Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: Iron Forest

Oshibana Station

"Due to a train derailment, we cannot enter the station yet. Everyone, please step back and be careful!"

"Derailment? Is that true?"

The conductor, holding a megaphone, tried his best to calm the anxious passengers, but they completely disregarded his explanation. They knew that the station had been occupied by unknown bandits, and this excuse was too poor to fool them.

The crowd grew even noisier, making the conductor sweat profusely.

Erza and the others had just driven up and hurriedly got out of their car, running towards the station.

"Damn it, we absolutely cannot let Erigor blow that skull flute and use Death Magic - Song of Curse."

Erza and the others looked worried and tense. When Erza and her group found Natsu and discussed Lullaby,

Lucy suddenly remembered having seen an introduction about it before; it was a wide-range curse magic. After hearing about this magic, Erza immediately led Everyone, speeding wildly and pouring magic power into the magic car, which allowed them to arrive here just in time.

She was so anxious that she headbutted and knocked down several conductors who hadn't had time to answer her questions, making Lucy deeply realize Erza's personality: her rules were truly the disciplinary rules of the Guild.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

"It seems the army has already gone in, but they haven't come out yet. They should still be fighting."

"Eh, they've all been defeated."

"Don't forget, they are an entire Guild, and Everyone is a Magician. Ordinary soldiers are no match. We need to be careful."

Erza, Gray, and the others ran along the corridor inside the station. From a staircase, they watched as army soldiers were knocked down one by one.

Lucy was also surprised to hear Erza's explanation, but she still carefully helped Natsu up and followed behind.

As the group reached a large hall, the members of Iron Forest in the hall were all smirking at Erza and the others. Erigor was also sitting in the air using Wind Magic, looking down mockingly.

"You're Erigor, right? And you all, what evil do you plan to do with Lullaby?"

Erza asked with a serious tone and expression.

The Iron Forest members, however, still looked indifferent, scoffing, "A bunch of flies! You're all the reason I got beaten up by Erigor, especially that pink-haired brat."

One of them, who had a brief skirmish with Natsu on the train, accidentally let the Skull Flute be seen during the fight, which resulted in him getting a beating. He already disliked regular Guilds, and with this grudge, he hated Erza's group even more.

This familiar voice instantly startled Natsu, who was still suffering from motion sickness, awake.

"Ha, Natsu's revived!"

"Oh, why are there so many people here?"

"Everyone here is an enemy."

"Then this is going to be a good show."

Natsu and Lucy cheered in unison. Finally, Natsu looked at the enemies with excitement, his eyes revealing a battle-loving flame.

Erigor paid no attention to the situation below, continuing to provoke Erza and the others.

"My purpose? What do you think is in the station? There are thousands of people near the station. All I need to do is use the station's loudspeaker, turn up the volume, and the whole city will hear the melody of death! Hahaha, that's my purpose, isn't it great?"

"You scoundrel, you actually want innocent people in the city to hear the melody of death!"

Erza clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on Erigor, who was still speaking loudly about his "rectification" high in the air.

Natsu, Gray, and Lucy also confronted Erigor furiously: "We are Fairy Tail's strongest team. Prepare yourselves!"

Erigor had originally intended to lure these people here so he could get his revenge on those individuals. He had been eager for a long time.

Seeing his plan succeed, he slowly ascended into the air: "I'll leave the rest to you. Let them taste the flavor of a Dark Guild."

"The only ones I've always wanted to get revenge on are those self-righteous Guild Masters, not these ordinary people."

"You hateful, damned Guild Masters, just wait, I'm coming for you right now!"

Erigor hovered over the station roof, his Wind Magic gathering the surrounding wind, slowly enveloping the entire station.

Erza, Lucy, Natsu, and Gray also quickly annihilated all enemies in batches, while heading towards the station's roof.

After Erza used the loudspeaker to drive away the people around the station, she turned back only to find the entire station already surrounded by a hurricane.

"Haha, although I really want to fight you, I have something important to accomplish. Please stay here, my Fairy Queen."

"Wind Magic - Wind Magic Wall!" Erigor struck Erza into the magic. Seeing Erza forcefully trying to break out but being repelled and sent flying, he couldn't help but say again, "You can only enter, not exit. If you try to force your way out, you'll be torn apart by the wind."

"Erza, their goal is the Guild Masters' meeting. This place is just for them to obstruct traffic."

Natsu and Gray suddenly revealed an explosive piece of news at this time. Upon hearing it, Erza glared fiercely at Erigor high in the air.

Under Zorn's training in previous years, Natsu and Gray's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. They had also trained diligently in the past two years, and their strength was no longer as it was in the original work. They quickly dealt with their respective enemies and relayed the news immediately.

"Tch, Fairy Tail's strength is indeed impressive. Those guys are useless, they couldn't even delay for this much time." Erigor sighed inwardly at this moment, then turned and flew high into the sky, "Since you know, I'll give you another layer of insurance, lest you ruin my good deeds."

"Wind Magic - Double Wind Magic Wall!"

A more powerful Wind Magic once again enveloped the station, its wind directly tearing up the surrounding buildings.

"This is secure now. Goodbye, Everyone. Get ready to collect your Guild Masters' corpses, hahaha!" Erigor laughed wildly.

"Damn it, my magic power!" Erza blamed herself at this moment. She had just wanted to use her magic power to break through, but found that much of it had been consumed while rushing here, and then completely used up during the recent battle. Now there was also the Double Wind Magic Wall.

"Oh, so proud, are we? What good deed makes you laugh so happily?"

A cold voice sounded behind Erigor. Erigor was drenched in cold sweat and slowly turned his head, seeing Zorn's cold and terrifying face.

"One of the Ten Wizard Saints, Zorn? How? You can't be here!"

"You can think about that later." Zorn vanished from his spot. Erigor couldn't track Zorn's figure. When he reappeared, all he saw was a flashing leg, moving from left to right, fiercely kicking him in the waist.

He was sent flying backward, crashing through several buildings.

"Yo, Erza, long time no see." Zorn, high in the air, looked at Erza, changing his expression, and greeted her with a smile.
