Chapter 29 Arrives! Zeref's Demon, Spell Song!
In fact, Natsu had already woken up after Shirou Kotomine and the others left their carriage.
While suffering from severe motion sickness, he learned what had happened from Harpy.
When the train stopped again, Natsu quickly recovered and went to find Shirou Kotomine and the others, intending to join the battle.
Before he could take more than a few steps, the mages of the Iron Forest entered the carriage first and began to expel the passengers.
So they began to fight.
Natsu easily dealt with these henchmen.
Just as Natsu was about to continue, he suddenly saw Erza chasing after another figure as she flashed past outside the train.
Without the slightest hesitation, Natsu quickly gave chase.
However, he was ultimately a step too late.
When he arrived at Erza's side, they had already begun a fierce battle.
.
When Shirou Kotomine and Gray Lucy rushed to Erza's location, Erigor, known as the "Grim Reaper," was already lying on the ground, his fate unknown.
Shirou was not at all surprised by this.
Putting everything else aside, Erza alone is enough to take down Erigor.
The only thing that needs to be calculated is how much time is needed.
And this battle was not just about Erza.
Natsu followed suit and joined in.
Therefore, when Shirou Kotomine and the other two saw the rising flames, they had already foreseen this outcome.
"It seems everything is going smoothly."
He quickly approached Erza and Natsu, and said with a light laugh.
"Yes, everything is going very smoothly."
Erza nodded slightly.
A smile appeared on her face.
However, unlike his previous forced smile, his smile this time was genuine.
She was genuinely pleased that she had resolved such a troublesome matter for the president.
"Haha, although I don't know exactly what happened, I really enjoyed the fight this time."
I slept "peacefully" the whole way on the train.
An important battle is about to begin as soon as I wake up.
Natsu was indeed very happy.
After all, at this point, Eric Gor was still a rather difficult opponent for him.
He also grew a lot during the battle.
"You guys had a blast fighting, but we were just clearing out the grunts. There was no sense of accomplishment at all."
Gray complained unhappily.
He had originally planned to wait for Natsu to wake up and mock him for sleeping through the entire battle.
Unexpectedly, he still managed to catch it.
It is still the most important battle.
On the other hand, he mainly provided support to Shirou Kotomine during the battle.
This comparison quickly made him unhappy.
Actually, I feel pretty good.
Unlike Gray, Lucy felt a great sense of accomplishment.
She originally saw herself as someone who came to mediate the fight.
After all, this squad was called Fairy Tail's strongest squad by Mirajane.
But now she has played a role in the battle.
This filled her with a sense of accomplishment.
"Speaking of which, was that your magic over there, Shirou? Even though it was just from a distance, the scene was still amazing."
Erza asked curiously.
"That is indeed my magic; it's what I rely on."
Shirou Kotomine planted his staff in the ground and explained.
"So you're a holder-type after all."
Erza nodded.
Although she knew beforehand that Shirou Kotomine was famous for his close combat skills and healing magic, the staffs behind him were all masterpieces.
She, who also uses magical items in battle, can easily make judgments.
Therefore, she guessed that Shirou Kotomine must have other strengths.
Like her other armors, it will always remain a mystery until it actually appears.
.
After some casual conversation, Shirou Kotomine and the others gradually quieted down.
Gradually, their focus shifted to the magic flute in Grey's hands.
"Based on the intelligence we gathered before, Iron Forest had already collected the spell song, but it was sealed, preventing them from using it."
"So, the mage named Kagayama that we met on the train later must have been the mage who carried the incantation to break the seal."
"His return this time should mean that the seal on the curse song has been broken, and Erigor and the others are preparing to take action."
At this point, Erza frowned slightly.
After all, Iron Forest's target is their guild leader, Makarov.
"So our most urgent task is to quickly go to the chairman's meeting, hand over this item to the chairman, and let the chairman find a way to reseal it."
Everyone present agreed with Erza's plan.
Kotomine Shirou nodded as well.
This is indeed the most important thing they should be doing right now.
After all, none of them understood sealing magic.
Entrusting this matter to the most knowledgeable chairman, Makarov, is naturally the right choice.
But Shirou Kotomine didn't think that Jugo would allow them to do that.
Kotomine Shirou has already remembered.
That spell, known as the Magic Flute, is a living thing!
Sure enough, just as Shirou Kotomine and his group were about to head towards the train station, led by Erza,
The flute held in Gray's hand suddenly released terrifying magic.
"What's going on!"
Suddenly, Gray's palm was burned by the magic of the flute, and he instinctively released his grip and shouted loudly.
Attracted by the commotion on Gray's side, Shirou Kotomine and the others quickly turned around.
But what appeared before them next was a wood-like structure that was expanding.
Its origin lies in the magic flute chant.
"What a bunch of useless people, they can't even handle these simple tasks, they're utterly worthless."
"As expected, in the end I still had to do it myself."
"Let me devour your souls!"
The incantation, originally the size of a flute, quickly transformed into the form of a demon.
Furthermore, its body is incredibly large.
Its body, resembling the orderly arrangement of an ancient tree, is several tens of meters tall.
Standing tall on the ground, Juka looked down at Kotomine Shirou and the others with a contemptuous expression.
Looking up from below, the scene was indeed horrifying.
"What is this?!"
"Monster!"
"This is way too big!"
Looking up at this scene, even the well-informed Fairy Tail mages were filled with astonishment.
They had never witnessed such a scene before.
"Looks like this is the final boss of our mission!"
Unfasten the straps on your back, remove the other two staffs that were strapped to your back, and then place them beside you.
Having prepared himself mentally beforehand, Shirou Kotomine was the first to get ready for battle.
It's not some Iron Forest, nor is it the Grim Reaper Erigor.
The monster that Shirou Kotomine has always wanted to fight is the one in front of him, Zeref's demon.
Incantation!
