Chapter 567 Silver: Your luck isn't particularly good, Lucy Heartfilia
The capital of the Principality of Veronica.
Colorful ribbons fluttered in the bustling streets, vendors selling snacks, local specialties, and various souvenirs called out their wares, and tourists of all ages rode magic carpets through the buildings and alleys, marveling at the unique charm of this small border country.
A lively atmosphere can be seen everywhere.
Quite by chance, today happens to be the anniversary of the founding of the Principality of Veronica. Although it's not a major festival like the 400th anniversary of the theater, nor does it have the crowds of the Fiore Grand Magic Games Festival, it still attracted quite a few tourists who came from afar.
Encountering such a good thing, Natsu and the others, who had traveled all night, were naturally extremely excited and looked around with great curiosity.
"Then, I declare that we shall proceed according to the original plan, first taking precautions throughout the capital to prepare for the upcoming battle."
As the leader of the advance team, Erza waved her hand and commanded, "Squad members, disband!"
"Yay! Let's go shopping, let's go to Happy!"
"Awesome!"
Natsu let out a cheer and followed Happy as they rushed towards the busiest street.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We're not here to play around!"
Lucy rubbed her forehead and tried to warn them, but the two of them vanished into the crowd in a flash.
Although there was absolutely no need to worry about Chesgo being kidnapped, the fact that they were facing the Dark Guild of Tartaros, which had the strongest overall capabilities, and that a full-scale war was about to break out, made this inexplicable sense of relaxation somewhat speechless.
But then again, I wonder how Chesgo is doing now.
It would be best if I could be hung up and whipped a few times by the other party~
The selfish and foolish younger sister thought to herself.
"If the idiot fire dragon is going east, then I'll go west." Gray waved his hand and turned to leave.
Judging from that leisurely and casual back view, he was probably seven parts watching the show.
"Lord Gray, wait for me~" Juvia, a candidate for the strongest squad, floated after him.
The constantly appearing heart-shaped eyes attracted many passersby to watch.
"Charlu, look! There seems to be a very interesting magic show over there!"
In this environment, Wendy, who should have been terrified, relaxed a bit and pointed to the south street to make a suggestion to Charlotte.
"Well, since you want to see it, let's go." Xia Lulu naturally didn't refuse.
"Perverts and nymphomaniacs are one thing, but how come even Wendy and Charlotte are like that—"
Lucy felt a pang of worry. "Have these guys really forgotten all about the mission?"
"Don't worry, they're not the kind of people who would be careless, and besides, I'm watching over them." Erza patted her shoulder confidently.
."
Lucy turned her head to look at her, wanting to complain that before saying such things, she should at least look away from the magic equipment shop not far away.
Also, your boyfriend has been arrested and might be getting a beating!
"A celebration in the human capital, huh? Well, it's worth a visit, I guess."
Bahamut, now back in human form, strode off and headed straight north.
Since joining Fairy Tail, the Dark Dragon, who once regarded humans as ants, has undergone a subtle change in his mentality and has begun to show some interest in this lively scene that he would never have given a second glance before.
Only by fully immersing oneself in the human world can one discover and understand the source of their power!
In the blink of an eye, Lucy was the only one left at the crisscrossing intersection.
"Whatever, I'll just look around first!"
Whether it was an unconscious act or she was genuinely a little uneasy, after standing there pondering for a while, she finally chose the east street that Nazhabi had rushed out onto.
As the advance troops dispersed throughout the capital, dark gold vortex cards were placed in hidden corners.
Each card covers a separate area, overlapping and intertwining with each other, like an invisible giant net enveloping the entire capital of the Duchy of Veronica.
That's right, this was exactly what Chase had given them before the operation began, as an important guarantee to ensure that Fairy Tail's battle against Hades would not affect innocent bystanders.
Once a demon from the Gates of Hell appears, the card effect will be triggered, capturing everyone around it!
Although card magic covering the entire capital city requires a lot of magic, it is not a serious drain on Chase, who has a "heart," and it is necessary to do so.
We can't expect the demons of the underworld to have a change of heart and set up the battlefield on the underworld beasts, can we?
After completing the card deployment, the advance team finally relaxed and began their exciting festival tour.
Foodie Nazhabi stormed into a roadside restaurant and, full of enthusiasm, ordered the waiter to bring out everything on the menu.
Lucy walked by and saw through the glass the two of them in a frenzied, ravenous display, like starving ghosts.
Because the operation was sudden, they didn't bring much money with them. As you can imagine, Natsu and Happy will definitely be dragged out to cook with fire and wash dishes!
Thinking of this, Lucy instinctively clutched her wallet tighter and quickened her pace to leave.
Once she reached a safe distance where Natsu's dragon nose wouldn't detect her, she let out a heavy sigh of relief: "Phew, thank goodness I ran fast. Wadashi is so clever!"
"Really? I don't think you're particularly lucky, Lucy Heartfilia."
A deep voice suddenly came from ahead. Despite the noise and commotion all around, the voice seemed to have a penetrating quality, reaching the ear precisely.
Accompanying the sound was a terrifying, chilling oppression, as if one had fallen into an ice cellar.
The moment Lucy saw the face clearly, she gasped, her pupils contracting sharply: "You are—"
The cloak fluttered gently, and the silver-white armor bearing the word "zero" shimmered. Beneath the neat, short hair was a familiar face, with a hideous scar extending from the forehead to the left eye.
"One of the Nine Gates of the Underworld, Absolute Zero Silver!" Lucy exclaimed, her nerves on edge, as if facing a formidable enemy.
His hand almost reflexively rested on the Celestial Key pouch at his waist, and his magic power surged rapidly within him.
In the previous commission for the demon egg, she had already encountered and witnessed firsthand the terrifying nature of the demon that looked so much like Gray. Even Chesgo, who was like a monster in her eyes at the time, could not gain much advantage in the face of the ice demon-slaying magic that far surpassed Gray's!
"Oh? Compared to how clueless you were when we last met, you seem to have grown a lot."
Silver eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat surprised by Lucy's dramatic transformation.
Swift and concise movements, a focused flow of magical energy, a sharp fighting spirit, and fearless eyes —
Is this still the same girl who only stands on the outer edge of the battlefield and occasionally makes a few sarcastic remarks to liven things up?
"Oh right, I almost forgot."
After his reflection, Gin seemed to suddenly remember something. He scratched his head, smiled gently, and said to Lucy, "Sashibutana, the Fairy Tail's sarcastic commentator."
Lucy: "————"
