Chapter 44 

Tower of Heaven

Shanks Pov 

Precht left sooner than I expected. He had actually come to analyze the Rune Magic surrounding the Tower of Heaven. 

He was quite different from the antagonist I knew from the Anime. He was the last antagonist I knew since after his defeat I stopped watching the Anime. 

'I do regret it a bit.' 

Precht only talked about the current situation of the Guild and what he was doing which he summed up as just researching different types of ancient and current Magics.

Sigh.

It is to be expected. It's not like I knew him personally.

Anyways, Let's start this-

I looked at the enormous tower Infront of me. The so-called R-system. It was work of art in a sense. It was hidden and well protected.

But the Runes protecting it was nothing for me. I smiled a bit.

'Rune Magic sure is handy.' 

So, I got to work.

I quickly analyzed the work behind the Magic and in a second hundreds of calculations crossed my mind. This was the nature of Rune Magic. 

I had to calculate and calculate and... calculate. 

Soon an equation formed in my mind and thus the solution was here. 

BAAM

"Analysis complete." I said out loud and the barrier broke down in front of my very eyes. 

I jumped from my boat using the extent of my physical prowess. 

Soon I was in the sky, and I willed my Magic. My destruction and punched through the very wall of Tower of Heaven. 

From my observation Haki I could sense tens and twenties of Mages approaching me at a rather rapid pace, but it was for naught. 

WHOOSH

I flared my Conquerors Haki without care as I entered the fabled Tower, and the consequences was there. 

Not a single soul was left standing. 

Except a girl with a prominent scarlet hair and I realized who it was. 

Erza!

But she too became unconscious just a second later. 

And just then. I felt a rather dark presence approaching me. My Haki was polished enough that I could see a silhouette. 

And just as I thought. It was Jellal Fernandes. 

And from behind I could sense other rather strong Mages approaching. 

So, I rushed towards where he was. 

I pulled my saber.

Third Person Pov

Jellal walked. He was hearing voices. Voices of the man who called himself Zeref. 

Jellal was initially skeptical but with thorough convincing he slowly found himself believing that the voice was indeed Zeref. 

Zeref had promised him. Promised that he would let Jellal return to past and change his fate as well as of several others if the R-system was convinced. 

And... Jellal was living in that very delusion. Not knowing what was right and what was wrong and just then a huge presence appeared in the Tower. 

And everything became hell. He was walking there to find his friends and to hopefully rescue them. 

Then he felt it again. Enormous amount of Magic Power emitting from a figure. Red hair. Three diagonal scars. Then-

The figure blurred. His saber drawn and he- rushed at unimaginable speed. 

Jellal froze as the saber was drawn closer. Jellal realized he was the prey and he could not do anything about it.
