Chapter 238 The Edchez Squad with Diverse Personalities
The next day.
The deep blue pterosaur set off from the Fairy Tail guild, breaking through the clouds and heading north, leaving the vast forest far behind.
Chase sat atop the city's pterosaur, looking down at the fantastical otherworldly landscape below.
Although it was unclear why he would seek out Edches's team at such a crucial time in the attack on the kingdom, his companions still showed absolute trust in him.
Edmila even brought out a magical device that could locate Edchas and the others—it was something like a smartwatch. When infused with magic, the holographic screen in the middle could display the approximate distance between the current location and the target.
According to Edmila, this was created by Edchas so that the guild members could always find them.
This is why Ed and the Fairy Tail members were so shocked when they first met Chess.
That's seriously cutting-edge technology!
However, upon closer reflection, this world even has magical devices capable of teleporting dozens of people to a fixed location, so a mere positioning device is not surprising.
"City Guardian Pterosaur, you're going to have a tough time." Chase gently patted the City Guardian Pterosaur's back.
According to the location shown on the magic watch, he needed to leave the land where the kingdom was located, cross the vast sea, and head to another continent in the north.
Even Eddard Fairy Tail, who roams the world, knows very little about that mysterious continent and has almost no information about it.
That's why Edches, Edgildas, and the others pinned their hopes on finding magic there and embarked on a two-year-long exploration.
Chess thought this might be the right direction: geographically speaking, the northern part of Edolas should correspond to the continent of Giltina in Esland!
"Hooray~"
The city-guarding pterosaur flapped its wings, turned its head, and blinked, indicating that this journey was just a drop in the ocean.
As proof, its body surface lit up with a blue glow, boosting its speed to the extreme, transforming into a streak of light and speeding away.
In a short time, it flew out of the mainland and entered the airspace of the vast ocean.
The wind howled incessantly in his ears, a sound Chase long since accustomed to, and he sighed softly with a sense of boredom: "Without Lucy..."
I'm feeling a bit bored.
Because his companions were to work with Ed and Fairy Tail to support Mystogan and beat up King Machiavellian, he came out alone this time.
Thinking of this, Chase raised his hand and drew a card, a pink magic circle swirling in front of him.
The summoned Dark Magician Girl was about to strike a cute entrance pose when she let out a cry of surprise and was thrown back by the powerful inertia.
"You scared me! You idiot master, couldn't you have let Gojo-chan stop for a second?!" The dark magic girl turned into a pink streak of light and chased after her.
City moat... sauce?
The city-guarding pterosaur bared its teeth, looking fierce and not to be trifled with: I'm a man!
"What's the point of stopping? You're not going to die from this fall."
Chase smiled and waved to the Dark Magician Girl. "I'm a little bored. Come over and tell me a joke."
"Huh? This genius magical girl is an idol that everyone admires just by standing here, and you actually want me to tell you jokes? Well, considering I let you sneak out for a drive—"
The dark magician girl dispelled her flight magic, leaped onto the back of the guardian pterosaur, and, hands on her hips, said smugly, "If my idiot master begs me, it's not impossible~"
"Forget it, it's funny enough that you're just sitting there," Chase commented casually.
"You bastard master, I'll fight you to the death!!"
The dark magician girl, understanding the meaning behind his words, pounced on him.
Although it does consume some magic power, summoning the silly girl definitely livened up the dull and boring atmosphere considerably.
Time passed quickly as they traveled, and about two hours later, the outline of the mainland finally appeared at the unchanging horizon.
Similar to the location of Fairy Tail, this northern continent, covered by lush jungles, also has various floating islands and sky rivers.
As the protective pterosaurs hurtled through the sky, Chase noticed scattered clusters of buildings below, their style simple and primitive, far removed from the bustling grandeur of the capital.
The people living there are mostly the natives of this continent.
Similar to the situation with Ed and Fairy Tail, they are all humans who rely on magical artifacts and have no magic power of their own.
After a brief exploration, Chess lost interest and, guided by the magic watch, headed towards his destination.
It was a vast, untouched forest, with towering trees hundreds of meters tall everywhere, mushrooms as large as small mountains, silent yet dangerous, filled with the primal atmosphere of a fantastical world.
"Silly master, the magic concentration here seems to be much higher than where Edlucy and the others live."
The dark magician girl snatched her staff, blasted away the strange bird that was attacking her and treating the city's guardian pterosaur like a snack, and then opened her bright, sparkling eyes to survey the primeval forest below.
She has a remarkably keen sense of magic, which can be considered one of the few unblemished qualities of this silly girl.
"In that case, it's not surprising that 'I' am here," Chase said.
The Edches Squad left the guild and embarked on their journey with the aim of finding magic!
"The Lucinatsu and the others in this world all have opposite personalities, so could that idiot master be the same?"
The dark magician girl chuckled, her cute face full of malice. "I really want to see him cry in fear."
"—You just want to see my face, don't you?"
Chase raised his hand and tapped her on the head. "And another thing, you've gotten used to calling me 'idiot master,' haven't you? Do you even want to stay outside anymore?"
"Mmm." The dark magic girl shut her mouth, looking aggrieved.
Roar! !
Just then, a cold and furious monster roar suddenly came from the depths of the distant dense forest, followed by a commotion as strangely shaped birds flapped their wings and fled.
After checking the location displayed on the magic watch and confirming that it was the direction where Edchas's team was, Chase immediately sent the city-guarding winged dragon back to the card space to rest, and then sneaked over there with the dark magic girl.
When they arrived at the source of the commotion, they saw a giant blue-striped python, over a thousand meters long, roaring and darting swiftly across the ruins covered in vines and vegetation.
In front of the giant python, several tiny figures screamed and ran away as fast as they could, looking quite disheveled.
"Are those Gildarts, Laxus, and the Thunder Gods?"
Despite being mentally prepared, the Dark Magician Girl still couldn't help but gasp when she actually saw the man at the head of the fleeing group, "And, cough cough, handsome master?!"
Chase's pupils also contracted, revealing a look of shock: that guy's appearance was exactly the same as his own!
"Their situation doesn't seem too good."
Just as the group was about to be caught by the giant python, the dark magic girl immediately lit up with pink light, preparing to send a cool and beautiful girl to the rescue.
However, once Chase calmed down, he pulled her back: "What's the rush? Let's see first."
This primeval forest, inhabited by all sorts of ferocious beasts and giant creatures, is obviously dangerous to ordinary people without magic.
If they didn't have some skills, Edchas's team would have perished in the wilderness long ago, and there's no way they would have survived until now!
Therefore, he wanted to see what extraordinary abilities this team, which Edmila spoke highly of and which had his counterpart, possessed. As if they had heard what he was thinking, over there, as the blue-striped giant python opened its blood-red maw and devoured everyone, Edfried, Edabagrim, and Ed Biguslow acted almost simultaneously, throwing magical cannonballs towards the snake's mouth.
boom!
The magic cannonball exploded in a burst of fire, releasing a large amount of crimson mist.
The unharmed head of the giant python burst out from within, letting out a furious roar to the sky.
"Such weak power, this level of power is simply not going to work, is it?" the dark magic girl watching the battle wondered.
"It's less like a cannonball and more like a stimulant or something." Chase pointed to the python's vertical pupils, which were gradually turning scarlet.
According to the information provided by Edmila, the Thors here are a medical team, so it's not surprising that they have such emergency supplies.
His words soon came true; the giant python, having inhaled a large amount of stimulants, completely lost its mind and frantically rammed into Edgildas.
With the help of his magical combat boots that could increase his speed, Edgildas constantly shifted and dodged, purposefully leading the giant towards a woodland covered with a large number of giant vines.
As for the others, they ran to the highest point of the ruins, concealed by the fog that had been blown up earlier.
Edchas pulled out several cards from his pocket, took out the mechanical parts stored inside, and with Edragas's assistance, quickly assembled a magical cluster cannon that resembled the Spectre six-legged walker Jupiter.
As Edchas manipulated the central control screen, the Magic Cluster Cannon began charging, and its muzzle shone with a dazzling light.
"Finally, we've lured this monster out of the ruins. Now, let's try this!"
Edchas rotated the turret, aiming at the blue-striped python, which, under the influence of stimulants, charged into the dense forest and was tightly bound by vines.
Boom!
A powerful beam of light shot out, precisely striking the seven-inch mark of the constantly writhing blue-patterned giant, unleashing a burst of blazing fire.
Having suffered such a severe blow, the blue-striped python roared a few times in resentment before collapsing to the ground, its breath extinguished.
"Success! A great victory for the fairies!" Ed and Abram cheered.
"It's just that the price is a bit high, wasting so many magic crystals." Edgildas felt a pang of heartache as he watched the magic crystals rapidly dissipate beneath the turret.
"Compared to finding a vast source of magic, this price is already very low," Edgildas said in a deep voice as he returned.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. Are you hurt?"
Ed Biguslow pulled out his medical kit and took out five bottles and jars with a red cross on them.
As for Edchas, he was currently slumped on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear: "Phew, that really scared me to death, I almost died!"
"It's just a big snake, why are you making such a fuss? Stand up right now!"
The sudden shout from behind startled the Edches team, whose nerves had finally begun to relax.
Edragas reacted quickly, turning around abruptly and drawing his magic-powered stun gun from his waist.
"Oh, so it's you, senior."
Upon seeing that the person who came was Chess, the usually oblivious Chess breathed a heavy sigh of relief and put down his weapon.
"Idiot! I'm right here!!" Edches shouted, hiding behind Edgildas at the speed of light.
"Two Chase? I guess I'm just too tired. I'm even hallucinating—" Ed Abba Green patted her chest, put one hand to her forehead, and looked like she had scared herself.
"No! This is not an illusion!" Edgildas's gaze sharpened, and he stared at Chess with a wary expression.
"Uncle Gildarts is right, such a cute girl couldn't possibly be in my imagination!"
Edfried appeared in front of the Dark Magician Girl, took her hand with a smirk, and said, "Beautiful lady, could you give me a chance to buy you a cup of autumn coffee?"
Dark Magician Girl:
Chase:
"..."
You're telling me this is Fried?
And Gildarts is far too composed; he's the first to react in this situation?!
"Hey! Fried, where's your basic manners?!" Adragusas roared.
"I'm already offering to buy him coffee, isn't that polite enough? What's it to you, you bastard Laxus!" Edfried retorted rudely.
After just a few brief exchanges, Chase was certain that the relationship between the two was just as good as that between Esland and the others.
Edgidals slowly stepped forward, pulled Edfried away from his red-hearted expression, and asked in a deep voice, "My friend, can you tell me what's going on here?"
"Why do you have a magical watch crafted by Chase, and this face—"
His eyes were sharp, and he noticed the magic watch on Chess's wrist. He quickly deduced that it was probably given to him by someone from the guild—unless someone from within the guild told him, no outsider would know the purpose of the magic watch!
Therefore, it can be concluded that the man who looks exactly like Chess and the girl in the strange robes are probably not enemies.
Upon hearing this, Ed Chase, Edfried, and the others who were hiding behind him all raised their eyes with curiosity and looked at Chase, whose muscles were even more muscular.
"This is really a headache. Where should I even begin?"
Chase scratched his head in annoyance, then decided to get straight to the point, "As you can see, I am Chase from the other world of Asland. I joined Fairy Tail to stop the kingdom's conspiracy—"
After his explanation, although it seemed somewhat unbelievable, Chess's face was there, and along with the magic watch representing the guild,
Eddildars and the others had no choice but to believe.
"I never expected there to be a parallel world like Esland! Hahaha! Natsu Lucy from another world? That sounds interesting!"
"Damn it! I should have gone back to the guild sooner!"
Having been an adventurous group that had witnessed all sorts of strange phenomena, Eddildars and the others quickly regained their composure and marveled at the wonders of the world.
Compared to their perfectly normal reactions, what bothered Chase more was Edchase, his counterpart.
The guy had his head down and his brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought, and didn't seem particularly shocked by the existence of this other world.
