After Zeref was directly teleported off the island by Moen, the first enemy to arrive on "Tenrou Island" was undoubtedly the "Demon's Heart" guild that Moen had previously observed in the "future".
Moen originally thought that the "Demon's Heart" was the most important thing, but now it seems that it was just an appetizer!
Standing on the shore of "Tianlang Island" and looking out to sea, a huge "warship" and "airship" appeared on the sea. This was the command ship of "Heart of the Devil", and it looked like a pirate ship.
They usually stayed on this command ship, which was hidden behind the clouds to avoid being searched and to prevent people from finding any trace of "the heart of the devil".
"It seems this is no small matter."
Seeing that even an airship had been deployed by the "Heart of the Devil," Makarov couldn't help but think that the other party was indeed up to no good. He could sense that there were many powerful auras on that ship.
Now that things have come to this, Makarov's last shred of hope has completely vanished; a battle between them and "Heart of the Devil" is inevitable.
"Tenrou Island is a sacred ground belonging to the Fairy Tail guild. No one is allowed to enter without permission. Friends on the spaceship outside, if you don't want to become enemies with Fairy Tail, please leave immediately, otherwise..."
Don't blame us for being impolite.
Looking at the spaceship hovering in the air, Makarov shouted, his voice booming and carrying directly to the ship opposite.
"How did these Fairy Tail people know we were coming? How did they know we'd be here?"
On the spaceship, the dark mages of Grimheart were all surprised to see the Fairy Tail members gathered on the shore.
Their original plan was to launch a surprise attack, go directly to the island, defeat Fairy Tail members one by one, and then capture Zeref.
"Who leaked the information?"
With long black hair, bangs, and wearing a white dress with a yellow belt around her waist, Urutia questioned him with a stern face.
She felt uneasy. The raid had only just begun and problems had already arisen. The other side was already prepared, so what kind of raid was this?
Furthermore, if Fairy Tail is ready, what about Zeref? Has he also been discovered by Fairy Tail? Could they have already made their move before him?
"Who could leak the news? None of us have disembarked."
In response to Urutia's question, a burly man spoke up.
The man also had a head of black hair, but it was combed into a long braid hanging down his back. His face was covered in stubble, and his sideburns had grown to his cheeks. He was wearing a white overcoat over a dark purple bodysuit, and he looked very capable.
"Brunott is right, no one can leak the news."
Others chimed in, echoing Vice President Bruno Sturgeon's words. No one had left the ship these past few days, so there was no reason for the news to leak out, and what reason would they have to leak it?
Capture Zeref, attack "Tenrou Island", attack "Fairy Tail", and completely destroy "Fiore Kingdom's No. 1 Guild". Everyone is excited. Who will secretly inform the other side?
"Stop arguing. After all, they are Fairy Tail. It's not surprising that they were able to find us in advance. If the surprise attack fails, then let's face them head-on. Don't you have any confidence?"
After his men started arguing, Hades, who was standing at the bow of the ship, spoke up. He was an old man wearing black armor and a two-horned helmet, with fierce eyes. He wore an eyepatch over his right eye, and an ominous aura seemed to emanate from beneath it.
"How could that be?! Of course we're confident!"
Guild Master Hades' words spurred everyone else on. They weren't afraid of Fairy Tail at all; their Devil Heart was the number one ranked dark mage guild, and their Seven Kin of Purgatory were feared by all.
"Little Fairy Tail, watch me take them all down!"
A man with messy, long blond hair and red eyes with rings around his eyes shouted arrogantly. Black and purple flames burned on his body, and he charged out, heading straight for the Fairy Tail group on the shore.
"Zancro is being a bit too overconfident. You all go and help."
Seeing Zancro rushing directly onto "Tenrou Island," Hades shook his head. He waved his hand, signaling the rest of the "Seven Kin of Purgatory" to lead their soldiers to the island.
"yes!"
The other members of the "Purgatory Seven Kin," including Ultear, accepted the order and led their officers and soldiers to rush onto the island. They had to defeat Fairy Tail first, otherwise they would not be able to penetrate the island to capture Zeref.
"Can I go?"
Seeing that the "Seven Kin of Purgatory" had all set off for battle with their men, Bruno Stega asked Chairman Hades a question.
Their "Heart of the Devil" is clearly well-organized internally. Hades, as the guild leader, has absolute authority, and even the vice guild leader has to consult Hades before deciding whether to launch an attack.
"No, Brunot, your strength is too great. It's not advisable to act rashly. Let the Seven Kin of Purgatory handle it; that's enough."
Hades waved his hand, refusing Vice President Bruno Stega's request to fight, as he had faith in the strength of the "Seven Kin of Purgatory".
"Of course, after we've dealt with that little Makarov."
While Hades may believe it, he wasn't a fool; he didn't think the Seven Kin of Purgatory could defeat Makarov.
No matter what, Makarov was his personally chosen successor, the strongest among the younger generation of Fairy Tail in that era, and a standout among them.
Bruno Sturgeon remained silent upon hearing this. He actually knew the true identity of Chairman Hades, since his own chairman hadn't altered his appearance in any way.
Precht Gelber, one of the four founders of Fairy Tail, the second guild master of Fairy Tail, and a legendary magic genius, how powerful was he? Warlord Shinken, now known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar," was no match for Precht Gelber back then.
The members of "Heart of the Devil" hold Hades in high esteem, not only for his glorious past but also for his power. Their magic was even personally taught by Hades.
"6
""
Looking at the old, short figure on the island, Hades sighed. He really hadn't expected that Makarov could have led Fairy Tail to this state.
This was completely beyond Hades' expectations and was now something he loathed.
This mage guild, which vigorously promotes "unity, friendship, and family-like harmony," is full of "glorious and righteous" ideals and is completely inconsistent with Hades' current philosophy.
Therefore, although Hades' main purpose in coming to "Tenrou Island" was to "capture Zeref", completely annihilating "Fairy Tail" was also one of his must-achieve goals.
"boom!"
Zancro landed on the island, his body engulfed in raging black flames. He wore a smile and looked incredibly arrogant.
"Knowing we were coming, why didn't you run away? You dared to stay here and fight us! You certainly have some courage!"
Zancro had barely settled in when he started mocking Fairy Tail with arrogant words, showing no regard for the group.
"The last guy who was this arrogant is probably already buried with grass growing on his grave."
Facing the incredibly arrogant Zancro, Moen smiled and shook his head, teasingly saying that when they fought the Oración Seis, the Oración Seis were just as arrogant as this guy in front of them.
But look at them now, where are the members of the "Six Demon Generals"? If they act quickly, they might have already been reincarnated!
"Very well! So arrogant! No wonder you dared to accept the challenge!"
Enraged by Moen's blatant sarcasm, Zankro muttered something like "What the Oración Seis is?" and charged at Moen, his body wreathed in flames.
"Fire Dragon's... Iron Fist!"
Natsu flew out from the side and punched Zankro, stopping Zankro from charging straight at Moen.
"I'll be your opponent!"
Natsu looked at Zankro with excitement. This guy's flames looked dangerous, but also very attractive. Without any hesitation, Natsu chose this opponent for himself.
This is a battle that determines whether or not one can be promoted to "S-Class Mage," so it cannot be taken lightly. Naturally, Natsu went all out from the very beginning.
Wearing the Leo Minor Suit, Natsu's body surged with magical power. Just from that one attack, Natsu already understood that his opponent was powerful and he had to take it seriously.
"Dragon Slayer Mage, or Fire Dragon Slayer Mage."
Stopped by Natsu, Zankro's gaze finally fell on Natsu.
After understanding what kind of magic Natsu was using, the man with fluffy blond hair burst into laughter, as if he had heard a joke.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Natsu was completely bewildered by Zankro's laughter, and he scratched his head, asking in confusion.
Looking at Zankro laughing heartily, Natsu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. He wondered if this guy was an idiot.
Do you know what kind of magic I used?
Zankro stopped laughing and asked Natsu triumphantly, seemingly intrigued by Natsu's "Fire Dragon Slayer Magic".
How would I know...
'
Natsu was speechless. He didn't know what Zankro's magic was, but it was definitely related to fire.
"What I used was God-Slaying Magic, which surpasses even Dragon-Slaying Magic, and it just so happens to be... Fire God-Slaying Magic!"
Zancro stretched out his hands, his entire body erupting with magical power, exuding immense pressure. He spoke with great certainty, clearly believing this to be true and taking pride in it.
"Pah! Nonsense! What god-slaying magic? Superior to dragon-slaying magic? Watch me send you flying!"
Zankro's words undoubtedly angered Natsu, and at the same time, he wondered to himself why his opponents all thought his magic was more powerful than his "Fire Dragon Slayer Magic".
The "Poison Dragon" Cobra from "Oración Seis" was like that, and this "Fire God-Slaying Magic" I encountered this time is the same. If you're going to fight, just fight, why do you have to step on his "Fire Dragon-Slaying Magic"? It's really infuriating.
"Fire Dragon's... Iron Fist!"
Natsu charged straight at it, too lazy to waste any more words on this "God-Slaying Magic". Whatever "God-Slaying Magic" it was, as long as it was fire-related magic, it was definitely no match for him!
"Fist of the Flame God!"
Zankro also directly clashed with Natsu with a punch. The two flames collided, and the two magical powers collided, putting Natsu at a clear disadvantage.
As it turned out, Zancro was not lying; his black flames, the "Flame of Godslayer," were indeed numerically stronger than the "Flame of Dragon Slayer."
Natsu's expression changed; he realized this as well. His flames were no match for his opponent's; the endless black flames seemed capable of burning and devouring his own.
"As expected of the legendary lost magic."
Moen glanced at the battle and praised the "Fire God-Slaying Magic," saying that in terms of the fire's power alone, the "God-Slaying Flame" was already at the very top.
"However, Natsu isn't as simple-minded and reckless as he looks. If his stats can't compete, he'll unleash other powers."
Seeing Natsu being brutally suppressed and beaten, Moen wasn't worried like the others; he even had the mind to comment.
Because Moen knew that Natsu was only looking bad now; he was observing and trying, and that the kid would definitely turn the tables.
"Zancro is still strong. He is dealing with this rising fire dragon with ease and has been pressing it all the way. It seems that victory is not far away."
The Seven Kin of Purgatory who rushed to help breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. It was good news for them that Fairy Tail did not swarm in and gang up on Zankuro. Zankuro could not possibly lose in a one-on-one fight like this.
"Ha! I finally caught him!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd with differing opinions, Natsu tumbled to his feet in a disheveled state, but the expression on his face had already regained its air of confidence.
Because at this moment, Natsu had already grasped a ball of "God-Slaying Flame" in his hand, not just grasped it, but completely controlled it.
With years of diligent study and practice, and the generous instruction from "Flame Manipulation Master" Ubume, Natsu's already exceptional talent has made his control over fire unparalleled.
Natsu is no longer the same Natsu who could be easily controlled by Tutu Maru's flames. He is now a "fire dragon" who can control any flame!
The reason why it took so long to successfully control Zankro's "God-Slaying Flame" is indeed because this "God-Slaying Flame" is special and powerful enough, and has never been seen before.
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing Natsu successfully control his dark purple "God-Slaying Flame," Zankro's eyes widened in disbelief. How could that "fire dragon" control the flame that belonged only to him?!
