Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 95 Kana Confession
Gildarts continued, "There's also the third level, the 'Absolute Zero' Silver. If you defeat him, he'll give you a key."

"He has a past vendetta against the devil, so you can use that key to summon him to your aid while you're fighting another devil."

"Also, there's a certain chance that Sera from "Liang Yue Tian" will appear in the palace of "Xing Li Tian" Kuang Hua. The reverse is also possible, but I haven't verified it yet."

"In short, in Kuanghua's palace, I experienced the first battle where I faced two elites alone."

"Although I won that battle, I was also injured, which was one of the reasons why I lost to Maldor later."

The more Gildarts spoke, the more excited he became.

He held the small illustrated book in his hand and waved it in front of everyone. "I will share all the content here and update it in a timely manner. This way, we can fully understand Castlevania."

"Only by understanding Castlevania, using its mechanics to grow, and exploiting the relationships and weaknesses of our enemies to win, can we achieve our goal of freeing everyone from Castlevania."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

The only ones who can do this are Gildarts, Makarov, Erza and a few others. Only they can stably pass through the first three floors of Castlevania.

They all praised Gildarts's courage and were willing to help Gildarts spread the information and provide material assistance every time Gildarts passed through this stronghold.

Everyone planned to set up a small campfire camp, which coincided with Erza's idea.

After chatting for a while, Mirajane and Lisanna helped copy the existing contents of Gildarts's illustrated book.

Elfman went to stop a dispute in the camp.

Only Gildarts and Kanna were left by the campfire.

Gildarts rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

He has a pretty good relationship with Cana, but it's definitely not as close as he is with Natsu, Gray, Lisanna, and Happy, because these guys have been following him around since they were little.

Every time Kana saw him, she was a little shy and didn't dare to get close to him. As time went by, they didn't know each other much.

Just when he was wondering how to get along with Kana in private, Kana stared at the campfire in a daze for a while, made up her mind, and turned to look at him.

Gildarts suddenly felt his heart pounding for no apparent reason, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Kana?"

Kana looked at Gildarts and said succinctly, "Gildarts, there's one thing I've never told you... Actually, I'm your biological daughter."

After a long silence, Gildarts suddenly jumped up and yelled, "Huh?!"

This caused many people around to look over here in surprise, and only turned their heads away after seeing that nothing dangerous had happened.

Kana ignored Gildarts's loss of composure and continued to tell him her life story.

In the middle of his speech, Gildarts sat down again and clasped his hands together in silence and nervousness.

Kana concluded, "I have no evidence to prove that you and I are related by blood, so it's okay if you don't believe it. Besides, I'm not holding you responsible for what I've said..."

Gildarts stood up and hugged her tightly: "I believe, Kana, I believe that only the daughter of Cornelia and me can be so beautiful."

"I'm such a fool. I turned a blind eye to such an obvious fact. My daughter is right next to me..."

Cana silently buried her face deeper in her chest as she listened to Gildarts' gentle whispers.

She hadn't dared to speak these words for years, but now, after speaking them out in one breath, she felt a sense of relief. Gildarts didn't deny her, as she had imagined, but instead believed her instantly. This finally put Kana's heart at ease.

Lucy was right, these things should have been said a long time ago.

What a fool I am.

"Castlevania Second Floor, Bonfire Camp"

When the people here saw someone entering, they just took a look and went back to doing their own things. The entire camp was in order.

Natsu didn't know how many times he had defeated the boss of the first floor and entered the second floor.

In short, he would fail at the second level every time and could never get past the second level boss.

Whether it is Preshito or Bruno, they are both too strong.

Of course, the reason for the defeat was also due to his impatience.

Ever since that day on Tenrou Island when his companions were forcibly snatched away by the "Demon Lord" Endymion, he had been climbing non-stop, without stopping to summarize his experience.

Even though he met many fellow Fairy Tail guild members along the way, such as Fried, Juvia, Levy, and even his partner Happy, they were unable to stop him.

He was holding back his anger and was determined to go up and give Endymion, the "Demon King" at the top, a good beating.

But the reality is always cold, constantly pouring cold water on his head. He can't even get through the leader's palace on the second floor, and can't reach the third floor, so how can he talk about reaching the top floor?

Natsu, who was driven by anger, gradually calmed down.

Because he had lost so many times to Preshito and Bruno, he was confused and hesitant after reaching the second floor.

Although he is reckless and impulsive, he is not a fool. He can be said to be a genius in combat. He knows how to adapt in combat.

But how can we defeat these two powerful enemies?

Suddenly, he heard a cough and looked up. To his surprise and delight, he saw a short, hunched figure standing in front of him.

"Old man?"

Natsu jumped forward joyfully, throwing himself on the ground like a soccer goalie and hugging Makarov tightly.

Makarov smiled kindly.

Ever since he was trapped in Castlevania, he had been hearing about Natsu's situation from different guild members, but he had never been able to see him in person. This time, he finally met him.

He stroked Natsu's short cherry-colored hair and smiled, "I've heard about your recent rampage. You've died and been reborn many times in the second-floor boss palace, right?"

Natsu looked embarrassed.

Makarov laughed and scolded, "What an idiot! The chief's palace is different from other enemy palaces. Three people can enter at the same time. Have you forgotten the power of companions?"

"I've run into Erza, Gray, and Gajeel before. If I'm not mistaken, they'll probably arrive at the leader's palace around the same time."

"If we're lucky and the three of us unite, we'll have a good chance of winning against Brunoth. Of course, if we encounter Hades Precito, we'll have to see if we can destroy his demonic heart."

"By the way, you probably don't know about Preshito yet, right? Let me tell you again."
