Everyone immediately contacted Natsu and the others.
Unlike Takeshi, who could use Flying Thunder God Technique for rapid teleportation, the others moved relatively slowly.
Takeshi had already been back for half a day by the time they just arrived, and that was only because Takeshi had given them a head start. Otherwise, they would still be on the road.
Soon, Natsu and the others were contacted. When the group rushed over, they were a step too late. The Council Member had already been killed. Clearly, Tartaros was not acting alone.
After hearing that Takeshi had captured someone from Tartaros and had a way to find their nest, they hurried back. They didn't want to miss this war with Tartaros.
Takeshi released Jackal's soul.
Jackal's soul seemed to be attracted and rapidly flew in one direction.
Full Body Take Over: Ulquiorra Cifer!
Takeshi transformed into Ulquiorra's appearance.
"Enclose! Murcielago!"
Takeshi activated his first stage Resurrección.
Ulquiorra was considered a mid-tier Gold character, but he had his own unique characteristic: flight.
Ulquiorra's flight speed was incredibly quick, while other Gold characters lacked the ability to fly.
Besides that, Ulquiorra's comprehensive abilities were also very strong, especially his ultimate Move, Lanza del Relampago. Not only was its power immense, but it was also instantaneous.
After firing one, he could immediately condense the next, with almost no cooldown required.
In short, as long as his magic power was sufficient, he could use Lanza del Relampago without limit.
Furthermore, Ulquiorra had another ability, Garganta, a super ability capable of crossing between different worlds.
Based on these alone, this Ulquiorra character card would never go out of style.
"Master, I'll go find the coordinates of the Tartaros headquarters first. Once I find them, I'll teleport you all over."
Since the plan was set, it was time to execute it immediately.
"Okay. Remember not to act alone." Makarov cautioned again.
The demons of the Books of Zeref were all monsters that had once brought terrifying disasters to the continent, it was safer for everyone to attack together.
Takeshi spread his wings and chased after Jackal's soul.
Jackal's soul seemed to be pulled by a magnet, advancing at high speed, with Takeshi following closely behind.
After flying for an hour straight, Takeshi saw a cubic island in the sky ahead. It looked very eerie, like the floating islands of Edolas suspended in mid-air.
As Takeshi approached, he immediately felt a powerful gravitational pull coming from the cubic island, though this gravity had little effect on him.
Takeshi looked at the island and really wanted to fire a Lanza del Relampago at it to turn it to ash.
However, since it was still uncertain whether Porlyusica could use Jackal's blood to create an antibody, it was best to capture the guy who had caused Laxus and the others to be infected by magical barrier particles.
Furthermore, everyone in the guild wanted to participate in the war, so there was naturally no need for him to spoil the fun.
Full Body Take Over: Minato Namikaze!
Before landing on the island, Takeshi changed his Take Over form.
Swoosh!
Takeshi threw a Kunai toward the island.
In the next instant, he appeared where the Kunai was.
Marking complete.
—
Tartaros Headquarters.
"Have you already figured out who the three people performing the seal are?"
Seilah returned to Tartaros and learned the information from Kyoka.
"Yes, I have to admit, the Former Council Chairman's Archive is a truly remarkable magic." Kyoka nodded with a smile.
Crawford had contacted Tartaros to tell them that the Magic Council had actually created such a terrifying magic. His goal was to use the power of Tartaros to reclaim his position as the Magic Council Chairman.
Meanwhile, Tartaros intended to take this opportunity to eliminate all humans on the continent, while simultaneously fulfilling their mission as demons from the Books of Zeref.
The two parties hit it off immediately. Afterward, related facilities were being constructed on this island. Not long ago, the reconnaissance and activation facilities were completed, which is why they began to take action.
After bringing Crawford here and utilizing the related facilities, they quickly identified the three individuals performing the seal.
Seilah said, "Then there will be no need for unnecessary killing anymore, right?"
"Two of the three people performing the seal were already on the previous target list. The remaining one is Jellal. As long as we find and kill him, Face will be activated."
"Face... the Magic Pulse Bomb, an extremely terrifying ultimate weapon."
Seilah knew its power was terrifying. Once activated, all magic power on the entire Ishgar continent would disappear, and all Mages would suffer from magic deficiency syndrome.
It was like a fish that could live freely and happily in water, but once the water was drained, the only future awaiting these fish was death. No matter how strong or numerous the fish were, it would be of no use.
Kyoka nodded. "But we need it."
Seilah asked, "Yes, I know. Is there any clue about Jellal?"
"A little. Jellal was defeated by an unknown person seven years ago and imprisoned by the Magic Council, but he was later rescued from the Council and has been missing since. However, there is intelligence saying he seems to have founded a guild. It's very mysterious. I don't know if he's still continuing his previous foolishness, haha."
Kyoka knew some information about Jellal. He had been deceived by the people from Grimoire Heart, and then built the Tower of Heaven in a delusional attempt to resurrect Zeref.
Grimoire Heart also thought they held the key to awakening Zeref, unaware that it was all fake. No one knew Zeref better than they, the members of Tartaros.
"Their range of activity is roughly clear. Crawford is currently tracking his location. I believe it won't be long before he's discovered."
"And what about Fairy Tail?"
Seilah had heard after her return that Tempester had encountered Fairy Tail and was even forced to self-destruct to return. Tartaros and Fairy Tail had now formed a grudge.
