"What on earth happened?!"
"Why didn't the incantation work?!"
Eligoll was both shocked and furious. He examined the flute in his hand in disbelief. The three-eyed skull on the flute was still ferocious, but he could not sense any powerful magic in it.
Could it be... fake?
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and Eric Gor suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting like an arrow at Hope, who was hiding behind the three presidents, Makarov, Bob, and Goldman.
"It's you!"
"Lalabai is the one you entrusted to me!"
Eric Gor's roar instantly made Hope the center of attention in the room.
With a mocking smile on his face, Hope, under everyone's gaze, took out a wooden flute that looked exactly like the one in Eric's hand.
Eric instantly realized that he had been fooled by this seemingly harmless bartender!
The real Lalabai has always been in the bartender's hands. What he gave me before was just a fake made with magic!
"You dare to play me?!"
Hovering in mid-air, extreme anger made Ericoer's face so dark it was almost dripping with water. He gripped the fake flute tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Hope chuckled. "You only asked me to hand over Lalabai to you, you didn't say whether it had to be real or fake, so how can you say I'm playing you?"
"You bastard!"
To be made a fool of like a clown in front of so many people.
The intense sense of humiliation constantly assaulted Eric's nerves.
"You bastard! I'll tear you to pieces!"
The riotous magic, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, erupted from Ericoer's body, overturning the tables and chairs in the hall to pieces.
In an instant, countless sharp wind blades poured down like a torrential rain, covering a large area around Hope and blocking all possible evasion routes.
However, blinded by anger, Erigor seemed to have overlooked the presence of the guild master, especially the extremely protective old man, Makarov.
A pure white light emerged from the magic circle in Makarov's hand, easily engulfing the descending storm's murderous intent amidst various shimmering magical radiance.
However, Makarov and the other presidents did not continue to make moves; as elders, they couldn't possibly steal the limelight from the younger generation.
With a deafening explosion of magical collision, the battle between the "strongest squad" and Erigor began.
Chapter 15 The Unsealing of Lalabai
"Change gear! 'Heavenly Wheel Armor'!"
Under the watchful eyes of a crowd of perverts, Erza completed her magical girl transformation and soared straight into the sky towards Erigor.
A sword formation composed of more than a dozen longswords mercilessly shattered the huge blue wind blade. Amidst the clanging sounds, Erza, wielding a longsword, and Erigor engaged in a fierce weapon battle in the air.
The surrounding gale and sword formation also collided violently at the same time.
The Fairy Queen is famous, but Erigor's title of "Grim Reaper" is also earned through real battles, and his masterful "Wind Magic" is useful for both offense and defense.
Erza couldn't subdue him for the time being.
Using his superb wind magic to nimbly maneuver through the air, Erigor once again narrowly escaped Erza's encirclement and the sword array, while simultaneously unleashing massive wind blades to attack Erza as she pursued him.
"Hahaha! In the air, I am invincible! What can the Fairy Queen do to me?"
Erigor laughed triumphantly, completely unaware that Natsu, who had been carried away by Happy, had also joined the aerial battle.
"Don't get cocky! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
The burning fist slammed out, and the intense heat made Eligor's expression change. He quickly used magic to conjure a "storm coat" that covered his entire body.
The storm extinguished Natsu's flames instantly, and the strong wind pressure made it impossible for Natsu to get close to Erigor.
Although he had forced Natsu to retreat, Erigor, hidden beneath his storm coat, couldn't smile. He knew that Natsu's arrival had shattered the fragile balance between him and Erza.
It was already difficult enough to deal with just one Fairy Queen, and there was also an Ice-shaped Mage and a Card Mage below, constantly creating projectiles to interfere.
In front of them was the "Fairy Queen," behind them was the "Fire Dragon" Natsu eyeing them covetously, below them were the elite mages of Fairy Tail, and a group of guild leaders watching the show.
If we continue fighting, we will undoubtedly lose.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Erico immediately lost the will to fight. He gripped the scythe with both hands and poured a huge amount of magic into it.
"Storm - Chaotic Blades!"
Hundreds of wind blades, formed by air compression, condensed and rained down on Erza and Natsu like a storm, their sheer number blocking all their escape routes.
In the instant he managed to hold off Erza and Natsu, Erigor blurred into a streak of blue light, seemingly about to escape.
Suddenly, a voice reached his ears.
"Hey! Mr. 'Death,' do you still want your flute?" Hope appeared on the roof of the venue at some point, holding the real Lalabai flute in his hand.
Eric Gor's attention was instantly drawn to it, and when he saw the genuine article in Hope's hand, his anger surged again: "You brat! How dare you show your face again!"
Hope shook the flute and laughed, "I think this is very important to you, so I thought I'd give it to you. Here you go!"
As he spoke, he made a forceful upward throwing motion.
Eric Gor instinctively focused his gaze on Hope's hand, his attention momentarily diverted.
It's now!
"Change outfit—'Wind Emperor's Armor'!"
Erza instantly donned cyan armor to counter wind magic, her speed increased dramatically, and she charged towards Erigor, wielding the Stormbreaker.
"what?!"
By the time Erikor realized what was happening, it was too late. Erza's spear, imbued with sharp magical power, had already pierced through his protective storm coat.
He hastily raised his sickle to block.
But the immense force gathered by Erza's sprint forced him to maintain his balance and fall downwards.
"Natsu! Gray!" Erza shouted.
In fact, Erza didn't even need to remind him; Natsu, who was diving downwards, and Gray, who was making a starting gesture, had already seized the opportunity.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
"Ice Spring!"
The powers of fire and ice intertwined, and taking advantage of the moment when Erigor lost his balance, fire and ice magic simultaneously bombarded him from above and below.
"Ugh—!"
Eligoll screamed as his body was engulfed by the combined power of ice and fire. The scythe flew from his hand, and he plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the open ground outside the venue.
The three worked together seamlessly, ending the battle in the blink of an eye, which made Makarov nod repeatedly.
Eric lay on the ground, his chest charred black, blood gushing from his mouth, looking utterly miserable.
Despite being so badly injured, he should have fainted, but instead, he stared wide-eyed at Hope, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop of the venue. If it weren't for that damned bartender, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
I'm so unwilling...
Lord Zeref's masterpiece! I awaken you with my life; please avenge me...
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a purple sacrificial magic circle appeared on his forehead, sucking away all his life force.
When Erza came over to check with her gun, she noticed a strange smile on his face.
A strange sense of crisis welled up in Erza's heart.
......
......
On the rooftop of the venue, Hope looked at the Lalabai in his hand, which he hadn't even thrown, and smiled slightly, "Done. Now we don't need to drink a bottle of Kana's wine."
Just as he was about to go downstairs, the three eye sockets of the skull on the wooden flute in his hand suddenly lit up with an unusual dark purple light.
"Hope! Throw it away!"
Still confused, Hope heard Erza's voice and, without hesitation, threw the wooden flute forcefully into the sky not far away.
The moment it was released, the sealed wooden flute inexplicably began to expand, and at the same time, a huge magic circle enveloped it.
When it landed, it had transformed into a ferocious monster with three eyes and a massive body formed from twisted trees.
The Cursed Demon, Lalabai, has arrived!
Lalabai twisted its body, and its three demonic eyes all looked at Hope on the rooftop. After all, it was the last wish of the sacrifice that was to break its seal, so let's crush this ant to death.
The demon opened its massive maw, and a beam of light shot out from the spinning magic circle, instantly destroying the roof of the venue and slamming straight into the nearby mountain, instantly obliterating the entire mountain.
All of this happened too fast.
It happened so fast that even Makarov, one of the "Ten Wizard Saints," couldn't arrive in time to help.
Kana stared blankly at the scene. Hope, who had been smiling at her just moments before, was gone, even her body...
"Hey, hey, hey, are you going to drop your little pearls?"
"Let me be clear, no matter how much you cry, I won't invite you for drinks."
A familiar voice rang out, and Kana looked up at Hope flying in the air, gritting her teeth, "You wretched miser, you might as well just die!"
Chapter 16 The Powerful Demon
In mid-air, Hope looked somewhat disheveled, with her magical wings in disarray, but she herself was unharmed.
His combat awareness, honed in the previous world, allowed him to react at the last minute, using 'Wing Magic' in conjunction with 'Divine Footwork' to narrowly escape Lalabai's devastating magical ray.
"Speaking of which, is this the power of the 'Demon of the Book of Zeref'... How terrifying." Hope looked at the mountains that had disappeared in the distance, but there was no time for him to continue to sigh.
Seeing that the tiny human had not disappeared, Lalabai let out a piercing shriek.
Despite its enormous size, its movements were anything but slow. It swung its massive arms, made of twisted trees, with a fierce wind that tore through the air, and slammed them down on Hope in mid-air.
"Don't think about it!"
"Change gear! 'Black Feather Armor'!"
