""So fast!"
Feeling the strong wind rushing at her face, Lucy was a little stunned.
Fast! Too fast!
It was like teleportation. In just three seconds, Lucy could only see a tiny back on the railway.
"What... what is this?!"
Lucy was bewildered, staring blankly at Erza and Happy. "Is this speed magic? Or teleportation magic?"
Erza shook her head. "Neither. This is just Takeshi's normal running speed in this form."
"Nor... normal running speed? How is this normal?! It's not normal at all!" Lucy complained, dumbfounded.
How could a normal person carch up to a train by running, especially one that had already departed an hour ago?
Erza said, "Let's go after him too."
Although she believed Takeshi could handle it, if his magic power ran out, it would be bad.
—
On the train.
Kageyama handed a three-eyed skull flute to Erigor. "This is it."
"Oh... so this is that forbidden magic, Lullaby."
"It's said that this flute was originally just an ordinary curse tool, but the great Dark Mage Zeref evolved it into a more advanced magic flute."
"He really created such a terrifying thing."
"Everyone who hears the sound of this flute will be cursed to death. This is Mass Murdsd Curse Magic—Lullaby!"
"Ohhhh!"
"As expected of little Kage."
"Now the plan is perfect."
Erigor rallied, "It's time to make those old geezers pay the price! We'll take revenge for the harm they inflicted on us in the past!! I will make them return it all a thousandfold!!!"
"Ohhhhh!!!"
The members of Eisenwald were all very excited. They were about to get rid of those old fogeys, and if they accomplished this earth-shattering feat, their Eisenwald would become famous. Perhaps they could even become the leaders of the Dark Guild, and then they would gain wealth, status, and reputation.
Soon, everyone casually sat in the train seats, eating, drinking, and having fun. Some near the windows looked at the scenery outside.
Suddenly—
Whoosh!
A figure rushed past, causing those who saw it to rub their eyes. When they looked again and found no one, they thought they had just seen wrong.
After all, how can a human run faster than a train?
Swish!
Takeshi stopped ahead, looking at the approaching train. The corners of his lips slightly curled up, revealing a wild and slightly wicked smile.
He squatted down, gripping the tracks with both hands.
"Take off!" Takeshi let out a soft shout.
Immediately after, he quickly stood up, and the two tracks were pulled up like ropes, with the tracks ahead also continuously lifting off the ground and rushing towards the train.
At this moment, inside the train, the members of Eisenwald were still leisurely eating, drinking, and having fun.
Suddenly—
Everyone felt a terrifying impact.
"Ugh!"
"Ahhhh!"
Everyone in the train was thrown into disarray, feeling themselves rushing towards the sky.
Outside, the train engine was first bounced up by the tracks, followed by the connected cars behind. Car after car was lifted, rushing high into the sky.
Soon, their ascent speed began to slow down, then they all started to free-fall.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Everyone in the cars experienced a feeling of weightlessness, screaming in terror.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
All the cars fell to the ground one by one, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust.
A short while later.
Swish!
Accompanied by two wind blades, a car broke open, and Erigor, leaning on the car, staggered out from inside.
"Damn it! What in the world happened?"
Erigor's face was extremely grim. The recent experience made him very uncomfortable.
"Ugh! It hurts!"
"What happened? Did the train derail?"
"Damn it! How could something like this suddenly happen?"
The members of Eisenwald came out of the cars one after another.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounddd from above. "Yo! Trash of Eisenwald. How are you?"
"What?!"
Hearing someone call them trash, everyone immediately glared in the direction of the voice.
Then, they saw a man in a black T-shirt squatting on top of the train engine, which was standing upright, embedded in the ground.
Erigor's face turned ugly. "Who are you? Did you cause all of this?!"
The terrain here was flat, the train couldn't have derailed for no reason. The fact that the other party appeared here and knew their identity meant he must have been behind it.
"Yes."
The members of Eisenwald didn't expect Takeshi to admit it so straightforwardly.
"Kill him!" Erigor gave the order.
No matter who he was, anyone who dared to provoke Eisenwald had to die.
A person immediately charged towards Takeshi, holding a magic sword.
"Die!"
This person swung the magic sword down towards Takeshi's head.
Just as everyone thought Takeshi would be split in half—
"So slow."
Takeshi suddenly extended two fingers, firmly clamping the blade.
"What?!"
Everyone was greatly surprised to see this.
Then, as Takeshi clamped the blade, the opponent's body was easily lifted. Then, Takeshi gave a slight flick.
"Ahhhhh!"
This person was sent flying.
"That's not how you use a sword."
Pfft!
Before the attacker's body had even landed, Takeshi had already appeared behind him, and the sword in his hand pierced through the guy's body from the back.
"Arghhh!!!"
This person let out a painful scream.
Takeshi swung the sword in his hand with force.
Bang!
The attacker's body was thrown to the ground, and at the same time, the blood on the blade in Takeshi's hand was also shaken off.
For guys who wanted to harm his old man, Takeshi had no intention of showing mercy. Furthermore, he had transformed into Toji. Showing mercy was not his strong suit. Killing was his true nature.
"..."
This decisive and cruel scene terrified all the members of Eisenwald. They hadn't even clearly seen how Takeshi had attacked.
Everyone felt an incredibly terrifying killing intent and oppressive aura from Takeshi. Their bodies couldn't stop trembling. Facing him felt like facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
How many people must he have killed to create such terrifying killing intent?
Takeshi's gaze was wild, arrogant, and aggressive as he looked at the members of Eisenwald.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack and kill me? If you don't make a move, then I will, you know, because my time is quite precious."
