"Aaaaaah! Chase and Mistgang died together?!"
"Oh no, oh no! I shouldn't have gone in with the intention of just watching the show. How am I going to explain this to the student council president?!"
Two loud shouts rang out, from Natsu and Gildarts, who were clutching their foreheads and looking panicked.
"To die together? No matter how you look at it, those two wouldn't go that far, would they?" Gray said seriously.
Although he didn't know the specific reason why Chess and Mistgang's magic suddenly disappeared, none of them, the onlookers, had been harmed. The castle and the entire capital hadn't been demolished, so how could those two possibly be in trouble!
"I guess Chase got some strange cards again?" Erza rested her delicate chin on her hand, appearing deep in thought and very calm.
"Natsu is one thing, but why is Uncle Gildarts so easily startled?" Lucy whispered in Happy's ear.
Even she could see that the so-called mutual destruction was simply impossible. Did Gildarts not even have that much judgment?
"Kildarts's nerves have always been this thick-skinned," Happy said, unsurprised.
"I feel like they're more like father and son," Lucy thought, glancing at the two idiots with identical expressions, and silently tagging Gildarts with Natsu's image.
The image of Fairy Tail's strongest mage, once again, has been shattered in the hearts of 55% of newbies.
Well, it seems that from the time we first met, it was already a ruin.
"So where did Chase and the prince go?" Edlucy couldn't help but ask.
The faces of Ed and Fairy Tail behind him were more or less filled with worry.
Although Lucy Gray, as a partner, assured everyone that nothing would happen and knew that Eschess was highly skilled in magic, it was still hard not to be concerned when the two of them simply vanished into thin air right before their eyes.
"As for the answer to this question—"
The Dark Magician Girl winked playfully, successfully drawing everyone's attention, before continuing, "That idiot master pulled Mystogan into the card space!"
"Cards—Space?" Edlucy and the others looked on with disbelief.
In contrast, Erza and the others immediately understood and nodded slightly, showing expressions of relief.
Clearly, they knew that Chase's card monsters possessed independent spaces, roughly similar to the Protoss Realm where the Protoss lived—although they hadn't yet visited the Protoss Realm.
"Haha, I knew it! That magic circle Chess just posted looked so familiar!" Lucy said confidently, her head held high.
She's been to the card space several times already!
"You looked so confused just now, Lucy. This is definitely hindsight."
The master of sabotage, Happy, immediately jumped out, covered his forehead, and sighed softly, "What a show-off little girl, she doesn't have the composure and reliability of Charlotte at all."
While belittling Lucy, they didn't forget to patronize Xia Lulu.
Hakimi, you bastard.
"Shut up, you dead cat! I... I was just unsure!" Lucy immediately snapped.
"Don't mention me at a time like this, you idiot!" Charlene, leaning against Wendy's tablet, turned her head arrogantly. If it were when she first joined the guild, she would definitely have given Happy a good scolding. However, now that she has come to Edolas, her mentality has changed subtly without her realizing it.
-
In order to fully understand her origins and mission, before the entire group attacked the capital, she and Harpy went to the abode of the gods, which was the territory of the transcendents, Extania.
The thought of the tomcat standing firmly in front of her made Xia Lulu's face flush.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Happy was indeed quite handsome back then. "You guys chat first, I'm going to join in the fun!"
After leaving behind these words, the Dark Magician Girl vanished into specks of light, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other.
Meanwhile, in the Card Space, within a lush primeval jungle.
"Where is this place? Does Chess's card collection also contain illusion magic similar to the skyscraper?"
Mistgang frowned, cautiously and carefully examining the unfamiliar surroundings, and said in a deep voice, "No, is this incredibly realistic feeling spatial magic?"
He was away from home most of the year and rarely appeared in the guild to chat and brag with his friends, so he was unaware of the space that came with Cheska's Magic: Duelist's Soul.
Boom boom boom.
As he pondered, a violent tremor suddenly erupted beneath his feet. Immediately afterward, sand and stones flew up in front of Mist Ridge, and the hard ground crumbled inch by inch, tearing out a deep and huge ravine.
Deep within the ravine, a pair of sharp eyes slowly opened, and a massive body made of rock stood like a small mountain, casting a very oppressive dark shadow.
On its rocky shoulder, two iconic greatswords come into view.
"Are you the Rock Giant?" Mystogan recognized the other party's identity.
Strange, there's no magic circle for card spells, and I haven't even seen a trace of Chase. How did his card monsters appear out of thin air here?
Before Mistgang could figure out the reason, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded from the sky above.
Two bolts of lightning, one gold and one red, descended from the sky, creating billowing smoke and dust behind them.
White bone armor and scarlet stomach armor emerged from the depths of constantly leaping electric arcs—a summons from a demon and the demon Kilfar!
Immediately afterwards, a fierce wind howled in front of him, forcing Mistgang to pull up his cloak to block the sandstorm coming down in his face.
He squinted and looked up at the sky. The moment he saw the culprit behind the raging storm, his pupils contracted sharply: "The Cursed Dragon and the City Guardian Wyvern? And—"
"A dark red dragon? That's also one of Chase's card monsters?!"
Compared to the Cursed Dragon and the City Guardian Wyvern, which resemble "winged dragons," the massive, sky-covering figure of the Destroyer Dragon Gandora is clearly more awe-inspiring.
That is almost identical to Igneel, the legendary dragon that Natsu has been searching for!
"Hehe! Job's here! Nice to meet you, hello, my master's guild partner."
A rough laugh rang out, and the dragon-slaying swordsman standing on Gandora's back leaped down, landing heavily in front of Mystogan like a cannonball.
At almost the same time, strange phenomena began to occur around Mystgang.
A pillar of chaotic light struck down, and a Chaos Warrior wielding a sword and shield strode forward:
Dark clouds rolled in, and a cold-faced Dark Magician of Chaos descended from the sky.
A magical array of light swirled, and the fully armed King's Three Swordsmen and the Elf Swordsman appeared one after another. Even Kuriboh came to join the fun, floating in the air and waving friendly at Mystogan. Compared to the other "fierce and menacing" creatures, the cute Kuriboh was simply a breath of fresh air.
The powerful magic kept intertwining, as if it was about to burst this jungle apart!
"Sashiberdana, Mystergan." A dark mage in a purple robe stepped out from the crowd.
He is one of the few card monsters here who has had a face-to-face interaction with Mystogan.
The Silent Magician stood silently to the side, her cold, beautiful eyes curiously watching Mystogan, thinking to herself: So this is my master's partner? He's quite handsome. The Dark Magician Girl, who had rushed over, followed behind the two.
"Sashibuli, Mr. Dark Magician."
While responding politely, Mistgang carefully examined the card monsters surrounding him, some of which he recognized, and others were completely unfamiliar faces.
A look of shock appeared on his face: he hadn't expected that so many powerful people had gathered around Chase without him even realizing it.
"Where's Chess? He's not planning to hide and never come out, is he?"
Based on the current situation, Mystergan quickly guessed that he might have been pulled to a place similar to the Protoss Realm by Chess.
The dark mage didn't speak, but silently raised his staff and pointed it to the sky.
hum! !
The moment Mistgang looked up, a terrifying aura of holiness and vastness exploded forth, sweeping across the entire space!
"That, that is?!" Mistgang's pupils widened, and he stood frozen in place, his body stiff, showing a rare look of panic and shock for the first time.
If an existence like Gandora was barely acceptable, then the crimson dragon coiled in the sky completely overturned all his understanding.
That overwhelming pressure, that aura that sent shivers down your spine, those pupils that seemed to pierce through your very soul...
For some reason, the moment Mystogan saw the Sky Dragon, the legend he had accidentally learned in Asland popped into his mind: Gods!
Mystergang, welcome to—my world!
Chase stood proudly on the back of the Sky Dragon, his deep blue cloak fluttering wildly in the high-altitude winds, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.
Although it might seem a bit pretentious, the main reason he did this was to dispel Mystogan's concerns about Fairy Tail's safety, which also served as a response to his earlier opening line, "You don't know how strong I am."
Pulling Mystergan, who has no magic of his own, into the card space couldn't be easier.
"Chess! What's going on? That monster... it exists... is it also one of your card partners?!"
Mystogan shouted loudly, not even having the intention to continue activating the Reversal Anima—compared to the monster before him, such a thing seemed insignificant!
That's right, he actually wanted to describe the Sky Dragon as a "monster".
"Like I said, if you want to know, then come and defeat me~" Chase laughed in a way that was sure to drive you crazy.
Without giving Mistgang a chance to continue questioning, the Sky Dragon twisted its massive body, slowly opening its blood-red maw to aim at the sac below. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and space trembled. Extremely violent energy rapidly condensed and compressed, transforming into an incomparably dazzling holy radiance!
That's Sky Dragon's signature move—Superconducting Wave!
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the entire card space, and the Dark Mage and others, who had already experienced the terror of this attack, quickly retreated.
This time, Kuriboh was smarter; instead of snuggling into the Dark Magician's arms, it clung tightly to the Dark Magician's leg.
The deafening noise quickly subsided, the thick smoke dissipated, and the once lush forest was razed to the ground, leaving only a huge crater with residual electric sparks.
Mistgang was not seen.
"For someone without magic to achieve this level, kid, your guildmates are indeed excellent."

"But this is a one-time thing. If you want me to show my face again, you'd better think twice."
After leaving behind these two sentences, the Sky Dragon, who had witnessed the entire process, leaped away and disappeared into its own domain.
Chase was flung away by a tail and hovered in mid-air with the help of flight magic, a faint smile on his lips.
"Looks like it's been recognized. Not bad, Mystogan. He didn't let our Fairy Tail S-class mage down!"
The Anima control room in the ruins of the Edolas royal castle.
The purple magic circle suddenly lit up, and the figure of Mystergang rolled out from it.
Ignoring the dust covering his face, Mistgang collapsed to the ground, one hand covering his forehead, his heart pounding, still reeling from what he had just witnessed: "How is this possible? Summoning a god—"
On the ground nearby, the broken magic wand that Lucy and the others had noticed earlier flashed a faint light before going completely dark.
The instant he was enveloped by Chase's dark gold teleportation array, Mystergan, relying on his rich experience in magical combat and strong intuition, prepared this backup plan in advance.
That's why he was able to use the magic of his staff to narrowly avoid the Sky Dragon's superconducting waves and successfully escape the card space!
Similarly, it was precisely because Chess realized this that he felt comfortable letting the Sky Dragon launch an attack.
The large hand that appeared out of nowhere interrupted Mistgang's extremely chaotic thoughts.
"Don't forget, our duel isn't over yet!"
Chase, who followed, grabbed Mistgang's handsome face, lifted him up, and threw him violently at another king statue in the control room.
The violent force instantly crushed the stone statue, and the shattered fragments flew precisely toward Lucy, who was watching, as if equipped with GPS navigation.
Lucy was so startled that she did a rather unseemly doggy-style hop, dodging flying rocks while loudly complaining, "How did I appear out of nowhere? How did I get dragged into this battlefield out of nowhere!"
"What a strange constitution, wow!" Edlucy, who was unharmed beside her, exclaimed in amazement.
"Making fun of yourself while looking at your own face—that's even weirder!"
On the field.
Mystogan slowly rose from the ruins, sighed deeply, and then took off his tattered cloak. His eyes were no longer lost.
"I understand, Chase. In that case, let's have a good fight, as you wish!"
Without uttering further words, the intensely hot attack had instilled Chase's entire will into him.
"Hehe, it's finally been delivered!"
Chase grinned and removed his cumbersome cloak and coat as well.
Regardless of Edolas or the Reversal of Anima, what follows is the purest battle between men!
