"Oh, is this the Cursed Flute?"
Erza followed closely behind, braving the hurricane to glance at the flute in Zorn's hand, and then pulled Lucy, who was following behind, out with her.
"The wind is so strong! How should we deal with this hurricane? Will it gradually subside?"
Lucy had just crawled out of the cave and was now lying on the ground, struggling against the hurricane. Virgo was also pulling Lucy along, trying her best to keep Lucy from being swept away by the hurricane.
"Heh, you guys are really strong. Oh well, whatever."
Kageyama was dragged out of the cave by Natsu. Seeing that his boss had been subdued, the last glimmer of hope in his heart shattered. He lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
"We're in a hurry, so let's just use brute force!"
Zorn's Magic Power surged, and a golden Magic Circle rose beneath his feet, enveloping them all. A giant sword quickly formed in the sky, hovering directly above the Demon Wind Wall.
"How is this possible? To be able to create such Magic so casually... you, you are..."
Kageyama was awakened by the dazzling light. When he opened his eyes, he saw such exaggerated Magic. Looking at that familiar figure, his eyes immediately lost their luster. He thought that it was not unjust for his boss to lose to Zorn, one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
"Ugh, ugh~ Using two Magic at the same time, and this Magic Circle is Teleportation Magic from back then... Should we just go find the Guild Master?"
"Yes, we'll be there soon, and this Demon Wind Wall will be dealt with immediately."
As Zorn swung his hand down, the giant sword in the sky fell sharply, easily cleaving the Demon Wind Wall. The hurricane was also disrupted, and the wind force visibly decreased. Zorn precisely controlled the giant sword, which hovered and then dissipated into points of light in the air.
"So strong!"
Lucy stared at the scene before her, her mouth agape. It was the first time she had ever seen Zorn unleash offensive Magic, and the suffocating pressure she had just felt was no joke.
"Hey~ Zorn is amazing!"
Natsu, Gray, and Erza, on the other hand, were unfazed and not at all surprised, as they had long been aware of Zorn's power.
"Get ready, we're about to depart."
At that moment, everyone vanished from their spot as the Magic Circle shone brightly.
--Separator--
The Guild Masters' Meeting will be held in the afternoon.
At the same time, a golden Magic Circle was set up outside. The Guild Master stared at the Magic Circle, and after it shone brightly, several figures appeared within it.
"Guild Master, we're back! Mission accomplished!"
"Hmm, what is Erza and the others' mission that you few are tasked with?" Guild Master Makarov looked at Erza and the others with a serious expression, while the other Guild Masters waited for an answer from behind.
"That's how it was originally... but in the end we found out their target was actually you, the Guild Master." Erza stepped forward and recounted the whole story.
"This is the Cursed Flute sealed by the Magic Council. Guild Master, what do you think we should do with it? Should we just destroy it?" Zorn handed the Cursed Flute to Guild Master Makarov was standing to the side.
"Oh, this is it?"
"But it's so ugly!"
"Are these three holes eyes? That's really strange."
Several Guild Master stepped forward and surrounded it, touching and fiddling with the flute, poking at the three holes with their fingers, and occasionally making sarcastic remarks.
Lucy and the others, who were listening nearby, could only laugh awkwardly in silence.
"Wow, the eyes are glowing purple!" a Guild Master exclaimed, as a huge purple Magic Circle unfolded in the sky.
The Cursed Flute gradually rose into the air, suddenly transforming into a gigantic demon made of tree branches, roaring at the crowd:
"Damn it, how dare you humiliate me like this! I am a mighty demon, and you are all a bunch of useless Mages. I will devour your souls!"
"How could it suddenly become so big?"
"What the hell is this thing? I never knew such a thing existed!" Kageyama was terrified by the demon that stood before him, which was as tall as a small mountain.
"Oh dear, this is not good."
"Hmm, it's the demon from Zeref's book!"
Zorn noticed that the Guild Master weren't surprised at all, and even seemed to be enjoying the show. He really thought they were doing it on purpose, trying to lure out this demon.
"Why has the flute turned into a monster?" Lucy was also shocked by what she was seeing; she had never seen anything like it before.
"It seems this Monster is the Cursed Flute itself, a kind of living Magic, that is, Zeref's Magic."
At this moment, the Fairy Tail Guild Master of the Quatro Cerberus, Goldmine, was giving a solemn explanation of the Magic. When he mentioned this Zeref, everyone in the Magic world would show a solemn expression.
"Seraf, not long ago..." Grey Elsa was shocked upon hearing this news, staring intently at the demon before her.
"Whose soul should we begin with?"
The demon looked down at the group of humans on the ground, his mouth opening and closing, his tone extremely arrogant.
"Ew~ Is soul delicious?" Natsu's expression immediately changed, and he asked Gray with a greedy look.
"How would I know? Why are you asking me?" Gray replied with a hint of disdain.
"I knew it would be like this..." Lucy glanced sideways speechlessly, her face full of expectation.
"Damn it, they're ignoring me again, hehe."
Meanwhile, in the forest on the other side, the Kingdom's army was also watching the demon in astonishment.
"Don't be afraid of the giant Monster, all of you, charge!"
"Oh oh"
The captain shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to advance bravely. His men also shouted with high spirits, successfully attracting the Monster's attention.
"You nobodies, just die!"
The Monster, already humiliated and further enraged by being ignored by Natsu and the others, now unleashed its fury entirely on the soldiers.
Magic Circle appeared in his mouth, and a high- Energy Cannon was aimed at the group of soldiers.
"Captain..." The soldiers looked at the Monster high in the sky with fear on their faces.
"Zorn!"
"Yes, Guild Master."
Zorn spread his hand, and the instant the high- Energy Cannon was released, a massive, double-defense Magic, "Holy Shield," instantly appeared in front of the soldiers, completely blocking the demon's Magic.
Seeing this, the soldiers quickened their pace and hastily retreated, completely losing their will to fight.
"Erza, Natsu, Gray, this Monster is in your hands. Show us the true power of Fairy Tail." Makarov solemnly instructed the three of them from a rock.
"Yes, Master."
"Don't worry, old man, we'll take care of this demon." Natsu clenched his fists, staring at the demon with the same excitement as Gray.
"Let's go!" Erza conjured two Magic swords and charged forward, using "Moonwalk" repeatedly in mid-air to accelerate.
"Oh, ho!" Nazgray and the other two were not to be outdone, using the Six Powers - Shave to quickly catch up, and the three of them faced each other head-on.
