Here was the mountain range called Mt. Zonia.
The perennial wind and snow caused the snow here to be exceptionally deep.
Since there had once been rumors that Despair Dragon Acnologia had appeared here.
This place had been listed as a forbidden area, and few people would visit this place.
But at this moment, the place that should have been untouched, welcomed the arrival of three women.
One of the Spriggan 12 - Scarlet Despair - Irene!
As well as Juliet and Heine, who also belonged to Irene's squad.
"Strange, the captured people seem to have been rescued!" Juliet stood at the cliff, and murmured as she watched what was happening on the battlefield in front.
"What should we do? Irene-sama." Heine folded her arms.
And her eyes looked at Irene behind her.
"There won't be any problems if Bloodman and Larcade are there." Irene tilted her head slightly and responded.
Just as she was about to turn her head and continue to appreciate the scenery elsewhere.
The thought transmission that came from her mind made her stunned.
"August-sama? What's going on that would actually make you contact me on your own?"
While saying that, Irene came to a rock, and sat down.
"We're encountering a lot of trouble here right now, and we need your help."
August's old voice came from her mind again.
"A lot of trouble? Are you referring to?" Irene frowned slightly.
One had to know that that was August.
His strength could even be said to be a monster that was stronger than herself.
Could there actually be something in this world that August would find troublesome?
Irene couldn't imagine it.
"Acnologia!" August answered this question.
"And a man who can fight Acnologia, Fairy Tail's Finn!"
Irene's frown deepened even more.
If it was Acnologia, Irene could understand.
After all, it was impossible for him to not participate in such a thing.
But the Fairy Tail member who could rival Acnologia made it difficult for Irene to believe.
"Rival Acnologia? You're not joking, right? Can humans achieve such a level?"
"It's absolutely true!" August's voice was extremely certain!
"So I need your help to transfer these two guys to a distant place, not only so that no one can disturb His Majesty's plan."
"But also so that Jacob and I can successfully break away from this battlefield!"
"I understand what you mean." Irene nodded slightly.
"But I have to remind you, because the distance is too far, I can't guarantee that I can send them to a distant place."
"It doesn't matter, we can only gamble now."
August said, "Acnologia or Finn, no matter who obtains the final victory, it's not good news for us!"
"After all, both of them are our enemies."
Listening to the thought transmission in her mind, Irene reached out and took the magic staff that was placed on the side, and slowly stood up.
"Oh right, try to teleport His Majesty to the place that's closest to Fairy Tail."
August spoke again, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Irene smiled slightly: "Of course I know these things, and that's exactly what I plan to do."
Seeming to have heard Irene's words of agreement.
The thought transmission in her mind completely subsided.
Irene helplessly shook her head: "It seems that His Majesty's strategy game is about to come to an end."
Moving her steps, she came to the middle position.
Irene raised the magic staff in her hand and gently touched the ground.
Thud…
Although the sound was very small, it seemed like it could be transmitted to the horizon.
From under Irene's feet, the earth began to gradually be eroded by scarlet red.
And it constantly spread outwards.
"Acnologia and the human who can rival him... their appearance has indeed exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Since the chessboard of the game is about to be destroyed, then the real hell is also about to open..."
"We will ultimately achieve victory in the war!"
Irene's smile gradually raised, and scarlet despair will also bring true despair to humanity!
————————
On the northern battlefield not far from Irene.
Violent explosions were constantly ringing out.
Each time the terrifying impact erupted, it could bring countless people flying into the sky.
Listening to the constantly transmitted screams.
Sting, who had just been rescued by Mirajane and the others, painfully sat on the ground.
And he was gripping his short golden hair tightly with both hands.
His entire body was trembling.
Rogue and Rufus and the others on the side were also all silent.
Although their people had been rescued,
Their souls seemed to still be imprisoned by the self-blame of being defeated.
"I said, how long are you planning to be wallowing for?!"
A roar came from not far away.
Gajeel walked towards the people from Sabertooth with an intimidating air.
"It's all my fault... I'm so useless even though I'm the guild master..."
Sting still lowered his head, and although he covered his cheeks with both hands.
Gajeel could still see some moisture seeping out from the gaps between his hands.
Those were tears.
Those were tears of unwillingness and self-blame.
Gajeel's face became even more gloomy.
He suddenly opened Sting's hands that were covering his cheeks, and grabbed him and made him look at himself.
"Damn it, are you just giving up like this?!"
"Do you only have remorse?!"
"Do you only have tears?!"
The huge voice even made the few people who wanted to come and mediate freeze in place.
"But... the other side has three monsters... I..."
"What about three?" Gajeel slowly opened his mouth.
And his eyes glanced at the middle of the battlefield, and the companions who were constantly shuttling through the enemies: "We have all monsters on our side!"
"And you! What you should be doing most right now, isn't sitting here and crying like a child."
"But taking on your responsibility as the guild master! Leading everyone to fight together, that's what you should be doing!"
Facing Gajeel's roar, Sting was stunned in place.
Lowering his head slightly, Sting murmured softly: "I'm sorry..."
He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I really am useless ah, but..."
He raised his head, and looked straight at Gajeel's eyes: "But I won't be confused anymore!"
Looking at such a Sting, Gajeel's originally ferocious face, transformed into his signature smile: "Gih hee, resolution isn't something you say, but something you do."
He loosened his grip on Sting's collar.
And he walked towards the direction of the battlefield, and waved his hand with his back to Sting: "I'll be waiting for you on the battlefield!"
"Yeah!" Sting nodded heavily.
And he tore off his tattered shirt, and Sting suddenly clenched his fists, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone who can still move, follow me!"
"The tiger is still hungry!!"
"Ooooh!!"
