Fairy Tail: I Can Hear Everything With My Unique Skill

42: Tokinada screams in pain

There was silence before Tokinada began to laugh like a villain. "Hahaha, impressive. Your analysis is accurate. Yes, I faked my own death and hid inside this very temple. "

Gildarts was shocked, then a little angry at being tricked and realizing the deeper truth. This guy watched while his fellow believers were being killed.

"But why did you go to such extreme lengths to fake your own death?" And most importantly, how the hell did you become an advanced undead without losing your memories? " Akira asked. He couldn't understand this.

"Well, where should I begin?" asked Tokinada. Tokinada paused dramatically and spoke.

" Oh yes, the reason why I faked my death is because I understood a very cruel truth. And that is why I cannot accompany my dear Lady Ophiuchus forever due to my limited lifespan.

I tried to extend my lifespan, but then I realized that I was really not suited for that. The best I could do was survive on Lady Ophiuchus's magic, which allowed me to live twice as much as a normal human. That is why I needed someone who is an expert.

And after looking around for decades, I finally came across one young man. He was a Zeref worshiper and an excellent scientist.

Seeing how dedicated he is to his art, I finally saw the light through the dark tunnel.

First I made some preparations to fake my death. Then I lured in that young man and did all the preparation in order for him to become the head priest.

After that, I only did some other preparations, as that young man did what I expected him to do. He brainwashed all the villagers and used them for his experiments.

And after years, he finally managed to invent a brilliant way for me to gain eternal life and be with my beloved lord Ophiuchus at the same time.

After that, I went to the capital and tipped off some retired adventurers to finish him off so that I could finally be with my beloved lady Ophiuchus. " Tokinada appeared to be reminiscing about an exciting event.

' As I expected, this guy is an obsessed creep, ' Akira thought with a grim face. Although he expected this, he still underestimated how obsessed he was with Ophiuchus. His level of obsession is far worse than any pink-haired girl could ever do.

"Gildarts, go all out; don't worry about me, " Akira whispered as he looked at Gildarts seriously.

Gildarts nodded his head. No matter what, a guy like that is certainly not good for this world. And besides, they are here for the Celestial Key, which is most likely the key of Ophiuchus. So no matter what, their clash is inevitable.

Getting Gildart's confirmation, Akira activated his new illusion technique, Kyouka Suigetsu, to hide Gildart's presence.

Then, gesturing to Gildarts to get ready, Akira asked, " So now that you have become an undead, you should have lost your ability to use Celestial Spirit magic, right? After all, celestial spirits don't form any contracts with any races other than humans. "

What do you know, brat? Lady Ophiuchus is simply dismissing me for not upholding the religion I have dedicated to her. My contract with her wouldn't be severed just because of this. I am her most beloved believer, " Tokinada said with anger. He was in full denial of this truth.

"Oh, really? Why don't you try to summon your Ophiuchus to prove me wrong? " Akira said, provoking Tokinada even further.

"Why, you little brat, how dare you ask me to bother Lady Ophiuchus for such a small matter. You must be punished for this sin. " As his patience reached its limit, Tokinada uttered these words. He then began to take a deep breath and whistled.
