Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

”If Lucy is currently in Northern Continent, Guiltina, then who was the Lucy I saw just now?!”

Macao continued.

”Hahaha, it couldnʼt possibly be a fake, right? I still remember exactly what the guild members look like and what their auras are like!”

Then, Macao laughed loudly and continued speaking.

”Pa~”

After hearing Macaoʼs words, Evan did not answer. He merely snapped his fingers lightly.

Immediately, the image on the Magic Crystal in Macaoʼs hand changed…

Northern Continent, Guiltina, Earth-landʼs largest labyrinth, the Dracula Mag Labyrinth…

”Open! Gate of the Taurus, Taurus!”

”Open! Gate of the Leo, Loke!”

”Open! Gate of the Capricorn, Capricorn!”

Inside the labyrinth, facing the constant pursuit of her pursuers, Lucy finally stopped and turned around, preparing to fight. With a wave of her hand, three Magic Circles formed in front of her. The next second, three Celestial Spirits belonging to the Twelve Zodiac, and who could be considered the highest-ranking Celestial Spirits that could be summoned under normal circumstances, appeared in front of Lucy just like that.

”Lucy, you really have an excellent figure today too~”

The Celestial Spirit of Taurus, Taurus, had black and white patches covering his entire body, resembling a bipedal two-headed cow. He was a genuine NTR minotaur warrior, and the moment he appeared, he began praising Lucyʼs voluptuous figure.

”Miss, leave this place to this old man!”

The Celestial Spirit of Capricorn, Capricorn, wore a tuxedo and had black sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose. He looked like an extremely elegant butler and the personal bodyguard of a young lady. He spoke with seriousness and confidence.

”Lucy, oh! My Lucy! My princess, we meet again~”

Finally, there was Loke, who seemed like a playboy. He came to Lucyʼs side and gently wrapped an arm around her slender waist, while a rose was still held in his mouth. He looked as greasy as could possibly be. If Lucy did not know that this guy was one of the Celestial Spirits of the Twelve Zodiac, as well as the leader of the Celestial Spirits, she would have thought Loke was a gigolo from Blue Pegasus.

”Forget it! You go back first!”

After thinking for a while, Lucy activated Forced Closure on Loke.

”Hm?!”

Lokeʼs expression changed slightly, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

”Hehe, Loke, Iʼm not the me from before anymore!”

”Now, I can completely force you to go back…”

Lucy looked at Loke, whom she had forcibly sent back, and the corners of her mouth slightly rose. During these days in the Great Labyrinth, her magic power had indeed increased. This was a fact.

”Next is this! Open! Gate of the Virgo, Virgo!”

After thinking for a while, Lucy opened the Gate of the Celestial Spirit of Virgo.

”Princess~”

”Just now, I saw that pervert Loke go back, so I knew the princess was going to summon me~”

”So, Princess, are you planning to train me here? Iʼm so happy~”

Virgo wore a neat maid outfit and held a leather whip in her hand. She spoke to Lucy expressionlessly.

”No, you donʼt have the qualifications to call Loke a pervert, right? Although he really is a pervert…”

”In any case, Iʼm not going to train you!”

”Virgo, help me defeat all these guys in front of me…”

After hearing Virgoʼs words, Lucy was speechless and could not help complaining.

”Understood, Princess!”

”You plan to let me defeat all these enemies first, and then come play games with me?!”

After hearing Virgoʼs words, a hint of amusement appeared in Lucyʼs eyes.

”Of course not…”

At this, Lucy roared.

”Lucy, you finally stopped running! Looks like you have realized your fate!”

On the other side, as one member after another of the Mage Guild, Diabolos, blocked Lucyʼs path, a voice that made Lucyʼs entire body go numb came from among the crowd.

The next second, a man with short cherry-pink hair and a tattered coat walked toward Lucy!

”Itʼs Guild Master Natsu!”

”The great King of Dragon Eaters, Lord Fire Dragon King!”

”The strongest Guild Master in Diabolosʼs history! Lord Natsu!”

As that figure that seemed almost like a demon god arrived, one member after another of the Mage Guild Diabolos knelt on one knee and spoke toward that figure with incomparable reverence.

”Natsu, it really is you…”

Lucy looked at the newcomer with a helpless expression. She knew that the person who had been relentlessly pursuing her all these days had to be Natsu.

”Hehehe!”

”Lucy, you finally stopped running?!”

”Then now itʼs time for you to fight me to the death!”
