When Virgil returned to the hotel, it was already late at night, and after stopping outside Lucy's door for a half-moment, he heard steady breathing from inside the house, and Virgil understood that she was still asleep and did not know about her sneaking away.

Back in the room, hanging the coat on the hanger, looking at this dress that was wearing emotion, was hung out, Virgil was very unhappy. I took off my vest and threw it on the chair, and I went to bed without washing.

"Uh~ah~~" With a long yawn, Lucy rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room. "Ahh

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and then we'll go. Virgil greeted Lucy and headed downstairs.

"Hmm!" Lucy cheered up when she heard that there was something to eat, and she answered and followed.

--------- my --------- is ---------- divided ---------- -------- lines-------

"Have you eaten?" said Virgil, holding a cup of hot cocoa with white smoke in his hand, to Lucy, who was sitting across from him. "Once you've eaten, you can go to work. Your mission is to investigate the base of the Magic Order from before. Questions?"

"Aren't we going together?" asked Lucy.

"That base has been discovered, and there should be no one left. It's just a routine thing to let you go, do you want me to go with you for this kind of thing?ah!?" Virgil said lightly, "Or do you want to pay the rent!"

"I'm sorry, I'll go right away. Lucy said with a look of reluctance and embarrassment on her face. "And what are you going to do?" asked Lucy curiously.

"Wait!" said Virgil flatly, raising his glass to Lucy as he saw her off. "Remember to call the sheriff! Go early and come back early, and let me know as soon as there is any news. ”

"Humph!" he left the restaurant with a sad face.

Of course, Virgil will not just wait here, and when Lucy leaves, Virgil will put his perception to the maximum, to sense the place where the demonic power is strongest. However, this town has been eroded by the Magic Order for too long, and the Order released the summoned demons to capture humans a while ago, allowing the demons to wander around the town, and as a result, there is a more or less demonic aura left all over the town, and now the demonic power is everywhere, which makes Virgil's perception very difficult.

As for letting Lucy investigate the base, it was just an excuse to pay Lucy, otherwise there would be no way to give her the reward if she didn't do a little work. And that base has been cleaned up by Virgil, so there shouldn't be any danger. Even if there are demons, demons of that level, as long as Lucy is not stupid, she can easily handle it.

After taking the last sip of cocoa, I carefully tasted the taste of the desserts in this shop, and I always felt that it was not as good as Harughion. Virgil and Elusa share a sweet tooth, but in different directions. Elusa loves cakes, while Virgil has a penchant for desserts like cookies. Cultivating this interest seems to be using this sweet feeling to suppress the pain caused by the experience of childhood, and as a result, it can no longer be separated over time.

Then Virgil also left the restaurant. Constantly wandering around the town, constantly perceiving the changes in the demonic power, perceiving the places in this town where the demonic power is relatively strong.

Although this town has become a bit deserted due to the relationship of that order, and Virgil is more convenient to search, the area of this town is still not small, and there are many places to explore, so after walking around the city for a day, Virgil has only identified a few places where the demonic power is relatively strong. Then, after screening again, the most likely target was determined.

"That bastard, let me go to work, and I don't know where I went. When Virgil returned to the hotel, Lucy had already returned, speaking ill of Virgil to her star spirit Pru.

"I heard what you just said. Virgil silently walked behind Lucy and suddenly spoke.

"Ah...... Ha...... Ha ha...... You must have heard it wrong, it's all an illusion. Lucy smiled awkwardly.

Virgil smiled faintly and ignored her, "Let's go, it's time to go on a mission." If all goes well, it'll be over tonight. With that, Virgil walked out.

"Have you found the stronghold of the Magic Order?" Lucy said incredulously.

"Well, there is an object of suspicion. Now I'm going to check it out. Virgil replied. The two talked, and after a while they came to the sheriff's office and called the sheriff to go with them to investigate.

Virgil's group of five first came to the location that Virgil thought was the most likely. It was a valley about five or six miles away from the town. Virgil found here quite a strong demonic power, and quite violent fluctuations in magical power. When Virgil first perceived it, if he hadn't worried about only looking for it in the city, it would be impossible to say whether he would have found this place at that time.

When several people cautiously approached them, they saw a scene that they would never forget, and they no longer doubted the credibility of Virgil's words. Of the five, except for Virgil and the barely okay sheriff, Lucy and the two soldiers threw up. What appeared before them was a hellish scene of Shura, the people of the Magic Order, slaughtering the townspeople, men, women, and children, like cattle, and letting their blood flow into a huge and strange magic circle in the center of the valley. The strange magic array was glowing with scarlet light, and as the blood increased, the light tended to grow stronger and stronger.

In the glow of light, a humanoid monster wearing a cloak with a huge scythe appeared in the magic array from time to time. When Virgil and the others peeked from a distance, hundreds of different monsters had been summoned in the magic array, but a few people except Virgil didn't know what these monsters were, and although Virgil knew, it was not easy to tell them about this kind of demon that should not appear in this world.

Virgil looked at the summoned demons, most of which were low-level demons such as the 'Seven Deadly Sins', and there were no other high-level demons, and the type was very single. Even the absence of the Grim Reaper from last night made Virgil very strange.

"Mr. Virgil, let's go back and find someone to destroy this place once and for all. The sheriff suggested to Virgil.

"When you come back and are in action, you're ready to collect the bodies of these people. Virgil said coldly.

Before he could finish his words, ......he was interrupted by Virgil.

"Go back and ask for help, just leave it to us Fairy Tail here. Virgil said lightly. "Lucy, let's go!"

When Virgil and Lucy rushed out, they were immediately spotted by the guards. The magicians immediately drove the demons to attack Virgil and Lucy.

"Be careful and take care of yourself. Virgil exhorted Lucy, and he rushed over first. Pulling out ebony and white ivory, the two spears continued to spew tongues of fire, shattering the demons one by one.

"Okay, I'll come too!Open the door of the Taurus Palace!" Seeing that Virgil had already started fighting, Lucy also summoned Taurus to join the battle. In the face of these demons who are clearly using melee combat as a means of attack, Taurus with strong melee destructive power is undoubtedly the most suitable. Between his wide open and closing slashes, neither arrogance nor ** can get close.

"That's too much, isn't it!" Virgil, who had killed no less than two hundred demons, was very surprised that there were so many demons here, which was obviously more than the demons he had found when he observed just now. And the discovery that the magic array no longer summons demons made Virgil even more strange.

"Ahh Several lazy slaths suddenly teleported to her side, causing her, who had no ability to fight independently, to scream.

"Bang bang~~" A few gunshots rang out, and when Lucy came back to her senses, the demons had turned into scattered sand. Although Virgil was still fighting in the distance, he was still paying attention to the situation on Lucy's side, so as soon as the demon teleported, Virgil gave them a few shots and helped Lucy out of the siege.

"Concentrate on the fight!" Virgil interrupted Lucy's words of thanks.

--------- my --------- is ---------- divided ---------- -------- lines-------

"Bastard!" scolded a cloaked man standing on the edge of the magic array, "These demon cannon fodder can't stop those two magicians!"

"Hurry up! Speed up mana! Speed up bloodletting!" he yelled at his men. After saying that, he personally walked to the edge of the magic array and joined the work of summoning demons. "A powerful demon must be summoned!"
