Chapter 47 - Tower of Heaven (II)

Juliet: Are you sure My Lady that you want to trust him??

Irene: Yes... if he had ulterior motives then he didn't need to lie to me.

Heine: And you are ready to betray your country for this??

Irene: Yes. I know what I am going is selfish but I have to do this. Both of you return to Alvarez so that you can tell them that I quit.

Juliet: NO...!! We won't leave you.

Irene: You don't need to leave your country for me.

Heine: You are wrong... we never cared for that place. We only cared about you, so if you are leaving then we are coming with you.

Axel: I think you should let them come with you... they clearly care about you.

Juliet: I also agree with the perverted fiend.

Axel: You know... I should just bury you two here.

Axel started releasing his magic power which scared the two girls. Irene has told the two girls what happened in the fight and the girls decided to call Axel a pervert which honestly he didn't mind but didn't like it too.

Juliet/Heine: Sorry sir. (Both said at the same time while bowing down)

Irene: Fine... come with me.

Both the girls became happy and hugged Irene. Irene loved them like her own children. Axel made an Ice Chariot and hopped on it along with the girls. The Chariot rose from the ground and blasted towards Akane Resort. He knew that maximum chances were that Erza was in Tower of Heaven but he can't tell Irene that. Axel also decided to dump that emergency mission because he already talked with Irene and they were also on the same mission.

The three of them were in the mountains for two days and they scanned the whole mountain range and found nothing. They gave up and were about to return tomorrow but before that could happen Axel showed up and beat them to the ground. Irene was a dragon so she could easily feel another dragon near her but she never felt that. So Axel was sure that if it was Acnologia he has already left these mountains.

~IN TOWER OF HEAVEN~

Erza and the rest of the group reached a huge hall where they could see five people were standing. Wally and Simon were there along with Trinity Raven. Erza knew the woman in their group. Her name was Ikagura, she was the most strongest in the five of them. The rest of the two members were Fukuro and Vidaldus.

The enemies also heard Erza and before they could even react Erza, Ur, Ultear and Cana attacked their targets in a blink of an eye. Natsu and the group were shocked at how fast they were attacking. The girls moved aside with their targets, only flat face or Wally was left behind to fight Natsu and his group.

~WITH ERZA~

Ikagura: Arent you too arrogant?? No matter what you do Titania... you can never defeat me.

Erza didn't say anything, she just pointed her fingers where others were fighting. Ikagura saw something which she never imagined. The rest of her group was already on the ground defeated.

Erza: Don't worry you were never my match.

Erza moved with her sword and passed Ikagura who just stood there. Ikagura dropped her sword on the ground and blood splattered from her c_h_e_s_t and she also dropped on the ground next to her sword. Erza walked back towards her and saw her breathing with difficulty and blood flowing out of her c_h_e_s_t. Erza used Ice Magic to close her wound and called Cana to heal her.

Cana already trapped the rest of the group in her cards. Cana started healing Ikagura and trapped her in her card too. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and even Juvia were shocked to see how easily Erza and the other girls defeated the enemies. Natsu and Gray were shocked the most to see that Erza was ready to kill anyone but soon sighed in relief when they saw Cana healed the pink-head.

Erza: Let's move forward.

~IN MAGIC COUNCIL~

Seigran: We can't waste any more time... We need to destroy the tower now.

Org: You also know that we cant do that... Fairy Tail members are there. We can't have Axel Summers against us.

Seigran: Is the magic council scared of just one man??

Yajima: Yes... if someone is strong like him then we should avoid him having against us.

Seigran: If if my brother succeeds than he will be able to revive Zeref. We cant let that happen.

Belno: I agree with Seigran... we can't let Zeref to be revived.

Crawford: I agree with Seigran too.

Yajima: You can't be serious right?? We have one of our own there.

Belno: I think she will also agree to sacrifice her life if she is able to stop Zeref from returning.

Yajima: Then lets vote.

Org: Seems it is decided... so let's go and power up the cannon.

After that, all the nine members moved to the Etherion chamber and started to power the cannon. There were other mages too who started to power the Etherion too. They powered the cannon for one hour since they were missing one member it didn't affect them that much. After that, they were completely ready to fire the cannon.

The table below them was showing the Tower of Heaven from the top. Soon three magic circles appeared over the tower and started emitting magic power.

Council Members/Mages: We pray to the sacred light, Release Etherion!!
