Fairy: You Call this Borrowing Power? This is An Open Robbery!

A lonely boat floats on the calm sea.

The ship moved in a certain direction with the slightly undulating waves.

On the boat, the two figures sat opposite each other.

"Urtia, we... where are we going?""

Meredy, who wrapped his arms around his bent knees, looked at Urtia and asked.

Hear Meredy's words,

Urtia looked to the distance, the direction of the boundary line between the sea and the sky.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Go to your hometown..."

"Hometown..." Meredy was slightly stunned when he heard the words.

Then he asked inexplicably: "But... hasn't that place already become a ruin?"

"Indeed... it has become a ruin many years ago, and where to go this time, it is because I want to worship..."

"Worship the undead of those who died after the disaster..."

Urtia murmured softly.

"So that's the case, although... I don't really want to go to that place again, but I will still accompany Urtia."

The girl who never showed a smile in Juvia's eyes.

In the face of the person he likes the most, even the person who says he regards him as his mother.

Unreservedly showing the brightest smile.

Looking at that smile, Urtia seemed stunned.

Gritting his teeth tightly.

She lowered her head slightly: "Besides...there is another purpose..."

Taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Meredy, and said those two words in a deep voice:

"Atonement!

"Huh?" Meredy obviously didn't quite understand why Urtia said that.

"Actually...the person who destroyed your hometown...is me!!!"

Watching Meredy, Urtia explained with a very serious expression.

Back then, in search of the key to unlock Zeref's seal.

Urtia, Zancrow, and Kain are under Hades' orders.

863 came to the city where Meredy was.

And completely destroyed that place.

It also caused the destruction of the young Meredy's family, walking alone in the town full of fire in tears.

Unfortunately, Meredy was found by Zancrow when she was crying for her mother.

And offered words to kill Meredy.

However, it was stopped by Urtia.

She seemed to see her own shadow in the young Meredy.

So Urtia adopted Meredy and, under Hades' nurturing,

Made her one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of the Demon Heart.

"Originally, in my opinion, the current life is regarded as the [first round] life, because as long as you reach the great magic world, you will complete the arc of time."

"I'm about to usher in the [second round] of life. I think that everything can come from me, no matter how cruel things are, how dehumanizing things, I dare to do..."

"Because the second round of life is my real life and yours, and we will be very happy too."

He smiled poignantly: "Originally, all this was prepared to tell you in your hometown, but it doesn't matter.

"Speaking of which... a witch like me may no longer be qualified to step into your hometown.

"You should want to kill me, but..."

She took a deep breath and seemed to make a decision.

She thinks that she is not qualified to ask Meredy for forgiveness, and Meredy is like a blank piece of paper, and has never (ccbb) contaminated with innocent lives.

Unable to bear Meredy's stained hands, Urtia committed suicide.

The dagger summoned by magic directly pierced her abdomen.

Powerless, she fell into the sea under Meredy's horrified gaze.

At the moment of falling into the sea, Urtia did not feel the coldness she imagined.

Instead, it was unexpectedly warm.

It's like...experienced...mother's embrace.

"Mom... by the way, at Galuna Island... Mom's ice melted into the sea...

"To die in my mother's arms... that's not bad..."

With this thought in mind, Urtia kept sinking towards the bottom of the sea.

18.

The protruding palm grabbed Urtia.

until it was pulled above the sea.

That was Meredy's helping hand.

Meredy, who shared the pain with Urtia using the sensory connection, hugged Urtia tightly.

The rich self-blame, remorse, and sadness were continuously conveyed to Meredy's mind through sensory connection.

It also made her understand Urtia's pain.

"Live..." Urtia seemed to hear Meredy's cry.

"Urtia's grief...and remorse...I understand it all..."

She suddenly raised her head and burst into tears.

"Urtia is the one who raised me and that will never change..."

"Those things are over, please don't leave me alone! 99

"I love Urtia the most!

"So... let's live together!!"

The voice was unusually sharp because of crying.

But like a sharp blade, it pierced through Urtia's heart.

This girl has always kept her emotions hidden in the deepest part.

At this moment, finally unable to hide, shed tears.

wow wow...

The sea water surrounds the two of them,

It seems that these two girls who have completely let go of their hatred are gently hugged in their arms.

Above the endless sky.

Grimoire Heart's magic ship is slowly flying here.

There is no one left in the original Seven Kin of Purgatory,

As a result, only Hades evacuated Sirius Island with a small group of mages.

But at this moment, all the people still on the battleship were enveloped by an indescribable pressure.

Hades, who was covered in bandages, stared blankly at the figure that appeared in front of him.

The horror in his eyes kept pouring out.

"Jay... Zeref..." he murmured.

That face was exactly the same as it was many years ago, a presence that Hades will never forget.

In the next second, ecstasy flooded his heart.

Looking at the wizards who were kneeling on the ground not far away, they shouted:

"The key! Hurry up and get the key!"

However, Hades' orders were not returned.

The sorcerers who fell on one knee on the ground discovered a frightening fact.

They are unable to act, as if they have completely lost the qualification to act.

"There's no need for that at all." Zeref spoke slowly with a grim expression.

With scarlet eyes fixed on Hades, he slowly said the fact that Hades couldn't accept:

"Because I've been awake all the time!"

"It's a sad fact, how many lives have you taken away for that false key, false world?

"A false...world?" Hades' eyes widened in disbelief.

Zeref shook his head, his face seeming to be mocking.

"Precito, I didn't expect you to believe in this kind of thing later, and sure enough... you and darkness always stink. Zeref said coldly.

"No! I have clearly seen it with [eyes], and seeing that you can't even defeat my subordinates..."

Hades covered his right eye, thinking back to the previous battle between Zeref and Urtia.

"That's really my strength," Zeref responded.

"It was only then."

call----!!

An invisible gust of wind blew up Zeref's coat.

The black breath came out instantly, revolving around Zeref.

"I have walked in the long four hundred years, witnessed the struggle of countless human beings, and saw the departure of countless lives.

"But... life is precious, and it's a sad thing for me to know this, my cursed body.

"The more you feel that life is precious, the more you will involuntarily steal the souls of others.

"In order not to take people's lives, I forced myself to forget the value of life.

His fists were clenched tightly, and there was sadness in his tone.

"Have you... been struggling with the preciousness of life?" Hades exclaimed.

"That's right, and because of this, I can't use magic as I want." Zeref nodded and admitted this fact.

The scarlet eyes seemed to be a bit more bloodthirsty.

The constant gushing magic made Hades feel a strong sense of suffocation.

"But if you forget the value of life, it's another matter."

He slowly raised his hands: "It was you who ignited the flames of war, Acnologia has declared the end of the era, and it was your evil thoughts that summoned it."

The icy words that were more piercing than the cold wind of winter echoed in this empty battleship.

"And I, will declare your end!

"Wait...I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you..." Hades got up quickly.

want to say something.

But, it was too late, Zeref's hands and wrists were touching.

The heavy pressure continued to skyrocket in an instant.

In the next second, a black beam of light appeared out of thin air.

Like a scythe wielded by the god of death, it took away Hades' life, and a black beam of light penetrated the orthodox warship.

One rushed into the sky, and the other poured into the sea.

"The sin of summoning Acnologia, and the sin that forced me to forget the preciousness of my life..."

"These sins... repent to my heart's content!!

The endless darkness completely enveloped Hades in an instant.

The heartbeat dissipated at this moment, and the breathing stopped...

thump...

With a crisp sound, Hades slowly fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.

There was no change in Zeref's face as he watched all this.

Just turned around and came to the deck.

Staring at the endless sky, he seemed to notice something

Cold sweat seeped out from his forehead in an instant.

"Are you coming... Acnologia..."

With a long sigh, he closed his eyes tightly.

"This era is coming to an end, and I'm... on a long journey again...

"Goodbye, no, it should be said goodbye... Natsu, and the young man who has yet to grow up, Luo Xingchen..."
