Chapter 246 Edolas's side is full of idiots
The night wind blew, stirring up clouds of yellow sand, bringing an atmosphere of utter desolation to this scarred sky island.
Edchas and the others fell silent. Compared to the chill that ran down their spines when they first arrived, surrounded by bones, they were now filled with awe and reverence.
Those skeletons are proof of the brave Edras people's resistance against foreign enemies!
"Suddenly, so many familiar names came to mind," Chess sighed softly.
Igunir goes without saying, but the contrast between Precito and Maldo, who died in battle on Edolas' side, is quite stark.
You should know that these two are notorious guild leaders in Asland, villains who stand at the top of the Balam Alliance!
"You know them?" Acnologia asked with a strange look.
Igunir and the others sacrificed themselves more than a hundred years ago, and the man in front of them looks to be only in his early twenties. How could they possibly know each other?
"You've probably already guessed it, I'm not from Edolas, but from a world called Esland."
Since it was all in the open, Chase didn't hide anything.
After a brief explanation, Acnologia Adam understood the general situation: "Unexpectedly, in a kingdom on the other side of the continent, someone has actually developed a magical device capable of plundering the magic power of other worlds."
"What an utter idiot, a complete moron!"
He clenched his fist in anger and slammed it down, making the ground vibrate.
No one understood the extent of the danger of doing so better than he, who had single-handedly protected the world for hundreds of years.
These people, who can only survive by relying on magical items, dare to invade a world where everyone is a mage.
Humanity's desire for resources is insatiable. If the other side realizes this and uses the "Anima" passage to reach Edolas in the opposite direction, it will undoubtedly be another catastrophe!
This can be seen from the strength shown by Chess, an Eslander—Edras is currently completely powerless to resist!
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely not interested in that kind of thing."
Catching Acnologia's suddenly sharp gaze, Chase smiled and spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.
The purpose of coming to Edolas has already been made quite clearly in the explanation just now.
Upon hearing this, Acnologia's wariness lessened, and he apologized, "Sorry, I got a little emotional—"
As the saying goes, fists don't lie, and that applies to both Chase and him.
Although it wasn't the same person, Chase still felt very uncomfortable seeing Acnologia's fierce face speaking such polite words.
"It's alright, I understand. Compared to this trivial matter, do you know someone named Brian?"
Both guild leaders of the three major guilds in the Balam Alliance have positive public images, and he is inexplicably curious about Brian.
"Brian?!"
Upon hearing the name, Acnologia was first stunned, then gritted his teeth in uncontrollable rage, "That damned bastard betrayed Edolas, willingly serving the apostle of God; I've already ground him to dust!"
"Ah, I see—" Chase chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head.
As expected of the instigator of most of Fairy Tail's tragedies, even in Edolas, Brian is still extremely wicked.
Well, this result was completely unsurprising.
"Chase, is this guy named Brian over there a good person?" Ed Abba Green asked.
While drinking and chatting with the Dark Magician Girl last night, she learned that there was a certain degree of inversion between the two worlds' counterparts.
"No, it was a good death!" Chase replied definitively.
Seemingly reminded of some unpleasant memories by the name Brian, Acnologia waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to continue the topic.
"Now that you know how dangerous this place is, let's hurry back. Don't try anything with Fez, and don't stay here to die in vain."
The calm, deep voice turned into a sigh, "You are too weak. You have no way of keeping up with me."
These words sounded incredibly irritating, but Edchez and the others, who knew the whole story, weren't angry about them.
On the contrary, a subtle, almost imperceptible tenderness and care could be sensed from Acunorokia's cold words.
He suffered too much and was too fragile, so fragile that he could no longer bear to see his comrades die before his eyes, turning into a pile of cold white bones that even the heads of the families could not piece together!
And this was precisely the reason he turned his back—he didn't have the courage to look directly into the unwavering determination in Edchas and the others' eyes. "Wait, Chas, didn't you say that, theoretically, the Anima created by the kingdom could send away the continent's magic?"
Edabagrim suddenly remembered the massive spatial magic Anima that she had discussed with Edchas long ago.
He tentatively suggested, "If we drain Edolas's magic, and there's no profit to be made, will those divine apostles stop coming?"
This possibility is not nonexistent; in fact, Mystogan, who inherited the kingdom in the original work, did just that—although his original intention was to stop the conflict and tell the kingdom's inhabitants that they could survive without magic.
Even without coming to the Northern Continent and knowing about the existence of Fies and Acnologia, Chess didn't quite agree with this approach.
Even without magic, there are still things like power, money, property, and resources that can make people lose themselves and become obsessed.
This approach cannot solve the problem at its root!
There might not be much unrest in the short term, but if it goes on for too long, there will definitely be big problems!
Moreover, Edolas now faces the covetous "external threat" of the divine mages!
"Placing hope in the enemy's mercy is a bit too idealistic. Although it's possible, wouldn't that only make things worse?" Edches, who was originally from the realm of gods, frowned.
"Chase is right, no one knows if those apostles of the gods will give up because of this." Edgildas exhaled a heavy breath.
Unable to fight back or escape, and with no other option but to selfishly place all the burdens on Acnologia's shoulders, Eddildar clenched his fists tightly.
The reason they left their homes and risked their lives to come to the Northern Continent was because of the pain of being unable to protect their companions due to their own weakness.
Now that the source of immense magical power has been found, the pain has become even heavier.
"Alright, with me here, those damn bastards won't be able to get in. You can all go back now."
After saying that, Acnologia said no more, silently picked up the tattered cloak from the ground, put it on, and strode into the dark distance.
"Hey, I said, we've been talking for so long, haven't you sensed the will of these idiots yet?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Chase slowly spoke up, "You too, you clearly yearn from the bottom of your heart for a partner to fight alongside you..."
But he still had to act cool over there.
"Edras is full of idiots!"
Edchez Squad: These idiots?
Acnologia halted in his tracks, turned back with a grim face, and forcefully grabbed Chess's collar, which he had just put back on: "What do you mean?"
He just didn't want to see anyone else sacrifice in vain. His indescribable grief was seen as him showing off by the other party.
He's not standing here for something so utterly pointless!
Metaphor!
A powerful fighting spirit surged forth, transforming into a strong wind that made the hems of their clothes flutter loudly—it must be said that Acnologia, with his back to Fez, has truly astonishing recovery ability!
The sudden turn of events immediately made the situation tense.
Chess let Acnologia pull him along, raised his gaze to meet her bloodshot eyes, and calmly uttered the soul-searching question: "How long can Fez's magic last?"
"One hundred years? Two hundred years? Or four hundred years?"
