Chapter 82: A Pack of Wolves Encircles and Suppresses
"Natsu, Gray! Go find the two demons you defeated immediately and bring them back to the tavern! Erza, let's go back to the tavern immediately! Lucy and the others might be in danger!"
"What's wrong?" The inexplicable order made Natsu and Gray completely confused. "Isn't the battle over?"
Fortunately, Erza reacted immediately: "You mean, the remaining demon will devour his three companions?"
This statement made Natsu shout in shock and anger, "How could it be?! They are companions!"
"Natsu, they are demons!" Gray accepted it quickly and pulled Natsu towards the direction where Snoi and Fergus flew away, with Happy following closely behind.
"Wait...let me go Gray! I'm going to..."
Natsu's voice in the distance became smaller and smaller, but Kira ignored it and directly put wings on Erza beside him, and the two flew towards the tavern.
Kira's guess was correct. When Ace saw that Snoi and Ferge were defeated, he knew that he had no way to deal with these four people for the time being, so he decisively chose to retreat.
Devouring the Sea Demon King did bring him a great boost, especially in his physical fitness, turning him from a demon specializing in magic into a demon proficient in both magic and combat.
"Absolute Freeze is indeed a magic left by the gods. Its disappearance attribute almost wiped out the Sea Demon King's vitality and magic power."
After leaving the battlefield, he immediately found the dying Ferg and Snoyi, revealed his true face in front of their shocked gazes, and then ruthlessly sucked them dry!
"In terms of quality, it is indeed much more delicious than the 'coarse grains' I ate before; but in terms of quantity, it is far from comparable!"
With the magic of demon cannibalism in hand, it is certainly not the first time that Ace has devoured his own kind, which is one of the reasons why he has been able to live so long! "Sure enough, without the precipitation of cannibalism, the quality of ordinary demons cannot be compared with that of the Sea Demon King! But... something is better than nothing!"
In the beginning, Ace did intend to treat these guys as companions, but now, since the power of the Sea Devil is not as expected, he can only treat these little brothers as his "rations"!
"Damn humans, they ruined my years of planning! Fortunately, there is still time. I still have a chance to win the other half of the victory."
Ace was in a very upset mood at this time, because the plan he had been planning for many years was only less than half completed. First, Silver came unexpectedly and killed the water demon Walter, and was taken over by someone else after his death; then people from Fairy Tail arrived, defeated and captured the cloud demon Klaue; now this group of humans actually came to his door, which was simply too much!
"The only one left is the 'traitor'!"
…
In order to complete his plan to devour the Sea King, Ace had the Snow Demon Snoi and the Fog Demon Fogg lure away the other wizards at the very beginning.
When he noticed that Kira and his men had arrived at the gate of the base, he used all his strength to display the "Beast Control Technique" and drove all the snow wolves under his command to attack the Forget-Your-Trouble Tavern with all their might, attempting to bring Klaue back.
The so-called art of controlling beasts is a kind of magic that can drive life.
The founder and the time of creation are no longer traceable, but it has been hundreds of years at least. After hundreds of years of improvement and evolution, this magic has produced many similar magics, among which there are those that can control humans, those that can control non-human life forms, and even those that can control dragons!
But the most commonly used method is to control animals and monsters. The beast controlling technique that Ace has mastered is one of them.
As long as a small amount of body tissue and magic power is integrated into the body of a magical beast, and then cloned through secret techniques, a group of obedient and powerful magical beasts can be cultivated. This large group of snow wolves in Zonia was created by Ace using this magic.
At this time in the snow, thousands of snow-white wolves surrounded the Forget-Sorrow Tavern. Cana, Lucy, Rocky, and Elfman, who were passively fighting, could only guard one direction each, waiting for Kira and others to end the battle as soon as possible and come back to support them.
"Damn it! It never ends!"
Although the Five Elements Formation is powerful, its magic power will eventually run out. Facing these endless enemies, Kana dare not try to use her own magic power to activate those powerful cards that have no stored magic power.
Therefore, she went back to using the cards with lower consumption that she had used before. Of course, after all, they were made by Kira, so in terms of strength alone, they were enough to deal with this situation .
On the other hand, Lucy has not yet unlocked the power of the Celestial Clothes, so she still has to rely on the Celestials to fight.
Faced with this situation of a pack of wolves charging at her, Lucy, who was unable to open the double doors, found it very difficult to cope with it, and could only rely on Taurus, Taurus, to put up a tenacious resistance.
"Come on! Talos!" Lucy hid by the wall and boosted morale.
"Ohhhh!! For Miss Lucy!! Moo!"
Swish! A shout and an axe strike.
Although there are many enemies in front of him, for the sake of his beloved Miss Lucy, Talos, the muscular cow who is the guardian of the star spirit, can fight until he falls!
boom!
Elfman, who had just recovered from a serious injury, barely supported his body, using the Beast King's Wrist Skill that he had used for more than ten years to knock away the giant wolves in front of him one after another.
"Phew! I'm risking my reputation as a man and I won't let you take even a single step forward!"
There seemed to be something wrong with this group of demon wolves! They were different from the wolves they had faced before, but what exactly was the difference?
Although Elfman is now a muscular man, he was once a gentle man who was very considerate, so he keenly noticed the abnormality of the wolf pack.
In the last direction, the ring in Rocky's hand kept emitting flash attacks, and the wolves were pierced one by one by the oncoming beams of light like barbecued meat, and finally fell down in rows.
"What's going on? These guys' attack methods are completely random. Don't they have a wolf king?"
Among the four, Rocky should be the one who has both combat experience and wisdom, so he quickly discovered things that the others did not.
"If the wolf king is not here, then who do they obey? And how can they be repelled?"
Wolves are highly organized animals and often advance and retreat according to the orders of the wolf king. Without the orders of the leader, they will not retreat even if they fight to the last wolf, unless the wolf king dies.
Therefore, the best way to repel the wolf pack is to kill the wolf king!
"Based on what Natsu and the others encountered yesterday, the wolves should be following the orders of those demons!" Rocky analyzed while fighting, "So they are here to rescue the demon inside! I can only hope that Kira and the others can deal with the remaining three demons as soon as possible. I can't hold on any longer!"
Who would have thought that Rocky would be the first to become powerless among the four!
After the battles on Karna Island and in the two missions this time, his strength was about to be exhausted, and there was really not much time left! Now, he was completely relying on Kira's ring to hang on to the last bit of strength!
Another golden light flashed by, and Rocky smiled bitterly again: "Really, if I had known I wouldn't have followed you!"
…
The demon base. After Kira took Erza away, only a small figure was left here.
Winter was left here alone!
"Damn it! That guy! He actually went back without taking me with him. He must have done it on purpose!"
Winter sulked as he ran down with his short legs, taking two steps as one.
While jumping, he calculated: if there are 10,000 steps in a staircase, and you can jump down one or two steps at a time, how many to jump down? And how long will it take?
BANG! Winter's little fist hit the wall!
Of course, she was not angry because she couldn't think of how many ways to jump, but because she knew that the tavern and her uncle were in danger, but she was not around.
"I shouldn't have followed you. I can't help anyway!"
With a crack, the wall cracked.
"Huh? Did I use that much strength just now?"
Even a thousand-year-old mountain was inevitably covered with scars after the battle between the three Fairy Tail Kings of Destruction. Now, it was hit by Winter's punch and collapsed immediately!
"What's going on?!" Winter's hair stood on end as he saw the cracks on the wall extending to the stairs below him. "Could it be that their fight broke the support point of the mountain?"
Before he could figure this out, the stairs under his feet suddenly broke apart, revealing a huge abyss dozens of meters below!
"ah!!!!"
