Inside the Magic Council
"What did you say?! Is this information true?!" Og asked in shock.
"But eight years ago, when we received the news, didn't we wipe out all those cultists who worshiped the Black Mage Zeref?!"
"I remember there were seven small islands. Weren't they all destroyed back then?!"
