Crossover: In Fairy Tail, with unparalleled comprehension

Page 29

The king and many of his ministers felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this, as they had heard similar remarks several times in recent days.

"Again...what happened again?!"

"The town of Baron was breached by the Black Magic Cult, and everyone in the town was kidnapped by them."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall paled.

"Damn it! What exactly does this black magic cult want by capturing so many people?"

The king panicked even more, and shouted in a trembling voice, "SOS! Immediately request help from the Magic Council! Tell them that our kingdom is willing to pay protection money."

Lu Li said calmly, "What's the panic? Even if you ask the Magic Council for help now, it will take at least a month for them to send troops. Why don't you let us try? If we take them down, you'll save a lot of money."

Lu Li's calm demeanor calmed the emotions of the king and his ministers.

The legion commander frowned and said, "That's the Black Magic Order. Even our kingdom's elite army of mages couldn't defeat them. How could the two of you possibly be a match for the Black Magic Order?"

"Buzz!"

Lu Li exuded terrifying magical power.

Everyone felt a terrifying pressure emanating from Lu Li, their legs trembled involuntarily, and they collapsed to the ground, looking at Lu Li with fear on their faces.

"We are mages from Fairy Tail. Don't compare us to those mages in your army. We are different."

After saying this, Lu Li withdrew his magic.

Now, no one in the hall dared to underestimate Lu Li and Erza anymore. Almost everyone present possessed magic power and could sense how terrifying Lu Li's magic power was.

Lu Li looked at the soldier who had given the report: "Tell us the location of the town that was attacked."

"Yes...yes! The attacked town is in the southeast, 200 kilometers from the capital."

200 kilometers? No wonder the country's top brass are all panicked; at this distance, the enemy could attack here at any moment.

"Knowing the other party's location makes things much easier."

Whoosh!

Lu Li unfurled three pairs of pure white wings from behind, startling those around him.

Lu Li extended his hand to Erza and said, "Let's go."

Erza immediately understood Lu Li's meaning. Lu Li put his arm around Erza's waist and quickly flew towards the direction the soldiers knew.

In less than five minutes, Lu Li arrived at the attacked town.

The town was deserted, with ruins everywhere and homes destroyed.

Erza's face turned very ugly when she saw this, and she tried her best to suppress her anger.

"These damn bastards!"

Bang!

Erza smashed a wall with a single punch.

The scene before her reminded her of her childhood, when she was captured by the Black Magic Cult and sent to an island as a slave to build the R System.

Lu Li carefully looked around: "There are signs of recent damage here. Moving so many people must be a huge undertaking. I believe they haven't gone far."

Erza immediately realized that now was not the time to be angry; the priority was to rescue the person.

"Let's chase!"

The ground was covered with footprints, making it easy to track the other person's movements.

Soon after, Lu Li and Erza arrived in front of a city.

Lu Li and Erza arrived silently at the top of the city wall. Looking down, they saw a large number of people gathered in the center of the city. Almost everyone was filled with fear, and some were even crying.

The surrounding area was filled with members of the Black Magic Cult, all clad in black robes. There were a great many of them, at least five hundred in number.

"So many people! What do these guys want to do by arresting all these people?"

Erza clenched her fists at the sight. At first, she thought these dark magic cults were like the old ones, capturing people to be slaves and building the R system, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

At that moment, a man wearing a steel mask appeared on the platform.

"Everyone! We will now begin the purification ritual!"

"These people are innocent!"

"Thirty thousand lives knew nothing of their impending fate."

"These holy lives will create the key to awaken that great being and bring him back to life on this land."

"In order to walk alongside him in this world, we must offer these 30,000 pure souls as a sacrifice!"

"It's all for the great Dark Mage Zeref!!"

"For Zeref!!"

"For Zeref!!"...

The many members of the Black Magic Church below shouted excitedly.

Erza finally understood what the other person meant. Her face turned deathly pale, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"These guys... they actually want to perform a blood sacrifice!!!"

Chapter Fifty-Five: Blood Sacrifice

Lu Li also realized what the other party wanted to do, and his expression changed.

The heinous crime of massacring 30,000 innocent people was about to happen right under their noses.

He knew that every world had a dark side, and even in the era he had lived in his previous life, which he considered famous, genocide was a common occurrence.

I never imagined that I would one day witness such a terrifying thing with my own eyes.

"The purification ritual now begins!!!"

The masked man on the platform announced loudly.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

All the members of the Black Magic Cult excitedly raised their weapons, ready to begin the slaughter.

The ordinary people who were surrounded were terrified, and many children cried loudly.

"Stop right there!!!"

Seeing the bloody massacre about to unfold before her eyes, Erza could no longer help but speak up to stop it.

Erza's voice revealed the two of them.

"Kill them!"

The masked man gave the order, seemingly showing no interest in knowing Lu Li and Erza's identities.

Many members of the Dark Magic Church raised their wands and fired magic projectiles at Lu Li and Erza.

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !

The magic projectiles struck the location where Lu Li and Erza were.

Explosions kept happening.

"Hmph! Two mere brats dare to meddle in the affairs of our Black Magic Cult; they're practically courting death."

"Heavenly Wheel - The Blazing Sword!"

At that moment, Erza's voice rang out from the smoke of the explosion.

shhhhhh! ! !

Numerous steel swords shot out from the smoke, piercing towards the members of the Black Magic Cult.

Puff puff puff! !

“Ugh!”

"Waaaaaah!"...

Erza showed no mercy to the Black Magic Order; these guys were even more despicable than the ones who enslaved her to build the R System.

Although it was very painful at that time, at least she was still alive.

These guys were planning to kill 30,000 people to leave a trail of blood; such a crime deserves to die.

Erza charged at the members of the Dark Magic Order and relentlessly attacked them.

One by one, the members of the cult were killed.

The masked man said calmly, "Ignore her and continue the purification ritual!"

"Yes!!"

Apart from the dozen or so people dealing with Erza, everyone else raised their wands, and magic bullets condensed on them.

"stop----!!!"

Erza shouted loudly upon seeing this, as there were too many enemies, making it very difficult for her to deal with them. What was even more troublesome was the sheer number of hostages—over 30,000 people—whose protection she simply couldn't handle.

The Black Magic Order naturally ignored Erza's orders and unleashed a barrage of magic projectiles at the innocent people in the middle.

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !

The destructive power of hundreds of people unleashing magic simultaneously is terrifying.

This is the Legion effect.

One magic bullet after another was fired at the center, carrying out a carpet bombing.

This feeling filled everyone in the Black Magic Order with immense excitement.

Erza's face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. These guys actually did it! Thirty thousand people! Thirty thousand innocent lives! These guys aren't human; they're monsters.

"Great Zeref! I offer you a bountiful sacrifice; receive these pure souls!"

The masked man spread his arms and shouted to the sky in a fanatical tone.

After a short while, when they felt that most of those people were dead, the Black Magic Order gradually stopped.

"Wait! What is that?!"

Before the smoke cleared, the Black Magic Cult saw something white glowing within the smoke.

Erza looked over as well.

The smoke quickly dissipated, and everyone could see what was happening inside.

A huge hexagonal protective shield appeared, enveloping everyone inside. All the previous attacks hit the shield, and the people inside were completely unharmed.

"Land from!"

Erza's face immediately lit up with surprise upon seeing it.

She was very familiar with this move; Lu Li had used it a week ago when she fought him, and it blocked all her attacks.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li was able to expand this protective barrier to such a large extent that it covered 30,000 people.

"How can it be?!"

The members of the Black Magic Cult were all in disbelief at what they saw.

"here you go!!"

Seeing that Lu Li had protected all the civilians, Erza had no more worries and immediately continued her work.

"Damn it! How dare they obstruct our sacred purification ritual! Kill them! Offer their souls to the great Dark Mage Zeref!!"

The masked man was enraged by this and waved his hand to give the order.

All the members of the Dark Magic Order launched an attack on Erza, firing magical projectiles at her.

The sheer number of magic projectiles forced Erza to dodge.

Seeing Erza's exhausted and disheveled appearance, the members of the Dark Magic Order became excited.

Just then, the night sky lit up, and everyone felt a scorching heat.

Everyone looked in the direction of the light and immediately witnessed a scene that left them dumbfounded.

"What...what is that?!"
