Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 7 The Mysterious Sorcerer
In the west of the Fiore Kingdom, deep in the seaside jungle, a small village isolated from the world all year round was discovered by accident and suddenly turned into ruins. The surrounding lush forests also died in large parts, and the birds and beasts disappeared. scene.

Many hunters near this area were also missing, and none of the town guard soldiers who came to investigate came back. Feeling that something was wrong, the mayor immediately submitted an investigation request to the Magic Council.

The commissioner sent by the headquarters of the council also never returned. Under the investigation of the prophecy magic, the council was surprised to find that this incident was actually related to that Jeref!The legendary dark wizard Jeff, the demons produced by the magic book he left behind are enough to be called a natural disaster by the world!Every time Zeref's demons are born, there will be a bloodbath. Even the S-level missions cannot describe the difficulty of crusading these demons. The most recent one is the appearance of Daliola in the north of the kingdom. After destroying hundreds of villages and towns, the Senate immediately issued an S-level crusade mission and increased the rewards successively, but the guilds in the north were completely wiped out, unable to challenge the terrifying demon at all, almost forcing the Senate to increase the difficulty of the mission to " ten years" class.In the end, one of the country's top ice magicians was sacrificed to finally solve the ravages of Daliola.

This time... what will appear again?Feeling the pressure, even though the specific situation is not yet clear, even if it is not clear whether it is Zeref's demon, the Senate decided to directly set the investigation task as S-level and release it to the National Guild.But it just so happened that Makarov came to the council to accept inquiries, so the council felt that it was a good idea to assign this entrustment to Fairy Tail as a punishment price. It was reliable and not considered an official S-level task. much smaller.

Traveling has never been a problem for Woz, and 10 minutes after leaving the advanced task release room, he came to the jungle where the incident happened.However, Woz did not land directly in the accident area, but stopped in a nearby town, and after looking for the local guild to understand the basic situation, he entered the jungle on foot.

The scope of death has expanded again.Comparing the previous survey information, Woz quickly discovered that the area of ​​forest death had increased a lot.

At the junction of the dead forest and the normal forest, there is an obvious black line that is advancing outward, constantly devouring the green.Woz took a closer look, only to find that it was actually a group of huge ants, with dark gray shells and ferocious pincer-shaped mouthparts, with an average size of five centimeters. They were big gray ants with a bad reputation.

Could it be that this group of monsters caused all of this?Before Woz could think about it, the ants had already surrounded him.The ash was crushed in one piece, which was creepy.

This ant is known for not growing anything in its path.But Woz showed no sign of fear.

"Ants..." Woz opened the button of the book in his hand, but he didn't open it. He just held the spine of the book to let it hang down naturally, and shook his wrist lightly.

"Word ants."

Countless black and bright things flow out of the pages of the book like quicksand. If you look closely, you will find that they are square characters, all of which are mainly next to the word worm. They fall to the ground and turn into the shape of ants, with Woz as the center and reverse the periphery. Sweeping, two waves of ants quickly intertwined, like gray and black tides lapping together.

The situation soon became clear, and the word ants quickly gained the upper hand, and they were continuously being produced from the pages of the book.After all, the big gray ants are called monsters because of the destructive power they produce when they swarm. On an individual basis, they are just a little bit more powerful bugs, and they are restrained to death by Woz's word ants.

Woz didn't need to worry about the battle situation at all, he was thinking about the whole incident.

The big gray ants block ordinary humans, and ordinary soldiers can do it, but when encountering mages, as long as they are not too bad, they will not pose a threat. At least it is very easy for mages to escape.So, what happened to the missing wizards?Moreover, the big gray ants rarely start migratory activities. Unless the population exceeds the standard and the habitat cannot be supported, they will start a death march to find a new home and reduce the population.The number of ant colonies seen so far is not very large, and it is far from reaching the level that needs to migrate.

That is, what happened to the ant colony's original habitat, thereby forcing the ant colony to migrate earlier.Then, there is indeed another world in the center 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, the worse the environment is, the bare land is completely cracked, and the stones are abnormally weathered, as if you have come to the barren Gobi.When I arrived at the core village, I saw a piece of ruined walls, and occasionally there were a few pale weathered bone fragments. No one would doubt that this was a village that had been abandoned for tens of hundreds of years. It was hard to imagine that this was a few months ago. changes that occur.

This is not normal.While looking around, Woz kept recording the scene in front of him in the book.If it doesn't conform to common sense, it can only be the effect of magic.

Moreover, it is a very powerful magic effect, so powerful that even the commissioner of the council can swallow the magic effect.Unknown magic?Ancient magic props?But the most likely thing is that the mages are making trouble.

Control word ants spread out to the whole village, and started a blanket search.At the same time, Woz is ready to fight. The various magical effects recorded in the book flashed across his mind one by one, ready to go. Now Woz alone can output magic comparable to the amount of a wizard group in an instant.

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

Found the target!Woz took back all the words and walked towards the church, where there was a wave of magic that he was familiar with.

Woz found that only the small church in front of him was the best preserved in the entire village, with almost no damage, as if it had been deliberately preserved.At this time, the door of the church opened from the inside, and a scantily clad woman came out. Maybe she couldn't be said to be revealing, but she was so simple that she didn't wear anything. She ran out with only underwear on her whole body. It is disheveled on the head, and there is a pair of round glasses on the bridge of the nose.A look of anger.

If she wasn't a naked exhibitionist like Gray, she was a research freak, Woz judged simply.Treat the whole village as your own institute, don't care what to wear because you know there's no one else?
wait, what is that?On this woman, Woz saw the sign it cared about... The woman's plump breasts were half exposed, obviously she was very confident in her figure, and she imprinted a dark purple coat of arms on the upper hemisphere of her breasts.

"Devil's Heart", Woz will never fail to recognize this coat of arms. Woz knows more about this coat of arms and the guild it represents than anyone else imagines; hidden behind the light is the dark world The illegal organization, the top dark guild "Devil's Heart", one of the three giants of the Barham League, the dark guild founded by the former Fairy Tail president and second-generation leader Prechto after he joined the darkness.Woz once closely tracked and investigated the guild.It can be said that in the formal guild, no one knows this guild better than him, not even the Senate.

Moreover, this magical fluctuation...Woz finally knew the reason why he felt familiar, it was the magic of manipulating time, and it was also a kind of magic he had been paying attention to for a long time.Reminiscent of the ruins here, all the clues were instantly connected in Woz's mind.

Woz nodded clearly. The only question now is, who is this mysterious female wizard in front of me?There is no news about this person in the information that Woz has.

"Who are you?" Woz asked first.

The woman was stunned, it was the first time she saw such a calm person, the guys who came here before were either confused by their appearance and clothes, or asked her stupidly what happened here, only the man in front of him , seems to have determined that the incident here is related to her, and just simply asked about her identity.

"You, do you know what happened here?" The woman let go of the long hair on the top of her head and smoothed it carelessly. Her expression was full of arrogance. Even if he knew that I was the one who caused the ruins, he might not It is impossible to see his own means, and not everyone knows the legendary magic.Get rid of it like those fools before, the woman decided so, raising her hand to gather magic power.

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