### Chapter 51: Instant Kill
"?!!"
"Are they crazy?! Do they know how serious the consequences of doing this will be?!"
Although Lucy was just a newcomer, she often paid attention to the affairs of the Magic world. If all the Guild Masters were cursed to death, it would be an earth-shattering event. The guild members of all the killed Masters would endlessly hunt down Eisenwald members.
At that time, let alone one Eisenwald, even ten Eisenwalds couldn't withstand it.
Riku chuckled lightly: "Maybe they think they can kill everyone with just a mere 'Cursed Song'."
'Cursed Song' was just a curse-killing tool casually modified by Zeref. Maybe it could curse and kill some people, but this thing was nothing special. It was just a toy casually modified by Zeref and thrown away.
Then this thing caused quite a bit of trouble in the Magic world, so it was sealed.
There were many similar things in the Magic world, all collectively called the legacy of the Black Mage Zeref.
Suddenly!
A sinister laugh rang out.
"Jie jie jie!"
"What an arrogant brat!"
The group looked in the direction of the voice and saw green smoke slowly emerging from the mouth of a three-eyed skull flute on the ground.
The green smoke rose, then gradually transformed into a giant monster that looked like it was made of trees.
"It's a monster——!!"
Lucy and Happy screamed in fright.
Erza's expression also changed seeing this monster: "What's going on? Why did a monster appear from inside the flute?"
Riku looked at the monster and explained: "This is Lullaby."
"Lullaby?!"
Lucy suddenly recalled something, her body trembling slightly: "...Could it be a Demon from the Books of Zeref?!"
Happy asked curiously: "Demon?"
"I only read about it in books. Demons from the Books of Zeref brought terrifying disasters to the continent. That monster is Lullaby itself, Living Magic. That is Zeref's Magic. I originally thought it was just a story in a book, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Lucy looked at the monster with fear on her face.
"Living Magic..."
Erza was also shocked by this Magic.
The monster glanced at the Eisenwald members lying on the ground: "Truly a bunch of useless trash! Making me do it myself. I'm so hungry. Let me taste your souls."
The monster opened its big mouth, seeming ready to play the Cursed Song.
"Not good!! Lullaby is going to attack!"
"Eeeek——!!"
Lucy covered her ears in fright.
Erza immediately prepared to act.
"El Thor (Judgment of God)!"
RUMBLE————!!
A giant lightning pillar shot out from Riku's wrist.
BOOM————!!
The lightning pillar descended from the sky, bombarding the Lullaby monster, submerging its body. A terrifying explosion shockwave spread outwards.
"Yaaaaaah!!"
The explosion shockwave made Lucy scream uncontrollably.
After a while, the explosion shockwave slowly dissipated. A giant crater appeared on the ground. The monster's figure dissipated, leaving only a shattered three-eyed skull flute in the crater.
"Ki... killed?!"
"A Demon from the Books of Zeref, instantly killed like this?!"
Lucy widened her eyes in disbelief.
Riku said indifferently: "Demon from the Books of Zeref? This doesn't count as a Demon from the Books of Zeref. At most, it's just a toy casually made by Zeref."
The real Demons from the Books of Zeref were all in Tartaros. Pulling any one of them out would be a hundred times stronger than this thing.
At this time, heavy footsteps sounded. Looking up, they saw the army rushing towards them from the front.
"Not good! The army!!"
"Run!!"
Riku, Erza, and Happy skillfully jumped onto the Magic four-wheeler.
"!!"
She clearly hadn't done anything wrong, so why was she chased by the army twice?
But she also hurriedly jumped onto the Magic four-wheeler. She didn't want to stay here. Immediately after, the Magic four-wheeler started and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Before long, the army arrived and was stunned by the scene before them.
"...What exactly happened here?!"
******
Magic Council Conference Hall ERA
Bang!!
"It's Fairy Tail again! Can't this guild calm down a bit?! Especially this guy named Riku. Half a month ago, he destroyed half of Hargeon Port, and now he actually destroyed a train! Simply lawless! Lawless! Must be severely punished! If not severely punished, this guy might destroy a city one day!"
Councilor Org slammed the table angrily. As the Second Seat of the Magic Council, he presided over most meetings when the Chairman was absent.
"But they eliminated a Dark Guild after all."
Councilor Belno said. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Fairy Tail always causing trouble, causing trouble for the sake of doing the right thing was excusable.
"Even eliminating one Eisenwald won't solve the fundamental problem. Dark Guilds are countless."
"What's strange is, how could such powerful Magic be easily taken? If someone uses Zeref's Magic again in the future, we won't be able to handle it!"
"Responsibility should be pursued with the management."
Siegrain smiled and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, thanks to Fairy Tail's help this time, if Lullaby had succeeded, all the Guild Masters would have been killed. The consequences would be unimaginable. Even among us, some lives might not have been saved."
"!! Does this mean we are also responsible?!"
"Nonsense!! Those guys act recklessly. The trouble they caused this time also gave me a headache!!"
Many councilors became somewhat agitated hearing this.
The main purpose of the Magic Council was to maintain peaceful coexistence between mages and ordinary people. When mages caused chaos, it naturally affected the trust of various countries and people in the Magic Council.
Like the incidents at Hargeon Port and Eisenwald, the Magic Council had to clean up the mess, so almost all councilors felt very headache-inducing about Fairy Tail.
"I didn't mean that. I think everyone should put aside prejudice this time and maybe praise them?"
