Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 91: Transaction and the Source of Demons

Obra opened her eyes wide from under her Vilu hat and looked up at Endymion, trying her best to appear pitiful and submissive.

However, Endymion would not trust a "devil" so easily. He needed Obra to reveal the bargaining chip.

"You want to make a deal with me? Then tell me, what can you give me?"

Endymion slowly found a chair and sat down.

Behind the chair was Brandish, who was reclining. She had no intention of getting up or returning to her original shape.

Obra quickly seized the opportunity, wrote and drew on the white paper, and then raised the paper above her head in a flattering manner so that Endymion could see it.

"I'm familiar with the magic of Ivan of Raven Tail, Laxus, and Black Snake. I can help you capture them."

Endymion shook his head.

"You are the first one I captured, so you don't know the situation. Laxus, Ivan, Black Snake, and Narubudingku were all captured by me."

Obra showed a surprised expression. He really didn't know that Ivan and others had been caught, and he didn't expect that Laxus was also caught. He thought he was the only one who was caught.

It couldn't help but become more and more confused. Where did Freya find such a powerful helper? Even Laxus was no match for him?
However, now is not the time to find out the truth. What is important is that I have lost the bargaining chips to sell my teammates. So, what else can be traded?

Obra thought for a moment, then immediately squatted down, wrote on the white paper, and then showed it to Endymion.

Brandish, holding her chin, was quite interested in the interaction between Endymion and Obra. She leaned forward with her huge face and blinked behind Endymion.

Endymion saw it clearly.

Obra wrote on it:

"I am willing to serve you, my lord, just like Freya."

Endymion shook his head again.

"You may not understand your situation. No matter what, you must serve me and work for Castlevania until the end of time. You cannot trade me what I have already received."

Obra showed an expression of disappointment and fear, and her eyes shrank.

Endymion stroked his chin and smiled.

"Let me show you a clear path."

At the same time, Brandish also moved her head closer to cheer, and stared at Obra threateningly like a huge beautiful snake beside Endymion.

Since she has decided to partner with Endymion, she will not go back on her word easily. She will do her best to do what she should do and cooperate with others. The rest of the time is for her to be lazy.

Obra was frightened by the power of the two "Twelve Holy Shields" for a moment and fell to the ground trembling.

Endymion asked seriously:
"I know you are the 'Demon of the Book of Zeref,' a life created by the 'Dark Mage,' Zeref."

Obra was even more surprised. He didn't expect that his background could be seen through by the adult in front of him. So what else about him didn't know?

Endymion continued:
"I also know that the process of creating a demon requires some 'substance' as the initial template, whether it's a corpse, a piece of floor, or a living person..." "But no matter what, it requires a 'source', and the spells of the 'demon' born from it will be closely related to the 'source'."

"Obra, your spell is "Eliminate Magic", so what is your "Source"?"

Endymion asked the question he wanted the answer to and then waited in silence.

Obra hesitated for a while, then leaned over the paper and wrote a long paragraph.

"I don't know much... I was Zeref-sama's experiment. He created me by extracting the magical power of a place called the 'Gap of Time'."

"But he seemed disappointed in me, and then he gave me a mission, asking me to find something called 'Luminous Starlight'."

"After Master Zeref left me, I wandered for a long time and eventually met Ivan by chance."

"I learned that his goal was also Luminous Starlight, so I joined Raven Tail, and I have been with him until today."

Endymion took the paper and read the content which contained a huge amount of information carefully, then slowly he came to an understanding.

"The Gap in Time"... So it's just "The Gap in Time", no wonder.

In that place, there is the "magic of time" that belongs neither to light nor darkness, and is also called the "magic of nothingness" by Anna Heartfilia.

There is both the "magic of time" and the symbol of nothingness.

Therefore, in the final battle with the "Black Dragon" Acnologia, Anna tried to lure Acnologia into the "Gap of Time" to destroy him.

The magic power possessed by the "Magic King" August is also described as magic that belongs neither to light nor to darkness.

If Obra's "elimination spell" comes from the "gap in time", then it makes sense, because Auguste can not only copy other people's magic instantly, but also invalidate other people's magic.

This was the only thing Obra and Auguste had in common.

Acnologia actually has a similar performance, but his is not "elimination, invalidation", but "devourment". The devoured magic power will become a part of Acnologia.

Both Obra and August will make the target's magic ineffective and the magic power disappear, which is actually falling into nothingness.

Similar to "nothingness" is the "Memory of Death" of "Pluto" Maldor, which is the ultimate spell that can send life into "nothingness".

If this is the case, Endymion understands the source of Obra's spell, and also understands why Obra never appeared again after returning to Zeref.

This is because Zeref had found the "Gap in Time" long before Anna, and used the "Gap in Time" to create Obra in order to study the "Gap in Time".

At that time, he probably had already conceived the idea of the "New Eclipse Gate Project".

However, Obra, created with part of the magic power of the "Gap in Time", cannot satisfy Zeref. At the same time, his "New Eclipse Gate Project" also requires "infinite magic power".

And Jellal quickly locked on his target, which was the "Fairy Heart". As long as he got the "Fairy Heart", he could obtain "Infinite Magic Power".

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of everything, Jellal sent Obra to find "Lumen Starlight", the "Fairy Heart". Of course, he did not have much hope for Obra.
