[Fairy Tail] Link criss-cross

【Seventeen】

"Found the intruder!!"

After being interrupted, she suddenly became absorbed, and the soldier appeared again in front of her eyes.

Just about to make a move, the unexpected crimson color floated in the field of vision again, and the female knight dressed in swordsman armor brandished a knife and attacked orderly and fiercely.

"Eluza!!" Natsu yelled.

"It seems to be all right." Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.

"...so handsome!..." Juvia exclaimed inexplicably.

When the female knight heard the voice, she turned her head and looked over, her pupils shrank sharply:

"Why are you here!?"

Lucy tilted her head: "Hey, 'why' or something...?"

"go back!!"

The crimson-haired female knight interrupted Lucy's words with a strong tone.

"This is not where you should come!!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Erza." Natsu clenched his hands into fists, sparks flew, "If you stop like this after being underestimated, it will damage the reputation of Fairy Tail! That four-horned head will never let him go !"

"I tell you to go back!" Erza's voice was indescribably stiff.

"But Happy was caught! Absolutely can't go back like this!"

"Happy?!...Could it be Milianna?..." Erza frowned.

Lopez's eyes widened.

—Milliana...? !

——It’s really a few of them...

——No, something is wrong...

—and what I know...

——What's the difference...!

"Where is that guy!!?" Natsu asked hurriedly.

"I don't know." Erza shook her head.

Naz wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand: "Okay, I see."

"What do you know..." Gray.

"Happy is waiting for me!!!" Natsu ran out after saying this.

"Hey! Natsu!!"

"That idiot..."

"Let's go too."

"No!!" Erza drew out a sharp sword and threw it in front of them, "Milliana is famous for being fond of cats. I don't think she will harm Happy. I will take the two of them back. Get out of here immediately!"

"No, Erza wants to come too!"

"This is my problem, I don't want to involve you." Erza turned around and took a step forward.

"Enough has been involved, you have seen that Natsu." Gray said, "As usual, just say 'no need to say more' and 'come with me', Erza."

The pace froze.

"Eluza...what is this tower? Who is Geral...?" Lucy closed her eyes slightly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say... Those guys said they were Erza's former partners, but we It's my current partner!... Erza's partner at all times!"

The back of the crimson-haired female knight seemed to be trembling uncontrollably:

"go back……!"

Lopez was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, her khaki cloak fluttered in the air, her face was obviously tired, she spoke slowly:

"Eluza, tell us the truth."

"I know Erza lied for my own good, but I don't care if it was to comfort me or protect me,"

"At least for now,"

"Tell us all the truth since I left here."

"Don't always think about carrying it alone, please try,"

"Depend on us."

Lucy, Gray, and Juvia on the side were stunned when they heard these words. They only knew that she and Erza had known each other before, but they didn't expect...

Seeing the surprised expressions of several people, she apologized weakly in her heart.

——Sorry, this kind of dirty thing... I don't want you to know.

After hearing Lopez's words, Erza's back was still trembling, and her long crimson hair kept drawing short arcs in the air. It is obvious that jumping can be used to describe the scene where her hair trembled slightly. But extremely sad.

The female knight froze for a moment, then turned around silently.

She saw continuous teardrops slowly running down the knight's smooth face, and the reflected light made the eyes of several people hurt.

The breathing of several people stagnated suddenly.

"Elsa..."

After lingering in the air for a while, the teardrops fell to the ground, and only the faint and uniform water stains on the ground still vaguely showed its existence.

The female knight quickly wiped away her tears, her lips and teeth moved slightly.

"Whether I win or lose this battle, I will disappear from the outside world."

"Eh!?"

"……what happened!?"

Erza held the place where the armor was attached to the other hand with her hand, her eyes were dim:

"This is the future that cannot be fought, so,"

"While I am still alive, I will tell you everything."

Lopez's hands hidden under the cloak have already clenched into fists, and the joints have turned slightly white.

This is [Tower of Paradise], also known as [R System]. Ten years ago, in order to activate the magic of resurrecting the dead, the sect longing for dark magic grabbed the living sacrifices it needed and used them as labor to build it. .

Both Erza and Lopez were among the living sacrifices at that time.

By chance, they got to know each other and got to know Gerald, Sheng, Milianna and Wally.

At that time, the escape organized by several people was discovered by the guards. Erza was arrested and tortured instead of Sheng. Gerald and Lopez worked together to rescue Erza who was covered in bruises, but they were arrested by the guards instead of her. .

This is a turning point.

Although Lopez was in a coma during the torture, this did not prevent her from understanding the situation of Gerald who was punished together:

Gerald has changed.

It has become the complete opposite of him who used to be confident that Sunshine has excellent leadership skills.

That is, an existence that can be described as evil.

[[When Lopez opened his eyes, he was still tied to the torture pole.

In front of him was Gerald who grinned strangely.

"Jay...Lal?" Lopez was stunned for a moment, seeing the cold and strange atmosphere surrounding the boy, he quickly denied himself, "No, it's not... who are you!?"

"Hehe..." Gerald ignored her inquiry, and lowered his head and laughed a few times in an incomprehensible way. When he raised his head again, his face was full of madness and distortion, "Hatred is my existence."

"……Eh!?"

"Stupid humans, yes, indeed, that adult clearly exists here."

"What are you... talking about..."

"Hey, Lopez," Gerald stepped forward and put his hand on her face, "honored."

"Being able to do something for a desperate world."

The eyes are blocked by hands, and the field of vision is dark, only the voice full of madness echoes in the ears, and the uneasiness in the heart is rapidly churning:

"Hey... what are you doing!!?"

"Be honored to be able to enjoy this despair."

She keenly felt the tingling where her hand and Gerald's hand came into contact.

"...endowed to you,"

This pain has spread to the whole body, and the blazing heat of the red lotus karma burns all the senses.

Every joint, every inch of skin, every cell was screaming and trembling.

The body has lost consciousness.

Her eyes were dull, she silently watched the boy in front of her and finished her sentence:

"Excellent,"

"—Curse of the Eighteen Fighting Gods of Evil Demons."]]

But Erza knew nothing about it, and organized everyone in the cell to fight for freedom and to rescue Gerald and Lopez.

A big riot started.

Erza led them to fight against the cult, and that day was the time to liberate the eighth part.

Whether it is a child or an old man, they all hold simple weapons in their hands, and even if they are exhausted or bruised, they still fight against the enemy.

But this riot attracted large-scale magic soldiers.

People fled in despair, even Ersha shouted to organize people's hearts, but it didn't help.

Erza, who still wanted to fight, was at the end.

The magic soldiers were scattered in the area behind her, and the orange-red magic arrays in front of her had already unfolded, accumulating magic power and preparing to launch.

Erza hugged her head and prepared to accept her fate.

[["The wind field burst!"

A voice suddenly sounded when the magic soldier launched an attack.

There was a loud noise accompanied by the dispersal of smoke and dust in the sky. After dissipating for a while, Erza was unharmed. The girl who was also wearing a tattered prison uniform stood in front of her.

Erza breathed a sigh of relief almost the moment she saw that thin back.

"Lopez! Are you alright!?...Where's Gerald!?"

The black-haired girl who heard Erza's shout slowly turned around.

Erza was stunned.

Those warm brown eyes that usually give them hope and encouragement when they are exhausted and desperate, are now lifeless and chaotic.

There was nothingness.

"...Lo, Lopez!?" Erza's voice was full of panic.

The girl with black hair and brown eyes still maintained the posture of launching a magic attack to block the magic soldiers just now, and stared blankly at Erza. After a while, those eyes loosened a little, and she spoke slightly:

"...Ai... Lusa..."

"It's me! Lopez, what's wrong with you!?"

The black-haired girl's eyes dimmed again, she stabilized her posture slightly, raised her hand towards Erza, her tone was dull and lifeless:

"Wind disease, giant blade."

"...Eh!!?" ​​Erza exclaimed, and hurriedly dodged to the side, dodging the wind blade that hit her, "Lopez, what's wrong with you! Wake up!!!"

The dark-haired girl was unmoved.

The magic soldiers who had just been shot down flew into the air again, but this time they jointly launched a huge magic circle.

Immediately, a huge magic sword was formed, and after a moment's rest, it quickly attacked Erza.

The crowd behind them was restless.

The girl with black hair and brown eyes was startled slightly, then moved.

Facing the dazzling magic light, Erza, who raised her head slightly, can vaguely distinguish that the girl who was clearly out of her mind just now is helping her resist the attack of the magic soldiers. Frightening light fluttered and filled the sky.

The collision between the magic attacks made Erza cover her eyes, and when the light dissipated, there was no one in front of her eyes.

Whether it was the magic soldier or the huge magic sword, they were all gone.

Lopez's figure also disappeared without a trace.

"Lopez!!!!!!!!!"

The huge crimson magic circle unfolded violently. 】】

Erza awakened the magic after Lopez disappeared, and single-handedly wiped out the remaining magic soldiers who came to suppress them.

She led everyone to eliminate the guards in other places, and then Erza went to the torture room.

Carefully supporting the wounded young man, Erza told him what happened just now.

【"We have won and are now free!!...Although Lopez is now missing to protect me...may be dead...everyone has suffered a lot of injuries...but we are finally free!! "]

The blue-haired boy just showed that weird smile, and the darkness in his eyes gradually filled.

【"Elusha, we don't have to run away anymore."】

【"Eh?... What are you talking about, Gerald!? Wally and the others are already waiting for us on the boat..."】

The girl froze, already tightly strangled by Gerald, her feet were slightly off the ground.

【"True freedom is here!"】

The author has something to say: 2333 I tried my best to add original 2333 [cover my face] to the plot.

I really want to die ah ah ah [rolling]

In other words, I always feel that the Tower of Paradise chapter is so difficult to write! ! ! 【Referring to 【Important things should be said twice】【etc.

And there are many memories in these chapters, and there are many plot references in TV and comics, so it may be boring [Sluggish], everyone should convert the plot of Fairy Tail into text to see [Innocent Face

Hey, little angels, don't abandon me [tearful eyes]
