Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 52 The Demon King Arrives
Yes, the same thing happened to Gajeel, but at least Gajeel knew that he was a double agent.

Makarov sent him to Raven Tail as a spy, and Ivan, the president of Raven Tail, sent him to Fairy Tail as a spy.

As for the result, Gajeel is on the side of Fairy Tail, and Makarov still trusts him very much.

But no matter what, the fact that three undercover agents were able to sneak into the Magic Council, that the former Speaker defected to the side of Hades Gate seven years after the original timeline, and that Mest and Gajeel were double agents are abstract enough.

Since Mest was here, Makarov had no choice but to cooperate with him and continue acting so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Magic Council.

So, Mest modified the memories of the Fairy Tail members except Makarov, sealed his own memory, and successfully infiltrated Fairy Tail.

Makarov pretended that his memory was modified by Mest, and he was put on the S-level assessment list, performing a double act for the people of the Magic Council to see.

However, "memory modification" is actually not reliable. It is like inserting a clumsy plot into a smooth video. There will always be suspicious connections between the two.

If it is a long-term memory modification, then it is okay, and any problems can be corrected slowly.

But this time Meister came too hastily, so he had to do this.

I hope Mest hasn't been exposed. If he is, I will have no choice but to let him leave the Magic Council and return to Fairy Tail.

Come to think of it, I owe him a lot for leaving him alone in the Magic Council for such a long time.

Makarov thought silently, and before he knew it, he reached the end of the first level.

Here, you can see the exits of eight passages, all converging here like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea.

Of course, the first round of assessment has just begun, and no candidates or examiners have arrived here yet.

Makarov sat cross-legged on a big rock, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, but instead of looking at the exits of the eight passages, he turned his head and looked at the cliff behind him.

I saw a figure standing on the top of the steep cliff.

The whistling sea breeze blew up his golden hair and robes, like a flag fluttering in the wind.

Who is this?
How did he find and enter Tianlang Island?
Makarov frowned, feeling uneasy.

He stood up, raised his voice seriously, and shouted in that direction:
"This is Fairy Tail's sacred island, Tenrou Island! I am Makarov, the guildmaster of Fairy Tail. Who are you and why are you on Tenrou Island?"

Standing on the mountaintop is, of course, the "Demon Lord" Endymion.

He calculated the time and knew that Fairy Tail would soon return to Tenrou Island, so he took the initiative to come out of "Castlevania" and waited quietly.

Sure enough, he first saw Gildarts, Erza and Mirajane, the three Fairy Tail S-class wizards, taking a small boat and returning to Tenrou Island first.

The three of them entered their respective cave passages and waited for the arrival of the candidates.

They will use their own standards to judge whether the candidates who come to challenge them can pass the first level.

Soon after, the Fairy Tail's large ship also appeared on the sea, followed by eight pairs of candidates, each showing their magical powers, and rushed from the ship to Tenrou Island one after another and entered the eight passages.

Those passages will be closed every time a pair of candidates and their partners enter.

As a result, those who came later had no choice but to choose other passages. Endymion had already observed those cave passages and knew where they ended, so he went directly to the end and stood on a high place to wait.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Makarov, a short and thin man with wrinkles all over his face, appeared in the field of vision.

Hearing Makarov's cry, Endymion had no intention of hiding. He immediately jumped off the cliff and landed lightly in front of Makarov.

Makarov jumped off the rock in shock and confusion, but was unable to gain distance.

Because behind him are the eight passages where the children are.

Endymion then replied:
"I imagine you've heard of me... I'm the 'Demon Lord' Endymion Chronos Yesta, one of the 'Twelve Holy Shields' of the Albares Empire."

Endymion gave his old comrade his full name as a sign of respect.

Makarov's eyes immediately widened, and he said in astonishment: "You are... one of the "Twelve Shields"?

Come to think of it, I don’t know whether the Albares Empire’s confidentiality work is too good, or the Magic Council’s investigative ability is too poor.

Mester didn't find much information about the Albares Empire from the Magic Council.

There are also people from the Albareth Empire within Fairy Tail.

However, they arrived early and never returned, so they were not very clear about the current situation of the Albares Empire.

They knew there were twelve holy shields, but they didn't know who they were or what kind of magic they possessed. They knew there was an emperor, but they didn't know that this emperor was Jellal.

This information gap was one of the reasons why Makarov was forced to disband Fairy Tail and go to the Albareth Empire alone to seek peace.

Makarov suddenly heard the "Twelve Holy Shields" mentioned in the intelligence and felt his scalp tingling and his back cold.

Is he the "Twelve Shields"? Why is he here? What is his purpose?
Could it be... "Luminous Starlight"?
Ever since the Albares Empire stopped the war several years ago, there has been little news from the empire. Now that the "Twelve Holy Shields" have suddenly appeared, Makarov couldn't help but think differently.

Endymion also saw Makarov's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am not interested in your "Lumen Starlight" for the time being."

Makarov's thoughts were exposed. He clenched his fists nervously and frowned even deeper. He asked, "So, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Endymion said bluntly, "I have come to you, Fairy Tail, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor."

Makarov was even more confused. Since it was an order from their emperor, if it wasn't for "Lumen Starlight", what else could it be for?
Suddenly, he felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and many confusing clues were organized together to piece together a picture of the truth.

Over the past six months, the Gate of Hell, the Demon's Heart and the Six Demon Generals have disappeared one after another. Makarov could not have been unaware of this.

In particular, the six demon generals were captured one after another in front of the coalition forces of the magic guild.

The magic guild coalition quickly reported the entire process to the local regular meeting of the initiator of the crusade.

The possessed Jura even showed up in person to answer questions from the presidents of the major guilds.

However, Jola himself was also confused and could not get much useful information, and the presidents like them could not come up with facts out of thin air.
