After confirming the plan to deal with Tartaros, Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy once again returned to the magic airship.
"Kenichi-nii, are we really going to attack Tartaros?"
Wendy asked Kenichi with some concern.
"What's wrong?"
Kenichi turned to face Wendy.
"I'm just a bit worried. Also, we don't even know where Tartaros is!"
Hearing Wendy, before Kenichi could speak, Erza turned her gaze towards Seilah, who was still reading over there: "We have a demon from Tartaros right here. She must know where it is."
Erza's words were clearly meant for Seilah to hear.
Seilah naturally heard them very clearly.
She lifted her gaze from the book to Erza and said slowly: "Tartaros is in a place you will never find."
'A place you will never find?'
Kenichi looked at Seilah, his eyebrow twitching.
'Isn't it just flying in the sky?'
From what Kenichi knew, Tartaros was also known as the Books of Zeref.
It wasn't a fixed location.
But rather a mobile fortress, similar to a magic airship, that could fly through the sky.
Perhaps it was very difficult for ordinary people to find Tartaros, but Kenichi was no ordinary person.
After glancing at Seilah, Kenichi turned and walked towards the airship's deck.
When he reached the edge of the deck, he activated a magic.
"What is Kenichi-nii doing?"
Wendy looked at Kenichi and asked Erza beside her in confusion.
Erza also shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Then, under the puzzled gazes of Erza, Wendy, Mirajane, and Seilah, a huge black shadow moved at high speed from the clouds above, approaching them rapidly.
"That is... a dragon?!"
Seeing the huge black shadow, Wendy, being a Dragon Slayer mage, was the first to speak.
A few seconds later, as the huge black shadow drew closer, its true form finally appeared in their field of vision.
That's right, it was a dragon.
A steel dragon with a silver-white body, its entire form like iron.
During the Grand Magic Games, although Kenichi killed almost all the dragons that emerged from the Eclipse Gate, there was one dragon he didn't kill but instead controlled using the Dragon Control Magic attribute.
And this controlled dragon was the very steel dragon before them.
"A dragon?"
"Why is there still a dragon alive?"
Looking at the steel dragon flying towards them, Seilah could no longer remain seated.
She put down the book in her hands, stood up, her expression constantly shifting.
Although she was a demon of Tartaros and looked down on human mages, she was quite concerned about the dragons that had disappeared centuries ago.
After all, each dragon possessed exceptionally terrifying strength.
Just as Seilah was pondering why a dragon still existed, the steel dragon flew in front of the magic airship and stabilized itself.
Then, under Seilah's disbelieving gaze, Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy all leaped onto the back of the steel dragon.
At that moment, Seilah, who had always been very calm, felt considerable waves of shock in her heart.
'Why?'
'Why can this person summon a dragon?'
'Why does this dragon obey this person?'
'Just what kind of beings are these people?'
All along, in Seilah's eyes, humans were insignificant beings.
But today, she saw many things from Kenichi, Erza, and the others that exceeded her understanding.
Looking at Kenichi, Erza, and the others standing on the dragon's back, Seilah felt worry for the first time.
She worried that Tartaros might truly be destroyed by these people before her.
One must know that she had never worried about Tartaros before.
After all, Tartaros had the Nine Demon Gates and the Underworld King.
Just the Nine Demon Gates alone meant human mages would be killed before they could even get close to Tartaros.
But now, looking at Kenichi and the others, she began to wonder if the Nine Demon Gates and Mard Geer could actually stop these human mages.
She very much wanted to return to Tartaros to warn Kyoka and the others, but currently, she was under Kenichi's control. Without Kenichi's permission, she couldn't leave this magic airship.
"Come here."
While Seilah was watching them, Kenichi called out to her.
With Kenichi's command, Seilah obediently walked over and finally leaped onto the broad back of the steel dragon.
After Seilah was also on board, Kenichi manipulated the steel dragon to fly directly upwards into the sky.
A dragon's flight speed was countless times faster than a magic airship.
In just an instant, Kenichi and the others were already several kilometers away.
Relying on this terrifying flight speed, plus the dragon's keen sense of smell, finding the location of Tartaros... wouldn't be difficult.
"Kenichi-nii, where are we going?"
Flying through the cloud layers, Wendy asked Kenichi.
"To Tartaros."
"You know where Tartaros is?"
"We'll know soon."
This seemingly casual conversation between Kenichi and Wendy, when it fell on Seilah's ears, caused her face to change.
In Seilah's view, the fact that Tartaros was in the sky was probably known to no human except Zeref.
But now, Kenichi was searching for Tartaros in the sky right from the start.
That undoubtedly meant Kenichi knew Tartaros was in the sky.
At this moment, in Seilah's eyes, Kenichi seemed like a terrifying monster, inspiring awe and fear.
'Just who... is this person?!'
After who knows how long, Kenichi, Erza, and the others, standing on the dragon's back flying at high speed, noticed a cube-shaped island suspended beneath the clouds ahead.
When Kenichi saw this cube-shaped island, his expression shifted.
"Found it. Tartaros!"
