Mebis looked at Mirajan, "I think the Flame of Life that you lost should be a derivative of this kind of magic."

"That'...... What kind of magic is that?" Mirajane looked at Mebis in surprise.

"Ancient sacrificial magic, the first magic discovered and used by humans......" Mebis said as she looked at Mirajan.

"Swire ...... Sacrifice...... Magic ......" Mirajane was stunned.

"And who's repairing the mana source for Lucy?" Mirajane quickly reacted and immediately asked.

"I don't know, there was a magic similar to sacrificial magic just now, but it disappeared quickly," Mebis said, shaking his head.

"Is it Ashu?" Mirajan frowned.

"I don't want to talk about it, but I have to make it clear that the magic isn't the one you said Ashu was talking about......" Mebis said, looking at Lucy again, "but more like her own magic......"

"Eh......" Mirazhen was stunned.

At this moment, Lucy's voice was lowered when she was screaming in pain, and Mirajan immediately looked at Lucy, and found that a trace of golden light appeared in Lucy's body, and then the light seemed to be sucked by something to form a golden ball of light one centimeter long in the air above Lucy's body, surprisingly this ball of light was not dazzling, and Lucy seemed to be unconscious at this time.

"Lucy......" Mirajane shook Lucy and found that Lucy was unresponsive.

"Don't worry, I'm just unconscious because my body is relaxed all of a sudden, and I'll wake up after a while," Mebis said.

"Then this ball of light ......," Mirajan looked at the ball of light in the air again.

"This is the magic in Lucy's body, it seems that Lucy herself is very repulsed by this magic, but she didn't expect that she actually relied on willpower to drive this magic out" Mebis was a little surprised.

"It doesn't look like some evil magic," Mirajan said, looking at the ball of light.

"Yes, fortunately, the person who used the sacrificial magic is not an evil person," Mebis chuckled softly, "but there is a trace of death in this magic, and that person is definitely not a good ......" Mebis didn't say it, but said it in his heart.

As Lucy was unconscious, Mirajane helped Lucy to Fairy Tail's infirmary, where Polyusica was sitting quietly in a chair.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Polyusica.

"Lucy has just been named to participate in the competition, and now her spirit is a little low, I'll take her to deal with the skin trauma on her body" Mirajan looked at the unconscious Lucy.

"Help her to this bed," Polyusica said.

"Well, Wendy and Charlulu are alright," Mirajan nodded, helping Lucy to the bed that Polyusica had spoken.

"I'm almost going to wake up soon," Polyusica said, checking on Lucy, who was unconscious.

"I didn't have any injuries to my head, just a little tired mentally, and it seems that I will wake up soon, and as for the skin wounds on my body, I will need to bandage them a little," said Polyusica.

"Well, that's great," Mirajan nodded.

When Mirajane helped Polyusica bandage Lucy's wounds, Lucy slowly woke up.

"Lucy, are you awake......" Mirajane shouted as soon as she saw Lucy wake up.

"Sister Mira, what's wrong with me?" Lucy frowned, pressing her head with one hand and slowly sitting up on the bed with the other.

"Lucy, you just passed out," Mirajan replied.

"I fainted?" Lucy said in some surprise.

"Lucy, don't you remember?" Mirajane was taken aback.

"I remember, I threw in the towel in my game......" Lucy suddenly remembered her game.

"Still sad?" asked Mirajane.

"No, it's just a pity......" Lucy shook her head.

"And remember what happened before the end of the game?" asked Mirajane carefully.

"What's the matter?" said Lucy, a little confused.

"It's just something that got into you," Mirajan asked cautiously.

"Huh...... What are you talking about?" said Lucy, who shuddered when she heard Mirajan say this.

"That's ......," Mirajan stopped when she tried to say something.

"I remembered...... At that time, a voice sounded in my head, what if I am willing to give......" Lucy lowered her voice and said without continuing.

"What to pay?" asked Mirajane at once.

"If I have the qualifications to love and be loved, then I can get the strength to win the game......" Lucy said in a deep voice.

"And then?......" asked Mirajane.

"I refused, because I felt that this was not the power of the righteous path, so I refused, but I didn't expect that after refusing, my head hurt, and then I felt that my heart was very chaotic and something was haunting me, Sister Mira, what's wrong with me?" Lucy looked at Mirazhen suspiciously.

"It's okay, it should be the reason why you can't let go of your heart, lie down and have a good rest, and at night, you will ask Gerald to help you open the second source of mana, and there will be some hardships to suffer when the time comes" Mirazhen said, frowning slightly as she spoke.

"Well, you'll have to open the second source of mana, but what's the point of suffering?" Lucy wondered.

"There's a free lunch there, and if you want to gain strength, you'll have to suffer a bit," Mirajan laughed.

"Eh......" Lucy's erotic color suddenly changed.

"Don't worry, I'm with you, because I need some strength to protect myself," Mirajan laughed.

"That's right...... Huh," Lucy laughed too.

――――――――――

"Lucy, do you want the strength to solve your current predicament" When Lucy was hesitating whether to admit defeat or not, a deep voice suddenly appeared in Lucy's mind, and this voice Lucy sounded somewhat familiar.

"The power to win the game?" Lucy was shocked.

"That's right, as long as you pay a certain price, then you can get a lot of power......" The deep voice sounded again.

"Who are you, and why are you helping me?" asked Lucy.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing is that if you want to get the power to reach the other side of the world, and when you meet Ah Xiu, then you have to agree to my request, and I can give you the strength," continued in a low voice.

"What are the requirements?" asked Lucy.

"Lose your companions, lose your qualifications to love and lose your qualifications to be loved, and then get the power to change the future......" The voice sounded in Lucy's head, and these words also made Lucy stunned.

"What are you kidding? how can this be, who the hell are you......" Lucy shouted, and looked around.

"Don't look at it, you can't see me, so you refuse?" the voice continued.

"As much as I would love to help the guild win, and I would like to know what it is like for Ashu to be on the other side of the world, I don't want to win with the power of evil, and I don't want to lose my lover qualifications......" Lucy said coldly.

After Lucy's words were finished, her voice seemed to be silent for a while, "You will regret it, and later you will know how much you will hate yourself for not having the strength to share the pain for your loved ones, and you will watch the world go into destruction little by little until everyone in this world dies......" The tone of the voice changed from flat to sharp.

"What do you mean, who the hell are you?" Lucy froze.

"You'll know who I am, but not now, before those things happen...... But maybe it won't happen......" The voice grew lower as Lucy felt a sharp pain in her head.

……

――――――――――

"What about it?......? What is it?" Lucy said to herself as she lay back on the bed.

"Who the hell is talking...... Why do you know about me, and even the other side of the world?" Lucy thought to herself, her brow furrowed.
