While he was having fun team Jellal crashed the party and They manage to even Kidnap Erza
Ryuji just remain silent to all these because this trail is necessary for Erza and her old friend
he pretended to be Normal Human and even was trapped in ard
But after Lucy ran away without helping he forcefully broke out of it; Naturally Card trap couldn't hold the Barrier enlargement and ruptured
After that, he followed after the Natsu team as his Observation Haki could track them
he made a raft with his barrier and followed after Natsu and Juvia
He arrived not much late
he just normally took the stair without caring the guard as those couldn't catch Ryuji because Ryuji made his barrier to hide from any magic
While slowly climbing he heard some Guard running away
this showed the plan of Etherion
So Ryuji just speed a little and caught to Erza who was fighting Ikaruga
Erza was having a hard time fighting as her armor was being destroyed and finally, her strongest black sexy armor was destroyed too
soon later her equipment changed to 2 blades and just a bandage wrapping around
using a sword against a sword she won the duel.
Ikaruga was injured heavily due to this and would be dead if treatment is not done soon
Erza after the fight with Ikaruga went to fight Jellal whereas Ryuji walked toward Ikaruga
Ikaruga who was barely conscious looked at Ryuji who just materialized out of no where "who are you?"
Ryuji "The unchained, if you had heard of me?
Ikaruga"the tyrant, so what do you want from a defeated enemy?"
Ryuji"directly to the main point, haha I am here to give you a choice, seeing you if not treated soon, you will die"
Ikaruga"what choice, ?"
Ryuji"i will treat your injury and I wIll take you to the council for punishment along with 2 other ,after prison time you will be allowed to leave if someone from top guild will take you in,
but you are from Dark guild so the chance is no, that is where we fairy tail comes in "
"we will take you if you leave your current identity , you are an S-class mage so losing life or being hunted by other guilds can be hard , hence choose wisely :be in fairy tail or die "
I don't even have to do a thing for you to die, if i don't treat you, then you are already finished, reply fast not much time"
Ikaruga"why us? we just tried to kill your members"
Ryuji"oh that was your client order so it won't matter to me"
Ikaruga" as if i can believe someone who is not even S-class"
Ryuji "hahaha, a funny thing you say, "then suddenly increased his magical power just allowing Ikaruga to sense it and dropped to none again
as if giving an illusion
Ikaruga had a cold sweat "strong, so you are already, haha the whole magic society was fooled by you"
Ryuji"not me but my guild master, nevermind me answer fast "
Ikaruga" i accept your proposal , hope you will take care of us"
Ryuji"deal" saying this he put a barrier around Ikaruga
this barrier consists of a healing effect which he made with the help of Gramps
after she was healed, Ryuji" take your teammate and leave here, wait at Akane Beach
saying this he went after Erza
he didn't even doubt Ikaruga as he could just end her anytime he wishes
he slowly climbed the castle and arrived the top where he saw Erza protecting Natsu and Simon jumping to protect Erza
Ryuji want to protect Simon as he knew Simon had a good heart and care for little red devil hence he used air barrier around Simon just capable of protecting him
this was not noticed, by anyone, as this little is security to save Simon
after this, he just watched the fight between Natsu in Dragon force vs Jellal
this fight showed the power of Dragon
Jellal was thoroughly beaten and when he was about to use Abyss break
Erza's previous attack came to effect giving Natsu a chance to punch Jellal. this ended the fight
but the magic power of the tower was overflowing hence Erza decided to guide the power using her own body ,Natsu wanted to help Erza
in the original work who know how the blast was directed upward, Erza guess was Jellal whereas Ryuji thought of Simon,
If Simon die this way his effort will be lost and Jellal originally was alive hence
Ryuji came to the decision to direct the power with his barrier
while he was thinking this Natsu dragged Erza back from the enormous Etherion Lacrima
and was about to escape
But Ryuji just put a barrier around them
Natsu was shocked by the barrier but he saw Ryuji and fell unconscious
Ryuki"quite a free-willed "
saying this he used barrier magic to direct the whole overpowered Etherion toward the sky by opening a gap in the barrier at the top
soon after he was almost out of magic power hence he just made Natsu and Erza reach the beach and he went to find Simon
Finding Simon was not hard as he knew the exact location
he arrived at the place and first treated Simon
then brought him back with him to meet Ikaruga team
After meeting the team of trinity raven, all trinity raven were present indicating they accept the condition of Ikaruga
with this done he just kept Simon in a healing hospital private room and brought Trinity raven to the council earning 10 million jewel
after this is going to meet Simon who woke up
then he said what happened at the Tower of Heaven and he had died for Erza that time
Simon"It's good this way ,for the world now.I am a dead man "
Ryuji "what will you do now?"
Simon"don't know "
Ryuji"your friend are planning to see the world themself without being dependent on Erza"
Simon"then I will go my way to see the world alone
Ryuji"good then I will arrange it so that Erza won't know about you "
with this plan he managed to send Simon away
this ended the incident of Tower of heaven
soon the festival of Magnolia was near along with Battle of Fairytail but he didn't want to be in the house battle of Laxus and Makarov hence he had a plan of his own.
