Intricate Relationships

"Calvin Is it that S-Class Sorcerer who is on par with Master? He is too powerful. He managed to restrain Juvia and Gray-sama who are in a state of alert in an instant." Although Juvia knew that the other party was Gray's companion, it did not mean that he had already acknowledged her. After all, he was once an enemy.

"You guys are still too inexperienced. If I were the enemy, you would be dead now." Calvin untied Gray's body and said to him in a superior tone, which made Gray very unhappy.

"Do you think everyone is as good as you? You bastard!" Although he didn't answer Calvin, after all, the other party did control him in an instant, but deep in Gray's heart, he didn't take it seriously. Not everyone has Calvin's monster-like strength he is quite confident in his strength, and he is outstanding among his peers.

"Calvin, why are you here? And what kind of appearance is that? Do you want to scare people to death!" Lucy finally reacted to the panic at the beginning. She was originally the weakest one in the field. From the time when Juvia sensed that an enemy was approaching and Calvin appeared, the situation was too unexpected. Only now did she react.

"I was riding a pet just now. Oh right, I remember that the young lady was one of Phantom Lord's Elements 4. How could she be with you?" Calvin replied to Lucy in a relaxed tone, then his expression turned cold. He stared at Juvia, who was still unable to move. Feeling Calvin's gaze, Juvia only felt a chill in his bones.

"Let her go first. Juvia is not an enemy. I will tell you what happened just now." Gray immediately reacted and pulled Calvin's shoulder. Calvin glanced at Gray and then removed the magic array.

"Ah~ great! Gray-sama defended Juvia. Juvia died in peace just like that." The moment the magic array was released, Juvia only felt that he was surrounded by happiness. His body uncontrollably fell to Gray. The corner of Calvin's eyes twitched. It seemed that he understood why Gray said that she was not an enemy.

"No way, you were defeated in a short time, and Erza was taken away?" After listening to Gray's description, Calvin finally understood the current situation.

During the time that Calvin left, first, Lucy helped Loke to return to her original identity. To express her gratitude, Loke gave her a few reception scrolls, so Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Happy went to play.

In the gambling house of the hotel, the few people who were playing suddenly received an attack. Although they were all fine, Erza showed a flaw in her shock and was knocked out by the other party with an anesthetic bullet. The reason why Erza was shocked was that the person who kidnapped her was her former companion.

As for Juvia, as expected, she followed because she admired Gray, and she also had the intention to join Fairy Tail.

"Erza's former companion, Tower of Heaven, Jellal, and R-system, oh... I have almost figured out the matter." Calvin rubbed his brows and thought quietly. Through intel from both sides, he could roughly guess the cause and effect of the matter.

"Calvin, do you know something?" Lucy couldn't help but ask when he saw Calvin's confused look.

"I'll tell you the information I gathered first. I'm afraid I can't deal with the enemy this time alone." Calvin nodded and said seriously.

First of all, I appeared here because I received a commission from Council to investigate a building called the Tower of Heaven. As far as I know, the Tower of Heaven is R-system.

"Tower of Heaven? I heard those people say this word. Where did Erza go?" Hearing Tower of Heaven, Lucy immediately shouted excitedly, while Calvin waved his hand to signal her to finish listening first.

"I also found Erza just now."

But I thought she was on a mission to sneak in because I didn't expect that she would be caught.

"And the reason why they captured Erza was definitely to activate the Tower of Heaven. I will tell you the truth. They must be planning to let Erza be the Tower of Heaven's sacrifice."

"R-system, that is, Tower of Heaven is a product left behind by Dark Magician Zeref. It is a forbidden magic that can resurrect the dead. But if it is just to resurrect someone, there is no need to specially capture Erza. And the reason for this is probably a group of Zeref admirers. If I am not wrong, the person they intend to resurrect should be Zeref!" Calvin's words made everyone present except Natsu gasp. Just the name of the Dark Magician Zeref was enough to make people fear.

"Our enemy is a mysterious man named Jellal. I have no information about him. The only thing I know is that the man has a relationship with Siegrain. His strength is not inferior to him."

"Siegrain, are you referring to the young Ten Wizard Saints of Council?" The name Siegrain was very famous. Lucy asked in surprise.

"Yes. I also know 'Jellal', but that guy would never do such a thing, so I suspect that Jellal of Tower of Heaven. To be honest, I even have a skeptical attitude towards that Siegrain."

Calvin did know 'Jellal', but the Jellal he spoke of was not from this world but from another world. The one that Calvin knew was the S-Class Sorcerer who had transformed into Mystogan.

According to the information he got from Mystogan, there should also be another Jellal in this world. The two of them were the same person, so their appearances must be the same. Before today, Calvin had always thought that the Jellal of this world was the brilliant genius of Council, but now it seemed that the one who was Tower of Heaven was the real master.

However, Siegrain who had the same appearance was also the object of Calvin's suspicion. Although there was something called twins in this world, according to Mystogan, he was the only child.

The relationship between Siegrain and Tower of Heaven's Jellal would be the key to the whole thing.

While Calvin was talking, the small boat unknowingly arrived near the Tower of Heaven. The group found a secret place to hide and Juvia dived into the bottom of the sea to investigate the terrain.

"There are many people standing guard. It seems that it is impossible to sneak in." Gray looked at the many guards and said with a bad expression.

"Don't worry about it. Let's break through directly!" After landing on solid ground, Natsu, who was dizzy, finally recovered and wanted to rush up.

"No! Erza and Happy are still in the hands of the other party. We can't act rashly!" Lucy pulled Natsu with difficulty and said discontentedly.

At this time, Juvia, who went to investigate, jumped out of the sea and said, "Juvia found the passage to enter the tower from the water."

"Alright, Juvia, take Gray and the others and dive from the bottom. I will break through from the front and draw their attention! Everything will be according to plan." Calvin stood up and ordered solemnly, then immediately rushed forward. Summoned Beast was instantly stepped out by Summoning.

"The intruder has arrived. It is Fairy Tail's Calvin Makarov." On the top floor of the Tower of Heaven, a man with a hooked nose and long hair said to the person on the throne.

"What an unexpectedly big fish. Withdraw the guards. Let me deal with that guy!" The person on the throne was wearing a cloak and his face could not be seen clearly, but it was clear that he knew Calvin very well and knew his strength very well.

Moreover, he did not think that the powerful Calvin would be his opponent.
