Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 24: The Star Gate also requires the Demon King's permission
What am I, am I, what am I doing? Melty was so anxious that she almost cried, but she was helpless about the current situation.

Sera shook her head slightly. "From the sinful connection we just had, I can also sense your unusual concern for the woman named 'Urrutia'."

"However, given your strength, you're not yet capable of distracting yourself and worrying about others, right? This is my warning to you. Perhaps... we can meet again next time."

"Melty, I order you to commit suicide."

The knife condensed with sin suddenly stabbed into Melty's heart in her blurred vision, and then it twisted, and pain and coldness quickly swept through her body.

At the same time, in another elite room.

The chubby Franmars revealed his true form, and his tentacles pierced into a member of the Seven Families of Purgatory with a goat's head and a human body, and began to suck him hard.

"Hehehehe—" He laughed strangely as always, his single eye full of greed, "Just because the 'Devil King' can kill me three times doesn't mean anyone can."

He suddenly showed a look of surprise:

"Hehehehe—it turns out your Lost Magic has some similarities to my spells. However, mine is absorption, and yours is enslavement. Should I say it's closer to Sera's command and Keith's necromancy, right?"

"But, you've become like this, you must have touched some kind of taboo, right? Hehehehe - so interesting! In this respect, you and I are just like each other, so interesting!"

Soon, under the absorption of Franmars, the seven followers of Purgatory with goat heads and human bodies suddenly shook and separated into two people.

One of them still had a goat's head and a human body, while the other was a man with an afro and dark circles under his eyes. They both lay weakly on the ground.

Franmars hammered his palm: "I understand! I understand! I have absorbed the body of an 'ordinary star spirit' before."

"If I'm not mistaken, this goat-headed humanoid should be Capricorn, one of the 'Twelve Zodiac Star Spirits', right?"

"And you!" Franmars pointed at the thin man with dark circles under his eyes. "You are the real body. You tried to enslave the Star Spirits and violated the taboo, so you merged with them, right? Right?"

Franmars jumped up and down excitedly: "Interesting! You guys are really interesting! Hehehehe——"

Zudir, who was exposed, broke out in a cold sweat.

Zudel was once one of the servants of Lucy's mother, Leila, and had an unusual obsession with Leila.

He kept the Capricorn Key for Leila during her lifetime, and promised Capricorn Caplico that he would return the key after Lucy embarked on the path of the Celestial Mage.

Unexpectedly, after he learned the lost magic of Human Subjugation, a magic that could enslave humans, his inherent evil nature and greed became uncontrollable, and he began to think about enslaving the Protoss.

However, the Protoss are not human, which violated a taboo. Zudir was forced to merge with Capricorn Caplico and became what he is now.

If nothing unexpected happens, when he meets Lucy in the future, not only will he be unwilling to return the Capricorn spirit, but he will also try to seize the body of the Leo spirit.

Then he will use the body of the Leo Star Spirit to take the opportunity to get close to Lucy and control Lucy, who looks similar to Leila, with evil intentions.

I didn’t expect that all this would break down today!
Zudir quickly let out a wail, the result of forcibly separating from Capricorn Caplico was that he disappeared into thin air!
His body quickly disintegrated, and he finally tried to reach out in the direction of Capricho, but unfortunately he was powerless and died, turning into smoke and dust.

Caplico coughed a few times. After being possessed for years, he finally regained his freedom. Without time to sigh, he anxiously asked, "Is Zudir completely gone?" "No!" Franmars told him bad news. "There is no concept of 'complete death' in Demon City. He will be reborn in the cemetery room."

Capricho's expression tightened, and then he heard Franmars informing him of the second bad news.

"As for you, just become the object of my absorption!" Franmars' tentacles danced, revealing his ferocious appearance!

Only then did Caplico realize that he had just escaped from the wolf's den but fell into the tiger's den. Shocked, he quickly opened the Star Gate and tried to escape to the Star Realm.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Star Spirit Gate was opened, several chains appeared, blocked it, and then forcibly closed the Star Spirit Gate, and it disappeared on the spot.

Caplico was shocked, but he half-knelt on the ground helplessly: "What's going on? Did the Star Spirit Realm reject me?"

Normally, as long as there is a contract with the Celestial Mage and a Celestial Key, the Celestial Spirit can travel back and forth between the Celestial World and the real world.

When they are seriously injured, they will even be forcibly teleported back to the Astral Realm and will not be allowed to leave for a period of time.

However, Capricho is now unable to return to the Star Spirit Realm, which makes him feel surprised and confused!
Franmars stopped his tentacles, immediately thought of the reason, and laughed:

"Hehehehe—this is what happens when you use the Celestial Gate to teleport in front of the Demon King. If you want to leave here, you'll need the Demon King's permission!"

It turns out that someone like Maldor could open the "Gate of the Underworld" in front of Endymion, but someone like Caplico, who was far less powerful, couldn't even open the "Gate of the Stars".

Unless Endymion allows it, the wizard needs to be much stronger than Endymion in order to use space magic to escape from Castlevania.

Sure enough, a dark hand of the devil reached down, grabbed the unsuspecting Caplico, held him in the palm of his hand, and exerted force suddenly, causing a scream of pain and blood to spurt out.

When the devil's hand was spread out, the Capricho in the palm had disappeared, leaving only the unique golden Capricorn Star Key in the world.

Franmars clapped his hands and applauded. "You finally sent him back to the Astral World. But as long as his key is here, he will return sooner or later."

The Demon King's hand slowly retracted, and Endymion's voice was heard at the same time:

"I will randomly drop the Capricorn Star Spirit Key somewhere in the Castle of Demons. Maybe you will have a chance to meet again in the future."

"Hehehehe——" Franmars laughed greedily, "If possible, I will definitely absorb him next time!"

After the Demon King's hand disappeared, Endymion's voice was heard again:

"If that's the case, I will arrange for the person who defeats you to receive an additional Capricorn Star Spirit Key. This Star Spirit Key will be returned to you after the holder dies."

Franmars' eyes lit up: "It's just an endless cycle of torture. Interesting, so interesting! Hehehehe——"
