"Could it be that your true form is a human fusion of Caprico and another human?"
"This time I'm going to have your body! Leo!" Caprico shouted.
"Damn it!" Loke's fist, glowing with golden light, charged towards Caprico, landing a punch on Caprico's stomach;
"It's too late, Leo!" The black figure burrowed directly into Loke's body. Once all the shadows were inside Loke's body, the expression on Loke's face changed instantly, becoming somewhat evil.
Looking at his hands, he trembled slightly and said, "Haha... I've finally gotten a human form." Then, glancing at Caprico's body lying on the ground, he said, "I've had a tough time with this goat body all this time, but you can't move after taking one punch from Leo? My name is Leo now! My master is Lucy. As long as I kill Lucy, I can become a perfect human. By the way, this body is perfect for deceiving him. Or should I make her, who has beauty like Lady Layla, my slave?" Loke, seemingly possessed by someone, chuckled evilly, but his expression instantly froze.
"Wh... what!" Loke looked down in disbelief, only to see a beam of light pierce through his abdomen. Turning around, he saw it was Caprico, who had just been lying on the ground.
"Caprico...! How can you still move!" Just as he finished speaking, a figure flew out from Loke's damaged body, and Loke regained consciousness;
"I'm very sorry, Lord Leo, I was a little rude!" Caprico said.
"No, it's alright. If we hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been able to get out," Loke said with difficulty. The attack had seriously injured Loke, but they were Celestial Spirit, especially Celestial Spirit with a master. As long as they returned to the Spirit World, everything would be healed.
The person who had just emerged from Loke's body looked at Caprico with disbelief and said, "Why... why can you still move Caprico!"
"Just before you and Leo merged, you received the King's Light from Leo," Caprico said.
"Was that the one from before? Damn it! But thankfully, it still returned to human form." This person recalled what had just happened, but before they could even feel happy, their body turned into Utakata and vanished.
"Lord Leo, how are you feeling now?"
"I'm fine. You go help Lucy right now, I have a feeling something big is about to happen!" Loke said.
Caprico wasn't the only one disobeying orders; Urutia was another. "Tell me to go back? No way! I finally got a chance to see Zeref! What does it matter to me whether Chairman Hades lives or dies? It would be best to perish together with everyone in Fairy Tail! Zeref, where are you?!" Urutia shouted, her face contorted in pain.
Perhaps it was Urutia's sincerity that moved the heavens, or perhaps it was the guidance of fate, but just after Urutia finished shouting, she heard someone say, "Are you looking for me?"
Urutia turned her gaze toward the direction from which the sound came, and saw a person emerge from the shadows of the trees—it was Zeref, whom she had been searching for.

Urutia's face lit up with surprise, and her body trembled slightly.
Zeref then spoke up, saying, "Is this the conflict you started? Do you want my power?"
Urutia knelt on one knee and bowed her head, saying, "You are everything, Lord Zeref!"
"I don't want to do anything in this era. I don't want to see fighting and death. Stop attacking immediately and leave this island. I'm furious!" Zeref said grimly, causing Urutia to tremble involuntarily.
"Why would you say such a thing? Haven't you woken up yet?"
"Why wouldn't I say that? Awakening? What is that? I've been awake the whole time, but the more awake I am, the more afraid and terrified I feel, making me want to escape from this place. But now, I feel hope, the hope that someone can finally kill me. Chen Fan, someone who doesn't belong to this world. I feel his power, that power that's completely different from magic should be able to kill me!" Zeref said.
Urutia trembled uncontrollably upon hearing Zeref's words. Was Chen Fan not from this world after all? No wonder he possessed such extraordinary power beyond magic. But Zeref's words left her bewildered; why choose to die?
"You know where Chen Fan is, right? No! I don't need to ask you anymore, I'll go myself. There's always fighting there, he could very well be there." Zeref walked behind Urutia.
"Whoosh...!" Urutia stepped in front of Zeref;
Zeref's face darkened as he asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Lord Zeref, you are not fully conscious yet. I believe that if you were fully conscious, you could defeat Chen Fan, as long as you become the King of the Great Magic World..."
"Are you trying to defy me?" Zeref said with a stern face;
