Chapter 140 Departure (Updated)
The battle ended with Brunot being severely injured by freezing.
Weiss won the battle, and his strength was recognized by everyone. No one dared to underestimate this new strong man.
Even Lastiros, who had provoked him at the beginning, stopped because of this battle and stopped making rash moves.
Although Weiss won the battle, his position in the "Devil's Heart" was a bit delicate.
Although defeating the vice president proved his strength, because he was a new face, many people were not familiar with his personality and temper, so they kept a certain distance from him, respecting him but also with reservations.
But these were not what Weiss cared about. He came here not to fight for power, but out of the ultimate pursuit of magic.
After this battle, Hades also showed Weiss a rare generosity and taught him the practice method of "Arc of Time" without reservation.
But even so, Weiss still felt unsatisfied.
The seven followers of Purgatory mastered extremely rare and powerful lost magic, and he wanted all of them to perfect his magic reserves.
Unfortunately, he was rejected by Hades, and he was not completely wary of Weiss.
So Weiss proposed a bold idea to exchange magic for magic.
At first, Hades didn't care about it. After all, he had traveled on the continent for many years. What kind of magic had he not seen?
When Weiss took out the rune-covered "Black Book of the Dead" from his arms, Hades' attitude changed all of a sudden.
This ancient book records the black magic that is different from this world, as well as the terrifying spells of resurrecting the dead, which deeply attracted him.
Hades' eyes became hot, as if he wanted to devour the book.
Weiss knew that the value of the "Black Book of the Dead" was unparalleled. If he was not sure that he could escape from Hades' hands, he would never take it out easily.
Hades naturally realized this, and he was unwilling to give up this tempting book.
After some inner struggle, Hades finally made a decision.
He pinched his nose, as if he had made a great concession, and then reached a deal with Weiss, exchanging the other six rare magics he mastered for this "Black Book of the Dead".
As for whether the value of this transaction is equal, the two have their own calculations.
Weiss got the powerful magic he dreamed of, and Hades had a secret weapon that could change the pattern of the continent.
In this process, they both thought they had taken advantage and achieved their respective goals.
Perhaps, in this world where the strong are respected, the exchange of interests is far more attractive than pure power.
In the following time, Weiss and Hades locked themselves in their respective rooms and indulged in the newly acquired magic.
Weiss was particularly obsessed with studying the "Arc of Manifestation", which he thought was the most interesting of the seven lost magics.
Whenever he waved his fingers lightly, there would be a strange light flashing in the void, as if he could touch the existence of another dimension.
One day, Weiss was immersed in magic learning, and the airship suddenly began to shake. He stopped his movements and looked out the window.
The airship slowly rose and soon came into the air. White clouds floated past the window, and it was unknown where the huge airship was flying.
As Weiss stared at the sea of clouds outside the window, there was a regular knocking sound outside the door.
"Dong~"
"Dong~"
"Dong~"
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and an envoy hurried in: "Lord Weiss, the president has called everyone to a meeting."
After saying that, the envoy gently closed the door and left.
Weiss narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly calculated the time in his heart.
[It seems that we are going to attack Tianlang Island. ]
Weiss sorted out his thoughts and got up to go to the conference room.
When he arrived, he found that everyone had gathered, and only Brunot, who was still recovering from his injuries, was not present.
"Since everyone is here, let's get started directly." Hades slammed the scepter in his hand heavily on the ground.
"There are two goals for this operation," Hades continued, "The first is to welcome Zeref, and the second is to destroy Fairy Tail."
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference hall was boiling, and everyone began to discuss.
"Zerf, the legendary strongest wizard!"
"Is he really still alive? He must be hundreds of years old now!"
"..."
The ordinary members heard about these things for the first time. The name Zeref was like a distant myth to them, but now it has suddenly become a part of reality.
No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!
"Silence!"
Hades rang the scepter in his hand again, and the hall was instantly quiet.
"Our goal is Tenrou Island, set off immediately!"
Hades reported an exact coordinate after he finished speaking.
In order to ensure that everyone understood the importance of the mission, Hades took out a detailed map, which recorded all the information about Tenrou Island, the terrain, and the personnel information of Fairy Tail.
[Sure enough, no matter how strict the defense is, it is difficult to resist the internal threat. If Hades wasn't there, it would take a lot of time and effort just to find the location of Tenrou Island. 】
Tenrou Island is the secret base of the Fairy Tail Guild, and its location is extremely hidden, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it.
The outer periphery of the island and the land contain powerful magic, so it is not easy to be discovered by the outside world.
However, with the second generation of Fairy Tail leading the way, everything is so easy.
Hades stood at the bow, as if everything was under control.
Next, Hades simply arranged the battle plan. He did not take Fairy Tail seriously, so the battle plan was very rough and simple.
If it were not for Zeref, there would be no need to mobilize so many troops.
After a day and a night of flying, the airship finally left the land and sailed into the vast ocean.
The sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the sparkling sea. On the sea, the blue sky and white clouds and the blue water complemented each other, making it difficult to tell whether the airship was flying in the sky or on the sea.
Just as everyone was immersed in such a beautiful view, someone suddenly announced loudly:
"A fleet was spotted below!"
The voice of another lookout resounded throughout the airship:
"It's the Council's fleet!!"
"Enter stealth mode."
As Hades issued a series of instructions, the airship entered stealth mode, and its existence was almost unrecognizable to the naked eye.
At the same time, the magic device inside the airship began to operate, minimizing all magic fluctuations to ensure that no unnecessary attention would be attracted.
Zankro looked at the Council's fleet below and asked in confusion: "Why did the Council's army appear here?"
