Chapter 703 Seiya: Do we have a reason to run away?

“Puff——————!”

Hearing Seiya's rather childish words, Erza was not angry at all. Instead, she burst into laughter through her tears and rushed forward to hug Seiya's head, pressing it against her chest.

"Seiya, thank you..."

Seiya wasn't the only one to receive the same treatment; Natsu had been thanked in the same way before.

However, when faced with Erza, who often wears armor, Natsu's assessment was simply, "So tough!"
However, Erza's multiple sets of armor, which she wore when she fought against the Three Crows and the Ikaruga, were destroyed by the Ikaruga's "Moonless Style".

Erza's current attire consists only of a bandage covering her chest, so Seiya, whose head has been eaten by a face wash, can only describe it as "big, white, and soft."

Jellal, who regained his senses under the purification magic, opened his eyes and saw Erza tightly embracing Seiya.

Having broken free from Urutia's brainwashing, he now understands just how many wrong things he has done over the years, and how many terrible things he has done to his former comrades.

Like Simon, Gerald also harbors feelings of love for Erza.

However, once he regained his senses, he realized that he was no longer qualified to stand before Erza, let alone express his feelings.

Although he was brainwashed and controlled, the things he did to Erza and Simon are undeniable facts.

Not only did I fail to protect her, but I also kept hurting her.

On the other hand, Seiya is the one who has stayed by Erza's side and protected her all these years.

Seiya, whose head was pressed against Erza's chest, looked at the conscious Jellal with an expression that said, "I'm entrusting her to you." He immediately understood that Jellal had definitely misunderstood something.

"Seiya, thank you for waking me up, and Erza, she..."

"Please don't make any weird promises right now. Instead of worrying about anything else, what we should be thinking about right now is how to deal with the things that are about to fall from the sky, right?"

Before Gerald could finish speaking, Seiya interrupted him, and it was Seiya's reminder that made Gerald suddenly remember this crucial matter.

That's the "magical spirit power" launched by the Magic Council, which is about to land on this island.

Gerald's original goal was to use "magical spirit power" to recharge the entire Tower of Paradise, enabling the 27 billion conceptual magic power provided by the R system, which absorbs magical spirit power, to operate.

In other words, the Magic Council's "magical spirit power" falling on this island will not destroy it.

Instead, it will be absorbed by this Tower of Paradise, turning the entire tower into a state of magic crystal.

However, due to the previous battle with Seiya, the entire "Tower of Paradise" has completely collapsed.

Now that the Tower of Paradise, which acts like an absorber, is gone, the powerful magic of the "Magic Spirit Force" will be directly unleashed on this island, affecting and annihilating everyone on it!

"Seiya, you can use spatial magic, right? Hurry up and take Erza and the others away."

While I cannot stop the flow of magical spirit power, I should be able to buy you some time.

Looking up at the magical spirits that had appeared in the sky like comets, Jellal had already made the necessary preparations.

He was the one who started all of this, even if it wasn't intentional, he still bears inescapable responsibility.

Before his death, he was able to obtain the forgiveness of Erza and his former comrades, and he had no regrets.

Her former companions are now free, and Miriam and the others will likely find happiness like Erza. But he, who committed so many wrongdoings, has no right to happiness; he must atone for his past actions.

Gerald's strongest magic is not actually "Starfall", but "Purgatory Shatter", which is composed of the four basic elements that make up the world: fire, earth, water, and wind.

Although this magic is still somewhat insignificant compared to the "magical spirit power" that can destroy a country.

But it should be possible to buy Seiya and the others some time to escape.

"You want to stay and die? Then all my previous efforts were for nothing?"
Furthermore, although I can use spatial magic, the distance of "dimensional teleportation" is limited, making it impossible to escape the range of the magical spirit's power.

Even if there were a way to escape the affected area, carrying so many people on a long-distance spatial journey would be beyond my capabilities, even for me.

"In that case, Seiya, you should find a way to take Natsu and Miriam and leave."

As for me, I will stay and buy you enough time.

Erza, who had once again donned the "Diamond Armor" using the Transformation Magic, showed a resolute expression on her face after hearing Seiya's words.

If Jellal stayed behind to cover the retreat in an attempt to atone for his sins, then Erza was repaying a debt of gratitude.

Over the years, she has received too much care from the members of Fairy Tail. This time, Natsu and the others were dragged into this because of her own actions.

As for Miriam and the others, Erza has always felt that she owes them too much.

Now that the Tower of Paradise has collapsed, Miliana and the others are truly free. They haven't even had a chance to properly see the world yet, how can they die in a place like this?

Compared to Geralt, who was brainwashed and controlled, and Miliana and the others, who were confined to the island, she had been happy enough for the past eight years.

Now it's time for her to repay these debts of gratitude!

"No, you guys keep setting up flags, it's really dangerous. The situation was pretty safe before, but with you guys frantically applying debuffs, we might really be doomed."

To put it bluntly, isn't Magic Spirit Power just an enhanced version of Magic Cluster Cannon?

"We can fight a magic cluster cannon head-on, so why can't we fight a magic spirit? Do we have any reason to run away?"

Hearing Seiya's words, Jellal and Erza were speechless. Jellal even thought that Seiya was unaware of the power of "magical spirit power" and had specially explained it to him.

"The power of magical spirits is enough to destroy a country, and even a real dragon would find it difficult to withstand a divine strike."

But just because an attack that even a dragon can hardly withstand doesn't mean I can't withstand it either.

This farce has dragged on for so long; it's time to put an end to it all.

As Seiya finished speaking, Erza and the others wanted to say something, but soon they felt the ground of the entire island begin to shake violently.

Seiya, who was standing in front of them, suddenly unleashed a powerful and terrifying magical force.

Like a materialized silver-white magic, it transformed into a gigantic pillar that enveloped Seiya's body and shot directly into the sky.

At this moment, the magical power emanating from Seiya not only distorted the surrounding air, but also caused the clouds in the sky to surge and form a huge vortex.
