Chapter 140 Special Summon: Demon God Halphas!
The raging magic storm lasted for almost a minute before gradually subsiding.
When the sea returned to its former calm, the once towering Tower of Paradise had vanished.
Instead, the entire island was covered with glistening fragments.
Those were magic crystals that Jellal had placed inside the Tower of Paradise, intended to absorb the 27 magic crystals of the Council.
The magical power of the billion-concept magic spirit is used to achieve the ultimate goal of reviving Zeref.
Although the magical clash between Chase and Gerald was far from reaching the level of magical spirit power, the magic crystal still absorbed a considerable amount of energy.
From a distance, the small island looked like it was frozen in ice, shimmering with a dreamy light blue light. On the ground paved with fragments of magic crystal, Chase and Gerald looked at each other across the distance.
Both men were covered in bloodstains, their chests heaving violently, their appearances fierce yet their condition exhausted; clearly, they had reached their physical limits.
Silence reigned all around, broken only by the heavy, rapid breathing.
"You actually managed to fight me to this extent, even the forbidden magic Purgatory Shatter couldn't harm you—"
"
Gazing at the magic crystals scattered everywhere, Gerald's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and his heart was bleeding.
At this point, his amusement park plan, which he had been secretly plotting for eight years, was completely ruined, and there was no way to salvage it!
"Even without magic, I'll kill you, smash your damn head into mincemeat with my fists! Chase!!"
Gerald clenched his blood-stained fist, staring intently at Chase, his eyes filled with an almost manic, intense killing intent.
"From dazzling magic to the most primal and wild brawl? Sounds interesting, but...."
Despite Gerald's relentless pressure, Chase remained unmoved, his smile, tinged with blood, exuding an air of dominance. "Sorry, Gerald, I'm not in the mood for that right now."
He seemed very excited.
During the clash of ultimate moves, two new cards were unexpectedly revealed from Gerald!
"Heh, isn't it too late to feel scared now?"
Seeing this, Gerald's aura surged, and he sneered, "Both of us are out of mana. Whether we fight or not is not up to you!"
"Our magic has run out? Solevadocana." Chess shook his head with a smile.
The moment he finished speaking, a faint light flickered beneath his feet, and the outline of a covered card gradually became clear—it was a card that could instantly replenish mana.
Trap Card - Stamina Booster - Super Z!
hum! !
As the eerie liquid inside the demon bottle emptied, a strong wind surged, and Chase's listless aura suddenly expanded and rose steadily!
Although the Stamina Enhancer Super Z only replenishes magic power and cannot heal physical injuries or mental fatigue,
It's impossible to get Chase back to his peak form.
But the mere restoration of magic power was enough to plunge Jellal into an endless abyss of despair!
"What, are you kidding me! How could there possibly be such a card?!"
Gerald was completely dumbfounded, his features contorted in disbelief, and he let out a horrified scream.
If he had another chance, he probably would never fight Chase again—who would dare to play with such a terrible magical ability?!
"Don't underestimate the synergy between the card mage and the deck."
Chase took a deep breath, stretched his limbs, and waved to Gerald, smiling lightly, "Weren't you going to smash my head with your fists? You can come over now."
Gerald: "..—"
Stunned for several seconds, seeing no hope, he completely collapsed. At the cost of burning his life energy, he forcefully unleashed a torrent of magical power.
The golden light, which should have dissipated, once again enveloped the battlefield.
Chase crossed his arms and watched Gerald struggle silently.
When the golden light reached its limit, he slowly reached out and assumed a card-drawing posture: "My turn, draw a card."
call out!
A dark purple light flashed, and a "Monster" card that had never been used before appeared at his fingertips.
"Come forth! The king who comes from the depths of hell, the symbol of ultimate destruction, the legendary demon god who stands at the pinnacle of the demon realm—..."
"Halphas!"
A deep and intricate dark magic circle lit up, and from the wildly swirling vortex of magic, a terrifying figure slowly stepped out.
Beneath the icy blue magic horns, long, snow-white hair fluttered in the wind.
The equally icy blue wings and tail swayed slightly, adding endless room for imagination to their impeccably sexy figures.
"That's right! I am the legendary Demon God Halphas Mirajane form!"
The "missing" demon Mirajane raised a finger, tilted her head, and gave a faint smile.
Under the influence of the terrifying magic emanating from her, her otherwise sweet smile sent chills down one's spine.
If it were Lucy, she would definitely turn around at this point and fiercely criticize Chase's melodramatic summoning phrase.
But Mira won't.
She would unconditionally cooperate with Chase and genuinely find it a very interesting thing to do, enjoying it immensely!
"Go, Demon God! Launch a direct attack on the opponent!" Chase waved his hand, pointing at Gerald.
With the new card in hand and the Tower of Paradise destroyed, let's give Mira, who's been waiting for so long, the chance to bring this battle to a perfect close!
Seeing this, Gerald gritted his teeth in anger, veins bulging on his forehead.
He was already furious, and the couple's outrageous antics only made him explode on the spot.
"Die! Meteor!!"
A fierce wind howled, and a golden stream of light, carrying endless killing intent and rage, rushed in.
However, how could he, already at the end of his rope, possibly be a match for Mira in her prime?
Moreover, speed is the Demon God Halphas's greatest strength!
Boom!
In a single exchange, Gerald was blasted away by the magical beam of the demon goddess Mira.
As he crashed heavily onto the magic crystal ground, a shadow fell, and the demon goddess Mira stepped on his chest.
He bent down and extended a demonic finger, hovering it over the area between his eyebrows.
"Eyes." The demon Mira said seriously, pushing her finger forward a little.
Gerald's pupils widened, his neck tilted to the side, and he fainted on the spot, a ghostly little man emerging from his mouth.
According to Elfman's description in the original work, Mira, who accepted the demon god Halphas, destroyed most of the city simply because she wanted to do such a frightening thing.
Makarov lost a significant portion of his pension as a result, which is why he strictly forbade the use of this magic.
Of course, Gerald wasn't "scared unconscious" here; the main reason was that his body and will had already reached their limits!
"Not enough!"
The demon Mira pouted, turned to look at Chess, her brutal gaze filled with a hint of longing and anticipation.
"Spare me, I'm seriously injured right now." Chase instinctively took a half step back.
"Alright then, considering—"
The demon goddess Mira emerged from a cloud of icy blue smoke, reverting to her usual gentle older sister persona. Glancing warily at Chase's back out of the corner of her eye, she chuckled, "You let me have my way with how handsome I am this time, okay?"
At this moment, the wind and waves were calm, and the sunlight shone through the clouds just right, shining on the girl's sweet and charming smiling face, announcing the end of the battle of the Tower of Paradise.
Chase noticed something else: his mana bar was way too short to be completely depleted in one hit!
How can we get new cards from Mira in this way?
No! We need to give her more practice whenever we have the chance!
"Chess!"
The sudden shout interrupted Chase's thoughts.
Looking back, they saw that Nazuna Lucy and the others had already landed on the island covered with magic crystals.
The one who shouted was Erza, who was walking at the very front.
After learning the whole story from Simon, Erza's face tightened, and her expression looked very serious, a stark contrast to the seriousness she displayed when reprimanding Natsume.
"Hey, Erza, what brings you here?"
Chase greeted him, scratched his head apologetically, and chuckled, "Sorry, I couldn't keep my promise from back in prison and ruined the place that holds your childhood memories."
Erza lowered her head and didn't reply, but her pace quickened, her steel boots making the magic crystals crackle under her feet.
"Chase, you bastard, you bastard!" Erza trembled slightly as she approached, clenching her fists at her sides, and shouted, "Why did you do something so dangerous?!"
When she heard that Chase and Mira had actually come to the Tower of Paradise, she was completely stunned and had been on tenterhooks the whole way there.
No one knew better than her how dangerous the Tower of Paradise was and how crazy Gerald was.
Whether it's Chase or Mira, if we let our personal matters put them in danger or even lead to something untoward—
As Erza herself said, she was far too cowardly.
I was so cowardly that I didn't even dare to imagine such a scene; I could only keep praying in my heart that nothing bad would happen.
For Natsu, who was completely unaware of the dangers, the journey was nothing more than a seasick and nauseous experience.
But she was constantly tormented by the pain of life and death, self-blame and regret!
"The reason is simple: because we're partners."
Chase looked directly into Erza's misty eyes, his playful smile vanished, and said seriously, "Didn't the guild master say that our pain is everyone's pain, and our sadness is everyone's sadness?"
"Since this dilapidated tower and this wretched man are causing you so much suffering, Erza, then let's destroy them all!"
Hearing him speak of such danger so casually, Erza retorted angrily, "That's a completely different concept!"
"The result wasn't perfect," Chase said casually, waving his hand dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Erza's pent-up emotions finally exploded: "You bastard, do you even value your own life?!"
Amidst a raging storm of magic, the fairy queen, her long crimson hair flowing wildly, raised her fist high in fury.
"Wait, Erza—"
Lucy had never seen anything like this before and turned pale with fright.
Having been in Erza's party for so long, she had never seen the other party so angry.
Even though Chesgo has already defeated his opponent and resolved the crisis at the Tower of Paradise, "It's alright, Lucy, don't worry."
Mira, who had come closer, smiled and pulled Lucy back from trying to persuade her. She glanced at Chess and Erza, where Natsu, Gray, and Happy stood watching with smiles on their faces, looking quite at ease.
"It doesn't matter how trivial things are."
"Since she's the Fairy Queen, she should just maintain the cool and strong image that Natsugrain has in his mind."
Standing in the magical storm, Chase not only made no attempt to defend himself, but also slowly turned around, completely exposing his back to Erza's fist.
"I don't want to see the tears I shed in the cell that night, Erza, out of fear and helplessness."
He sighed resignedly, "This is your only chance to beat me. Go ahead and hit me if you want."
The fist, though thrown with great force, ultimately landed with an incredibly gentle touch.
Immediately following was a warm and moist touch. Erza buried her face in that wounded back, leaning against it helplessly, her body no longer trembling and dripping.
Tears slid down her handsome, flawless face, dripping onto the magic crystal at her feet, splashing out sparkling water droplets.
Compared to her last time in the Council Prison, this time, both of her eyes, including her transplanted prosthetic eye, were filled with tears.
"Very good!"
Seeing that Erza's emotions had stabilized, Lucy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on her face disappeared.
"That's so unfair, Chess! He never includes me in his fights!" Natsu started complaining indignantly.
"Idiot, are you stronger than Mira? She's one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like Joseph and the Guild Master."
"I brought you along to drag us down." Gray instantly mocked.
According to Makarov's analysis after returning from the council, Gerald and the suddenly disappeared Zikrein are very likely the same person.
The Ten Holy Grails badge that fell to the side completely confirmed this speculation.
"Oh really? Even so, I'm still better than a naked pervert like you!"
"What did you say, you idiot who lights candles on a birthday cake?!"
"You brought that up again! Oh well, in my eyes, Gray will always be a little kid who never grows up~"
Natsu suddenly recalled what Ul had said to Gray at the banquet on Karuna Island.
Then Gray got angry, and unsurprisingly, the two brothers' foreheads met, initiating their daily bromance-filled brawl.
"Love~ Before that happens, can someone please save us!"
Harpy, who was being held tightly in Miriam's arms, tremblingly raised his hand toward Mira.
Mira ignored Happy's cries for help.
She had just told Lucy not to worry, but now she was puffing out her cheeks and looking at Chase and Erza with resentment in her eyes.
unhappy!
I'm so unhappy!
"By the way, what should we do with that person?"
Lucy spoke weakly, pointing to Gerald lying not far away with his eyes rolled back.
The magical clash that had blasted the entire tower apart was still vivid in her mind. Even now, in her unconscious state, she was still somewhat afraid of Gerald, this dangerous madman.
"Leave it to me."
A heavy, somewhat sorrowful voice came from behind.
Lucy turned around at the sound of the voice, and the moment she recognized the person, a look of surprise appeared deep in her beautiful eyes.
"Urutia?!"
