"Is the intelligence reliable?" Ultear pressed.
"Reliable! I heard Hades give the order with my own ears!" Meredy confirmed. "Ultear, Galuna Island..."
"I understand!" Ultear responded decisively. "Meredy, you did very well! Continue to stay in the Guild, be careful, and contact me immediately if there's any new development!"
Meredy's mental message carried a hint of tension.
The mental connection broke.
Ultear suddenly stood up, her beautiful face covered in frost.
She walked quickly to the window, her eyes sharp as knives.
"Hades..."
She turned without hesitation, walked to her desk, and picked up a special magic communication card.
This card was Ezreal's emergency contact method, capable of instantly transmitting information to Fairy Tail.
A pinpoint of starlight lit up on Ultear's fingertip, and she quickly wrote a message on the card:
A pinpoint of starlight lit up on her fingertip, and she quickly wrote:
[Urgent! Grimoire Heart intervention! Hades has sent Kawarazu Seeker to Galuna Island, targeting 'Deliora'. Hades mistakenly believes there is a true demon on the island. Hua Yuan's destructive power is extremely strong, Ur and Lyon and others are in extreme danger! Immediate assistance needed! — Northern Tears]
The message was sent!
The card instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared... Fairy Tail Guild.
The afternoon sun streamed through the stained-glass windows, illuminating the relatively quiet hall.
Mira gently wiped glasses behind the bar, Levy read a book in the corner, and Gajeel chewed on iron scraps, making a rhythmic "crunching" sound.
Ezreal, Cana, Ikaruga, and Max still sat by the window table, discussing something in low voices.
Although the atmosphere was more relaxed than before, the departure of Gray and Elfman, and Mira's self-reproach, still left a faint worry in the air.
Suddenly!
The white Fairy Tail emblem on the back of Ezreal's right hand, resting on the table, lit up with an extremely subtle yet exceptionally clear pinpoint of starlight without any warning!
Ezreal's golden pupils suddenly contracted!
He abruptly raised his hand, a flash of white light passed through his fingertips, and a magic card radiating a faint starlight instantly appeared in his palm!
On the card, a line of text formed by starlight quickly emerged:
[Urgent! Grimoire Heart intervention! Hades has sent Kawarazu Seeker to Galuna Island, targeting 'Deliora'. Hades mistakenly believes there is a true demon on the island. Hua Yuan's destructive power is extremely strong, Ur and Lyon and others are in extreme danger! Immediate assistance needed! — Northern Tears]
"What?!" Ezreal's face instantly darkened! An unprecedented sharp light burst forth from his golden eyes!
"Ez? What's wrong?" Cana immediately noticed Ezreal's abnormality.
Max and Ikaruga also looked over at the same time, their eyes sharp.
Ezreal didn't answer. He abruptly stood up and quickly showed the information on the card to the three of them.
"It seems things have gotten out of hand," Ezreal's face turned grim.
Hades being interested in Deliora was completely unexpected for him.
Logically, this part wasn't in the original story at all, so how could this happen?
"Grimoire Heart?! Kawarazu Seeker?!" Cana exclaimed in shock, her face changing drastically. "Grimoire Heart of the Balam Alliance?! They sent someone to Galuna Island?!"
"The target is the Undead Demon Deliora?!" A cold glint flashed in Max's emerald pupils, and the gold sand in his hand instantly condensed into the model of a sharp dagger.
A fleeting killing intent flashed in Ikaruga's cold eyes, and the Moon Scythe sheath on her lap emitted a slight hum.
"Damn it!" Ezreal cursed under his breath, his voice filled with icy anger. "Hades..."
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to think.
Kawarazu Seeker was one of the strongest among the Seven Kin of Purgatory, and his destructive power was incredibly terrifying!
Ur had lost all her magic power now, and even if she started cultivating again, a year and a half would definitely not be enough to restore her to her peak.
Although Lyon and the others had made great progress, facing an opponent of Hua Yuan's caliber, the outcome was still uncertain!
Not to mention those ordinary demon villagers!
Ezreal's mind raced, and in a moment, he had already realized why the current situation had arisen.
In the original timeline, Gray had already finished the Galuna Island arc by this time, and there was a key figure: Ultear!
In the original plot, Ultear's purpose on the island was to control Deliora.
Hades, a man who pursued the pinnacle of dark magic, had likely already set his sights on Deliora, known as the Undead Demon. That's why he sent Ultear to Galuna Island to guide Lyon and others to collect the Moon Drip and unseal Deliora.
As the former second Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Hades, in his pursuit of the ultimate magic, resolutely turned to darkness and developed the Grimoire Heart magic, which provided infinite magic power.
Given Hades's relentless quest for magic, Deliora would definitely be a coveted research material for him.
In the original plot, Deliora had already been obliterated by Absolute Zero, and this news was naturally relayed back to Grimoire Heart by Ultear, so there was no follow-up.
But the current situation was different. According to the timeline, Hades had arranged for Ultear to be on standby for three years. For the last year and a half, Ultear, having reconciled with her mother and resolved her inner turmoil, had consistently sent back false reports to the Guild about actively collecting Moon Drip and diligently working to unseal the demon.
However, when news suddenly arrived from Galuna Island about the emergence of the Undead Demon, Hades would naturally be excited and send people.
While Hades might have wondered why the news wasn't from Ultear but from the intelligence department, he merely assumed that juggling her undercover work with the Council made it difficult to manage both.
Or perhaps Deliora's power was too great, and he had unsealed prematurely even without enough Moon Drip. He never suspected that his trusted confidante was the biggest betrayer.
He even thoughtfully feared affecting Ultear's work, so he simply arranged for others to go himself.
With his thoughts racing, Ezreal deduced the cause and effect and immediately made a decision.
"Cana! Max! You two stay and guard the Guild!" Ezreal ordered quickly. "In case Grimoire Heart has other movements!"
"Understood!" Cana and Max immediately responded, their expressions serious.
"Ikaruga!" Ezreal looked at the cold swordsman beside him. "Come with me! To Galuna Island!"
Ikaruga didn't hesitate for a moment. She immediately stood up, battle intent rising in her cold eyes: "Alright!"
The situation was urgent, and Ezreal couldn't afford to waste time!
He abruptly raised his left hand, his index and middle fingers pressed together, and a dazzling white light instantly burst forth from his fingertips!
The light was so intense that it seemed to illuminate the entire Guild hall, attracting everyone's attention!
Mira, Levy, and Gajeel all looked over in surprise.
The white light from Ezreal's fingertips was like the purest light-brush, rapidly drawing in the void!
Ohm—!!!
A gigantic circular magic circle, about two meters in diameter, composed of pure light magic power, instantly formed!
The edges of the magic circle were intricate white runes, and in the center was a slowly rotating vortex made of countless points of light!
A powerful spatial fluctuation instantly spread out!
"Fixed-point teleportation!"
Ezreal exclaimed in a low voice, his voice carrying an undeniable power!
The brilliant light-portal instantly stabilized. Inside the portal was a distorted, rotating spatial aisle radiating a soft white light, the other end seemingly connected to a distant place!
"Go!" Ezreal didn't hesitate for a moment, stepping into the light-portal!
Ikaruga followed closely, her cold figure instantly disappearing into the dazzling white light!
Ohm—!!!
After the two entered, the light-portal rapidly contracted and dimmed, finally transforming into specks of light and dissipating into the air.
