Chapter 260 Departure
The arrival of Chess and Mistgang interrupted the otherwise pleasant but noisy chatter among the group.
"Your Highness, are you alright? Why is your face so red?" Lili noticed Mistgang's unusual behavior first.
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that Mister Gang's face was bright red, which, combined with the cool and handsome features, gave him an unusually cute look.
"He came to this state after just one trip alone, Happy. You mean Chess and Mystergan, could it be...?" Lucy whispered gossipyly in Happy's ear.
Standing next to Wendy, her face instantly turned bright red, and her smoking head involuntarily conjured up some rather outrageous BL (Boys' Love) images.
The others around them were also swayed by Lucy's words, and their gazes toward Chase and Mistgang suddenly became ambiguous.
"No, no, that's not true. Don't just imagine things like that!"
Mr. Gang couldn't stand this treatment and hurriedly rushed into the frame, tearing the bromance scene hanging above Wendy's head to shreds.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Jera, no, Mr. Gang!" Wendy waved her hands repeatedly in apology.
"Wendy, stay away from Lucy." Charlotte warned Lucy with a look of disgust, and pulled Charlotte away.
"Haha! Mr. Gang, you should really think about what I just told you~"
Chess laughed heartily, showing none of the embarrassment that Mister Gang had shown, and instead threw out information that was extremely easy to misunderstand.
That bastard definitely did it on purpose!
Mr. Gang immediately panicked, remembering the phrase "Do you want a wife or not?" His usually clear and calm mind once again went into a state of panic.
Loki, who was having tea with Aries in the Protoss realm: Finally, someone else has experienced the same pain as me, being tormented by Chase!
He had previously been put on the hot seat by Chase and Elfman, and the three of them even gave him a good "blow" in Magnolia.
Dating".
Knowing he couldn't outmaneuver the shameless Chess, and that continuing this charade would only make things worse, Mystogan quickly changed the subject: "Everyone, Anima's charging is complete, and we can return to Asland now. Don't keep the Guild Master waiting."
This method worked, and Lucy and the others began to sigh with emotion upon hearing that they were going home, while the Fairy Tail members looked reluctant to part.
Soon, led by Mistgang, the group returned to the Anima control room, which had been mostly dismantled.
Along with them came a group of cats who seemed quite reserved, staying at the very back of the line.
Those are the transcendents of Esland.
In the previous great battle, the secret of Queen Shagate, who was known as a "god," was exposed—she could not arbitrarily decide the life and death of humans, but only possessed the special ability to foresee the future.
Although the tyrannical and cruel king has been dethroned, he will likely be replaced by the approachable Mystgon.
But clearly, without a powerful transcendent being, it is destined that they will not be able to live peacefully in Edolas.
Besides the alluring attribute of possessing magical power, many Edolas people have long been disgusted by these beings who consider themselves "gods." Even with the change of dynasties in the kingdom, the contradictions accumulated over the years are destined to be irreconcilable.
Staying in Edolas will inevitably lead to annihilation sooner or later.
Perhaps foreseeing this terrifying future, Queen Shaget led the entire nation's inhabitants to request Mystergan to send them all to the magically rich land of Esland.
It was both a refuge and a welcome to a new life.
During this time, Shaget, along with several transcendent ministers, confessed to Sharuru Harpy and the people the truth about why they were forced to send the children to Asland back then.
This naturally includes the fact that Xia Lulu, due to interference from her ability to foresee the future, created the unfounded mission of "destroying the Dragon Slayer Magic Soil," thus clearing up all the misunderstandings.
However, Shaget did not acknowledge her daughter, Charlotte, as she felt she was not qualified to be a mother until she became one.
Mystogan was well aware of the allure of the Transcendent to the Edolas and understood Queen Shaget's actions, so he immediately agreed to her request.
Erza noticed a perverted fellow among the cats who looked remarkably like an old acquaintance from the night before, and almost couldn't resist kicking him away!
And so, the Transcendents hitched a ride on Chase and his companions' trip.
hum!
Inside the Anima control room, a large magic circle engraved with Edra magic runes slowly unfolded, covering the surroundings with blazing white light and emitting a rich magical energy fluctuation.
Chess, Erza, Lucy, Gajeel, Wendy, Charlo, Gildarts, and the Beyonders entered the magic circle one after another.
Natsu, who would normally be the first to act in such situations, stood there hesitant.
Harpy did the same; both the human and the cat looked at Lisana simultaneously, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Although Lisana hasn't admitted it yet, after spending a few days together, how could they not recognize their childhood friend?
Lisana noticed Natsu and Happy's gazes, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to suppress the urge that was about to burst out of her grasp. She steeled herself and turned her head away to look elsewhere.
After spending two or three years together, the kind-hearted woman knew very well how important she was to Mira and Elfman, and couldn't bear to see them suffer the pain of losing their family again.
At the same time, she missed her older sister and brother in Esland terribly, caught in the middle and in a dilemma.
Just as she was suffering, Lisana was suddenly shoved hard from behind, stumbling to Natsu and Happy's side. "Mira-nee—"
Lisana turned around abruptly and saw Edmila and Ed Elfman, who needed to lean on each other to keep standing.
Even so, the two of them tried their best to maintain a relaxed and strong expression.
"It's okay, we know."
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything right away after I realized it, Lisana."
"You are just like Lisanna, a very gentle and kind child. So, you can't let your real older sisters, brothers, and guildmates like Nazhabi be sad."
"No! Sister Mira! Brother Elfman!" Lisana's tears welled up instantly as she struggled to run over.
"Please! Your Highness!" Edmila cried out in a voice trembling with tears.
Edchez gently helped her up, taking her slightly trembling, pale wrist in his hand to give her courage.
Mystergan didn't speak, but silently raised his hand to activate Anima's Reverse Mode.
A white light curtain immediately lit up from the edge of the teleportation array, shooting straight into the sky and completely separating the tearful Lisana, blocking her path.
The air was thick with the sadness of parting. Whether it was the Fairy Tail members on Edolas' side or Lucy and the others inside the light barrier, they all remained silent, unsure of how to offer any words of comfort.
Because Lisana of Edolas was already dead, Chase sighed heavily as he looked at Edmila and Ed Elfman, who were on the verge of emotional collapse.
From Edchez's words, he gained a clearer understanding of the danger posed by Ankhseram, the "God of Death and Taboo." The last time Uru was resurrected, it was because the Dark Mage, based on the fact that he had used the Resurrection ability during his battle with Igunia without being noticed, deduced that the resurrection of a person on the verge of death would be completed before their soul dissipated, making it difficult for Ankhseram to detect.
But Adriana's situation is much more complicated, given the long time that has passed, and she might actually be "cursed"!
Chase isn't really afraid of becoming a "Death Slayer Mage" like Zeref. Even if his companions are killed, he can use Monster Resurrection to bring them back. He might even be able to use this to study Ankhseram's power weakness and find a way to break the curse.
but.
Getting involved with Ankhseram at this stage is far too impactful and dangerous, both for himself and his guildmates, and even for the entire Asland!
Therefore, for safety's sake, Chase abandoned his previous idea of trying to resurrect Adrisana.
Perhaps only when he can permanently summon the Sky Dragon can he make up for this regret—he firmly believes that his god will never lose to that bullshit Ankhseram!
And so, in the midst of a sorrowful and reluctant atmosphere, the radiance of the Anima magic circle fully bloomed, completely enveloping Chess and the others, transforming them into a streak of white light that shot into the sky, disappearing into the swirling vortex of time and space high above, and reaching another world.
The huge control room fell silent instantly, a stark contrast to the previous bustling scene.
As the points of light in front of them gradually dissipated, Edmila and Ed Elfman completely lost their strength and collapsed to the ground.
"Nach, there will definitely be a chance to meet again in the future, right?" Edmila's pretty face was already covered with tears.
"That's for sure. Didn't 'I' say I would establish a spacetime portal between the two worlds?" Edchez forced a smile.
Upon hearing this, Edmila completely broke down and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
At the same time, Ed Abrams, who was also in a relationship with Ed Elfman, was also gently comforting him.
Goodbye, Chase, and everyone—
Mistgang silently bid farewell in the direction the group had left, and when he looked away again, a hint of determination appeared in the depths of his eyes.
There are countless things to do next: persuading the people, rebuilding the kingdom, establishing contact with the Northern Continent, constructing a large-scale teleportation device, and mobilizing resources to build the Nerle Kingdom given by Ches. Time is of the essence, and it is impossible for him to do it all by himself alone. Therefore, Mistgang took out the card that imprisoned Nightworka.
Although he was quite confused by Chess's use of the word "wife," there was no denying that at this moment, he desperately needed the help of Nightworka, the other kingdom's magic war captains, and Fairy Tail!
