Chapter 538 The Perfect Version of the Eclipse Gate
"This book————"
Chase frowned slightly as he examined the spellbook in his hand.
Although on the surface, this book, apart from being slightly old-fashioned, is not much different from the neatly arranged books around it.
However, upon closer inspection, one can clearly detect faint and strange magical fluctuations from it.
This is the fundamental reason why he was attracted to it.
Just as I was about to open it to see what was inside, I heard a "buzz" and the magic book suddenly emitted a blinding white light.
The white light instantly enveloped Chase, illuminating the entire library, but the next second, it was crushed into countless light fragments by the suddenly erupting black tornado, which quickly dissipated after briefly floating in mid-air.
"I see, I hadn't remembered that for a moment."
Chase smiled and slowly put away the quick-attack spell card [Whirlwind], which could nullify magic, from his fingertips.
He's no longer the novice magic user he was when he first transmigrated; he can now easily react to unexpected situations of this magnitude.
"Chess, what happened?" Wendy walked over quickly, her delicate and lovely face filled with confusion and worry.
"It's nothing, just a prank hidden in this book." Chase laughed and shook the spellbook, which had lost its effect.
The strange event he had just witnessed reminded him of the book's origin.
In the side story of the original work, Natsu, Lucy, Erza and the others accidentally triggered the magic in the book, which transported them to the past world when they were still children.
There, Natsu, unable to bear seeing his younger self being beaten down by Gray, gave little Natsu a vicious scolding.
When Lucy, the young lady of the Heartfelt family, had an accident, she was bravely rescued by Lucy dressed as a bunny girl. She saw the Fairy Tail crest on the back of Lucy's right hand, which planted the seed of longing for Fairy Tail magicians in her heart.
Erza also cleared up the misunderstanding between herself and Mira, who was a delinquent girl in her childhood.
Therefore, it is clear that the origin of this book is definitely not simple—the impact of Nazuna Lucy and the others' time travel actually occurred in the "future."
It's also a time-travel magic, but its effect is even more powerful than the Eclipse Gate!
After all, the Eclipse Gate requires two necessary prerequisites: excess magic power and a Celestial Spirit Mage.
In other words, this is unlikely to be something Jelf cobbled together.
"This is good stuff. I'll have to tell the old man about it later, and have the Dark Magician and the others study it carefully."
Chess thought to himself.
"Memory Days — does that mean 'days for remembering the deceased'?"
Wendy peeked out from under the covers, glanced at the book title, and asked curiously, "What does Chess mean by 'prank'?"
"We'll forcibly send everyone we come into contact with back there," Chase explained with a smile.
"Send, send it over there?!" Wendy was startled and instinctively took two steps back to create a safe distance.
Thank goodness she wasn't Lucy, otherwise she would be yelling at the top of her lungs: This has gone far beyond a prank!
"Hmm? I thought you'd be really excited when you found out, that you can go back in time and see Grandine," Chase said.
When it comes to adoptive parents, Wendy's obsession is no less than that of Nazgajeru and the others.
"I probably would have before, but now—"
Wendy tilted her head and thought for a moment, then a sweet, reassuring smile appeared on her lips. "I feel like Grandine is right beside me."
"Besides, I feel like going back to the past is more like escapism, and Grandine definitely doesn't want me to do that!"
Chase was genuinely surprised this time; he hadn't expected little Wendy to think so clearly about the problem.
Yet Zeref, who had lived for over four hundred years, couldn't even see this principle.
"Wendy is great, much smarter than that blockhead Natsu." Chess, realizing what was happening, reached out and patted Wendy's head.
At the same time, he was also wondering what would have happened if he hadn't dispelled the magic.
Is he transported to Magnolia several years in the past, or back to the time when he first arrived in the Fairy Tail world, or even to the "past" before he had a stroke of luck on his way to work?
It's a pity we can't try it, because there's a real possibility of dying, even if the latter possibility is extremely small!
Wendy was a little embarrassed by the compliments, letting Chase pat her head and smiling sheepishly.
"Chesco is really amazing! I definitely wouldn't be able to defend against him." The little girl's eyes were full of admiration.
"Don't worry, Wendy will become an excellent mage like me in the future." Chase smiled and withdrew his hand.
Well, when praising someone, he doesn't forget to shamelessly elevate himself as well.
"Really?!" Wendy's eyes lit up, her face beaming with joy.
"Of course it's true. Don't forget you're a Dragon Slayer Mage raised by dragons."
"hey-hey."
"Hey Chess, can I ask you a question?"
"Don't just say one, ten or a hundred would be fine!"
"That's—"
After a brief pause, Wendy asked tentatively, "What did Erza do to punish Mira?"
Everyone's reaction, especially Mila's, was so unusual that the little girl is still incredibly curious, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly.
Chess: "————" This question is way too far off!
"Don't ask so many questions, kid. Just focus on your book."
Upon hearing this, Wendy's cheeks puffed up instantly, and she put her hands on her hips, huffing, "Chess is lying! He clearly said ten or a hundred would be fine!"
By the time Chase and Wendy left the library and returned to the guild hall, it was already dusk.
Unable to answer, Chase offered to take Wendy to the card space as compensation.
Wendy, who wasn't angry to begin with, readily agreed.
During this time, he also handed the mysteriously obtained magic book to the Dark Mage and granted Wendy's request to touch the legendary White Stone.
Legend has it that Whitestone still treats Wendy very well, but unfortunately there is no sign of her hatching.
Upon entering the guild, only a few scattered individuals remained.
Mira, who was clearing the table, asked with a smile, "Chess, Wendy, you're back! Did you enjoy reading?"
'
"Yes!" Wendy nodded emphatically.
"Where are the others?" Chase asked, glancing around briefly.
"Uru and Urutia have to catch the last train of the day. It's getting late, and everyone else has already gone home."
Erza walked slowly towards us.
"Oh, so you do know it's getting late. Why didn't you go back to the girls' dorm when Levy and the others called you? Did you want to go home with Chase for a nice, nice meal?" Mira said abruptly, emphasizing the last few words.
The two unexpected sentences made Erza lose her balance and almost perform her signature move of falling flat on her face in front of Wendy.
"No, no, no! I only waited until now because I wanted to be with Wendy!!" The Fairy Queen blushed furiously and hurriedly explained.
Chess coughed twice, silently swallowing back the words, "It's not impossible."
