Chapter 48: Ch 48 : Because of you
Noel walked into the Tower of Heaven at an unhurried pace.
It wasn't that no one tried to stop him—rather, every single person who attempted to block his path was effortlessly struck down.
With Noel's strength, these guards, who weren't even on par with ordinary mages, posed no obstacle to him.
They couldn't even manage to delay him for a moment.
"As expected... this aura feels familiar." Noel furrowed his brows as he looked up toward the top floor of the Tower of Heaven.
The powerful and eerie dark energy emanating from there gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall where. "Where exactly have I felt this before?"
Though his mind was preoccupied with these thoughts, his steps did not falter.
Soon, he entered the interior of the Tower of Heaven.
However, the first sight to greet him was not enemies, but a table full of food—and Natsu and his group devouring it enthusiastically.
"You guys... how did you get in here?" Noel asked curiously as he looked at them.
