"In order to make the Tower of Paradise disappear from the world...... In order to prevent the R system from being used by Gerald, now we have only one way to use the magic elf power! ”

"But ......"

Under the persuasion of Zikrein's efforts, the other seven members of the council, except for Urrutia, hesitated, but could not make a choice.

"The R-system has been called forbidden magic since ancient times."

Urrutia said in a deep voice, "Everyone must know how terrible it is. ”

"The magic spirit power will wipe everything to naught, and the common people will suffer, and everyone in that tower will die because of it."

As one of Makarov's friends and one of the councilors who has always defended Fairy Tail's wrongdoing, Yajma whispered about the scourge of using the power of the elves of magic.

The other commentators shook their heads, some out of genuine concern for the well-being of those people, and others out of reluctance to take on that responsibility.

"Do you really understand what's going on?" Zikret shouted angrily.

"Don't pester Zikrein, after discussing it together, we think it's better to settle this matter peacefully."

"Peacefully?"

Zikrein said incredulously: "In all the time we have wasted, history is constantly turning forward!" Gerald wants to resurrect the dead! ”

"That being said, we don't know if the R system will be activated yet...... Is it too early to attack? ”

"Can't you feel anything?"

Zikrein sneered, "That negativity that is about to kick in, and that terrible thing that he's going to resurrect!" ”

"What did you say?"

"What are you talking about, Zikrein?"

Zikre's body trembled, as if the thought of that terrible thing would make him feel fear, gritted his teeth, and squeezed the name out of his mouth.

"Dark Wizard—Jelf!"

“？！！”

“……”

The entire venue suddenly became silent, and the members of the deliberation committee were sweating one by one, showing extremely shocked expressions.

"You...... You just said ......"

"What the hell do you know? Zikrein! ”

Zikrein gritted his teeth, "Originally, I didn't want to say it, for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion." I know Gérard as a person. Also understand what he wants to do. ”

"Zikrein, tell me ...... clear"

Zikrein raised his head and looked at the members of the council seriously, "I'm Gerald's brother......"

In the end, the decision to use the magic spirit power was passed with 8 votes in favor and 1 against. The Senate decided to use the magic powers to settle the matter, and those who remained in the Tower of Paradise were sacrificed.

"Yajma-senpai, even if you don't agree, there's nothing you can do, we have to stop Jelf's resurrection, you know!"

Zikrein looked at the little old man with his hands on his back, Yajima, and spoke.

"I don't want to care." Ajma shook his head, "Can you take all the responsibility?" ”

"Of course...... All the responsibility is on me......"

"I'm talking about untold lives." Ajma glared angrily, "From now on, you will have to carry so many innocent lives to live!" Zikrein! ”

。。。。。。

"Is this what Elusa has been through?"

Lucy clenched her little fists, "I was betrayed by my companions, but I fell into the stigma of a traitor!" ”

"Miss Elusa's past ......," Jubia said, with a sad expression. Compared with Elusa, although her past is also very miserable, because of the relationship between the rain girl, others deliberately stay away from her, and even hate her, but at this moment she feels that it is nothing. The pain of being betrayed by a trusted companion, if it were her, it would probably collapse.

"I see......"

The feather coat in the shadows sighed softly. But once you know why, things are easy to do.

"So, I'm going to fight Gerald to the death here!"

Elusa held a sharp blade and said resolutely.

"Sister...... Is everything you just said true? ”

Hugh's voice came from behind her, and Elusa turned to look at Hugh and saw Hugh looking at her hesitantly.

"Yes."

"But...... Gerald said, "You have betrayed us!" Hugh exclaimed in disbelief.

"What did Gerald tell you?" Lucy looked at him seriously, "Is Elusa you know someone like that?" ”

Hugh showed a shocking expression, and his previous seriousness was suddenly subverted, and he shouted unacceptably: "You...... You know what! Obviously don't know anything about us! It was Gerald's words that supported me to live to this day!!

So, it took us eight years to build this tower, and it was all for Gerald! And now you're saying that it's my sister who's right, and Gerald's who's wrong, right?! ”

"That's right."

With a voice, a big man walked over from not far away.

"Simon."

And they all turned their heads to look at him.

"Is that you?" Jubia suddenly put on a vigilant posture, "If you want to sneak attack Jubia, you have to ...... with Lord Lin Yu."

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

Simon explained: "Everything I did was just to deceive them, I just wanted to stun you, but Lin Yu really deserves to be an S-level magician, it is really too powerful, but I was taught a good lesson, and now there are bursts of pain in my wrists." ”

"Of course, Lord Lin Yu is the most powerful!"

Hearing someone praise Lin Yu, Jubia suddenly became elated, and his eyes at Simon suddenly changed from vigilant to pleasing to pleasing to the eye.

“……”

Lucy looked at Zhu Biya, who was excited when others just praised Lin Yu, helpless and a little uncomfortable at the same time.

"For ...... To lie to us? Hugh looked at Simon stunned.

"You, Woolley, and Miliana have all been deceived by Gerald." Simon said: "Until the time is right, I have been pretending not to know anything, and I have been cooperating with you ......"

"Simon......" Elusa looked at the big man.

Simon's face flushed with a hint of embarrassment, scratched his cheek and said, "I have never doubted Elusa from beginning to end, and it has been like this for the past 8 years. ”

A smile finally appeared on Elusa's face.

"It's great to see you again, Elusa!"

"Me too, I'm already satisfied to see you again, safe and sound."

"Why can everyone trust my sister so much...... Why ......"

Hugh fell to his knees all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Why can't I ...... Believe in my sister! Damn, ah......hh

Elusa came to Hugh, squatted down lightly, and said softly, "It must be very difficult for you to accept all this now!" But what I want to say is...... I haven't forgotten you all these eight years. ”
