The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

The demon in the Book of Zeref is a legend of Ishgar that has been circulating in the magical world for hundreds of years.

But most people know very little about this legend.

According to records in ancient books, these "demons" are species created by Zeref. Zeref wrote their summoning methods in a book, which is the so-called "Book of Zeref". One book corresponds to A demon.

Each of these demons is powerful, and some can even destroy a country by themselves. The "Deliora" who caused chaos in the north of the mainland more than ten years ago, and the "Song Song Larabai" who caused chaos a few months ago, They are all one of them; the strongest demon is named "END".

This is all that ordinary people in the wizarding world can know.

There is also a mysterious legend in Ishgar.

The object of the legend is the Gate of Hades, one of the "Balam Alliance" that was just established this year.

No one knows the true identity of the members of this guild, and no one knows where their base is or how many there are, but it is often said that people have witnessed them holding rallies.

All witnesses gave them the same description: they were worshiping the devil!

Because of this, the Four Heavenly Kings, who have some knowledge and status in Ishgar, speculated that the Gate of Hades held the "Devil of the Book of Zeref". Other than that, no one would connect these two legends together. !

In fact, only a very few people know the truth: all members of the Gate of Hades are demons from the Book of Zeref!

…

The demons in the Book of Zeref, also known as "Atrias", all have a strong desire to return to Zeref.

For a long time, they thought that it was like an animal returning to its nest, the body's instinct to pursue the creator, because that's what the acting president "Pluto" Maldo Gil told them.

But in fact, that was the mark that Zeref put on them when he created them. All demons with this mark will search for Zeref at all costs, and then...

kill him!

Although the Atrias have the same, almost instinctive impulse, they also have their own will, their own hobbies, joys and sorrows.

In 'Gates of Hades', some demons like to order others; some like to train others; some like to read and create stories; some like pure killing; some like the audio-visual experience of explosions...

As for Pluto, Maldo Gil, his hobby is to show off his wisdom and means, and then revel in the "perfect plan" he wrote!

Maldo has always regarded himself as a "strategist" and "conspirator". He despises human beings, has a cruel temper, and is also an extremely arrogant devil.

Compared with the powerful strength that makes his subordinates fearful, he can show his "strategy" and "wisdom" in front of them that is far superior to other demons or humans, and then watch the other party perish step by step according to his own plan. The time when you are most proud and have the most sense of superiority.

When Gates of Hades was founded, he set two goals for the guild: one was to awaken the guild leader "END"; the other was to return to Zeref.

But in Pluto's heart, the latter is far more important than the former.

Resurrecting "END" is just a part of the plan to "return to Zeref and kill him", and the reason for making this plan is that he feels that "END" is more likely to complete "killing Zeref" this matter.

If the resurrection is successful, it means that he has been strategizing for many years and has far-reaching wisdom; if the resurrection fails, then this is an insignificant "point" in the overall situation, just like his subordinate 'Nine Ghost Sect', which can be sacrificed at any time!

To this end, he can conceal, beguile, deceive, and sacrifice his subordinates without any conscience. In the end, he doesn't even care about his own life, just to complete his "perfect plan"!

Affected by instinct, no member has ever doubted the connection between "awakening the president" and "returning to Zeref", so they have never given up on resurrecting "END".

A few months ago, the Senate was destroyed by Jellal and Urrutia, and after Speaker Crowford was forced to resign, he held a grudge against it, and finally he sought the gate of Hades.

From Crowford's mouth, Pluto and others learned about the existence of the white legacy "Fez", which is the magic pulse bomb developed by Zeref, a strategic weapon that can dissipate all magic on the continent.

Eliminating the magic power that human magicians need to live seems to speed up their plans!

With this idea, Pluto summoned all the members of the "Nine Ghost Sect" and told them: as long as "Fez" is activated, the magic power on the continent will disappear, and the "curse power" used by the devil will increase. This It is the condition for "END" resurrection!

The "Nine Ghost Sect" naturally obeyed orders and each prepared to launch an investigation.

At this moment, they sensed Zeref's call!

…

At this moment, on the speeding floating island, ten demons gathered together after a long absence, discussing the next mission.

In the gloomy palace, a slender figure was sitting on the king's chair, legs crossed, leaning on the armrest with his right hand, holding a dark brown magic book with the English letters "END" written on the cover. The flickering dim candlelight reflected the ghostly appearance of this figure.

He is "Hades", Maldo Gil.

I don't know how many years ago, he founded Hades Gate in the name of "END", but in fact, he is the real president of Hades Gate.

In front of him, the nine subordinates known as the "Nine Ghost Sect" were kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads to listen to his orders.

"Nine Ghost Gate" refers to the most powerful demon under the president in the "Gate of Hades", which is the high-end combat power of the guild, similar to the "Seven Families of Purgatory" in "Devil's Heart".

They have always been distributed throughout the kingdom, controlling the magical forces in their own territories, and rarely gather together. They will only be summoned back by Hades when they are about to carry out important tasks.

This gathering was originally about the "white heritage", but now things have changed!

"Lord Pluto, what was that just now?"

The one who spoke was Kuanghua, the leader of the Nine Ghost Sect, "Xing Litian".

Kuanghua is a slim female demon wearing armor and a mask. Her voice was cold, but it was full of respect for the person in front of her...or, more fear.

At this time, Maldo, who was sitting on the high seat, suddenly showed unprecedented excitement and madness on his usually calm face: "That is... the call of our Lord, Zeref!!"

Upon hearing the news, all the figures below were shocked and had different expressions. Although they had speculations in their minds, they couldn't believe it because they had never received a summons from Zeref.

But they had never seen Maldo like this before, so they vaguely felt that it should be true.

The nine demons kneeling on the ground were silent for a moment, and finally Kuanghua, the "Nine Ghost Boss", bravely asked: "My Lord appears... What do you mean?"

Pluto was so rested that he squinted his eyes and replied: "Of course I responded to his call and returned to him! Didn't you hear? The master is calling us!!!"

Kuanghua reminded: "But the president hasn't woken up yet..."

"None of that matters anymore!"

Before Kuanghua finished speaking, he was interrupted by Maldo, "Compared to that kind of thing, 'hunting goblins' is our current goal!"

unimportant? The plan that has been adhered to for so long, and even just now, it was said that "Fez" would be activated to eliminate the magic, but now it is said that resurrecting "END" is not important?

Kuanghua was very puzzled, but she did not dare to resist Maldo's decision.

Pluto suddenly spoke up and looked at the nine subordinates on the ground one by one. His eyes were cold and ruthless, and his tone was unquestionable: "Go! Be prepared!"

"Fight Fairy Tail, and then return to Zeref!"
