Chapter 198 New Card: Kilpha Demon!
"Are you alright, Chess?"
Urudia held a crystal ball in her right hand, her white robes fluttering gently.
"fine."
Chess sighed and shook his head slightly, somewhat surprised that Ultear, who had received the Demon King's message, would arrive so quickly.
Sensing that the rapidly increasing magic power around the opponent's Silver was gradually calming down, he also canceled the incantation of the trap card.
"The Magic Council? Now is not the time to start a war with you."
Silver glanced at the Council's restraint force on the airship, then at Ultear standing on the Rose Ice, before finally fixing his gaze on Chess.
"Young man, you can keep the Demon King's egg and those demons for now. We'll have a proper fight next time we meet!"
After leaving those words, frost began to form on his body, then shattered with a crack and disappeared from the spot.
Chase's fingers, hanging by his side, twitched twice. After thinking for a moment, he finally gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit.
Leaving aside the council's grunts, although with Ultear's assistance, the probability of obtaining Silver here would be greatly increased, there would be no benefit in doing so, and it might even attract the attention of Tartaros ahead of time.
At this stage, everyone in the guild is in a cautious development phase. Directly confronting the strongest dark guild on the continent would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
The Fairy Tail crest on his right arm determined his identity. Small-scale escapades were no big deal and could even boost his reputation, but when it came to matters of life and death concerning the guild and his companions, he had to be cautious!
Moreover, as Gray's "enhancing patch," Silver has no reason to be captured, and there's even a chance to win him over.
Become a powerful force in the guild!
It's just unknown whether he, who has been dead for many years but whose body and consciousness have been completely preserved, can be resurrected using the method of resurrection.
Recalling his battle with Silver, Chase couldn't help but have this question in mind.
However, this idea needs to be put into practice only after Fairy Tail has the power to fight against Tartaros; it's not the right time yet.
As for the gains from this unexpected encounter, they were naturally the new card that floated deep within my consciousness!
Golden light outlines its image on the card, revealing a six-star demon monster with dark red wings, sharp barbs, and a ferocious face.
Its name is Dark Demon Kilfar!
Although it is not as powerful as the Dragon Slayer, nor as high-level as the Chaos Swordsman or the Chaos Black Magician, it is still a pretty strong card in the current deck.
More importantly, the addition of new cards has further amplified Chase's magic!
Deep in the forest, Silver, who had safely evacuated, stood on a tree trunk, watching in the direction where Chess and the others were.
"That ice-shape magic from earlier, and that appearance that's exactly like Uru's, Uru's Tears?"
"That fool of a son has quite a few reliable companions around him."
The brief interlude in the Demon Village inevitably made Yin miss her son, whom she hadn't seen for many years, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Soon, that smile was replaced by a cold and cruel expression, swallowed up by the darkness of the deep forest.
To exact revenge on the demon in Jelf's book, he is destined to walk in darkness and be unable to reunite with his son!
On the other side, Ultear's tense nerves only relaxed after that terrifying magic had completely disappeared.
"Who exactly is that guy who exuded a dangerous aura just now?" She glanced at Chess.
"He claimed to be a member of the Dark Guild, the Nine Demon Gates of the Underworld," Chess stated truthfully.
"The Gates of the Underworld?"
Ultear frowned slightly. "Why would this dark guild, which even the Council knows so little about, be here?"
Although the Gates of the Underworld and the Heart of the Demon are two of the three giants of the Balam Alliance, a dark guild, their relationship is more like "non-aggression" than an alliance. The guilds rarely interact and do not know much about each other's core members.
After all, the dark guilds are full of profit-driven fanatics, and no one can be sure that today's ally will betray them tomorrow.
Therefore, even if Ultear's true identity is the head of the Seven Kin of the Devil's Heart, she has never actually seen a person named Silver.
After speaking, Ultear's eyes dimmed as she recalled the order from Guild Master Hades a few days ago that she return to the Devil's Heart.
Based on the information gathered by the council, she roughly guessed that it might be related to the Oración Seisu, who had been making moves recently!
"I'm not sure, they said they were going to destroy the demon eggs and the demon villagers," Chess said, looking in the direction Silver had left.
This statement served as a reminder to Urutia, who was lost in thought.
Looking up at the chaotic scene, she covered her forehead, her face full of helplessness: "So you still did it—."
"This is utterly reckless! I clearly told you not to act rashly for the time being and to let the council handle it!"
Despite her complaints, Ultear was not surprised that Chess was able to subdue the legendary Demon King.
No matter what, the man in front of her possesses the powerful ability to break the absolute freeze and defeat Jellal, a power that even she admires!
"If you interfere, we won't get our commission." Chase smiled and pulled out a card containing a large number of villagers.
Meanwhile, Lucy, who had been hiding far away, finally returned and greeted Ultear.
The magic circle flashed, and Eclair, Mengmeng, and the villagers were immediately "freezed" and returned to reality.
The old village chief and the others stood on the ruins, looking bewildered and lost at the chaotic and broken ground around them, not knowing where they were.
The situation was too urgent at the time, and Chase didn't have time to explain the reason to these people.
After some explanation, upon learning that the ruins beneath their feet were the village they once knew so well, the villagers' mouths twitched. They wanted to criticize but felt too embarrassed to do so.
"Then, Village Chief, now that the Demon Egg has returned to normal, this task is considered complete."
Continuing from the unsuccessful process in Chapter 111, Chess took out the Demon King's Egg from another card and handed it to the village chief, asking, "Are you going to keep this thing?"
"Oh? Okay, thank you very much."
The old village chief was clearly still grieving the destruction of his village, and habitually reached out to catch the demon egg.
Then, he discovered that the magic egg seemed to be stuck to Chase's palm, and he couldn't get it over no matter how many times he tried.
"Mr. Chase, you—"
"Are you going to keep this thing?" Chase repeated with a friendly smile.
"Let's stay here and see how things go."
The old village chief thought this was part of the commission, and after thinking about it, he gave his answer.
Even so, the magic egg remained completely still in Chase's hands!
Finally, the old village chief realized his mistake and waved his hand generously: "No, no, relying on something with such huge hidden dangers is ultimately not the right way to survive."
"As a bonus with the commission, the magic egg will be given to Mr. Chess. Please take care of it."
"Oh, I guess I'll go all the way and do you a favor!" Chase quickly retrieved the magic egg and put it into the card.
His movements were so swift that Lucy, who was standing next to him, was stunned.
No way, you can insist on it like that?!
Chess, you're really not even going to act anymore!
As Lucy was internally complaining, she suddenly noticed that demonic spots were beginning to appear on the old village chief's wrinkled face, and sharp demonic horns were growing from his forehead.
"Wait! Old village chief, what's wrong with your face? No! Why is everyone in the village—"
Lucy looked up in horror and discovered that not only the old village chief, but also the guard Berest and the other villagers had developed demonic features and transformed into "monsters" in the blink of an eye!
Hearing the girl's terrified screams, the villagers, who were still a little dazed after coming out of the card space, finally came to their senses and saw their demonized relatives and friends around them.
To Lucy's surprise, aside from the initial instinctive fear of demons, the villagers did not show excessive panic. Instead, they remained calm and readily accepted the fact.
"Lady Lucy, there's no need to look so worried."
The old village chief looked up into the distance, a resolute glint in his cloudy eyes. "Since those family members who have been demonized can never be brought back to normal, then we might as well all become monsters."
In fact, as early as when he learned the origin of the demon egg, he and everyone in the village had already prepared themselves to become demons.
Or to be more precise, this was exactly the outcome they wanted to see; otherwise, they wouldn't have risked following Chase and Lucy to the underground altar deep in the black mist to settle scores with the Demon King!
"But no matter how you look at it, isn't this just too strange?"
Recalling those familiar faces, Lucy said with a pained expression, "You, everyone in the village, are all human!"
"This village was originally formed by a group of homeless people who banded together for warmth. Human appearance and physical form are not particularly important to us, as long as everyone is here."
The old village chief let out a hearty laugh. "So, it doesn't matter how you handle such a small matter~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers behind him began to discuss the matter with great interest.
"Hahaha! So what if I become a demon? I've been abandoned by my country for a long time, and I don't want to be human anymore!"
"Zane's right, I actually think those demon wings on my back are way cooler than humans!"
"Look closely, you bastard! I'm Brick!"
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I didn't recognize you at first glance."
"Hey you guys, want to take a look at my devilish arm? It's dark purple, you know!"
Looking at the "demons" with their beaming smiles, teasing and showing off to each other, Lucy was taken aback at first, then smiled back.
Despite being a terrifying-looking monster, upon closer inspection, it didn't seem to have changed much. This scene involuntarily reminded her of the Fairy Tail series where everyone turned into demons.
Demon Natsu is obsessed with becoming the strongest demon; Demon Gray throws off his clothes, revealing a shockingly beautiful body; Demon Erza dons the Demon King's Armor and beats up Natsu and Gray; Demon Happy turns into a mosquito; Demon Chess and Demon Mira go on a date in the Demon Cave.
And she gave birth to an adorable devil child. For some reason, as she was thinking about it, the image in the mind of the innocent girl Lucy suddenly went astray, and hot breath kept escaping from her blushing face.
