Chapter 264: Ch 264 : Hidden Crisis
"This time, I won’t let you escape."
Following the shadow, Jellal stepped out of Arena and gazed at the distant figure with a solemn expression, murmuring to himself in a low voice, "Possessing such evil dark magic... just who exactly are you?"
...............
Somewhere in a high tower of Crocus Mercurius Palace.
Dressed in a Knight Order uniform, Stella stretched lazily and leaned against the window, gazing in the direction of the Arena.
With a languid voice, she said, "Ah~ ah~, those guys from Fairy Tail did pretty well. They actually managed to beat those two brats who were using incomplete Dragon Force. Even though they were just immature kids, they had at least touched the threshold of Dragon Slayer magic. Looks like, despite disappearing for seven years, their strength has surpassed what it was back on Tenrou Island."
"If Dylan finds out about this, his feelings will probably be complicated. I just hope he doesn’t impulsively go after Fairy Tail’s Dragon Slayers and cause unnecessary trouble. What do you think, Commander Stella?"
A voice, carrying both amusement and exhaustion, came from behind Stella.
Stella turned her head and looked at Garlos, who had a weary smile on his face.
"Why are even you calling me that? That boring title feels way too awkward."
"Haha, you’ll just have to endure it for now. After all, in order to participate in the plan legitimately, you needed a suitable military rank. Ophelia went through quite a bit of trouble to arrange that for you." Garlos rubbed his temples in frustration, leaning against the wall as he spoke.
