Chapter 585 Chase's luck with women is truly extraordinary.
"In other words, you not only wiped out the last and strongest part of the Balam Alliance, the Gates of Hell, but also—"
"Even the legendary phoenix, a monster said to bring destruction to the world, was dealt with in one fell swoop?"
After hearing the whole story, even Ultear couldn't help but twitch her lips and unconsciously rub her temples with her fingertips.
First is the gates of the underworld.
In the current turbulent world situation, the Ten Councils have long wanted to eliminate this unstable factor that threatens the safety of Ishgar as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the other party does not have a fixed headquarters, and even after taking down several of its affiliated dark guilds, they could not find any particularly useful information.
Unexpectedly, they secretly joined forces with former Speaker Crawford to plan the summoning of the demonic phoenix in order to force the Council to use the extremely dangerous "Fez"!
Even more unexpectedly, due to a series of unforeseen events, we were completely wiped out by Fairy Tail here!
And then there's the demonic phoenix.
During the Demon Village incident, when Chase wanted to bring the Phoenix Priestess to Fairy Tail, she used her position to steal the "Exorcising Arrow," which could completely destroy the Phoenix, in order to prevent the Phoenix from reappearing in the world.
Makarov then told her that the phoenix, having achieved rebirth, was blasted apart by Chess with a single punch—
If Ultear hadn't known Fairy Tail inside and out, she would have even arrested these guys who were spouting nonsense on the spot!
"As expected of Fairy Tail, they've only been back for a short time and they've already caused such a big commotion."
Melty, whose hair had grown a little more, smiled and shook her head, her voice a mix of helplessness and self-assurance, her long pink hair swaying gently in the night breeze.
"However, the destruction at the scene is far too severe. The entire capital of the duchy is no more. This will be difficult to explain to the council."
Gerald looked around, his brow furrowed, his blue eyes reflecting the devastated ruins.
Both he and Melty wore dark-colored uniforms, with only the Council badge on their chests proving their identities as the Council Dark Purge Force!
Behind them, Dark Night Markbeth, Angel Sono, Cobra Eric, and others, who were also members of the "Dark Side," all showed different complex expressions.
The fate of Tartaros brought back some unpleasant memories for the former Oración Seis, and they were also grateful for the opportunity to atone for their sins. At the same time, they were worried about the judgment that Fairy Tail would face next.
"Ahem, well, no residents were injured in this battle!"
Makarov skipped over the extent of the damage with a guilty look, his gray beard trembling slightly, his gaze shifting uncertainly. "Yes, that's right! Chase protected everyone!"
"But that doesn't change the fact that you destroyed the entire city," Urudia said, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.
She and the Dark Purge team were only here to scout the situation; Lahar's force was on its way.
That guy isn't as easy to talk to as they are.
"Me? It shouldn't be—you bunch of brats!!"
Makarov keenly noticed something amiss in Urutia's words. He turned around and saw that everyone, including his grandson Lagusas, had quietly retreated to an area a dozen meters behind them!
Under the moonlight, the group of figures stood neatly in the distance, their faces bearing expressions that said, "Grandpa, you've worked hard, we won't disturb you any longer."
He was left all alone, an old man, shivering in the night wind!
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Chess stepped forward and smiled at Ultear, saying, "Isn't it because you're here?"
Upon seeing this, the elderly man, living alone, was immediately moved to tears, his eyes reddening: "Chess, you rascal, you rascal—"
"Please, I'm here on behalf of the Council to investigate you. Do you expect me to clean up your messes?" Ultear frowned slightly, putting her hands on her hips as if to appear serious.
"What a heartless woman. In that case, I'll have to talk to everyone about how you treated Uru in the past—"
""
Before Chess could finish speaking, Ultear appeared in front of him in a flash, so fast that she left only a blur.
"I know, I know, you'd better keep those embarrassing things to yourself!" Ultear reached out and covered his mouth tightly.
Seeing this, the Oración Seis Generals behind him couldn't help but wonder: as his apparent superior, Ultear always had a cold and mature face. He never blushed, nor did he ever show the most basic loss of composure.
My curiosity was uncontrollably piqued.
In contrast, Gerald and Melty, who knew the general situation, simply smiled, exchanged a glance, and tacitly refrained from saying anything more.
"That's right! Ultear can use the Arc of Time to restore the town to its original state!"
After being moved, Makarov realized what had happened and his old face beamed with a smile like a chrysanthemum, his wrinkles smoothing out.
In this way, the destruction of the town is eliminated, and all residents and tourists are preserved. Even if the council wants to deliberately find fault, it will have no excuse!
"It's possible, but it would take a long time and cause a lot of damage."
Ultear released her hand from Chess's mouth, her palm pausing in the air before retracting it. After a quick assessment of the area, she sighed helplessly, "I alone cannot fully restore him."
"It's alright, I can provide magical replenishment, and you're not alone."
Chase waved to the crowd behind him. "Lucy, step forward."
"Here!" Lucy strode forward with great enthusiasm, her face beaming with pride, her chest puffed out, radiating an aura of smugness.
Although he didn't use his ultimate move in this battle, he shocked everyone by unconditionally summoning Big Beard Daddy using the Arc of Time.
But this feeling of "showing off" is quite nice now: whatever Chess or Bahamut, when it comes down to it, it's always Watashi who has to clean up the mess!
"Damn it, Lucy stole all the limelight!"
Natsu clenched his fist in envy and jealousy, flames flickering on his knuckles. "Happy, you go learn Arc of Time too!"
"Love? Why us?" Happy was completely bewildered, and the dried fish slipped from his paws.
As they were talking, Lucy and Ultear had already gotten into position, standing facing each other with their fingers intertwined, their impressive cleavage pressed together.
Magic surged rapidly within the two girls, causing a gentle breeze to lift their long, flowing hair of different colors.
Beside him, Chase held a Trap Card - Stamina Enhancer, ready to provide support at any moment. He flipped the card between his fingers, and the golden patterns were faintly visible.
"Are you ready, Lucy?" Ultear asked, her gaze as calm as a lake.
"Yes!" Lucy nodded emphatically, her eyes resolute.
"Then let's begin—"
"Arc of Time, activate!" x2
hum!
Two shouts rang out simultaneously, and the lost magic circle engraved with ancient totems activated beneath their feet. A white pillar of light shot into the sky, stirring up the clouds and parting the dark night, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
As Lucy and Ultear unleashed their full magical power, the Arc of Time magic circle rapidly expanded and extended, instantly covering the entire ruins of the capital city of the Principality of Veronica.
White light flowed across every inch of land like ripples on water. Then, time began to flow backward, and the ruins of various buildings returned to their original positions along the tracks of destruction.
Broken bricks and stones flew up from the ground and reassembled in mid-air. Collapsed walls stood up like a reversed film. Houses, streets, and public spaces were rebuilt at a visible speed, with every brick and tile returning to its original position.
Trees regenerate, rivers reappear, green leaves sprout anew from withered branches, and clear river water rushes merrily.
Colorful ribbons fluttered in the wind, and the neatly arranged shops and stores on the surrounding streets recreated the prosperity and excitement of the National Day celebrations!
In just a few dozen seconds, the capital of the Principality of Veronica was restored to its original state, as if the earth-shattering war had never happened.
"Wow, both Ultear and Lucy are amazing!"
Wendy looked around at the scene and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, her little hands covering her chest and her eyes sparkling.
"Suddenly I feel that the Arc of Time that Chess suggested Lucy learn is super useful. I don't have to worry about destroying things anymore!"
'
"Feed Lucy, let's do commissions together next time~"
"Lucy, be a man! Ultear, be a man!!"
Even though they were used to all sorts of grand scenes, the group was still amazed by this incredible magic.
Even with the two of them working together, and with Chase's help, it's still a bit of an overstatement.
After all, that was an entire capital city!
"Hehehe, it's nothing special, just a piece of cake for Vadashi~"
Lucy proudly touched her nose, her eyes curving into crescents; if she had a tail, it would definitely be sticking up to the sky.
However, before he could enjoy his triumph for long, the dizziness from the depletion of his magic rushed to his brain, and the world before his eyes began to spin.
She stumbled and fell straight down the restored street.
Chase, who was closest, reacted quickly and caught her, his arm firmly around her waist, preventing her from hitting her head on the ground.
"Hey, before you get all cocky, can't you save some magic for yourself?" Chase sighed helplessly, looking at the pale-faced girl, his lips twitching slightly.
He can't even pretend to be cool, so how did he end up with such a stupid little sister?
Lucy blushed slightly, pouted, and stubbornly remained silent, her gaze darting away.
It's all because of you, you show-off card player!
The girl silently chanted in her heart, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of his clothes.
"Look at Urutia, she's much more composed than you—"
Before he could finish speaking, Chess's vision suddenly went dark.
Urudia also collapsed, her body limp and leaning forward, landing right in his arms.
"I'm sorry, but it will take more magic power to completely restore the town to its original state than I expected."
Urudia said apologetically, her voice much softer than usual.
Chase: "————"
He remained frozen in place, arms outstretched, one arm around Lucy and the other around Ultear, as if petrified.
"Oh my, Chase is surprisingly popular with women." A teasing voice came from behind.
Mira wore her signature demonic smile, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous light; that smile was so gentle it sent chills down your spine.
"Thirty seconds, forty seconds, one minute, the warning level has been exceeded!"
Erza crossed her arms and stared warily at Lucy, especially Ultear.
Two sharp, sinister gazes, as keen as knives, stared down from behind, piercing Chase's back like a physical blade, sending chills down his spine.
As Chess, overwhelmed by the aura of the village's official girlfriend, loudly proclaimed his innocence, Fairy Tail's special operation against Tartaros and the demon Phoenix ended with a perfectly fitting conclusion.
However, the Council of Representatives is a hurdle they cannot avoid.
Under Makarov's troubled and helpless instructions, the magical weapon Nirvana took to the air, its large body casting a moving shadow in the moonlight, and led the Fairy Tail members and Ultear and others to the headquarters of the Ten Wizard Saints at full speed.
Until the outline of Nirvana completely disappeared into the night, dark gold card magic circles lit up in the capital of the Principality of Veronica.
The missing residents and tourists all reappeared unharmed in their original locations, as if they had just had a brief and strange dream.
"Ugh, I feel a little dizzy. What just happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?"
The shooting range owner shook his dizzy head, rubbed his eyes, and stared thoughtfully at the bustling street. "Where's that cute blue-haired girl? Oh, and that stunning beauty with a gorgeous figure and face!"
He scratched his head, feeling as if he had missed something important.
Inside the clothing store, warm lights shone on all kinds of gorgeous clothes.
"The wedding dress that was the store's prized possession finally found a worthy owner."
Recalling the female mage who had so decisively pulled out her wallet without a second thought, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh, "It's been so long since I've had such a generous customer. I wonder which lucky bastard Yu is to have married such a wife!"
He gently stroked the hanger where the wedding dress had once been, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
In front of the church, moonlight streamed through the stained glass windows, casting dappled patterns on the ground.
"Huh? Where's Lord Bahamut? Did that damned woman who cut in line kidnap him?!"
The female fans of the minibus were so angry that they stomped their feet, their high heels tapping rapidly on the stone slabs.
The event square features a stone sculpture of the former king.
The guards stood in a circle with solemn expressions, their spears gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
"Quickly! Notify headquarters immediately! We absolutely cannot let that perverted couple tarnish the image of our principality!" the captain-like man ordered urgently.
The restaurant in the East District was dimly lit and warm.
"Hmph, that village Fairy Tail mage is smart enough to know better than to dine and dash and then not work to pay off his debts—"
The restaurant owner silently collected the money he had placed on the table, and snorted coldly, "I'm definitely going to write a complaint to the council!"
He carefully put the money into his apron pocket, then turned around and continued wiping the already gleaming counter.
Aside from the inexplicable arrival of nighttime, the entire town was exactly the same as when the strongest squad first entered the city, with the lively and prosperous atmosphere of the duchy's celebrations visible everywhere.
The lights flickered in the night, vendors' cries rose and fell, children held out candy and weaved through the crowd, their cheerful voices echoing in the night breeze.
Strictly speaking, reputation is not entirely accurate.
In the royal castle, candlelight flickered in the corridors, casting long shadows that swayed across the walls.
"Oh no! Oh no! His Highness has suddenly disappeared!!"
The guards' terrified shouts shattered the castle's tranquility, and hurried footsteps echoed on the stone steps as squads of soldiers, carrying torches, searched the castle grounds.
After obtaining another Phoenix Stone from Krim, the kind-hearted Natsu and his companions did not kill the prince, even though his target was a guild member.
Unfortunately, when the Netherworld Beast was shot down, it landed right in the area where the castle was located.
So in some unnoticed corner, Prince Krim had long since become a pile of mud in the ruins—the arc of time cannot affect the living!
