Separated by a huge crystal in the center of the vast space, Noah standing at the entrance and Gerald sitting on the throne met their gazes in midair, although there were no extremely obvious sparks, but they also made the surrounding atmosphere completely sink and become extremely oppressive.

Turning his gaze to Gerald on the other side, Noah spoke indifferently as he walked forward slowly.

"You know me?"

Meeting Gerald and Noah was the first time in the true sense of the word.

However, Gerald was able to call out his full name, apparently possessing information about Noah's journey.

And Gerald smiled as if he didn't care, got up from his seat, and learned from Noah, saying such a sentence in a playful tone as he walked forward.

"Don't you know me, too?"

"Then you should know what I'm here for, right?" Noah's complexion remained unchanged.

"I don't know, are you going to answer my question?"

"Which purpose do you mean?" Gerald stared closely at Noah, who was approaching him.

"Information on this Tower of Paradise? Or is it the truth of the past? ”

However, to Gerald's surprise, Noah actually laughed out loud.

"Did you make a mistake?" Noah's chin lifted slightly, and the gaze cast on Gerald froze little by little.

"Information on the Tower of Paradise? The truth of the past? None of that is the most important thing! ”

"Whether it's investigating the Tower of Paradise or the truth about what happened here in the past, it's only for my purpose!" Noah stopped his steps, stretched out his hand, and squeezed it tightly in Gerald's direction.

"I have only one goal, and that is to learn about Elusa's unbearable past, and then pull her out of that mud!"

That's right!

That's Noah's purpose!

Noah will come here, and he will come to Gerald, not because the "R System" will resurrect the cruel Dark Wizard Ancestor Gerf who did all kinds of evil in the past, nor because he wants to save everyone here, but just to free Elusa from the past that has been painful!

There is no other purpose!

And this purpose, for Gerald, was extremely unexpected.

"It was a real surprise to me." Gerald smiled, and that smile looked like he was mocking Noah.

"I thought that you came to prevent the activation of the 'R system', and I also thought that you came to rescue everyone here, and even thought about whether the mainland found something to secretly send you a mission to send you here to investigate, but I didn't expect that you actually came here for Elusa alone, which really surprised me."

"Are you really surprised?" As if trying to see through Gerald's heart, Noah looked at Gerald's evil face.

"In the past, didn't you also save Elusa in the torture cell, knowing that if she was discovered, it would be a dead end, but you still didn't care to save Elusa?"

"Did you say that time?" The smile on Gerald's face grew even stronger.

"That's just when I wasn't awake yet."

"Awakening?" Noah's heart moved.

"What do you mean?"

"At that time, I didn't realize what a great man Jerf was." At the mention of the name of the greatest villain of all time, Gerald's expression became a little fanatical.

"It wasn't until I was put in a torture cell in place of Elusa that I learned about Gelf's greatness there, and learned that if I want to be truly free and get the right to live in a real paradise, I have to resurrect Gelf, so I awakened, and I began to master it!"

"It's a pity that Elusa can't understand at all, she doesn't know what a great person Jeelf is, and she even advised me to escape, and she wants to escape with her rare laborers." Gerald shook his head regretfully.

"It's a pity, but since Elusa can't understand, then I don't need her, and I just have to have a reason to keep everyone here, so let Elusa give her part for the great Jelf."

Hearing this, Noah raised his head violently, his eyes were like arrows, as if he wanted to pierce Gerald, and shot straight at the opposite side.

"In other words, the so-called betrayal of Elusa was all directed and acted by you?"

"There's no way around it, it's all for Jelf." Gerald chuckled unhurriedly.

"Now, the Tower of Paradise is finally completed, I don't need these anymore, if you want to know the truth, I'll tell you, you want to save those companions of Elusa, I will let you save them, all I want is Gelf's recovery!"

Speaking of this, Gerald put away the smile that had been hanging on his face, and his face became a little terrifying and evil.

"Don't get in my way, Noadole."

The audience was suddenly silent.

In the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Noah still looked at Gerald without changing his face, and after half a ring, he spoke indifferently.

"It seems that you are the one who has been devoured by the power of magic."

Now, Elusa's unbearable past has been revealed.

Although I don't know what happened, Gerald, who was imprisoned in the torture cell in place of Elusa, for some reason, awakened his magic, and was swallowed by the power of magic that he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, and became a complete villain.

Looking at Gerald's fanatical and cruel appearance for Jelf's sake, it was like a fanatic believer without ego, with no sense at all.

Therefore, in order to complete the "R system", Gerald deliberately let Elusa go, and blew up all the ships that escaped, so that all the slaves could only stay and build the Tower of Paradise for him, and the notoriety was all put on Elusa.

That's why when Elusa first joined Fairytail, she was the one who didn't get close to the living, and she had such a painful expression when she mentioned the past.

Probably, Gerald took all the people here as hostages and threatened Elusa that Elusa would never be allowed to expose the matter of the Tower of Paradise, or even approach it, otherwise she would kill Elusa's former companions, right?

Gerald, who could put his life at risk in order to save Elusa, is long gone.

Now, there is only one evil person who has completely lost himself, consumed by the power of magic.

"Da---!"

With a strong footstep, Noah stepped forward, and his gaze on Gerald seemed to be cold, piercing at Gerald's body.

"Is it because of you that Elusa is so painful?!"

"What do you want to do? Noa Dol! Gerald laughed.

"Want to beat me?! Want to stop me?! Do you want to get a breath of relief for Elusa?! ”

"You! Can you do it?! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gerald's hands suddenly opened.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, in the entire originally dim vast space, a dazzling bright light suddenly rose up, bringing a phosphorescent light on the ground, walls, and ceilings, and blending in.

"Buzz buzz!"

In the next second, with the sound of air concussions, an extremely huge magic array spun and spread out, instantly covering the entire ground.

It's not just the ground.

The surrounding walls and the ceiling above the head all appeared in a mysterious magic array, like the surface of a cube, connected to each other, forming a strange space.

Noah felt only a flower in front of him, and the originally vast room disappeared, replaced by an endless rocky field.

"This is—" Noah couldn't help but be surprised.

"Satisfied? This is for you! Gerald proudly stretched out his hands and said in a loud voice.

"This is a kind of ancient magic, a large-scale magic used to open up a battlefield in your favor, originally, magic of this scale was used in war, but now it is unfolding for you alone, it should be honored, Noa Dol!"

"A battlefield in your favor?" Noah noticed the key words.

"When you enter this battlefield, you must abide by the "trap" that has been set in advance." Gerald's voice grew inflamed.

"And the rule of this battlefield is that only two people can be saved!"

Now, Noah understood.

Gerald burst out laughing.

"That's right! That golden wolf of yours can't scream! ”R1152
