Chapter 451: The Council Comes at the Right Time
Five of the Six Oración Seis were safely taken into custody. As for Zero... well, they had to pack him into a box.
His eerie skull-topped staff had been reduced to ashes at some point during the battle, so they sealed it in the same box with him.
By the time cleanup was done, it was already late at night. Everyone headed back to Cait Shelter for some much-needed rest.
The guild had plenty of empty rooms, so housing the dozen or so coalition members was no issue.
Master Roubaul welcomed them warmly. He seemed like he had something important to say, but when he saw everyone was exhausted and covered in cuts and bruises, he simply smiled and told them to get some rest.
Even Wendy, who had done most of the healing, looked like she might collapse any minute. Half a year ago, she probably would have fainted after such intense healing.
That night passed quietly.
By the time they all woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
Rhodes was the first to wake, mostly because he couldn’t sleep sharing a room with Natsu and Gray.
He slipped out of bed and, with a mischievous grin, turned Gray’s sleeping form around so that his head faced Natsu’s feet and vice versa.
Gray twitched in his sleep and unconsciously rolled over, grabbing Natsu’s leg like a body pillow and landing a solid kick right in Natsu’s face.
