Chapter Eighty-Five: The Cradle of the Fairies (3) - The Demon King of the Stars

(...... "Sirius Island"?! )

With the exception of Lucy, a newcomer, all of the members of Demon Tail were familiar with the name that represented their guild's holy land.

But isn't Sirius Island a small island located off the coast of Harugion, how could it be in the forest?!

looked in the direction where the voice came from with questions, but the figure that appeared made everyone hold their breath.

It's not just the huge dark aura that the other party exudes, but also because of the inhuman posture.

“…… Black ...... Angel? ”

Transforming the existence seen in her eyes into the most intuitive language, Lucy, who was still in a state of shock, unconsciously let out a voice of surprise.

In front of the body of the huge ancient tree, a black-winged girl sitting in the air with a ribbon wrapped around her head was flipping through the star-colored book in her hand.

……

(Eight people...... Is Elusa and Gray missing...... )

Closing the "Star Codex", Zela, who was hiding her identity in the state of the demon king of "Star Spiritization", glanced at the people below, and quickly judged how Erin was 'assigned'.

No wonder they all support this 'trial plan' so much, it seems that she is not the only one who wants to take this opportunity to make a 'break'.

It's just that Kildas has seen her normal, and she has used the receiving state of 'elfism' many times in this world, in order to avoid the possibility of exposing her identity in advance and disrupting the 'script', Zela chose this appearance that basically no one knows in front of them.

"Enemy?! You did it! Where are Gray and Elusa?! ”

Natsu stared murderously at the girl in the sky, although he always quarreled with Gray and was afraid of Elusa's 'education', but deep down he had long regarded the two as important family members.

Now that his family is gone, he certainly won't swallow his anger.

(Natsu...... The little ghost at that time has grown up now...... Handing it over to Makarov was the right choice...... )

Ignoring the hostility that sparked on her face, Zela, who remembered the chance encounter seven years ago, showed a slightly nostalgic smile, although according to the time of her birth, she should be more than a hundred years old in this life, but if it was at the flow rate of the 'Star Spirit Realm', she was actually only in her twenties.

However, the time that has passed inadvertently is enough for many things to change.

"That guy ——!"

Seeing that the other party not only did not answer, but also looked 'mocking', Nazdang, who was worried about his companion, was ready to call Harpy to take him to fly up and talk with his fists.

And he always felt as if he had smelled this winged guy somewhere.

“…… Wait, Natsu. ”

Holding down an impulsive cherry-haired head, Kildas finally confirmed that the magic emanating from the huge ancient tree not far away was the same as the Sirius Tree in his memory.

In other words, what the mysterious black-winged angel said was true.

(…… Is it the cause of that white light just now?! )

After stopping Natsu, Kildas, who deduced some of the effects of "Universe one", immediately came up with more questions in his mind.

Unleashed that kind of world-class magic to transfer the 'Sirius Island' from the sea to the land, he didn't believe that the other party was doing it just for fun, there must be some purpose.

Helplessly putting the growing sense of discord to the back of his mind for the time being, this orange-haired, big-backed super S-class magician focused all his attention on the 'inhuman' in front of him.

Such a pure power of darkness, he had the impression that there was only one existence like this.

“…… You are the "demon" of the "Book of Jelf". ”

“——!”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

As long as it is related to Jelf, the dark magician, it is a symbol of horror and disaster, not to mention the "demon" he created.

“…… Could it be that Elusa's mother was controlled by this girl!? ”

With a fantasy-loving brain, Lucy quickly made up a lot of details in her brain.

What's even more interesting is that this conclusion also seems to be endorsed by most of his peers.

However, Kildas didn't think that a strong man with that kind of strength would have a weak mind to be easily controlled, which was one of the problems he couldn't figure out.

(Damn!) There is too little intelligence! Old man...... What the hell are you thinking?! )

Asked him to bring a group of new generation seedlings to face a 'demon' of unfathomable strength, Kildas felt that the whole thing was getting more and more weird.

……

(…… Really, do you think I'm a 'demon' again? )

This is not the first time that Zela has been misidentified, perhaps in the perception of normal people, 'inhuman darkness' will be equated with 'demons'.

However, the star-spirited girl did not deny it, because in this way, it also saved her the trouble of making up stories.

If you crusade against her as a 'demon', maybe you can bring out the potential of these young people even more.

She still has a lot of time before the 'real guest' arrives.

(Let me see, then...... Have you grown since you were without the barriers...... )

Fluttering her wings and landing in front of Natsu, the Star Spirit Maiden who has become the Demon King will give the young Fairy a final test to the future.

- The sea off "Harugion", the original sea area of "Sirius Island".

"Franmars, haven't you found the location of the 'Sirius Island'?"

In the central control room inside an island that resembles a cube, the leader of the "Nine Ghost Gates" of the "Gate of Hades", the "Xinglitian" Crazy Hua asked his cadre members again with some impatience.

Originally, they had already seen the target, but who knew that after a strange burst of white light, the island that was not far away actually disappeared?!

"Oops...... According to the information provided by our new companions, it should be in this area, and there is no defensive magic array...... How much is it worth wasting so much time? How much is it worth? ”

Troubledly squeezing his one-eyed, chubby demon, Lambmars Browns chattered and repeated his own weird grin.

"Don't bother! Hurry up and find out! ”

“…… We had no choice but to use the 'Ancient Documents' given to us by our 'partners' to locate us. ”

In the face of Wild's repeated urgings, Franmars had no choice but to tap on the virtual magic array and unfold the spherical map of the continent.

"Search for the island with the Tree of Magic...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Seeing that his companion began to reposition, Madhua had no choice but to be patient and looked at the smiling man standing not far away.

In order to fill the last vacancy in the "Nine Ghost Gate", the "Hades", who hates humans, makes an exception and agrees to Madhua's proposal to transform this human traitor into a demon.

“…… Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your intelligence? ”

"Of course, Lord Wildflower."

"As long as we have 'that magic power', we will definitely be able to resurrect President 'END' and return to Lord Jelf's command."

His eyes are filled with dark evil energy, and Ivan, who has been transformed into a demon, stretches out his evil hand to his former home.

“…… Got it! It's actually here! How much is this information worth? How much is it worth? Hee-hee-hee! ”

The fanged and clawed demon began to move forward under the desire of ambition.

The gates of Hades are opened.
