The life called Etherious, that is, the Etherious demons.
And the most perfect life form among them was Natsu.
Full name: Etherious Natsu Dragneel!
Abbreviated as END.
Unbelievable!
Natsu couldn't believe such nonsense.
He was END? What a joke, END was a demon that even Igneel couldn't destroy ah.
But Zeref also gave an answer.
This was not a physical destruction, but because love was produced, it could not be destroyed.
At that time, Zeref handed Natsu over to his friend, Igneel.
And he would teach Natsu Dragon Slayer magic.
And in the subsequent time together, Igneel developed feelings for Natsu, so he could not destroy him.
And after that, the dragons also drafted a plan.
To cultivate Dragon Slayer mages, and seal their power in their bodies using the Soul Dragon Technique, and then send the Dragon Slayer mages to the future.
In order to hit Acnologia.
As for why they wanted to send them to the future, it was because in order to release the Soul Dragon Technique, extremely vast magic energy was required.
Therefore, they had to go to an era with a rich concentration of magic energy.
And this plan, the five people selected, were Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue.
Except for Natsu, the rest were all orphans.
And as Natsu's family, Zeref agreed to this plan.
Not because of Acnologia, but more because he was looking forward to Natsu becoming stronger in this era with sufficient magic energy.
That way, he might be able to destroy himself.
Thus, the plan began to be implemented.
The Eclipse Gate created by Zeref, plus the help of a celestial spirit mage named Anna, opened the door.
But because it was not clear which future they were going to.
Therefore, the Anna clan passed down ancestral instructions, so that the descendants could open the exit in an era with a high concentration of magic energy.
Finally, Lucy's mother, Layla, who was also a celestial spirit mage, opened the Eclipse Gate on July 7, X777.
The children who traversed time, that is, on that day, left the dragons who had raised them.
......
And they opened their respective paths.
Natsu, who understood everything, still didn't believe it, and he interrupted Zeref.
And he angrily said that he would not believe any of Zeref's nonsense.
But all of this shattered at the moment when Zeref pierced through the Book of END, and Natsu was also hurt.
He really was END, the demon in the Book of Zeref...
Natsu was silent.
"If you kill me, then you, who is a demon in the Book of Zeref, will also die together."
Zeref's words were constantly echoing in Natsu's mind.
Feeling the gradually fading power of the Fire Dragon King, Natsu instantly strengthened his determination.
He wasn't afraid of death!
Compared to his own death, he was even more afraid that his companions would pass away because of his hesitation.
He was standing here in order to hit Zeref.
He moved his steps, and suddenly rushed towards Zeref.
Carrying Igneel's last power, Natsu swung his last strike towards Zeref.
Zeref did not have any signs of resistance, and he just waited quietly for Natsu's last strike to arrive.
Waiting for his contradictory life to usher in its final liberation.
But… Natsu was stopped.
Happy tightly grabbed Natsu's collar, although Natsu's whole body was burning with flames at this moment.
Although unbearable pain came from his hands.
Happy still didn't let go, and even took Natsu and flew away into the distance.
"Natsu is my friend... I will never let you die!"
"Never!"
Happy's tearful words seemed to completely awaken Natsu.
His brain, which had been clouded by anger, became clear at this moment.
His thoughts returned, and after calmly thinking for a long time, Natsu couldn't help but feel lingering fear for his reckless actions just now.
He... almost lost his beloved companions.
"Natsu..." Happy, who was sitting by the stream, slowly stood up.
"We'll always be friends, right..."
Happy's voice trembled a little, seemingly afraid that Natsu would do something again that didn't respect his life.
Natsu was stunned, raised his head, and looked at the blue cat.
Smiling slightly: "Ah... always!"
The blue cat pounced into Natsu's arms.
The tears in the corners of his eyes seemed to soak Natsu's clothes.
Somewhat stunned, Natsu couldn't help but reach out and stroke the blue kitten's head: "Happy..."
"There will definitely be a way, Natsu."
Happy said softly:
"The guild master, and the First Generation, or Finn, in short, there will definitely be a way, I will never let you die... never!"
The stunned expression on Natsu's face gradually raised a smile: "Ah... I won't take life so lightly anymore..."
————————
Inside Fairy Tail.
Because a large number of personnel had already rushed to various battlefields, so the guild inside was inexplicably a bit deserted at this moment.
And in Fairy Tail's exclusive infirmary, Lucy looked at Brandish, who was lying on the hospital bed, and asked: "She should be okay, right?"
"It's just a coma caused by hypoxia, her body functions are still very healthy."
The one who responded to her was Fairy Tail's exclusive pharmacist, Granny Poluchka.
"That's good..." Lucy nodded, and then looked at Brandish silently.
"It's really unexpected that that guy who was shouting about being qualified would actually use cruel hands on her, aren't they on the same side?"
Cana on the side was holding a beer bottle, sitting on the sofa, with one foot still stepping on the edge of the sofa, and her face showed confusion as she opened her mouth.
"I said, this is the infirmary, if you want to drink, go outside." Poluchka frowned, and scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes, I haven't drunk yet..." Cana curled her lips, and put the wine bottle aside.
"But, do you think it might be because of internal strife, so he wanted to kill this woman in order to move up to the twelve Shields ah?"
Speaking of this, Cana seemed very interested.
Lucy on the side also fell into contemplation.
Speaking of which, it was really a bit unexpected.
Originally, Marin, who was following behind Brandish, was defeated by Finn with one blow at that time.
Finn didn't care about this guy anymore, after all, in Finn's view, he was just a small fry.
There were countless people of this level in the battle that night.
Therefore, he only caught Brandish and went back.
But he didn't expect that Marin's life was big, and he picked up a life, and took advantage of the emptiness inside Fairy Tail to sneak in.
But the purpose was not to rescue Brandish.
On the contrary, his purpose was actually to kill Brandish, who was handcuffed with magic-sealing handcuffs.
If Lucy and Cana hadn't happened to come over and met him.
Perhaps a generation of twelve Shields might have really died so aggrievedly.
"Ugh..." Just as Lucy was contemplating.
