"Hahahaha! Someone actually dared to invade Tartaros? How interesting! Kill, kill, kill!"
"Onimaru!!!"
Ezel unleashed a massive cross-shaped slash.
Swish!
The walls were sliced open like tofu in the face of this slash.
"Aaaaagh!!!"
Many members of Tartaros were also heavily injured by the slash.
"Eek!"
Levy hadn't noticed someone unleashing such a powerful slash, it was too late to dodge now.
"Watch out!"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Levy, crossing his arms to block.
Boom!
The powerful slash shattered the ground beneath the newcomer's feet, but his body remained motionless, firmly blocking the path in front of Levy.
"Gajeel!"
The newcomer was indeed Gajeel. He had been keeping an eye on this area and rushed over immediately when he saw Levy in danger.
"Go deal with the others. Leave this guy to me." Gajeel's gaze turned toward Ezel.
This guy clearly looked different from those underlings. If he wasn't mistaken, he was likely one of the demons from the Books of Zeref as well.
"Okay, then be careful."
Levy knew her strength was insufficient. Staying here, she would likely just cause trouble for Gajeel. It was better to go and do something more useful.
"Hahahaha! You actually managed to block my slash! You're quite impressive!"
Seeing Gajeel block his attack, Ezel became excited. It had been a long time since he'd met someone who could withstand his slashes. Fighting this guy would definitely be fun.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate Fairy Tail!" Gajeel clenched his fists.
Inside a certain room.
"Stop! What's going on?!"
"I... I don't know!"
Two Fairy Tail members suddenly felt their bodies lose control, attacking each other.
Seilah said indifferently, "This is my Command Curse. It can command all humans, depriving their bodies of self-control. Their bodies will involuntarily follow my orders."
"Both of you, do not resist. Kill each other."
Hearing Seilah's command, the two involuntarily began to gather magic in their hands.
"No... please..."
"Stop... stop it!"
The two were best friends and partners who had joined Fairy Tail together to chase their dreams. They would rather die than hurt their friend.
Darkness Stream!
A dark claw-like hand attacked Seilah.
Seilah's expression changed, and she quickly raised her hand to block.
Bam!
Her body was still sent flying.
The command over the two was suddenly broken, and they both deactivated their magic.
"Mirajane-san!"
Seeing the newcomer, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They hadn't expected such a terrifying person to be in this room.
"You two leave. I'll handle this one."
"Mirajane-san, please be careful. She can control people's bodies."
"I order you, kill your comrade!"
Seilah raised her hand and unleashed her Command Curse on Mirajane, but after the Curse was released, she found that Mirajane hadn't moved at all.
"What's going on? My Curse isn't working on you?!"
Seilah was somewhat surprised, this was the first time her Curse had failed on a human.
Full Body Take Over: Satan Soul!
Mirajane transformed into her Satan Soul state.
Seeing Mirajane's transformation, Sera understood why her 'Curse' had failed on her. "I see, you possess Demonic Factors yourself."
"Come on, let's fight!"
Once Mirajane transformed into her Satan Soul state, her entire demeanor turned ferocious.
Hell's Core.
"La la la la la la!"
"Regeneration complete! La la la la la la!!"
Lamy hopped around.
"This is my body."
A dark-skinned man punched himself. Although it was his own arm, he felt strangely unfamiliar with it because every time he died, his memory would reset, causing him to forget many things.
"Yes, Tempester-kun."
"Tempester, is that my name?" Tempester frowned.
He couldn't even recall his own name.
"Aren't you handsome? I tried making you handsome when I remade you." Lamy looked at Tempester with a lovesick expression, shaking her hips.
"Appearance doesn't matter." Tempester wasn't interested in looks.
"What's that? Only focusing on Tempester? So biased." Jackal stepped out, his body also fully regenerated.
Lamy immediately rushed over to Jackal and nuzzled him. "Because Jackal-kun is already cute. Lalala!"
"That feels disgusting, don't come near me."
"Jackal-kun...?"
Tempester looked uncertainly toward Jackal.
"What's wrong? Tempester, you forgot me again?"
Jackal was tired of having to reintroduce himself to Tempester every time.
"Tempester-kun loses his memory every time he regenerates. Is it because of the magical barrier particles? It's so sad, but I'm right here with you." Lamy ran over to Tempester.
"..."
Tempester was speechless at Lamy's dramatic display.
"Takeshi, that damned guy, unforgivable! I must crush them all." Jackal said through gritted teeth.
Having lived for over 400 years, this was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.
"Takeshi?"
Tempester looked confused again.
Jackal said, "You don't know that guy. You don't need to remember, and you can't remember anyway."
"Your angry expression is amazing too!! I'm about to burst!" Lamy became excited again.
"Shut up!"
"Are you talking about Takeshi?" A woman's voice sounded.
"Who is that?"
"Hmm? Who are you?"
Both Tempester and Jackal looked suspiciously at the newcomer.
Lamy introduced her without enthusiasm, "Oh, her? She's the former human named Minerva that Kyoka-sama captured. By the way, I'm not interested in female bodies at all."
Minerva looked at herself. "Is this an 'Etherious'? It's filled with power."
"You said you know Takeshi?" Jackal's gaze fixed on Minerva.
The name Takeshi made him particularly sensitive right now.
"Of course. Who on this continent doesn't know Takeshi? He is the strongest man in the Ishgar Continent."
Rumble!
A loud noise occurred, causing everyone present to frown.
Jackal asked, "What's going on upstairs?"
Lamy replied, "That? Fairy Tail broke in just now, and they are fighting upstairs."
"What?!"
Everyone's expression changed.
Even Tempester felt an inexplicable surge of anger when he heard the words Fairy Tail, as if his very soul resented the name.
"Damn it! They actually dare to attack Tartaros!" Jackal said angrily and immediately wanted to rush out.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared.
"Who is it?!"
Everyone immediately looked warily at Takeshi.
