Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

"How can it be?!"

Erza's eyes widened, clearly not expecting that Moen had actually found him.

That place is quite far from the Kingdom of Fiore. On the vast ocean, how could Moen possibly find his target so quickly?

"It is indeed quite difficult to find in the waters near the country of Ka-Aimru. However, as long as it is not completely independent, it will definitely leave a trace. If we search diligently, it is only a matter of time before we find it."

With a smile on his face, Moen revealed the location. He had indeed pinpointed the exact location of the "Tower of Paradise," and he was certain that the enemy had not discovered him.

While searching that place, Moen controlled the crows, not letting the large crows approach the island rashly, but instead using a few small crows to pretend to approach unintentionally.

After getting close, Moen sent the crows back, because the island was shrouded in an extremely dark aura, making it impossible for ordinary animals to approach.

Even so, Moen had obtained a lot of information. The magical aura on the island and the towering, strange spires had told Moen that he had not come to the wrong place.

The Kingdom of Ka-Emru is a kingdom located south of the Kingdom of Fiore, and can be considered a neighboring country, though they are separated by the sea.

The Kingdom of Ka-Emru can actually be considered an island nation, but it is very close to the mainland of the "Ishgar Continent," separated only by a small strait. It is a bit farther from the Kingdom of Fiore, with a considerable area of ​​sea in between.

The "Tower of Paradise" is located in this sea area, near the coast of the Kingdom of Ka-Emru. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for Moen to find his target in such a short time.

"."

Erza fell silent, because Moen was right. The location of the "Tower of Paradise" was indeed in the waters near the Kingdom of Ka-Emru. She couldn't quite remember the exact location, but she was certain that the island was in the waters near the Kingdom of Ka-Emru!

"Erza, don't think too much. What we need to do now is to completely wipe out this Tower of Paradise and nip this threat in the bud!"

Seeing Erza remain silent, Moen approached her, reached out and firmly grasped the girl's shoulders, and spoke encouragingly.

"Don't run away, the more you run away, the tighter it will grip you! Only by facing it and overcoming it can you truly be free!"

Moen's voice was firm and resolute, penetrating Erza's heart and causing her to tremble uncontrollably. But Jellal's words still haunted her like a nightmare, making her unwilling to face it all.

"Of course, even if you don't want to come along, I'm definitely going. However, I won't hold back then."

Seeing that Erza was still hesitant, Moen changed his strategy. He released Erza's shoulder, took a step back, and his expression became serious.

"You know me, Erza. We must eradicate evil completely. By then, it's uncertain whether there will be any survivors on that island."

Moen's words turned cold and ruthless, which startled Erza awake. She abruptly looked up at Moen.

Erza's eyes held hesitation, fear, and shock. Her gaze towards Moen was a mixture of emotions, but it was clear that she did have someone she cared about in the Tower of Paradise, someone she didn't want to die there.

"I'm going to tell Grandpa about this now. You still have time to think about it, Erza. Do you think those people you care about will survive if we just ignore it? Think about it carefully."

As he spoke, Moen turned and left without paying any more attention to Erza. Seeing Erza looking so pitiful, hesitant, and fearful made him feel very uncomfortable and heartbroken. But he knew that this problem had to be solved, for Erza's sake and for "Aislandon's sake".

"."

Watching Moen's departing figure, tears welled up in Erza's intact eye. But she did begin to wonder if simply listening to Jellal's threats and ignoring them would really allow her beloved companions to survive.
On the other side, Moen found Grandpa Makarov in the guild hall. The old man was sitting at the bar, "drinking alone," his face flushed, not at all like a guild leader.

"Little Moen? Hiccup~ Is something the matter?"

After taking a sip of his drink, Makarov looked at Moen standing in front of him. Even sitting at the bar, he couldn't look Moen in the eye; the boy had always been very tall since he was little.

"Grandpa, do you know about the Tower of Paradise?"

Seeing that Grandpa Makarov seemed to be drunk, Moen didn't care and continued to talk about business seriously.

"Tower of Paradise? R System? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Upon hearing Moen's words, Makarov paused for a moment, then asked curiously, clearly having some knowledge of the matter.

"I found a place where the Tower of Paradise is being built, and it looks like it's almost finished, or at least in the final stages."

Moen shared his assessment, explaining that he had done extensive research, rummaging through the library, and finally understood what this "Tower of Paradise" was all about.

"Tower of Paradise" is the original name of "R System," short for "Revive System." This is a forbidden magic that can use living people as sacrifices to resurrect the dead, and it is classified as a "resurrection spell."

The Tower of Paradise was banned from construction by the Magic Council because it violated humanitarian principles. In comparison, the Absolute Freeze, which sacrifices one's own life and is also a forbidden magic, seems too trivial. The price that the Tower of Paradise would have to pay was too high.

"There's even an R system under construction?!"

Upon hearing the information provided by Moen, Makarov immediately sobered up. His expression was one of utter shock, clearly as he had not expected Moen to bring such intelligence.

"besides?"

Moen was taken aback; he was also somewhat surprised. It seemed there was more to this story. Grandpa Makarov had been involved with the "Tower of Paradise" before, and it appeared to be more than once.

"Shouldn't this have been cleaned up ten years ago? How come there's still construction going on? What are the Magic Council members doing? How come there were still some survivors left from that operation!"

Makarov spoke, his expression showing some dissatisfaction.

Ten years ago, the Magic Council had already discovered an evil cult that was secretly building the Tower of Paradise. They immediately launched a powerful attack, destroying seven Towers of Paradise and severely damaging the evil cult.

So many years have passed, and there has been no news of the "Tower of Paradise" since. They all thought that the evil cult had been completely wiped out.

But it turned out that they just used this opportunity to hide, and continued to build the Tower of Paradise from where the Magic Council couldn't see them.

"What do you think?" After venting his anger and making a few complaints about the "Magic Council," Makarov looked at his grandson, Moen, who had brought the news.

"Is that even a question? Of course, we should just take them down! Besides, these people have connections with Erza. Erza escaped from there, and Rob, who had been missing for many years, also died there. Erza came to our guild because of him."

This time, Moen didn't continue being a "riddler." Instead, he told Grandpa Makarov the truth directly. After all, now that they had found their target, it was time to go all out.

Moreover, Moen has realized that expecting Erza to figure things out on her own seems unlikely at the moment; she needs to give her a shock and make her face everything.

"Avenge Grandpa Rob"—that's the fuse that can ignite Fairy Tail and Grandpa Makarov. Moen doesn't believe that Erza would dare not go under these circumstances. In the end, all she would get is an island destroyed by the enraged Grandpa Makarov.

"What?!!!"

Sure enough, when Moen lit the "Rob" "powder keg," Grandpa Makarov was furious. The old man's eyes widened, and his magic began to fluctuate violently.

"Buzz!"

The entire guild was affected, and they all looked over with curiosity. When they saw the furious guild leader Makarov, their expressions turned to surprise, especially since the angry guild leader was staring at Moen, which shocked them even more.

"What did Moen do to make the president so angry?"

"Could she be having a child outside of marriage?"

"Huh? That's just too outrageous!"

The guild members whispered amongst themselves, and no one dared to approach; Guild Master Makarov's angry appearance was truly terrifying.

The main reason was that Moen looked calm and collected, not like there was anything wrong, so everyone decided to wait and see.

"President, calm down~"

Mirajane, who had been listening to Moen and Makarov's conversation at the bar, immediately came over to persuade Chairman Makarov to calm down. She didn't know Rob, but she was very interested in Erza's past and had been listening very attentively.

Makarov took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, but he still looked furious with a sullen expression.

"Mount, continue. What exactly happened?"

After calming down a bit, Makarov urged Moen to continue explaining the situation, as he wanted to know how Rob had died.

"it is good."

Moen nodded and briefly recounted the information Erza had previously shared. In truth, Erza hadn't revealed much useful information, but the details she disclosed were enough to stir up Fairy Tail and unite everyone in their hatred of the enemy.

Erza didn't know how Rob was captured; Rob was already there when she was taken there.

Rob's care for her and the children allowed them to persevere in that hellish place. Everyone liked Rob very much, and Rob ultimately died to save her. This made Erza feel very grateful to Rob, otherwise she would not have traveled all the way to Fairy Tail.

"Good, good, good! The Evil Order! Gerald! The Tower of Paradise!"

After hearing Moen recount Erza's childhood experiences and her connection to Rob, Makarov clenched his fists.

They must destroy this "Tower of Paradise," not only to avenge their old friend Rob, but also to avenge little Erza!

Rob didn't disgrace them; he died protecting the children, which is a very honorable way to die!

Of course, this is a last resort, a way of finding joy in hardship. If Rob were still alive, that would be a truly good thing.

Makarov sighed inwardly. In fact, after so many years of no news from Rob, they, his old buddies, had long been prepared for bad news. They just hadn't expected that Rob would send Erza, that old woman, before he died.
"Now that we've found the location, let's leave without further ado! This is a matter for Fairy Tail; we don't need outsiders interfering. We'll handle it ourselves."

Makarov, with a sullen face, began to express his thoughts. Clearly, although the old man was very annoyed and angry, he was still rational. He knew that this "Tower of Paradise" carried Erza's past, so he did not mention reporting the matter to the "Magic Council," which was obviously not what Erza wanted.

"That's what I think too. We, the members of Fairy Tail, should handle our own affairs without bothering the Magic Council."

Moen nodded, agreeing with Grandpa Makarov's statement.

Should we gather everyone now?

Mira, who had been listening the whole time, understood what was going on. She immediately chimed in, saying that she was going to gather the mages of Fairy Tail. Whether others went or not was another matter, but she was going anyway; she couldn't shirk her responsibility for such an important matter.

"There's no need to gather them all. Just notify a few members. Those who aren't strong enough won't be of much use. Besides, we want to catch them off guard, so it's not good to call too many people together."

Moen shook his head. He didn't intend to make a big fuss. Instead, he planned to take the elite route. The other side wouldn't know that they had already started their operation. This would be a perfect opportunity to call on the guild's elite members for a surprise attack and catch them off guard.

"Who should we invite along?"

Mira nodded, agreeing with Moen's idea. The old man thought so too. Although Fairy Tail had a lot of people, they didn't rely on numbers to win. They also had quite a few elite mages, enough to form a raiding squad.

"It should at least be at an A-level standard."

Moen drew a line, indicating that this matter was still quite dangerous, and mages with strength below A-rank should not get involved.

"There are quite a few people there."

Makarov nodded. There were quite a few "A-rank mages" in the guild. This was mainly because the assessment for "S-rank mages" was quite strict. The "A-rank mages" in their guild were very strong, and some of them might even be stronger than the "S-rank" mages in other guilds.
