Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 89: As long as they have the courage, let them chase me

Endymion put away the "Wand of Creation".

He turned around and noticed that Freya, Ivan and the others showed no signs of escaping, so he raised his hand and opened a "Door of Anything".

Endymion bent down again, grabbed the back of Laxus's clothes at his feet, lifted him up, and threw him into the "Gate of Anything".

In this way, the first capture target of tonight is completed.

Just as he was about to follow the same method and get Freya and the others into the "Demon Castle", he noticed a light flickering in the ruins of the "Crow Tail Guild" not far away.

Not only that, in the quiet night, there were dull, intermittent squeaking sounds.

Endymion was curious, so he walked over, squatted down, and dug up a layer of soil, revealing a half-buried object.

It was a connected "sound pot", a bit like modern neckband headphones.

Obviously, this belongs to Laxus.

The flickering light and squeaking sound just now came from the broken corner of this "music pot". It is no longer usable.

Endymion noticed something, so he carefully opened the "sound pot" and pinched out a small object with his fingers.

what is this?
Could it be a "locator"?
Previously, Val had shown him and Brandish the insect drone he was about to release, which was equipped with a locator for the purpose of locating more than 3,000 "Magic Pulse Bombs Fes".

Endymion certainly wouldn't feel unfamiliar when he saw something similar.

But why did Laxus install a locator in his "sound pot"?

Or, was there someone who could have installed a locator in the Sound Pot without Laxus noticing?
No matter which one it was, Laxus's position at this moment must have been exposed to the other party.

What was the other party's purpose in determining Laxus's location? Was it to seek revenge on Laxus? Was it to track down "Crow Tail"? Or perhaps...

Endymion felt that the first two possibilities were unlikely, and that the other party was most likely to install a locator in order to track the same target as Laxus.

That target is most likely me.

Who is looking for me?
Endymion frowned, thinking of the information he had received not long ago - the "Magic Council" and the four "Ten Holy Magi" were secretly investigating and tracking his whereabouts.

If Endymion attacked the three major dark guilds, they could still turn a blind eye and regard it as an internal fight among the dark guilds, but when he attacked the "Fairy Tail Sirius Group", the nature of the situation changed completely.

The Magic Council must consider the possibility that the Demon King will one day turn against them.

Therefore, investigation and hunting are inevitable.

In that case, perhaps one or more of the "Ten Holy Magi" members are working with Laxus, or secretly following Laxus, hoping to find me through him.

The other party may not be sure that Endymion will be found by Laxus, but there has been no news of Endymion for such a long time, and there are no other clues, so they may want to try their luck with Laxus.

Endymion smiled slightly and was about to crush the locator, but changed his mind in an instant.

Rather than letting them hide in the dark and being unable to control their movements, it is better to keep the locator.

As long as they have the courage to catch up with me, I can catch them.

Of course, this is likely to attract the "Ten Holy Mages", including the "God" Serena, so preparations must be made in advance.

As Endymion pondered his future plans, Freya silently approached him. After a moment's hesitation, she timidly spoke. "My Lord Demon... Lord Demon, you saved me and helped me take revenge on Raven Tail. I want to thank you."

Endymion quietly put away the locator and looked down at Freya, whose red braids were loose, exhausted, and sweating profusely.

"As I said, this is a deal. Your future life and destiny will be decided by me. And I will certainly fulfill my promise and use your power to avenge Raven Tail."

Freya tilted her head back, perhaps understanding what Endymion meant.

"Then... Lord Demon, what do you need me to do?"

Endymion pointed at Ivan, Black Snake, and Narubdinku, who were pale not far away.

"From now on, they will become prisoners of the first level of Castlevania, blocking any challengers who want to climb up."

"And you, Freya, will stay in an 'Event Palace', serving as the 'key' to help the 'Challengers' eliminate the members of 'Raven Tail'."

Freya had thought she understood Endymion's meaning, but now she was confused again.

What is "Prisoners of Castlevania"?
Since Ivan and the others are going to stop the "Challenger", why should I help the "Challenger"?
What is the real purpose of the Demon King?
Endymion did not explain so many desires. He opened a "Door of Anything" for Freya, and opened another "Door of Anything" for Ivan and others.

"Let's see it with our own eyes. I think if you spend some time in Castlevania, you'll understand what it's like."

Freya was silent for a moment, then nodded, and stepped forward without hesitation, stepping into the "Gate of Anything" and heading towards the unfamiliar "Demon Castle".

As for Ivan and others, they had to go in whether they liked it or not.
-
The sun rises and its rays illuminate the desert.

A figure walked among the broken walls. His face under the bald head was serious, and his eagle-like sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

He is the last of the "Ten Holy Mages" and the strongest magician of the "Snake Princess Scale Guild" - "Rock Iron" Jura.

After walking around the ruins, Jola shook his head with a heavy heart.

It seems that there are no survivors left. They either died in the battle or were crushed to death by the collapsed stone walls and pillars...

However, I didn’t see Laxus’ body. Not only that, I also didn’t see the bodies of several important members such as Ivan. Are they buried deeper?
Let’s look for it again.

Jola flicked his wrist, and the stones on the ruins were affected by him, rolling away one after another, revealing the dead and bloody corpses.

There is nothing here either... There is nothing here either...

His footsteps finally stopped at a place, and he bent down and picked up a broken "sound pot" outside the ruins.

This is Laxus's "sound pot". It seems that the locator I gave Laxus has been removed. No wonder I haven't received any signal since last night.

So, what about Laxus himself?

Is his life in danger now?

Not long ago, Laxus came to see him because of the disappearance of the "Tenrou Group" and the collapse of the "Balam Alliance".

Because only Jura had the experience of being "possessed" and had not been captured by the "Demon King", Laxus had no choice but to come to him to find out the situation.
