"Who is Erza!"
This roar seemed to break through the sky, carrying endless anger and despair.
The hysterical Jellal was like a crazy beast, his eyes bloodshot, staring at Erza in front of him.
Erza was completely stunned, she stood there blankly, unable to believe what she was hearing.
I had rehearsed the scene of meeting Jellal again in my mind countless times, but I never expected it to be like this.
"Jellal..." She whispered this familiar yet unfamiliar name softly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Step by step, I want to get closer to the man I once loved deeply.
However, the vigilant Jellal launched a powerful magic bullet without hesitation, blasting straight towards Erza.
The purple light was as fast as lightning and instantly enveloped Erza.
"Erza!"
People around her screamed in panic, and Natsu and Ichiya were even more anxious, wanting to rush forward to protect her immediately.
Raphael also clenched his fists, ready to help at any time.
At this moment, a burst of thick smoke billowed up, obscuring everyone's sight.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they stared nervously in the direction of the smoke, for fear of seeing a scene that would break their hearts.
"Don't be impulsive! I'm fine!" Suddenly, Erza's firm voice came from the smoke.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the attack they were about to launch.
"Don't come here...don't come here..."
Jellal's voice was full of fear and alertness. He stared at Erza with wide eyes. His body involuntarily flinched back, but there was a trace of indescribable pain and pity in his eyes.
"Then...come here! I'm Erza!"
Facing Jellal's panic, Erza acted unusually calm. She stood straight on the spot with a determined light in her eyes.
The magic bullet just now didn't seem to cause any substantial damage to her. Although she looked a little messy, she was still as powerful as a rainbow.
"Your name is Jellal! You were my fighting partner!"
Erza's tone was calm and powerful, and every word struck Jellal's heart like a heavy hammer.
She held the sword tightly in her hand, as if paying tribute to past friendships.
Then, Erza continued: "However, since you lost your mind, you have attempted to blaspheme the dead souls, hurt our common friends, and plunged the Senate into chaos!"
Erza stared at Jellal and recounted the crimes he had committed, concisely and clearly, but each word was heartbreaking.
At the end of the sentence, her expression suddenly changed dramatically, and her face was full of anger that could not be concealed.
"If you think that just saying 'amnesia' can wash away all these sins, then today I will use this sword to pierce your heart so that you will always remember what you have done!"
Erza raised the sharp blade in her hand and pointed it at Jellal. The tip of the sword shone with a cold light, making people shudder.
"Come here! Stand in front of me!!!"
Her shouts were thunderous, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
At the end, Erza could no longer suppress her inner emotions, her voice exploded like thunder, and she roared straight towards Jellal.
Faced with Erza's sudden outburst, Jellal looked at her in shock, as if he had been hit by an invisible force.
He stared at his hands in disbelief. The familiar but unfamiliar touch made his heart ache.
Then, he covered his head and let out a heartbreaking wail.
"No...I...how could I...hurt my companions...I actually did such a thing! I...what should I do..."
Tears rolled down Jellal's cheeks, mixing with the pain on his face.
Erza on the side was also stunned. She stared blankly at the man in front of her who was in extreme self-blame.
At this moment, she had a little more trust in Jellal's amnesia. Because she had never seen Jellal looking so embarrassed and helpless.
At this moment, a figure appeared next to Erza, it was Hibiki.
He stared angrily at Jellal, his eyes burning with rage, and he made no secret of his hostility and doubts:
"Stop blabbering! Jellal! What on earth do you want to do here?! Not only did you unlock such evil magic without permission, are you also trying to rule the entire world?!"
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Jellal, making the atmosphere at the scene extremely tense.
Lucy and Raphael pulled Natsu back together and gave Hibiki a thumbs up.
You are very brave, young man!
Hearing Hibiki's question, Jellal slowly put down the hand that had been covering his head and turned his head to Nirvana, which was gradually unsealing.
"While I was still sleeping, suddenly a voice came into my mind that wanted to achieve 'nirvana'. At the same time, information about this magic and its location flooded into my mind. !"
Jellal's tone was full of confusion and shock.
He knows very well that 'Nirvana' is an extremely dangerous magic that must not fall into the hands of others.
So, after some careful consideration...
Jellal turned his head sharply, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, and stared at Erza silently for a long time before speaking seriously.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't want to hurt my friends. Although my memory is a little fuzzy, I'm still deeply sorry for the trouble I've caused you!"
Then, he turned his attention to Hibiki again.
"So, I decided to break the seal on Nirvana first, and then destroy it completely!"
Jellal's words were firm and decisive, as if he was declaring his determination to everyone.
"You mean...to destroy it?"
Erza and Hibiki looked at Jellal with wide eyes and disbelief on their faces, and the other companions were also stunned.
Jellal took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"That's right! I have placed a self-disciplined collapse magic circle on Nirvana. Once it is released from the seal, the only thing waiting for it is destruction!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, with unquestionable determination!
After listening to Jellal's words, Hibiki noticed the magic runes on Nirvana, and murmured to himself in shock: "Yes... it's true! He really wants to destroy this Nirvana!"
Everyone looked at Jellal in front of them with complicated eyes.
Suddenly, blood spurted out of Jellal's mouth and he slowly fell down.
"Jellal!"
Erza's heart suddenly tightened and her expression changed drastically. She flew forward without hesitation and hugged Jellal tightly.
At the same time, Wendy broke out of Carla's arms in an instant, as if driven by an invisible force, and rushed towards Jellal like a gust of wind.
Her hands shone with dazzling green light, as if containing endless vitality, trying desperately to save Jellal's life.
Hibiki, who followed closely from the side, stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes and a face full of astonishment, muttering to himself in disbelief.
"He... actually carved the Self-Discipline Collapse Magic Circle on his body!"
This discovery shocked everyone. They never expected that Jellal would take such extreme measures.
Everyone looked at each other with shock and confusion on their faces. Raphael's eyes became extremely complicated. He stared at Jellal, seeming to be trying to understand his motives for doing this.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this desperate determination and courage that Jellal won the love of countless people in his previous life.
"Jellal...why..." Erza burst into tears, heartbroken.
She couldn't accept this fact and didn't understand why Jellal did this. Her voice trembled, filled with pain and confusion.
"Erza... this name makes me feel gentle. It is both gentle and cheerful. It makes me feel very warm..."
Jellal looked at Erza with a smile and reached out his hand to wipe her tears.
"You will definitely hate me, and there is nothing you can do about it, but that hatred will gradually devour your soul and imprison your heart in place..."
Jellal gently stroked Erza's silky smooth cheek, as if he wanted to imprint every detail on her face deeply in his heart.
He slowly moved his hand to his chest, feeling the strong beating of his heart, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and apology.
However, Erza had already burst into tears and could not control herself.
The man in front of her was once her support and belief in her life, and later also her motivation to live, but now he has become so weak.
She was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.
Wendy on the side was filled with despair.
She desperately used healing magic to try to save Jellal's disintegrating body, but all her efforts were in vain.
Seeing Jellal's vitality disappearing little by little, Wendy felt helpless and sad like never before.
In the end, she had to painfully admit that her magic was of no help to Jellal.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I can't go to your side, I can't stand in front of you..."
"Free yourself from your hatred for me! Let me... take away your hatred and your sadness..."
"You are already...free!"
Jellal's hand trembled slightly, as if he had used all his strength to lift it from his chest with difficulty.
His eyes were filled with endless nostalgia and reluctance.
He originally wanted to gently touch Erza's silky hair again, but in the end he was unable to do so and his arm dropped heavily, hitting the ground with a dull sound. .
At the same time, Nirvana in the rear was quietly falling apart. Each fragment shone with a faint light, like bright stars falling from the night sky.
These tiny starlights gradually dispersed, like a colorful meteor shower, decorating the entire space into a dreamlike and beautiful place!
"Jellal!!!"
