"Oh, Plue, don't call me Master, it's so embarrassing." The blonde girl scrambled out of the hole her Celestial Spirit had dug.
However, before she could finish her sentence, her gaze inadvertently met that of another blonde girl in the cell.
Lucy Heartfilia and Lucy Ashley.
The two identical girls looked at each other.
"You are..."
"Could it be..."
"Edolucy?"
"Aslucy?"
The two Lucys spoke in unison, and then the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Lucy looked at Lucy No. 2, not expecting to meet her Edolas counterpart so soon. But why did she feel a little awkward seeing the other's tomboyish aura? Lucy No. 2 looked at her counterpart, thinking how fragile the other herself looked, feeling like one punch from her would make the other cry for a long time... "Now is not the time to be spacing out."
It wasn't until Erza's cold voice interrupted them that the inexplicable silence between the two Lucys finally ended.
Lucy looked into the cell at the Erza who was clearly not the one she knew. "Um, I'll find a way to get you out right away."
Erza No. 2's calmness was consistent with the Erza Lucy remembered. She showed no joy, and instead asked coldly, "As a visitor from Aslant, how did you, unfamiliar with this place, find your way here?"
"It was me."
A figure emerged from the hole, greeting the two in the cell with a rather dashing tone, "It's been a while, Guild Master Lucy, and Captain Erza."
Erza looked at the man who looked identical to Gajeel, and suddenly realized, "It's you. Yes, only your intelligence network could have found the blueprints for the Black Prison, Underground Reporter Gajeel."
"To hear praise from you, I am truly flattered, especially since you used to chase after me, a reporter who exposed King Faust's evil deeds, with a sword."
Gajeel No. 2, dressed in a suit and glasses, tugged at his tie, then took off his hat and flicked off some dust. He turned to look at the man whose limbs were bound by chains. "Actually, we came to rescue someone else, or rather... another me."
Gajeel naturally saw his counterpart from this world. "Hehe, what tasteful attire, and so well-mannered and learned. Exactly like me, the great one."
Gajeel No. 2 pushed up his glasses. "Your wildness and coolness are also exactly like mine."
"By the way, I have quite a bit of research into music, especially singing and instruments."
"Oh, in that regard, we are also exactly alike. Everyone who has heard my wonderful music has nothing but praise."
...
Watching the two Gajeels hit it off and shamelessly flatter each other, Lucy shook her head helplessly.
When she first arrived in Edolas, she happened to land near the capital and unluckily ran into a patrol of soldiers, who seemed to have mistaken her for the other Lucy, and she was chased everywhere.
Fortunately, even in Edolas, Celestial Spirits could still answer her summons, and under the giant axe of the hardworking Taurus, the pursuers were easily dealt with.
Just as Lucy didn't know what to do next, Gajeel No. 2 found her and informed her that Gajeel had been defeated and captured.
So Gajeel No. 2 led the way, and with virgo's earth magic clearing a path, the two successfully entered the Black Prison from underground.
Lucy closed virgo's gate and summoned the Celestial Spirit Taurus again. As soon as the perverted bull saw three beautiful women, he immediately became energized and cleaved half the cell with one swing of his axe.
"Taurus, you're too strong, what if we get discovered..."
Lucy's jinx almost instantly took effect. The moment her words fell, the roar of machinery approached from afar.
A giant three-meter-tall figure appeared at the Black Prison's gate.
It was a magic-powered mechanical dragon, King Faust's former ace, the forbidden war weapon "dragon slayer armor."
Due to its massive size making it inconvenient to carry, the need for a large amount of magic power to activate it, and the fact that it was no match for Hopeless even when activated, Faust abandoned the "dragon slayer armor" when he fled due to a combination of these factors.
Hopeless, who got it cheap, used despair energy to power the "dragon slayer armor," allowing it to move without an internal operator.
Looking at the giant mechanical dragon attracted by the earlier commotion, Lucy wanted to cry without tears. She wished she hadn't summoned that perverted bull, Carlos.
Taurus was also a bit embarrassed. He just wanted to show off in front of the beautiful women, but instead of making an impression, he caused trouble.
But there's still a chance to show off!
"Moo!"
Taurus snorted two streams of hot air from his nostrils and swung his giant axe at the dragon slayer armor.
Seeing Lucy eager to fight, Erza No. 2 held her back. "The dragon slayer armor is immune to magic. Only a Dragon Slayer Mage can fight it."
Dragon Slayer Mage?
Isn't there one right here?
Lucy subconsciously looked at Gajeel not far away. Although he had been rescued from the chains by Gajeel No. 2, he seemed somewhat weak due to depleted magic power.
"Eat this quickly!"
Lucy pulled out the magic potion given by Mystogan. "This magic potion will allow you to recover your magic power normally in this world."
Gajeel didn't hesitate, swallowing the small pill Lucy threw to him. Then he turned and bit into the iron chain that had just bound him.
Tastes like chicken, crunchy!
Under the shocked gaze of the three Edolas people, Gajeel devoured the iron chain. For a Dragon Slayer Mage, normal magic power recovery naturally comes from eating things of the same attribute.
Just then, Taurus's figure vanished into starlight under the dragon slayer armor's magic cannon.
After all, it was a forbidden weapon of war. A Celestial Spirit limited by magic power and unable to exert its true strength, especially Taurus who only fights in close combat, naturally couldn't last long.
"Let me do it!"
The recovered Gajeel roared, leaping past Erza No. 2, who had retrieved her Magic Spear. His figure charged directly at the giant dragon slayer armor, with no superfluous movements, only a seamless intake and expulsion of magic power.
A spiraling silver breath, empowered by the furious Dragon Force, roared forth from the Magic Circle. This was one of Gajeel's few pure magic attacks, and also a signature skill of a Dragon Slayer Mage.
Iron Dragon's — Roar!
