-At Eclipse Ophiuchus’s World-

“Rest up, Y/n. Leave things to us now…”

Natsu placed the dragon slayer in a hidden area where Eclipse Ophiuchus can’t see him with the help of Wendy. Somewhere near them. He’s a big guy that needs two to carry him. They faced the serpent once again.

“Twinkling constellations, I shall bring your wish to fruition. Freedom is a hand,” Eclipse Ophiuchus hymns Liberum.

“That lowdown snake lady is ignorin’ us!” Natsu growls. After saying that, the serpent eyed them. “I speak too soo–”

Before he finishes his sentence, the serpent fires them with an intense beam. They quickly dodge the attack.

“Are you frightened, human?” Eclipse Ophiuchus smirks down at them. The serpent then leans down to them as she sticks her long tongue. “You’re tiny as an ant, human.”

“You’re freaking huge!” Natsu said. The Serpent didn’t say anymore and open her mouth, ready to blast a beam at the fire dragon slayer. Salamander didn’t budge and was ready to cast a spell, knowing that his attack will not do anything to Eclipse Ophiuchus’s attack.

“Natsu!”

“Natsu-san!”

As the beam blasted at Natsu, a shiny steel sword blocks the attack. It successfully deflected the attack. It causes bright light coming from the attack and the sword. Shortly, the light disappeared. Wizards saw that it was Arcadius who block the attack.

“Thanks!” Natsu thanked.

“Watch out for the serpent. Don’t let your guard down,” Arcadius scold.

“Natsu-san!” Natsu and the other turn to the person who called the pink-haired’s name, Princess Hisui.

“Princess Hisui!” Wendy called.

“Princess, this is Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer Celestial Spirit,” Arcadius informed.

“I didn’t imagine she’d be this big,” The Princess mumbles as she stares at the Serpent.

“Princess Hisui?” Eclipse Ophiuchus smirks at the royalty member. “No matter who shows up, no one can stop Liberum.”

Omnia… Magna… Stella… Rex Prae…

The Serpent chants the same words again. “The struggling of you humans has accomplished our desire.”

“Those words, ’Omnia… Magna… Stella… Rex Prae…’” The Princess repeats the chant. “’It is all for you, my king.’”

“Oh~ You understand what I’m saying?” Eclipse Ophiuchus said, not surprised at all.

“This ‘king’ is the Celestial Spirit King, isn’t it?” The Princess questioned. The wizards stare at the Serpent in shock.

“This series of events isn’t about the Celestial Spirits’ genuine wish,” The Princess Hisui paused. “The Celestial Spirit King planned all this, didn’t he?”

“Impressive, Princess,” Eclipse Ophiuchus praises how the Princess manages to figure everything out.

“If that’s the case, there’s only one thing to do,” Natsu grinned as he ignite his fist. “If we kick the King’s ass, that'll all be over!”
