Fairy Tail: The Three Sacred Magic

In the open space, the wind blew up the dust. Hal led Lucy through several imperial magic guards and walked towards a temporary camp.

Lucy felt the tense magic atmosphere in the air, and she felt a little uneasy.

In front of the tent, Meister frowned, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Your Majesty, are you going to open the gate in advance? This is not in line with the original plan..." His voice was a little nervous.

Simon, who was standing by, crossed his arms, his eyes were firm and calm, and he said lightly: "This is your majesty's decision."

"But..." Meister's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Midnight had already been lying on the magic carpet. He seemed to be indifferent to everything around him and was still snoring. The breeze blew across the faint smile on his lips.

Meister raised his hand and touched his short hair, which had just been cut not long ago, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

A few months ago, he was just an unknown person, but now he was involved in such a huge plan, and he was a little confused.

"Your Majesty... why do you trust me so much? He should know that I have infiltrated Fairy Tail..."

Then he shook his head, feeling that he could not get the answer to this question in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the thoughts of a legendary wizard like me are not something I can guess"

——

In the temporary tent, the magic lamp swayed slightly, and the light and shadow danced on Lucy's face.

"Lucy, I will ask you to open the door later."

Lucy was about to respond, and Hal continued: "I can't open the door to your world directly, but you can.

As long as you have a strong will, you can go back to the moment when the dragons attacked, or even earlier."

"You mean...?"

"However, there is a problem here," Hal narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression serious, "traveling through the past and traveling through the future are two different things.

You are actually in another world in the past, but from the concept of the timeline, now is still the past."

"What do you mean?" Lucy looked at him confused.

"That is to say, whether you can travel back to your own world again depends on your obsession and... the choice of fate."

Lucy's eyes gradually became firm, and the faces of her companions appeared in her mind. Their laughter and the interweaving of life and death moments ignited her heart like a raging fire.

She nodded heavily: "I understand! Hal, as long as I can save everyone, I am willing to give everything!"

"Very good!" Hal nodded with satisfaction, "Open the door with such determination."

"Open the door with such determination~" A familiar voice sounded on the side, and even repeated Hal's words.

"Huh?" Hal turned his head in confusion.

I saw a man wearing a dark green cloak suddenly appear in the black shadow of the tent.

He just looked at Hal, with a confident smile on his lips.

"Boy, where do you want to go?" Gildarts said with a smile.

"Gildarts?! Why are you here!"

"Mira asked me to keep an eye on you during the day, and as I expected, you used your clone to deceive everyone, but your real body appeared in this place."

"Mira..." Hal's eyes dimmed slightly, and he remembered his promise to Mira, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Seeing this, Gildarts's expression became more solemn: "This trip is very dangerous, right?"

"Ah... To be honest, I'm not 100% sure."

"Stinky boy! Why don't you take me with you!"

"You!?"

"Why, do you look down on me? Thanks to you, I have slept for seven years, not only has my magic power become stronger, but the hidden injuries and... kidney deficiency in my body have all been solved! Now I am so strong!" Gildarts laughed loudly.

"What the hell is kidney deficiency..." Lucy on the side complained unconsciously.

"Uncle..." Hal was a little moved, and gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not here for you! If you can't go back, Cana and Mira won't let me go!"

Hal couldn't help laughing, and the heavy mood before quietly dissipated at this moment: "Ah, then I'll leave it to you! Gildarts!"

"Oh!"

——

Soon, the three stood in front of the magnificent Eclipse Gate. The huge door seemed to have never moved, exuding an ancient and heart-pounding magical atmosphere.

The light brought by countless magic circles sprinkled from the sky, shining on the heavy door, and the patterns of the magic circle flickered slightly in the sun.

All around, the Imperial Magic Guards stood like statues, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the front.

The cannons stood on the periphery, and the heavy magic gun barrels pointed quietly to the sky, as if they could burst out with destructive power at any time.

"Oh? It's really magnificent, so many magic circles, it's unprecedented." Gildartsexclaimed.

He followed Hal all the way in, but in order to prevent Hal from discovering him immediately, he kept using magic to hide himself, so he walked very slowly.

It just so happened that Hal at that time had lost most of his magic power and his perception was also reduced a lot, so he didn't notice him.

As for why Simon and Midnight and others didn't find his trace, it can only be said that with Gildarts' current strength, this little thing is still easy.

Simon stood beside Hal, looked at Gildarts and Lucy beside him, frowned, and was full of worry.

He asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, are you planning to go through this gate yourself?"

"Yes, the plan has changed temporarily. I have other things to do now."

Simon hesitated for a moment, obviously not expecting to deviate so much from the original plan...

"But we have no idea what is behind the door, should we be more cautious..."

"You don't understand, but I have traveled through it once before." Hal raised the corner of his mouth slightly and patted Simon's shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, Simon, when the plan is over, I will give you a holiday to accompany Kagura. She performed very well today, maybe she will become stronger than you soon."

Simon smiled bitterly and shook his head, and the tension in his heart eased a little.

As Hal's subordinate, Simon joined him three years ago and participated in many major events in the empire.

For Simon, destroying the black magic cultists is his lifelong belief, and Hal is undoubtedly the best candidate to achieve this goal.

"I understand, Your Majesty. I wish you good luck in military affairs." Simon saluted solemnly, with endless respect for Hal in his eyes.

"Hal, are you ready to open the door? Do you want me to help you?" Gildarts said teasingly.

"Oh, who do you think I am? I've already prepared it." Hal replied without showing any weakness.

He stepped forward, with golden magic wrapped around his hands, surging towards the magic circle in the center.

The terrifying magic poured in like a tide, and countless magic circles around him instantly lit up with dazzling light, and the whole venue seemed to be ignited by the scorching sun.

"That's almost it." Hal retracted his right hand, then turned to look at Lucy, his tone as firm as iron: "Lucy, open the door! Return to your world with your determination and faith!"

Lucy took a deep breath, gathered all the star spirit magic in her body, and the golden light overflowed from her body, and her fingertips gently touched the door.

To everyone's surprise, the originally heavy door seemed to be easily pushed open by an invisible giant hand, and slowly separated to both sides.

A huge gap was torn in the space instantly, and dazzling light gushed out from the gate, illuminating every corner around.

"It seems that it is much easier for the Celestial Mage to open the gate."

"Oh! What a strange magic!" Gildarts looked curious, as if he was looking at a rare toy.

Lucy, who was standing in front, didn't care so much. She held Hal and Gildarts' hands one by one.

With firm determination and the belief of saving her companions, she plunged into the white light.

The gate slowly closed, leaving Simon standing there, holding the greatsword at his waist, standing like a guardian god at the place where the light disappeared, quietly watching the light that was about to disappear.
