Let Me Come

Jellal, who was crucified on the devil's cross, could not see anything. He only felt that there was a violent and powerful attack in front of him, but he could not do anything.

Just now, he rashly burst out his magic power and gave up his struggle against the cross, which made him unable to turn over.

Defeat had become his only future.

"I have the advantage in terms of magic power and strength... Could it be that eight years is wasted? My dream, the free country I pursue, does it not exist from the beginning? Only I can feel the existence of Zeref..." At the last moment, the pursuit of a lifetime found everything scattered like smoke. The feeling of collapse made Jellal fully realize how stupid he had been all these years.

Rumble!

Terrible power, under the attack of the Dark burning magic, Jellal can't do anything except scream. The devil's cross behind him was destroyed the moment he touched it.

Blinding light shone continuously. No one, including Calvin, could see the miserable state Jellal was in. Even his scream was covered by the sound of magic.

No one saw Jellal secretly shed tears of regret.

"Erza, even if I beg you to forgive me now, it's too late..." This was the last thought that came to Jellal before he fainted. He exhausted his last bit of strength and looked deeply at Erza. Although she was a little embarrassed because of the previous battle, fortunately, she was fine. Jellal closed his eyes in satisfaction.

The attack dispersed. The attack of the Dark Magic Master did not destroy any part of the Tower of Heaven. Only Jellal, who had lost half of his life, quietly lay in it.

"You finally fell, you bastard." Calvin leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. In this battle, he had done everything he could. In the end, there was not even a trace of magic left. Fortunately, he won.

"Sure enough, the guys that Ten Wizard Saints called are all extremely terrifying bastards..." Including Jellal, this was the third time that Calvin had fought with Ten Wizard Saints. This time, he had truly won in a one-on-one battle. Based on this, Calvin could feel that he had become stronger.

At this time, the snake of restraint on Erza finally disappeared because Jellal fainted. She stood up immediately and ran to Calvin to help him up.

"I'm fine. It's just that I've used up too much of my magic power. You should take a look at Natsu. He doesn't look good." Calvin rejected Erza's good intentions. Now, he wanted to sit down and rest first.

Erza looked at Natsu. The latter had already sat up and was chatting with Simon. It should be said that he was worthy of being called Dragon Slayer. With such a serious injury, he seemed to have recovered in a while. He was very energetic.

"It seems that you are in a worse situation." Erza did not force Calvin. She just squatted down and said with a smile.

"Should I make fun of the person who saved you like this? I almost died because of you!" Calvin glared at Erza impatiently. This kind of miserable appearance was seen by Erza, which made Calvin feel a little lost, especially when he was still awake.

Erza showed a cute smile, then gently hugged Calvin. Her expression looked a little dependent, and then she said with a grateful tone, "Thank you, Calvin!"

"Ah~ We are companions..." Being hugged by Erza's soft and familiar body, Calvin couldn't help but feel a little shy. He turned his head unnaturally, and his face carried an imperceptible red tide.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a magic light pillar burst out from the ground without warning. It was as thick as a bowl and startled everyone present.

"What... what's going on" Natsu, who was the closest to the pillar of light, was the most frightened. He hurriedly asked. Erza and Simon also turned their eyes to Calvin at the same time. After all, the latter had said that he had already sealed the Tower of Heaven's magic power.

"Do you think that you can suppress Etherion forever with that kind of temporary seal? Moreover, just now, Jellal's Grand Chariot destroyed more than ten magic nodes. The balance of the entire seal has already been destroyed. The magic power inside has been overflowing towards the gap in the seal from the beginning. I'm afraid that a big explosion will happen soon." Calvin said with a matter-of-fact expression. However, the content of the words made everyone terrified.

"Let me ask, how is the power of the explosion?" Simon was the first to react and asked carefully.

"Well... it will probably destroy several cities nearby. This is a little different from the nature of Etherion. Etherion uses the control of super magic to leave the range of the aim. The power is limited. This explosion was caused by the loss of magic, so the attack power is not enough. However, the range of the explosion is dozens of times larger." Calvin thought about it and answered his analysis.

"Then, can we still escape?" Natsu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also asked, dripping with cold sweat.

"It depends on whether my magic power can be restored to a certain extent before the explosion. As long as Summoning can get out of Koumori Dragon, he should be able to escape." Calvin said.

When Natsu saw Calvin's calm and composed appearance, he also became relieved. In his opinion, since Calvin had not started to be nervous, then there must be a way. Maybe he had already calculated that the speed of his magic recovery was much faster than the explosion in the morning.

"Let's talk about it for now. It will explode in three minutes, and I need ten minutes for Summoning to get out of Koumori Dragon." However, Calvin's next words made Natsu's heart instantly ice-cold to the extreme.

But Erza suddenly stood up, his face changed dramatically, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"Whether we can escape or not, I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of people dying." Simon was right. Just now, Calvin had said that the nearby towns would be destroyed by the explosion.

"Is there no way?" Natsu covered his head in distress. He did not want to die after the battle, nor did he want the innocent people to die. But with his brain, he could not think of anyway.

"Don't worry, we just need to use up all of this magic power. The specific method is, of course, to complete the R-system." Suddenly, Calvin said.

"R-system already has magic power. Right now, it only needs living sacrifices." Calvin trembled as he stood up and walked towards Jellal. "He hasn't died yet, and he was the one who created the sin. He can be considered to have paid off by saving someone with his life. Right, why don't we revive Lisana? I believe you want to meet again, Natsu." Calvin's words undoubtedly made Natsu struggle. His reason told him that this kind of magic could not be used, but the problem was that he had no choice but to complete the R-system to stop the explosion. The main purpose was not to revive. Since he could also revive Lisana, why not?

After Calvin finished speaking, he stared at Erza and Natsu. Both of their faces were ashen, and they were clearly at a loss for what to do.

Calvin came up with a very difficult choice of morality.

"Let me do it." Suddenly, Simon said, and his words attracted the attention of everyone.

"This Tower of Heaven's sins, including me, let me save everyone. Is that okay, Calvin?" Although Simon was talking to Calvin, his eyes were always looking at Erza. He liked Erza very much and understood that Erza liked Jellal. To not let the other party suffer, he decided to sacrifice himself and let Jellal live.

"There are still many things worth doing in life. Isn't it a pity to die at such a young age?" Calvin glanced at Simon and asked.

"However, this is the moment in my life that is the most worth sacrificing. I have no regrets!"
