"What kind of monsters live on this island?!"

Cana and Lucy fled in despair, pursued relentlessly by a monster that was neither a crocodile nor a lizard.

Gajeel and Levy, who met by chance behind a giant rock, were filled with terror.

Sirius Island is home to many strange magical creatures: enormous flocks of birds, upright monsters like whales, and ferocious giant wild boars...

Although none of them individually pose a threat, their sheer numbers are overwhelming. They can suddenly emerge from the forest and catch you off guard.

Even Gajeel didn't dare to be reckless. After taking down a few monsters, he got separated from Sarusuk while escaping and unexpectedly met Levy, who had also gotten separated from her partner.

As for the two sycophants, I wish them good luck.

However, better luck than hiding well. Just as Gajeel and Levy breathed a sigh of relief, a monster that looked like a dinosaur emerged from the forest in front of them.

Six eyes met.

Then......

"Don't block my way!!"

A flaming fist knocked the monster down with a single punch. Natsu and Happy didn't even glance at Gajeel and Levy, and ran forward without stopping.

Behind him, a large group of all sorts of monsters chased after him in a flurry of activity.

"How...how did this guy manage to offend so many people...?"

Gajeel admired Natsu's ability to pull monsters, but unfortunately these monsters were tough and thick-skinned, and even with Natsu, him, and Levy, they couldn't clear the field.

After watching Natsu leave, Levy mustered her courage and approached the monster who had been knocked down with a single punch. "Um... do you know where the graves are on this island?"

"Don't waste your time, it's not human."

As soon as Gajeel finished his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), he saw the dinosaur monster think about what to say.

"I have no idea......"

"It actually spoke!!"

Gajeel was dumbfounded. He never expected that the monster in front of him could not only understand human speech, but also speak human language.

Levy soothed the dinosaur and said to Gajeel with an expression that seemed to be used to it, "We've seen talking cats before, what's so surprising about a talking dinosaur?"

Although they couldn't get information about the location of Mebius's tomb, the dinosaurs told them another piece of news.

These large magical creatures usually live in the northeast of Sirius Island, but recently they have instinctively sensed a deadly presence approaching their habitat, so they have all left.

Levy and Gajeel exchanged a glance. Seeing the curious glint in each other's eyes, Gajeel scratched his face helplessly. "What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me? Do you think I'd miss out on such an exciting adventure?"

"That's quite a tsundere statement," Levy smiled slightly.

Since it was still early, they weren't in a hurry to find Mebius's grave, so they set off northeast of Sirius Island.

They encountered no more monsters along the way. As they ventured deeper into the forest, they came across a man sleeping under a large tree.

The man had short black hair and a handsome face. He wore a black robe with a white cloth wrapped around it, and even when he was asleep, he exuded a melancholy aura.

Gajeel didn't sense any magical energy from the man, assuming he had wandered onto Tenrou Island by mistake. He went over and shook him awake, "Hey! Get up! You're not allowed to sleep here!"

The man slowly opened his eyes, and the instant he saw the person in front of him and the petite girl not far away, his eyes were filled with panic and confusion. He pushed Gajeel away.

"No! Don't come near me!"

"You bastard..."

Gajeel's temper flared up, but Levy pulled him back, looking warily at the flustered stranger. "This is our guild's sacred ground. How did you get in?"

Because he had only recently joined the guild, Gajeel was unaware that the first and second guild masters had placed a special restriction on Tenrou Island, allowing only Fairy Tail members to enter.

But this guy, who seemed to have no magical energy fluctuations, was able to get in just like that. He must be no ordinary person to be able to pass through the restrictions.

"guild?"

The man seemed to understand something and said with a start, "I see. This beautiful island is under your guild's jurisdiction. I'm sorry, I'll leave immediately."

But Gajeel, reminded by Levy, wouldn't let him leave so easily. "Hey! We haven't answered your questions yet! Explain yourself right now, how did you get here?!"

Seeing Gajeel about to approach again, the man hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, repeating his previous words, "I'm sorry, I'll be leaving soon, so please don't come any closer..."

Gajeel and Levy were puzzled by the other person's strange words and actions, but they were certain that this person really did not know that he had accidentally entered Tenrou Island, and had no hostility towards them whatsoever.

Levy finally lowered her guard. "We're currently taking tests on Sirius Island, so we can't see you off. You can go to our camp to the east..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, the man clutched his head, his face contorted in pain. "Tianlang Island...this is actually Tianlang Island! Her home..."

"No...no good..."

Gajeel was a little confused. "Is this guy out of his mind? Should we send a signal to call the guild master?"

Levy nodded in agreement and prepared to send the emergency contact spell into the sky.

Suddenly, as if startled, the man shouted, "Run...run! The Death Hunt...is coming..."

The next second, an extremely pure dark magic burst forth from the man's body, and the spreading magic instantly transformed into death energy.

Flowers and plants wither, trees die, and the earth cracks...

In an instant, devastation was everywhere. All life forms that came into contact with that strange energy were mercilessly devoured, and even the air was filled with the putrid smell of death.

All of this happened so fast that Gajeel only had time to shield Levy behind him, trying to use his body to block this terrible "death hunt".

Levy's eyes reddened as she was held tightly in the arms, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a figure descended from the sky and held the two of them back, preventing them from being harvested by the death energy.

"Natsu! Are you guys alright?!"

Harpy's worried voice came from the sky.

Natsu, who saved Gajeel and Levy, did not respond. Flames of rage ignited on his body as he stared intently at the stranger who had nearly harmed his companions.

Faced with Natsu's angry gaze, the man actually shed a tear, his slightly trembling voice carrying a hint of joy.

"Natsu..."

Chapter 215 Black Mage

"Does this person know you? Fire Dragon."

Gajeel helped Levy up from the ground and looked at Natsu, who was blocking them from behind, "And where did you come from?"

Happy landed slowly and explained, "We originally wanted to fly to the top of Tenrou Island to make it easier to find the First Generation's grave, but suddenly Natsu came this way."

"That's because I smelled a chilling aura." Natsu's attention remained fixed on the black-robed man opposite him.

"The surrounding trees and flowers have all withered."

"It's your bastard's magic, isn't it!"

"Although I don't know you, this is our guild's sacred ground. Get out of here right now!"

The man looked at the angry, cherry-haired boy, seemingly ignoring his order to leave, and said to himself, "You've grown up. I really missed you... Natsu."

"So who the hell are you, you bastard?!"

Natsu finally lost his temper. He had focused all his intelligence on fighting and hated it when people played riddles with him. Was it so hard to just tell him his name?

For some reason, Natsu couldn't control himself and threw a powerful punch, sending the man in black robes rolling on the ground several times.

"He actually attacked someone directly... That was so sudden!"

Gajeel's subconscious retort drew a nod of agreement from Levy, who also felt that Natsu had acted too impulsively just now. Although he was always reckless, he would never be so emotional.

Natsu also realized that something was wrong with him for a moment.

His body's instincts told him to kill the man in black, but his mind inexplicably felt a little fondness for him. This complex feeling ultimately led him to throw a punch, but without any magic enchantment.

The man in black robes knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, exuding an aura of sorrow.

Still not working...?

I don't want any more lives to die because of me...

Natsu is the only one who can stop me...

But why can't even Natsu destroy me...?

As expected... as expected, I couldn't escape the clutches of that curse...

"Is he crying?"

"Did you go too far?"

"Don't joke around, that guy almost killed both of us!"

"This person is really strange..."

Sorrow, resentment, regret, and helplessness intertwined in the black-robed man's heart, and a terrifying power erupted within him once again.

In the next instant, an even larger, more evil, and more terrifying strange energy surged forth again, centered on the man in the black robe.

A black, magical fluctuation, eerily taking lives.

The Death Hunt has begun!

And this kind of impact cannot be avoided by simply lying down.

Sensing the extraordinary power, Natsu immediately turned around and shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"

Gajeel, having recovered from his shock, hoisted Levy onto his shoulder, grabbed the stunned Happy with one hand, and sprinted at full speed, death energy clinging to his feet.

Natsu, however, had already been pierced through by that terrible power.

After a large area of ​​vegetation withered, Happy, regaining his senses, recklessly lunged at the figure in the center of the field, shouting, "Natsu! Are you alright?!"

"I am fine."

Natsu pushed aside the surrounding smoke, and despite the power that could instantly kill, he survived unharmed.

Strangely, Natsu's white scarf, which he never parted with, had turned completely black.

Seeing the gift his adoptive father had given him ruined like this, Natsu was instantly enraged. "They actually ruined the scarf Igneel gave me..."

Happy scratched his cat face. "Maybe it was Igniel's scarf that protected you."

"It happened!"
