Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 7 Jackal
Behind the stone tablet is a long and narrow path, at the end of which is a door.

They first went to look at the stone tablet, and saw lines of words densely engraved on it.

It turns out that in order to deepen the challengers' sense of immersion, Endymion decided not to narrate the story himself, but to engrave the rules of the Castlevania game on a stone tablet for the challengers to check on their own.

After everyone read it once, they basically understood it.

If they want to leave Castlevania, they need to follow the rules of the game, reach the top floor and open the sealed door.

If they fail to do this, they will lose their freedom forever and continue to kill endlessly in the Demon City.

"Hmph." Kuang Hua sneered, "Can't reach the top floor? This Demon King of Demon City really looks down on us."

Maldo gently stroked the Book of END, and before he could speak, a demon from the Nine Demon Gates jumped out.

The jackal with golden bangs, cat-like ears and tail patted his chest impatiently in front of Maldor and said:
"Lord Maldo, you can rest here. Let me handle the trivial matter of reaching the top floor. I want to see who is playing tricks here."

The other members of the Nine Ghost Gate were also eager to try.

Maldor glanced at the jackal and thought:

The Demon King of Castlevania is very powerful, and the Jackal will never be his opponent... However, it is feasible to let him go to Castlevania to disrupt the situation first.

Even if he really dies, he will be reborn in the "Hell Core" within the body of the Underworld Beast Alegria because of the "Contract" he signed with me. It just takes a little time.

At this time, Maldo and others did not know that once they were in Demon City, they would lose the concept of complete death, and the core of hell had lost its function.

They also don't know that here, complete death may be a relief.

The ones who vaguely felt that something was wrong were Keith, who used the "Necromancer Spell", and Silver, who was controlled by him, but they were unable to uncover the truth in a short period of time.

So, Maldor nodded and said, "Jackal, you will be our vanguard. Go ahead."

The jackal grinned and said, "Very well, I will definitely capture that Demon King from Demon City and bring him before you!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the long and narrow path, walked all the way to the end, and opened the door.

call out--

The jackal was caught off guard and was sucked into the door, which then closed again. This scene made everyone at the Gate of Hades frown, but then they relaxed.

It seems that the door is also a masterpiece of space magic of teleportation. Considering how they entered Castlevania, it is not surprising that there is such a door in Castlevania.

Only then did Maldo say to everyone, "We're going too."

The other members of the Nine Ghosts Gate were overjoyed.

They didn't want to sit here and wait for the jackal to return triumphantly.

The members of the Hades Gate opened the door at the end of the narrow path one after another and were sucked in.

Maldo's idea was also very simple and clear, which was to let the jackals make a big noise in front and attract all firepower.

Only this group of real main forces can slowly explore the strengths and weaknesses of the entire Demon City, find the Demon King, and defeat him in one fell swoop.

But he miscalculated again.

Because no matter who opened the door first, after entering, they would be instantly assigned to different paths at the bottom of the Castlevania. In other words, as long as they passed through the door, all of them would be isolated and helpless.

At least until they reunited.
-
The jackal flew out of a door, grabbed the stone wall with its claws on both sides, slid for a distance with a crackling sound, and then stopped steadily.

He looked back at the portal and saw that it burst and disappeared like a bubble, leaving him standing alone in a narrow path.

"What's going on?" He scratched his blond hair frantically, his animal ears twitching in confusion. "Why is the door gone? Where is this place?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, frowned, and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided anxiously not to think about it anymore. As long as he could climb to the top, nothing else mattered.

So the jackal walked forward, trying to find the end of the tunnel.

Soon, his nose moved, and his feline sense of smell allowed him to smell something strange.

What is it? Enemies? They're enemies, right? Never mind, never mind, just kill them all, just kill them all!

The jackal was too lazy to think and just ran forward in the direction of the smell. Then he saw a fork in the road. Without any hesitation, he chose the middle one.

Finally, he saw the owner of the smell, two ragged humans.

When they saw the jackal, they all panicked and quickly drew the daggers at their waists, saying to the jackal: "Don't, don't come over here, otherwise we..."

Before he could finish his words, the jackal leaped forward and placed his hands on their faces at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

He left the "Explosion Spell" mark on the two humans' faces, then released his hands, and regardless of their reactions, he ran straight forward and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The two humans sat on the ground in shock, swallowed their saliva and looked in the direction where the jackal disappeared, then looked at each other.

Is this... an escape?
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the marks on their faces began to light up.

The two also noticed the strange expressions on each other's faces. They raised their hands and pointed at each other. Just as they were about to ask, the explosion spell was activated.

Bang, bang——

Two sudden explosions caused two human heads to explode, and blood, flesh and brain matter splattered on the wall like a strange mural.

The headless corpse fell down weakly.

Weak, weak, weak, too weak!
The jackal on the other side, relying on his nose, began to search for the next target. The two humans just now were not even worth his stopping.

After satisfying his desire to kill, he would randomly select an unlucky person and let that unlucky person take him to the upper level.

However, what he didn't know was that seven seconds after he left that area, the two headless corpses underwent strange changes.

hum-

They emitted a bright light, then disappeared for a moment. When they reappeared, they were already in the starting point of everything - the huge and dark space.

The underworld beast Alegria lay motionless not far away, as if dead.

The stone tablet stood quietly in front of them, and at the end of the narrow path was the door that brought disaster.

The two were frightened, their faces pale, and they touched their heads tremblingly until they were sure they were still there, then they lowered their hands.
