Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 97 The Final Stage of the Hunt

Anna forced herself to calm down, slowly stood up, and asked:
"Who are you? Why are you on this island?"

The man who appeared here was, of course, Endymion.

Endymion did not answer Anna's question immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the black figure wearing a Pilu hat on his shoulder and said:

"Obra, you completed your mission well. I will keep my promise. You can go back first."

The black man chirped excitedly a few times and jumped a few times on Endymion's shoulder, obviously very happy.

Endymion waved his hand, and a strange door opened beside him. Behind the door was a dark vortex, and nothing else could be seen.

The black man called "Obra" glanced at Anna, and like a monkey, he jumped from Endymion's shoulder into the black vortex inside the door and disappeared.

With a whoosh, Endymion closed the door as well.

Anna couldn't help but secretly praise:
This is very powerful space magic, and it is also the best among humans. This is a powerful magician. I don’t know if he is an enemy or a friend. I have to be careful when dealing with him.

Endymion looked around again, first at Anna's cabin, then at the stream not far away, and finally at Anna.

Seeing that face that bore some resemblance to Lucy Heartfilia, and the fact that she appeared so close to the gap in time, Endymion immediately guessed that she was Anna.

To travel through the Eclipse Gate to the future, there must be a Star Magician at two points in time and space, each choosing a moment with high magic concentration, and using the Zodiac Star Key to open the Eclipse Gate.

More than four hundred years ago it was Anna, and more than four hundred years later it was Leila. This is the mission that runs through the Heartfilia family.

However, these things are irrelevant.

He said calmly:

"I think a war will break out here soon, enough to destroy this island. If you don't want to die, leave now."

Anna had finally found a gap in time to deal with the "Black Dragon" Acnologia, so how could she give up so easily? She immediately refused:
"This is impossible... I don't care who you are, please leave here immediately."

Endymion shook his head and said, "Really? Then there's nothing we can do."

Anna sensed danger.

She retreated cautiously while reaching for the Star Spirit Key at her waist.

Although she has lost all the Zodiac Keys, she still has other Celestial Keys that can be used in combat.

Unexpectedly, she only took a step back and heard a swish sound. A strange door like the one just now suddenly appeared beside her.

A strong suction force pulled her inside.

Anna was horrified and took out the Star Spirit Key, trying desperately to open the Star Spirit Door, but she only heard a few clang clang clang sounds, followed by a dull bang.

She was shocked to find that the Star Gate she had opened a little was forcibly closed.

She could only let out a scream before being sucked into the dark vortex behind the strange door with a pale face.

The door of anything closed and disappeared in one go.

After grabbing Anna and throwing her into the castle, Endymion looked around and walked into Anna's cabin. The cabin was very simple, but it had everything it needed for daily life: a bed, a boiler, a table and chairs, a bookshelf, a fireplace, and basically everything else.

Endymion found a book from the bookshelf, opened it and read a few pages. After confirming that it was the type of book that interested him, he sat on a chair nearby and started reading to pass the time.

He was waiting for someone. If his calculations were correct, those who planned to hunt him would be here soon.

Unconsciously, the twilight rays of light shone through the window onto Endymion's fingers. He did not wait for the enemy to attack. It seemed that the enemy was more cautious than he had imagined.

Endymion didn't care when his pursuers would arrive. He put the book away and walked out of the cabin.

If they don't come to find me, then I will take this opportunity to take a look at the gap in time.

In fact, before landing on the island, Obra had already taken Endymion to confirm the existence of the time gap.

The gap in time was invisible to the naked eye, but Endymion could feel its presence and an inexplicable, dangerous attraction.

That feeling is like standing on a high place and wanting to jump down without any protection. It is frightening, but also uncontrollable.

Of course, Endymion would not reach out to touch such a dangerous place. Even if he possessed the "blood of the god Chronos", it did not mean that he would be safe in a place filled with the magic of time.

Even the "Black Dragon" Acnologia was forcibly separated into body and spirit when he entered the gap between time, let alone other people?

Of course, Acnologia also benefited from this. He devoured the magic of time and became more powerful than ever before. He was the "Dragon of the End" that truly made people on both continents despair.

In that state, if you want to defeat Acnologia, you must first trap his black dragon body that remains in the real world, and then kill Acnologia in the separated spiritual world in order to succeed.

Endymion was about to open the Anything Door and move closer to the gap in time when he suddenly sensed something and looked far away at the end of the sea.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
He gave up going to the gap between time, turned around, and jumped lightly between the woods and mountain walls, and soon climbed to the highest peak of the island.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Endymion looked into the distance and saw many black spots appearing on the sea dyed orange by the sunset glow, like small spots.

However, when these small spots got closer, they could clearly see that they were magical ships, causing waves, and the flags of the Magic Council were flying on the ships, fluttering in the wind.

As expected, the Magic Council is involved.

However, it will definitely not be led by that group of good-for-nothing speakers and council members. The people who come are most likely the Ten Holy Mages.

Now that all the hunters had arrived, Endymion took out the transmitter from his arms, pinched it with his fingers, and crushed it with a snap.

It has completed its mission.

Not long after, before the magic ships got close, five figures jumped out of the carriages, flew onto the sea, and landed on the island.

One of them pointed at Endymion on the top of the mountain, apparently noticing that he had not concealed his presence.

Then, the five figures rushed here at a rapid speed. In just a few breaths, they passed through the woods and mountain walls and arrived in front of Endymion.

The four at the top of the Ten Holy Mages, now known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar", and the last one, "Iron Iron" Jura, all gathered here to confront Endymion.
