Chapter 208: Fairy Hunter became the Queen

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Fairy Hunter became the QueenThe massive explosion shook the entire capital city.

Citizens on the streets turned their heads toward the palace, where they saw a column of fire shoot up, accompanied by thick smoke billowing into the sky.

"An explosion?"

"What's going on now?"

"Is the Magic War Division mobilizing? Are we under attack?"

Yet the residents didn't panic. Instead, they seemed more curious than alarmed.

The city's layout was circular, with the land rising higher toward the center, where the palace stood—a towering structure shaped like a spire. The explosion appeared to have originated from the top of the tower.

Inside the audience hall:

With a mere thought, Nate unleashed a shockwave that shattered the grand doors.

"We meet again, Your Majesty," he said calmly, stepping into the hall.

Two lines of elite soldiers stood on either side of the hall, raising their spears at the intruders.

King Faust sat on his throne, glaring darkly at Nate.

"It's you again!" Faust's eyes were wide and bloodshot with rage.

Nate noticed a silver ring on Faust's finger and smirked. "It looks like you've already been using my Magic Net."

"But there's a limit to greed. Mystogan, he's all yours," Nate added, stepping aside to let Mystogan take over.

Mystogan said nothing, silently pulling a magic staff from his back.

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Byro quickly shouted, "What are you all waiting for? Hughes, Erza—take them down!"

Erza held her spear, the Magic Spear: Ten Commandments, but she didn't move. The young man beside her, Hughes, captain of the Third Magic War Division, raised his command staff in response.

At that moment, Nate's gaze sharpened, and his seven-star magic power exploded forth.

'Boom!'

The entire hall shook violently. The soldiers, unable to keep their balance, stumbled and fell, their faces pale with shock.

And that was merely the aftershock. Nate's magic was entirely directed at Hughes, the captain of the Third Magic War Division.

Hughes's mind went blank as Nate's image grew larger in his vision, especially those immense azure eyes that seemed to pierce his soul.

With a thud, Hughes collapsed to his knees, his clothes drenched in cold sweat.

"M-Monster..." he whispered in terror.

Seeing the impact of Nate's display, Mystogan held back from casting any further magics. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meanwhile, Erza Knightwalker furrowed her brow, raising her spear to the king's throat.

"Everyone, drop your weapons!" she commanded in a fierce tone.

"What are you doing, Erza?" Chief Byro was dumbfounded.

Faust's expression darkened. "You've betrayed me, Erza Knightwalker!"

"No," she replied firmly, "I serve the kingdom, not just you."

Erza Knightwalker took a deep breath, speaking calmly.

"Your Majesty, this will be the last time I address you as such."

"Half a month ago, I brought back 10,000 Magic Net rings, and you've already experienced the power of the Magic Net."

"The issue of dwindling magic in this country will no longer be a problem, so why persist with the Anima plan?"

"Even if the plan succeeded, how would you face the inevitable retaliation from the other world?"

"Through the Magic Net, you must be well aware of the power of the mages in the other world."

"Your actions would drag this nation into ruin. You have lost the right to rule as king."

Upon hearing this, Chief Adviser Byro was stunned.

"Are you... staging a coup?"

"I am merely leading this kingdom on the right path," Erza replied with calm determination. She repeated, "All of you, lay down your weapons. Are my words no longer valid?"

The soldiers, battered and disoriented, glanced at one another uncertainly. Eventually, one of them led the way, and the rest quickly followed suit, dropping their weapons.

Faust's forehead veins throbbed with rage. His face twisted in fury as he shouted, "You know nothing! This is for—"

"Sleep Magic."

Mystogan raised his staff, interrupting the king. In an instant, a wave of drowsiness overwhelmed Faust, making his eyelids heavy. Just before he lost consciousness, he turned his gaze toward Mystogan in disbelief.

"That voice... it's you... Je—"

"Rest now, Father," Mystogan said, finally removing his mask. His voice was calm. "Your rule has ended."

Nicely done, Mystogan, thought Nate, relieved that he didn't have to sit through a long-winded speech.

The others, upon seeing Mystogan's face, were collectively stunned.

Chief Adviser Byro gasped. "You... you're Prince Jellal..."

"Jellal?" Wendy and Natsu were equally taken aback, but realization quickly dawned on them—Mystogan was Edolas's Jellal!

Nate, however, found the scene somewhat lackluster. In Edolas, where people had no inherent magic and relied entirely on magic items, Faust was merely an ordinary old man without his forbidden "Dorma Anim" weapon. He couldn't even put up a fight, falling to a simple sleep magic.

Now, with Mystogan's reveal and the king's incapacity, the situation was quickly under control.

"I'll leave it to you, Mystogan," Nate said, giving Erza Knightwalker a nod before turning to leave the audience chamber.

Erza released her grip on her lance, pulling the unconscious king from his throne and handing him over to Mystogan. She then silently followed Nate out of the chamber.

"Follow me. The gold from the ring sales is in my quarters," she said.

Walking behind her, Nate observed Edolas Erza's figure. Even without his Six Eyes ability, he could tell the subtle differences between her and his own Erza.

Their stride lengths were slightly different—probably a result of differences in their fighting styles.

Sensing Nate's gaze, Erza Knightwalker didn't look back but commented in an even tone, "Do I resemble your girlfriend?"

"Not exactly. For one, the hairstyles aren't the same," Nate replied. Then, curious, he asked, "How did you know that Erza is my girlfriend?"

"She told me herself."

"Did she, now?" Nate thought to himself. So they're even on each other's friend lists?

"Knightwalker, you're about to become Queen. Shall we prepare a coronation ceremony for you?"

Erza Knightwalker paused, turning to face him with a faint smile.

"This kingdom doesn't need a coronation ceremony," she replied. "It needs a speech in the Royal Square."

"Nate-san, you will appear as the ambassador from Earth Land, bringing hope to this magic-starved world."

"In my quarters, I have a ceremonial robe ready for you, our savior."
