Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Chapter 86

***

It has been almost three years since Aidan left the guild. During this time, many changes have taken place throughout Fiore. But some, for many years, like the slow maturation of a dragon, have been striving towards their goal. For example, south of the country, off the coast of the Kingdom of the Cutter, the Tower of Heaven continued to be built no matter what. Slaves in the past have received better treatment from the possessed Jellal and have worked tirelessly to complete the dark artifact. None of them could have imagined that all the ways of salvation were burned by their "benefactor." In gratitude for this gift, they continued to build the tower. One day the day will come and the R-system will fulfill its purpose!

On the spacious balcony of the stone tower, a guy of about sixteen, closing his eyes, tried to use a complex spell. Blue hair, red tattoo on the right eye, black T-shirt and dark cloak. This youth was Jellal Fernandez, trying to comprehend Sema, one of the most powerful spells of the Magic of the Heavenly Bodies.

Not far from Jellal stood a muscular black man with silver hair. This person was Brain, Jellal's chief mentor, who taught him the magic of the Celestial Bodies and more.

The man nodded gloomily, looking at the student:

"Still not enough, you're in too much of a hurry, concentrate. This spell is not for impulsive jerks!

Jellal grimaced slightly and snorted.

- I know without you. Without distracting me ...

Shaking his head slightly, Brain turned away and looked from the balcony at the workers below, who were hardly any different from slaves. But, on their tired faces, there was not even a bit of resistance, although they looked weakened, they worked quite actively. Brain just grinned haughtily at the amusing sight. Among this crowd, he has already found several worthy candidates, it remains only to train them.

"Midnight is very talented, perhaps even more than this sly brat," Throwing a grin at Jellal, Brain nodded at his results. Even if he behaved smugly, in magic he definitely has a great future.

"Midnight already has successes, and it will definitely be easier to work with. That brat ... I think he can survive the fusion with the poisonous lacrima. It is worth taking a closer look at that fat man, he has potential, as for the rest ... Let's take a look "

A lot has changed in Fiore over the past three years. Several types of magic were included in the prohibited list, including Sharma Magic. Several dark guilds ceased to exist, and a couple of Legal ones also appeared. It is also worth mentioning the attempts of the Alboles Empire to invade Ishgar, but their attempt was thwarted by Etherion. Peace reigned in these lands again.

The days followed each other, while Aidan continued on his way ...

In the guild, famous throughout Fiore, Fairy Tail, as usual, there was a noisy crowd, in their usual drunken fun. Recently, the mages welcomed Gildarts from a mission, so the celebration dragged on. Of course, everyone knew - just give them a reason ...

Over the years, there have been only a few significant events in the guild. First of all, Fairy Tail has once again begun to rival Phantom Lord. More precisely, the people of Phantom Lord thought so, and many in Fairy Tail did not even pay attention to them. It was also worth mentioning that Laxus, and then Erza, became senior wizards. For a whole month, young Titania has not shown herself, steaming on some task. Well, the Thunderbolts don't appear in the guild at all for two years after Laxus became an S rank mage. Within a few months, another exam for the senior wizard was to begin, and many of those in the know already had a clear idea of the next winner.

Mirajane, along with her sister and brother, organized a team and became quite famous wizards. On this day, they were also not there, only Cana and Gray, paired with Levi, exchanged words.

- I think it will never end, that's why I love Fairy Tail! - Cana laughed and began to drink straight from the barrel. Levy walked away in shock and scaredly glanced at Gray, to which the guy just shrugged his shoulders and immediately undressed.

"G-gray, y-your clothes," the girl said embarrassedly, covering her eyes with her hand.

- Damn it! - going in search of gear, Gray got into a fight and a general carnage began.

Gildarts chuckled chatting with the Master:

- So ... I heard that now we already have four older wizards?

- Yeah, sort of like, - Makarov muttered displeasedly:

- That little Aidan's shket disappeared somewhere again, even though you yourself go and look for this bastard!

- Ha-ha, well, this is youth, let the kid get some fresh air.

- Air ?! - Makarov indignantly drank a mug and slammed on the table:

- Yes, he has not appeared for two years! No matter how he died there!

Gildarts laughed and waved his hand.

- Do not be afraid, I remember him, a smart guy, since he became the eldest, let him puff.

- Oh, I hope you're right ... but okay he, Duc I still have a crowd of these violent! Just look at them, one is running without panties, and the other is always setting everything on fire and breaking! And what about Erza ?! Once, in anger, she smashed an entire merchant ship! Wow, and Mirajane ... I keep praying that she doesn't kill anyone.

`` It's hard for you, poor fellow, '' chuckling sarcastically, Gildarts patted the old man on the shoulder:

- Well, do not worry, one day you will find a new Master and as the Second you will go on a journey.

- Eh, but what is it ... Without me they will gnaw each other, and then the whole city ...

While everyone was getting drunk, Natsu tried to get out of the river by rubbing his bleeding skull. Gildarts launched him into flight, however, as always ...

- Wow, damn it, one day I'll clean his face properly! Natsu swore, rubbing his bruised head.

Happy flew next to his friend and laughed:

- Of course you will clean it up if you live ... Ha-ha!

- Ugh! Laugh, laugh ... When Eid comes, I'll ask him to train me. He promised me last time. Even Laxus is no match for him! Do you understand? And right now, he should be even stronger!

- Eid? - Happy sat down on his friend's shoulder and sighed: - Charlie is constantly sad because of this guy!

- Well, Wendy too, - Natsu shrugged his shoulders and squeezed water from the scarf: - They drove to the guild, I want to eat!

- Ha, fish!

Many wizards have grown up, including Natsu. Everyone got stronger.

Cana looked thoughtfully at Gildarts and laid out the cards in front of Gray. Slightly tipsy, she was thinking about something of her own ...

- So, nothing has been heard about our revelers? - asked the guy.

Cana turned to him and smiled, shook her head.

- Nope, Erza left for a long time, Mira too, well, Adie ... - the girl sighed sadly: - Almost three years have passed. Even Gildarts did not disappear so much with us. As if nothing happened to him ...

Seeing the concern on her face, Gray laughed and slammed his fist on the table.

- Nonsense! Eid is the coolest ice mage I've ever seen! Well, except for Ur, of course ... - smiling, Kane, the guy chuckled:

- Believe me, he will come back, he said himself, two or three years, that's ... - Gray did not have time to finish, as he noticed Cana's strange reaction, she suddenly began to fall on her side.

- What the ... - Gray also did not understand anything, suddenly collapsing on the table. The cards flew into the air and scattered in all directions.

Following them, most of the mages in the guild also began to collapse and fall asleep. Only Gildarts, drinking wine, remained calm, turning slightly towards the exit:

- Oh, you're the guy ... Mystogan, right?

- Hello, - the guy in the mask nodded slightly. Putting his staff behind his back, Mystogan lowered his head and walked slowly towards the task board. Gildarts followed him with a thoughtful look and continued to jam the alcohol together with Makarov. The old man did not even pay attention to the boy who had arrived. He was even grateful to him because everyone finally calmed down!

"Oh, maybe I should add something to them too? You look and become normal ... "

Gildarts grinned at the old man's sarcastic expression and drained the mug in one gulp.

- Let's continue!

A typical day at Fairy Tail ...

Everything will change in a month.
