Chapter 737: Farewells and Guild Attacks
"So, what are your plans now?"
Feng Ye asked, looking at Ul tearfully.
Gray, standing beside him, turned to Ul and said, "This is already a world ten years in the future. Master, if you have nowhere to go, you can come to our guild..."
Ul blinked and asked, "Fairy Tail?"
Even though she had been frozen for ten years, a decade ago, Fairy Tail was already the most famous and recognized as the strongest guild in Fiore, as one of the top five wizard saints, Volod Sinnken, was a veteran of Fairy Tail.
After a moment of contemplation, Ul still shook her head gently and smiled, "Never mind, Gray. You've grown, found your own guild and companions, and successfully graduated. You don't need me by your side anymore."
"But..."
Gray interjected, but before he could finish, Ul gently interrupted with a smile, "I've been in a state of frozen stasis for ten years and am unfamiliar with the present world. But there are still things I want to do."
She paused, looking at Feng Ye with a serious gaze, and said, "You saved my life, and I owe you a debt of gratitude. Is there anything you need my help with?"
"No," Feng Ye shook his head gently.
Ul's expression turned solemn as she said, "If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to find me. I will do my best to assist you."
Feng Ye smiled faintly and said, "Go forth on your new journey. Once you've accomplished what you set out to do, you are always welcome to join Fairy Tail."
Ul hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Alright, since you've extended the invitation, I will take you up on it."
Her resurrection a decade after the mutual destruction with Deリオラ was unexpected, and she still had many unresolved issues from the past, including finding her daughter, Ultear.
Feng Ye glanced at Ul, as if seeing through her thoughts, and gently smiled, reminding her, "If you wish to find your daughter, she is now a member of the Magic Council."
"Eh?"
Ul was taken aback, "A member of the Magic Council? She has risen to such heights."
The Magic Council stood above the guilds and was the center of magic in the entire Ishgar continent. It was led by a chairman and comprised of multiple council members who decided the future direction of the magical world.
While not all council members might possess overwhelming strength, their status was among the highest in the magical community.
"Well, it's about time we part ways then," Feng Ye said, not divulging further information. He smiled and nodded at Ul, then led Lucy, Erza, and the others toward a distant village.
Ul waved at the departing figures of Feng Ye and his companions, then turned to Leo beside her and asked, "What about you? Do you have any plans?"
"I... I will continue to train and adventure to fulfill my promise of surpassing you," Leo replied after a brief hesitation.
"That's good," Ul said with a gentle smile, then took a step forward in another direction and soon disappeared from view, leaving only Leo and his fallen companions and subordinates in the ruined ruins.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Erza looked at Natsu and Gray indifferently and said, "By the way, don't expect any rewards for this mission. You temporarily stole the mission request without the guild's formal acceptance, so you are not eligible to claim any rewards."
"..." Natsu and Gray's expressions froze.
But thinking about it, the mission was only completed after Erza and Feng Ye joined. From this perspective, they indeed aren't qualified to receive the mission reward.
Lucy's expression turned stiff, and after a brief hesitation, she tugged on Feng Ye's sleeve with her small hand, her eyes pleading. She clasped her hands in front of her and said, "We shouldn't take the formal reward, but there's an additional reward—one of the Zodiac keys. Can I...?"
"No!"
Elsa rebutted immediately.
But Feng Ye smiled and said, "While it's true that we don't qualify for the mission reward, we did complete the request. In that regard, we have the right to ask for some compensation. Asking for just one key isn't unreasonable."
"Oh!!! You're the best, Feng Ye!"
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Lucy cheered, her emotions overflowing. She threw her arms around Feng Ye and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Elsa sighed helplessly, watching this scene, and said, "You spoil them too much."
Feng Ye laughed, letting Lucy hang on to him, and said, "After all, they didn't truly betray the guild or harm their companions—mistakes that are unforgivable."
Soon, the group arrived at a village on the island. They collected the mission reward—the key to the Sagittarius seat of the Zodiac—and then left the island, returning to Magnolia.
...
On the street, Lucy wore a smile, her mood cheerful.
Although she might still face reprimand and punishment from Master Makarov, Feng Ye wasn't angry, and she had gotten the Zodiac key she wanted. Her spirits were naturally high.
"How about we go to Mount Zonia for a trip in a few days? I've heard that the hot springs there are famous worldwide, and I've always wanted to go but never had the chance."
"Hmm, hot springs? That could be a nice way to relax after a mission."
Feng Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Elsa shook her head beside him. "I got some free travel vouchers for that place and was planning to invite you to join me in a couple of days."
Gray perked up at the mention of a hot spring resort. "That sounds amazing!"
Elsa, expressionless, replied, "I only have two free vouchers, so you guys can forget about it."
Lucy couldn't help but smile awkwardly and shrink her neck, feeling like she had inadvertently ruined Elsa's plans.
Just then, Natsu exclaimed in shock, "What's that?!"
Elsa, Gray, and the others turned to look at the Fairy Tail Guild building. They saw that it had been pierced by massive iron pillars, clearly under attack!
"Looks like we did something to provoke them," Feng Ye remarked calmly, gazing at the scene.
Natsu, realizing that their guild had been attacked, became furious. Flames ignited on his fists, and he gritted his teeth. "Damn it... who did this?!"
Elsa's face darkened as she recognized the symbol left on the pillars. "That's the mark of the Phantom Lord Guild!"
