Hello, I'm thinking of dropping this novel because I haven't received any subscriptions for her to the patreon yet.
Anyway, if I receive just 3 subscriptions within 3 days, I'll continue it; otherwise, I'll stop.
Sorry about that.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.
For the past two weeks, Zeros has been staying in Harugion for quite some time, which surprised his neighbor, Crew. Once, Crew even forced Zeros to go fishing with him, and of course, he treated Zeros to a seafood feast that night.
As for Lucy, who joined Fairy Tail, she naturally enjoyed every day. These days spent with everyone in the guild were many times happier than when she was in that cold home.
Zeros also learned from one of the Magic Weekly magazines that after Lucy joined Fairy Tail, she started taking on missions and her first job was featured in the Magic Weekly. What Zeros found interesting was that the Magic Weekly described Lucy as exceptionally powerful, saying that she defeated the well-known mercenary gorilla with just two fingers.
And on that very day...
Zeros, dressed in black robes and wielding a sword, left Hargeon.
As he left, Zeros's expression was icy, and an uncontrollable killing intent burst forth from his eyes. In that instant, he seemed to have returned to Zeros two years ago, but he was even colder than Zeros back then.
Not long ago, Zeros learned some news, one that thrilled him and another that made him unable to suppress his murderous intent.
That message was about Erigor's whereabouts.
"Finally showing himself, Erigor..."
......
at the same time.
Fairy Tail.
Erza, the 'Fairy Queen', one of the strongest female mages in Fairy Tail, returns with astonishing news. She then invites Natsu and Gray to team up with her, along with Lucy, who joins the team in a way that seems quite inexplicable to her.
And what is the target of their operation this time!
It was none other than the dark guild, Iron Forest!
...
Station.
In front of the station, a large crowd had gathered, seemingly due to some major disturbance. Among them were many Kingdom soldiers in standard armor, carrying standard rifles, who were questioning the people.
"A group of people carrying large scythes suddenly broke in and forcibly drove the train away!"
"I left my business tools, which are more important than my wife, on the train. Please, please get the train back right away!"
"Those people look like they're from the Dark Guild! How terrifying!"
The crowd gathered inside the station were all telling the soldiers what had happened, hoping that the soldiers could help them solve the train problem as soon as possible. The whole station was in an uproar.
Meanwhile, outside the station.
A handsome man in a black robe, holding a katana in his left hand, slightly twitched his ears, listening to the commotion from the crowd. A murderous glint flashed in his cold eyes. "Holding a large scythe... there's no mistake, it's definitely Erigor..."
This guy, who calls himself 'Death,' is wielding a large scythe.
Having confirmed the accuracy of the information, the handsome man gripped his katana even tighter. He glanced at the route sign in front of the station, then looked at the tracks where no trains were stopping. A purple gold light flashed in his eyes, and in a flash, his body blurred and disappeared from the spot.
Not far from where the handsome man had just stood, a portly man rubbed his eyes and said to his companion, "Hey, wasn't there someone over there just now? How come they suddenly disappeared?"
"There's no one there! I think you're seeing things. Maybe you're hallucinating because you're too panicked after the train was intercepted! Don't worry, the kingdom will take care of us!"
"Perhaps, but I just clearly..."
"There are no 'buts'..."
.....
Another Station.
Just like the situation at Station before, this place was also in turmoil.
Moreover, compared to the train interception incident at previous station, the situation here is even more frightening: someone has occupied the entire station!
The group that occupied this station was none other than the dark guild "Eisenwald" led by "Death God" Erigor!
After Eisenwald occupied the lower station, the army stationed in City quickly mobilized. However, facing the Eisenwald Dark Guild led by Erigor, which had mobilized its entire force of platoons, they were easily defeated.
Shortly after, a magical four-wheel drive vehicle sped by.
Riding aboard was Fairy Tail's squad—Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy the blue cat!
After Erza's 'violent' questioning, the group learned about the situation and stormed into the station, only to fall into the trap set by Erigor.
After a fierce battle.
With her powerful transformation magic 'Requip: The Knight', Erza defeated everyone in the Eisenwald except for Erigor and the two high-ranking members who had gone to chase Natsu and Gray. After some persuasion, she managed to disperse the crowd that had gathered around the station to watch the spectacle.
Seeing that the thousands of people around them had all left, Erza finally breathed a sigh of relief. That meant Erigor's plan was going to fail...
However, at that moment...
A whooshing sound arose, and Erza's long, crimson hair danced in the wind. Her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and she saw that a tornado-like storm had suddenly arisen and was rapidly engulfing the entire station.
"Erigor!"
Erza also saw Erigor floating in the air using wind magic, and immediately glared at him angrily, "What exactly do you want to do!"
"I just want to keep you here temporarily."
Erigor looked down at Erza with a mocking gaze and said, "Fairy Queen, although I've always wanted to fight you, it's a real shame that I don't have the time right now!"
After saying that, Erigor's body flew up again, and at the same time, the tornado storm was fully formed, enveloping Erza and the entire Station.
"Erigor!" Erza shouted, charging directly towards the tornado. But when her body touched the tornado, a sharp, knife-like pain shot through her arm, causing her to grit her teeth and retreat.
"It's useless." Elrig's voice rang out from outside the tornado. "My magical barrier can only be entered from the outside. If you try to come out from the inside, your body will be sliced to pieces by the wind!"
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Erza shouted angrily.
Outside the Wind Wall, Erigor floated leisurely in the air. His plan had progressed to this point, and although there had been some minor mishaps along the way, he could say that he had basically completed more than half of his plan by trapping the Fairy Tail flies here with the Wind Wall.
Next, simply cross the canyon, play the magic flute, and you'll be all set.
Thinking of this, Erigor felt a little smug. He said, "Because of you guys, I've wasted so much of your time. I apologize for being rude and unable to play with you here any longer."
After saying that, he ignored Erza's shouts from inside the Demon Wind Wall, and with a surge of wind magic around him, he flew directly towards the canyon.
Inside the wind Wall.
Erza gritted her teeth and said, "Where exactly is Erigor planning to go? Isn't this station his destination?!"
at the same time.
On the tracks not far from Station, a faint gust of wind swept by, followed by a blur in the air, and then a figure seemed to appear out of thin air. Because of the high speed, a faint afterimage still lingered behind him when he stopped.
The man, dressed in a black robe and with a very handsome face, was Zeros, who had come all the way from Previous Station. He looked at the outline of Station in the distance and felt a strong aura of wind emanating from it. The corners of his mouth immediately turned up slightly, and he gave a cold smile.
"This aura... Erigor, wait for me!"
After saying that, dust billowed up from beneath his feet, and his figure blurred again, disappearing from the spot.
