"Buzz!!!"
A surge of magic caused the figure of "Black Monk" Keith to gradually become ethereal, and Silver Fullpasta's heartstrings were suddenly tugged, as that mysterious connection was gradually disappearing.
Once that connection disappears, the support for his existence in this world will also disappear. His life and death are inextricably linked to "Black Monk" Keith, and he cannot sever the connection no matter how hard he tries.
"Buzz!!!"
With a flash of magical light, the figure of "Black Monk" Keith transformed into the "Book of Demons," which was then quickly absorbed into Mirajane's body.
Under the watchful eyes of Moen and Gray, after the disappearance of "Black Monk" Keith, Silver Fullpasta's body began to change rapidly. Silver Fullpasta, who originally looked no different from a normal person, quickly began to show the state of a corpse, a corpse that had been dead for many years.
"It still doesn't look good..."
""
Silver Fullpasta laughed heartily as he spoke.
Seeing the tears welling up in Gray's eyes, Silver Fullbuster patted Gray's head.
"Don't be sad for me, Gray. I'm really satisfied to be able to see you again, to have the opportunity to kill demons, and to be able to teach you the Ice Demon Slayer Technique."
Silver Fullbuster's heartfelt smile eventually touched Gray. Having experienced all of this in a short time, Gray managed a forced smile as he saw his father off with a smile.
The light in Moen's eyes faded, and his expression became confident. He dragged the "progress bar" forward and saw the ending of Silver Fullpasta, so he felt relieved.
"Buzz!"
As Silver Fullpasta's body gradually stiffened, Mirajane finally opened her eyes. She had already used the form of "Black Priest" Keith, transforming into an appearance similar to Cleopatra of Egypt. "Black Priest" Keith was dressed in an Egyptian style.
Mirajane used "Necromantic Spell" directly on Silver Fullpasta's body. Silver Fullpasta, who was almost unable to move, almost immediately regained the power to sustain his existence. Mirajane took control of him.
"Alright, you did it!"
Mirajane clenched her fist in celebration, and then breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to save Gray's father.
"marvelous."
Moen smiled and reached out to give Mirajane a high five, looking like he had absolute confidence in her—of course he was confident after seeing the answer.
Silver Fullpasta felt a moment of dizziness. For a brief instant, he truly thought he was about to vanish. After regaining control, his mind was still hazy, as if he had returned to that time when he was powerless to control himself.
But Mirajane did not intend to control him; she simply gave him the freedom to act as he pleased, without him having to fight for it.
"Grey..."
'
Silver Fullpaster gradually regained consciousness. He looked at his emotionally charged son, Gray, and the two embraced again.
"That's great...that's really great..."
With his heart embracing his father, Gray repeated this over and over.
Moen and Mirajane exchanged a glance, then left in tacit agreement, heading to the hall where "Hades" Maldo Gil was located.
"Now only this guy is left."
Looking at the "Book of Demons" belonging to "Hades" Maldo Gil, Moen couldn't help but start to look forward to the next [Gold Cloth].
Eight of the "Nine Ghost Gates" have already been "acquired" by Mirajane, and Silver Fullpasta has become a living corpse controlled by Mirajane's necromancy. These can definitely be considered to have been successfully eliminated, leaving only "Hades" Maldo Gil.
The nominal chairman "END" is definitely not a member of "Tartars," since the mission requirement is to protect Natsu.
"What...what have you done?!"
Under the watchful eyes of Moen and Mirajane, "Pluto" Maldo Gil, who was sealed by the Crystal Wall, finally stopped pretending to be dead. He reformed into human form, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Mirajane. He sensed eight familiar auras on Mirajane, the auras of the "Nine Ghost Gates"!
The aura of the "Nine Ghost Gates" and the aura of eight demons were all concentrated on Mirajane. No, besides the "Nine Ghost Gates," Mirajane also had the aura of other demons hidden in her body, even demons that were more powerful than the "Nine Ghost Gates"!
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Mr. Hades. Now your subordinates are all my power. But don't be sad, you will soon be like them and become my power as well."
Mirajane smiled and spoke seemingly polite and friendly words, but in reality, every word was a veiled wound, causing "Pluto" Maldo Gil's expression to change drastically, and his eyes to look at her were filled with disbelief.
"I can't believe there are people like you..."
""
"Pluto" Maldo Gil muttered to himself, finding it hard to accept. He had always regarded demons as superior beings, far superior to humans, but Mirajane's "receiving magic" had actually allowed her to seize and use their power.
Mirajane's existence is practically a demon nemesis. Ordinary people's "receiving magic" can't receive demons, but Mirajane's magic seems to be born to fight demons.
Indeed, Mirajane was able to receive demons instinctively even before she knew what "receiving magic" meant; she was truly a natural demon nemesis.
"Damn it!!!"
"Hades" Maldo Gil roared loudly, and then he activated his power and began to control the massive "Hades Island".
The ground began to change, as if it had turned into soft mud and rotten flesh. The square [Crystal Wall] controlling "Pluto" Maldo Gil began to sink, while Moen and Mirajane both flew up.
Wearing the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, Moen also gained a pair of wings, while Mirajane directly unfurled her demon wings.
"I knew it, there was definitely something wrong with this Underworld Island."
Moen was not surprised by this. The buildings on this "Netherworld Island" had actually merged deeply with the "Netherworld Beast," as if they had become part of the "Netherworld Beast's" body.
When the power of "Hades" Maldo Gil began to recover and he was able to provide magic to the "Hades Beast," the "Hades Beast" was finally able to provide assistance to "Hades" Maldo Gil.
"But it's not very useful."
Moen shook his head. It was just a desperate struggle. Even if the "Netherworld Beast" swallowed "Pluto" Maldo Gil, what difference would it make? He still couldn't escape the shackles of the Crystal Wall.
"Order."
Moreover, "Pluto" Maldo Gil seems to have misunderstood the situation. In his current state, this "Beast of the Underworld" will no longer be under his control, but will be controlled by Mirajane's "Command Spell".
After Mirajane gave the command, the "Netherworld Beast" stopped moving and then reacted quickly. The power provided by "Pluto" Maldo Gil was not enough to help it resist Mirajane's "command spell," and its body directly turned against it.
Maldo Gil, the "King of the Underworld" who had just been devoured by the "Underworld Beast," was spat out and reappeared in the room. The floor and walls, which had been writhing like rotten flesh, returned to normal.
"6
The scene became somewhat awkward. "Hades" Maldo Gil closed his eyes, and his final struggle became a joke.
"Lord Zeref... will not let you get away with this."
Perhaps because his mind was too chaotic, "Pluto" Maldo Gill blurted out this sentence, seemingly trying to scare Moen and Mirajane with Zeref's name, which made the two of them look strange.
"You're wrong. It's us who won't let Zeref get away with this."
Moen couldn't help but chuckle. This "Pluto" Maldo Gil, pretending not to care about Zeref, was still thinking about Zeref even when he was about to die. It was really... I don't know what to say.
"You guys? Don't be ridiculous."
Maldo Gil, the "Pluto," was unimpressed by Moen's answer. Although Moen had easily defeated their "Typhoon Gate," it did not mean that Moen was qualified to challenge Zeref, because they were all just Zeref's creations.
However, the image of Moen's punch suddenly flashed through "Pluto" Maldo Gil's mind, making him shudder. This Moen... might actually be able to fight Zeref?
The demons weren't really sure about Zeref's true strength, but since he was their creator, they would naturally mythologize him as much as possible. In the minds of some demons, Zeref was an absolutely invincible being.
"Buzz!!!"
Moen, too lazy to bother with the impotent and furious "Pluto" Maldo Gil, deactivated the Crystal Wall and punched him, shattering the "Pluto's" newly formed body and returning him to the state of the "Book of Demons." Demons in this state are the most vulnerable, and any damage to the book would be fatal to them.
"Let me give it a try. After absorbing those demons, I feel stronger than ever before. Although this Hades is very strong, I may not be unable to accept it. I'm already in the zone."
Mirajane's eyes lit up as she looked at the "Book of Demons." She couldn't wait any longer. This "King of the Underworld," Maldo Gil, was indeed stronger than other demons and would bring her a significant boost.
"Then let's give it a try."
Moen nodded. He could also see that Mirajane was in excellent condition. The demons were like food to her. She had absorbed the eight demons from the "Nine Ghost Gates" and become even stronger.
"Buzz!!!"
Mirajane walked over, stretched out her hands, and began to receive the "Book of Demons".
This time it did take longer than the previous times, but Mirajane was in a stable condition and was clearly receiving the treatment carefully and methodically, without encountering any trouble.
Moen stood by Mirajane's side, his expression calm and not worried at all, because he had already seen the results in advance: Mirajane had successfully received "Pluto" Maldo Gil.
Sure enough, after a short while, the "Book of Demons" disappeared, and Mirajane breathed a sigh of relief, her expression relaxing.
"It worked?"
Moen asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Yes! Success! This is a huge success. Not only did we get those demons, but we also got this Netherworld Beast. Now it belongs to Fairy Tail! A moving monster island!"
Mirajane composed herself and answered Moen with great excitement.
Now this "Nether Beast" has completely become the property of "Fairy Tail". Not only can it be controlled by "Command Spells", but now she can also control this "Nether Beast" like "Pluto" Maldo Gil. She has become the one who provides the "Nether Beast" with magical power, so naturally she can make the "Nether Beast" obey her orders.
"Great, now we have two secret bases."
Moen responded to Mirajane with a smile, or rather, "Underworld Island" has now become their new secret base, and "Sirius Island" is no longer a secret base that outsiders cannot approach.
"Then we'd better hide this Netherworld Island well."
Mirajane looked serious, as if she was thinking about where to move "Underworld Island".
Moen didn't answer; his mind was already on the system. The moment "Hades" Maldo Gil was successfully received, the mission success notification popped up.
[Ding! Mission complete.]
Mission Title: "The Gates of Hades and the Strongest Demon!"
Task progress:
Mission 1: Destroy the "Gateway to the Underworld" (Completed)
Mission Two: Protect the "Book of END," which is vital to Natsu's life, from destruction. (Completed)
mission rewards:
Task 1: Random Gold Cloth; Task 2: Blood of God. Do you want to claim the task rewards? Rewards can be claimed separately.
Looking at the quest panel, Moen's heart settled back down. Now that the quest was complete, it meant that the demons would no longer be able to cause any trouble, and Mirajane would not suffer any backlash.
This is the best outcome. If Mirajane were to suffer some backlash from the demons she received, that would be truly distressing.
"Let's go."
Moen didn't rush to claim the mission rewards, but instead planned to return to the guild first. Of course, before that, he needed to find a place for "Netherworld Island".
Moen and Mirajane returned to the "Core of Hell" and called Silver and Gray to inform them of their current situation.
"I'm quite familiar with this Underworld Island; I can stay."
When the topic of settling on "Underworld Island" came up, Silver Fullpasta immediately volunteered. He offered to stay on "Underworld Island" to guard the place and direct the "Underworld Beasts" to find a place to settle.
"That would be perfect."
Moen nodded. That was the advantage of having a defector "traitor"—at least Silver Fullpasta knew the area better than they did.
"Oh! By the way, the Netherworld Beast reported that there's still one demon we haven't dealt with!"
Mirajane, who was instructing the "Netherworld Beast" to obey Silver Fullpasta's commands, suddenly cried out. The next second, a group of identical-looking girls were spat out of the ground by the "Netherworld Beast," who turned out to be a group of demons who looked exactly like Rami from before.
