"Kenichi!"
Seeing Kenichi, Wendy, and the others approach, both Erza and Mirajane went to meet them.
"We've already learned Grimoire Heart's purpose from these two people!"
Pausing here, Erza glanced briefly at Gray beside Kenichi, then continued: "Grimoire Heart is after Zeref. They say Zeref is currently on this island!"
Sure enough…
When Erza mentioned the name Zeref, Gray's face changed dramatically.
Ultear died because of Deliora.
And Deliora was a demon created by Zeref.
Gray had always held a deep hatred for Zeref in his heart.
Now, hearing Erza say that Zeref was currently on this Tenrou Island, Gray's mind instantly became chaotic.
"Gray, calm down! Zeref is a figure from hundreds of years ago… he can't possibly still be alive!"
"The information from these guys might be wrong!"
Seeing the expression on Gray's face, Erza immediately tried to comfort him.
Kenichi naturally knew this information was true.
But he didn't intend to reveal it. Instead, he said to everyone: "Regardless of whether this information is true or not, our most important task right now is to fight Grimoire Heart!"
Hearing Kenichi's words, Gray calmed down a bit.
He had clearly heard Azuma say earlier that they came to eliminate Fairy Tail.
He naturally knew what the most important thing was now.
While Gray was organizing his thoughts, a figure streaked across the sky above, and then a large number of Grimoire Heart's members were delivered to various places on Tenrou Island like rain.
"They're here!"
Watching the many people falling, Erza's pretty face was filled with gravity.
Kenichi immediately activated his Sensory Magic.
As the Sensory Magic activated, Kenichi's perceptive quickly covered the entire Tenrou Island.
Simultaneously, numerous magical reactions appeared in Kenichi's mind.
Kenichi had memorized the magical signatures of all the Fairy Tail's members.
So those unfamiliar magical reactions must be from Grimoire Heart.
'There are two huge magical reactions near Master!'
'Those two reactions should be Hades and Bluenote!'
Kenichi looked towards a certain area ahead, his eyes flickering.
Then, he shifted his gaze to other directions.
Right now, Kenichi only wanted to find Rustyrose.
As for Hades and Bluenote, Kenichi planned to deal with them after collecting Rustyrose's Arc of Embodiment.
Although many Grimoire Heart's members had invaded Tenrou Island, as one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Rustyrose's magical power would certainly be much greater than that of ordinary foot soldiers.
For Kenichi to find Rustyrose, he just needed to focus on the reactions with large magical power.
There were seven members in the Seven Kin of Purgatory.
Azuma was already dead.
Kenichi had fought Ultear before and had long memorized her magical signature.
Finally, Kenichi locked onto five unfamiliar and large magical reactions.
"Erza, Mira, you should first regroup with everyone in the guild. I'm going to find the other members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory!"
With that, Kenichi and the manifested Azuma headed towards one of the large magical reactions.
'Seven Kin of Purgatory?!'
Erza had heard this name from the two Grimoire Heart's members she captured.
Erza was only slightly surprised and didn't dwell on it.
She just looked at the manifested Azuma beside Kenichi and asked: "Who is that person with Kenichi?"
"Azuma, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart."
Hearing Erza's question, Gray answered.
"One of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart?!"
Hearing Gray's words, Erza was startled.
"Why is a Grimoire Heart's member with you?"
Erza asked urgently.
"Don't worry, the real Azuma has already been killed by Kenichi. The one following Kenichi is created by his magic!"
Hearing Gray's words, Erza showed an understanding expression.
However, the two Grimoire Heart advance scouts behind Erza shouted with disbelief: "Impossible! Azuma-sama is one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory! How could he be defeated by you..."
Thump-
Before the Grimoire Heart member could finish, Erza punched him on the head.
"So noisy!"
The next second, the Grimoire Heart's member collapsed onto the ground.
"Erza-san is so scary..."
Seeing the terrifying expression on Erza's face, Wendy said awkwardly.
Gray beside her twitched the muscles at the corner of his mouth, showing an expression of agreement.
Erza ignored the expressions on Gray and Wendy's faces. She looked at the sky with a grave expression and said: "We should find Lucy, Juvia, and the others as soon as possible."
…
While Erza was preparing to find Lucy, Lucy and Levy were also searching for everyone.
After all, they had also seen the signal flare Erza released earlier.
The signal flare represented the appearance of enemies.
Naturally, the S-Class Mage exam would be terminated.
"Lucy, hurry up! Something must have happened!"
Levy, while jogging, urged Lucy behind her.
Just as Levy and Lucy were hurrying, a large number of Grimoire Heart members suddenly appeared ahead.
"Found two Fairy Tail's members!"
"Kill them!"
These Grimoire Heart's members didn't hesitate at all and directly pounced on Levy and Lucy.
"Oh no, enemies!"
Seeing the Grimoire Heart members charging at them, the pretty faces of both Levy and Lucy changed immediately.
Although Levy and Lucy were considerably weaker than Kenichi, Erza, and the others, they had still been through quite a few experiences.
Seeing these Grimoire Heart's members pouncing, Levy didn't hesitate and swung the pen in her hand.
"Solid Script: Thunder!"
Zap zap zap-
The next second, a script-formed thunderbolt shot directly towards the charging Grimoire Heart members.
When the script thunderbolt hit a Grimoire Heart's member, that member was struck as if by real lightning.
Several nearby Grimoire Heart's members were also electrocuted.
"Open, gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus!"
Lucy also took out a golden key.
With the activation of magical power, the bull-man carrying a battleaxe appeared out of thin air.
"Taurus, I'm counting on you!"
"Leave it to me!"
Taurus responded to Lucy, then charged at the group of Grimoire Heart members with his huge axe.
Boom-
The moment Taurus's battleaxe fell, a violent impact sound echoed through the air.
Rock debris on the ground flew in all directions.
The surrounding Grimoire Heart's members were all sent flying.
After Lucy and Levy worked together to deal with the group of Grimoire Heart's members, they happily high-fived.
"Well done, Lucy!"
Hearing Levy's praise, Lucy looked very pleased.
Just then, a sudden male voice came through the air: "Oh? Not bad, Fairy Tail mages."
Hearing this voice, the smiles on Levy and Lucy's faces instantly vanished, replaced by gravity.
Then, Levy and Lucy saw a goat-man in a black suit walking towards them.
"Lucy!"
Levy clearly felt that the person in front of them was different from the previous ones. She subconsciously pulled Lucy back a step.
"A new enemy?"
Taurus over there, seeing the approaching goat-man, didn't think twice and directly charged forward with his battleaxe raised to strike.
But upon getting close to the goat-man, Taurus's expression changed dramatically.
"You are..."
Before Taurus's attack could land, the goat-man delivered a whip kick to Taurus's body.
Boom-
Taurus, having suffered a heavy blow, flew backwards like a cannonball.
"Taurus, return!"
Seeing Taurus being sent flying by the goat-man, Lucy's face changed, and she immediately closed the Golden Bull's gate, sending Taurus back to the Celestial Spirit World.
"Open, gate of the Lion, Loke!"
After sending Taurus away, Lucy summoned Loke, the Leo.
'If it's Loke, he can definitely...'
Just as Lucy was thinking this, Loke, who had just appeared, looked at the goat-man in front of him as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief.
"Capricorn? You've been missing for 17 years! Why are you here?"
Hearing Loke's words, both Lucy and Levy looked puzzled.
"Loke, you know this person?"
"You should be able to sense it, right? He's a Celestial Spirit!"
Hearing Lucy's question, Loke glanced at her from the corner of his eye and asked gravely.
"Now that you mention it, I did feel something strange!"
"He is Capricorn of the Golden 12!"
"Eh? One of the Golden 12?!"
"He went missing 17 years ago!"
While Lucy and Loke were talking, Kenichi and the manifested Azuma were heading towards Lucy's location.
'These magical reactions are Lucy, Levy, and Loke!'
Kenichi didn't know which of the Seven Kin of Purgatory Lucy and Levy were facing at the moment.
He just sensed a large magical reaction in this direction and came to investigate.
It would be best if he found Rustyrose.
If not, he would just deal with this one and then find the remaining four.
