"Oh......"

In the proving ground reconstructed by Universe One, Erin's face showed a little admiration as she spun her scepter to receive Elusa's continuous costume change attacks. Ｘ

Compared with the time of 'running away from home', now that it is recognized by the public, the girl who has the reputation of the fairy queen has indeed grown a lot.

It's just that, but it's not enough to meet Erin's 'ideals'.

“…… It's great to be able to master so many attributes at the same time, but ......"

"Is this all you need to be conscious and persistent?"

"Humph!"

Gritting her teeth unwillingly, Elusa knew that her mother was strong.

She had heard the more mysterious leader girl mention that in terms of the Ishgar Continent alone, Erin was also a powerhouse that could be ranked in the top three.

At that time, Elusa didn't understand what this concept was, but now, she can fully feel the gap.

If you go on like this, you won't be able to get an 'answer'.

Moreover, she was also worried about her companions who had been transferred.

(How do you ......?!) ）

It's just that just when Elusa was anxious and couldn't break through Erin's defense, the other party stopped his movements with a surprised face.

Resting her hand in front of her forehead as if she were communicating with someone, Erin looked up at the sky.

At the same time, Urrutia, who stubbornly put aside the arc of time, competed with the Gray brothers with her unskilled ice shape magic, and Brantish, who faced the fierce battle of the Gula's allied forces overnight, also sensed that something was wrong.

The strange island-shaped cube flew over the sea of wassaki, casting countless black dots.

An army from Hades is about to dye this proving ground with the color of demons!

……

“…… That ambiguous answer is the matter, I don't remember taking anything from you. ”

Maintaining an indifferent tone, Zela simply denied the black-haired boy's false claims.

You must know that Jelf's things are either the Book of Demons or the Dark Arts, and these things that Zela avoids are all destroyed easily, so how can he 'steal' them.

You say that you are an emperor of the Western Continent and don't stay well in your own territory to play the so-called 'king game', and you have to keep wandering in the land of the enemy country.

Coupled with the fact that the sleeping Mebis was protected by her in the astral realm, there was no longer the heart of a fairy worthy of the coveted by the Dark Mage in this world.

"Hmm...... Is it...... But...... It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not...... Anyway......"

His expression fell silent, and the black-haired boy with a gleam in his eyes babbled words that made people inexplicable.

At Jelf's bizarre performance, Zela frowned again.

It stands to reason that the last time we met, this teenager with the curse of contradiction was still full of confusion, and he was not as aggressive as he is now.

Or was it because of Zela's early defeat of Akunorolia? This possibility is not out of the question......

There were too many violations, which made the scene eerily quiet for a while.

Both Zela and Jelf seemed to be immersed in their own thoughts.

……

"Ahh Enough is enough!! Who the hell are you!! Let's make it clear! ”

“！”

A manic roar disrupted the flow of air, and Natsu, unable to stand the atmosphere, rushed out.

He felt that this battle was too embarrassing, not to mention that a random person running out here seemed to be very powerful, and what was even more strange was that until now, they couldn't even confirm whether they were friends or foes.

It was so uncomfortable for him!

（…… This guy is still the same...... ）

sighed with emotion, now that the 'trial' could not continue, there was really no need to hide it from them.

Zela also knew that her appearance was not convincing, so she simply switched to the most direct method.

Stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers, the black magic silk turned into starlight and dispersed, and the brown-haired girl, who was two years younger than the image of Black Wing just now, appeared in front of everyone.

“……？”

“？！”

"Ahhh!!!hhh

As Zela returned to her original form, the three people who had seen her identity screamed with wide eyes.

"Mommy's friend?!"

"The smell...... I remember!! You were the flame girl of that time!! ”

"The first generation?!"

Lucy remembered visiting her mother's friend, Natsu remembered the fear of being dominated by the iron fist of fire as a child, and the mysterious first president of the Apocalypse Black Dragon that Kildas had seen not long ago, and all the dots and threads converged on the girl in front of them at this moment.

"That makes sense, right?"

Holding out her left hand, she showed the same coat of arms on the back of her hand, and Zela smiled.

“………………………………”

"Understand!!!

Regarding the girl's attitude of trying to fool around, several people roared in unison.

Isn't that simply not saying anything?!

“…… Ahaha...... I see, I'll explain it later......"

Pushing his hands to calm down Natsu, who came closer, Zela, who knew that it was his own bad smile, made a promise with a wry smile.

But it's also because now is not the time to laugh and have a good chat.

When Natsu's shouts resounded through the audience, it wasn't just Zela who 'woke up'.

“…… Natsu ...... Natsu ...... Woo......! ”

Clutching his head in pain, the breath on Jelf's body became unstable again.

The deep dark aura rose higher and higher, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.

(What's going on?!) ）

Waving to stop her agitated companion, Zela was now sure that something had changed in Jeelf that she didn't know existed.

Even if Natsu was his resurrected younger brother, with four hundred years of waiting and accumulation, his mood would not fluctuate so strangely.

Fortunately, when this breath was about to climb, at an angle that Zela could not see, Jelf's eyes flashed red again, stabilizing the fluctuations on his body.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Panting and taking a step forward, the black-haired boy who had managed to suppress something straightened up again.

On the face that could not be seen clearly, the originally dark pupils had turned red.

（…… ）

(This feeling of oppression...... Don't...... ）

Now Jelf feels that he is not so much longing for his own death, but rather spreading it himself.

And the fleeting breath just now also reminded Zela of a disdainful experience.

This man ......

Let's call him a human being, and on the inside, perhaps, ......

It's already something else'
