Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Shirou, there are too many wounded. Could you spare some of your own to help them?"

"I refuse."

"Sigh...? There are just too many injured people. The three of us can't possibly save them all. If this continues, the mortality rate will reach over 90%."

"It doesn't matter. Those who kill will be killed in return. Since they dared to come and slay the dragon, they should naturally be prepared to die. If they can survive even a tenth of the time, that's enough for them to be grateful for."

"Um...but..."

Mavis hesitated for a moment. Although she could understand Shirou's feelings, it was hard to ignore the screams of so many people in front of her.

Moreover, these people are all colleagues from the Kingdom of Fiore, and they often see each other.

I'm not exactly familiar with them, but I often see their names and appearances in magazines.

If all these people die here, the Kingdom of Fiore will definitely experience great turmoil in the future.

"These people are not our enemies. After today, they should no longer be enemies with Fairy Tail."

“I could never do something as nice as sending salt to the enemy.”

"Is this a proverb you just invented? It might become popular someday. If you don't want to save people, how about using magic to keep them alive? Just keep them from dying."

Shirou sighed inwardly. Although he didn't really want to save these people, Mavis was right. These were just cannon fodder incited by Future Rogue, not their enemies.

"can."

He whispered the incantation, and a pale blue light emanated from Shirou's hand, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

The people who were on the verge of death gradually regained some vitality.

Of course, it only means they won't die.

"That's great! Thank you. This way, casualties can be minimized."

"You're welcome. It feels very strange to be thanked by you for something like this."

"Then I won't say thank you."

Mavis smiled slightly, then changed the subject, saying:

"Well done. Thanks to you this time, we were able to easily thwart the Fiore Kingdom's attempts to contact us and expose Future Rogge's conspiracy. Thank you for your hard work."

"This trouble was caused by me..."

"Stop! Have you forgotten Fairy Tail's rules? Never apologize to your comrades for something like this."

"Is this clause in the rules? I don't remember it."

"Anyway, I'm going to rescue them first."

Mavis suddenly seemed to remember something and laughed:

"Shirou, do you have any paper and a pen? This is a rare opportunity; let them write down the treatment costs on an IOU."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it right away." Shirou glanced at Princess Emerald not far away, looking surprised. "Didn't the princess just say that all expenses for this trip would be covered by the kingdom?"

"That's just compensation; the medical expenses will definitely be calculated separately. In addition, there's the compensation I just paid on their behalf."

"Does this also cost money?"

"Of course. Anyway, those guilds are rich and powerful, they don't care about the money at all, so it's a good opportunity to rip them off. In fact, if we don't take the money, they'll be even more uneasy."

"What's the point of this?"

"Is it hard to understand? You've offended the legendary dragon, and it let you go. If you do nothing, you'll definitely worry about retaliation later, right?"

It turned out to be the case.

Shirou immediately realized that, indeed, they would feel much more at ease after receiving compensation.

"Do you need any help?"

"It is absolutely necessary. Please make sure to send as many clones as possible to help."

"No way."

"Didn't you say you were going to help?" Mavis pouted.

"It is limited to myself, and the help is limited to using my magical hands to move the injured and handing them paper and pen to write IOUs."

"Alright then, I'll leave it to you!"

"You are welcome."

Of course, because there were so many injured people, even after sunset, many were still lying on the ground, constantly groaning in pain.

Although Shirou possesses the ability to heal them instantly, as the instigator, he has no such intention and is merely assisting Mavis and Future Lucy.

Just then, a magical vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the town.

With a burst of excited shouts, Fairy Tail members fell one by one from the vortex in the sky.

Chapter 378 (Section 379) I Was Actually a BUG

"Whoa... Why does Fairy Tail's base look different now? Could we have ended up in a new parallel world?"

After landing, Natsu stood in front of the Fairy Tail guild's gate and couldn't help but look back and forth.

If it weren't for the Fairy Tail logo painted on the plaque above the door, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Natsu, when did Fairy Tail get a makeover?" Lisanna asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Fairy Tail wasn't like this before we went to Edolas."

Before he could finish speaking, Natsu suddenly frowned and began to sniff.

"The smell of blood is so strong! What happened? Over there!"

Upon discovering that Natsu had suddenly rushed out of the city, Lisanna and the others quickly followed.

The Fairy Tail members who returned later, though they didn't understand what had happened, also ran out.

When Natsu and Lisanna arrived outside the city, Mavis and the others were still busy treating the wounded.

The bloodstains on the ground had long since congealed, but the stench of blood lingered in the air.

"First Generation, Shirou, what happened? Huh...? Lucy, how did you get here so fast?"

"Natsu, Happy."

Seeing Natsu's familiar attire and Happy following behind him, Future Lucy couldn't help but cry.

When she first saw the first generation, she didn't feel anything particularly strong, but the familiar figures of Natsu and Happy were so nostalgic that her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

The modern-day Lucy, who followed behind, saw herself in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"How come there's another me? And the guild is different from before. Have we entered a parallel world again?"

Immediately afterwards, they all saw the seriously injured people around them and looked at Shirou with a lot of doubt.

"This is Lucy from the future, who traveled here seven years from now..."

Before Shirou could finish speaking, a modern-day Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible! How could I look exactly the same seven years from now? Even with the best maintenance, it's impossible for me to have not grown at all, right?"

"Don't interrupt, let me finish."

Shirou paused for a moment, then continued his explanation:

"...That future Rogue, who was even later than Lucy, has already been killed by me. Now, if you have time, please help treat these wounded."

"So that's what happened? To defeat so many mages in an instant, truly worthy of being our guild's strongest ace!"

Natsu changed the subject and laughed again:

"After visiting a parallel world, I've become even stronger. Come and challenge me."

"Oh...? A life-or-death duel?" Shirou chuckled.

"No, it's a friendly match."

Natsu quickly replied.

"In that case, Shadow Clone Technique."

The next instant, a clone of Shirou appeared beside Natsu.

"Oh... It's been a long time since we've had a showdown. I'm determined to win this time."

Seeing this, Lisanna walked up to Shirou and greeted him with a smile:

"You two are still so close, Shirou. It's been a long time, and you look much more rugged now."

Shirou looked surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"You know me?"

"Huh...? Could it be that I've mistaken you for someone else? You're not Shirou, but someone else."

"No, you haven't mistaken me for someone else. I am Shirou, the person you know."

Shirou quickly calmed down and began to analyze what was going on.

“I understand!” Lisanna suddenly said, “Two years ago, I didn’t actually die. At that time, I happened to be sucked into the Edolas world. Two years later, I’m back now.”

Welcome back.

Despite saying that, Shirou actually doesn't quite remember much about her.

After all, more than four hundred years have passed.

Moreover, what Shirou remembers most vividly and what he still feels most deeply is the moment before Natsu and the others died.

Lisanna was sucked into a parallel world, and the day of her funeral was two years earlier than the Tenrou Island incident.

"What I find strange is why you remember me? No one else knew me until the day I rejoined the guild a few months ago."

And this is the normal situation.

Could it be that the parallel world Edolas and this world are not interconnected?

I traveled to four hundred years in the past of this world and changed its past, but I failed to affect the other world.
