Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 94 Gildarts's Reason

Gildarts didn't expect Cana to react so strongly to seeing him, but he just thought that Cana was happy to see a Fairy Tail member, so he gently hugged Cana to comfort her.

He still doesn't know the true relationship between them. In the entire Fairy Tail Guild, only Cana and Lucy know this.

Kana could feel the presence of Gildarts' left arm and left leg. Although they were made of metal, she was sure that she could feel the warmth from her father.

Gildarts previously went to challenge the "Hundred Years Quest", but accidentally encountered the black dragon Acnologia, was attacked by the black dragon, and lost half of his body.

Since then, he has had his left hand and left leg replaced with metal prosthetics, and living and fighting have basically not been a problem for him.

Kana also realized that she was a little too excited, so she gently pushed Gildarts away and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Everyone surrounded Gildarts and came to the campfire. After Elfman sent away the irrelevant people, everyone asked Gildarts why he was here.

"Of course I died on the third floor," Gildarts said with some resignation. "I had a fierce battle with the third floor's leader, Maldor, the Hades. In the end, he defeated me."

Lisanna's eyes widened as she said, "Gildarts actually lost."

Gildarts shook his head and laughed, "Of course I will lose. I am still human after all."

In fact, that battle was not favorable for Gildarts, because Gildarts fought all the way to the Palace of Hades, and his condition was not very good at that time.

Gildarts added, "Actually, I think that not being able to defeat Maldor is actually a good thing."

Lisanna held her chin with both hands and asked curiously, "Why?"

Gildarts tapped Lisanna's nose and said, "There are two reasons. First, even though I defeated Mardor, I still couldn't reach the Heart Palace."

"To enter the Heart Palace, you need to obtain three keys in advance: the ruby, sapphire, and emerald keys. Maldo told me this information during the battle."

When Kana heard this, she had an idea. She reached into the leather bag at her waist and pulled out a blue key. She handed it to Gildarts and said, "Is this the one?"

Gildarts took it, looked over it, and said in surprise and joy, "That must be it. I didn't expect one of the three-color gem keys to be in your hands. Where did you get it?"

Kana replied, "I once encountered a 'Treasure Chest Palace'. Inside that palace was a single treasure chest, and within that chest was a relic and this key."

"However, you can only take one of the two items; the other must remain. I thought this sapphire key was a little strange, so I chose it."

Gildarts nodded and asked, "Kana, can you give it to me?"

Kana replied, "Of course no problem, you can take it, I have no use for it."

Gildarts solemnly put away the sapphire key.

Lisanna asked again, "Gildarts, you only mentioned the first point. What about the second point?"

Everyone was also very curious about this and continued to listen quietly.

Gildarts smiled and said, "Of course. It would be meaningless for me to leave Castlevania alone. What we need is for all members of the Fairy Tail Sirius Group to leave here."

After he said this, everyone understood. Indeed, Gildarts could rely on his own bravery to fight his way out of the sealed gate, but given his personality, would he be willing to escape from Demon Castle alone?

Lisanna shook her head and said, "You should actually leave first. Leave Castlevania, get outside, reunite with everyone who's left in Magnolia, and then find a way to rescue us."

Gildarts waved his hand: "Hahahaha... If I do that, I'm not Gildarts anymore."

Everyone smiled helplessly.

In fact, none of them would be willing to escape from Castlevania alone. What they want is for all Fairy Tail members to leave here.

Mirajane asked the most crucial question: "What do you plan to do to get everyone out of Demon City?"

Gildarts smiled mysteriously, then took out a booklet from his arms. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of dense words and a few simple and rough pictures.

"I prepared an illustrated guide to record what I saw and heard, including enemy types, relic types, potion types, event types, etc."

"You know what? As long as you master some tricks, some enemies are not that scary."

"For example, we can actually buy the antidote for Eric the Cobra at Ginana's tavern on the first floor. Then Eric's toxin will be useless to us."

"We can find the exiled 'human slave' Zudir on the second floor. He's not in any palace and must constantly wander, so he's quite weak."

"In addition, the lives of Urrutia, the second layer of the Arc of Time, and Melty, the Sinful Feeling, are connected."

"If you eliminate one of them, the other will die. In other words, there's a certain probability that you can pass through their palace without doing anything."

"Also, one of the two bosses on the second floor, Hades Precito, is actually the second-generation president of our guild."

"If we reveal our identities as members of the Fairy Tail Guild, he might give us a trial and increase the difficulty of the battle overall."

Everyone was shocked. The first part was acceptable, but the part about Preshito in the latter part was bizarre and confusing enough.

Lisanna asked in astonishment, "How can the second-generation leader of our guild be the leader in Demon City?"

Gildarts said, "The specific situation was spread by President Makarov. I didn't meet him, but I met Lucy."

"Lucy met Makarov once, and he asked her to pass this information on to all the Fairy Tail members she met."

Then, Gildarts briefly recounted how Preshito left Fairy Tail, fell into darkness, became the president of the Devil's Heart Guild, and was later captured and imprisoned in Castlevania.

When everyone heard this, they had to believe it and felt that there were too many strange things in the world.

It is really sad that the previous president who entrusted Fairy Tail to Makarov actually became the president of the Dark Guild.

Cana was pleasantly surprised to hear the news about Lucy.

It seems that Lucy is fine for the time being, but she is trapped on the first floor just like them.
