Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

He grew up in dire and terrible circumstances.

He was once identified as the mastermind behind a mass escape, which resulted in him losing sight in his right eye.

Later, during the rebellion, he awakened magic and successfully gained his freedom.

However, he was betrayed by Gerald and eventually escaped alone.

It also incorporates Fairy Tail elements and is equipped with prosthetic eyes.

Until today.

Looking at the series of documents laid out in front of me.

Eileen understood everything.

Erza...

It's my own child!

Yes, this is a past that caused Eileen immense grief.

More than four hundred years ago, Eileen in this world was forced into an arranged marriage.

She eventually became pregnant after the war was won.

However, due to his own dragon transformation as a Dragon Slayer Mage.

He was despised by the general of the neighboring country, who regarded him as a monster like Acnologia.

He was imprisoned for three years.

It also tormented Eileen for three years.

During those three years, Eileen cast a spell on her unborn child, forcibly preventing its birth in the prison.

This very action led even the general of the neighboring country to believe that...

That wasn't a child at all; it was a monster.

They wanted to forcibly cut open Eileen's abdomen and kill the monster.

Eileen could no longer bear this despair.

So he stopped suppressing his dragon transformation and completely transformed into a giant dragon, destroying the general.

They destroyed the palace and flew into a remote forest.

This flight lasted for four hundred years.

For four hundred years, Eileen, who had been transformed into a dragon, could never return to her normal human form.

Four hundred years later, he met Zeref.

Zeref, a magical genius, easily restored Irene to her human form.

However, this is only a physical and visual restoration; in essence, Eileen is still a dragon.

This outcome was unacceptable to Eileen.

She longed to become human again, and on the verge of madness, she pinned her hopes on the child in her womb.

She wanted to use enchantment to completely attach her personality to the newborn child, so that Eileen would successfully become human.

And so, the child was born.

But perhaps out of maternal instinct, Eileen ultimately couldn't bring herself to harm the newborn child.

To prevent myself from having those thoughts.

Eileen ultimately decided to abandon the child.

And the place where it was abandoned... was the village of Rozma.

And the child's name was Erza.

It is obvious that Erza Scarlet is her own child.

When Eileen learned of all this, she fell silent.

Your own child?

Irene didn't know how to face Erza.

Looking at the various hardships listed on her resume, Eileen felt that it was her fault.

If I hadn't abandoned her...would Erza have had a wonderful childhood?

If it weren't for me, would Erza be able to live like a normal child?

There are no ifs in the world.

Without a doubt, Irene has wronged Erza.

Now, I have truly become human again, and all my worries have been completely resolved.

However, this only intensified his guilt towards Erza.

At this moment, Eileen didn't even know how to face Erza.

Therefore, even now, Eileen doesn't have the courage to tell everyone all this.

"Sigh... what kind of mess is this?" Eileen sat alone in the room.

His gaze was fixed on the sky, lost in thought.

Erza will certainly not appear in the Sky Curtain anymore.

Because, in the Dark World, Erza wasn't even born.

If things were like the Black World, maybe I wouldn't be so conflicted right now.

However, sometimes things just take a dramatic turn.

The moment Eileen glanced at the sky unintentionally!

The pupils suddenly contracted!

The mouth involuntarily opened wide.

She saw... a fleeting crimson figure in the sky.

"That is……"

[In the scene depicted on the celestial backdrop.]

Henna was walking alone on a busy street.

The surrounding noise seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

He kept looking at the map in his hand as he moved through the crowd.

Suddenly, a girl clad in armor with flowing crimson hair brushed past Black Natsu.

Lucy: "Wait! Look! That figure from behind!"

Mirajane: "Crimson hair, and that armor she's always wearing? That's... Erza??"

Erza: "Huh? I've finally shown up?"

Gray: "Doesn't that prove that Erza has already escaped from the Tower of Paradise? Then why doesn't she join Fairy Tail?"

Gajeel: "Who knows? Maybe Erza over there joined the Kingdom's army, just like she did in Edolas."

Edras.

Yes, in another parallel world, Erza's counterpart, Erza Nightwock, did not join Fairy Tail.

Instead, he joined the Kingdom's army and became an enemy of Fairy Tail.

They hunt fairies all over the world.

Gajeel's conjecture prompted everyone present to nod in agreement.

However, Eileen on the other side was getting restless.

"Erza??!!"

Irene, who had just been thinking about Erza, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

She had already stood up from her seat.

His gaze was fixed intently on the sky.

An expression of disbelief filled his eyes.

"How...how is this possible?!"

……

within the screen.

[Henazu clearly didn't notice the figure that had just brushed past him.]

Looking at the map, he quickly left the town.

They boarded a carriage and began their journey towards their destination: a dark guild hidden in the desert not far from the town.

[Mission Objective: Dark Guild - Black Shark Vortex]
