Chapter 8 Mission The Devil In The Church (Part 1)

On a train heading to Casco town.

"Hey, Zorn, have you ever heard of the devil or seen it?" Cana sat on the seat and propped up his head, covering his mouth with one hand while hitting Hatcher and asked Zorn.

"Devil..., of course I have heard of it, but never seen it, but this time I can take a closer look."

Zorn fell into the thought of recalling.

Of course he had heard of it, and had also seen it before.

There are many pictures of demons in the world that can be seen online, not to mention that Zorn has also seen all the demons created by Zeref, not to mention that END is now in the guild, and Zorn cannot tell the truth.

"Well, what's the answer? Ha~ Forget it, ha~ I'm so sleepy.

I can't do it anymore.

I'll take a nap first.

Call me when you get to the station."

Cana was not satisfied with Zorn's answer, but because she was really sleepy, she mumbled.

After squealing and talking, I finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on my stomach.

As soon as Zorn and Cana entered the town, a carriage loaded with goods creaked past, accompanied by cheerful shouts. People of all kinds crowded in the streets and alleys, and stalls were filled with a dazzling array of goods.

At the other end of the alley, a smart cat was chasing the falling leaves, and children on the street corner were playing their hide-and-seek game.

"It's so lively." Cana looked at the bustling and lively scene in front of him, took a deep breath, exhaled the exhaustion in his body, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go to the client first to understand the situation. The client seems to be...". Zorn read the mission list introduction, determined the direction, raised his head and said to Cana who was still concentrating on the scenery.

"This is what happened..." Zorn gave a rough summary after listening to the village chief's story.

It turns out that a priest came to the mountain a few years ago and opened a church.

Everything in the village has always been handled by the priest in the church.

However, this changed some time ago.

If some villagers go to the church to ask for the priest, they disappear.

When we got to the priest, we could only see a pair of blood-red eyes in the darkness of the church, which looked like the eyes of a devil.

"Oh, then this demon didn't come out to hurt anyone?" After Cana heard this, he quickly asked the village chief.

"Church? Demon?" Zorn heard what the village chief said. These two keywords reminded him of a very familiar plot, and three members of Fairy Tail, the future S-class mage Mirajane Stern. Rouse, his younger brother, Elfman Strauss, the king of beasts, and his sister, Lisanna Strauss.

After thinking about it, Zorn looked at the task list in his hand, which included clearing out the demons and a brief introduction to the address, and smiled helplessly.

"That's not true.

It's just that there are roaring sounds coming from the mountain from time to time.

A few days ago, hunters went up the mountain and saw torn animal carcasses.

So now the mountain is a forbidden area and the villagers will not enter.

Now people in the village every day They are all worried, please solve it as soon as possible," the village chief replied with a sad look on his face.

"Zorn, Zorn." Cana shouted looking at Zorn who was deep in thought in front of him.

"What are you thinking about? Have you discovered anything?"

"No, I just thought of something. Let's go directly to the mountain now." Zorn decided to go directly to the mountain to solve the problem, which would be more efficient.

"Village Chief, Village Chief, it's not good, ha, Mirajane ran to the mountain alone, saying she was going to deal with the devil by herself." A villager hurriedly ran over from the opposite side, but before he arrived, his breathless voice could be heard. Come over.

"What"

"Master Mage, please see if you can save that girl as soon as possible." After the village chief exclaimed, he turned to ask Zorn and Cana who could solve the problem here.

"Cana, follow me, I'll take the first step," Zorn said, then a golden light glowed all over his body, and he went straight to the top of the mountain in a flash.

"Really"

"By the way, village chief, please stay away from the other side of the mountain and ask the villagers to stay away."

Cana was dissatisfied with Zorn's behavior of talking to himself, but considering the strength of Zorn's magic, he still felt uneasy and told the village chief a few more words.

After Cana finished speaking, he immediately took out a card, "Wings of Wind".

The card's magic formed a wing-like shape behind him.

Cana stepped on the ground, instantly jumped into the air, and shot away, chasing Zorn, and occasionally stepped back.

Air, acceleration, it can be seen that Cana has gradually mastered the Sixth Form of Navy.

"Village Chief, are all magicians so strong?" The villager who rushed to inform the situation looked at the cracks on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and asked the only village chief who had ever seen the world.

"Yes, this is true for us ordinary people, but they are also bound by rules and cannot attack civilians or launch wars at will." The village chief sighed after hearing this.

"By the way, Mirajane's younger brothers and sisters, have you asked someone to take care of them?" The village chief suddenly thought of it and asked the villager hurriedly.

"No...forgot...I...oh, don't hit, village chief, don't hit." The villagers barely responded with a few words when the village chief beat him with a cane. He covered his body with his hands and yelled, but he didn't stop him.

"Idiot, idiot, her younger brother and sister are definitely going after her sister. Why don't you hurry up and inform the other villagers to do what the little girl said."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The villagers ran towards the village.

"Hey" after the village chief finished teaching him, he sighed and turned to look in the direction where the two magicians disappeared. After a few moments, he turned around and walked towards the village with a cane.

the other side.

A meteor-like light fell from the sky and Zorn reached the top of the mountain.

There was a magic circle rising at the girl's feet.

Another villager said that the priest turned into a demon with a painful expression.

His eyes were sometimes awake, sometimes eroded by demonic energy.

When he was awake, he was desperately attacking the magic circle, trying to stop the magic circle. running, but was directly bounced away.

The figure in the magic circle, with long snow-white hair fluttering in the cold wind, formed a distinct sense of harmony with the surrounding icy atmosphere.

Her face was as pale as snow, like a ghost under the moonlight.

The original clear light in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a deep darkness and confusion.

The devil's power condensed around her, forming masses of dark red energy that was so rich that it was almost solidified. This power surged in the air, like a trapped dragon struggling and roaring. And the center of this power is the girl who is receiving the power of the devil.

Seeing this, Zorn stretched out a hand to the demonized priest. "Holy Light Magic·Sacred Shield" a defensive magic rose around the priest to protect the priest and help suppress the demonic power.

After all, his light magic belt With the holy attribute, the priest clearly felt that his eroded body was gradually improving, and he looked at Zorn with tears in his eyes and gratitude.

Zorn nodded, indicating that he was reassured, and then used his sense of perception to sense the magic circle, and found that Mirajane's own power and the power of the devil were in a state of balance.

If this balance was broken, the result might be difficult to predict.

We can only think of ways to strengthen Mirajane's power, but fortunately the priest's power is insufficient.

After Zorn finished thinking, he still wanted to deal with the enemy first.

He suddenly stretched out his hand in the opposite direction, opened his palm, and a golden magic circle instantly lit up in front of him.

Several laser beams shot out, instantly impacting a dark place.

Suddenly, smoke arose.

"Pap, slap, slap, slap sounds."

"Awesome, you found my location in an instant. I originally wanted to sneak away. Although I don't know how you found it, but for your age, it's really good." A man in a cloak He clapped his hands and praised.

"Onai-chan, sister, I'm Lisanna," a childlike and trembling girl's voice sounded.

"Zorn, I found these two children on the way here and said that their sister was up there, so I brought them with me." Cana panted slightly and hugged the two children and followed.

"Thank you Cana, take them to the magic circle first and try to awaken her sister.

She must control this power and not be eroded, otherwise she will no longer be her."

Zorn looked at Cana holding Lisa in one hand.

Na, who was still holding Elfman in one hand, said very apologetically, and decided to end the battle quickly.

She stretched out her hand to cast defensive magic.

One of the defensive magics was added to the magic circle as preparation, and it was considered timely.

"Okay, Lisanna, Elfman, come with me." Cana led the two children and ran towards the magic circle.

"Onai-chan, look at me, I'm Lisanna."

"Onai-chan, I'm Elfman, what's wrong with you?"

The worried and frightened voices of the two children came intermittently.

"Oh, do you plan to use the power of family affection? But according to our guild's previous experiments, some people were unable to resist the temptation of power.

In the end, they were eroded and then directly killed the entire village.

Some people were able to be suppressed slightly.

I tried to calm myself down, but after a little temptation, I was still eroded.

Although this little girl was an accident, I think she is still far from it, hahahahaha."

When the man in the cloak saw this scene, he covered his mouth and laughed wildly in ridicule.

"Guild? A lot of experiments, what do you think of human life?" Zorn murmured in a low voice, and finally said in a low voice.

"For what? Of course it's an experiment. Of course the experiment is uncontrollable. It doesn't matter." The cloaked figure replied in a nonchalant manner as if he was unaware of his emotions.

"It doesn't matter.."

When Zorn heard these words, strong emotions surged in his heart.

His heart beat like being hit by a heavy hammer, and his blood boiled in his veins.

His mind was filled with sparks of anger.

When he thought of those villagers who were innocently killed, and now there were other ordinary people in the same situation, the anger in his heart became even stronger.

"It's really hard to get rid of your anger, trash.

Are you ready for how you and your so-called guild will die?"

Zorn tried to calm down his tone, his eyes were like looking at a dead man looking at the cloaked man, who was covered in gold.

The magic power began to boil and surge, and the ground cracked instantly.
