Seeing the hideous shadow in front of her and hearing his hoarse voice, Mirajane trembled, and her whole body was tense.

Erza and Ultear's bodies also tensed and prepared to attack.

On the other hand, Joel's expression remained indifferent.

"Are you a demon created by Zeref?!"

Joel stared at the demon and asked slowly.

At the same time, lightning appeared on his hands.

Obviously, if the demon didn't answer, he would attack him with lightning in his hand!

Seeing Joel, he was not afraid of him, but he also dared to question him arrogantly. The demon wanted to attack him, but when the golden lightning appeared in Joel's hand, the demon's entire body tensed.

Because his intuition and all his senses told him that as long as he was exposed to this lightning, even if he did not die, he would be severely damaged!

Ultear, who stood aside upon hearing Zeref's name, looked at the demon curiously because if Zeref was alive then everything Hades had done so far was just a joke.

"Yes, I was created by master Zeref not long ago.."

Finally the demon answered.

"So where is Zeref now..?"

The lightning on Joel's hand intensified and he continued to ask.

"Master Zeref...I don't know, but even though I can't detect his aura, he should still be in this area."

After hesitating for a moment, the demon slowly spoke.

"So Zeref is near here??"

Joel said silently in his heart.

Mirajane on the other hand was confused.

She, who has never been exposed to any magic or some history in the magic world, has no idea what the name Zeref means.

But she soon came to her senses and remembered why she had come here.

"Demon, get out of this village for me!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for my impudence!"

Mirajane stared at the demon with an unpleasant expression.

After hearing Mirajane's words, the demon was stunned and looked at the only human girl in front of him who had no magic, but he did not dare to attack her because of the thunder in Joel's hand, so he said: "I also want to leave here, but I cannot leave the church."

"If I want to leave here, I will either be destroyed, or... someone can seize my power and make me disappear from this world forever!"

The demon didn't want to say the last way, but because of Joel, he forced to say, because for any demon created by Zeref, they only have one goal, which is to kill Zeref, now instead of being destroyed by Joel. He wanted someone to take over his power and kill Zeref with his power, this way. At least the purpose of his birth was achieved, though there was little hope that the person who took her power would be able to kill Zeref.

"Receiving magic (Take Over)? But none of us here learned that magic."

Ultear was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly.

"No, that white-haired girl has the ability to receive my power!"

The demon pointed at Mirajane and said.

Mirajane was suddenly startled when she heard the demon's words.

"Impossible! I don't want to receive the power of demons!"

"I don't want this power!"

"I don't want to be like the demon!"

But Mirajane quickly came back to her senses and said firmly.

Joel looked at the stubborn Mirajane in front of him and said to her gently: "Although it is the power of demon, the power is neither good nor evil. The user's heart is good, so this power is good, and vice versa."

"And only through strength can you protect what is dear to you with this strength."

"Of course, it is up to you to decide, and I will not interfere with your thoughts."
