The footsteps were very even, as if he wasn't in a hurry at all facing the three people and two cats in front of him.
"Fairy girls who have fallen into the Netherworld, you will eventually turn into corpses and wander in purgatory!"
The voice of the person who came was extremely low, as if it did not carry a trace of emotion.
As the last word fell.
Lucy and the others finally saw his face clearly.
A black and white checkered shawl, a golden helmet covered the head that had already turned into bones.
The mouth area seemed to be completely sealed with thread, but he was still able to make a sound.
Tartaros - Nine Demon Gates - The Black Archbishop - Keyes!.
"Is it a skull?!" Lucy looked at the figure opposite her in horror.
Her body was trembling slightly, not because she was afraid of this person.
Maybe for a girl, skeletons are the most terrifying thing.
"It should... just be a mask..." Wendy wasn't doing much better either.
Her body unconsciously hid behind Yukino.
"I said you guys, there's no time to be afraid now, isn't it just a skeleton?" Carla pulled the corner of her mouth.
Then she pointed to the constantly passing time.
"We don't have time now!"
Carla's words brought Lucy and Wendy back from their fear of skeletons.
The two took a deep breath.
"That's right, we have to stop Face quickly..." Lucy murmured.
"Otherwise things will be terrible." Wendy calmed down.
Just as the few people were preparing to escape first.
Another figure came out from behind Keyes.
"Oh ho ho ho, things have already become terrible, little girls!"
One of the Nine Demon Gates, Franmalth!
"Another person?!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Um... I don't think that should be considered a person..."
Looking at the dark yellow figure, with only one single eye on his head, Lucy couldn't help but make a complaint.
After thinking for a while, Lucy made up her mind.
"Someone must stop them here."
"I'll leave it to me, you guys go and stop Face!"
As she spoke, she took out two keys from the key bag around her waist.
Magic power burst out instantly.
"Open, Gate of Taurus & Gate of Aries!"
"Taurus & Aries!"
Under the golden magic circle, Taurus and Aries revealed their figures.
"Moo~ is it my turn to appear!" Taurus roared loudly, holding the axe tightly.
"I will try my best, I'm sorry~"
Aries' soft and glutinous voice also sounded at this moment.
"I'm counting on you!" Lucy's arm pointed at the two people opposite her.
"Yes!"
"Moo!"
The two celestial spirits responded in unison.
Pink light lit up in Aries' hand, and then she waved it out suddenly.
"Fluffy Wool, 100%!"
Large swaths of wool spread out from Aries' hand.
Occupying this space in just a moment.
And also completely wrapped Keyes and Franmalth.
"Moo!¨．!" Taurus waved the giant axe in his hand.
And slashed down fiercely towards the two, the terrifying impact even split a gully on the ground.
Then it slammed on Keyes and Franmalth, who were unable to move in the wool.
"Ooooooo~~"
Franmalth made a sound that was not known whether it was laughter or crying.
As for Keyes, he was still as stable as Mount Tai, and the terrifying impact directly penetrated his body.
And slammed on the wall behind him.
And the part that was hit gradually healed up, as if it were smoke.
Although it did not harm the two of the Nine Demon Gates.
But at least it bought some time.
Lucy quickly looked at Wendy and Yukino and the two cats on the side.
"You guys take advantage of this time to quickly go and stop Face!"
But such words aroused a loud rebuttal from Wendy.
"The opponents are two of the Nine Demon Gates, you will be in danger alone!"
Her eyes turned to the depths of the wool, the two who were restrained, and then she spoke.
"Let me do it, I'll stop them!"
"Now is not the time to argue about this, go quickly!" Lucy turned her head and looked at Wendy.
"None of you can go!" A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
The wool wrapping Franmalth was torn apart at this moment.
And his body was also rapidly approaching the few people.
"Libra!" Yukino rushed in front of the two, and the golden key in her hand waved down.
The terrifying gravity instantly disrupted Franmalth's pace.
And directly pressed him to the ground.
The vast force even caused cracks to appear on the ground under Franmalth.
"If Lucy is in danger alone, then add me!"
"Lord Wendy and Lady Carla, you go quickly!"
Yukino said in a deep voice.
Looking at this situation, Wendy finally nodded.
"Be careful!"
She turned to look at Carla.
"Then let's set off, we must not let Face be activated!"
"The target is in the Doku River Valley Grand Canyon, it will take about 25 minutes if we fly at full speed, there are still 38 minutes left, we have to speed up."
After silently calculating the time, Carla, immediately opened her wings and flew out of the castle with Wendy.
"Franmalth, I'll leave things here to you." After Keyes finished saying this sentence.
Without waiting for Franmalth to respond, he stabbed the ground with the scepter in his hand.
His whole person turned into a strange black mist and disappeared in place.
Inside the passage of Tartaros.
Carla and Wendy were rapidly flying forward.
"No way! That person is..." Suddenly, Wendy exclaimed, looking at the figure that appeared in front of her.
"That skull just now!" Carla was also full of surprise.
Wendy frowned: "How could this be, shouldn't he be behind us?"
"Never mind, let's just rush over!" Carla bit her lip.
The flight speed increased again.
Strange purple-black curse power gradually seeped out from Keyes's body.
"You can't pass, little..."
Keyes seemed to want to say something, but the sudden attack from behind interrupted his words.
"Get out of here!"
