Future Rogue

Royal Palace

With Gerard joining them, the Hungry Wolf Knights were under immense pressure. It felt like they were about to lose their ability to hold Natsu and the others back!

Even their captain, the leader of the group, wondered whether they had spent too long in the Abyss Palace and become disconnected from reality. Were there really this many powerful wizards nowadays?!

Just a few random people could rival them!

"Tai?!"

Natsu and the others watched this scene in horror. Those shadows gave off an extremely evil feeling!

Gerard recognized it immediately. This was the evil source he had been searching for all along!

"Huh?! That Black Wizard?"

"No, probably not, but his magic power is extremely evil..."

"You took care of the King's Army and the Hungry Wolf Knights. Did you come to help us?"

Loki asked, but he never lowered his guard. That cold aura made it impossible
