Chapter 561 The Gates of the Underworld Attack
"Mr. Chase, thank you so much for your guidance. Celestial Robe is a very powerful spell!"
Yukino, dressed in her new clothes, looked grateful and bowed deeply to Chess.
As is well known, the biggest weakness of Celestial Spirit Mages is their over-reliance on Celestial Spirits. They usually do not have much combat power themselves and are easily exploited by enemies.
Now, Star Spirit Robe directly makes up for this shortcoming, allowing her to play a greater role in the team!
If we do commissions together again in the future, I shouldn't hold Minerva and the others back anymore.
Yukino was very pleased with this and admired Chess's attitude even more.
"Wow, Chase, I never expected you to have a talent for teaching magic, besides causing chaos everywhere." Uru chuckled and patted Chase on the shoulder.
"As expected of Chess!" Stinger exclaimed with admiration.
"President, Brother Chess is my idol, so it's not surprising that he could do something like this!" Minerva, the little fangirl, said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Chess coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "It's alright, but it's still a bit behind those professional magic professors."
While Yukino's ability to master the Celestial Spirit Cloth so quickly is entirely due to her unreasonable and abnormal talent, as long as you're shameless enough, you can claim credit for it.
"If you practice a few more times when you have time, there shouldn't be any major problems," he said earnestly to Yukino.
"Yes, senior! I will work hard until I can wear the even stronger Ophiuchus Celestial Cloth!"
Yukino stood ramrod straight and used very formal honorifics.
Seeing this, Erza just smiled and didn't say anything, silently enjoying the Sabertooth strawberry cake that the waiter brought her.
After the initial shock subsided, she naturally realized that the key to the problem lay with Yukino herself.
However, even the cunning Mira wouldn't do something like embarrassing her boyfriend in front of outsiders, let alone her!
"Wait, Yukino, you just mentioned Ophiuchus—" Chase noticed the hidden information in Yukino's words.
"Flo knows this!"
Before Yukino could answer, Frosh, having successfully broken free of Miliana's chokehold, stepped forward, raising his hand enthusiastically, and said, "Mr. Ophiuchus is the thirteenth zodiac spirit, independent of the twelve zodiac signs. His true form is a super cool big black snake, though he has a rather fierce temper!"
"I know Overukus, that's not what I wanted to ask," Chase said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry—"
Frosh's expression changed instantly, his nose tingled, and then he tilted his head back high, trying hard not to let the tears in his eyes fall.
If Harpy made that deadpan expression, Chase would definitely punch him without hesitation and let him know what true masculinity is.
But Frothy—
I have to say, this fragile yet feignedly strong look is kind of cute~
Putting aside his assessment of Frosh, Chess turned to Yukino and asked, "Haven't you obtained the other Golden Keys yet?"
"I'm very sorry, if you are referring to the twelve zodiac signs, then there is indeed no Ophiuchus except for the one outside of the zodiac," Yukino said apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Chess nodded slightly.
Since the Pisces and Libra keys don't belong to Yukino at this point in time, it means that Lucy, the idiot, is very likely to collect all twelve zodiac signs.
Given that Yukino hasn't yet established a bond with any Celestial Spirit, Chase would definitely favor Lucy, with whom he has a closer relationship, making the scene of summoning all twelve Zodiac signs at once absolutely spectacular.
Moreover, being at the center of Fairy Tail's vortex, Lucy is stronger and therefore safer.
After all, the enemies they will face in the future are gods like Ankhseram, who are even more terrifying than the black dragon Acnologia!
However, there is an unspeakable connection between Celestial Spirits and Celestial Spirit Mages. If Yukino is destined to have Pisces and Libra, Chess will naturally not try to stop her.
Whether Lucy can achieve what even Leila couldn't depends on whether she's "lucky" enough.
With the important matters settled, it was time for a relaxed and leisurely reminiscing session.
Minerva happily chatted with Chess about her various experiences over the past two years. Stinger and Rogue also came over to inquire about Natsu and Gajeel, who were also Dragon Slayers, hoping to have the opportunity to fight them in the future.
Kagura earnestly asked Erza for advice on swordsmanship, and Erza gave her equally earnest advice;
However, Uru's casual question, "Is being with Chess sexually fulfilling?" made her blush furiously, turning the situation into a steamy spectacle for everyone.
Time flies.
After a hearty lunch, Uru, arguing that he couldn't eat for free, invited Chess and Erza to give the Sabertooth mages a training battle.
Chase, a battle maniac, readily agreed—he'd just bully some newbies and hit some punching bags, treating it as his after-dinner exercise.
This is a perfect opportunity to summon the Destroyer Dragon and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, giving Stinger, Rogue, and the Sabertooth newbies a taste of the world!
Erza didn't have much of a desire to fight, but following her husband's lead, she joined in with Chase.
Fearing that a fight in town would wipe out Swordbite Tiger's savings of two or three years, Uru wisely chose the outskirts of town as the venue.
The entire coaching match proceeded without major surprises; in fact, the result was quite impressive.
Apart from Uru, all the Saberbite Tiger members were bruised and battered. A mountain in the suburbs that should have been winding and rugged was razed to the ground, and a brand new transportation hub was built out of it!
It wasn't until dusk, when the sun was setting, that Chase and Erza reluctantly bid farewell to the Sabertooth crew.
The journey home was long. After nibbling on the back of the city-guarding pterosaur for more than ten minutes, it was already completely dark when the two returned to Magnolia.
Tonight, the full moon is covered by thick, dark clouds, and its light can hardly reach the ground. Only the scattered magical lamps illuminate the outline of the town under the night sky.
The moment Chase stepped onto the town streets, his brow furrowed slightly.
Although not obvious, unlike the normal urban environment, the surrounding air was mixed with a kind of odor that, while not very concentrated, was quite uncomfortable.
Affected by that aura, the magic power within their bodies became restless and agitated.
"Chess, something seems off." Erza also noticed something was amiss and looked around with a serious expression.
"Looks like a fish is biting the hook I cast earlier."
Judging from the residual magical energy fluctuations transmitted from the direction of the guild, Chess quickly guessed the reason.
With the strong return of Fairy Tail's main members, apart from the prince of Veronica who fantasizes about gaining eternal life through the Phoenix Stone, there shouldn't be any other fools who would dare to cause trouble.
To his surprise, the Ruby Guild, which employed the prince of Veronica, and the mages who were also eyeing the Phoenix Stone, did not seem to possess any large-scale magic capable of affecting the entire town.
No----
Chase used his magic to completely dispel the discomfort.
Rather than magic, this thing that can hinder the normal flow of magic is more like "magic barrier particles"!
Could it be that Eclair's situation has somehow inadvertently become connected to the demon in Zeref's book?
"A hook?" Erza blinked in confusion.
Regarding Operation Phoenix, Chase only told Eclair and Makarov; the rest of the guild, including her, were unaware of it.
"Let's go back to the guild first, I'll tell you on the way," Chase said, pulling himself together and taking her hand.
The same idea remains: with the magical weapon Nirvana that checks good and evil, and with the old man and Bahamut backing them up, even if the prince of Veronica sends someone stronger than in the original story, they won't be able to cause much trouble.
This is true.
—If a truly formidable enemy were to emerge, Magnolia would no longer be such a peaceful and tranquil place!
