"My name is Sera..."
Sera stood here, one arm wrapped around the elbow of her other hand.
[He lowered his head and spoke softly.]
"Every demon has a code name, and mine is Liangyuetian, Liangyuetian Sera."
"A demon...?"
[Honatsu murmured softly.]
But, upon hearing this, Sera immediately raised her head.
"Although I am a demon, I have never harmed a single person so far!"
"On the contrary... on the contrary, ever since I became conscious, I have been hunted down by you humans. You humans have always wanted my life, to exchange my head for a bounty..."
"I didn't do that."
Listening to the incessant muttering, Black Natsu smirked and clarified a fact.
"I know, that's why I chose to believe you, maybe..."
As she spoke, Sera discreetly raised her eyes and glanced at Black Natsu in front of her.
"You're different from those humans, you..."
"Let's avoid the flattery and talk about something else, like that book."
[Hennaz's gaze fell upon the book tucked inside Sera's clothes.]
Upon hearing this, Sera also sighed softly.
But then I remembered our previous agreement.
Sera had no choice but to reach out and slowly pull the book out of her bosom.
[Something I have to mention here.]
[Sera is truly the most magnificent person Black Natsu has ever seen.]
Can you believe that simply pulling a book out of the front of your shirt can cause a jolt?
That's quite an exaggeration!
[It is even more magnificent than Eileen.]
As for the other women, such as Erza and Mirajane, they are still buds, still developing.
[And there's Mebius...]
Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore.
Soon, ancient-looking books appeared before Henna.
"This is the Book of Ending..."
"What does it do? Or rather... what does it record?"
"Hennaz asked."
"Have you ever heard of... the demon within the Book of Zeref?"
"Sera asked."
"You've heard of the demons created by Zeref. That's why Zeref is known as the most vicious mage in history, right?"
Sera nodded slightly: "Yes, and the reason it's called the Book of Zeref is actually because our life forms exist in the form of books."
"This book, too, carries a demon, a demon named END... the strongest demon!"
"The strongest demon?" Like everyone else, Black Natsu's expression was one of surprise upon hearing this news.
But it quickly returned to normal.
[His gaze remained fixed on the book: "So, this is an extremely dangerous thing, huh?"]
Upon hearing this, Sera immediately shook her head.
"No, on the contrary, the Book of End is not dangerous; it is currently sealed."
"As for how to lift the lockdown... I don't know either."
"Then why are you carrying this book?" Henaz asked again.
"I don't know..." Sera shook her head.
"This book has been with me since I became conscious. It is our strongest force to defeat Zeref. Therefore, I need to take this book to find Zeref and then destroy him!"
"Destroy Zeref?" The scene of his previous encounter with Zeref flashed through Hanaz's mind once more.
At that time, Zeref was also muttering strange things like "destroy myself" and "kill myself."
[Considering everything Sera said...]
"So Zeref is a madman who seeks death?"
Sera's expression was also full of confusion.
"I don't know, I really don't know. All I know is that Zeref is the creator of us demons, and the purpose of creating us is to kill Zeref."
Seeing this, Black Natsu couldn't help but sigh.
[Then he reached out towards Sela.]
"Let me see it."
【"oh."】
Since we've already said so much, there's no harm in showing it to him, right?
With this in mind, Sera handed the book she was holding to Henna.
[Just got it.]
An ancient atmosphere immediately washes over you; the books, having wandered for over three hundred years, naturally bear the marks of time.
[Touching the slightly uneven surface of the book cover.]
[Honatsu could clearly feel... his body was restless!]
[Thump thump... thump thump...]
It's here again! That eerie feeling is back!
[Honatsu's gaze, which had been fixed on the book, was gradually replaced by horror!]
He closed his eyes tightly and carefully sensed it again.
He could clearly feel his blood beginning to boil at that moment.
This feeling was completely different from when I touched Mirajane's hand before!
This time, the intensity was countless times greater than any previous encounter with demons!
[This is in connection with my previous conversation with Jelf.]
He could hardly believe his own guess!
[I... definitely have some kind of connection with Zeref.]
[It's even possible that I have some unknown connection with demons...]
Otherwise, what is this resonance all about?
"But... how could such a thing be possible?!"
[Henazu couldn't believe it.]
Outside the sky.
Seeing the stiff-faced Black Natsu, countless people were also bewildered.
Natsu: "By the way, what was I doing in that other world?"
Gray: "Eyes tightly closed? Are you asleep?"
Sting: "Come on, how did you even come up with that possibility? It's obviously impossible!"
Rogue: "I think Mr. Hanaz seems to be sensing something..."
"But... I can't quite put my finger on it."
In a nameless place.
Jelf looked tense.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Has Natsu from that world resonated with END to this extent?"
"The seed of demons has already taken root and sprouted during this period of time. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!"
Jelf looked up at the sky and let out a sigh for no apparent reason.
In the scene, Sera stands still, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes with her small hands, looking somewhat conflicted.
Like a primary school student who has made a mistake, he was hesitant to look at Hakuna's expression.
