### Chapter 47: Godspeed
"Eisenwald!!"
Lucy and Happy exclaimed. Wasn't this exactly the target they were looking for?
"What do those people want with hijacking a train?! Trains can only run on tracks; hijacking one doesn't really have any benefits, right?"
Lucy was very puzzled about this.
Happy said: "But trains are fast! Is there something urgent they need to do?"
Erza said with a serious face: "I have a bad feeling. Could this action be related to the 'Lullaby' Magic they obtained? Otherwise, a Dark Guild mobilizing all its members and hijacking a train—this behavior is very abnormal."
"Lullaby... Lullaby... Cradle song... Sleep... Death..."
Lucy suddenly started muttering.
Happy looked at Lucy curiously: "What's wrong? Lucy?"
"Hmm... Ever since I first heard this name from Erza, I've had a sense of familiarity, as if I've seen it somewhere. Ah! I remember! I know about the Lullaby Magic!"
"What kind of Magic is it?"
Erza asked somewhat eagerly.
"I only read about it in a book. Curse killing is one of the banned Magics, right? Lullaby is an even more terrifying Magic than that—Mass Curse Killing Magic, Cursed Song!! It is said that anyone who hears the 'Cursed Song' will die."
"?!"
Erza and Happy's expressions changed drastically. Mass Curse Killing Magic—if Erigor got hold of such a thing, who knows what dangerous things he would do.
"We can't let the 'Cursed Song' fall into the hands of a guy like Erigor. We have to chase them quickly!"
Lucy said: "They took the train and have been gone for so long. It's hard for us to catch up."
"Even so, we must chase! Since they have such dangerous Magic, we must stop them before they act!"
Erza appeared somewhat agitated. She didn't expect that just a moment of negligence allowed such dangerous Magic to fall into the hands of a Dark Guild.
Riku patted Erza's shoulder and smiled: "Don't rush, Erza. Leave this matter to me."
Seeing Riku's smile, Erza calmed down slightly.
Riku looked at the staff member and asked: "How long has the train been gone?"
The staff member answered: "About an hour."
Riku nodded: "Hmm, an hour? Acceptable."
After speaking, Riku jumped onto the train tracks, moved his fingers, and stretched his waist.
"Riku, the train has been gone for an hour. What are you going to do? It's impossible to catch up!"
Lucy was very puzzled seeing Riku jumping onto the tracks to stretch.
Riku smiled and said: "Well, if the train were traveling elsewhere, it might be a bit troublesome. But since the train is traveling on tracks, this distance is nothing."
"I'll go ahead and deal with them all. You guys can come slowly."
As he spoke, blue-white lightning particles radiated from Riku's body.
In the next instant, Riku's entire body turned into lightning and merged into the tracks, rushing out at extreme speed, disappearing in an instant.
"Wha... what?!!"
Lucy was dumbfounded watching this scene. A person actually turned into lightning. What kind of Magic was this?
She originally thought Natsu's Magic of eating fire was outrageous enough, but Riku's Magic seemed even more outrageous.
Erza's eyes also lit up. She had seen Riku's elemental teleportation, but she didn't expect Riku could elementalize and move through the conductor of the tracks. At the speed of lightning, he would definitely catch up to the train in no time.
"Let's hurry and catch up too."
"Aye!"
On the train.
Everyone from Eisenwald was gathered here.
Shinigami Erigor played with a three-eyed skull flute in his hand: "As expected of the forbidden Magic known as 'Cursed Song'. It's actually just a flute like this. This flute was originally just an ordinary curse-killing tool, but the great Dark Mage Zeref evolved it into a higher-level Magic Flute. Anyone who hears the sound of this flute will be cursed to death. 'Mass Curse Killing Magic' Cursed Song!!"
"Those damn high-ranking officials who arbitrarily strip others of their rights while doing nothing themselves, it's time to announce the dark era. Let the deaths of those old geezers open the prelude to this dark era! An era belonging to our Eisenwald!!"
"OHHHHHHHH!!"
Everyone in the Eisenwald guild was excited. They had waited too long for this day.
Since Eisenwald was reduced to a Dark Guild six years ago, the missions they could accept became fewer and fewer, and sometimes they had nothing to do.
Falling from glory to this state while those regular guilds remained glorious naturally filled their hearts with resentment, constantly thinking of revenge.
It was just that their strength wasn't enough to contend with those regular guilds. They lingered on only because they joined the Dark Guild Alliance.
Now that they had obtained the 'Cursed Song', they possessed a weapon of mass destruction. As long as they killed all the Guild Masters of those regional guilds, Eisenwald would become famous worldwide.
Just then, someone in the driver's cab saw a person standing on the train tracks ahead.
"There's someone on the tracks!"
"Ignore him! It must be someone unsatisfied with life wanting to commit suicide. We'll grant his wish! Accelerate! Smash him to pieces!!"
The person speaking had a cruel and excited expression on his face. Killing people was nothing to a Dark Guild.
Riku looked at the accelerating train with an unchanged expression, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly pulled a coin from his pocket.
Ding————!
The coin was flicked up.
Crackle crackle!
High-voltage lightning wrapped around Riku's arm.
Whoosh————!!
An orange light streaked through the air. That was the light generated by the friction and burning of the coin with the atmosphere at high speed, like a meteor.
BOOM————!
