Chapter 46

Just like that, another week or so passed.

In a sky unknown to anyone, a pitch-black magical airship was moving slowly.

And on the deck of the magical airship stood an old man with a helmet on his head and a sinister gaze.

"Are you certain there's no mistake?"

"Jose, ranked sixth among the Ten Holy Mages, was actually killed by a young man?"

"And it was truly an instant kill?"

Looking at the slender figure half-kneeling before him, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly.

This somewhat fearsome-looking old man was none other than the president of the Dark Mage Guild, Xinzangde Society — Hades, and also one of the original founders of Fairy Tail, Prechet Geierburg.

As for the slender figure half-kneeling before Hades, naturally it was the current councilor of the Pingyi Society, Ultear.

Ultear's true identity was a core member of Xinzangde Society, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

"President, my lord."

"This subordinate personally went to the scene and used Arc of Time to rewind the images from that time."

Upon hearing Hades's voice, Ultear immediately wore a respectful expression.

Ultear's magic was very special — it was a time-branch magic with time properties, Arc of Time.

Through the use of Arc of Time, Ultear could view images from any event within the past thirty days, and could also preserve them.

Of course, she could also see the future — after all, Arc of Time could even achieve time reversal.

But in Hades's words, viewing the future was taboo and would bring irreversible side effects.

In the original work, Ultear once reversed time by just one minute, which nearly consumed all of her lifespan, turning her directly from a girl as pretty as a flower into an old woman on the verge of death.

Saying so, Ultear played for Hades the scene of Ace's instant kill of Jose.

As the footage played, Hades suddenly fell somewhat silent.

As a mid-to-late major BOSS of Fairy Tail, Hades's strength likewise far surpassed the latter six of the Ten Holy Mages.

Let alone instant-killing Jose, even instant-killing Makarov, Hades could do it — but Hades was so much older than Ace, there was simply no comparability between the two.

Now Hades was already over a hundred years old, while Ace was at most barely past twenty.

Hades truly found it somewhat hard to imagine — in another ten years, or even just another five, what level would that young man called Ace reach.

"So young, yet possessing such terrifying strength?"

"And he's merely a captain, of the Bai Huzi Pirates — this old man has never heard of such a force in nearly a hundred years."

After watching the complete footage, Hades fell into thought.

It had to be said, the strength Ace displayed had truly, thoroughly earned Hades's attention — especially the force behind Ace, the Bai Huzi Pirates, even more so.

No one could ignore such strength.

Didn't you see — even the Pingyi Society, when they were in the right, didn't dare lightly issue a warrant for Ace, and still had to gather all personnel for a meeting to discuss it before daring to officially put out a warrant on Ace?

Perhaps the Pingyi Society couldn't be said to be afraid, but they were absolutely wary and taking it very seriously.
