Tap tap tap...

Late at night in Magnolia, a cherry-haired boy wearing a white scarf ran wildly on the street, his cool flip-flops making noisy footsteps on the ground. Next to him, followed by a flying blue cat.

“There’s nothing here… there’s nothing here… there’s no… there’s no Lucy smell anywhere!

!”

After an unknown amount of time, Natsu, who had searched to no avail, sat on a long stone bench by the roadside, lowering his head in thought. The weak incandescent light shone on him, flickering on and off.

The inexplicable uneasiness rising in his heart stirred up his nerves all the time, but Natsu relied on his strong heart to suppress it, and managed to analyze it with Habi with his not-so-sufficient IQ.

"Happy, where do you think Lucy will go?"

"I have no clue either!" Habi raised his little paw and scratched his head and asked, "Compared to that, Natsu, have you noticed that the street is much quieter than usual, and there are no stray cats or dogs.

No drunk old men or young girls."

"Indeed, in the past, no matter how late it was, there would always be some movement, but now it's like we are the only ones left in Magnolia."

Having said this, Natsu and Habi couldn't help but look around. At this moment, they suddenly discovered that the weird magic book was quietly placed beside them!

"This is?!"

"That magic book?! It appears again?!"

"It obviously wasn't there just now!"

Habi shouted and ran anxiously: "It's over! Natsu, we must be entangled by the ghosts living in the book! [The souls that cannot die completely will be placed here.

], it must be referring to this book... No! Maybe it refers to the curse mark on our foreheads!"

This conjecture was well founded, and Natsu felt cold sweat break out on his forehead (((;???;)))): "Habi...don't...don't...don't panic! There must be a way!"

Because of fear, Habi threw himself into Natsu's arms and hugged him tightly. He raised his head and asked, "What can I do?"

"That's right! Let's burn him!"

Natsu couldn't think of a way, but he acted according to his intuition and solved the problem with flames.

boom!

There was an explosion, and the high-temperature red flames swallowed up the magic book, and the old magic book was instantly burned to ashes.

Natsu wiped his sweat and said, "It should be okay now, right?"

"N...Natsu..."

Habi's trembling voice shocked Natsu. He looked up and saw that under the night, the ashes that should have disappeared with the wind had regrouped, relying on the dark magic power in them to slowly form a three-meter-high and one-meter-wide sphere.

Oval black swirl.

Immediately afterwards, countless white spirits poured out crazily and floated away in all directions in Magnolia.

"Midnight, inhuman monster..."

"The soul that cannot die completely..."

One person and one cat turned to look at each other stiffly, and found that the other person was trembling all over at this time, completely losing his usual composure: "Haha... It's just a ghost... Haha... There's nothing to be afraid of... Haha..."

"It's just...I'm not afraid..."

The next moment...

"Run!

!”

The two turned around and ran away, so fast that smoke and dust filled the sky. After tumbling in the wind, they fell onto their clothes soaked in cold sweat.

"Wait...Did Lucy just get captured by them?!"

Thinking of this, Natsu was no longer afraid, and the frightened look on his face was quickly replaced by seriousness. He turned around and charged towards the black vortex in a flash: "Hand over Lucy!"

Physical attacks like fists were obviously unable to attack the spirit body, so Natsu jumped away and fell to the ground.

"Damn it! I can't hit them!"

Habi followed and flew over: "Of course it is, after all, the other party is a ghost!"

"In this case..."

Natsu clenched his fists unwillingly, and two seconds later, he decisively picked up Habi and turned around and ran away!

"Then let's retreat first!"

Habi Σ(っ°Д°;)っ: “Eh eh eh eh???!

!

"

…

"They didn't catch up, did they?"

"Natsu, why are you running away?"

"Of course it's because they can't be hit! Moreover, judging from the situation just now, they have no ability to attack people, so Lucy's disappearance may not be related to them. If Lucy disappeared because of them,

It means that similar things have already happened during the time when we were unconscious! And everyone in the guild will definitely notice such a movement. With them here, nothing will happen..."

Happy rolled his tongue and said: "Natsu became so smart today, it's incredible! Could it be said that this curse will increase IQ?"

despair!

As Natsu was walking forward, he felt that he had stepped on something. When he looked down, he saw that the magic book he had burned before was lying on the ground unscathed.

“Ahhhh!

!It appears again!

!”

"Supernatural events!

!This is definitely a supernatural event like an urban legend!

!”

In desperation, Natsu stooped down, picked up the magic book on the ground, and threw it far away!

Fight the winter!

The magic book fell into the river that ran through Magnolia, and there was a soft sound and a little splash of water.

In the blink of an eye, the paper was soaked by the river water, and the strange words on it quickly fell off, suspended in the air with the help of dark magic, and after a brief change and reorganization, turned into another magic circle.

"not good!"

Amid the exclamations, the words "The second stage of terror will begin after soaking" appeared in the minds of Natsu and Habi at the same time.

"Second stage of terror!

"

"It seems to be more troublesome now!

"

The strange dark green runes and evil dark magic, echoing the "water" that caused the change, condensed into a ball of magic light. At the same time, the curse runes engraved on the foreheads of Natsu and Habi flew out on their own.

, and shot into the ball of light. The ball of light split into two, landed on the ground, and turned into two pitch-black figures with the same outline as Natsu and Habi.

"What is this? It looks like us!"

"Could it be that this magic is to copy a cursed person and let us beat ourselves?"

Seeing that Happy was getting more and more uneasy, Natsu immediately lowered his head and comforted him: "It's okay, Happy!"

"Natsu..."

"Whether it's a curse or an undead, as long as we're together, there's no opponent we can't beat! We're the magicians of Fairy Tail!

!”

The encouragement from his partner in the difficult situation finally cheered up Habi who had been troubled by the magic book all day.

"Hey!"

Along with a long roar, Habi grabbed Natsu and flew towards the black shadow. The black shadow Habi and the black shadow Natsu rushed over. It was like fists reflected in the mirror colliding in the air, causing a violent, red reaction.

Black and two-color blazing flames.

On the ground, the two Natsu were fighting each other, punching, kicking, elbowing, headbutting, and hooking their claws one after another; in the air, the two Harpies also used their own unique moves, including cat claw attacks, backpack attacks, biting, and collisions.

There were endless incidents, and the scene was chaotic.

Pengpengpeng...pah pah pah...puff puff...

"The fighting methods are exactly the same..."

The opponent's difficulty and the dark magic shrouding the streets made Natsu anxious. What worried him even more was that the continuous sound of fighting did not wake anyone up!

In this case, either this space is blocked, or something happened to everyone!
