Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 2: The Albares Empire and the Twelve Holy Shields

Endymion leaned back on the soft cushions of his chair, holding up the "Castlevania" in his palm, and read out the "Iron Law of Castlevania" to all the intelligent creatures inside, which he had repeated countless times.

"As long as you successfully reach the top of Castlevania and open the Sealed Gate, I will release you and give you freedom."

"If you fail to open the 'Sealed Gate', then you will naturally serve your sentence in 'Devil's Castle' forever."

"Of course, if you volunteer to be my subordinates and my executioners, perhaps I will give you some special treatment in "Demon City" based on your 'merits'."

"Then make your choice."

Inbel smiled slightly when he heard that.

Look, how bad it is.

If these rebels fail to escape from the "Demon Castle", they will become complete slaves here.

During the endless imprisonment that follows, their minds will become twisted and ugly, and they will all be transformed into executioners who prevent others from escaping and gaining freedom.

They would never want to watch others go free...

Even if someone could integrate the forces in "Castlevania" and launch an attack on the top floor together, they would be disintegrated by Endymion's second magic - "Possession Magic".

In "Castlevania", it's hell.

Even if they are determined and united now, they will definitely be shaken in the future.

Time and human heart can change everything.

Inbel closed his eyes, smiled slightly, and opened them again.

Endymion Yesta, the "Demon King", one of the "Twelve Guardians of the Holy Shield".

His character is even worse than that of his twin sister, the "War Princess" Dimalia Yesta.

Timaria only likes killing, but Endymion likes to play with people's hearts. His evilness is probably even greater, and the executioners who follow him are naturally infected with evil.

Of course, not all executioners in "Castlevania" are transformed from prisoners.

The original executioners were the natives of Castlevania.

They were a group of cultists wearing bird bone hats, holding sickles, wearing feather robes, and shouting "ka ka" strangely.

They worship the "Devil King", and this "Devil King" is naturally Endymion.

Endymion certainly deserves it.

Now the executioners in "Castlevania" have included various characters such as cultists, rebels, robbers, murderers, and many different kinds of monsters.

They almost filled every level, palace and path of "Castlevania", blocking all roads to the top. As long as you want to climb up, there is no safety at all.

Even if someone really goes through hardships and dangers and reaches the top covered in blood, there is no need to worry, because the one sitting in front of the "Sealed Gate" on the top floor is Endymion himself.

Inbel couldn't figure out Endymion's actual combat power, but he was certain of one thing.

In the entire Albares Empire, the only ones who can truly defeat Endymion are the "Emperor" and the "Two Pillars of the Empire."

Such a monster sitting in front of the "Sealed Gate" only brings the "challenger" a feeling - the greater the hope, the greater the despair.

But Endymion always felt that it was not perfect enough, and the current "Castlevania" was not the "Castlevania" of his dreams.

His "Castlevania" still lacks "leaders" and "elites" who can take on the responsibility, as well as "heroes" and "challengers" with strong will like the Branded Warrior Guts.

A powerful confrontation is more interesting. Each exciting battle, a confrontation between humanity and evil, can also better feed back into Castlevania itself, feeding Endymion and promoting his growth in power.

If there really is a "hero" who defeats this "demon king" and opens the "sealed door", he will definitely keep his promise, let the "hero" leave, and never restrain the other party again.

It’s just that there hasn’t been such a character in “Castlevania” until now.

Endymion put it away without caring about the reaction in Castlevania and turned to look at Inbel.

"You came all the way here, didn't you, just to see how I deal with the rebels of the Albares Empire? You're not that bored, are you?"

Inbel smiled.

This is a rare scene. As the empire's governor, he is usually serious, but today he smiled so many times.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

"Will you please let me sit down?"

"Please sit down. I'm not going to chase you away."

Then, Inbel lifted his light blue robe and sat down on a seat nearby. "You guessed right, I do have something else to talk to you about. You know the Kingdom of Fiore, right?"

"Of course I know. The peninsula on the Ishgar continent is a neutral country."

In fact, Endymion, who was once a modern man, did not just "know" about the Kingdom of Fiore, he could be said to be familiar with it.

Because the story of "Fairy Tail" is set around a magic guild called "Fairy Tail" in the Kingdom of Fiore.

As for the Albareth Empire, it was located on the continent of Alachidacia, separated from the continent of Ishgar and the Kingdom of Fiore by a vast ocean, and its true appearance was not revealed until the last chapter of the story.

Why is it arranged like this?
Because the Albares Empire exists as the "evil villain" that makes its final appearance.

The next boss to appear after the Albareth Empire is the "Black Dragon" Acnologia.

This fully demonstrates the weight of the Albares Empire and the power of the "Twelve Holy Shields". Not just anyone can be one of the "Twelve Holy Shields".

Inbel nodded.

"It's good that you know, so I don't have to explain... You remember, about two or three years ago, the Albares Empire originally planned to attack the Ishgar continent, but it ended in nothing."

"I remember that the Emperor opposed this war, and when Ishgar unveiled its two magical strategic weapons, the 'Magic Spirit Power' and the 'Magic Pulse Bomb - Fiss,' the Empire chose to withdraw."

Endymion reviewed the previous events truthfully.

Their emperor, Zeref, is the second most powerful villain after the "Black Dragon" Acnologia.

The "holy one" that the "Twelve Holy Shields" are supposed to protect is Emperor Zeref.

However, Zeref doesn't actually need the protection of the "Twelve Holy Shields". He is strong enough and has the "Curse of the God Anxelram" to support him.

The "Twelve Guardians of the Holy Shield" are actually twelve top fighters recognized by Zeref who can stand by his side and help him complete the "Final Plan".

Not everyone has such honor.

As the second biggest villain, Zeref did not make up his mind until X792 to launch a full-scale war against the continent of Ishgar.

That's about 8 years away.
