The Hellfire Dragon had burned his soul to undo the freezing of Sun Village, fulfilling his duty.
Drake and the others returned to the guild the next day.
After reporting the details of the mission to Makarov, rather than being upset about his son Ivan being transformed into a demon, Makarov was even happier that this group of destruction kings hadn't caused any major trouble this time.
It seemed that the old man had completely given up on his rebellious son during the Grand Magic Games, so he wasn't as upset after hearing the related news.
And what Makarov was more concerned about was the appearance of the demon converts.
Nothing could make Makarov feel the sense of crisis that Tartaros was taking action more than this.
And Drake's memory hadn't been wrong. Soon, news of a major incident caused by Tartaros came.
One of the Nine Demon Gates, Jackal, attacked the Council headquarters, causing heavy casualties. Even several Council members had died.
Fortunately, Crime Sorcière, who had obtained the information, intervened and rescued some of the people. Otherwise, the Council, which managed all the mages on the continent, would have been wiped out.
Ultear had talked about the specific situation during their last contact, and he had also heard that Crime Sorcière had expanded during this opportunity.
Jellal had beaten the Oración Seis, who had been released from prison, into submission, and had recruited everyone except the leader, Brain, into Crime Sorcière.
Jellal's face was reflected in the crystal ball, sharing all the information with everyone in Fairy Tail.
And everyone in Fairy Tail was present. This was a war to protect the guild, and no one would be content to hide in the rear.
"The Council does control several extremely dangerous weapons, which are preserved using different sealing methods.
For example, Magic Power Pulse requires the agreement of nine Council members and the release code held by ten senior staff members to activate.
But Tartaros directly and mercilessly attacked the Council members. It seems that their target is that White Legacy."
Then Jellal told everyone about Face.
Just hearing that it could eliminate all the magic power on the continent was enough to make everyone face this problem with the utmost caution.
They had to know that erasing all the magic power would not only make it impossible for everyone to replenish their magic power, but it would also cause all mages and people with magic power in their bodies to suffer from magic power deficiency, which could be fatal.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Face was a terrifying weapon that could destroy the world.
Makarov said, So Tartaros's target is the three Council members who are biologically connected.
However, even the three Council members themselves don't know about this, so Tartaros simply killed all the Council members.
We absolutely can't let them succeed. We'll take action immediately to protect the Council members who are scattered in various places.
Drake, however, suddenly said, "Passive defense will only allow Tartaros to lead us by the nose, and dispersing our forces will make it easy for them to find loopholes."
Jellal in the crystal ball couldn't help but nod. During this time, Crime Sorcière could be said to have been running around trying to protect the Council members who might be attacked, but they still hadn't been able to stop Tartaros's actions.
Makarov sighed and said, "Unfortunately, we don't know where Tartaros's headquarters is. Otherwise...!"
Makarov's expression was full of unwillingness. How would he be willing to be passively beaten?
If he could attack their headquarters, he would have already taken the children and taken action.
Drake stroked his chin and said, "I do have a plan that might allow us to find Tartaros's base!"
...
A figure walked out of the darkness, looking at Drake, who had been thrown on the ground with his eyes closed, and said coldly, "So this is Fairy Tail's Flame Dragon. He doesn't seem like much, does he?"
The fat, adult figure who had brought Drake here gave a treacherous laugh and said, "How could he have thought that I would poison his tea? But whether or not you can get him to tell you Jellal's whereabouts depends on you!"
Another shapely figure walked over and said, "Even when he's unconscious, I can still feel that burning magic power. It's only fun to torture humans like this.
So as the beginning of the torture, let's start by humiliating him!"
Saying this, the woman was about to tear off Drake's clothes, but just as her hand was about to touch Drake's scarf, a handcuffed hand grabbed her wrist.
"This is my precious thing. I can't let anyone touch it casually."
Drake had opened his eyes at some point, and with a movement of his hands, he actually broke the magic power-sealing handcuffs crudely.
"How did you...?"
Drake stood up and said disdainfully, "Are you asking how I didn't get knocked out? You're underestimating the sense of smell of a Dragon Slayer too much. The medicine in that cup of tea was so strong that there's no way I couldn't smell it!"
Time returned to half an hour ago. Drake had flown directly to a building that looked like a library.
When Jellal had defected seven years ago, it had caused the Council to collapse for the first time.
Since then, a batch of Council members from the previous generation had retired one after another.
The former chairman, Crawford Seam, had also retired behind the scenes, and was now living in seclusion here.
Drake entered this luxurious house and met the former Council chairman, who was chubby and had a large beard.
After learning Drake's identity, Crawford warmly entertained Drake with chamomile tea that he had personally grown.
Drake didn't rush to ask about Face, and instead chatted with him about everything under the sun.
He had stalled like this for a long time, and Drake stopped talking, and tapped his fingers on the table. That appearance made Crawford, who was sitting opposite him, feel uneasy.
Suddenly, the windows were broken together, and a group of people wearing armor broke in.
Drake stood up and said, "Chairman, it seems that you've also been targeted!"
Crawford's smile was a bit forced, but Drake wasn't in the mood to look at his expression.
Drake glanced at these armored people. Not one of them had magic power that was worth looking at. They were a bunch of genuine small fry.
Although he knew that these small fry had just come to disrupt the view and stall for time, this was really too perfunctory.
After only ten seconds, all these armored people had fallen to the ground.
Because these small fry were too easy to defeat, Drake didn't know what he should do next.
Looking at Crawford's expectant and puzzled eyes, Drake knew that he should "pass out"!
Who would have thought that the dignified former chairman of the Council would actually be bought by Tartaros and become a traitor, selling a lot of important information.
He had leaked the situation of Face and the situation of the various Council members to Tartaros.
And this matter itself was also the biggest loophole. The existence of Face and its sealing method were also top secret within the Council. For Tartaros to know about this, there must have been a traitor on the inside.
And the only one who could grasp such detailed information, allowing Tartaros to succeed repeatedly, was the former chairman, Crawford.
And the most surprising thing in the original plot was that Natsu was the first to think of this. And this time, Drake was using this information to get Crawford to take him to Tartaros's headquarters.
A corner of the huge, flying, rocky cube exploded with a bang, and a flame flew out of the gap and formed the Fairy Tail guild mark in the sky.
Drake looked directly at the three people in front of him and said, "Now, this is our war between Fairy Tail and Tartaros!"
