The true face

Erza walked quietly in the forest. He did not dare to be negligent. His right hand was placed on the hilt of his sword at any time. He was extremely vigilant. According to Phil, other than being extremely sensitive to magic power, the monster's ability to conceal itself was also extremely strong. It was almost impossible to find it. The only thing he could do was to spill the bait and lure the snake out of the hole.

As for the variety and other information about the monster, Phil did not know anything about it. This seemed to be an ordinary crusade mission, but in fact, the degree of danger and difficulty were also very high. Phil also said that if this monster was not cruel and attacked humans many times, he would not issue this mission to meddle in this kind of business.

"Now I hope that my magic power is lower than it..." However, Erza was extremely excited about this. Because she had just become S-Class Sorcerer not long ago and was at the time when she was most confident in her strength, she could not wait to complete a high-difficulty mission to prove herself.

Especially in front of Mira and Calvin, the two snakes and rats, she was as stubborn as a cow. Of course, Calvin did not have any ill feelings towards Erza, but because she was closer to Mira, she made Erza feel that Calvin was also Mira's henchman.

As she walked, there was no sign of any movement at all. After such a long time of vigilance, Erza gradually felt that her concentration was collapsing. She slowly began to be distracted and let her imagination run wild.

And the sneak attacker who was hiding in the dark was about to make a move.

A burst of magic emerged from behind. Erza immediately felt a fiery aura surging over them. But no matter what, she was S-Class Sorcerer who had passed the examination. Her armor instantly changed. The Flame Emperor Armor, which had high resistance to fire, immediately appeared on her body.

Without even thinking about it, she turned around and slashed back with a sword, the torrent of fire attacking her was split in two.

"Flames? Is it a fire attribute demon?" Erza's head spun rapidly, and she began to analyze the other party's background from the moment she came into contact with him.

However, a strong wind came from behind her head. Before she could see the figure behind the flames, her neck was heavily hit by a hand knife, and then a huge fist came towards her abdomen. Because the back of her neck was attacked, Erza's body was unable to react in time. The first hit hard, and the pain made Erza unable to help but retch.

After receiving so many heavy blows, even Erza's consciousness couldn't help but blur. She used the last of her strength to look at the person who attacked her. However, Erza didn't expect that the attacker was Phil who had just served her.

"Why... why?" Erza asked in a weak voice. However, Phil didn't answer her. Instead, he used magic to make Erza completely unconscious.

"I don't want to use such a despicable method either. Unfortunately, this old man is too old. If I fight you head-on, my chances of winning aren't high!" Phil held the unconscious Erza and said in a sad tone. Even so, his hidden joy still showed no action.

"However, although it is a woman's body, the quality is really beyond my expectations. Erza, you are more outstanding than I imagined!" Phil picked up the unconscious Erza and slowly walked to his big house. His thin body looked full of strength.

With such excellent material, I believe I can return to the peak soon. No! It should be said to be better than before! The name of the Great Flame Lion will shake the continent again! Hahaha... hahaha! A wild laughter rang out without restraint, and Phil did not hide his joy at all.

At the same time, Calvin looked at the masked man in front of him gloomily. He should not be called a masked man, because other than the strip of cloth on his face, he had a headscarf on his head and a loose cloak around his neck. Anyway, he could not see his true face at all. Except for his bright eyes, there was no information on him, not even magic power.

"So, who exactly are you?" Calvin said impatiently.

"I am Mystogan, who just joined not long ago."

The other person answered in a cold voice, but Calvin always sounded familiar.

"Oh! So you are the Mystogan they are talking about. I heard that every time you come, you use hypnosis magic to make everyone fall asleep. Then why did you appear in front of me?" Calvin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I heard that your attainments in magic arrays are very deep, so I want to ask you for a favor." Listening to Mystogan's words, Calvin felt that the familiarity became clearer and clearer. He was sure that he had heard this voice somewhere before.

"What favor? Tell me." As a result, Calvin became more and more curious about Mystogan's identity, and his vigilance also increased. As if he saw Calvin's distrust, Mystogan did not immediately tell him what he asked for, but instead pulled off his mask and scarf.

Unexpectedly, the hidden face was a famous person.

That face was the number one genius in the magic world, Siegrain.

"Hey, hey, hey! What is going on? I don't think that genius Siegrain will hide his identity and join us, Fairy Tail. Who are you?" Calvin's expression became serious. Unconsciously, his fingers had already caught Card of Summoning.

"My original name is Jellal. Since I will ask you for help, I will not hide anything. Listen to me slowly." Jellal completely did not care about Calvin's small movements. Instead, he told his story.

After a long time, his story was finished, and the matter of asking Calvin for help was finished.

"Wait, I am still a little confused. Is there another me in your world?" After listening to Mystogan's words, Calvin's face changed dramatically, looking completely unable to accept it.

"I know. It's hard for you to believe what I just said. But as long as you follow me to take a look at the' soul ', you will know that what I said is true." Mystogan said.

"Wait, you just said that the people of your world don't have any magic, right? Why can you use magic? And the degree is so high!" Calvin grabbed Mystogan's language disease and quickly asked.

"You must be a sorcerer with perception. Then you should be able to feel that there is no trace of magic in the root of my body!" Mystogan answered calmly without panic. "As for why I can use magic, this is all thanks to it."

As Mystogan spoke, he pulled out the wooden wand behind him. The wand looked ordinary, but Calvin could feel it was extraordinary.

"Although I don't have magic power, I can use this wand to draw a magic array, gather the magic particles in the air, and use magic."

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. But I don't know anything about that 'soul'. I'm not sure if I can help you. Besides, do you trust me so much?" Calvin relaxed a little and then asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, your mission is not difficult. After all, I am the one leading. As for trust in you, I came to a conclusion based on my observation of you. After all, you are the sorcerer that Fairy Tail is most reassured about, aren't you?"
