Fairy Tail Destiny-Chapter 64: Ch : Decision

This was a battle arena resembling the ancient Roman Colosseum, except that it was underground, with the ceiling sealed off.

The arena was illuminated by large light bulbs placed in the four cardinal directions.

At this moment, a brutal and bloody fight was taking place.

Dressed in white, untainted by any dust, six wings gently fluttered behind him, and his right eye's purple hexagram continuously spun, emitting a mysterious glow.

He appeared as noble and divine as an angel, but when one looked down at his feet, they would see nearly a hundred mangled corpses piled up, with blood flowing out, almost forming a small stream.

Among the bodies were various magical beasts and demons.

Surrounding him were close to a hundred more magical beasts and demons, their bodies enveloped with powerful magic.

"What's this monster?"

"We can't win against him!"

The remaining magical beasts and demons, drenched in sweat and trembling all over, stared at Nord, standing in the center of the battlefield, amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, resembling a hellish figure.

Nord scanned the magical beasts and demons coldly.

His right eye's purple hexagram rotated slowly as he softly spoke, "Aren't you coming to attack? Sorry, but in order to save my sister, I have to let you all die."

Upon hearing Nord's words, expressions of terror appeared on the faces of the magical beasts and demons present.

The next moment, Nord's petite body instantly vanished from sight, reappearing behind a massive bear-like magical beast.

A golden beam extended from his fingertip and effortlessly pierced the beast's neck as if slicing through tofu.

With a simple swipe, the entire head of the bear-like creature was severed and fell to the ground.

Then, Nord's body disappeared once again from their sight.

In an instant, he reappeared in front of a giant ape, snapping its neck with a single hand.

He then spun around and, with a swipe of his fingertip, a golden beam pierced the heart of another demon standing nearby.

Then, without even looking back, Nord waved his hand behind him, cleaving a charging magical beast in half.

...

In less than seven minutes, nearly a hundred magical beasts and demons were completely wiped out.

The battlefield was piled high with corpses, and each of the beasts and demons had expressions filled with disbelief and terror in their eyes before they died.

Their magical energy was still slowly flowing, but their eyes had already become hollow and lifeless.

Nord didn't even glance at the pile of bodies.

He simply walked straight into the dark passage, and a few minutes later, arrived at the entrance to Hughes laboratory.

Clap, clap, clap

The sound of applause echoed as Hughes, dressed in gray, turned his gaze from the screen that displayed the battlefield footage to Nord, who had arrived at the door, wearing a devilish smile.

"In less than ten minutes, you killed over two hundred A-rank demons and magical beasts. On average, you took out one every three seconds. Truly, even though your divine power is still less than thirty percent of its potential, you remain a being above all else. Nord Rutherford," Hughes spoke with pure admiration in his voice.

Nord glanced at him. "I just want to know, when can I see Lia?"

Hughes chuckled lightly. "As I told you before, once your divine power level reaches the tier of a Higher God, that is, when it reaches sixty percent of its limit, you can meet Lia Rutherford."

"...How long until my divine power reaches sixty percent?"

"At this rate, probably two years."

"What?!"

For the first time, Nord's usually calm face changed upon hearing Hughes's words.

With a mere motion of his hand, Hughes's collar seemed to be grabbed by an invisible force, yanking him forward until he was right in front of Nord.

"Are you joking? Two years?!"

"Calm down first." Hughes forcefully pried away Nord's divine power from his body and adjusted his collar. "I know you can't accept such a long wait, so... I have a shortcut."

"...What method?"

After a brief silence, despite knowing that Hughes was up to no good, Nord still asked.

"It's simple... Kill people."

"Kill... people?"

"Yes." Hughes's tone was like that of a devil tempting a human. "Kill people, kill a lot of people. The human soul is the best catalyst for refining divine power. I've calculated it—if you kill about two hundred thousand people, you can raise your divine power level to sixty percent, Nord Rutherford."

Nord's pupils shrank instantly as he muttered, "Two hundred thousand people?"

"That's right. I'm sure you're wondering why it must be humans. Couldn't you use other beings, like magical beasts or demons, instead?"

"....."

"Heh, heh, that's impossible, Nord." Hughes's voice was full of certainty.

"Human souls are the most intelligent and pure among all living beings. The souls of demons and magical beasts are too filthy, while creatures without magic have too little intelligence. Only human souls contain the energy capable of refining your divine power. Do you understand? So don't even think about using other creatures as substitutes."

Each word Hughes spoke felt like a heavy hammer pounding into Nord's heart.

Nord clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

"Heh, heh. I know you're a kind-hearted child, so I won't force you. Go back and think it over carefully. When you've made your decision, come find me." Hughes patted Nord's shoulder lightly and whispered, "After all, this concerns the most important person in your life—your dear little sister."

------------------

In the same prison cell, Nord lifted his head and gazed through the small window at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

His pale face was illuminated by its cold light, and within his sky-blue eyes, there was only confusion.

Two choices: kill two hundred thousand people, or not see Lia for two years.

No—anything could happen in two years.

If something happened during that time, then it might not just be two years... it could mean never seeing her again.

"Hughes is clearly forcing me to choose the path of slaughter to accelerate my divine power's growth... What should I do...? What the hell should I do?"

Nord curled up, his chest feeling as if it were being crushed by an unbearable weight.

If it were demons and magical beasts, he could still convince himself that it was just like fighting monsters in a game from his past life.

But killing humans—so many humans—was something entirely different.

On one side was the most important person in his life.

On the other, two hundred thousand innocent lives.

The two choices wrestled in his mind, tearing him apart.

He buried his head between his knees, only his golden hair visible, his body trembling slightly.

After a long while, a bitter smile spread across his lips.

A single tear slid down his cheek as he murmured to himself:

"It doesn't matter if I fall into hell after death... It doesn't matter if I carry the weight of my sins for the rest of my life... As long as I can protect her... let me be damned for eternity. I will protect her, because she is my most important... my only sister."
