"It's a Demon!"
Seeing the massive tree-shaped creature several hundred meters tall, Erza's expression became grave.
Demon-type magical beings, every single one possessed terrifying power and could easily destroy a city.
It required many Mages joining forces to hunt them down, with only a possibility of killing one.
Some especially powerful Demons could not be killed at all, only sealed.
Judging by the size of this Demon before them, its strength was definitely not weak.
However, she wasn't particularly worried; she had killed Demons before; the mission just before this one was to hunt a Demon.
But this one was clearly much stronger.
But this time she wasn't alone; there was Natsu, Gray, and Little Goku, as well as Lucy and Happy.
"Alright, now let me see, whose Soul should I start eating first?"
The Tree-shaped Demon leaned down toward everyone below, a playful smile on its face.
Natsu looked curiously at Gray: "Are Souls tasty?"
"How should I know? I've never eaten one."
Gray replied crossly, crossing his arms.
"Tasty? What's tasty? Can I eat it?"
At this moment, Little Goku also landed. Upon hearing there was something good to eat, he immediately became spirited.
"How dare you look down on me! Let me show you my strength!"
The Tree-shaped Demon saw that the Mages below didn't seem to take it seriously.
It immediately puffed out its mouth and spat a magical energy Shockwave toward a mountain several hundred meters high in the distance.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion rang out, and the mountain several hundred meters high instantly vanished.
"Hey, big guy, you look quite large, but I didn't expect your strength to be so mediocre."
Seeing the Tree-shaped Demon destroy a mountain several hundred meters tall in one strike, Little Goku showed a look of disappointment.
He thought that with such a huge body, the opponent's strength should be much greater than Erigor's from before.
He could finally have a good, unrestrained fight.
But unexpectedly, it was just average.
Is destroying a small mountain several hundred meters high impressive?
He was able to do that easily with a Kamehameha right after the World Martial Arts Tournament ended.
And now, his strength had increased by a large margin.
"Insignificant human, how dare you look down on me! Then I will kill you first!"
Hearing Little Goku's words, the Tree-shaped Demon immediately felt immensely insulted.
Its mouth opened again, a massive black magic circle formed in the air, and a powerful energy Shockwave rushed directly toward Little Goku.
Natsu and Gray were about to Move, but Erza stopped them.
"Wait, look at Little Goku!"
"Are you trying to clash beams with me?"
Seeing the energy Shockwave approaching, Little Goku brought his hands together to gather Ki, then quickly pushed them out: "Kamehameha!!!"
The Shockwave released using Ki as energy met head-on with the magical Shockwave released by the Tree-shaped Demon.
The two immediately reached a stalemate after meeting in mid-air.
"Ha!"
At this moment, Little Goku added a little more force, and the Shockwave formed by the Kamehameha smoothly overpowered the magical Shockwave, blasting straight into the Tree-shaped Demon.
"Th-this... this is impossible!"
The Tree-shaped Demon let out an incredulous scream. Under the attack of the Kamehameha, it directly vaporized and vanished from this World.
It couldn't be deader.
It was a powerful Demon created by the Black Wizard Zeref, yet today it was instantly defeated by a mere human child in one Move.
"Is this also ki magic?"
Lucy's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
She was almost scared to pee when the Demon first appeared, but Little Goku just wiped it out with one Shockwave.
Speaking of which, isn't this ki magic a bit too powerful?
Could it be one of those legendary Lost magics that have long since vanished?
"What a shame, Goku snatched the kill!"
Natsu spat fire, shouting somewhat unwillingly.
He had wanted to test his newly created Move, Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame, on that Demon, but Little Goku solved it first.
"One of you might not have been able to defeat it."
Gray was more rational.
He had encountered Demons when he was young and knew how powerful they were.
If Natsu, he, and Erza teamed up, they might be able to defeat this Demon.
But alone, let alone Natsu and him, even Erza might not be able to handle it.
"This guy's strength has already surpassed the Guild Master's, hasn't it!"
At the same time, he looked at Little Goku and mused inwardly.
Only now did he realize that before Little Goku joined Fairy Tail and learned Giant Magic from the Master,
Just relying on his ki magic, he already possessed the strength of at least an S-Class Mage.
No wonder Little Goku challenged the Master when he first joined the guild; it wasn't a joke, he truly had the power.
"Little Goku, well done!"
Erza stepped forward and patted Little Goku's shoulder, her face full of relief.
Although she already vaguely understood that Little Goku's strength might surpass hers, she felt no jealousy whatsoever.
Because in her heart, she hoped every member of the guild could become even stronger than her.
And together they would protect the guild, this big family.
"By the way, restore the station area too."
Meanwhile, in Crocus City, the headquarters of the Guild Master Alliance.
Makarov, the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, was drinking wine while showing off his new disciple to several of his closest Guild Masters.
Just then, a small bird flew over carrying a letter: "Guild Master Makarov, Guild Master Makarov, your letter."
Makarov took the letter and input his magic power, causing Mirajane's magical projection to immediately appear on the letter.
"Master, thank you for attending the regular meeting!"
"Look, look, this is our guild's signature beauty, isn't she gorgeous?"
Makarov pointed at Mirajane's magical projection and looked proudly at the surrounding Guild Masters who had gathered around.
Those Guild Masters' eyes also lit up, and they all offered compliments.
"Actually, Master, something wonderful happened in the guild while you were away!"
Mirajane's magical image explained happily: "Erza, Gray, and Natsu finally formed a small team to take on a mission. I think they are the strongest team in the guild."
"What!"
Makarov almost fainted upon hearing this.
Given the strength and personalities of these three, something big might happen, and the Council members would drown him in their spittle.
The guild's finances would also worsen.
"Don't worry, Master, I also sent the newly joined Lucy and Little Goku with them."
Fortunately, Makarov breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Mirajane's last sentence.
Lucy was relatively more level-headed, and Little Goku's ki magic could somewhat compensate for any losses incurred.
However, he was still quite anxious, fearing that the Council would suddenly send a large stack of bills and complaints.
Fortunately, by evening, a letter did arrive from the Council.
However, it was not a bill or a complaint, but a rare letter of commendation for the Fairy Tail Guild.
It commended Fairy Tail for resolving the conspiracy of the Eisenwald Guild, defeating the Demon, and saving the hostages at the station.
Crucially, they hadn't destroyed anything.
The only thing that disappeared was the mountain, which was the Demon's doing, not the work of the Fairy Tail Mages.
"Goku, having you is truly the blessing of our guild!"
Seeing the letter of commendation, Makarov shed tears silently.
This old man has suffered so much over the years!
