In the western part of the Kingdom of Fiore, deep in the seaside jungle, a small village that has been isolated from the world all year round was suddenly found in ruins by chance, and the surrounding lush woods were also largely dead, and birds and beasts were extinct, just like a scene of natural disasters in the last days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Many of the hunters in the vicinity of the area were also missing, and no one returned with the town's guards who had come to investigate, so the mayor immediately submitted an investigation directly to the Magic Council.

The commissioner sent by the council headquarters is also gone, and under the investigation of the prophetic magic, the council is surprised to find that this incident is actually related to that Jelf! The legendary dark archmage Jelf, just by virtue of the demons he left behind in the magic book, the demons produced by the world are enough to be called a natural disaster! Every time Jelf's demons are born, it will set off a bloody storm, even S-class missions cannot describe the difficulty of crusading against these demons, the most recent one is Daliora in the north of the kingdom, since the birth of more than a year in a row to destroy hundreds of villages and towns, the Council immediately issued S-class crusade missions and increased the reward and bounty one after another, but the guilds in the north were all wiped out, and they were powerless to challenge the terrible demon, almost forcing the Council to raise the difficulty of the task to the "ten" level. In the end, it was only at the expense of a nationally top ice-type archmage that Daliora's ravages were finally resolved.

This...... Under deep pressure, even though the specific situation is still unclear, or even whether it is Jerf's demon, the Senate still decides to directly designate the investigation task as S-class and release it to the National Guild. However, it happened that Makarov had come to the Senate for questioning, and the council decided that it would be a good idea to assign this commission to Fairy Tail as a disciplinary price, and that it would be a much smaller price for them to pay if it was reliable and not considered an official S-Class mission.

Hurrying was never a problem for Woz, and ten minutes after leaving the advanced mission release room, he was in the jungle where the incident occurred. However, Woz did not land directly in the accident area, but stopped in a nearby town, and after learning the basics from the local guild, he walked into the jungle.

The scope of the dead has expanded. Compared to previous surveys, Wolds soon found that the extent of forest decay had increased considerably.

At the junction of the Dead Forest and the Normal Forest, there is a distinct black line pushing outward, constantly devouring the green. Woz took a closer look, only to find that it was actually a group of huge ants, dark gray shells, hideous pincer mouthparts, and an average of five centimeters of oversized size.

Could it be that all of this is caused by this group of monsters? Before Woz could think about it, the ant colony had already surrounded him. The ash is pressed and creepy.

These ants are known for their lack of vegetation wherever they pass. But Woz didn't show the slightest fear.

"Ant......" Wads opened the button of the book in his hand, but did not open it, just carried the spine of the book to make it droop naturally, and shook his wrist vigorously.

"Word ants. ”

Countless black and bright things flowed out of the pages like quicksand, and if you look closely, you will find that they are all square words, all of which are mainly next to the insect characters, landing and turning into the shape of ants, with Woxz as the center and sweeping the periphery in reverse, and the two waves of ants are quickly intertwined, like gray and black tides beating together.

The situation soon became clear, and word ants quickly gained the upper hand, and a steady stream of them were still being produced from the pages. After all, the big gray ants are called Warcraft because of the destructive power generated when they swarm, and in terms of individual theories, they are just powerful bugs, which happen to be restrained to death by Woz's word ants.

The battle situation didn't need to be bothered by Wozdor at all, he was thinking about the whole thing.

The big gray ants block ordinary humans, and ordinary soldiers are still possible, but when they encounter a magician, as long as they are not too bad, they will not pose a threat, at least it is still easy for the magician to escape. So, what's going on with the missing magicians? And the big gray ants rarely start their migration, unless the population is too large to support the habitat to start the death march to find a new home and reduce the number of the group. The number of ant colonies seen so far is not very large, and it is far from the point where migration is required.

That is, what happens to the colony's original habitat, forcing the colony to migrate early. Then, there is really something else in the core of the disaster area.

So, surrounded by word ants, Woz walked inward and quickly got rid of the entanglement of the ant colony.

The further you go inside, the worse the environment becomes, the bare land is completely cracked, and the stones are weathered abnormally, as if you have come to the barren Gobi. When you arrive at the core village, you can only see a broken wall, and occasionally a few pieces of white weathered bones, no one will doubt that this is a village that has been abandoned for tens or hundreds of years, and it is difficult to imagine that this is a change that has occurred in a few months.

This is not normal. Woz looked around as he kept recording the scene in his book. If it doesn't make sense, it can only be the effect of magic.

And it's a very powerful magic effect, so powerful that even council commissioners can swallow it. Unknown magic, ancient magic items, but most likely, the magician is causing trouble.

Control the word ants to spread out to the whole village, and launch a carpet search. At the same time, Woz was ready for battle, and the various magical effects recorded in the book crossed his mind one by one, ready to be launched, and now Woz alone could output enough magic in an instant to be comparable to the number of a mage group.

Soon, there was a reaction from the direction of the central church of the village, and all the word ants that were exploring that direction degenerated into bits of ink scattered on the ground.

Woz retrieved all of his words and walked towards the church, where there was a fluctuation of magic he was familiar with.

Wads found that only the chapel in front of him was the most well-preserved in the entire village, with little damage, as if it had been deliberately preserved. At this moment, the door of the church opened from the inside, and a scantily clad woman walked out, perhaps not revealing, but simply not wearing anything, but running out with her whole body just wearing underwear, chestnut-colored hair coiled a little messily on her head, and a pair of round glasses on the bridge of her nose. He looked furious.

If she's not a nude exhibitionist like Gray, she's a research maniac, Woz judged simply. Treat the whole village as your own institute and don't care about what you wear because you know that there is no one else?

Wait, what's that? In this woman, Woz saw the sign that he cared about...... The woman's plump breasts were half exposed, and she, apparently confident in her figure, had a dark purple coat of arms imprinted on the upper hemisphere of her breasts.

"Devil's Heart", Woz will not fail to know this coat of arms anyway, for this coat of arms and the guild it represents, Woz knows even more than others think, an illegal organization hidden in the dark world on the back side of the light, the top dark guild "Devil's Heart", one of the three giants of the Barham Alliance, a dark guild founded by the former head of Fairy Tail and the second-generation leader Presito. For a time, Woz had closely tracked down the guild under investigation. It can be said that on the side of the regular guild, no one knows this guild better than him, not even the Senate.

Moreover, this magic fluctuates...... Woz finally knew what was familiar to him, the magic of manipulating time, a magic he had been following for a long time. Thinking of the ruins here, all the clues instantly connected in Woz's mind.

Waz nodded clearly, the only question now is, who is this mysterious female sorceress in front of her? There is no news of this person in the information that Woz has.

"Who are you?" Wadsz asked first.

The woman was stunned, it was the first time she had seen such a calm person, the guys who had come here before were either confused by their appearance and clothes, or stupidly asked her what was going on here, only the man in front of him seemed to have decided that the incident here was related to her, and simply asked about his identity.

"Do you know what's going on here?" the woman let go of her long hair coiled on top of her head and brushed it carelessly, her expression full of haughty conceit, even if he knew that I was the one who caused this ruin, I am afraid that it would be impossible to see his own means, and the magic of legends is not known to everyone. Just send it away like the fools before, the woman decided, raising her hand to gather her magic.

"Lost magic, the arc of time. Woz felt it carefully, and found that it was a little different from the magic fluctuations he was familiar with, and suddenly shook his head and whispered, "But it seems to be out of control." ”
