Chapter 222 Using a pink sack to kidnap Wendy, Chase vs. Jura!
Because the Nebit tribe had limited rooms and relatively simple facilities, the allied forces were divided into guilds, with larger groups staying in larger rooms and smaller groups staying in smaller rooms.
Fairy Tail naturally got the largest room, but even so, it still felt a bit crowded for the five of them.
Happy: What about me? I don't count!
When Chess returned from Robinru's place, his companions, having finished their baths, had already changed into their distinctive tribal attire.
According to Wendy, the Nebbit clan seems to be very good at making clothes; not only are their fabrics soft and comfortable, but their designs are also very innovative and distinctive.
At least Lucy and Erza, being girls, were quite satisfied and were currently admiring themselves in front of the mirror.
The Dark Magician Girl, who secretly slipped out of the card space, was also among them. The three beautiful girls dressed in exotic costumes gathered together, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.
Unfortunately, the men in the room didn't care at all: Natsu and Gray were arguing about who had defeated the Oración Seis, while Happy sat in the corner drooling and muttering happily about whether Charlene had ever stayed in this room.
Yes, he's definitely a pervert.
Chase picked up the noisy Nazgray with one hand and threw him aside, while also kicking away the perverted cat blocking the way, and slowly walked up to the three beautiful people.
"Chess, you're back! Look, look, isn't he cute?"

Lucy immediately showed off her new clothes, lifting the hem and happily spinning around in place.
"Hmph, while Lucy is indeed very cute, she's still a bit lacking compared to me~"
The Dark Magician Girl raised her scissor-like hand to her right cheek and winked playfully at Chess.
Compared to their friendliness and generosity, Erza, who always maintained a bossy demeanor, seemed somewhat uncomfortable, lowering her head and asking softly, "W-how is it?"
Under the watchful eyes of three expectant gazes, Chase raised his eyes and carefully examined the man. After pondering for two and a half seconds, he slowly spoke.
"This style of clothing isn't good for fighting."
Lucy:
"..."
Dark Magician Girl: "..."
Erza: "....—"
You idiot, so this is what you're thinking about! X3
Chess ignored the disdainful gaze falling on him and said without batting an eye, "By the way, Lucy, I didn't have a chance to talk about it because I had to deal with Nehru's matter first. Someone asked me to bring you a few things."
In this situation where praising one person would offend the other two, the obvious choice is to change the subject and praise them both.
Those who praise others will die even faster!
"Did someone ask you to bring me something, Chess?"
For some reason, a face she couldn't bear to look at suddenly flashed before Lucy's eyes. "It's not some weird perfume, is it? No way, I refuse!"
Erza and Dark Magician Girl both shivered, their brows furrowing slightly, revealing expressions of disgust.
"Truly a night rife with viruses, the shadow it casts is quite deep," Chess thought to himself before straightening his expression. "If that guy dares to harass the girls in our guild like that, he probably won't see the sun tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the three women nodded emphatically in agreement.
Given Chase's personality, he's more likely to throw the perfume bottle in her face all night rather than help her "deliver the gift"!
"Who exactly is that person?" Lucy asked.
"To be more precise, they should be Protoss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chase reached out and grabbed at the void, pulling out three golden keys from the cards that appeared in the magic circle.
"Because Sora was imprisoned for violating the Celestial Spirit Contract, they all want to come to you."
"The Gemini, Aries, and Scorpio keys?!" Lucy immediately recognized the three Celestial Keys that had once driven her to the brink of despair.
"That's strange, is idiot Lucy really that popular?" Natsu leaned closer.
"Ai~ She's completely useless except for her figure~" Happy complained seriously.
"Can I take that as a compliment, please?!"
Lucy blushed instantly, transforming into a devilish figure with serrated teeth.
Whether it was being described as an idiot by a dimwit or being called a dead cat who couldn't resist female cats, she couldn't accept it!
Just as they were about to unleash their power, a golden magic circle suddenly appeared before them, and the dazzling light coalesced into four figures.
"That's how it is, Lucy, we want you to be our new all-rounder, swish swish swish~" Jamie and Minnie, suspended in the air, rhythmically swayed their arms and legs.
"Hey! Let's fight alongside you, boss of Aquaria!" Scopin said coolly.
"I'm sorry, it still doesn't work, huh?" Aries' eyes darted around, her voice incredibly soft and cute.
"I'm fine!"
The unexpected development left Lucy somewhat bewildered. "There are suddenly three more Zodiac Celestial Spirits—"
"Three people?" Aries asked, puzzled.
"The official name is 'The Three-Body Problem,'" Scopin corrected earnestly.
"Well, for example, Loki looks more like a human, and I always feel disgusted by this kind of naming that sounds like it's counting things."
Lucy's words, spoken almost subconsciously, strengthened the resolve of Gemini and the other two to follow her.
"Master, please take care of me from now on!"
"No, I'm the one who needs your help, Gemini, Scopin, and Aries!"
Witnessed by Chase and the others, Lucy signed three Protoss contracts in one go, carefully and joyfully holding the three keys in her palm.
Having gained such a reliable partner before even receiving payment from the council made Natsu and Happy envious, remarking on Lucy's incredible luck—the same thing happened on Karuna Island last time!
Gray even took off his tribal clothes to express his envy and jealousy.
Of course, he would have taken his clothes off even without this incident.
Although their behavior was somewhat insincere and not very elegant, the friends were genuinely happy for Lucy and Aries.
"Hey Chase, judging from your expression, you must have successfully obtained the design blueprints for Nefarian, right?"
Recalling Robin's many unusual behaviors, Erza hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her doubts, "Guild Master Robin..."
It seems that it's not as simple as just being a descendant of the Nebbit.
"Furthermore, the mages in this guild give off a rather strange vibe—"
Influenced by Gerald's amnesia, the original character's thoughts were in a jumbled mess, leaving her with no extra energy to pay attention to so many details.
In this carefree state, the skills of a seasoned S-class mage from Fairy Tail become evident: for example, Natsugray is completely unaware of anything unusual.
"As expected of Erza, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."
Anyway, the truth will be revealed soon, so Chase didn't bother keeping his friends in suspense any longer.
"That's right, Chairman Robin is the one who created Nirvana four hundred years ago. Now he is just a thought entity supported by residual magic power."
"And the Cat-Dwelling Mages who possess independent personalities are also manifestations of him."
Upon hearing this, Erza's pupils widened suddenly.
Lucy and her friends, who were completely unaware of the situation, were stunned by this incredible news of the explosion.
"The whole...the entire Cat Lodge is fake? Chess, you...you're kidding, right?" Lucy felt her breathing become rapid.
Just now, the mages here thoughtfully gave them clothes and reminded them to cover themselves with blankets because it would be cold at night!
All those living, breathing people were just fake entities of thought?!
Naturally timid, she immediately thought of ghosts, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
"To be honest, there are actually living people here, namely Wendy and Charlotte."
"Although the exact reason is unclear, President Robin probably established the Cat Inn specifically because he didn't want Wendy to be too lonely."
Chess's extremely serious tone convinced Lucy that he wasn't simply trying to scare her.
"I see, a guild that exists only for one person—" Erza sighed in a deep voice, revealing a look of understanding.
"But, but!"
Upon realizing what had happened, Lucy's mind immediately conjured up Wendy's innocent and adorable face, and her voice was filled with sorrow, "Isn't this truth too cruel for Wendy and Charlotte?"
"Judging from Chairman Robin's tone, he should confess by tomorrow at the latest."
Chase spread his hands to show his helplessness, "So there's nothing she can do, it's the reality she has to face."
"How could this happen—"
The sadness in Lucy's eyes deepened.
"It's decided, let's tie Wendy back to Fairy Tail!" Natsu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said something surprising.
"Love it! I'm all for it!" Harpy was thrilled at the thought of working in the same guild as his goddess.
"Wait, Natsu, how can you be so unreasonable!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
"Although I'm very annoyed, this time, maybe that stupid fireball method really will work," Gray said seriously.
"Okay, it's decided then!" Erza was even more decisive.
"You made that decision so quickly!"
Chase chuckled and pulled open the pink sack in his hand: "If we're going to kidnap cute Wendy, we'll need this."
"Chesco, are you a devil? And where did you pull that pink sack from?!"
"Who are you calling a fireball idiot? You expressionless ice block, you want to start a fight again, don't you?!"
"Yeah! If Chase hadn't interrupted me, I would have trampled you under my feet already!"
"I was wondering why those two were fighting again!!"
Amid Lucy's sharp and sarcastic remarks, everyone reached a consensus: Wendy should join Fairy Tail!
The night, which wasn't exactly peaceful, passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Chase said, the next morning, Robin Lu led the entire village to meet the Allied forces in the activity square.
After expressing gratitude on behalf of the guild alliance to everyone who defeated Oración Seis, before the few goofballs could even boast about their achievements, Robin, with a serious expression, began to recount the many stories about the Nebbit tribe and Nebbit, revealing the whole truth.
Because Chess had informed them in advance, Fairy Tail remained relatively calm, while members of other guilds stood there stunned with shock.
The sound of her heartbreaking cries tugged at the heartstrings of everyone present. As her familiar companions disappeared one by one, Wendy, with a trembling voice, called out their names again and again, begging them not to leave.
However, no matter how reluctant we are, people and things that never existed in this world will eventually return to nothingness.
"Don't cry, Wendy. Don't you have your true friends by your side? The future has just begun."
"Cheese, and everyone else, thank you so much. Wendy and Charlotte are in your care now—"
As Robin Lu, with a gentle smile on his weathered face, shone brightly, the once bustling square instantly became deserted.
"President!!!"
Wendy screamed and rushed over, but all she touched were the scattered points of light.
The same is true of the cat emblem engraved on his right arm.
Even the usually strong Xia Lulu couldn't hide the tears blurring her vision and silently turned her head away.
"The pain of being separated from someone you deeply love can be filled with companionship."
Erza slowly stepped forward and placed her hand on Wendy's shoulder, who was kneeling on the ground. "Come on, Fairy Tail."
Lucy, Uru, Minerva, and others also stepped forward to comfort Wendy, who was immersed in grief.
Seeing that Wendy's emotions gradually calmed down, Chess finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not being very good at handling such emotional scenes, he approached Jura according to the plan he had made the night before, earnestly asking the Ten Wizard Saints to help dismantle the excess parts of Ne.
Jura's lips twitched; he immediately sensed a conspiracy.
Fairy Tail mages are most famous for causing destruction, and Chess is an expert among them; you need his help to take down Nexus.
This is clearly malicious!
However, Jura, having guessed Chase's true intentions, finally agreed without hesitation.
Having witnessed the opponent's terrifying magical power firsthand, although he knew his chances of winning were slim, the opponent was still one of the Ten Wizard Saints appointed by the Council. Surrendering before even fighting was simply not his style.
Perhaps deep down, Jura also longs to fight monsters like Chase in order to hone herself and become stronger!
Thus, the two, their fighting spirit surging, arrived at the ancient city of Nirvana, which was docked outside the village.
After studying the design drawings, Chess learned that the core of the Nexus was the magic crystals scattered in the six legs. Therefore, the central area, which only served as a place to live, could be completely removed!
"Well then, please take care of me, Mr. Chase."
"Me too, please give it your all, Mr. Jura."
The moment they finished greeting each other, the magic circles for card magic and rock magic lit up almost simultaneously.
Boom boom boom boom!
Two terrifying magical forces collided, and the shockwave swept across the entire city, exploding into bursts of fire above Nirvana!
The violent aura quickly attracted Natsu, Greymane, and Sherry, who stood at a distance to watch this fierce battle between the Ten Wizard Saints and cheer for their respective companions.
Gray and Leon, who were fellow disciples, were arguing fiercely.
In the end, even Wendy, who had regained her composure, joined the crowd of onlookers—despite her seemingly gentle appearance and behavior, she possessed an incredibly strong inner strength.
Boom!!
A massive explosion resounded across the field.
Chase and Jura simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks, unleashing a storm of energy that leveled the ancient city to the ground!
As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, everyone looked up and saw Jura lying flat on his back in the deep pit, his clothes torn and his body spread out in a starfish shape.
His dirty face was filled with admiration, but also a little depressed.
"He's incredibly strong, I've lost—" he sighed deeply.
"You still need to practice more, Mr. Jura," Chase said with a smile, extending his arm towards him.
In a real battle, he never holds back.
Doing so would be disrespectful not only to one's own cheat system, but also to Jura, who gladly accepted the challenge!
It's a bit of a pity that we couldn't get the new card from Jura.
"Of course, next time it'll be my turn to challenge you!"
A smile also appeared on Jura's lips. She raised her hand and grasped Chase's hand, letting him pull her up.
"Hahaha, you're welcome anytime!"
After saying that, Chase took out a stamina booster from the card and handed it over.
Jura didn't mince words and took the stamina booster, drinking it all in one gulp.
Feeling his depleted magic power being rapidly replenished, even he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock: "There are actually cards like this?"
"It seems I've lost even more completely than I expected—..."
