After everyone's excitement subsided, Wendy and Charlotte went to Eileen to express their gratitude, because if it weren't for her, the Cat's Den would have truly been destroyed.
Seeing the girl and the cat crying their eyes out, Eileen patted Wendy's head and comforted her, "It's alright, don't cry, it's all over now."
Wendy wiped away her tears, her face showing gratitude: "Thank you!"
She turned to look at the happy crowd and said again, "Thank you everyone. Thanks to your help, our guild was saved from destruction."
Everyone laughed and said, "Don't be so polite, this is also our mission!"
Suddenly, Jura remembered something, turned around and looked back, only to find that Zekrein had already left.
He looked relieved; that guy must have reformed.
the next day
The group arrived at the Demon Cat's Lodge and received a warm welcome. Everyone changed into ethnic costumes.
Lucy, dressed in her beautiful new clothes, struck various poses and exclaimed happily, "The Nerubian-style clothes are so pretty!"
Shirley, standing next to her, was also striking poses in front of the mirror: "That depends on who's wearing it."
She suddenly looked at Wendy and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, when did the Cat's Abode join the Guild Alliance?"
Wendy rubbed her hands together a little embarrassedly. Their guild was indeed unknown, and its members rarely went out to other places.
...
At this moment, everyone had gathered in the square. The clan leader led all the clansmen here: "Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Boa Hancock, and Wendy and Charlo, thank you for defeating the Oración Seis and stopping Nirvana!"
"I would like to express my gratitude to you all!"
Everyone waved their hands and said, "You're welcome, it's what we should do."
Everyone was being too polite, constantly thanking them, which made them feel quite embarrassed.
Leon looked at Jura and Sherry and smiled, "Our mission has been successfully completed."
Natsu and Happy laughed: "Then we should hold a party!"
"It's so hard for everyone to get together!"
The crowd cheered and, led by Yi Ye, broke into an awkward dance on the spot.
Eileen and Acnologia both blushed and scratched their toes. These young people like to play awkward games, don't they?
However, the awkwardness didn't last long before Erza and Lucy dragged them into square dancing.
After jumping for a while, everyone saw that the old man looked preoccupied and was puzzled. Shouldn't he be happy to have won?
The clan chief looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "Everyone here, I want to apologize to you all for concealing the matter of the Nirubite Clan."
"Perhaps you don't care, but I really need to make this clear today..."
Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, he continued, "I am the one who created Nirvana!"
Lucy asked doubtfully, "But I heard that Nirvana was created four hundred years ago?"
"Yes!"
The clan chief nodded gently and slowly recounted the origins and magic of Nirvana.
At that time, the world was ravaged by war, and people were suffering. In order to end the world's conflicts, he created Nirvana.
However, this super magic that switched between light and darkness was truly terrifying. It turned the world upside down, blurring the lines between good and evil. By the time it was discovered and stopped, the kingdom had already been destroyed.
"I am now merely a manifestation of longing. I have remained in the mortal realm for four hundred years, waiting for someone to appear who can destroy Nirvana."
A relieved smile appeared on his face: "My mission is now complete."
Everyone stood frozen in place, Wendy with tears streaming down her face, watching the phantom figures of longing disappear one by one behind the clan leader: "How could this be... everyone..."
Wendy collapsed to her knees, crying out, "Don't leave me alone!"
Eileen suddenly said, "If you don't want to die, I can save your life."
Lucy quickly said, "It's enchantment magic, which can enchant souls. Thought bodies should be the same."
The clan chief paused for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, "No need. I'm too tired. Death is the only true relief for me."
He looked at everyone and bowed deeply: "I'm entrusting Wendy and Charlotte to you!"
He gave Wendy one last look, a kind gaze on his face, before turning into light and disappearing.
"Live well, you already have true companions..."
"don't want!!!"
Wendy reached out to touch the fading light, tears welling in her eyes. The emblem of the Demon Cat's Abode on her arm had disappeared.
"Why..."
She knelt on the ground, distraught, tears streaming down her face.
All her relatives are gone, leaving her all alone...
The crowd watched in silence, observing the distraught little girl, unsure how to comfort her.
Erza stepped forward, gently embraced Wendy, and whispered, "From now on, you'll have us, your companions, with you..."
"Wendy, come to Fairy Tail guild!"
...
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye...
Everyone had already returned to the guild, and each person who went on the mission received a considerable reward. Lucy, in particular, received three Celestial Keys.
With Wendy and Charlene joining Fairy Tail, Makarov was overjoyed. The guild now had five Dragon Slayers, and it seemed that recruiting Dragon Slayers from all over the world into the guild would be just around the corner.
Gajeel watched as all the Dragon Slayer Mages had cat companions, and he felt anxious. Why didn't he have one?
As for Acnologia, he doesn't count either. That guy doesn't even count; I've never seen him use Dragon Slayer Magic.
Lucy looked at Acnologia sitting in a chair with a stack of books on the table and asked curiously, "Are you reading? Or looking for something?"
Isn't it obvious?
Acnologia laughed, saying that he had recently discovered he was very famous in the world of novels.
The novel copied four hundred years ago is regarded as a classic, attracting countless people to imitate it.
Lucy suddenly said, "Actually, there's a famous novelist who shares your name."
She had once suspected that Acnologia was that great god, but found that he had never touched these novels and seemed to have no interest in them.
In fact, that author has never shown her face; all her novels and parenting manuals were published on her behalf by her family.
Although they made a lot of money, their ancestors forbade them from using it, saying that one day that great master might come and take it.
"That's interesting…" Acnologia nodded with a smile.
Lucy felt slighted and said somewhat resentfully, "He's an idol to all writers. You don't know what kind of status he has in the world of novels. Many people want to meet him."
"pity..."
Acnologia asked, "What's a pity?"
Lucy said sadly, "The person is gone!"
"Those novels had been stored in our family library for hundreds of years before they were published. That great author should have been buried long ago."
Acnologia: "..."
I can't ignore this; I'm perfectly fine.
"Speaking of which, how's that five-headed dragon who loves reading novels doing?"
Acnologia frowned in thought. The five dragons had already arrived in the New World, and without him as an enemy threatening them, there was no need for them to continue staying inside Natsu and the others.
It seems we need to find an opportunity to check Natsu's body; they might also be trapped.
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
Suddenly, a bell rang throughout the entire town of Magnolia.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
People on the street tensed up. Such an emergency bell was rarely heard, so they all ran home. All the vendors packed up their stalls, and soon the whole town was deserted.
