Endless Tree Sea.
Oración Seis gathered here.
"I heard it, I heard the sound of light shattering and falling."
Cobra looked at the Endless Tree Sea below, from which black substances were emerging, a look of excitement on his face.
"You're quite impatient, Cobra, though being fast isn't necessarily a bad thing," Racer said.
"Of course, this is where that magic is hidden, Racer, it's bound to make one's heart race."
Hoteye's eyes gleamed with the light of gold coins. "Nirvana, a magic that shatters all light, it sounds very valuable."
Angel, the only female among the Oración Seis, said, "Don't measure everything by money. Nirvana is not such a shallow magic."
Brain, the leader of the Oración Seis, said, "The legendary magic is finally falling into our hands. Look, the earth is slowly dying, simply because Nirvana is nearby."
Angel said, "Those guys of light certainly won't stand by and do nothing."
Brain spread his hands. "It doesn't matter. At this point, no one can stop us. As long as we obtain Nirvana, the entire world will be in our grasp."

"I didn't expect us to be on a mission together again so soon." Erza said with a smile.
She always undertook quests alone, but the feeling of doing a quest with companions was also very good. Along the way, she had companions to chat with, and reliable partners to depend on during battles. For Erza, these were all very good experiences.
Lucy clapped her hands happily when she heard Erza's words. "Yes. What a wonderful coincidence. Why don't we team up?"
"No way!"
Before Takeshi and Erza could speak, Gray was the first to disagree. He absolutely did not want to team up with Natsu.
"I... I also... Ugh..."
Natsu was carsick and didn't want to team up with Gray.
Erza was somewhat moved. She was starting to enjoy working happily with her companions.
Takeshi also quite liked this feeling, but it wasn't the right time yet. Given the danger level of his quests, the current strength of these few people was still a bit weak. Taking them on quests would likely endanger them, and he genuinely wasn't too keen on taking on quests below S-Class.
Happy saw through Lucy's intention at a glance and quipped, "You want to leech off Takeshi's S-Class Quest rewards, don't you?"
Lucy's eyes darted around, feeling guilty, and said, "Where? I'm not that kind of person."
Gray said, "Speaking of which, you're not on this mission, are you, Lucy?"
"This... isn't it because I'm worried about everyone? Besides, Natsu and I are teammates, so since Natsu came, I naturally have to come along to help."
Happy once again ruthlessly exposed Lucy, "You just want to use this opportunity to raise your standing in the guild, don't you?"
Lucy bared her teeth at Happy. "Weren't you also not on the list but came along anyway?"
"I'm Natsu's partner. Besides, I'm a cat."
"You're a thieving cat, a treacherous cat."
"You're a timid Lucy, a drooling Lucy, a big-butt Lucy."
"I'll fight you!"
Lucy's defenses broke, and she pinched Happy's face.
While Lucy and Happy were playfully bickering, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The coachman said, "Guests, we have arrived at our destination."
"We're here?"
The group got out of the carriage one after another. Before them was a villa with a very unique design, filled with heart shapes everywhere.
"This design really lacks taste."
"This is Bob, the Blue Pegasus Guild Master's villa."
The group pushed open the door and entered the villa.
Click!
A spotlight shone on the front, where three people stood under it.
"To the members of Fairy Tail, we've been waiting for a long time. We are the Trimens, chosen by Blue Pegasus."
"Hibiki Lates!"
"Eve Tearm!"
"Ren Akatsuki!"
Three handsome men, dressed like nightclub hosts, stood under the spotlight striking poses: a sunny boy, a blond shota, and a dark-skinned handsome man.
Takeshi recognized the Blue Pegasus trio when he saw them.
The three immediately enthusiastically approached Erza.
"Indeed, as beautiful as the legends say."
"Nice to meet you, Fairy Queen."
"Come. Please follow me."
The three led Erza to the sofa.
Hibiki offered a towel. "You've had a long journey, please use this hot towel."
Ren invited Lucy over. "Come, you sit here too. By the way, you're just too cute."
"W-wow..."
Lucy was a bit overwhelmed by the treatment.
"What's going on with those guys?" Gray was a bit confused by them.
Takeshi said with a chuckle, "It's nothing. Blue Pegasus is always like this."
Erza said seriously to Eve, "Please take care of me this time. Let's all work together."
Eve excitedly said, "So cute! That expression is perfect, I... I've always admired you."
Erza was momentarily stunned. What was happening? Wasn't this a joint operation?
Ren pushed a drink towards Lucy. "This... this wasn't made especially for you, you know."
"A tsundere type." Lucy was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a sickly sweet voice rang out.
"You guys, that's enough."
"Ichiya-sama."
"Long time no see, Erza."
Hearing this voice, Erza's body trembled. "Ichiya... you're participating too..."
Ichiya walked down the stairs and said to Erza, "I've missed you so much, my honey. I am Ichiya, at your service only."
"My honey?!"
Lucy and Happy were instantly dumbfounded.
Takeshi carefully scrutinized Ichiya. He was indeed much like in the anime: short, ugly, and a loser. However, his impression of Ichiya was among the best. Despite Ichiya being very unreliable, he showed himself to be very manly in the late stage.
"After all, it's a joint operation. As the guild's strongest combatants, I must also participate. Hurry up and get ready. We're not here to play."
"Yes, big brother!"
The three immediately moved everything away.
Ichiya sniffed, striking various poses. "What a fragrant scent."
"How disgusting..."
Lucy had a physiological inability to accept him.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this guy either." Erza also couldn't stand this guy.
Gray couldn't watch anymore and said to the four Blue Pegasus members, "You pretty boys from Blue Pegasus, can you stop being rude to our princess?"
"Ah, the men can go back now."
"You've worked hard."
"Tch, I really don't know what Blue Pegasus wants by sending out these perverts."
"Want to try it out?"
"We're very strong, you know."
Ren and Eve couldn't help but provoke Gray when they heard his words.
Natsu, hearing there was a fight, immediately perked up.
"A fight!! Let me join!" He said, about to rush out.
Before he could move, Takeshi held him down. "Alright. Stop fooling around. Blue Pegasus, I'll treat what happened before as a joke. If you're not obedient again, then I won't be polite."
"It's you!"
