On July 7th, the city of Fiore was like the end of the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

An eerie and twisted island, with the help of a powerful internal magic source, floated directly above the royal city, like a planet blocking the moon on the heavenly dome, and almost half of the entire royal city was shrouded in shadows, and a terrifying atmosphere suppressed the ordinary residents here.

Looking out over the island from the wide balcony of the palace, you could feel the evil magic it exuded, even though it was far away.

Lucy, the Star Wizard, pressed her hands against the cold railing, her eyes restlessly staring at the island. In addition to the members of Fairy Tail's Mebis and Makarov, she also has the Speaker of the Council of Magic, Ghuran Dorma, and the rescued king, Minister Dutton, and the head of the Knights, Arkadios.

The palace is also in chaos, and the king is trying to maintain order here, and he has ordered all the guards of the kingdom to cooperate with the Magus of the Magic Council to evacuate the nobles and commoners beyond the royal city.

Dutton and Arcadios hoped that the king would also be able to leave the royal city with the commoners and nobles. But the king refused this, and made a bold statement: "I, as a king, will not leave this place until all the civilians have left, and until the soldiers who have guarded the safety of the kingdom here have not retreated." It was my gaffe that caused things to get out of hand, and I definitely have to take the responsibility of a king!"

Like him, those who asked to stay in the royal city were the magicians of those guilds, except for the kingdom's army and the members of the Magic Council. Fairy Tail, Snake Scales, Teal Pegasus, Sword Bite Tiger, and more all remained in the royal city, ready to follow the orders of the Magic Council.

While Dutton and Arcadios were still blaming themselves for failing to protect the king and princess, Lucy was more concerned about the current situation, and she asked, "What the hell is going on with that island, why can it float in the air like the floating island of Adras?

"It's the 'Island of the Underworld', the mobile fortress of the Gates of Hades, an airship that resembles a demon's heart. The Speaker of the Council of Magic, Gülen, stroked the long white beard on his chin and answered the young girl's question. "As for your guild's wizard Gray, and my two capable subordinates, they are safe now, and they are being treated. ”

"Speaker Gouran, I don't understand, what the Gates of Hades are planning the Eclipse Project for?" Makarov asked, standing aside, his eyebrows twisted into confusion, "They have even driven their base over the royal city now. Where did they get so much confidence to dare to use the power of a guild against the entire Bright Magical Realm? Now there are almost the elites of the entire Fiore Wizard gathered here......

Mebis was next to Makarov, and she actually asked the question, but Speaker Guran couldn't see her, let alone hear her, so Makarov had to ask on his behalf.

"I don't understand, Makarov. Speaker Güran said solemnly, "Maybe it's to better retreat, right? God knows what's going on in the minds of these dark mages? As you said, there are already the elite of the Light Mages here, and they don't have any chance of winning at all." I'm not worried about the gates of Hades, I'm worried about something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's Dark Mage Jelf. The Speaker said, "The Gates of Hades are known as 'Jelf's Bookshelves,' and in fact their members are all demons created by Jelf. Since the demons of the Dark Wizard have caused a riot here, shouldn't that Dark Wizard be in the vicinity of this place as well?"

Makarov noticed that Mebis's face was a little pale, but the speaker was here, and he couldn't ask directly.

"Besides, the atmosphere here, the scene here, is too much to match......" said the Speaker, looking at the mountains in the distance, "to be honest, I don't worry about the demons of the Gates of Hades. I'm more worried that these demons are at war with our magicians, and that the clash of light and dark magic will draw another of our old enemies here as well - maybe that's the idea that the Gates of Hades are fighting to destroy us. ”

"Do you mean, Akunolokia, the black dragon?" asked Makarov, hesitantly.

"That's right...... It's always drawn to this aura, just like what happened to you on Sirius seven years ago, and I don't think anyone here knows how terrifying it is better than you, right? Maybe there's a Jelf here...... Oh my God, this morning I was still dealing with one tedious chorre after another, lamenting the boredom of life, but in the evening, it seems that everything has changed, and we are about to face this apocalyptic situation in the blink of an eye!"

The wizards of Fairy Tail couldn't help but tremble a little when they heard that the black dragon was about to appear, especially those in the Sky Wolf Group, and the roar of the dragon at that time was still vivid.

"Humans have never won a single battle against the Black Wizard Gerf and the Black Dragon Akuno Lokia. I'm already ordering the whole country to come here and let our men evacuate the civilians here, Makarov, and we're in a race against time. We must now deal with the Gate of Hades, then the Dark Wizard Gerf, and finally the Black Dragon Akunolokia, and complete this series of almost impossible things before it is possible to protect this kingdom, and we don't even have a chance to refuse or escape. ”

The Speaker, who was still secretly annoyed that the King had secretly carried out such a dangerous act as opening the Eclipse Gate without the Magical Council, and that he had to show a certain level of respect and respect in front of the King, was now truly speaking in a roaring tone.

"Makarov, you know what, whether we can see the sun tomorrow or not depends on the battle this night. ”

The island of the underworld rumbled like thunder at this moment, and then they could see a red light ricocheting out of the island and falling to the ground, and then, the burst of flames instantly engulfed the buildings in that area. Immediately afterward, more and more of this light fell, destroying every corner of the city, trying to turn it into a sea of fire.

The Wizard Knights of the Wizarding Council of the Wizards were already in place, and with the help of the Flying Magic Array, they were already very close to the Underworld Island. However, at this time, the island of the underworld also released its guards, a group of fanatical believers in the Gates of Hades, now half-human, half-demon, mostly like Satan, with wings on their backs, two horns on their heads, hideous faces, and tridents in their hands. They screamed and made noise, and pounced on the Sky Wizard Knights.

After Speaker Quran uttered those shocking words, the wizard of Fairy Tail saw such a confrontation scene again, and his heart was mixed. It was not until the Speaker, after consulting with the king, gave the final order, that they reacted.

"Now the magicians in the royal city, don't spare any of your magic power and defeat any of the followers of the Gates of the Underworld that you can see!

At this time, Fuko and Elusa were already on the underworld island high in the sky. The island is made up of countless human organs, giving people a disgusting feeling.

They eventually followed the advice of the Dark Wizard Jelf, and although it was not known what the purpose of this guy was, his information was supposed to be true. They had killed a dozen followers of the Gate of Hades on the periphery before breaking in.

As for the Emerald Princess, they gave her over to the protection of a passing group of wizards from the Council of Magic.

"Very well, now it's just a matter of finding the entrance here. After a long absence, Fu Kou drew his sword of blasphemy, which was still stained with the black blood of a half-human, half-demon.

Elusa had already drawn her sword and slashed at the wall here, opening a gap. Then she turned around and asked, "What? I didn't hear what you just said." ”

"Hmm...... Nothing, let's go inside. ”

The two of them burrowed into the cavities of the dark island of the underworld, where the passages resembled the bowels of humans. Soon, they encountered their first obstacle here - a group of strangely shaped monsters that seemed to be transplanted together as parts of various animals, no smaller than the demons in the Demon Temple, appeared.

"I've always wanted to fight a dozen monsters in the Demon Temple, and now I have a chance. Elusa glanced eagerly at Fuko, a defiant look in her eyes.

"Your competitive spirit is really the strongest I've ever met, and Natsu is much better than you. Fu Ko reluctantly agreed to the challenge of her eyes.

The two of them fought with this group of monsters in the middle of the cavity. However, the "fight" is not accurate, it is just a one-sided massacre. They almost just keep swinging their swords, and when they retract their swords, at least one monster will fall to the ground. These monsters don't give them any wounds, they just delay their progress.

"Go this way. ”

After dealing with another group of monsters, Fuko pointed out the direction they should take to Elusa.

At this time, the island of the underworld shook, and it seemed that its outer layer was already being bombarded by the magic of the Light Magi, but its outer layer was too solid to break through for a while. If it weren't for the lack of time to prepare, the Council would have been able to blast through here with their magic cannon.

They walked to a much larger space. It's a vast place with countless white eggs. They were able to see the name on the nameplate underneath each egg. All of them repeat the names of the demons of the Nine Ghost Gates.

They glanced at each other and knew that this was the "bookshelf" that Jelf was talking about. Alusa tentatively chopped an egg in half with a long sword, and the green juice flowed to the ground. However, in its original position, a new egg grew again, growing larger and larger like a balloon until it became the size of the previous one.

Elusa shook her head helplessly at Fuko, and said, "Looks like we really need to find the 'Book of Demons', maybe it's somewhere right around here. If we can't destroy it, then even if we destroy the island of the underworld, the gate of Hades can be reborn elsewhere and come back to us. ”

Fuko, on the other hand, noticed that the two eggs with the words "Xingliten, Wild Flower" and "Cool Moon, Serra" broke before they arrived.

Before he could alert Elusa, he heard the voice of Aphrodite, who had not been seen for a long time. To be honest, he didn't really want to hear her at this time, and when she had to say something to him, something not so good would always happen.

Sure enough, Aphrodite brought him bad news.

"The game ending quest has been triggered. Players are asked to clear the level. From now on, War Maps will turn off on its own and will not be able to be opened, and you will not be prompted in any way. You'll need to rely on all the abilities and item data you have, as well as your own brain and willpower, to get through this difficulty. There is only one chance to pass the ending of the game, so find the true way to the ending, otherwise you will face defeat, all your existing data will be erased, and you will lose the memory of this period of time, and go back to the beginning of the game and start over. ”

Fuko took a look, and the [War Map] was closed. In this way, he has no way to know important information in advance.

He didn't expect that he would be facing the end of the game now, and if it weren't for Aphrodite's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that the system set this place as a game world. And the "true ending route" is quite concerned about him, and the punishment of failure also makes it difficult for him to accept.

There is no way back for him except to clear the customs.
