Chapter Seventy-Two: Gerald's Conspiracy

"Natsu ......"

"Natsu, do you hear that" Qin Xiu and Lucy kept shouting Natsu's name as they walked, because Natsu's hearing was much better than ordinary people, so calling Natsu's name was the best way.

"Tear the ......" suddenly a hoarse voice sounded, startling Qin Xiu and Lucy.

When I saw it, it turned out to be from the slide above.

"It's the sound of a guitar, it's so ugly," Lucy said, covering her ears.

"Here, the three warriors that Geralar said, Lucy, are standing behind me," Qin Xiu said as he looked at the slide vigilantly, while a flame magic array in his hand kept spinning.

Lucy nodded, ran behind Qin Xiu, and looked at the slide.

Soon a man slid down the slide, this man held a guitar and kept playing, his head kept shaking, as if he was intoxicated with his own music, because his hair was very long, with a circle of hair waves, this is a very typical artist dress, as the sound gradually declined, the guitar sounded down.

"It's hell's playing, do you hear it, haha" The man playing the guitar looked at Qin Xiu and Lucy with a wild laugh.

"It's very ugly, you are one of the three warriors sent by Gerald?" Qin Xiu looked at the man and asked.

"That's right, the Assassination Guild, the Skull Society, one of the three crows, Vidarulens, Eagle is me" The man laughed wildly, and the man's crazy smile was like a crazy rocker, which made Qin Xiu feel a little uncomfortable looking at it.

"Assassination union?" Lucy said in surprise.

"I'm here to take you to hell, haha, hell music" Vidarulense laughed maniacally and began to play his guitar again.

"Lucy, stand back" Qin Xiu frowned and looked at Vidarulense and said, this person gave him a very unhappy feeling, especially what hellish music he played made Qin Xiu want to beat him up very much, but the uneasiness in his heart always reminded him, don't be impulsive, since Gerald only sent three warriors, then he has his purpose, Gerald, as An'ai Lusha said, is now a very evil person, and he has a way to make the whole island listen to him, which shows that he is also a calculating person, and he must be careful when dealing with this kind of person.

"Is this a good-looking girl, is that your woman?" asked Vidarulenes.

Lucy was stunned for a moment, her face turned red instantly, and she looked at Qin Xiu at a loss.

Qin Xiu frowned and looked at Vidarulenes silently, and began to secretly gather strength under his feet to prepare for a blow.

"Haha, little girl, do you want to know what it's like to be killed by someone you love?" said Vidarulense, looking at Lucy.

Lucy was shocked to hear Vidalulen's words, and she also felt uneasy in her heart, and looked at Qin Xiu in a daze.

"What nonsense are you talking about" Qin Xiu retorted to Vidalulenes, turning his head slightly to look at "Lucy, don't be fooled, and don't be fooled by the words in front of you"

"Oh, yes" Lucy nodded, her uneasiness slightly lowered.

"Then let me tell you, it's hell, haha" Vidarulenes laughed maniacally.

"There's a lot of nonsense, it's you who should go to hell," Qin Xiu said, his figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of Vidarulen, kicking Vidarulen.

Vidarulenes glanced at Qin Xiu, who appeared in front of him instantly, and was also shocked in his heart, "The intelligence also shows that this fire-shaped magician's physical skills are extremely strong, and they belong to the speed-type physical skills, I didn't expect the speed to be so fast, no wonder Lord Gerald wants to do this."

Vidarulens was kicked directly away by Qin Xiu, because Vidarulenes fell heavily into the slide because of the slide behind Vidalulens.

"It's too powerful, one hit will kill" Lucy couldn't help but clap her hands after seeing Qin Xiu kick Vidarulens.

Qin Xiu immediately retreated after kicking Vidarulenes, looked at Vidalulenes and asked, "What is Gerald's purpose?"

―――――――

"Although Qin Xiu came out late, he is the top in the entire magic world to fight with physical skills, although it is a little difficult to give you this task of Vidarulenes, but only you can do it, fortunately, the Star Spirit Envoy is by Qin Xiu's side, so there is a chance, Vidarulenes is yours" Gerald looked at the picture in the crystal ball and whispered, holding a flaming chess piece in his hand and shaking on the chessboard.

There are two pairs of centaurs facing each other on the board, with four pieces on one side and seven pieces on the other.

――――――――――

"Haha, you want to knock me down with this little injury?" Vidarulenes jumped up and looked at Qin Xiu and said.

"Really, then fight until you want to speak," Qin Xiu said, and the figure disappeared in place again.

"The same trick doesn't work," Vidarulenes said, his hair instantly lengthening after Qin Xiu's disappearance, weaving a net in front of the slide.

The next moment, Qin Xiu's figure appeared on the net made of hair, Qin Xiu's attack was blocked by the net, and after Qin Xiu saw that the attack was blocked, he turned around and jumped back.

"The reaction is very fast, assassinate the union, I will say that it is not so weak" Qin Xiu looked at Vidarulenes and said.

"Without such strength, how could I possibly be one of the three crows," Vidarulense said.

"However, you forgot one thing, I am a fire shape magician, how long your hair is, how much I burn" The magic array in Qin Xiu's hand flashed, and a ball of flame was thrown by Qin Xiu towards Vidalulen's hair.

When Vidarulens saw it, he immediately withdrew his hair, "Don't forget that I'm Vidarulense of the Three Crows, sonic boom" Vidarulens said as he swiped on his guitar, a piercing sound sounded, and the flames flying towards Vidarulens quickly dissipated into the air.

"I actually used sound waves to disperse the flames," Lucy looked at in surprise as she covered her ears.

"The noise is annoying," Qin Xiu said dissatisfiedly, and then his right hand with the flame and the left hand with the magic array quickly joined together, and a huge flame scythe flew towards Vidarulen.

"Sonic boom" Vidarulian shouted with the guitar in his hand again, and a low, even more piercing sound sounded than before, and the appearance of the fire scythe moon flying towards Vidarulens actually deformed, and then distorted and dissipated in the air.

"My ears hurt," Lucy cried as she clutched her ears.

Qin Xiu also covered his ears, looked at Lucy's painful appearance behind him, and shouted loudly, "Lucy, get out quickly" Unfortunately, because the low and harsh voice was still ringing, Lucy didn't hear it at all.

"We have to destroy his guitar, or Lucy's eardrums and I will be shattered," Qin Xiu thought to himself as he watched Vidarulense keep playing the guitar.

Qin Xiu began to burn flames around him, it was the flame of life, using the flames to restrain Vidarulians' hair, and his own physical skills could suppress Vidarulians so that he could not play the guitar, and then let Lucy leave for a while, and then let Lucy come back after he dealt with Vidalulens.

And Lucy covered her ears vigorously at this time, she was taken aback when she saw Qin Xiu start to use the flame of life, she also wanted to help Qin Xiu, but it was because of the noise of Vidalulence that she couldn't take out the key.

Qin Xiu rushed over directly, face-to-face Vidarulenes had no chance of winning against Qin Xiu, and he ranked last among the three crows in hand-to-hand combat, which is not to say that his physical skills are weak, but that his physical skills are completely weaker than Qin Xiu, the reason why he came to deal with Qin Xiu was Gerald's approach, he wanted to make this game interesting, and he was the only one who could do it, so he kept using noise to stop Qin Xiu's actions and wait for the opportunity.

"The opportunity has come," Vidarulenes said secretly in his heart as he looked at Qin Xiu who rushed over.

Vidalulenus stopped playing the guitar and quickly jumped down the slide, his hair also growing longer at this time, and attacked Qin Xiu, who was covered in the flames of life.

"What is he doing here" Qin Xiu looked at Vidarulen's movements and wondered in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lucy, who was standing not far away, and then looked at Vidalulen's movements, and suddenly discovered Vidalulen's purpose.

"Lucy, dodge quickly" Qin Xiu immediately shouted at Lucy, and at the same time turned around and rushed towards Lucy, but because of the instantaneous turn, his speed dropped a lot, so he had to throw a ball of fire at Vidarulenus's hair that was stretched out towards Lucy.

Lucy was startled when she saw Vidarulenes attacking her, her reaction was fast, as soon as Qin Xiu's shout sounded, Lucy's body flashed to the side, dodging Vidarulenes' hair stretched out to her.

Seeing that the blow was missed, Vidarulenes immediately withdrew his hair and returned to defend Qin Xiu, who was attacking him.

"It's really worthy of assassinating the union, the ability to do the black hand is really high" Qin Xiu looked at Vidarulenes coldly.

"It's over, we're assassinating the union, haha," Vidarulense laughed.

"Lucy, get out," Qin Xiu shouted at Lucy.

"However, I want to help you," Lucy said as she looked at Qin Xiu.

"Get out quickly, this person's noise will burst people's eardrums, you will come back after I deal with him," Qin Xiu said.

"Hmm" Lucy nodded, and immediately ran out.

Qin Xiu looked at Vidalulenes after seeing Lucy running out, "Although I don't know what you want to do, you will definitely take Lucy as a hostage, I'm right?"

"Great, I found out my purpose in such a short time," Vidarulenes said.

"But do you think that little girl will be able to get out?" said Vidarulense, pointing in the direction Lucy had left.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction where Lucy left, and then several guards escorted Lucy to appear in front of Qin Xiu's eyes.

"What......" Qin Xiu was taken aback.

"Ah Xiu, there are guards out there in ambush, and I was caught as soon as I got out," Lucy said.

"Damn" Qin Xiu looked at Vidarulenes angrily,

"You'd better not move, or the little girl's life will be over," Vidarulenes said, pointing at Lucy.

"Haha, what do you think now, haha, now you're going to be my captive, Hell Dream Demon, the Hell Dream Demon who makes people completely puppets, haha" Vidarulense burst out laughing, holding his guitar and playing it again.

A feeling of uneasiness sounded in Qin Xiu's heart, and with the sound of Vidarulen's playing, Qin Xiu felt that his body was beginning to lose control.

When he was conscious, a pitch-black fire spirit appeared in the palm of his hand, and the emerald green flame of life on Qin Xiu's body began to turn black, and finally a thick black flame surrounded Qin Xiu, at this time, Qin Xiu's figure was submerged in the black flame, and Qin Xiu could not be seen at all, only a humanoid flame stood there.

"Haha, it worked, little girl, do you remember what I said at first?" Vidarulenes laughed as he looked at Lucy.

"What happened to Ah Xiu?" asked Lucy worriedly as she looked at Qin Xiu who was drowning in black flames.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's in control," Vidarulense laughed maniacally.

"Now, little girl, you can experience the pain of dying at the hands of your loved ones, this is the feeling of hell, haha" Vidarulenes laughed wildly, kept shaking his hair and dancing in circles, and played the guitar again, as the guitar played, Qin Xiu, who was in the black flames, instantly disappeared in place and appeared in front of Lucy.

There was a "bump" sound, and several of the guards who grabbed Lucy flew towards the wall, their bodies burning into black flames.

"Ah, help," the guard cried out in horror, flapping the black flames on his body, but as they flapped, they grew bigger and bigger, eventually engulfing the entire bodies of several guards.

Gradually, the flames faded, and the figure of the guard disappeared into the flames.

Lucy looked at this scene in shock, and Vidarulenes frowned, "Is it not controlled enough, and there is still a subconscious? Then increase the intensity, haha" said and increased the intensity of the guitar.

"Ah Xiu...... What's wrong with you?" asked Lucy as she looked at Qin Xiu, who was covered in black flames.

Qin Xiu didn't say a word in the black flames, just stood in front of Lucy, not knowing what to do.

"Kill her, quick, Qin Xiu, kill her," Vidarulenes shouted loudly, playing his guitar.

A hand reached out in the black flames and grabbed Lucy's neck, and Lucy looked at the hand that grabbed her neck in a daze, and then she understood what Vidarulenes had said.

"Ah Xiu, wake up, I'm Lucy," Lucy shouted at Qin Xiu in the black flames.

But the hand holding Lucy's neck made the strength grow, and Lucy felt more and more uncomfortable.

"It's not you, right, wake up quickly" Lucy looked at Qin Xiu painfully and said.

"Yes, that's it, strangle her, haha, little girl, how does it feel, do you taste hell?" Haha" Vidarulense shouted with a wild laugh.

"No, Ah Xiu won't do this to me, he was just accidentally controlled by you, and when he wakes up, it will be you who will die" Lucy said bitterly.

"You're still worried about yourself, it's hard to breathe, haha" Vidarulenes laughed maniacally.

"Ah Xiu, speak, don't you remember me, don't you remember Sister Mira, and Natsu, Gray, Elusa, Harpy, ......" Lucy's voice began to become hoarse because she was choked by Qin Xiu's neck.

"Even if you don't remember us, you should remember yourself, your name," Lucy cried, "I know everything about you from Sister Mira, just remember your name so that you don't lose your memory," Lucy thought to herself.

As Lucy shouted out her name that she should remember, the hand that was holding Lucy's neck loosened.

Lucy fell to the ground and coughed uncomfortably.

"What?" Vidarulense looked at in surprise as he let go of Lucy's hand.

"Ahem, I know, ahem, Axiu, you won't forget yourself" Lucy smiled and looked at Qin Xiu, who was covered in black flames, and said.

"Impossible, once you become a complete Hell Dream Demon, you will only be an obedient puppet, Qin Xiu will kill her" Vidarulenes shouted loudly, playing an even harsher voice than just now.

"Qin Xiu" stood still for a few seconds, and the next moment he lifted Lucy up again and pulled her into the black flame, and the black flame suddenly became even bigger.

After only two or three seconds, a figure was pushed out and fell heavily to the ground, covered in black flames, from the white hand exposed in the flames, it can be seen that it is a woman's hand, and the person who fell to the ground is Lucy, Lucy is motionless and does not know whether it is dead or alive.

"Haha, this is delusional, let's go, my puppet, go to Gerald's and wait for the appearance of the fire dragon, haha" Vidarulenes laughed and walked up the slide that had just slipped down, "Qin Xiu" followed, disappearing into this small hall, leaving only Lucy who fell to the ground and burned with black flames on her body.

――――――――――――

"Very good, this time the shape of the fire is on my side, but what is this black flame? I remember that only one flame is black, which is a little strange......" Gerald said as he looked at the picture of "Qin Xiu" disappearing into the small hall in the magic crystal.

"Simon, you're really useless, the Star Spirit Envoy has fallen, the shape of the fire is on my side, the situation is developing well, but unfortunately, there are still some problems over there," Gerald whispered, casually closing the screen of the magic crystal and turning it to the other side.

At this moment, in the small hall, the flames on Lucy's body that fell to the ground disappeared, revealing Lucy unscathed, and Lucy slowly got up from the ground and wiped her lips.

"Really, you don't have to apologize like that," Lucy whispered, blushing.

"Be careful, Axiu," Lucy whispered as she looked down the slide.

――――――――――――

Somewhere in the Tower of Paradise.

Gray looked at the fire spirit in his hand in surprise, "Why can't you feel it, what's going on?"

"What's the matter, Lord Gray," asked Jubia.

"The fire elf suddenly couldn't sense Ah Xiu, it seems that something happened over there," Gray said.

"Uh" Jubia was stunned.

"By the way, Jubia, hurry up and go to Ashu's side, take this fire spirit, this can faintly sense a location, it may be Lucy, you go and see the situation, I'm going to recover Elusa" Gray looked at Jubia and said.

"But......" Jubia hesitated.

"Go," Gray roared.

"Well, I'll go right away," Jubia was startled, picked up the fire elf and immediately ran back.

Gray saw Jubia running back and then up again, but a figure behind Gray appeared as Jubia running back.

"Jubia wants to protect Lord Gray, and the fire elves can already feel Mr. Ashu's magic, so Jubia won't go" Jubia looked at Gray's figure and whispered, and then quietly followed.

It didn't take long for Gray to hear the sound of a fight, and immediately ran towards the source of the sound, followed by a figure hiding behind him.
