Chapter 33: A Strange Magic Array
When Virgil arrived at the town mentioned on the task list, he was greeted with a bleak scene. The town that was supposed to be prosperous has become depressed and few people and animals. After some searching, Virgil went to the home of the mayor of the town, who was also the publisher of the mission.
After questioning, Virgil had a general idea of what kind of monster it was, the time it appeared, and his guesses about where it might exist. According to the mayor, the monster appeared at night and attacked the townspeople, so Virgil decided to spend the night in town to see if he could wait for the monster to appear. When Virgil asks to see the bodies of the slain, the mayor tells him that the bodies have been disposed of, but that he can't get any useful information from them.
I didn't know if it was because I was scared of Virgil or because I was resting. Anyway, Virgil kept watch all night in the town, but found nothing, so he had to prepare to go to the mountains to see what the mayor said was a suspicious place.
After wandering around the mountains all day, it was not until dusk that Virgil found a suspicious cave deep in the mountains. After observing the entrance of the cave for a while, there was nothing else to be gained except for the traces of people coming and going here. However, Virgil did not intend to dwell on this, and went directly to find out, which was more useful than anything else.
Walking slowly in this dark cave, feeling the fluctuation of magic at the end of this cave, Virgil knew that he had found the right one, although he didn't know if it was related to the monsters that attacked the town, but at least it was a strong clue.
As he walked, after turning a corner again, a dark shadow came with a gust of wind, but Virgil grabbed the weapon that was slashing at him, and then punched the guy who had sneaked up on him. A look at what had sneaked up on him surprised Virgil because of what he saw......

"You're a star spirit!?" Natsu looked curiously around Rocky. "You don't look like a cow or a horse!"
"Isn't the virgin spirit you know Natsu also human!"
"That's not right...... That guy is going to turn into a gorilla!"
"Rocky is the star spirit of the lion!" Lucy interjected.
"Lion!!" startled Natsu and Harpy.
Under Rocky's constant harassment, Lucy took out the key to the lion** and prepared to send Rocky back to the Star Spirit Realm.
"Wait a minute," he felt in his pocket, "here you go." ”
"Because I can't live in the human world for long, this was originally a ticket to the Paradise Hotel where I was going to invite my girlfriends together!" Rocky explained, "I've always been taken care of by you, and I've given you this!"
Several people who saw the reception tickets were excited. "I gave Elusa the voucher just now, and I wish you all a great journey!" Rocky said as he left.
"You guys are grinding something, don't you want to go!" said Elusa, who had changed her clothes and dragged over with a large pile of his luggage, looking at the people who were struggling there.
"She's so fast!!" Seeing Elusa's outfit made Lucy Gray very uncomfortable.
"If you don't want to go, leave the voucher and wait for Brother Virgil to come back and let him go with me!" said Elusa, glancing at a few people with bad intentions.
So a few people came to this beautiful beach and spent a pleasant day. Also with him was Zhu Bi'an, who secretly followed.
After a day of playing, a few tired people returned to the hotel to rest. Elusa was lying on a beach chair alone, closing her eyes and taking a nap.
"Anyway, what a happy day...... "Elusa thought slowly, drowsy.
Elusa...... There is no such thing as freedom in this world......"
Covered in a cold sweat, Elusa was awakened, dreaming of her childhood life there and her companions.
"Dreaming!When did I accidentally fall asleep......" walked into the house, looking at myself reflected in the window, beautiful face, charming and shy smile. I changed into the armor I usually wear. "Sure enough, it's more reassuring to wear armor...... For a woman like me, it's really helpless when you think about it. Elusa, who had changed her clothes, said to herself helplessly. "It's good that my brother is back!!" thought to himself.
"I heard there's a casino underground. Let's go check it out, shall we?" said Lucy cheerfully to Elusa.
"I'm not too interested in gambling. Elusa said indifferently.
"Natsu and Gray have already gone to play!" Lucy said with some frustration.
"I can't help it. As he spoke, he began to change his clothes. "So...... I'm willing to go......" Lucy complained.
"Is it appropriate to dress like this?" asked Elusa, dressed in a sexy evening dress, posing a sultry poss to Lucy.
"It's okay to dress up casually~~~," Lucy said helplessly. "By the way, how the hell did you take off that armor!" Lucy complained inwardly.
"If you want to play, you have to have fun, it's too rude to dress casually!"
"Alright, let's go!"
"It's not bad to do that once in a while...... Let yourself have a relaxing time...... And my brother is back!" Elusa thought as she looked at herself reflected in the window.

Watching the slain enemy scattered into a puddle of sand, Virgil felt a sense of foreboding, and he hurried towards the interior of the cave. When he arrived, he saw a sight of disbelief in the twilight. At the end of the cave was a hall, and the space of nearly a thousand square meters was filled with an evil magic, as well as hundreds of monsters of the same kind just now. In the middle of the hall was a huge magic array. The magic array, which was really different from the other magic arrays, was flashing with bursts of red light. Next to the magic circle stood a few cloaked magicians, really going on, some kind of ritual.
"There's a guest here!" said one of them. After speaking, he turned to look at Virgil, and at the same time commanded several monsters to walk towards Virgil.
"Bang Bang~~" A few shots smashed those monsters. "Who are you and what are you doing!" Virgil said to the men.
"The dead don't need to know that much!stop talking nonsense, kill him quickly!" the man in the middle said to Virgil, issuing orders to the others around him. Then the monsters in the hall, under their command, surrounded Virgil.
"Hmph......" Without saying a word, he shot and shot. Under Virgil's constant fire, the monsters couldn't get close. "Sword Array!" With a loud shout, Virgil threw the ebony & white ivory into the sky, put his hands together above his head, and when his hands were opened, a magic array appeared, and at the same time, countless phantom swords flew out, like a rain of phantom swords, and in a few breaths, the monsters that filled the hall were emptied. Although he wanted to attack the magicians, after several attacks were stopped, Virgil stopped caring about them.
"Now tell me what you want to do!" Virgil said, catching the falling ebony and white ivory, to the group.
"The experiment has failed! This defective product is not up to the mark!, and you will know our purpose later!" said one of the magicians in the middle to his companion, and when he turned his head to look at Virgil, he smiled at Virgil through his face under the cloak, "We'll see you later!"
When talking to him, Virgil felt bad, and when he tried to stop him, they flashed. "It's really fast!" said a helpless Virgil spinning his twin guns.
Walk up to the magic circle and take a closer look. After a few minutes, it was finally determined what it was.
"You can't be wrong! This is a magic circle that summons demons!"

After the mayor finished the mission, Virgil drove back to the fairy tail. However, when he arrived, Elusa and the others were not in the guild. After asking Mira, she learned about Rocky and learned that several people had gone on vacation. Hearing this, Virgil ran out without saying anything, which surprised Mira, and didn't understand why Virgil would react so much when he heard this!
However, Virgil hurried to eat, and when Virgil arrived, he saw a mess of underground casinos, as well as the trapped Lucy and the defeated Grenards. Elusa has been taken away by Xiu. After rescuing a few people, he rushed towards them with a few people.
"Gerald, if you dare to hurt him, I won't let you go!!" Virgil said heartily, looking into the distance.
