Chapter 13

Erza had seen Ace’s performance just now very clearly; it was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying strength a person who could be called ‘very troublesome’ by Ace would have.

Thinking of this, Erza had nothing to hesitate about.

After taking a pitying look at the guild building that was already crumbling behind her, she very decisively prepared to order all members of Fairy Tail to stay away from this place that was about to become a new battlefield.

However, before Erza could continue to say anything, she felt a chill suddenly emerge from the depths of her heart.

Then a voice that sounded full of strangeness came from not far away.

I saw that, I don’t know when, a man who looked obviously mentally abnormal and had green hair appeared in mid-air.

At this time, if Kyoka and Jackal from Tartaros were here, they would definitely be able to recognize this green-haired man as the guy who killed them that day, the Witch Cult’s Sin Archbishop, Sloth Archbishop.

The appearance of Sloth made everyone in Fairy Tail who saw Sloth for the first time jump in their hearts.

The manic expression, bloodshot eyes, and the posture that revealed madness all over his body.

All were showing Sloth’s terror.

“Leaving?”

“Too slothful; everything has just begun, and you want to leave.”

Sloth looked at Ace below, with a strange smile on his face, saying: “Truly shameful for diligence.”

“So it was you who was staying there just now?”

“What a pity, didn’t have time to save this Guild Master Jose.”

“I just felt that Guild Master Jose got along very well with you rats in the gutter.”

Facing Sloth’s appearance, Ace, while vigilant, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ace’s action of breathing a sigh of relief made Erza beside him look sideways, but considering the tense situation now, Erza didn’t say anything more.

Ace looked at Sloth and sneered: “Still the same as before, always slothful and diligent.”

“It seems Old Man didn’t hurt you enough last time.”

Everything was proceeding according to the script Lin Cheng had set long ago.

Although strictly speaking, the opposition between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Witch Cult felt a bit like a hodgepodge, and proper pirates against the navy should be more grounded.

But Lin Cheng only had these two that could hold the stage a little bit.

So he could only forcibly stage a scene where the Whitebeard Pirates and the Witch Cult didn’t get along.

“Jose’s death is just because he was too slothful.”

“Slothful people have no way to bear ‘her’ love.”

Facing Ace’s provocation, Sloth still had his signature strange smile on his face, saying: “And now, I have received new guidance.”

“I, who am slothful, can actually be guided, can actually be so diligent.”

“Ah! The brain is trembling!”

Following Sloth’s words, Ace’s expression changed fiercely, and he directly used himself as the origin point, and endless flames surged out crazily.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the Fairy Tail guild headquarters, which was already crumbling, completely became ruins.

Ace held Erza around the waist and jumped away from the spot with a solemn face.

Of course, Ace’s control over flames was very high, and he didn’t hurt the Fairy Tail crowd who hadn’t reacted; Ace holding Erza away was also just to avoid invisible attacks.

“This is…”

Erza looked at the outline looming in the flames, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

At this time, Ace held Erza and jumped into mid-air, so Erza could see very clearly that in the flames, I don’t know when, beside every Fairy Tail guild member, there was an extra invisible palm.

If it weren’t for Ace’s sudden explosion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“This is the authority of the Witch Cult’s Sin Archbishop, Unseen Hand.”

“Although the speed of these hands is not fast, the power is very strong, and they cannot be seen or perceived at all.”

Ace looked at the invisible palms that were gradually burned and disappeared by the flames he exploded, and explained with a serious expression: “Even if you use Kenbunshoku Haki, you can only perceive the existence of the hands through indirect means, not directly.”

“Can only be indirectly manifested through dust, water, or flames like this.”

Because the information about Sloth’s authority, Unseen Hand, had already been obtained by Tartaros, Lin Cheng, in order to make the script more realistic, directly let Ace’s mouth spill the information about Unseen Hand.

‘Kenbunshoku Haki?’

Erza heard a new term pop out of Ace’s mouth again, and the confusion on her face became more and more serious.

However, Erza also knew that this Witch Cult Sin Archbishop might be Ace’s strong enemy, so she didn’t speak to Ace without authorization, lest Ace be distracted and fall into a disadvantage.

Just like this, Lin Cheng used the verbal confrontation between Ace and Sloth to gradually make the images of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Witch Cult three-dimensional.

Whitebeard Pirates, Witch Cult.

These two secret organizations that had never appeared before appeared in everyone’s sight for the first time.

At the same time, with Sloth’s official debut and action, the scene also became complicated.

The war that was originally just between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail had now become a battle between two brand-new forces that had surfaced.

‘Witch Cult’s Sin Archbishop.’

‘Whitebeard Pirates’ Second Division Commander.’

Not just the crowd on Fairy Tail’s side, the Phantom Lord crowd who had been very quiet since Jose was killed also knew the situation here through monitor magic.

Constantly pondering the two brand-new forces that appeared suddenly today.

And what makes people palpitate is that whether it is the Second Division Commander or the so-called Witch Cult Sin Archbishop, it seems they are not the top bosses; I am afraid the truly terrifying ones are still behind.

‘Witch Cult…’

‘Will it have a connection with the Black Magic Cult?’

While palpitating and shocked, Erza was also thinking.

Because she was caught as a slave by the Black Magic Cult that worshipped Zeref when she was a child, Erza had a particularly deep memory of the Black Magic Cult.

So the first moment she heard about the Witch Cult, she associated it with the Black Magic Cult.

After all, they are both sects that worship a certain existence extremely.

It’s just that Erza didn’t have much time to think.

Soon, Ace and Sloth began to slaughter each other under everyone’s gaze.
