Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 153 Irene’s inquiry

In the chaotic dream, Lyle heard many familiar voices, and the owners of these voices were calling him, forcing him to wake up from the nightmare.

"Well--"

There was no pain in his body anymore. It must have been the blessing that healed his body, but his whole body still felt sore from sleeping for too long.

"you're awake?"

Lyle's eyes focused, and he finally saw clearly that the woman sitting beside the bed was Irene.

Wearing a large magic robe, Irene sat on a chair resolutely, with her hands resting on the knee of her raised right leg, her eyes fixed on Lyle, and she smiled lightly.

She knew that Lyle was in good health, but was still awake for some reason, so she was not worried when she stayed by the bedside.

Lyle sat up, scratched his silver hair, and figured out the situation.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's not that long. You slept in the star spirit world for seven days, which is equivalent to 21 months in the human world."

"Am I still in the star spirit world?"

"Yes, the Star Spirit King arranged a place for you to recuperate."

It seems that he rashly broke into the fifth level, exposed himself to the apostle's curse, and absorbed a lot of the breath of the underworld. In addition, the most extreme dragon transformation-"Blue-Eyed Chaos Extreme Dragon Form" consumed too much and cost him a lot. A big price to pay.

Lyle then calculated the time he had spent in the underworld, and found that it was about two and a half hours, which is equivalent to about 150 days, or about five months.

Ling Ling finally got up. He went to the underworld and recuperated in the star spirit world. More than two years had passed in the human world.

Naturally, time jumped from the end of the year X690 to the year X693 in an instant, and there were only less than 777 years left before the year X84.

Lyle looked guilty.

"I'm sorry, Irene, for making you and Erza worried..."

"It doesn't matter, it's good that you can come back safely. At that time, I also agreed to let you go. Erza, Kuanghua, Sera, Mebis, Xianlong and Infernal Dragon came to see you one after another, but you were As they were in a deep sleep, I asked them to go back first.”

"That's good. They all have their own business. They can't leave the Dragon Secret Realm for too long, and Mavis can't leave the Fairy Tail Guild for too long."

Lyle nodded. It was precisely because Irene was so reliable, decisive and authoritative that she was his most solid backing.

Irene picked up a red oily apple from the fruit plate, picked up a knife, and gently peeled the skin.

She could have used magic to complete this step, but she preferred to peel off the skin of the apple for Lyle with her own hands.

Lyle didn't like eating apple peels, a habit she always remembered.

"Lyle, what's going on?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, what exactly did you encounter behind the gate of the underworld? When the Star Spirit King notified us to come over, you were lying on the hospital bed with scars, but there were no fatal injuries, but your magic power was almost exhausted and your spirit was You were also injured. The Celestial Spirit King also said that you were initially filled with a dark aura that didn’t dissipate until we arrived..."

After Erin's description, Lyle immediately had a picture of that time. Everyone must be panicking around him, right?

However, he did not regret entering the gate of Hades, nor did he regret forcing himself into the fifth floor and seeing the scene at the gate of the sixth floor.

Erin cut the apple in half and cut off the core before handing it to Lyle.

Lyle took it, but handed half back to Erin.

The two of them were half of each other, biting the juicy pulp, silent for a while.

After a long time, Lyle finished eating half of the apple meat before answering Irene's question. "Behind the gate of Hades is the underworld. I don't know how many floors it has in total, but I got to the fifth floor, so it must have at least a sixth floor, and there should even be a seventh floor."

"The layer structure...why do you suspect there is a seventh layer?"

"The situation at the time made me judge this. The Gate of Hades in the underground cave is the entrance to the first floor. The gate to the second floor is guarded by a Skeleton Knight with the level of an S-class magician. The gate to the third floor is guarded by a Skeleton Knight. The gate on the first floor is guarded by a demon who is at the level of the Ten Great Saints, and the gate on the fourth floor is guarded by a female giant who is beyond the level of the Ten Great Saints..."

While Lyle was talking, Irene saw that his lips were white and chapped, so she brought a cup of hot water.

This is also Lyle's personal habit. He likes to drink boiled water, but is not very keen on traditional black tea.

"Thank you."

Lyle took it and drank it, moistening his lips and throat before continuing.

"The one guarding the gate of the fifth floor is the huge severed hand we met in the Sea of ​​Misty. It has the strength I had when I faced the black dragon Akunologia more than 300 years ago. After entering the fifth floor, Almost all of them are monsters at the level of severed hands, which I call ‘apostles’.”

Although Lyle's tone was calm, Erin could hear the danger in it.

"The injuries on your body were caused by these apostles?"

"Yes. I was forced to use the 'Blue Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon Form' before I forced my way through and reached the entrance to the sixth floor gate."

Before, besides Lyle, only Irene in the world had seen his "Blue Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon Form". It was originally used by him to deal with the black dragon Acnologia, but he didn't expect to use it here.

"No wonder your magic power is almost exhausted...and then, who is guarding the gate of the sixth floor?"

Lyle shook his head.

"There's nothing there."

"Nothing at all?"

Irene frowned in confusion. This was beyond her expectation. She originally thought that Lyle had met an enemy that was absolutely impossible to fight against, so she immediately used his methods to come to the world of stars.

However, things apparently took an unexpected turn.

"Eileen, do you know the Cartier Cathedral in Magnolia?"

"Of course I know. It is a place of legend. It is said that there was once a mortal who was promoted to an 'Archangel' there, and the Cartier Cathedral has become famous throughout the ages."

"I believe that the person guarding the gate of the sixth floor is also such an archangel. However, his position was deliberately left vacant, waiting for his successor."

"successor?"

"Whether Maldo or other demons, the 'Pluto' they deliberately want to become is just a stepping stone, so that they have a way to be promoted, and then have the opportunity to become an apostle, and finally an archangel."

Erin lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Lyle and woke up.

"You mean, you are now on the path to becoming an archangel in the underworld?"

She still remembered that Lyle mentioned that he was cursed by the gods.

"This is just a possibility, which is why I think there will be a seventh level. According to the rules, all the archangels above the sixth level will be, and the seventh level should be gods."

"Can you get rid of this arrangement?"

Lyle was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Of course, I will never be at his mercy. If the current strength is not enough, then I will become stronger. Not to mention, this is just a possibility, and I may not necessarily be an archangel on this path .”

From this moment on, the biggest threat to him is not the black dragon Akunologia and Zeref, but the gods.
