Fairy Tail: Eyes of Time

"Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave. How about playing one more round?"

Charlotte paused as he was about to leave, and looked at the person who called him in surprise. He didn't expect that after he won 18 games in a row, there would still be someone who wanted to bet with him. Didn't this person see that the people who had bet with him before now looked at him as if he were a plague god and stayed away from him?

Charlotte looked at this person. He was a young boy who looked very immature. He was shuffling the deck of cards in his hands in a fancy way. Swish, swish, swish!!

The boy's shuffling action suddenly stopped, and then his fingers moved, and the cards in his hand flew out quickly and were neatly spread on the gambling table. He looked at Charlotte with a smile,"How about it?"

Charlotte chuckled and sat back in his seat.

"If someone offers money, there is no reason to refuse it."

The young man shook his head when he heard it,"Money? We don't need money as our chips this time, how about a different one! ?"

"Oh?" Charlotte said with interest,"What are you going to bet on?"

The boy looked at Charlotte, his eyes flashed, and whispered,"Why not——"

"How about betting your life? ?"

Darkness in an instant!

Whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, before anyone present could react to what he meant by betting their life, their eyes went dark and they could not see anything clearly.

"What happened? Why is it dark?"

"Is the light in the casino broken?"

"What the hell! I've won!"

It's not just this place, the whole Anima Casino is like this. In the darkness, all kinds of panic and commotion sounded from all over the casino.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a while, and the casino was restored to light.

""Charlotte, I'm so scared! You must protect me!"

Habby grabbed Charlotte's clothes with his two cat paws, and pressed his whole cat face on Charlotte with a frightened expression.

After the light in the casino was restored, he carefully raised his head, but when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his two cat eyes suddenly bulged and he exclaimed,"Charlotte, look, everyone is gone."

"Hobby, no need to do that, I can see clearly....."

Charlotte was helpless with the startled harpy. He casually comforted the timid cat and turned his eyes to the side.

Only the young boy was left standing by the empty gambling table.

"As expected, this is the Red Lotus Charlotte that Jellal specifically emphasized. As expected, my magic has no effect on you. However, this cat actually avoided my magic, which is a bit strange......"

The young boy held two blank playing cards in his hand. He looked at Charlotte with regret in his tone, and then threw the two blank playing cards to the ground.

In addition to the two playing cards he just threw, there were many playing cards scattered everywhere. However, unlike the two blank playing cards, these playing cards all showed a person's pattern on the cards, and it was a lively person's pattern. There were even sounds coming out of them.

"What’s going on?"

"Let me out now!"

"Someone come and save me!"

Listening to the cries for help coming from the playing cards, Habby shouted in surprise,"Charlotte, all the people in the casino have been put into the playing cards!!"

"Hobby, I told you I can see...."

Charlotte said helplessly again. Upon hearing this, Habib immediately covered his mouth with his two cat paws and used his eyes to signal that he would be quiet.

"Gerald?...."

Clearly catching the name that the young boy had just mentioned, a hint of coldness flashed across Charlotte's eyes. He then looked at the boy and said calmly,"Is this what you call a life-gamble? But now it seems that I have won. Does this mean that your life belongs to me?"

"No, no, no!"

Hearing Charlotte's words, the boy shook his head and said jokingly,"I never said that it was a bet of my life and yours!"

"The life I want to gamble with belongs to my sister!"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you probably don't know who my sister is! She is the Fairy Queen you all call, Fairy Queen Erza, my sister, and also my former partner......"

Puff!!

As soon as the boy finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking air, and then a flash of white light was seen. Before the young boy could react, he screamed and flew backwards.

Puff!!

The white light passed through the boy's body and shot to the wall behind him without slowing down. When the white light dissipated, he saw a poker card on the wall with nearly half of it inserted in it. On the half of the poker card that was exposed, a drop of blood slowly dripped down.

"Charlotte, this guy is Erza's brother!"

The harpy's cat claws moved away from his mouth at some point, and he looked at the boy who was hit by Charlotte with a playing card, and said in surprise again

""Happi, go get Nazgre and Lucy over here now, hurry up!"

Charlotte's voice was a little serious. After hearing this, Hobby didn't hesitate at all and immediately used the 'wing' magic. The little wings flapped violently and flew away from Charlotte's shoulder quickly.

"Hahaha! It seems you have guessed it."

After the harpy left, the boy lying on the ground suddenly laughed. He raised his head, and bright red blood kept dripping down his face, but he didn't care at all. He just kept shaking his head and said:

"It's useless. At the moment of darkness, our mission has been completed. So, this time, the gamble of life——"

"I won!"

"I broke your 18-game winning streak!"

Charlotte slowly stepped forward, came to the boy, squatted gently, looked at the boy's bloodstained face, and said softly:

"Your name is Xiu, right?"

"you.....How do you know?!"The young boy, Xio, looked at Charlotte in surprise. He had never mentioned his name before.

"Erza's former companions, besides you, should also include Milliana, Woolley, and Simon....And that guy named Gerald......"

Charlotte said lightly. Although Xio did not speak, from his increasingly shocked eyes, it can be seen that what Charlotte said was completely correct.

"As Erza's current partner, I have something to say to you."

Charlotte looked straight at Xiou's young face, her eyes were calm and terribly calm. Facing this look, Xiou couldn't help but feel a little flustered,"You....What do you want to say?...."

"I want to say——"

"Erza's Fate——"

"You are not someone you can gamble with!!!"

At the end, Charlotte's voice suddenly rose, and he threw a punch, hitting Xio's young face mercilessly!

Boom!!!.....
