Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 104 Magnolia

Natsu looked confused and didn't understand what was happening.

Happy, who was next to him, immediately realized what was going on, covered his mouth, quickly turned to the side, and said in a trilled "They're having an affair~"

Henia, who was involved, had finally come to her senses after her initial stunned silence.

He already knew the reason for Juvia's special changes.

Previously, in the ruins of the ancient castle, the magic crystal containing the power to bewitch people had just been successfully created, and its power quickly spread throughout the entire swamp area.

Meanwhile, Juvia, who had secretly followed Henia to the edge of the swamp in order to observe her more closely, also fell victim to the trap.

The demonic curse power contained within the magic crystal can rapidly amplify the deepest desires in a person's heart.

At that time, Juvia was at the stage where her interest in Henia was at its peak.

Thus, this feeling, once amplified, transformed into an urgent desire to get closer to Henia.

However, Juvia was far enough away that she only suffered a slight impact in the very edge of the area.

Juvia was somewhat embarrassed to approach Henia rashly, and she also dared not meet the other three members of the Phantom Guild. That's why she lingered in the outer perimeter area and did not go deeper.

This also prevented Juvia from losing her mind and rushing into the swamp after her inner desires were ignited. Instead, she was caught in an even stronger inner struggle and anxiously spun around in circles.

Subsequently, thanks to Henia's timely counterattack, all the dark guild members, monsters, and magical beasts who had approached him with ill intentions were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Juvia was not completely consumed by her inner desires, but instead hid them in her heart and used her water magic to calm her mind.

After that, Juvia quietly waited in the outer area, trying to see Henia again.

Only now have they finally met Henia, who was traveling with Natsu and Happy.

In the blink of an eye, Henia had a rough idea of ​​what had happened.

And so, having absorbed the demonic power of that magic crystal, he rescued Juvia from the torment of lust with a mere wave of his hand.

Juvia felt a sense of lightness throughout her body; the unbearable discomfort she had felt earlier had vanished.

Even my groggy head started to clear and feel relaxed again.

She subconsciously looked up and, sure enough, saw the handsome face that she had been longing for lately.

"Okay, how do you feel now?"

Upon hearing this, Juvia realized that she was currently holding Henia tightly, their bodies pressed very close together, even—

Juvia's face turned even redder, and steam even began to rise from her head.

Henia's question did not rouse Juvia from her dazed state; instead, it made Juvia's already flushed face burn even hotter.

With a soft moan, Juvia quickly pushed herself away from Henia, then, unable to bear the weight of her burning cheeks, fell straight backward.

With a "bang," Juvia collapsed to the ground unconscious, her face flushed red, and the steam rising from her head became even more intense.

But a slight smile lingered on her lips.

Hennia was somewhat helpless about Juvia's "extortionate" behavior.

He didn't have much ill will towards Juvia, especially since the latter hadn't bothered him since their last encounter.

Even in the memories of the other three Phantom Four Elements, he learned that Juvia had even taken the initiative to conceal his whereabouts, thus angering Joseph, the Phantom Guild Master.

Currently, it's basically a state of semi-withdrawal from the association.

Henia looked up and saw Natsu and Happy seemingly waiting for his decision not far away. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke to Juvia, who was using unconsciousness to numb herself and escape the awkward situation, "Juvia, I'm going to the Fairy Tail guild with Natsu now. Do you want to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Juvia, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, immediately stood up and excitedly said to Henia, "Juvia is willing to go with Lady Henia!"

"Very good, then follow me."

"Alright, let's head to the guild together!"

"Yes!"

"Wait, Fairy Tail—"

After the initial excitement of being accepted by Henia faded, Juvia finally realized where they were headed next.

There are many conflicts between Fairy Tail's Mage Guild and her original guild, Phantom Lord.

But now—

"Don't worry, I've got you covered."

Henia patted Jubia on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

Juvia's previously worried expression instantly changed completely, and she happily followed half a step behind Henia, her face full of excitement and happiness.

Henia also introduced Juvia's identity as one of the four elemental mages to Natsu and Happy.

Although the two were somewhat displeased upon hearing Phantom's name, Natsu and Happy showed no hostility towards Juvia. They also displayed great enthusiasm and generosity towards Juvia, who was also going to visit the Fairy Tail guild together.

Just as the three people and one cat embarked on their journey again, a figure in a white dress holding a crystal ball quietly emerged from the depths of the dense forest.

Urudia gazed at Henia's retreating figure, her expression shifting between uncertainty and ambiguity.

Henia possesses not only strong resistance to time magic.

He even managed to successfully transplant the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, which had malfunctioned and contained some of the power of a demonic curse.

There has been no abnormality to this day.

"What a terrifying man—"

Ultear recalled her brief encounter with Henia, and the fleeting glimpse of Henia's new form after Henia unleashed her dragon powers.

She had already raised the level of danger level for Henia to a whole new level.

That kind of power, even for the guild leader—

Once Henia was completely out of sight, Ultear didn't linger and quickly vanished from the spot using magic.

After two days of trekking, Henia and her group, led by Natsu and Happy, finally arrived at Magnolia, the port city where Fairy Tail's guild is located.

Walking on the wide, flat stone street, Natsu looked unbalanced.

"Why don't you get motion sickness, Henia, even though you're also a Dragon Slayer Mage?"

When Natsu mentioned this, his expression was still very unpleasant, clearly still recovering from the recent carriage journey.

"Actually, it's because I've ridden in many vehicles, so I've gotten used to them."

Henia was spouting nonsense with a straight face. His method of learning Dragon Slayer Magic was different from that of Natsu and other Dragon Slayer Mages. In addition to the Magic Crystal, he also had more of the shared power from the Black Mist Space, so he could not be compared with traditional Dragon Slayer Mages like Natsu.

"So Natsu, if you have nothing to do, you can go sit there more often. Maybe you'll get used to it."

Henia suggested with ill intent.

After listening to Henia's advice, Natsu quickly associated it with the horrors of transportation, so he lay down by the roadside and began another round of vomiting.

After escaping the influence of transportation, Henia and her companions finally stood in front of the Fairy Tail guild's gate.

"Henya, Juvia, welcome to Fairy Tail!" Natsu smiled and turned around to introduce Henia and Juvia.

The next instant, he kicked open the guild door and roared as he charged into the guild.
