Chapter 189: Scarlet Death, Attacking the Tower of Heaven
Chapter 189: Scarlet Death, Attacking the Tower of Heaven
Ten years ago.
A magical order that believes in Dark Magic to activate forbidden magic that can awaken the dead.
And start building Tower of Heaven.
But the building of the Tower of Heaven was not permitted by the Senate.
Unable to openly recruit labor force,
So the Order of Dark Magic began to plunder manpower from everywhere.
Elders, children, etc...
Let them work as slaves.
That's how Erza, who was nine years old at the time, was caught in the tower.
There, Erza met fellow slaves Jellal, Hugh, Simon, Millianna, Wally the cube, and a kind old grandfather named Rob.
Rob used to be a sorcerer, so he has seen many outside worlds.
During rest time,
Rob always tells everyone about the strange world outside.
And this also planted a seed of yearning for freedom for a kind of miserable children.
However, there is no freedom in this tower.
Some are just endless scolding, and the sound of whip whipping.
All of this further stimulates this group of children who yearn for freedom.
They want to walk carefree on the vast land.
I want to run freely under the blue sky.
Want to learn magic, want to fly like a bird.
They long for such freedom!
Finally, under that extreme oppression, they began to resist.
At that time, 22 Jellal, the oldest and the most righteous among the group of children, became the leader of the crowd.
War is imminent.
The resistance of these people who, in Avatar's eyes, is just a group of slaves, is extremely fierce.
It even suppressed Avatar for a time.
But with the arrival of their magic soldiers, the tide of the war began to be reversed.
The slaves fled everywhere.
Under the attack of the magic soldiers, their resistance seemed so powerless.
Even Jellal got caught.
But young Erza didn't give up, she knew very well.
If you don't fight, you can never win.
However, despite her hard work, she was eventually targeted by the magic soldiers.
The overwhelming magic missiles hit Erza.
As if to wipe it out completely.
However, the old man who led him to freedom stepped forward at this time.
Stopped in front of Erza.
A violent roar and a blazing fire,
Illuminated the fairy-like coat of arms behind the old man.
The old man named Rob used the afterglow of his life,
With that thin body, it turned into an invincible barrier at a critical moment.
And it opens up the infinite possibilities of Erza!
Anger, despair, lamentation.
It eventually evolved into an extreme desire for freedom.
That day, Erza cried bitterly.
A hysterical cry seemed to resound throughout the Tower of Heaven.
It also strengthened Erza's heart!
Thus, the magic belonging to Erza was born.
In just a split second, he controlled countless swords and defeated all the magic soldiers standing in front of her.
Erza, who has mastered this power, has even begun to fantasize.
It is with this power that true freedom can be found.
18......
But she didn't know that what awaited her was despair that was far more painful than now!
Erza came to the place where Jellal was being held.
and rescued Jellal,
However, at this time, Jellal did not know what happened.
It's like a person has changed.
He no longer needs that false freedom.
The real freedom he needs is in Zeref's world!
He sent out an invitation to Erza.
Invite Erza to build the Tower of Heaven together to resurrect Zeref.
Then go to the real free world.
Undoubtedly, such a request was rejected by Erza.
Jellal wasn't angry about this either.
instead expelled Erza,
Let her enjoy the so-called false freedom.
And threatening the lives of Hugh and others, Erza is not allowed to take a step closer to the Tower of Heaven.
The rest of the ships were then blown up, and Erza was framed.
This is to arouse the hatred of those who did not escape.
Naturally, through people's anger,
Jellal started promoting his twisted dreams.
Only when Zeref is resurrected can they be truly free.
Desperate people with no ships to flee have no choice.
Can only desperately grasp the faint hope.
attempt to be truly free.
This is the secret Erza has been hiding for ten years.
Now, it has finally surfaced.
Erza turned his head and looked at Simon: "Actually, I haven't been able to save you... I'm really sorry.
"But Erza, you're doing it for them," Lucy said indignantly.
"Okay, Lucy." Erza interrupted Lucy.
After a moment of silence, he said: "At least from the results, I did betray them..."
"What kind of betrayal is this?" Mirajane said angrily.
"Yes, the essence of this matter, Lord Erza is a victim! Juvia also spoke up.
Look at the people who are filled with righteous indignation.
Simon sighed: "I actually know all this..."
"I've always believed in Erza, and I've always believed that you're not a betrayal of your comrades."
Speaking of this, the corners of Simon's mouth rose slightly.
"As I said just now, I have been waiting for your mighty group of mages to gather.
"For the sake of this day, I have also been pretending to be deceived by Jellal.
"Simon, you..." Erza stared blankly at the figure in front of him.
"Thank you so much for believing in me." He took a deep breath.
Erza refreshed her mood.
Looking at the crowd, Erza's determination was spoken in a firm tone!
"This time, I won't be running away!"
"I'm going to Tower of Heaven to find Jellal for a break!"
"You're not alone, Erza." Luo Xingchen, who was listening quietly, said.
"That's right, can you do it without me?
Mirajane, who was standing on the side, put her arms around her arms and said.
"Juvia will try her best too!" Juvia raised her small fist.
"If that's the case, then I'll go too! I can fight anyway!" Lucy looked at Erza and said.
"You..." Erza wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Everyone! No good! Natsu got caught!
At this moment, Gray, who was looking for Natsu, hurried in by himself.
Shout out to the crowd.
"what?!!
Above the endless sea.
A small boat carrying Luo Xingchen and others is constantly floating on the sea.
"So, by the time you arrived at 750, Natsu and "Happy" had disappeared?"
The hurried crowd didn't have time to ask Gray for specifics until now.
Gray nodded and took a note from his trouser pocket.
"This is a note found at the scene that not only said Natsu was taken away by them, but even marked the location of the Tower of Heaven for us.
"And also said that if you want to rescue Natsu, you have to go with Erza."5
Listening to Gray's words, Luo Xingchen frowned slightly.
Filled with doubts, he said:
"That guy Natsu...how did he get caught?""
Indeed, Luo Xingchen does not believe,
The cube-faced Wally can really take Natsu away.
In the original book, Erza can be taken away,
All because Erza didn't have the slightest fighting spirit.
Although Natsu is weaker than Erza.
But...you won't be caught alive, will you?
"Who knows, maybe he was attacked and knocked unconscious," Gray said, wrapping his arms around him.
"Don't they have that teleportation orb?" Mirajane said.
"It is possible that he was transported to the ship with him, and Natsu would not have the strength to resist. 35
"Forget it, in short, we are going to the Tower of Heaven, and we also aim to destroy that place. It just so happens that the other party's actions also agree with us. Luo Xingchen interrupted the entanglement of several people.
Shen Sheng said: "Everything, wait until Tower of Heaven is talking!"
"Coming soon!"
Simon, who had been standing on the bow and grasping the direction, made a sound at this time.
Indeed, as Simon said.
Everyone could already vaguely see the towering tower.
