Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 17 The Ultimate Spell: Memory of Death
Maldo raised his left hand slightly, and a plant broke out of the soil. The outstretched branches and vines wrapped around the Book of END in his palm, supporting and holding up this demonic book.

He knew very well that he could not fight a monster of Endymion's level while protecting the book that contained all the hope of Hades' Gate.

At the same time, he was also very clear that Endymion had the ability to take the Book of END from him or directly destroy the Book of END. The former was still acceptable, but the latter was something he could not accept.

Therefore, Maldo had to compromise in some aspects.

"If you are truly the so-called 'Twelve Holy Shields', you should know how important this book is to Master Zeref. Let's fight somewhere else so as not to damage it."

"The outcome of this battle will determine its ownership, and will also determine the freedom of the Gate of the Underworld and the Nine Ghosts. I am willing to make such a contract and deal with you. How is it?"

Maldor and Hades Gate were actually at a disadvantage in their battle with Endymion.

If Endymion ignored them, separated them, and let them reincarnate endlessly in the Demon Castle, it would be a nightmare experience even for demons.

Maldo certainly didn't want this outcome, so he proposed a contract and a deal.

If Maldo wins, Endymion will set them free. If Endymion wins, Maldo will help Endymion and persuade the Gate of the Underworld to stay in Demon City and become Endymion's subordinate.

The benefit of this contract and transaction is that both routes are of considerable benefit to the Gate of the Underworld.

There is no need to say much about the former, and even for the latter, they can continue the route of awakening the Book of END in Castlevania, and even have the opportunity to go to the Albareth Empire and meet Lord Zeref.

However, the price of the latter is that they will lose their freedom and become subordinates of Endymion, unable to slaughter living beings at will.

Maldo now believes Endymion's identity as the Guardian of the Twelve Shields to about 70% of the time. What still bothers him and even makes him resist is, of course, the title of the Guardian of the Twelve Shields.

He can protect the Saint, and he can also be Lord Zeref's shield, even though the ultimate goal of these demons is to kill Lord Zeref - the two are surprisingly not in conflict.

Even though Maldo roughly deduced that Endymion was very powerful, he still planned to fight with Endymion. He was unwilling to be excluded from the Twelve Shields.

He also couldn't believe how big the gap was between him and Endymion.

Endymion quickly understood Mardo's idea and agreed. He used Silver's finger to open a door for the two to pass through.

The Book of END and the strange plant were left in front of the bloody mouth of the underworld beast Alegria.

After passing through the Anywhere Gate, they came to a white desert. The sky was also gray, but the space was significantly larger than any previous space.

Endymion explained:
"In Castlevania, there are six types of rooms. Among them, the 'Heart Room' on the top floor and the 'Graveyard Room' on the bottom floor are the largest."

"Next is the 'Chief's Room,' which is this area specially arranged for leaders like you. As long as you wish, you can modify this place as you wish in the future."

"Next are the 'Elite Rooms', which are the spaces allocated to the 'Nine Ghost Gate Members'. Finally, there are the 'Ordinary Rooms' and the 'Bonfire Rooms'."

Maldo looked around the dim space, smiled, and said:
"In that case, I have to thank you for your 'special treatment'. However, whether I and the Nine Ghost Gate members can enjoy this special treatment is still uncertain."

He didn't waste any more words and immediately released a burst of dark magic power.

His once gentle, slender figure rapidly transformed, patches of black hair and shells clinging to his body, his human face and form replaced by a demonic form. Maldor didn't hesitate, immediately employing his "Atelius Form," his wings slowly spreading out behind him.

Now he looks like a human-shaped bat.

The spell he was good at was called "Thorn Spell", which was a spell that could drive the plants of the underworld. However, he was very clear at this time that this level of spell was not enough to deal with the enemy in front of him.

It seems that I have to use that spell.

In fact, Maldo did not completely bet all possibilities on END. He also developed an ultimate spell that could be coordinated with END and could destroy Lord Zeref.

It's called "Memory of Death·Death Warning"!
Maldor's spells involve the underworld extensively. The underworld beasts and plants he controls come from the underworld. The Hell Core Contract needs to pass through the underworld, and the memory of death also originates from the underworld.

The ultimate spell, Memory of Death, will cause the attacked object to fall into a state of "nothingness" that is neither alive nor dead.

He believed that this would allow him to circumvent the "Curse of the God Anxelram" and actually kill Lord Zeref.

Of course, Maldo has not yet completed this ultimate spell. It was not until the battle with Natsu and Gray in X791 that he completely perfected it and used it.

Now he couldn't care less about so many things. No matter how unstable the memory of death was, he had to use it and make a final attempt.

Maldo lightly stroked his finger, and a vortex of the underworld suddenly opened in mid-air. With a whoosh, a vine like a battering ram rushed out from the vortex of the underworld!
His thorn spell needs to be connected to the underworld, so it more or less involves the laws of space.

The moment the vortex of the underworld appeared, Endymion saw through the mystery at a glance and pointed at the black vortex.

A random door covers the vortex of the underworld, blocking it. Then, everything that comes out of the vortex of the underworld will enter the random door and go somewhere else.

The battering ram-sized underworld vine that had already flown towards Endymion lost its momentum due to the freezing cold of the Ice Demon-Destroying Spell and fell to the ground with a thud.

As the ice fragments flew, Endymion noticed that Maldor had opened more whirlpools of the underworld near him, and all kinds of resentful dark auras poured out from them.

Maldo had already flashed to within a hundred meters of him, raising his claws as if offering a sacrifice.

If this trick doesn't work on him, I have no other options!

The cursed power of the memory of death burst out from the ground, enveloping Endymion and soaring into the sky!
boom--

The cursed power filled the heaven and earth, like a pillar supporting the heaven and earth.

Maldo tried his best to blast out the memory of death, but gradually he felt powerless.

He felt that he was almost out of control and thought that after such a long time, Endymion should have fallen into the void.

Just as he was about to let go, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he turned around, he saw Silver, or rather, Endymion, standing behind him safely.

A random door is disappearing.
