Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 5 Anywhere Door and Hades Gate Headquarters
Endymion took it, looked at Inbel, and asked, "So, you're recommending that I conquer the Hades Gate first?"

Inbel nodded again.

"I've investigated. Its core members, Pluto and the Nine Demon Gates, are essentially Zeref's creations. It's a shame to leave them alone on the Ishgar continent."

"It's up to you to decide how to deal with and reform them. Even if you execute them, I don't think His Majesty Zeref would raise an eyebrow."

"Just make the best use of it. Your Castlevania might be a good place for them."

Inbel was not wrong to say so.

If Zeref really cared about the demons at the Gate of Hades, he would have shown up and done something about it, or at least brought them to the Albareth Empire.

"Okay then." Endymion agreed immediately. "I'll leave tomorrow and go to the Ishgar continent."

"I wish you all the best." Inbel smiled. "The Empire will protect you. You can also contact me at any time to obtain assistance from the Empire."

After Inbel left, Endymion began to prepare to go to the continent of Ishgar.

There is no need to issue a military order, because Bell has given him ample authority and time.

While Inbel only needs to set the general direction, Endymion has many things to consider.

However, he has "Space Magic", "Possession Magic" and "Curse Power Search Compass", so many things that seem troublesome are actually easy to solve.

For example, his travel methods and itinerary.

The next morning, he set out on his journey.

The matters that he had not yet dealt with in the Albares Empire were naturally handled by the people arranged by Inbel, so he could leave with peace of mind.

There was no way to travel by magic airship or ocean ferry, and it was even more impossible for him to travel by land. He had a more convenient way.

That is another branch of his "space magic" - "anywhere door".

By passing through the "Anywhere Door", you can jump to a very far place in space, no matter how many mountains, rivers, forests, and buildings are in the way between the two points.

As long as the maximum distance that the "Anywhere Door" can travel in one go is met in a straight line, the space jump can be completed.

Of course, it also has limitations, one of which is that the door cannot be opened inside a living body. Even if the door is forced open successfully, it will not cause any harm to the living body.

Therefore, if the direction is right, he can open the "Door of Anywhere" continuously, just like playing golf, and eventually enter the hole and reach the continent of Ishgar.

It doesn’t matter even if the direction is wrong, because the earth is round. As long as he knows how to adjust the direction, he will always reach his destination.

It takes one day to travel from his residence to the Imperial Port by magic train, and ten days to travel from the Imperial Port to the coastal port of Ishgar continent by passenger ship.

However, he only needed to open the "Anywhere Door" a few times and slightly adjust the direction to arrive at the Ishgar continent from the Albares Empire.

Endymion's journey had just begun, and it was already over.

He stood on an unfamiliar coastline full of reefs and asked a fisherman. From them, he learned that this was the Kingdom of Fiore.

Just walk west along the coastline and you will reach Hargeon, the famous port town of the Kingdom of Fiore.

The original story of "Fairy Tail" began there.

It was here that Zeref's younger brother Natsu and Lucy, the descendant of Zeref's friend Anna, met.

Because he didn't know the exact time of their encounter, Endymion had no intention of going to watch Hargeon, but instead took out the "Cursive Power Search Compass".

It’s still business that matters.

The compass needle shook, and soon it pointed in one direction.

Northeast!
It seemed he had good luck, having happened upon the moment when the demons at the Hades Gate were gathering. The cursed force acted like a magnet, pulling the needles. Endymion immediately opened the Anywhere Door and leaped directly to the maximum distance it could travel.

Then, he took out the compass again, and this time the needle still pointed to the northeast, so he continued to use the "Anywhere Door" to jump through space in the same way.

After two more space jumps, he stopped.

As a result, when he took out the compass again this time, the needle pointed to southwest.

It seems to have flown too far.

It doesn't matter. This time, use the "Anywhere Door" to jump in the opposite direction and shorten the jump distance as much as possible. You will always be able to see the target.

After doing this several times, Endymion space-jumped to a sloping hillside, next to which was a huge rock protruding like a giant's head.

When I looked at the compass again this time, I saw that the needle began to shake constantly and did not point to a definite direction.

Because Bell had told him how to use the compass when he gave it to him, he knew that when the needle moved like this, it meant he was very close to his target.

Either below or above.

Endymion first glanced at the endless grassland below the hillside. The strong wind blew past, and the green grass rolled like waves.

At the end of his sight, he saw nothing noteworthy except a shepherd, two sheepdogs and a large flock of sheep.

Then it's on top.

He looked up at the clear blue sky, which was only covered with wisps of clouds, which could not cover any airships or birds.

The view is very broad.

However, as one of the "Twelve Holy Shields", Endymion had a very sharp eye and he saw the flaw at a glance.

There was indeed a huge flying object flying past in the sky, but it used a large camouflage spell, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect.

This is not a difficult problem for him.

The "Anywhere Door" opened again, and Endymion stepped in.

The next moment, he walked out of the "Anywhere Door" that opened high in the sky above him, and used magic power to temporarily make himself float in the air.

Then, he was suspended in the air, with clouds under his feet and the sun above his head. Magic power enveloped his whole body, and he stared proudly ahead.

At such a distance, the disguise spell was completely ineffective.

When he looked closely, he saw a huge cube flying at a constant speed. At the top of the cube was an extremely gloomy castle.

That's the headquarters of Hades Gate.

There is a reason why the Ishgar Magic Council and the Light Magic Guild have been unable to wipe out the "Balam Alliance" over the years.

The guild headquarters of "Gate of Hell" and "Demon's Heart" are all able to fly in the air and are constantly moving. They have never had a fixed address.

This would eliminate the possibility of the Magic Council's "Magic Spirit Power" accurately striking.

Even if the wizards of the Light Guild wanted to enter the headquarters of the two dark guilds to launch a crusade, it would be quite difficult.

The most that the Ishgar Magic Council and the Light Magic Guild can do is to eliminate some of the small guilds under their jurisdiction to improve their performance.

However, the three major dark guilds of the "Balram Alliance" still exist, and if they are not annihilated, it cannot be considered a "major blow" to the dark guild forces.

To truly eradicate the "Balam Alliance", we have to wait for the younger generation of "Fairy Tail" to grow up quickly.
