Zeros's advice to the three men was not because they had stolen his 'prey,' but because he genuinely meant well.

Just as the three had a good first impression of him, he also had a good impression of them. Of course, this good impression was probably largely due to Lisanna, a simple girl with a sweet smile...

Zeros naturally had no doubt about Mirajane's strength, given that she became an S-class mage at the age of sixteen. However, the Beast King was not an easy opponent, and Mirajane's time as an S-class mage was still too short. Whether she could be a match for the Beast King remained highly uncertain.

Moreover, Mirajane is carrying two 'burdens' with her this time.

The word "burden" might sound harsh, but based on Zeros's probing of the magical fluctuations within the two, In a fight against the Beast King, who was also an S-rank, it was no exaggeration to call them a burden.

After all, in some battles, having more people isn't always better.

It could be just a small accident that could lead to a lifetime of regret!

...

On the other side, as Zeros uttered the heavy words "people will die," Mirajane abruptly turned around, meeting Zeros's gaze across the distance, and said coldly, "I said, this is our own business, it's none of your concern!"

However, perhaps realizing that Zeros was also worried about their safety, her voice softened slightly, "Besides—"

"My strength is beyond your comprehension!"

As she said those words, Mirajane's pretty face once again showed that proud look, which naturally stemmed from her confidence in her own strength.

But to Zeros, this confidence was hard to discern—was it confidence or arrogance...?

After Mirajane finished speaking, she turned and continued walking into the deepest part of the mountain range. Lisanna and Elfman followed behind her steadfastly. Even though they were about to face the most powerful 'Beast King' in the mountains, neither of them showed any fear. They completely trusted their older sister who had been with them since childhood.

Watching the three figures disappear into the depths of the mountains, Zeros withdrew his gaze and murmured, "I hope your strength is truly as you say, otherwise..."

Arrogance comes at a price!

After saying that, Zeros left. He had already given a warning once, and if someone didn't listen to advice, it was no longer his problem.

......

Half a day later.

The deepest part of the Beast King Mountains.

A deafening roar resounded from the deepest part of the mountains.

For a long time, neither human mages nor other monsters in the Beast King Mountains have ever set foot in the deepest part of the mountain range.

This is where the most powerful being in the entire mountain range, the 'Beast King,' resides. His unparalleled strength makes him the unique ruler of this place.

However, today, someone actually appeared here and even attacked this king.

roar!!

Another earth-shattering roar rang out, accompanied by a low, delicate shout.

"Take Over—the soul of Satan!"

A surge of black light appeared, and Mirajane's beautiful figure suddenly transformed into the demonic form of Satan.

With her white hair flying wildly and her figure graceful, a pair of black wings like bat wings spread out behind her. Powerful and violent magic emanated from her body, making her appear even wilder and more violent than the original Mirajane.

This is the 'Take Over' magic used to receive the soul of Satan from the demon Mirajane.

Feeling the explosive power within her, the demon Mirajane's confidence and arrogance became even more pronounced. The words Zeros had said earlier echoed in her mind, and she chuckled softly, muttering to herself, "Soon you will know that my strength is beyond your imagination!"

After speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the enormous figure that resembled a small mountain. Sensing the powerful magical energy emanating from it, she remained fearless, and a burning fighting spirit surged in her eyes. She transformed into a streak of black light and charged towards the behemoth.

This colossal creature was none other than the 'Beast King,' the most powerful being within the Beast King Mountain Range.

Its eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light, and because of its enormous size, every step it took caused the earth to tremble. Compared to it, Mirajane's demonic form was as insignificant as an ant.

Of course, this is only in terms of size. In terms of magic power, the magic power fluctuations emitted by Mirajane's demon form are not much weaker than that.

"Dark Torrent!"

Soon, the demon Mirajane arrived in front of the Beast King, leaped into the air like lightning, appeared high in the sky, looked straight at the Beast King, let out a low shout, and dark energy surged from her hands, transforming into whip-like claws that flew towards the Beast King.

The Beast King also unleashed a massive surge of magical power, and with a mere swing of its enormous arms, it shattered all the black whip claws one by one.

However, Mirajane's face remained completely unmoved by this; instead, even more violent magical power surged forth from her body.

With black wings like bat wings flapping behind her, the demon Mirajane suddenly increased her speed, her whole body enveloped in a huge ball of black energy, and she slammed directly into the Beast King's body.

bump!!

A deafening roar resounded through the heavens and earth, and an astonishing shockwave spread outwards, instantly raising billowing dust.

The great battle between the demon Mirajane and the Beast King has officially begun!
