Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Meldy, and Levy walked in the middle, responsible for fending off monster attacks from the left and right.
Gajeel, Ultear, Lucy, Wendy, Eclair, and a few cats gathered together, following behind.
That's right.
They didn't plan to return to Fairy Tail first; they said they wanted to travel with them and complete this mission along the way.
This meant they wanted to take this opportunity to relax.
However, when Master Makarov heard the word 'phoenix' mentioned in this mission, his expression changed.
He hastily hung up the phone, saying he needed to go to the Council and that they must keep this half of the phoenix stone safe.
He didn't mention any impropriety in so many people undertaking this mission.
Only Zorn knew about this situation and quietly paid attention to Eclair.
It's just a fake phoenix, there's no need to sacrifice anyone!
Zorn thought this.
"Roar~" A giant snake opened its mouth wide, two fangs gleaming coldly as it charged.
"Get lost!"
Zorn casually waved his hand, and a giant hand of light instantly formed in the air, sending it flying with a loud bang.
Its eyes were surprisingly human-like in their stunned expression, showing that the giant snake was very confused at this moment!
"Die! Ice Make Magic!"
"Sky Dragon's Roar~"
"Heaven's Wheel Armor - Heaven's Wheel Sword!"
"Open! Gate of the Water Bearer!"
Along the way, various magic surged forth. All the magic beasts on the path were instantly sent flying, without even the slightest possibility of getting close.
How to put it!
Fairy Tail's main force was all here!
Even if the Ruby Guild and all of Jack's people came, there was no fear!
After Everyone passed through a red transparent barrier that was already tattered, a basement door of a ruined house suddenly opened.
Around the dilapidated house with crumbling walls, the environment was desolate and lonely.
Eclair stared blankly at the dilapidated house, memories intermittently surfacing.
After a few seconds of stunned, she quickly ran towards the ruins, as if to confirm something.
Everyone also quickly followed.
"Everyone, come here, there's a basement."
Zorn stood directly at the destination, shouted to Everyone, and then bent down and went inside.
Inside the basement, tree roots were embedded in the ground, moss covered everything, old tables, chairs, and benches, cluttered daily necessities, and scattered documents were everywhere.
"What a dilapidated workshop!" Erza exclaimed as she looked around.
Eclair, however, reached out blankly and touched a family photo hanging on the wall: "This... is me when I was little!"
As soon as her voice fell, the moment her hand touched the photo frame, the crystal ball on the table suddenly glowed brightly with blue light.
An image appeared, and an old, kind voice emerged.
"Eclair, if you see this image, it means..."
"This place has also been searched, but you're safe, that's truly wonderful!"
"However, your destiny... cough, cough, cough."
When the man spoke to this point, he coughed violently a few times, indicating that his body was already unwell during the recording, but he still couldn't stop worrying about his daughter.
"Eclair, the years I spent with you were the happiest times for me, but as a priestess, you have your mission!"
"And I also bear the mission of dispelling the phoenix stone's magic! I have completed dispelling the magic, but I didn't have time to use it!"
"Cough, cough, cough, I'm already seriously ill!"
"I sincerely wish you to meet excellent companions!"
"Eclair, my beloved daughter!"
"Crack, crack"
The crystal ball gradually cracked here!
The man's face showed a loving gaze, with a hint of reluctance, and he reached out, wanting to touch his daughter across time and space.
Eclair also tremblingly extended her hand, her face showing longing, saying: "Father."
The moment their two hands touched, the light disappeared, and the crystal ball had completely fulfilled its mission, shattering.
Eclair was lost in thought.
...
Night.
By the campfire, Everyone sat together, discussing what kind of magic might be in the phoenix stone.
It even made the Master's expression change.
Even the Caland Magician had to spend a lifetime to dispel this magic.
"No matter how you look at it, it's an ominous magic!" Erza said softly.
Her gaze was gentle as she watched Eclair dancing gracefully under the Moonlight.
Everyone felt the love between family members deeply.
"Father~"
Lucy also thought of her father at this moment, feeling a little worried, wondering how her father was doing now.
She planned to visit her father after this mission was over.
On the other side, the Ruby Guild.
Several people looked at Minister of State Veronica of the Stella Kingdom, who was in their guild.
"Cooperation begins~"
Two hands clasped together, reaching a preliminary agreement for cooperation.
Hatred gleamed in the eyes of both parties.
