The strength of the Gates of Hades is very strong, this Makarov knows very well. Both the total destruction of the Council and the defeat of Laxus made Makarov realize the strength of the Gates of Hades.

But in order to ensure that as many councilors as possible could rescue the councillors and make the plan run smoothly, Makarov had to divide his guild children into troops.

Mira and Elusa's team.

Elfman and Lisanna's team.

Gajiru with the 'Lane Engine'.

Natsu and Wendy's squad.

Macao Squad.

Kana Squad.

These squads numbered from a dozen to Elusa and Mira, but in order to ensure the normal functioning of the guild, this was already the largest number that could be sent.

And with Virgil's presence there can be reinforcements at any time, but there is still a danger in this. After some careful consideration, Makarov gave up on Fairy Tail's plan to harden the gates of Hades alone, and chose to ask his old buddies for help.

……

"No, we're late, the enemy should have left long ago. Gray reported to Makarov with a heavy face, "Moreover, not only Elder Hogg, but even the people of this village have been killed. ”

"I didn't expect ......" Makarov's face was ugly, he didn't expect that he had been so decisive, and he still hadn't caught up.

"The whole village was shattered and the damage was terrible. Zhu Bi'an said with a sad face, "What should we do next?" ”

"Come back, thank you for your hard work. Makarov didn't mean to blame, he knew that the two had done their best to get on the road, and that the mission failure was not their fault.

With the departure of several rescue teams, half a day has passed, and in addition to the two Gray who have already arrived, Elusa and Mira are gradually approaching their destination.

Lisana and Elfman led the group to a mountain village, the village where their target, Elder Yuri, lived in seclusion. However, when they arrived, all they were left with was Elder Yuri's body.

"No, I'm not breathing. Elfman examined it and put down Elder Yuri's body, "Lisanna has prepared the communication crystal, it's time to report to the president." ”

"How the hell did he get killed, there was not a single external injury. "Elder Yuri died peacefully, and if it weren't for the fact that he had lost his vital signs, he looked like he was asleep.

"Woohoo!!" Just as Elfman was lying on his stomach beside Elder Yuri's corpse to examine, Elder Yuri, who had already been confirmed dead by him, suddenly opened his eyes.

This sudden paranormal event scared Elfman so much that even a tough guy like him couldn't stand the sudden attack and screamed.

"You...... Elder Yuri, aren't you dead?" Elfman was no longer afraid after taking a breath of relief, after all, he was also a magician who had experienced strong winds and waves. If it weren't for the fact that he had been looking for some clues to provide enough information for Fairy Tail's subsequent battle with the Gates of Hades, he would have been too serious when examining the corpse, otherwise Elder Yuri would not have been able to scare him even if he had really turned into a zombie and came back to life.

Elder Yuri, who suddenly 'came to life', did not pay attention to Elfman beside him, but sat up stiffly, and slowly raised his hand to Lishana on the side. A flash of magic flashed, and the communication crystal that Lisana was hanging on her body was blown to pieces.

"Communication Crystal...... What have you done......" Elfman shouted, but before he could finish his sentence, Elder Yuri collapsed to the ground again.

"Sure enough, it's not as easy to order a corpse as a living person. An unfamiliar voice came from behind Elfman.

"Who are you?"

"Did you hurt Elder Yuri?"

The sudden sound caused Elfman and the others to take their attention away from Elder Yuri, and when they looked in the direction from which the voice came from, they found that they were surrounded by people who had come with them.

Elfman and the others could see that the surrounding companions were still more conscious, and they could see that they seemed to want to remind themselves, but they no longer seemed to be able to control their bodies except for their eyeballs.

"Are you from the Gates of Hades, what have you done to them!" Elfman shouted angrily, loudly to the woman who came out.

This is a beautiful woman with a good figure, wearing a short gray leopard print kimono that is revealing except for a pair of huge horns on her head that is indistinguishable from the human type.

"Human storytelling is really boring. The unknown woman ignored Elfman's questioning and walked out of the room talking to herself, completely ignoring the two guarded men.

"Lisana, she's coming! Do what you want!" Elfman stared at the careless enemy, although it was not clear what tricks the other party had, but it was up to her to control her companions quietly, at least the other party had the magic of controlling humans or hypnosis.

However, it didn't matter, it wasn't in their plan to go head-to-head with the enemy. It can be said that except for Natsu, who has a brain and will go up to shoot first no matter what enemy he encounters, everyone else will choose to call someone when they encounter this situation.

Now they just had to survive the time when Virgil came to their aid.

"Huh?!"

"Brother Elfman?!"

Just as the two were guarding against each other's magic, Elfman's right hand suddenly moved on its own and rested on Lisanna's delicate neck.

"Lisanna!!my body!!" Elfman's strong right arm choked Lisanna's neck fiercely, causing the unsuspecting Lishana to agony.

"Stop!" This feeling of hurting his family evoked the gloom in Elfman's heart, this was how he hurt his family back then, and the victim was also Lisanna, this double blow made him almost desperate, and tears gradually filled his eyes.

The woman looked at Elfman in despair with an indifferent expression, his tears, his pleading, could not affect her in the slightest to continue to control him to hurt her family. It seems that this human tragedy is the best performance for her.

However, compared to Elfman, who has fallen into chaos, it is the victim Lishana who is much calmer. After all, her distress signal had been sent, Virgil was definitely coming, and now she just had to hold on.

Virgil, who had high hopes from Lisanna, didn't let her wait long, and a silver light pierced the space and passed between her and Elfman, directly hitting the enemy who controlled Elfman.

And just after the enemy was hit, the magic that controlled Elfman and the others was also lifted, which greatly relieved Lisanna, who was choked by the neck.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't late. Virgil pinned his enemies to the wall with the Enma Knife in one hand and greeted Lisanna as she sat on the ground.

Virgil felt that he had come fast enough, except for the fact that it took a little effort to locate Lisanna's position, without a single delay.

"Huh~~ I can't be in time in time, and I was saved by you again. Lisanna, who breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly said to Virgil, "This enemy has the magic to control people, and Brother Elfman and everyone were controlled by her just now. ”

"Alas...... Really?" said Virgil as he looked at the enemy he had pinned to the wall, and his eyes changed for a moment.
