Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 226: Modern Times Are Too Dangerous, I'm Going Back to Ancient Times!

"Do you have something you want to talk to me about?"

"It should be the first time we meet, right?"

"I wonder what you want to talk to me about..."

Anna looked at Evan who suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the youth with some caution.

From Anna's point of view, this young man with short brown hair in front of her was filled with countless mysteries.

Unlike the king of Kingdom Fiore and her descendant, Layla, this young man in front of her did not show any surprise from the beginning to the end. Whether it was when she walked out of the Gate of Eclipse, or when she was talking to Layla and Toma E. Fiore about the secret four hundred years ago, the young man in front of her had always been expressionless, as if the young man had already known about these things.

This seemed very abnormal to Anna, and it was extremely dangerous. In addition, the young man deliberately got rid of Layla and Toma E. Fiore and waited for her here. This made Anna even more vigilant towards the young man in front of her, Evan.

"Don't be so vigilant, I won't do anything to you..."

Evan's sharp aggressiveness could easily capture the changes in the human heart. He knew that Anna in front of him was very cautious of him at the moment. Evan smiled gently and tried to comfort Anna.

"If you have anything to say to me, please say it quickly!"

Anna shook her head slightly. She did not let her guard down easily because of Evan's young appearance and gentle words. Anna still remembered that Evan had directly seen through the Spirit Dragon Slayer Magic and talked with a giant dragon in the children's bodies.

A magister who can directly talk to a proud dragon face to face, his strength is extraordinary...

Perhaps, the youth in front of her was some old monster that had lived for a hundred years, or maybe, Anna thought so.

"Oh, to introduce myself from the new, my name is Igneel, Igneel Belserion, Igneel is a name you probably haven't heard before, but I don't know if you've ever heard of the surname Belserion."

Evan could see Anna's vigilance, so he directly said his full name to Anna.

"Belsarion, is that the name of a dragon?"

"Wait, I remember... there seems to be a kingdom where dragons dance together. Their queen is Belsarion..."

Anna was a person who learned a lot. Even if it was 400 years ago, she still had a lot of knowledge. She was one of the few people who stood at the top of the knowledge in the entire continent of cultivation. As a result, after Evan said his surname, Anna had a flash of realization.

"It seems that you understand."

Evan did not continue to explain. After seeing Anna's expression of sudden realization, he knew that the other party had probably understood his identity.

"It turns out that in these four hundred years, not only did our Heartfilia Family inherit it, but there are also other families!"

Anna's expression was a bit emotional. A family that could inherit four hundred years was more or less something.

"Eh..."

After listening to Anna's words, Evan was stunned for a moment. It was clear that Anna had misunderstood. Anna regarded the relationship between Evan and Irene as the relationship between Anna and Layla. In other words, Anna regarded Evan as the descendant of countless generations of Irene...

However, Evan did not explain anything. After all, Irene had lived for four hundred years and had lived until now. Perhaps it was still quite shocking for a 'ordinary' mage like Anna. Although Anna was not that ordinary...

"In short, there is something I need to tell you."

Just as Anna was sighing with emotion, Evan continued to speak.

"En?"

Anna was stunned for a moment. After hearing Evan's words, she immediately adjusted her state and withdrew from her emotional state. She looked at Evan with all her heart.

"First of all, after four hundred years, Acnologia is still active in a corner of this world. In other words, whether the world is destroyed or not, it is still within Acnologia's mind. Of course, for now, Acnologia is not that crazy..."

Evan truthfully told Anna about Acnologia. In fact, according to the records, after Acnologia accidentally destroyed a human country, he was hiding from the crowd. Perhaps Acnologia himself knew that he was moving further and further in the direction of complete loss of control...

The hero who once guarded the human race defeated the strongest Dragon, who defeated all the dragons in Ishgar, the Western Continent, and the Dragon King. At the same time, he destroyed the giant dragons that devoured humans and chose to be companions with humans. Thus, he bathed in the blood of dragons, turned into a Black Dragon with the wings of despair, and the invincible Black Dragon King Acnologia, had already gone against his original path and was gradually moving further away...

He had even forgotten his own name when he was a human. All he could remember was the name of the giant dragon, Acnologia. He didn't know whether it was hatred or helplessness.

So he used the name Acnologia to dominate the world for four hundred years. For four hundred years, Acnologia was invincible in this world, like a black hole that devoured everything.

"As expected, Acnologia is still alive?"

"If that is the case, Acnologia will definitely be defeated by us!"

Anna's expression suddenly changed, and then her eyes gradually became firm. They carried out the plan of crossing four hundred years, the Gate of Eclipse, and came to this world with the great magic era. Their goal was to defeat Acnologia. Now that Acnologia was still alive, it was exactly what she wanted.

The dragon that could defeat Acnologia had already come to this era. Anna believed that among those children, there would definitely be an existence that could defeat Acnologia.

"This is the first piece of news that needs to be told to you. Next is the second piece of news. The Black Mage Zeref also lives in this era. It is a pity that Zeref still has not found a way to kill him in four hundred years, or crack the curse of Acnologia on his body. In other words, the Black Dragon Acnologia, the Black Mage Zeref, and you, and those children will eventually meet in this era."

Evan did not wait for Anna to finish processing the news about the Black Dragon Acnologia. Then, he released the second piece of news, which was the news that Zeref was still alive.

"Is that so? It's been four hundred years, but he still hasn't found a way to kill himself?"

After hearing Evan's words, Anna's expression darkened. In four hundred years, Zeref hadn't been able to break the curse on his body. In other words, Zeref would find it difficult to break the curse on his body. The curse of Ankhseram was almost an unsolvable existence.

"In fact, the reason why I helped Layla gather the Twelve Celestial Spirits Key and helped your Heartfilia Family open the Gate of Eclipse was also because of Zeref's request."

Evan told Anna that he had been entrusted by Zeref.

"I see..."

Anna nodded slightly. If Zeref had communicated with Evan in advance, then it would be reasonable for Evan to know such detailed information about her, the Gate of Eclipse, and the children.

"Consider it as me reminding you out of good intentions! Anna!"

"I suggest that you don't look for Zeref. To be honest, the four hundred years of loneliness has already made Zeref's mentality and spirit capital reach the verge of collapse. In other words, in my eyes, Zeref is as dangerous as Acnologia. In the worst case scenario, the enemy we need to face is not only the Black Dragon King Acnologia, but also the most talented Black Mage Zeref in the past four hundred years."

"The proof that Zeref's mind was on the verge of collapse was that there was a country called the Alvarez Empirein the west of Ishgar. This country wiped out all the other countries in the Western Continent and absorbed all the mage in the continent. At the same time, it wiped out the Magic Council of the Western Continent. As far as I know, the Emperor of this country is Zeref!"

"Zeref's goal in creating this country was not to deal with Black Dragon Acnologia. Of course, he also had the goal of dealing with Black Dragon! However, his real goal in creating this country was to deal with Ishgar. In order to obtain some hidden things, I can't tell you the details yet because it involves some of our guild's secrets..."

"And then there was the Northern Continent. In fact, four hundred years ago, Acnologia did not eliminate all the dragons because some of the dragons did not choose to participate in the final battle between the dragons and the humans. Instead, they directly chose to escape to the Northern Continent. In four hundred years, there were a few dragons with the name of 'God' born in Northern Continent. It was said that they could rival the gods, and the dragons that could arm wrestle with the Black Dragon Acnologia

"As far as I know, there are people from other worlds. For example, the entire world is facing a crisis of magic loss. They intend to devour our entire world to help their world regain its new life..."

"Anna, the world we are in four hundred years from now might be even more dangerous than four hundred years ago..."

Evan told Anna everything he had sorted out about the situation on the continent.

"Ah, this..."

After Anna heard what Evan said, she even had the illusion that she wanted to open the Gate of Eclipse and return to the past.

Was Black Mage Zeref crazy, he was building a country to attack Ishgar?

What world gave birth to a giant dragon that was comparable to Acnologia?

What world was eyeing the world they were in?

The modern world is too dangerous, it is safer to go there...

In the past, there were no crazy Zeref, giant dragons that were comparable to Acnologia, and other worlds that were eyeing their world covetously. There was only a black dragon, Acnologia that had not gone mad but was only likely to go crazy.

In other words, no matter how you looked at it, it should be safer in the past...

The current Anna was even thinking, was it really right for her to bring the children to the present world

Could it be that, in fact, they had thought of a way to solve the problem of the Black Dragon Acnologia 400 years ago, which was the right choice

For a moment, Anna fell into deep thought...

Anna remained silent, silently looking at Evan. To be honest, what Evan said was a bit too advanced for her, a 400 years old 'ancient'. No, she had to be a little slow...

"That Anna..."

Evan did not wait for Anna to think and continued to speak.

"'Stop! Stop! Stop! Let me slow down! My brain is going to stop working!"

Anna stepped forward and covered Evan's mouth. Then she took out the notebook she carried with her and began to sort out the information she had obtained from Evan bit by bit.
