Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 76 New Mission and New Partner

The first four "advanced rules" are easy to understand, and the fifth one is about the battle with the "boss".

Originally, as long as you defeat the "boss" of each floor, you can not only obtain "gold coins" and "relics", but also restore a certain amount of vitality to ensure a certain endurance.

Now this benefit has been cut.

Augustus then revealed a rather satisfied smile, stroked his long beard, and said, "If that's the case, then it's indeed sufficient. I can rest assured."

"rest assured"?
Endymion looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that Auguste cared about him to this extent.

Is our relationship really that good?

Auguste saw his confusion, was stunned for a moment, and said, "So she hasn't told me yet? Never mind, His Majesty will see you later. When you see His Majesty, you'll know what's going on."

When Endymion heard that His Majesty had summoned him, he was about to leave in confusion, but Auguste called him back and handed him a thick book.

"This is the existing information about the god Chronos, about time, and about your Yesta bloodline. I have compiled it. You can take it with you."

Endymion took the book in great surprise. He didn't expect Auguste to go to such lengths.

Although Endymion had some understanding of the "Yesta bloodline", the information collected by August was definitely more comprehensive and even involved many secrets, so of course he had to accept it.

Endymion thanked him sincerely again before leaving.

After Endymion left, Auguste turned and looked at the huge, quiet library, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

If I am right, Your Majesty, you will be leaving again soon, right?

How long will it take before we meet again?

He couldn't help but sigh. As he walked forward, the long shadow behind him bound his steps like heavy shackles and chains, making every step he took quite difficult.

The clean skylight cast warm sunlight, which was cut into paper-cut shadows by the branches and leaves of tall trees and shrubs. The flowers on both sides of the path were clustered together, like cute puppies sticking out their tongues at him.

As Jellal walked forward, he gently stroked the petals he could touch with his fingers. Even if he touched thorns and pricked his skin, he was willing to do so. This slight pain reminded him of the meaning of life.

He is not completely desperate now, and Natsu's future is still worth looking forward to.

Endymion walked behind Zeref, and since Zeref didn't speak, he had to remain silent too.

Both Jeref and Laquette, who considers himself "Jeff's son", like to wear clothes with a tilted beauty.

Jellal likes to wear a black robe inside and tie a long white cloth diagonally on it, just like the Tibetan Buddhist Lamaism.

Laquette prefers to wear a simple Buddhist monk's robe, revealing his left shoulder and arm, as well as the imperial coat of arms.

Although their clothes were tilted in opposite directions, Laquette was obviously intending to imitate Jellal to show their Buddhist attributes and common origin.

Of course, when Endymion saw them, the first thing he thought of was not Buddhism, but Sakata Gintoki from "Gintama", so he couldn't remain serious with them, which troubled him for a long time.

Sometimes he even thought absentmindedly that Laquette's head, grafted onto Zeref's body, really looked somewhat similar to Sakata Gintoki.

Jellal had no idea that Endymion behind him was thinking about such a heinous thing, so he finally spoke.

"It seems that Auguste and Irene have completed their tasks well."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Endymion quickly recovered from his distraction and thanked Zeref once again for his kindness. Zeref waved his hand and said, "In that case, things here are mostly done. After a while, I will hand over the government affairs here to Inbel again and then leave the empire."

"Your Majesty, are you going on another long journey?"

"Yeah." Zeref nodded slightly. "The Curse of Anxelram has doomed me to be unable to stay in one place for long."

There was one thing he hadn't said yet, which was that he now had a place he wanted to go more urgently - Sirius Island.

When he met Mavis again that day, he had many questions, but he felt Mavis's hostility, and with Endymion present, he had no choice but to leave temporarily and return to the empire.

Now that the important affairs of the empire have been settled, he has some free time and can go to Sirius Island again to ask Mavis for clarification.

Why did Mavis become a thought entity? Is there a chance of her resurrection? Is she willing to go with him? Zeref wants to know the answers to these questions.

Jellal only thought about it for a moment when he suddenly felt some ominous premonition. He raised his hand and asked Endymion to stop.

next moment.

hum-

The "Death Hunt" spreads throughout the garden, centered around Zeref.

In an instant, all the flowers, plants and trees withered, like charred corpses left after a raging fire, with no trace of life.

The leaves and petals turned into withered ashes, fell on the path, and merged with the dust.

Endymion was not surprised. He waited until the "Death Hunt" was over before removing the "Door of Anything" that was blocking his way.

After a long moment, Zeref turned around, his eyes coldly scanning the garden before fixing on Endymion.

"I'm going to give you and Val each an important task, and I hope you can complete it."

Val is the Judge Val, one of the Twelve Holy Shields.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders," Endymion replied.

"Your mission is to travel to the continent of Ishgar and continue selecting suitable wizards to deploy into the Castlevania."

"On the one hand, it can weaken the power of the Ishgar continent. On the other hand, different magics may give Natsu different insights. Of course, this is all based on the premise that Castlevania can withstand it."

On that day, Zeref specifically asked Endymion to "take care" of Natsu on Tenrou Island, which was actually a disguised acknowledgement of his special relationship with Natsu.

Since Endymion knew all this and knew how to keep it secret, it would be more convenient for Zeref to assign the task now.

"As for Val's mission, he'll try to destroy all of the 'Magic Pulse Bombs - Fes' and 'Magic Spirit Powers'. He's quite familiar with magical weapons, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"In a few days, you can leave together. You will escort Val to the continent of Ishgar... Of course, considering the unique characteristics of "Demon City" and my personal wishes, I will arrange a partner for you."

Endymion thought the first part was normal, but he was stunned when he heard the last part: "'Partner'?"

"Brandish, the 'Crumbled Nation,'" Jellal revealed the answer directly. "It's rare for her to be willing to travel so far, and August recommended her, so I agreed. You two should get along well."
