"Come out! Or should I invite you out?!"
Medivh looked at the distant forest and said coldly.
"Could it be, there are enemies there?"
Ur immediately reacted to this. She clenched her right hand into a fist, striking her left palm, and assumed a stance for Ice Make Magic, vigilant of her surroundings.
"As expected of a Magician from the Fairy Tail Guild, to have discovered my presence..."
Just as Ur was tense, a tall figure, holding a monk's staff, draped in an ancient kasaya, exuding a chilling aura, and with an extremely hideous face, walked out from the forest and stood before Medivh and Ur.
"You, who are you?"
Ur's pupils suddenly constricted at this sight.
"Greetings, humans! Allow me to introduce myself..."
"My name is The Black Priest Keith, a member of the Tartaros Nine Demon Gates. Of course, you may not have heard of my name..."
"You only need to know that we, Tartaros, are all demons from the great Black Wizard Zeref's Book."
The Black Priest introduced himself.
"Demons from Zeref's Book?!"
"What is your relationship with Deliora?"
Ur was startled at first, then realized something. She looked at The Black Priest and questioned loudly.
"Hehe, originally, Lord Deliora was also personally appointed by that Lord, as a member of Tartaros's highest cadres, the Nine Demon Gates!"
"Unfortunately, Lord Deliora has now been completely annihilated by you humans, not even a corpse remains."
The Black Priest sighed helplessly.
"What exactly is your conspiracy?"
Ur continued to pry information from The Black Priest, hoping to extract more intelligence about Tartaros from him.
"Conspiracy? You say conspiracy? Hehe!" The Black Priest sneered, as if he had heard something amusing. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Our very existence is the greatest con—"
"Boom!!"
Before The Black Priest could say more, immense gravity pressed down on his body.
"Ugh..."
The Black Priest, caught off guard, was directly pressed to the ground by Medivh's gravity before he could dodge.
"Why waste so many words with him?"
"Just send him to meet Deliora..."
Medivh slightly raised his finger, and the gravity exerted on The Black Priest grew stronger and stronger.
"Human! Tartaros will not let you go..."
"Lord Mard Geer, the 'Underworld King', will avenge me!"
The Black Priest looked at Medivh and roared, unwilling to be annihilated just like that.
"Dark Paradise: Confined Space!"
As Medivh raised his hand, terrifying gravity instantly twisted into a huge void before him. The gravity at the center of that void was extraordinarily immense; even light and shadow would be drawn in and ultimately shredded by it.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Ur immediately released an ice wall to help Gray and the others block the aftershocks of Medivh's magic.
"Ah!! No..."
As for The Black Priest, who couldn't finish his harsh words, his curse magic itself was not good at combat...
After being designated as a target for destruction by Medivh's Dark Paradise, he had no ability to resist and was directly sucked into the dark void by the immense gravitational pull, then disappeared without a trace.
It was as if The Black Priest had never even existed in this world...
"So strong!"
"This overwhelming power is beyond even my reach right now."
Once the immense gravity dissipated, Ur removed the ice wall. She first praised Medivh's strength, then looked at him and asked, "You just killed him?! We haven't even clarified his intentions."
"Not really! I only destroyed his physical body. His demon soul, along with his good brother Deliora, are both imprisoned in the Dark Paradise: Confined Space by me. So don't worry, it's fine~" Medivh has always been a good child who knows how to save.
How could he directly destroy The Black Priest and Deliora, such good nutrients?!
These were all created by Mr. Zeref himself, with great effort back in the day...
These excellent demon souls...
Of course, they are reserved for Mirajane, who is about to join the Guild~
"Gray and Lyon, this is the first lesson I'm teaching you: never be merciful when you encounter demons; your mercy will only harm yourself."
Medivh looked at Gray and Lyon and said softly.
Any creature under attack will feel pain, fear, or reveal weaknesses!
But demons don't have that feeling; demons have no pain receptors! (Immortal Tempester, etc., these are Mr. Zeref's early works.)
Natsu: Huh?!
Finally...
After The Black Priest and Deliora both died, the Gray incident finally came to an end.
However, Medivh found that his simulation had not ended.
So, after bidding farewell to Silver and Mihua, he embarked on a new journey with Ur, Gray, and Lyon.
"Don't follow us!"
Ur was quite speechless about this.
"I am Gray's guardian."
"Gray's parents personally entrusted this responsibility to me."
Medivh shrugged, using his status as Gray's guardian to follow Gray to Ur's house for free food and lodging.
"Mihua, it's time for us to have a spontaneous trip too."
After watching Gray and the others leave, Silver looked at his delicate wife, Mihua, beside him and said softly.
"Darling, whatever you say."
Mihua lay in Silver's arms, speaking shyly.
Well, Gray's appearance was just a small accident; Mihua and Silver are true love.
At the same time, Silver watched Gray's departing direction and secretly thought, "Gray, as a father, how could I let all the pressure fall on you?! Go confidently, Mihua and you, I will protect you both."
Before Medivh left, he pointed him in the right direction.
Although the road ahead was extremely difficult, for the sake of his wife and son, he would definitely succeed in learning that legendary magic specifically for annihilating demons—Ice Devil Slayer Magic!
Meanwhile...
In Tartaros, the Dark Magic Guild known as Zeref's Bookshelf.
"The Black Priest and Deliora have all been annihilated?"
"Did a strong human take action?"
"It seems I need to give humans a small warning! Too much time has passed, so much so that they have forgotten who the true master of this continent is?!"
Inside the gloomy Guild.
A disheveled young man with black hair, always holding a Magic Book, sat quietly dozing on the throne...
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, opening his tightly closed eyes. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
However, just as the young man was about to move, he suddenly noticed a burning sensation from the Magic Book in his hand.
"No! That's not right..."
"Those humans are deliberately luring me out."
"Hundreds of years have passed, and their goal still hasn't changed!"
"They are still planning to steal the Book of Zeref from me."
"Hehe, thankfully I realized it..."
"These damnable and despicable humans, I will not let you succeed."
"The great Book of Zeref shall be guarded by me, Mard Geer!!"
The young man muttered to himself. He sat back down on the throne, clutching the book in his hand even tighter, his wise eyes seemingly having seen through everything.
If Medivh were here at this moment, he would surely point at the young man's nose and laugh, "Mard Geer, your Guild Master E.N.D. (Etherious Natsu Dragneel), calls me Medivh Ge every day in the Guild."
