"Or, why don't you go and hold that guy off for a minute?" Gajeel asked, looking at the group.
"And then I went to launch a sneak attack??"
【"besides!"】
At this point, Gajeel shook his head: "To be honest, I've always had doubts about whether your so-called sneak attack can actually succeed."
"You know, that guy is a Dragon Slayer Mage. His nose is at least as good as mine. He could very well smell someone lying in wait."
Aria waved her hand: "Don't worry about that. My concealment methods aren't just about being detected by scent."
"By using the barrier of the wind, they can completely isolate my scent."
Gajeel asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course," Aria replied affirmatively.
"I don't care if it's true or not, I'm definitely not going alone."
"This is no different from sending someone to their death."
Gajeel crossed his arms, his attitude resolute.
The people present exchanged glances.
"Alright, Gajeel and I will go head-on," said Usagi-maru.
"Let's distract that guy for a while, then Mr. Saul can launch his attack."
"With the three of us surrounding him, he'll inevitably use powerful magic, at which point I can manipulate his flames."
"If your own flames are controlled, I think anyone would experience a brief moment of vulnerability, right?"
"In this way, Aria, who has been quietly approaching during this time we created, can have her magic removed."
[Rabbit Maru quickly explained her plan.]
The others were all fine, so ultimately, the three of them focused their attention on Gajeel.
[He took a deep breath.]
"I'll say it again."
"The operation is fine, but... if things go wrong, that is, if you fail, I will not hesitate to run away."
"I don't want to die here in vain."
"It's really hard to imagine that Mr. Gajeel would say such a thing," Thor said, adjusting his glasses.
"Alright, enough talk, let's get started!"
"Gajeel, let's go first!" said Usagi-maru.
The plan is set.
Aria's figure gradually disappeared into the air.
Thor swayed and gradually merged into the earth.
"Honestly, I'm not even fully recovered from my injuries, why would I do something like this?"
Gajeel is still complaining.
However, she still followed Rabbit Maru and took a step.
[They rushed...towards the Ghostly branch below.]
【…】
At this moment, Henna had already signaled Happy to step back.
He stood alone atop the ruins of the Phantom Division.
[Quietly...waiting for something.]
Suddenly! The sharp whooshing sound made him open his eyes.
With a light touch of the ground, he leaped high into the air, his body flipping backward.
He performed a backflip and landed on a high rock.
His gaze returned to the spot where he had just been standing.
The blinding flames, combined with the extended iron rod, struck the target, creating a deafening roar like an explosion.
Sand and dust flew everywhere.
Broken stones fell from mid-air with a crisp clatter.
Two figures gradually emerged from behind the rising dust.
Black Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly.
[A smile playing at the corners of the lips.]
"You dare come back, Gajeel?"
Gajeel, whose name was called, looked up and gazed at Henna, who stood high above.
My heart skipped a beat!
Scenes from last night flooded Gajeel's mind like a tidal wave.
Even their bodies involuntarily took two steps back.
"Mr. Gajeel!"
[The sound of Tutu-maru speaking up immediately startled Gajeel, who was gripped by fear.]
Without hesitation, Usagi-maru drew the blade from her waist.
"Hey! You've gone too far!"
[Honatsu glanced at Usagi.]
"Who are you?"
[Rabbit Maru paused, then spoke with displeasure.]
"You dare to openly provoke the Spectre to this extent? Don't you even know about the Spectre's four elements?"
"I am one of the four elements, the fire element Rabbit Maru!"
"The four elements... I don't need to remember them." Henna shook his head slightly.
"In my opinion, anyone with the Ghostly Mark is the same!"
"Anyway, you're not much better than those small fry."
[Rabbit Maru was so angry she almost laughed.]
"Such unexpected confidence, huh? But I am a mage capable of controlling all the world's fires, specifically designed to deal with fire-wielding individuals like you."
"I told you, this kind of thing doesn't matter. 933, since you're here to defeat me, hurry up," Henatsu said.
His gaze naturally drifted to the ground.
"Oh, and let the guys hiding in the ground come out too."
"Since it's a coordinated attack, shouldn't we at least present ourselves as outnumbered?"
"Otherwise, these two guys might not last until you get out."
[Honatsu finished speaking.]
The ground around Gajeel and the others rippled like water.
Immediately afterwards, Thor, dressed in a brown suit, short in stature, and wearing a single eye, emerged from the earth.
"As expected, Gajeel was right. This method doesn't work on Dragon Slayer Mages."
Thor sighed helplessly.
But a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes behind the glasses.
At least, Aria was right; his concealment was indeed able to evade the detection of Dragon Slayer Mages.
"Three against one, you have no chance of winning." Usagi-maru pointed his longsword at Black Natsu.
[The tone was chilling.]
Henna glanced casually at the empty surroundings.
He gave a disdainful smile.
With a light step, he leaped off the boulder and landed on the ground.
He casually walked towards the three people ahead, hands in his pockets.
"So... what exactly makes you think that a mere three people can kill me?"
"Looks like I was underestimated after all."
Henna walked towards the three of them step by step.
An inexplicable sense of terror reverberated through the empty ruins as the words were spoken.
For some reason, at that moment, both Rabbit Maru and Thor seemed to freeze.
