Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 282 Faust's Impotent Rage (Please Subscribe!)

"It's hard to say. There are some core things that I don't know either. There are definitely still secrets in this palace, or some conspiracy is brewing."

Moen shook his head. He wasn't sure about it. Moen Darkning did know a lot, but he wasn't someone the king truly trusted.

Moen said this because Moen Darkning himself believed it; he felt he hadn't gained genuine trust and thought the King and the Chief of Staff were secretly plotting something, possibly even against him.

The reason was simple: the king had asked him to hand over the "Star Stone" for research more than once, even though he always asked in a consultative tone. This made Moen Darkning very unhappy. This was his treasure, how could he just give it away like that!

After seeing these images, Moen could understand the thoughts and motives of both sides. This "Star Stone" could leverage "Star Magic," and in this world where magic was depleted, it was undoubtedly very precious, and Scorpion Papa had one of its own.

It's perfectly normal for the king to want to study the "Star Stone," or rather, it's impressive that he was able to refrain from taking action. If it were Moen himself, he would probably snatch the "Star Stone" to study it, no matter the cost.

In Moen's view, there were only a few reasons why the king didn't seize it: either his strength didn't allow it, the price to pay for seizing it would be too high, or he had other plans and wasn't in a hurry to take action against the "Star Stone".

Judging from the footage provided by Moen Daknin, the latter is more likely. The king only asked about his "star stone" without taking any action, and he was treated the same as before. He was not angry because of his refusal.

Therefore, the king must have another plan for the problem of "Edras's" magic depletion, but he just didn't tell Moen Darkning.

"What exactly did you go to do?"

Mystergan looked at Moen with a strange expression and couldn't help but ask, finding it hard to imagine what Moen had gone through.

After this trip to the city, it felt like Moen had completely transformed into "Edrastone." In terms of familiarity with "Edras," Moen now seemed more like an "Edrasian" than Moen himself.

"Didn't I say? I killed the magic assassin and got a lot of information from him. Don't worry, it's all absolutely genuine."

Moen bluntly stated the facts, which were indeed correct, only omitting some details. These details could be left to Mistgang to fill in the blanks himself, since he certainly couldn't imagine that "Magic Slayer" had been completely absorbed by Moen, with even his life images preserved as reference material.

"."

Mystogan didn't speak. He had already begun to imagine the "magic assassin" being tortured and having information extracted from him bit by bit by Moen. Moen was able to do such a thing for "Aceland" and for "Fairy Tail".

"Let's play it safe. My father has ruled the Kingdom of Edolas for many years, and things aren't so easy to handle. I just want to stop his plans and don't want to drag the entire Kingdom of Edolas into war. This is my country too."

After struggling for a moment, Mistergang shook his head, took off his mask, and earnestly told Moen his thoughts.

Mystergan knew that entering the palace to assassinate the king was definitely worth a try for Moen and the "Aislandians," but putting aside the issue of "filial piety," it was not a good thing for the entire "Kingdom of Edolas."

The entire world of "Edras" has only recently been unified and is already unstable. The sudden assassination of the king will inevitably plunge the kingdom into turmoil, especially with the lack of an heir. It will inevitably fall into fragmentation and a situation where various warlords vie for power.

"You can step forward directly and inherit the kingdom openly and legitimately."

Moen said something, though he was just joking. Anyone would know that it was impossible for an heir who had disappeared from the public eye for five or six years to suddenly appear after the king's assassination and announce his intention to inherit the throne.

"Unless this prince also has strong military support behind him."

Mystogan spoke seriously; he needed the help of the world of "Aislandon." He would ensure that the "Kingdom of Edolas" would no longer invade the world of "Aislandon," and that everyone could live their own lives peacefully.

"Okay, that's enough for now."

Moen nodded, agreeing with Mistgang's idea. Upon reflection, he realized that what Mistgang had just done was actually quite hellish; he had asked a "son" whether he wanted to kill his "father."
It can only be said that Mystogan is usually too selfless and too "filial to his father". His firm belief sometimes makes Moen forget that the king is actually Mystogan's father.

"Okay, let's get ready and head back."

Mystergan nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Moen, since Moen was essentially accommodating him.

"We can go back immediately."

Moen smiled and replied that he knew what Mistergang was thinking.

But he wasn't accommodating Mistgang. If he were confident, he certainly wouldn't have made too many concessions on this matter. The main reason he chose to go back was because he wasn't sure about the situation.

In this world, he cannot use his own magic and can only rely on the "power of the stars" in the sky. However, the "power of the stars" is already very weak, and when he unlocked the Gemini Gold Cloth, he absorbed a wave of it, and now it is almost depleted.

If the "Star Magic" is drained, then he can only rely on "Qi" and "Ink Robe". However, without magic, the stored "Qi" can only be consumed and cannot be replenished. Once the "Qi" is used up, he can only rely on his fists. Although Moen's fists are quite hard, there is really no need to use his fists to fight against other people's magic.

To play it safe, Moen agreed to go back, but they had already achieved their goal and Moen even received some unexpected surprises.

Not only did they uncover a lot of information, but they also obtained a Gemini Gold Cloth and a brand-new system function. Oh, and there's also the possibility that another world exists, since a "Star Stone" is still missing.

Moen hasn't unlocked the brand-new [Shop Feature] yet. He's waiting to unlock it after returning to "Aislandon" and going back to the guild, to a safe place, before he can study it properly.

"Okay, then we'll head back now."

Mystergan nodded and immediately began setting up the magic circle.

"Boom!!!"

Before long, Mystogan activated the magic circle, and a dazzling light shone, creating a vortex of magic in the sky. Moen and Mystogan were immediately sucked into it.

"Look! What's going on over there?! Who started the anima?!"

The place where Moen and Mistgang chose to leave was not too far from the capital. The commotion there alarmed the capital, and many people vaguely saw the vortex in the sky.

This was naturally not an unfamiliar situation for them. Although the failure rate of "Anima" attacks had been very high in recent years, there were still a few successful ones from time to time.

Otherwise, the magic power of the "Edras" world would have been exhausted long ago, and there would be no magic crystals available for them to use.

"What's going on?" Erza Knightworth asked, her brows furrowed. She had also seen what was happening over there, which made her look at the two men beside her, the other two captains.

One of them was a younger man named Hughes, with purple hair and a tuft of white hair on his forehead; the other was older, with blond hair that was neatly combed, and he was Hugh Boyle.

"It looks like Anima."

Hughes glanced around before replying that he wasn't sure either, mainly because he hadn't received any news about activating "Anima," which was indeed a bit strange. After all, if "Anima" were activated, they should have been assigned to protect it.

Those magic crystals converted from "Anima" certainly can't just be left there; they definitely need to be protected by their magic warfare troops.

“Anima has been acting increasingly strange lately.”

Wearing brownish-pink armor, Hugh Boy looked worried. He remembered what happened last time. The "Anima" was perfectly fine, but it failed to convert the magic power into magic crystals. The terrifying magic power poured down and killed many of them.

And now, what's going on? Could it have started up by itself?! Will this "Anima" even work? If it doesn't work, I'll just stop using it; it hasn't worked that many times anyway!

As a victim, and someone who was almost killed by that magic last time, Hugh Boy was naturally full of resentment.

But Hugh Boy also knew that this was impossible. At least until that grand plan was completed, they had to continue using "Anima," even if the success rate was low. Even a single success could extend their lives and the life of the magical items.

After all, there is a very real issue: using magical items consumes magic power, specifically magic crystals.

If they run out of magic crystals, then their magic warfare unit will really have to drop the word "magic," which is absolutely unacceptable to them.

"One wave subsides only for another to rise."

Erza Knightworth looked serious, but she was actually relieved.

Although it might not be the best way to think about it, if everyone is in trouble, then the problems with "Fairy Tail" become less noticeable.

Moen Darkning, who supposedly wiped out a bunch of mage guilds, ended up falling into the hands of those remnants, which is quite ironic. In contrast, she didn't suffer much loss; she was the one constantly chasing after Fairy Tail.

That guy Bairo kept putting pressure on her, even comparing her to Moen Darken. Now, she doesn't need to compare anymore.

"Finally, the fire is finally out!"

While Erza Knightworth, Hughes, and Hugh Boy, the three squad leaders of the Magic Wars Force, were each lost in their own thoughts, good news finally arrived: the fire at Moen Darkning's house had been extinguished, preventing it from spreading out of control.

"Great!"

Hughes clapped his hands happily; finally, some good news!

"I just don't know if we can find any more useful clues."

Erza Knightworth looked at the still-smoking ruins. Now she was certain that the killer had escaped, setting a fire before leaving to erase all traces.

"Let's find Captain Moen's remains first."

Hugh Boy sighed. After all, they were colleagues. He should help clean up the body first. In fact, they had done the same things as Moen Darkning. Now that Moen Darkning had met with this, Hugh Boy felt a sense of shared sorrow. Who knew if he would be the next one to suffer?

"That might be a bit hard to find."

Hughes, still smiling like a big boy, wasn't as sentimental as Hugh Boy. He disliked Moen Darkning and thought the arrogant guy deserved to die!

In terms of interpersonal relationships, this Moen Darkning is clearly the complete opposite of the real Moen. Not only is his reputation terrible, but his interpersonal relationships are also terrible. None of his colleagues or superiors like him.

Of course, regardless of whether they liked Moen Daknin or not, collecting his body was something they had to do.

Not found

As a result, after a thorough search and after clearing out all the ruins, and after searching for several days, they found no trace of human remains, not even ashes. Logically speaking, even a fire of this magnitude should not have burned a person to ashes.

"Could they have been arrested?"

In the royal palace, Faust, the "King of Edolas," had a gloomy face. His voice was exactly the same as Makarov's in the world of "Aislandon," as if they were cut from the same mold.

"Why was Captain Moen captured? To torture him?"

Bayro frowned as well. He wondered how much these remnants of the mage guild hated Moen Darkning? Killing him wasn't enough; they had to risk bringing him back to torture him.
"Didn't you find even the slightest clue?"

King Faust asked, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Although he didn't care much about Moen Darkning's "Star Stone," after all, the magic of the stars would gradually be depleted, and Moen Darkning's "Star Stone" couldn't actually draw in too much magic at once, and couldn't pull down all the magic of the stars.

However, that thing is still quite powerful. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be a great threat. It's not a big deal that Moen Darkning is dead, but it's a big deal that the "Star Stone" is lost.

"The city has been under lockdown for several days, and we've searched the entire capital but haven't found any news."

Bairo lowered his head. It was indeed a bit embarrassing, making them look somewhat incompetent and completely fooled by the enemy.

"A bunch of trash!"

Sure enough, King Faust cursed angrily.

But all he could do was swear and rage helplessly. We can't blame everyone for this; they really did their best.
