Chapter 54: Ch 54 : Unavoidable Battle
In the passage leading to the top of the tower, Noel was sprinting at high speed.
(The Seventh Throne, Reign, was even more troublesome than I expected. There's not much time left before Etherion falls—I need to hurry.)
"Natsu... and you, your name is Simon, right?" While running, Noel suddenly spotted two figures ahead and came to a stop.
"Noel!" Seeing Noel, Natsu's face lit up with joy. "Noel, you're here!"
"What's the current situation?" Noel asked directly, wasting no time.
Simon, standing to the side, spoke up, "Noel, Gray defeated one of the Trinity Ravens, Owl, but he was severely injured in the process. We just received a transmission from Wally—they found Lucy and Juvia unconscious on the ground, along with one of the Trinity Ravens. Unsure of the situation, they hesitated, but I told them to take the two outside the tower. Then just now, we received another transmission from Sho—I learned that the Trinity Ravens have been completely wiped out. The only enemy left is Jellal. Erza is already heading there. She wants to settle everything on her own. There's an eight-year history between them—perhaps they were destined to have this battle. But Jellal is far too powerful. Please, Noel, go help Erza!"
After listening to Simon, Noel looked up toward the top of the Tower of Paradise. "Leave this to me. I'll make sure Erza doesn't get hurt. You and Natsu, get out of this tower."
"No way!" Natsu immediately objected without hesitation.
"I haven't done anything yet! If I go back like this, Gray will make fun of me for a whole month!"
Bang! Before Natsu could finish speaking, Noel suddenly punched him in the stomach.
A magic circle appeared.
