Chapter 24

Currently, Natsu was drinking some beer on the bar, he wasn't really fond of it before, but it surprisingly helped him to relax his mind.

'Is this why gramps like to drink beer?.... I doubt it, he's just downright drunkard.'

"FINALLY! I FOUND IT!"

Natsu, along with the rest of the guild was startled hearing loud voice. Natsu turned his head and saw Nab, Nab Lasaro, a person who likes to hang around the request board trying to find a 'perfect job' just for him.

And from his joyful look, it seems like he already found it.

"Master! I will be taking this job!" Nab informed as he showed Natsu the request paper.

Natsu raised an eyebrow and read it.

"Not a bad reward for taking care some animals, well then go ahead, I'll notify the client that you're coming."

"Thank you master! Then, I will be leaving do my first job in years!"

He stood up from his seat and went to his office and informed the client about Nab's arrival, he then immediately returned and sat down while drinking some beer.

"Master! We'll be taking this job!"

After reading it, Natsu nodded and waved his hand, "sure, sure, you can go now, I'll inform the client after this."

"Thanks master! Let's go Alzack!"

"W-Wait! Don't drag me, I can walk by myself!"

"Master, I'll be taking this job!"

"I'll be taking this one then."

"Master, our team will be taking this job!"

He glance at the dozens of people lining up while holding a request paper, he ġrȯȧnėd and sat back down.

'Fuck me!'

...

Meanwhile, a couple of miles away from Fiore, in a middle of a forest, a young boy wearing a black trenchcoat with bandages covering his arms and face can be seen.

There are dozens of ash-furred wolves that are about two-three meters in height.

The young boy merely glance at the pack of wolves in contempt as he lift his head high while using his right hand to cover his right eye.

"Kukuku~ it seems that this emperor has been asleep for too long that even an overgrown mutts are offending this emperor."

The young boy flipped his hair to the side before crossing his hands in front of his face, "very well, this emperor shall let the world know of thy awakening."

The wolves growled and slowly approached the young boy who merely gave a mocking look, "Kukuku~ all of you mutts shall be the first to feel the might of the Dark Emperor of Chaos."

The wolves did not wait anymore and they pounced at the young boy simultaneously. While the young boy merely gave a mocking laugh.

"Kukuku~ taste the might of the power that was birthed from the chaos itself! Come forth! The true darkness! The devourer of everything! Mist of Chaos!"

At the same time, he spread his arms wide open and before the wolves could even touch him, dark mist appeared from his body engulfed the area tens of meters around the boy.

"Kukuku~FUWAHAHA!" the boy laughed loudly until he revealed an expression of pain as he crouched down while covering his right eye, "Argh~! Grgh! Thy need to calm down, else the unstable force of chaos will devour thyself!"

After a few minutes of 'suffering' the boy finally sighed in relief as he managed to 'seal' the power of chaos back to his eye.

He stood up and began to walk forward.

"My next journey, Fairy Tail. Beware as the Dark Emperor of Chaos, wielder of the True Darkness magic, the Devourer of Everything, shall devourer everything on his path! Kukuku~!"

Meanwhile, on a way towards Magnolia, a young girl holding a 'katana' that is sealed in a sheath can be seen.

She has a straight, long purple hair and is wearing a white headband with a white ribbon tied at the middle in a bow, pointing straight up.

She's also wearing a traditional Japanese-style yukata/kimono.

She walk for a few minutes and finally arrived at a town, taking a deep breath, she walk towards the town.

"Magonlia...Fairy Tail....Natsu Dragneel, I'm close, the one who defeated Jellal, I'm close." She muttered as she continue to walk towards the direction of the guild, Fairy Tail.
