The job Ben took was located in a forest to the southwest. It was close to the location of Grimoire Heart's base. The dark guild didn't have a fixed base location because their base was the airship that they used to get to Tenrou Island.
Fortunately, Ben can track it with the tool he obtained from Zancrow. The tool showed that the airship was located far to the southwest. It hadn't changed for months so Ben assumed they hadn't moved since they left Tenrou Island.
Ben knew why they didn't change their location. They needed to repair their airship because Ben destroyed a majority of it. Most of their members also died on Tenrou Island so they couldn't repair it fast enough.
"It was even a miracle they could leave Tenrou Island and reach their current location with that broken airship. Well, that's not my problem. I will wipe Grimoire Heart out completely." Ben said with a deep, angry tone.
Ben drove quickly and only took a few short breaks along the way. He reached a beach after 2 days but the compass-like tool still points to the southwest. So Ben immediately transformed Light Runner into a boat and sailed out onto the sea.
After 5 hours, he finally reached a small island and can see the top part of Grimoire Heart's airship that isn't covered by trees. He grinned and moved fast to the island. He stored Light Runner in his spatial storage and walked to the airship.
Ben just walked confidently without hiding his presence. He even spread his magic power out a little to tell everyone that he is there. He didn't want to bother searching for them so he will make them come to him.
His plan worked because some dark mages were waiting for him by the airship. Most of them were lesser members of Grimoire Heart, not even worth mentioning. The only ones that piqued his interest were 4 guys in the back.
'Rustyrose and Kain, huh? That brown goat is Yomazu while the chicken is Kawazu. So they're the only ones that returned. Azuma and Zancrow are dead and Capricorn returned to the Celestial Spirit World after Zoldeo died. Ultear and Meredy shouldn't have died, but I have no idea where they are. They probably left the guild after being defeated. Hades and that Bluenote guy are also nowhere to be seen. Eh, I'm still destroying Grimoire Heart nonetheless.' Ben thought.
"You're the one from Fairy Tail. What are you doing here?" Rustyrose asked.
"Why don't you guess? I'm sure you know." Ben replied with a smirk.
"How did you find our location?" Rustyrose demanded.
"You don't need to know how. Just know that today is your last day alive." Ben said.
"Tsk, arrogant guy. Attack him!" Rustyrose ordered.
The lesser members immediately cast their spells to attack Ben. He just unsheathed his sword and used his Sun Dragon Slayer Magic on it, making it glow bright gold. When the mages fire their spells, Ben swung his sword horizontally.
A bright gold arc of energy was generated by Ben's sword and moved towards the mages. The spells that were hit by Ben's attack were destroyed instantly. Other spells that weren't hit move towards Ben and strike him.
Ben's sharp golden energy attack hit the lesser mages and cut their bodies like butter. None of them can withstand the sharp golden energy attack. It was so strong and sharp that none of their defenses can stop it.
In an instant, Ben killed all of Grimoire Heart's lesser members, leaving only Rustyrose, Kain, Kawazu and Yomazu. The 4 were surprised by what just happened because they were almost hit. If they weren't in the back, they wouldn't have had time to evade that attack.
They look at the direction Ben was standing and saw that he looked fine. He created a solar energy barrier at the last moment to protect himself from the spells. The ground around him had been destroyed but Ben didn't have any scratches on his body.
"H-he's fine, what should we do?" Kain asked nervously.
"What else? We need to attack and kill him. There's no other choice." Rustyrose said while extending his hands forward.
Rustyrose gathered his magic power and chanted, "Tower of Dingir!"
A giant tower came out of the ground where Ben was standing and lifted him into the air. The tower pulled him up and immobilized him. However, the restraint is too weak to stop him. It just made him feel a little heavy.
"Such a useless struggle." Ben said as he covered his right hand in solar energy.
"Sun Dragon Solar Fist!" Ben chanted as he punched the tower.
*BAM*
Ben's punch engulfed the tower. It destroyed the tower completely. Rustyrose and co watch this in disbelief because they all know how strong the Tower of Dingir is.
"Shit! Ghost of-" Rustyrose couldn't finish his chant because Ben suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed his face.
*BAM*
Ben slammed Rustyrose's head into the ground really hard and left a crater behind. The other 3 couldn't react as Ben continued his attack. He grabbed Yomazu and Kawazu's hair and pulled them forward as he extends his knees to hit them in the face.
Blood spurted out of their faces as their hair was ripped off after Ben pulled them forward. Kain tried to attack Ben with his magic but he suddenly grabbed Yomazu and Kawazu's feet. He threw them towards Kain and the 3 crash into the airship behind Kain.
Yomazu and Kawazu were knocked unconscious but Kain was still awake. He looked at Ben, but he had disappeared. Suddenly a shadow covered his body so he looked up. His eyes widened because Ben had jumped on top of him with a foot covered in solar energy.
Ben stomped on Kain's chest after he jumped down. His stomp created another crater, showing how powerful it was. Kain coughed up some blood and the stomp broke some of his ribs.
In a short amount of time, Ben defeated all of Grimoire Heart's remaining members. He looked at Rustyrose who was barely conscious after having his head slammed into the ground. He approached Rustyrose and grabbed him by the neck before lifting him up.
"I will only ask you this once? Where's the rest of Grimoire Heart? Especially Hades and Bluenote." Ben said.
"*Cough cough* Who knows." Rustyrose replied with a smirk.
Ben's expression didn't change but Rustyrose suddenly screamed in agony. His body temperature had been increased by Ben's magic, making Rustyrose feel like his body was on fire. Ben will keep it up until Rustyrose answered his question.
"Just to let you know, this temperature won't kill you right away. A mage of your caliber can withstand it for a half hour. Also, there are 3 others I can ask." Ben informed him.
Rustyrose remained silent but after 10 minutes, he couldn't take it anymore and gave him a answer.
"Ma-master is dead, Bluenote di-disappeared, U-Ultear and Meredy defected. I-I don't know where they are now." Rustyrose said slowly with a hoarse voice as his throat was on fire.
"I don't remember killing Hades and Master Makarov didn't kill him either. What happened?" Ben asked.
"Ze-Zeref." Rustyrose said.
Ben was surprised before he laughed, "Ha ha ha, so he was killed by somebody that he worshiped. How ironic."
"Ki-kill me." Rustyrose begged.
Ben smirked at his desperation.
"Sure." He said.
He threw Rustyrose over to the other 3 unconscious dark mages and created a big orange magic circle underneath them.
"I will kill you, but the process won't be easy. Experience the hopelessness we felt when Acnologia attacked Tenrou Island because of you. Heat World!" Ben chanted.
An orange dome appeared on the magic circle and trapped the 4 inside it. The temperature inside the dome was really hot and will make them suffer. The 3 unconscious mages wake up and begin screaming in agony. They try to get out but fail as the outside layer is a barrier.
Ben then entered the airship.
"This is what happens when you mess with me." He said.
