This single glance caused a slight change in the expression of the members of the Grimoire Heart, hidden within the clouds, and an absurd thought involuntarily arose in their minds.

Although, Bai Yu quickly smiled and looked away.

But in that instant, it felt as if they had seen through the clouds and their disguise, as if they had known of their existence all along.

However, this eerie feeling disappeared as soon as it arose.

By the time they came to their senses and were about to continue their investigation, Bai Yu had already looked towards Tenrou Island again.

It felt as if that glance just now had only been fleeting and unintentional.

"President Hades, have we been discovered?"

Among the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Azuma, clad in green soft armor, frowned and asked a question.

All eyes instantly fell on Hades, filled with a sense of urgency.

After all, if the illusion just now only occurred in one person, it could be considered paranoia.

However, now everyone present feels like they've been seen through, which completely changes the meaning of the whole thing.

Hadeer's face darkened, and he slammed his magic staff down onto the deck.

" Black Dark Magic: Mana Devouring!"

Buzz!

A pitch-black magic circle bloomed beneath Hades ' feet.

In the blink of an eye, it quickly spread throughout the entire magic airship.

The magic circle that originally enveloped the entire airship was directly absorbed and swept away by the pitch-black magic circle.

Finally, the magic circle beneath Hades' feet vanished into thin air.

His previously gloomy expression softened slightly as he said, "No residual particles of perception magic were detected, and there's no magical energy permeating the surroundings. The airship's disguise hasn't been exposed; we shouldn't have been discovered."

"Besides, if this brat could have noticed, I believe Makarov would have noticed long ago."

"By the way, don't forget who I really am. If we're really going to get to the bottom of it, I'm one of the best at controlling magic on the Ishgar Continent."

As the second guild master of Fairy Tail.

Hades was essentially a magic researcher, and he created countless forms of both light and Black Dark Magic.

Furthermore, they have reached the level of experts in human magic.

He even used human magic to connect his lost left eye with the demon's left eye, thereby greatly enhancing his magical power.

If we really want to be serious about it, Hades ' strength, if placed on the Ishgar Continent, would be comparable to that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

He is even more formidable than Brain, the former director of the Magic Research Bureau.

Faced with Hades ' words, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

The moment I looked back at the ship, I finally saw Bai Yu take a swig of alcohol.

Without the slightest movement, the person vanished into thin air as if by magic.

"Teleportation magic?"

Kawazu, who looked like a turkey, paused for a moment.

Among the many types of magic, spatial teleportation magic doesn't seem to be very powerful.

However, if used properly, it can definitely become the most troublesome magic.

"No, I didn't sense any magical fluctuations just now; it was probably just physical strength." Hades' expression darkened as he looked towards the area twenty or thirty meters away where the ship had capsized.

A blurry figure appeared swiftly, like a ghost.

They eventually landed on the ice, and contrary to their expectations, they did not continue to teleport forward.

He simply carried the wine bottle and walked slowly toward Tenrou Island.

This relaxed demeanor made him stand out noticeably from the others who had participated in the assessment.

"This guy's way of doing things is truly baffling."

A slight smile appeared on Ultear's face, but it was quickly suppressed.

Seeing Zoldeo's discomfitured expression, Ultear felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Of course, this so-called secret pleasure is best kept to oneself; if others were to see it, it would definitely become a topic of gossip.

The only thing that made Ultear feel fortunate was that, at this critical moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Bai Yu, and no one noticed her change.

Of course, at this critical juncture, Ultear himself did not notice that his once cold and aloof self seemed to be gradually changing.

"That guy's here!"

Zoldeo waited anxiously for almost ten minutes before finally seeing Bai Yu arrive later and land on Tenrou Island.

They almost crushed the ship's railings.

"Guild Master Hades, quickly use your detection magic to see where this guy is moving."

"Don't worry, I'm ready!"

Hades stomped his scepter on the ground, and a massive amount of magic gathered and transformed into an eye, which shot straight down towards Tenrou Island.

Meanwhile, scenes unfolding with the aid of dark magic also take place on the deck.

The first thing that catches the eye is Bai Yu, standing on the shore drinking.

However, at this moment, Bai Yu had a smile on his face and raised the wine bottle in his hand forward.

"It's Erza, known as the Titania. I've heard she already possesses the strength of S-Class Mage."

Zoldeo grinned menacingly.

"I can't believe this guy's luck; he was found so quickly."

"No, it should be said that this guy is so unpopular within Fairy Tail that people avoid going anywhere else and just camp out here to see him."

"However, this is for the best. An S-Class Mage should definitely make him pay a heavy price."

"We might be able to win, but our strength and true nature will be exposed, and we might even exhaust our magic power, allowing us to gain an easy advantage."

At this point, Zoldeo's smile grew even more sinister. "By the way, if there's a real chance to make a move later, you absolutely mustn't try to take it from me. I want to personally show this guy what despair tastes like."

The playful words echoed on the deck.

All eyes were fixed on Bai Yu.

I'm equally eager to see what gives this guy the confidence to single-handedly take on Oración Seis and dare to challenge their Grimoire Heart.

" Erza, I knew you'd be waiting for me here."

Bai Yu smiled and took a swig of his drink.

"However, I'm very curious to know how to get through this."

"Should we have another match?"

Bai Yu was not surprised by Erza's appearance.

Or rather, from the very beginning, Bai Yu had no intention of sneaking around like the others to get to the Tenrou Tree.

If we're going to play games, we should play the most exciting ones.

A dark road leads nowhere!

This is Bai Yu's motto.

As for the four challenges, Bai Yu will not let any of them pass by.
