Fairy Tail’s Strongest - Chapter 105 The Truth
Adrian slept on the couch that night….. and the next few nights after that as they were constantly hounded by fans, mostly fangirls which just seemed to piss Mira off. Luckily there wasn’t an attack on their home as Adrian’s title was something that many people agreed, that he had earned
Adrian was currently standing in Makarov’s office with Natsu who seemed to be confused as to what he was doing with Adrian and ‘gramps’. Adrian stared at the floor with a serious look on his face while Makarov merely had a curious look as he watched Adrian, who sighed and then sat down on a chair
Adrian was about to speak when he noticed multiple signatures outside of the door, which were heading towards the door in order to listen in to the conversation. Adrian normally wouldn’t care that much but seeing as this wasn’t something that should be told to everyone…. at least not yet, he activated a seal which he’d placed earlier, to prevent any sound from leaving the room
“I think it would be best if you both sit down for what I’m about to tell you” Adrian said with a solemn look on his face, making Natsu and their guild master sit down opposite him, and took on serious looks of their own, as Adrian was only this serious when something was wrong
“Now before we get started, Natsu I need you to stay calm for this okay?” Adrian said to Natsu who stared at him for a few seconds before he nodded slowly. “Now, sigh… The reason why I wanted to speak to the both of you was because I’ve found out something very important. You both know that Zeref had created books, which held lots of powers within. You also know that Tartaros were trying to revive one of those books, to bring back Zeref. They also spoke about another book…. the book of E.N.D” Adrian spoke
Makarov who had been listening intently then said “Yes Natsu and the other told me that their goal was to bring back Zeref, but you said that Zeref was in the Alvarez Empire”. “I did, Tartaros was planning on reviving someone who cannot be killed” He said dropping a bomb on them
“What do you mean he can’t be killed!” Natsu shouted, but quickly shut up from the death glare that Adrian was giving him. “It’s exactly as I’ve said, Zeref is an immortal being, however its not quite that simple as it is dark magic which had given him his immortality. That dark magic is something that even he cannot control and had given him some…. negative effects”
“What do you mean by that Adrian?” Makarov asked completely interested. “His immortality take away the life force of others. Humans, animals, creatures, even plants. It’s something that he himself cannot control, and will basically just suck up the life force of anything close enough” He said causing Natsu and Makarov eyes to widen
“How…. how are we supposed to fight someone like him” Natsu said in a low voice. “Fortunately, Zeref himself wants someone to fight him…. someone to kill him…. and he had created a demon which can”
Makarov sat there for a few moments before he realized just who or what can “E.N.D…” Makarov said to Adrian who just nodded. “Now, here’s where things get complicated….. E.N.D is Zeref’s little brother who he revived into a demon” He said dropping another bomb on the pair
“WHAT WHY!? Natsu shouted. As Natsu was someone who greatly valued family over everything, and was really angry at Zeref for doing that to his little brother, and swore that he’d kick his ass the next time he sees him, already forgetting about the issue of his immortality to deal with
“E.N.D is a very complicated case. You see he’s not like the other demons. He’s lived his life with other human beings and has a heart” Adrian said slowly. Makarov was confused as to why Adrian’s voice was getting lower and lower with every word, until he began to put it together, bit by bit
“Natsu, what was that form that Mard Geer used?” Adrian asked Natsu who began to calm down. “Oh uh, I think he called it his Etherious form” Natsu said getting a nod from Adrian. Makarov merely closed his eyes as a tear fell down his cheeks as he realised what Adrian was going to say. Although he finally knew, he didn’t want to believe it
“Natsu what is your full name?” Adrian said to Natsu who was just plain confused
“Natsu Dragneel…!” he answered, and the truth hit him like a cannon ball to the face. “Natsu….Dragneel… Etherious Natsu Dragneel” Natsu spoke with dead voice before he stood up and left the room, causing everyone who had their ears superglued to the door, trying to hear what was going on fell to the ground and just watched as Natsu just walked past them, completely ignoring them
Gray who stood up called out his name, but didn’t get a response. Erza and Lucy merely smiled sheepishly at Makarov and Adrian who walked out, but stopped seeing their serious looks
Today history was changed. The final and strongest demon had been revealed to be a young Natsu Dragneel. There was no telling what would happen next
