"Esther, Elusa!" Natsu's voice could be heard in the distance.

Esther and Elusa turned around and saw Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Jubian running towards them.

"Natsu, Gray, Lucy, you ......" Elusa had a touch in her eyes.

"Elusa, have you seen Harpy?" Natsu was surprised at first when she saw Elusa, then unhappy, "Harpy was taken away by Catwoman. ”

"Is it Miliana?" Elusa thought for a moment, "If it were her, Harpy wouldn't be in danger.

Miliana loves cats and never hurts them! ”

"I don't care, I'm going to save Harpy!" Natsu shouted, and ran straight into the distance.

"Natsu this guy!" Esther laughed.

"Let's go, let's go meet Gerald for a while!" Esther turned and looked in the other direction.

"Actually, everyone used to be like this." Elusa said as she walked.

"At that time, we were all working hard at the Tower of Paradise, and we weren't like that.

We live together and work together for freedom.

At that time, Gerald was our leader.

We encourage and support each other.

Although it is dark, there is also light and hope.

Until one day I lost an eye.

Gerald, in a fit of rage, was taken away by those men.

When I come back, I will take everyone with me to save Gerald.

The other side is very strong, even if we can defeat ordinary soldiers, but against the magic soldiers we all lose.

It was my grandfather who saved me with his life.

It was also my grandfather's death that made me awaken magic, the same costume magic as my grandfather.

But when I defeat those magicians, I come to Gerald.

And Gerald's at that time had changed.

He said he needed someone who could inspire anger from his partners and make them serve him.

He knocked me unconscious, put me on the boat, and when I woke up, I was on the shore of the mainland.

At that time, I was confused and didn't know where to go.

At that time, I remembered my grandfather's words and remembered the mark on my grandfather's back, so I came to Fairy Tail. ”

"Gerald, and everyone else, were lost in their minds.

It became unbelievable to me."

Elusa's voice was pained.

Several people didn't know how to comfort Elusa.

Esther reached out and took Elusa's somewhat cold little hand.

"Sister, are you telling the truth?" A sudden voice remembers.

"But I don't believe it!"

"Hugh!" Elusa had surprise on her face.

"I don't believe it, sister, is what you just said true?

No way, you know what, how painful we are after you betray us.

Do you want to win the pity of your companions with these false words? ”

Hugh shouted.

Before Elusa could speak, Esther squeezed Alyssa's hand.

"Did Gerald tell you?" Esther said indifferently, "Is Elusa the person you know like this?" ”

With a gentle smile on her face, Esther looked at Hugh with a blazing gaze, "At least, Elusa I know is not such a person.

She is a girl who would rather sacrifice herself for the sake of her partner. ”

"What do you know!" Hugh roared, "You don't know at all.

Eight years ago, my sister planted explosives on the boat we were trying to escape.

If Gérald hadn't found out earlier, we would all have died.

We almost collapsed when we learned that our sister had betrayed us, and it was Gerald who sustained us and kept us alive.

And the Tower of Paradise is everything we hold onto, everything we live in.

And you are telling me now that all this is wrong.

Only my sister is right, how do you want me to believe. ”

Esther took a step forward.

"Elusa is right!" At this moment, a voice rang out, and a man walked over.

"Simon!" Elusa spoke.

"It's you!" Gray's hands radiated cold.

"Mistress Gray, please wait!" Zhu Bi'an suddenly stopped Gray, "When he was in the casino, he knew that Master Gray had made a dummy and still attacked, so I followed him because I was a little confused, and I wanted to ask clearly." ”

"The other party is the one who uses dark magic, and in the darkness, he can see everything clearly!"

"Simon!" Elusa looked at Simon.

"I'm sorry, Elusa, I've always believed you, and I know that Gerald has been cheating on us."

Simon walked over and stood in front of Elusa, "I was worried about you eight years ago, and now it's good to see you safe! ”

Simon hugged Elusa and let go of her.

"Gerald is terrible, I've been pretending not to know all these years in order to deceive him, just like you.

In the underground casino, I didn't mean to hurt people, I just wanted to knock them out.

I just wanted to fool Gerald.

Add to him to make an iceman, I naturally have to cooperate! ”

Simon had a smile on his face.

"Simon, you're still the same as before!" Elusa had a sincere smile on her face.

"Now, the time has come, and the strongest magicians have gathered here.

Gerald must be defeated. ”

As he said this, Simon glanced at Gray, Jubien, Lucy, and Elusa finally paused on Esther.

The gaze was entangled, but also relieved and lonely.

"Now we're going to stop the conflict between the Fire Dragon and Woolley, and we're going to gather all our strength."

"But at the casino, Natsu and Lucy were almost killed! Zhu Bi'an spoke, still suspicious on his face.

"No, I don't want to find any excuses.

If they were killed so easily, they would never be qualified to fight Gerald. ”

Simon spoke with the slightest mercy.

……

Above the tower.

Dressed in a black robe, Gerald has a chessboard in front of him, on which are chess pieces modeled after both sides.

He picked up the pieces representing Natsu, kicked two pieces that belonged to his side, and put the two pieces on the opponent's lineup.

"Hugh and Simon mutinied, and Woolley and Miriana were beaten by Natsu."

Gerald's subordinate said.

"Since it's a game, that's the only way it's fun!"

……

"You know the dangers of the R system, and it's Jelf who they're going to resurrect.

There is no time to delay. ”

"However, with the use of magical elf power, many residents will be harmed."

"This is a necessary sacrifice to stop the R system!"

"I agree!" Another councillor, who agreed after silence.

In this way, only one councillor will be left to activate the magic elf power.

……

"One spot left!" Gerald's voice had a smile in his voice.

"What did you say, sir?" The subordinates were a little dazed.

"I mean, there's one spot left until the end of the game!" Gerald said lightly.
