Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 49 True Awakening Plan

Zeref looked down at the many dark guild members below from the Demon King's Hand throne, then turned to Endymion and said, "The rest is up to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please leave it to me."

Endymion bowed, then looked at everyone and said:

"Since His Majesty has given the order, you are now confirmed to be my subordinates. The requirements for becoming an elite and a leader mentioned earlier are waived for you."

He was referring to the requirement of defeating two elites, or a boss, before receiving the key to the elite or boss's palace from the merchant.

Now there is no need to use this request to force the Six Demon Generals and the members of Demon Heart and Hades Gate to fight each other so that he can reap the benefits.

They will all become defenders.

As for the attacking challengers, Sirius Island will soon welcome a group of very outstanding wizards.

They are relatively weak at present, but have great growth potential and are undoubtedly more suitable to be challengers of Castlevania than the Six Demon Generals.

Then, Endymion stretched out a fist towards everyone and opened it with the palm facing up.

Then, golden rays of light flew out from his palm, drew arcs in the air, and came in front of every defender of the Demon Castle.

When the golden light faded, they saw golden keys.

Everyone looked at Endymion in surprise.

Endymion explained:
"This is the 'privilege' I grant you. With this key, you can open any door and lead directly to this heart chamber."

"Of course, you still need my permission to enter here."

"If you have any situation that you need to report to me, or if you have any wishes that you want to fulfill, you can use it and come here to find me."

"I can make a promise to you in front of His Majesty. As long as you complete your work as defenders, I will meet all your requests that I can."

After he said this, many of the defenders showed joy and took the golden key and held it in their hands.

Kuanghua and Sera, the devil lovers, must want more opportunities to meet each other.

Urrutia also wants to meet Melty, but whether Melty is willing to see her is another matter.

Of course, Eric wanted his venomous snake, Cumberrios, back. This was not a difficult wish, and Endymion would probably agree to it.

Richard and Sorono want to know information from the outside world, especially information about their missing family members.

They just need to know whether their younger brothers and sisters are living well.

Endymion could see that everyone had something to say, and everyone had a request.

However, he suppressed them one by one for the time being.

Since you are an employee of Castlevania, you can slowly fulfill the responsibilities of the Demon King later.

He believed that Jellal had something else to say to him, and it couldn't be said in public.

Then Endymion opened a series of doors and urged the defenders to return to their posts.

After the last defender left, Endymion indeed heard Zeref speaking from the throne of the Demon King's Hand.

"Endymion, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zeref's entire body was brimming with magical energy, allowing him to leap from the Demon King's throne, maintaining his lithe form and standing firmly before Endymion. "I've subdued these people's arrogance. I've taught them that to obey your orders is to obey mine."

"Isn't this one of the goals that Inbel and you wanted to achieve on this trip to Ishgar? I've done what an emperor should do."

"Now, it's your turn to do what the Twelve Shields should do."

Endymion had guessed what Zeref was about to say, but he pretended to be unaware and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do? Please speak."

Zeref paced forward, thinking for a moment, and then said, "You said before that Fairy Tail would come to Tenrou Island to hold the S-rank exam, and you also got the list of exam members, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Endymion said all of this deliberately because Natsu was on the list, which would definitely arouse Zeref's interest.

As expected, Zeref said, "I didn't expect that Tenrou Island would become the holy land of Fairy Tail. This must be fate... In that case, I want you to do something."

"Among the members taking the S-rank assessment, there is a young man named Natsu Dragneel. I need you to pay attention to him..."

Endymion feigned hesitation and said, "No problem, I will do it. But, Your Majesty, may I ask one more question: why should I pay attention to this young man?"

Zeref thought about it and decided to hide the fact that Natsu was his brother and only reveal another part of the truth: "Actually, this Natsu is the END I created."

"His full name is Etrius Natsu Dragneel, and the initials are 'END'."

"I let him leave me, but I never expected him to become a wizard of Fairy Tail."

Endymion pretended to be surprised:

"Natsu is the demon that the Gate of Hell wants to awaken? No wonder his last name is Dragneel, the same as your Majesty."

There are not many people with the same surname as Zeref. Currently, there are only Natsu and Laquette. Even his own son August never got this surname until his death.

No, no, no, it should be said that Jellal and Mavis didn't know they had a son until they died. It has to be said that this is a pity.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do? Try to awaken the demonic power within Natsu?"

Jellal nodded and said:
"That's right. Over the years, I left him alone, allowing him to learn magic in the human world... Now, it's almost time for him to start controlling the other power within his body."

"This power can only be awakened and activated when he is extremely angry and resentful... If he can cultivate well for a few more years, he may be able to possess extremely terrifying destructive power."

Jellal calmly outlined a chilling plan.

"In order to awaken this power, Endymion, I want you to take away all of Natsu's companions in Fairy Tail, one by one, before he appears before you."

Endymion was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He was thinking in his heart: Jellal is really cruel to his own brother, but this also happens to achieve my goal.

Then Jelf said:
"Don't let anyone know that Natsu is END, especially if those demons from Maldor find out. If they find out, something unexpected might happen again."

"After that, you will trap him in this demon castle and let these defenders temper him like steel."

"If he can get through the Six Demon Generals, the Demon Heart, the Gate of Hades, and even defeat you and leave here, then he will have the strength to stand before me."

Endymion, of course, replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zeref finally said, "Okay, take me around Castlevania. I might be able to kill time in Castlevania before Natsu and the others arrive at Tenrou Island."
