Chapter 151

Compared to the others, Erza, who had always been cautious and exceptionally observant, clearly felt the change within herself the moment she stepped into the territory of Rain Hidden Village.

"What?"

"What happened, Erza?"

Natsu, hearing Erza's words, stopped with a completely bewildered look on his face.

Natsu here represents the vast majority of mages, completely unaware that the originally abundant and active magical power within their bodies had suddenly become somewhat listless, with both explosive power and circulation speed showing a slight decline compared to before.

Looking at the solemn expression on Erza's face, Natsu waved his hand and said confidently, "I don't feel any problem with my body, it's pretty much the same as before."

"No, Natsu, we really have been cursed."

"The magical power within our bodies has become less active than before."

Gray, looking at the oblivious Natsu, also wore a solemn expression.

Then, with his hands pressed together, accompanied by a flash of a silver-white magic circle, an ice sculpture the size of a palm appeared in Gray's hand — a hawk with wings spread in flight.

Under the sunlight, the hawk emitted a faint glow, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Looking at the completely clueless Natsu, Gray said with a solemn expression, "After my magical activity decreased, my Ice-Make magic has been weakened across the board — the precision and intensity of my magic have both been reduced."

Compared to the single-track-minded Natsu, Gray understood very clearly what this weakening symbolized.

It was a very simple matter — between two people originally evenly matched in strength, if the magical activity within one of them was weakened even slightly, the final result would be that the weakened party would be utterly thrashed by the other.

When the combat power gap is within five percent, the fight can go back and forth, with the outcome even undecided.

But once the combat power gap reaches ten percent, the battle may become one-sided.

"Then our situation right now is pretty bad."

"Erza didn't mention it earlier so I didn't really notice, but now I can feel it too."

Looking at Erza and Gray, both with solemn expressions, Lucy's face gradually became cautious and fearful as she said, "The magical power in my body does indeed seem a bit more listless compared to before."

"If that's the case, my Celestial Spirit Magic will also be affected to some extent."

"After all, although the strength of the Celestial Spirits isn't absolutely tied to me, the intensity of my magical power can still provide some amplification to them to a greater or lesser degree, and it's not out of the question that the Celestial Spirits themselves have also been affected."

As she continued speaking, Lucy's expression at this moment also became increasingly solemn.

Although the degree of decrease for each person wasn't very obvious, taken together, everyone's combat power had definitely dropped by a notch — this was not something that could be ignored.

"Everyone, be prepared."

"At this point, we clearly can no longer afford to retreat."

Not far away, although Makarov's expression was solemn, there was not the slightest hint of retreat.

From the very beginning, Makarov knew this was absolutely not a simple matter, and this battle was absolutely not child's play — in fact, it was different from any battle that had come before.

Everyone present needed to make the resolve to sacrifice themselves here.

Thinking of this, Makarov glanced at Erza and the others not far away — he had always regarded the members of the Weibagong Society as his own children.

Bringing children to participate in a war where total annihilation was not even a surprise, Makarov was also exceptionally heartbroken.

But just as Makarov had said, since things had already reached this point and everyone had already stepped into this brand-new subspace, there was simply no room for retreat.

They had to completely destroy the Akatsuki organization's schemes.

What followed naturally became simple — the allied forces began rapidly advancing toward the target set from the very beginning: the Akatsuki organization's headquarters.

Because it had already been learned from Aizen Sousuke that every official member of the Akatsuki organization possessed formidable strength, and going one-on-one would very likely result in being picked off one by one.

Therefore, the allied forces did not adopt any so-called scattered action, but instead carried out a strict division of labor, steadily advancing toward the destination........

。。。。。。

At some unknown point, the originally bright and sunny sky suddenly became somewhat overcast.

A light drizzle began to fall on the small island where Rain Hidden Village was located.

This was Xuanwozhang Sect's detection ninjutsu, capable of hiding his vast chakra within every raindrop in the sky — in other words, every drop of rain in the sky was equivalent to Xuanwozhang Sect's eyes.

Because the outcome had long been decided, Lin Cheng, apart from stating his requirements, completely let go of his control over the puppets, activating their intelligent mode to act according to his plan.

This rain was deployed by Xuanwozhang Sect on his own initiative.

Xuanwozhang Sect had not yet reached the moment to make his appearance, and could not directly strike at the allied forces, but using detection ninjutsu to expose positions was still not much of a problem.
