Chapter 588 Mira Erza: Chase, I have something good to show you!
"The acquisition of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is actually related to Irene?"
Chase frowned, the words left behind by the black-clad sage before he disappeared echoing in his mind.
"Irene Belserion, the one known as the Mother of Dragon Slayers, the Scarlet Despair, one of the two pillars of the Alvarez Empire?"
Makarov revealed the other party's identity in a deep voice, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
After the test, Chess pulled him back inside.
As for why the old man knew Eileen's information, it was, of course, something Chase had mentioned in his previous confession.
He was so shocked when he learned that she was Erza's biological mother that his expression was even more dramatic than when he saw the black dragon.
"But isn't the legendary White Stone the card spirit of that idiot master? How could he be related to Erza's mother?"
The dark magician girl sat on her pink staff, her fair legs swinging casually.
Stealing a glance at the still-recovering Dark Mage, she then boldly said, "Could it be that the old man was just making things up to save face?!"
Thump!
The familiar crisp sound rang out again on her head, as clear as if it were hitting a hollow piece of wood.
"Looks like one copy isn't enough for you to copy."
The dark mage retracted his staff, adopting a thoughtful expression, considering whether to increase the number of times he had to copy the punishment texts.
The dark magician girl, completely lacking in backbone, immediately admitted defeat, looking up at the dark magician with teary eyes: "Master, I was wrong! You're right, it must be related to Irene!"
Inwardly, he angrily cried out: Damn it! Why can he remember what just happened even after turning back!
Chess ignored the idiot and instead began to seriously ponder the words of the Great Sage in Black.
The possibility that she would say something carelessly out of fear of losing face is definitely not there. So, what is it about Eileen that makes her different from others?
The first thing that came to his mind was the "high-level enchantment magic," which was considered omnipotent and could even alter the soul.
Thinking about it carefully, when it first obtained the legendary white stone, it showed Wendy a different kind of closeness than others, which might be related to the enchanted magic!
There's even the element of "Dragon Slayer Mage," which is one of the two things Irene and Wendy have in common.
The only difference is that, whether it's enchantment magic or dragon slaying magic, Irene is several levels stronger than Wendy, after all, she is known as the "Mother of Dragon Slayer Mages".
However, speculation is just speculation.
After thinking it over, Chess finally gave up the idea of summoning the Great Sage in Black again after regaining his strength.
Putting aside the fact that Erza is his biological mother, both Irene and Magic King August are potential targets for him to acquire cards.
Anyway, we'll run into each other eventually. If we still have no clue then, it's not too late to ask the Great Sage in Black.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and see if others can be affected by the Time Magician's abilities and thus gain a stronger form."
As he spoke, Chase turned his gaze to the timid dark mage girl, a chilling smile in his eyes.
Although it's unlikely to succeed without a corresponding physical card, we've already come all this way—
Of course, we should try all the possibilities!
"You idiot master! Don't even think about messing with me! I'd rather die than cooperate with you!"
The dark magician girl sensed something was wrong from his gaze. She crossed her arms over his broad chest, took two steps back, and her pretty face was filled with a determination to resist to the death.
Just thinking about her hair turning white and her face covered in wrinkles makes her feel terrible.
To become a wretched old woman like the Great Sage in Black is hundreds of times more terrifying than hell!
"Too bad, I'd love to see what you'll look like when you're old," Chase chuckled.
"Don't even think about it!" The dark magician girl's resistance intensified.
With no other option, Chase had to look away and gaze at the quiet, mature, and silent magician standing to his side.
She wore an elegant white robe, her long silver hair cascading down to her waist, and she resembled a delicate ice sculpture, exuding a cold and aloof aura that kept people at a distance.
However, Chase's gaze instantly shattered that composure.
The silent magician's cold face froze instantly, his exquisite features as if frozen in place.
Although he didn't speak, his quiet retreat behind the crowd and the staff he silently held to his chest said it all:
You damn bastard, you dare use me to test you? I'll fight you to the death!
Left with no other option, Chase, whose mischievousness had failed, had to target the Dark Magician of Chaos.
The Dark Magician of Chaos stood in the center of the hall with his arms crossed, completely unconcerned about his appearance. He calmly nodded and accepted the composure, even flexing his wrists with interest.
As expected, he was reduced to ashes and vanished into thin air during the baptism of time magic, only to be restored to his original form under Chase's magic.
Later, Chess sought out elven swordsmen, dragon-slaying swordsmen, and others to try it out:
The elven swordsman's armor rusted and peeled away under the time magic, the dragon-slaying swordsman's greatsword turned to iron filings, and he couldn't even maintain his human form.
All the card spirits that did not have a physical card collaboration resulted in the exact same outcome, without even the slightest surprise!
With some disappointment, Chase and Makarov left the card space and returned to Nirvana.
A night breeze, carrying a slight chill, swept away the gloom in the card space.
"The power of time is truly astonishing."
Makarov couldn't help but sigh, his gaze drifting into the distance.
Looking at the brawlers already in full swing in the Nirvana Duel Arena, he couldn't help but recall the carefree days he spent playing with his friends under the protection of the second-generation Guild Master, Precito.
Back then, he was just like Natsu, reckless and full of trouble.
In the blink of an eye, he had become a frail old man, his hair gray and his back hunched, while Chairman Precito was long gone.
Thinking of this, the old man's eyes reddened slightly.
"Instead of lamenting life, sir, I think you should be thinking about something else right now," Chase said, gazing into the distance.
"What?" Old Ma, immersed in the past, was somewhat dazed.
Chase smiled and pointed to the ground ahead. Under the star-studded night sky, the city's outline was clearly visible, and the lights of thousands of homes were reflected on the ground like a galaxy.
On the edge of the city, a cluster of buildings built on a hilltop is brightly lit.
The white walls gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and the council flag hanging at the top fluttered in the night wind.
We've arrived at the headquarters of the Holy Ten Council!
"Aaaaaah! Why did you have to remind me?!"
Makarov's lips twitched, he covered his head with both hands, his gray hair was all messed up, and he let out a miserable and inexplicably pitiful wail.
The sound echoed in the night sky, startling several birds that were perched on the edge of Nirvana.
Soon, Nirvana landed smoothly in a nearby open space.
The massive fuselage sank down, eventually touching the ground gently, raising a little dust.
As per procedure, Ultear and the Dark Purge Force "escorted" all the Fairy Tail members who had caused this great turmoil to the interrogation room of the Ten Council.
It was called escorting, but it was really just walking ahead and leading the way. They weren't even tied with ropes; it was more like a tour guide leading tourists on a tour.
As for Makarov, the chairman, he was taken directly to a separate hall.
There, the councilors who had received advance notice were already in place, seated in semi-circular seats, their eyes gleaming.
This naturally includes Fairy Tail's senior, Warlord Sink, as well as the current chairman and the second-ranked member of the Ten Wizard Saints, Hyberion!
Thanks to Ultear's cooperation, and because the Fairy Tail operation did not result in any casualties or damage to the site, and also uprooted Tartaros, which the Council considered a threat, the ancient monster Phoenix was prevented from wreaking havoc on the world.
Therefore, the entire interrogation process of Fairy Tail members is actually similar to going to someone's house for a cup of tea.
After a brief statement was taken and a promise to stay in touch and cooperate with any further discussions, everyone was released.
Lucy let out a long sigh of relief as she walked out of the interrogation room, Wendy patted her chest, and Natsu yawned nonchalantly.
Makarov was not among them.
It seems that Hayberian and the others have other important matters to discuss with him.
Knowing that the children were all tired after a long day, Old Ma decided to let everyone ride Nirvana back to Magnolia to let their guildmates know they were safe.
After the matter was settled, he would take the magic train back and ask Hyberion for reimbursement for the ticket.
However, to Makarov's great distress, these bastards agreed without a second thought, showing not the slightest reluctance to part with this old man!
After going around in circles, it was already late at night when I returned to the guild.
The streets of Magnolia were quiet and peaceful, with only warm light shining from the windows of the guild building.
The moment the door was opened, Bisca, Romeo, and the others swarmed around, bombarding her with questions.
To show their appreciation, everyone had a small celebration at the guild before heading home.
The Chase family's three-story villa stands by the city moat.
The moonlight shone on the river, making it sparkle, and occasionally the croaking of frogs could be heard in the distance.
"What a fruitful day!"
Chess stretched comfortably, raised his arms high above his head, and plopped down on the soft sofa.
The trip yielded far more fruitful results than he had anticipated.
Putting aside the coordinates of the continent of Giltina and the clues about the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the three new cards—Time Magician, Millennium Dragon, and Great Sage in Black—have already brought him a significant boost in power!
"It feels like catching up with Chase is getting harder and harder."
Erza sat down opposite him, legs together, hands neatly placed on her knees, and sighed deeply.
Despite this, there was no frustration or resentment in his words, and his eyes were calm and gentle.
She will definitely strive to become stronger, but being protected by the powerful Chase is also a very happy thing.
"That's already impossible," Mira sighed with a smile.
She wasn't as rigid as Erza; she casually took off her coat, completely freeing her long white hair and graceful figure that had been confined by her clothes.
Then, with practiced ease, he walked to the water dispenser in the corner of the living room, bent down to fill a glass with warm water, and handed it to Chess, his movements skillful and natural.
Because they all had something "good" they were eager to show Chase, and were a little shy in front of their friends, they waited until everyone had left before sneaking off with Chase to go home.
"Haha, it's okay. Isn't protecting you guys what I should do?"
Chess took a sip of the warm water; the temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
He patted his chest, the muscles making a dull thud, and said domineeringly, "Forget all that nonsense, just hold on tight to my leg!"
Upon hearing this, Mira blushed immediately and couldn't help but spit out, "Who, who recognized you as their husband!"
Erza's head suddenly emitted a lot of hot air, her face was even redder than her long crimson hair, and even the temperature in the room rose a few degrees.
Looking at the two girls with different but equally adorable reactions, Dead Card Guy's lips curled up slightly, a smile even harder to suppress than an AK.
"By the way, I got a lot of good stuff from the phoenix, which should be of great help in improving your strength."
"Chase, I have something good to show you!" x2
After a brief silence, the three voices rang out simultaneously, as if they had rehearsed beforehand.
"I'll go first."
Chase had basically guessed what they were referring to.
Mira and Erza did not refuse, but after glaring at each other at an odd time, they finally turned their attention to him.
Chase didn't keep them in suspense and snapped his fingers.
Two storage cards immediately appeared in his palm, and the dark golden magic circle flickered at his fingertips before falling silent.
"Erza, this is for you. Inside are the wings and main skeleton that were taken from the phoenix, as well as its claws and fiery tail."
He handed one of the cards to Erza; the card had a faint glow of fire flowing across it. "These materials should be enough to forge a set of Phoenix Armor. The blueprints designed with the help of the Dark Magician are also included. Remember to let me know if you need the money."
Monster materials are a key factor in determining the strength of an armor, and as one of the top-tier materials, armor made from parts of the Phoenix is definitely strong enough.
After all, those wings alone are over ten meters long when spread out, and the hardness of the skeleton is such that even a Red-Eyes Black Dragon's claw attack cannot leave a mark!
"No, no money? To be honest, Chase, I've actually saved up quite a bit of wealth over the years."
Erza took the card, her expression unusually solemn, her tone incredibly firm, "So, there's absolutely no need to worry about the bride price!"
"Huh?" Chase was taken aback.
So you were acting so serious not because of the expensive phoenix material, but because you were thinking about the bride price?
In the world of Fairy Tail, there's actually a concept of betrothal gifts?
The Tenth Trial is just around the corner, and the day of the proposal is fast approaching. Looks like I need to get ready!
But then again, Erza being so incredibly serious in such a strange place is just so cute!
"What an idiot woman, she sold herself before even getting married," Mira muttered under her breath, her face full of disgust.
She swore that she was not complaining because she had been receiving a basic salary from the guild for years and her wealth was not as great as Erza's!
"Mira, this is yours."
Unaware of her ulterior motives, Chase used the same motion to hand her another card.
"Inside is a gem I crafted using the essence of phoenix blood that I extracted. The Black Mage and his team have tested it, and it has the effect of partially regenerating flesh and replenishing magic power."
In his initial plan, he actually wanted Mira to receive the soul of the demon phoenix.
However, the origin of the "God-giver" is extraordinary, involving the so-called "God of Demons," and there is an uncontrollable risk of backlash or even possession.
So they had no choice but to give up, as he crushed them directly with divine power.
