Chapter 694 Former Companions of the Tower of Paradise

While Lucy and Juvia were playing in the water, Seiya was taken by Gray and Natsura to play a magic-powered racing game.

Natsu and Gray felt that the chances of winning against Seiya in a pure contest of strength were too low, so they chose to defeat Seiya through a game.

However, the way they chose to play the game made Seiya quite a handful.

As everyone knows, Natsu gets motion sickness, so as soon as this so-called racing game started, he immediately started vomiting.

Gray complained that while both were Dragon Slayers, Natsu got carsick while Seiya didn't, yet he could only stand behind Seiya and inhale his exhaust fumes.

Then a blond boy with slightly dark skin dressed in a butler's outfit and a slender, cute cat-eared girl appeared before them.

When the cat-eared girl appeared, she used a magic called "Cat Restraint" to tie up Natsu, who was carsick, and Gray, who was still dazed, into a pretzel using magic ropes that resembled a cat's tail.

Only Seiya, having anticipated this, dodged the same restraining ropes that were about to wrap around him.

So in the end, the binding magic only bound the magical racing car he was originally driving. As for Gray, he only discovered after he was bound that the binding magic actually had the effect of sealing magic power.

"As expected of Seiya-nii-san, he's still so full of energy after all these years."

We launched a stealthy, cat-like sneak attack, but they still managed to dodge it.

The cat-eared girl watched as Seiya dodged her binding magic and then fell from the sky, and licked her lips, speaking in a playful tone.

On the other side, Gray, who had been resisting and trying to break free of the ropes, widened his eyes when he heard what the cat-eared girl was saying.

It's quite obvious from what the cat-eared girl just said that Seiya seems to know them, and their relationship is probably quite good.

So here's the question: why did the cat-eared girl call Seiya "brother" while simultaneously attacking them?
However, what Gray didn't know was that when Seiya saw the boy and girl who attacked him, his expression was even more surprised than his.

Although many years have passed and their bodies and appearances have changed a lot, Seiya still recognized the man and woman in front of him through their similar looks and temperament, and called out their names.

"Miliana, Hugh, so you two are still alive!"

That's right, the boy and girl in front of him were indeed Seiya's old acquaintances. In fact, Seiya had known them even before he knew Gray and the others.

But Seiya clearly remembered that Erza had told him before that Miriam and Jellal had all died in the Tower of Paradise.

Previously, as slaves captured and taken to the "Tower of Paradise," they were companions who depended on each other for survival.

Hugh, the youngest of the group, likes to stick close to Erza and calls her "older sister".

As for Miriam, she liked to follow Seiya because Seiya didn't discriminate against her as a cat girl with cat ears and a cat tail like others did. Instead, he told her that it was a cute feature and took good care of her.

When Seiya heard the news of Miriam and the others' deaths from Erza in "Fairy Tail," he comforted her, but he himself was also depressed for a long time.

Seeing that Miriam and Hugh were still alive, Seiya was genuinely happy. However, when he saw their attitude towards him, he felt that something was amiss.

"Brother Seiya probably didn't expect we weren't dead, did he? He's happily living outside with Erza, completely forgetting our promise."

"I trusted Seiya so much, why did you betray us!" Upon hearing Miliana's words, Seiya's face showed an even more bewildered expression.

Betrayal? Where does this come from? For so many years, he even believed that Miliana and the others were dead. Even the events that happened after the Tower of Paradise were told to him by Erza...

No, Miriam and Hugh's hatred for him doesn't seem fake. In other words, they have reasons to hate him. Erza must be hiding something from him!
“Miriana, there’s a misunderstanding…”

"Why waste words with this traitor? Miliana, if you can't do it, then let me do it."

Seiya was interrupted by an angry Hugh before he could finish speaking, and Hugh threw several playing cards at him.

The magic Hugh uses is card magic, which can not only seal people in card spaces, but also use cards to cast explosion magic.

The thrown card emitted a bright light in mid-air and then suddenly exploded.

To protect Natsu and Gray, who were bound by Miriam's magic and unable to use their powers, Seiya did not choose to dodge.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom!"

Amidst the series of explosions, a large amount of debris fell from the sky, and dust filled the surrounding area.

"Hugh, are you crazy! I clearly said before that I was just going to teach them a lesson."

Our goal was to take Seiya and Erza to the Tower of Heaven to see Jellal! How could you be so cruel?!

Seeing the smoke-filled surroundings and the ground cracked from the explosion, Mirana immediately looked at Hugh beside her with displeasure.

"Don't worry, he's a saint. If we don't use some real skills, how can we forcibly take him away?"

"And I already held back. Don't be fooled by the impressive explosion; I knew what I was doing. At most, this level of force would only knock Seiya unconscious..."

Before Xiu could finish speaking confidently, the billowing smoke gradually dissipated, and Seiya, who had just been in the blast, appeared completely unharmed, a look of surprise on his face.

"Judging from what you're saying, it seems that Jellal is not dead, and that it was his order for you to take me and Erza away."
I have a ton of questions to ask, but judging from your current expressions, it seems you're not planning on obediently answering them.

In that case, it seems necessary to teach you a lesson, just like when you were little, before you'll behave.

"Meow~!"

Upon hearing Seiya's words, both Miriam and Hugh shuddered involuntarily, as if recalling the fear of being dominated by Seiya when they were children.

However, just as Seiya was about to subdue Miriam and Hugh first, and then ask them what exactly happened back then, a pitch-black darkness suddenly enveloped the surroundings.

"Dark magic again? Unfortunately, this level is far inferior to Joseph's, and it's impossible for it to have any effect on me."

Sixth-tier Light-attribute Magic: Holy Light Illumination!

A blinding light burst forth from the magic circle in front of Seiya, instantly dispelling the darkness before him.
