Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 110 Proverbs Ark
"Deep in the Island of Gods".

Huge and twisted green vines reach straight into the sky, with no end in sight, and are obscured by the clouds above.

At its roots, the ruins of an ancient city stand quietly, covered by countless dust and vegetation, and no trace of its former glory can be seen.

This is the city where the Shandia people lived a long time ago, but it has been abandoned for many years.

Walking along the avenue of the ancient ruins, you can see a huge and deep cave, just like a ferocious beast, devouring the residents of the sky island who line up to enter.

These Sky Island residents had heavy shackles on their ankles, which made rattling sounds when they walked. Their faces were filled with endless fatigue, their bodies were covered with new and old scars from whipping, and the small wings on their backs were stained with blood.

Even so, they did not dare to utter a single cry or resist, simply because the "Four Priests" were right beside them.

Under the supervision and urging of the "Four Priests", this group of sky island residents from "Angel Island" had to go into the cave and start a whole day of "hard work".

The "Four Priests" watched the last person enter the cave, glanced at each other, and then slowly followed.

"Those guys from Shandia are really relentless. They even broke into the Island of Gods again yesterday... It's a shame we couldn't take down that guy called 'War Ghost' Wappa."

"And then there's that former 'God' Gan Ful, who keeps messing around. These two guys are like two flies, flitting around the Island of the Gods, impossible to drive away."

"How can you say that? If they are flies, then what is the Island of Gods? And what are we, the priests who live on the Island of Gods and support Enel-sama, then?"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft... I said the wrong thing... Well, actually, as long as Lord Enel activates the 'Heart Net', Walpa and Gan Ful will definitely not be able to escape the 'Judgment of God'..."

"Lord Enel must have his own reasons for doing this. As priests, we only need to obey his orders."

"That's true. The most important thing right now is the construction of the 'Ark of Proverbs'. With just the last part left, Master Enel will take us aboard it and journey to the legendary 'Infinite Land'."

"I heard that the Infinite Land is the abode of the gods. I'm so excited... Only Enel-sama can do such a thing."

When the Four Priests said this, they bowed respectfully towards the empty space, expressing their reverence and gratitude.

This kind of occasional gratitude has become a part of their daily life.

When they walked deep into the cave, they saw an extremely large ship lying quietly at the bottom of the canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides.

This ship is named "Proverbs Ark". Its main structure is made of gold and tree trunks, forming a huge power unit.

The oars extending from the holes and the propellers protruding from the side of the ship were also unusually large, as if preparing for an unprecedented voyage.

The residents of Angel Island who were captured by the "Four Priests" are building this "Ark of Proverbs". Now there is basically only the finishing work left, and it will be completely completed in less than half a month.

The "Four Priests" naturally want to complete the mission as quickly as possible and receive the reward from the "God" Enel-sama.

So they forced these Angel Island residents to work hard and were unwilling to give them even time to rest or drink water.

If anyone tries to slack off, they will either insult or threaten them, or even whip them.

This group of Angel Island residents are different from the Sandia warriors. They wear strange insect-like antennae on their heads, have weak bodies, and are just ordinary people without much fighting power.

The Shandia warriors had obviously received extensive training, which was why they had such strong physiques and were so skilled in using the "Shock Shells".

Shock Shells are one of Sky Island's specialty shells. These shells can collect certain items and then release them.

What "Impact Shells" collect and release is naturally impact.

Operating it requires certain skills, and also involves certain pain and danger.

First-time users may dislocate their arms accidentally.

Its fully upgraded version, the "Repulse Shell", can release ten times the power of the "Impact Shell", but the recoil it withstands is also extremely terrifying and can even be fatal.

The Angel Island residents who were working before them could neither use "Shock Shells" nor possess any similar shell weapons.

Before they came in, they had already discarded all the shells during the body search.

However, even if they possessed the "Impact Shell", they would not be a match for the "Four Priests" before them.

The "Four Priests" are Ohm, Shura, Shadli, and Gedaz, who are in charge of the four major trials.

Currently, in the entire White Sea, only the "War Ghost" Wapa and the "Former God" Gan Forneng can barely fight the "Four Priests" in a one-on-one battle.

It is simply a pipe dream for the residents of Angel Island to defeat the "Four Priests".

Even if the Angel Island residents tried their best and really achieved the feat of defeating the "Four Priests" in one fell swoop, they would still have to face stronger and more terrifying opponents.

That is the "God" Enel who snatched Gan Fowl's position as "God" several years ago, occupied the Island of Gods, and ruled here.

It can be said that even if the "Four Priests", Wapa and Gan Ful put aside all their grievances and joined forces in an incredible way, they would still not be a match for Enel.

The gap in strength is just this big.

Therefore, when Enel did whatever he wanted and implemented dictatorial tyranny on several sky islands such as the Island of Gods and Angel Island, no one could resist him.

If they even had the slightest thought of resistance, they would be wiped out by the "God's Punishment" sent down from the sky.

This is already a quick way to die.

Even worse was being thrown into the Island of Gods, where he had to participate in the "Trial of the Four Priests," undergoing life-threatening ordeals.

"Trial of the Four Priests", so far, the trial path with the highest survival rate is only 50%, and the lowest trial path is 0%, which shows how brutal the entire trial is.

The constant fear that weighs on the residents of Sky Island makes most of them submit to Eneel's rule.

They see no hope.

The only ones still willing to resist are Gan Fowl, who wants to protect and liberate Sky Island, and the indigenous people of the Island of the Gods - the Shandians, who want to take back their homeland.

Because the "Four Priests" support Enel's reign of terror and possess their own strength, they can also do whatever they want on these sky islands.

The residents of Angel Island were used to being bullied by them, and now they were captured and taken to the bottom of the canyon deep in the cave to build the "Ark of Proverbs", and they could only accept it helplessly.
