On the night of the second day of the Grand Demon Fight, Fuko infiltrated the palace where the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For him, the dense guards and complex enchantments of the palace were almost non-existent. He traveled unhindered, often passing by the guards in the palace when he was invisible. It's easy for him to become invisible now, because after seven years, he's mastered all of the hero modes, including several of the invisible and stealthy magic.

Unfortunately, there haven't been any events over the years that have provided as much XP as the year he first used the system, and his leveling rate has dropped a lot compared to his first year, resulting in his current level only being 86 - if he had been at a normal rate, he would have already reached level 100. Still, such a rapid ascension rate is shocking enough.

In the four years since the system was restored, he has become more self-motivated, ignoring all the tasks given by the system, and he will often violate the tasks of the system unless he has the will to do it himself. He's been haunted by the fact that the system cut off all help to him at a critical moment seven years ago.

For the first three years, he was not as depressed as he had imagined, and because he had always had the goal of revenge on the black dragon, he became more diligent in practicing magic - his origin magic "telekinesis". Having been betrayed once, he knows that the power given by the system is unreliable, and it can cancel everything given to him at any time. If he really wants to be strong, he needs to make himself strong.

In the fourth year, Aphrodite reappeared in his mind, and he did not blame or be angry with her. First of all, she is nothing more than an artificial intelligence, and she is also subject to other people. Secondly, he felt that anger should not be such a cheap thing, anger should be given to those who want to oppress themselves by force, and Aphrodite is more like an object of oppression.

Aphrodite was still the same Aphrodite, and she diligently asked him what kind of help he needed at the first time she appeared. Of course, he wanted his power back, and then he began to carry out his long-planned plan to rob the prison with Urrutia and Melti.

In the end, they succeeded in kidnapping the "Poison Dragon Slayer" Eric, "Laser" Lisa, "Hot Eye" Richard, and "Angel" Kuno, and spent a lot of effort to find the "Arc of Manifestation" Rastiros and the "Ugly Time Descends" Huayuan, hoping that they can form a team with them with the goal of hunting the black dragon.

Of course, there is no way that this group of dark magicians will agree to serve Fukou and do something that is dangerous and has little to do with them. So, Fuko made full use of his lobbying skills, helped them analyze their current situation, and made it clear to them that the only way to survive was to follow themselves. After achieving the first step of getting them to follow him, he continued to strengthen himself, let them understand the gap between them and him, and further make them clear about the value of following him......

All in all, it took a lot of effort for Fuko to polish the team into what it is now, semi-forcing them to work for themselves. This time, he had a premonition that he might need their help, so he asked Urrutia and Melty to contact them and summon them all to the royal capital, while he himself came to the royal palace.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Fuko has visited such a special place as the palace.

In the world of Edrath, he had broken into the palace of the Kingdom of Edras, and Fiore's palace was more difficult to enter than Edrath, but as mentioned before, these defenses were useless to him.

The purpose of his visit to the palace was also clear, he did not intend to wander around this place, but wanted to confirm the location of the "Eclipse Gate".

To find out where it is, he has to find a member of the royal family such as a king or princess, or a high-ranking minister or general...... He didn't expect that in addition to the king, he would meet the three identities of princess, minister, and general......

After briefly confirming the contents of the plan for the "Eclipse Gate" from their exchanges, Fuko came out of the palace. From the beginning to the end, no one noticed his presence.

Fu Ko estimated that if he wanted to destroy their plan, he only needed to destroy the core "Eclipse Gate". But there are four troublesome things:

First, he still didn't know the exact location of the Eclipse Gate, and none of the three had the desire to go to the Eclipse Gate. He could have jumped out and threatened them to lead the way, but once he was remembered, he might end up on the wanted list of the Fiore Kingdom.

Second, it seems that there is more than one plan for the "Eclipse Gate", that is, they are likely to choose different options according to the different circumstances of the time.

Thirdly, the princess of the kingdom of Fiore, a young girl with long hair as bright as emeralds, when she is alone, talks to herself, in addition to the content of the plan, she also mentions a mysterious person, and always replaces it with "that person".

Fourth, the "Eclipse Gate" requires a lot of magic power to open, and the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts is a competition held to collect a large amount of magic power, and the remaining magic power of the magic used by the magicians in the arena will be absorbed and become the nutrients of the "Eclipse Gate". In other words, when this time the Great Demon Fighting Exercise is over, the "Eclipse Gate" can basically be opened.

Now things have two directions: he can safely disrupt the game tomorrow and make the "Eclipse Gate" unable to launch, but this will not prevent the Fiore royal family from secretly carrying out this plan in the future. He could also wait for the "Eclipse Gate" to appear once and for all, and then completely destroy it, cutting off all future possibilities, but at the risk of potentially releasing 10,000 dragons.

The reason why the Fiore royal family wants to open the "Eclipse Gate" seems to be because of the extreme fear of the Dark Mage Jerf, fearing that he will threaten their rule, so they hope to return to the era when Jelf was not strong through the "Eclipse Gate", kill him, and no matter how many serial "butterfly effects" this will cause......

Fuko used to watch a lot of movies, and he was completely indifferent to this kind of person who seemed to have a great direction, but did something "dead". He could almost use his toes to imagine what the group was thinking with great interest, and how surprised they would be at releasing ten thousand dragons after successfully opening the gate, and paying for their stupidity......

After thinking about it for a long time, he still chose the second direction, destroying the "Eclipse Gate" at one time. The members of the "Black Dragon Hunters" would probably arrive at the royal capital on the night of the end of the Great Demon Fight, and with this group of combat power, he was still very confident that he would be able to carry out the destruction plan.

Upon returning to the hotel, Fuko discovers that the future Lucy, Urrutia, and Melti have all gone to sleep with the lights off. Instead of waking them up in the wee hours of the morning, he returned to his room and began to revise his original plan.

Finally, at sunrise, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the table.

The third day of the Great Demon Martial Arts began on time.

The Pumpkin Head host announced that the theme of this time was "Demon Palace". Listening to this theme, the major guilds felt a little tricky, and they sent out their own guild players.

Serpent's Scale once again sent out the Holy Ten Gura, Mermaid's Heel sent out Miriana, who was familiar to Elusa - she didn't expect her to join Mermaid's Heel, Cyan Pegasus sent Hibi, and Raven's Tail sent out the strangely dressed and long-nosed Obla.

Because of the defeat on the second day, the alternate Elfman Hand of Fairy Tail, the "Four Hounds", kept their promise and changed the name of the guild to "Four Little Dogs", and this time they sent a weak-looking man, Nobari.

The most striking of all, the Sword Biting Tiger, this time sent Oruga Nanagir again. From time to time, the strong man turned his gaze on Gura, as if to compete with one of them.

It's Fairy Tail's turn to send a candidate. Makarov paced back and forth in the audience, rejecting the invitations of several members of the A and B teams, muttering something to himself.

"What are you worried about? Makarov? Mebis floated past him and asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Although we won two matchups in yesterday's duel, we were still at the bottom of the rankings, and this time Serpent Scales sent out Gura...... If we still lose the competitive part today, it will be difficult for us to turn around until the fourth or fifth day...... No, today I have to play with the two guys I think are the most secure winners. ”

He hammered the wall and made up his mind.

Mebis raised an eyebrow, already guessing who he was going to send.

Subsequently, the pumpkin host received a notice and announced to the audience who were still immersed in the warm atmosphere that Fairy Tail A and B teams were going to send two players: Elusa of Fairy Tail Team A, and Fukou, an alternate player of Fairy Tail Team B.

When the name Fuko came out, the audience didn't react much, because they didn't remember much about him, but guilds such as Snake Hime's Scale and the Teal Pegasus exploded, and they never expected that the "Encyclopedia", which had not been heard from for a long time, would be nominated to play at this time.

Gura, who had a deep friendship with Fuko back then, laughed even more exaggeratedly, and he seemed to be the only one who guessed that Fairy Tail would send Fuko.

The big-faced host was a little puzzled by Gula's performance, and reluctantly said: "Haha...... Mr. 'Holy Ten' Gula seems to be very confident in winning the game......"

Yajma, a guest next to him, explained the deeper reason: "He's not happy about this, he's happy that his friend is back, right?" I know that Gura and Fuko are very familiar...... It's really nostalgic, is that kid going to appear after seven years? ”

The big-faced host just laughed a few times, a little unimpressed.

The reaction on the Fairy Tail side was just as violent. The members of teams A and B, with the exception of Elusa, who had already played, all flocked to Makarov's side to ask what was going on.

Miraj was the first to ask the question they wanted to know in a trembling tone: "Have you found Fuko, President?" Where is he? "At this time, she can't maintain the image of a lady.

"Hmm...... Where is it? Makarov looked around and said, "It should be around here, probably there, or here." ”

"President! Please don't be so bad-hearted! Please tell me. ”

"Uh...... Even if you say that, I don't know exactly where he is...... He's supposed to be here to watch. ”

Mebis broke his thoughts and said, "Then Makarov, you want to use the pressure on the scene to force him out, right?" Are you so sure he must be there? What if he was just watching the game in front of a projector thousands of miles away? He doesn't have to make it. ”

"Ah...... This one...... It's also possible. Makarov touched the back of his bare head a little shyly in front of Mebius.

"Really, President! How can you tease us like that? Miraj, who figured out the situation, couldn't help but be very unhappy, and the rest of the Fairy Tail magicians were also confused.

Makarov was embarrassed, and the pumpkin host said something at this time, which stimulated them even more:

"Isn't Fairy Tail Team B's alternate Fukou still playing? According to the rules, if he doesn't play again, he will be disqualified! ”

Makarov: They are all in a hurry, what if he is really not there?

Compared to them, Elusa, who was waiting on the field, was very calm. She first greeted Miliana, Gula, and other acquaintances, and then stood quietly to the side, waiting for the game to begin. She knew she had an important mission ahead of her, and this time she had to win the game.

As for Fuko...... She's also waiting.

On the other hand, as Mebis had guessed, Fuko was not there, and he woke up to a knock on Urrutia's door to find himself asleep at his desk for hours. He cleaned up sleepily and opened the door.

Urrutia was dressed up, and she came with Melty and Lucy, and brought him breakfast, and by the way, she was going to ask about the results of last night.
