Just like Wendy, the other Fairies are smiling even though they were pinned to the ground by the strong pressure. There's only one person they knew who can generate this gravity pressure.
"He's here." Lisanna happily said.
"Took him long enough." Natsu added.
Elsewhere, a naked Erza who was chained to the wall also smiled while looking at a female demon who was laying in front of her.
"It's over." Erza said with a smile despite feeling a lot of pain because of the female Etherious's curse.
"What are you talking about? What's happening?" The female demon asked with some difficulty.
"He's come, your worst nightmare. I've told you already that you angered something beyond your comprehension. Just by feeling his magic, I can feel the rage in his heart. I've never seen him this angry before. You guys just had to hurt someone he really cares for." Erza said.
BANG BANG BANG*
Suddenly, they hear a loud crash that continued getting louder. Then lightning struck the cube.
"And it's apparent that this attracted his attention as well." Erza added. "You guys have no idea who you're dealing with."
It was as if something was breaking the cube's walls and floors from the top and it kept coming down. The crashing sound stopped after a while and now a big, gaping hole appeared above Wendy's group.
"I knew you would come, big bro...ther...Ben?" Wendy asked confused because the man who stood in front of her looked familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
"Are you alright?" Ben asked as he released the pressure on Wendy and the cat's bodies.
"Y-yes." Wendy answered.
The voice made Wendy sure that it was really her big brother. Although she and the cats are still confused because Ben looked a lot different. Even his sisters who lived with him for years can no longer recognize him.
The reason they can't recognize him now is because his body is extremely thin. His muscular body was nowhere to be seen and he looked like a stick man now. He was so thin that his ribs were visible through his skin and his face was completely unrecognizable.
The only thing that grew was his blonde hair that became longer than his body. In his current state, his body looked like it would break from even a weak hit. That turned out to be impossible because he broke through the floors and walls above.
"Where's Mira?" Ben asked.
He is extremely worried about Mira, but he still asked if his sisters were fine when he entered the cube. They are all his family and he loves them all, so he was worried about every single one of them.
"We still can't find her. The Etherious we met didn't tell us anything. He told us that he would tell us if we defeat him." Wendy said, pointing at the green, spiky 4-armed Etherious.
Ben looks at him and then placed a foot on the demon's head. The demon didn't feel anything because Ben's body was really light.
"Where's Mira? Ah, Erza too." Ben asked.
"Who are you?" The Etherious asked as he tried to get up, but can't.
"I'm the one asking the questions here. Where are Mira and Erza?" The now skinny Ben questioned as he increased the gravity's pressure on the demon.
The Etherious remained silent and was unwilling to answer. But he suddenly screamed in agony when his left leg was burned by fire. Ben used the red solar energy produced by his Sun Devil Slayer Magic to burn the leg and it felt very painful for a demon.
The Etherious continued to scream, but still didn't say anything. Ben then burned the demon's right leg, then the 1st left arm, 2nd left arm, 1st right and 2nd right arm. The Etherious still didn't say anything and just kept screaming.
"Your loyalty is praiseworthy, but it will lead to your death." Ben said.
The Etherious can still grin though and he said, "Then give it to me. Ezel isn't afraid of death."
"As you wish." Ben replied as he burned the demon's remaining body parts.
Ben then walked away, followed by Wendy, the Exceeds and Kenshin. He walked forward while trying to find Mira's magic power. Something must've masked it because Ben normally could feel even from far away.
"We're splitting up for now." Kenshin informed the others. "I'll look for Erza."
He turned into a stream of water and headed done the corridor.
"Wendy, you go to where Natsu and Lisanna are." Ben said.
"Lisanna? She's here?" Carla asked.
"You guys didn't go together? Something must've happened then. Go and ask her, then inform me through your communication lacrima." Ben instructed.
"But where are they?" Happy asked.
Ben approached the wall on his left and punched it lightly with his right fist which was covered in a dark purple aura. It's a light punch, but the effect wasn't light as this wall and the ones behind it were broken instantly. A wide and long path was created by the punch.
"Just go straight. Some walls are still in the way, so you need to break them. There's also someone really strong there, so be careful." Ben said before removing the gravity on the cube and walking away.
Wendy and the Exceeds nod before they follow the path Ben made. Bella wanted to follow him, but she was hesitant because she might disturb Ben.
"Aren't you coming, Bella?" Ben asked as he continued walking.
Bella happily smiled and flew towards Ben, then sat on his head.
"Bella miss Ben." She said, rubbing her cheeks against Ben's hair.
"Yeah, me too. Now let's save Mira so we can play with the kids later." Ben replied.
Bella nodded and the two kept walking forward. By walking forward, it literally meant walking forward. The corridor is turning, but Ben kept breaking the walls that blocked his path and walked forward.
Some weak Etherious were also blocking his path. He effortlessly killed them all with his Sun Devil Slayer Magic. None of the demons stood a chance against him, especially when he was this angry.
It wasn't visible on his face, but he was enraged right now. He just killed every Etherious he came across as he walked forward. Then soon, he reached Erza's location and saw her naked, but he didn't react. Kenshin was confronting the demon that chained her to the wall.
Ben just looked at her as she came into view while Bella took out her magic gun. Bella then fired some magic bullets at the chains that held Erza and released her. Bella then flew over to Erza and took a dress out of her storage bag.
"It's okay, Bella. You can keep it." Erza said, intending to use Requip.
Bella was disappointed and she looked as if she was about to cry while holding the one piece pink dress. Erza realized this and immediately canceled her plan to requip.
"It seems I can't use my magic yet, so I will wear that." Erza said out of guilt.
Bella smiled brightly and gave the one piece pink dress to Erza. The pink dress was really cute and she felt that it didn't suit her. But she wore it nonetheless because she didn't want to make Bella cry over it. Bella was very happy when Erza wore the dress she gave her and she returned to Ben's head with a wide smile.
Ben then asked Erza a question. "Where's Mira?"
Erza was surprised by his question. "So it's really you. I thought you were someone else. Cough, sorry for getting out of context. I have no idea where Mira is because I was already here when I woke up. She might know where Mira is." Erza said as she pointed at the female Etherious that dodged a swipe from Kenshin's staff.
Ben then looked at the demon with a intimidating expression and asked, "Where's Mira?"
The female Etherious was wary of Ben right now because she can feel his immense magic power. Furthermore, she felt his Devil Slayer Magic which made her instincts scream. She never felt this kind of pressure before, even from a human.
She's not a idiot like the dead Ezel, so she knew she didn't have a chance against Ben. She was as loyal as Ezel though, so she didn't want to tell Ben anything. She will need to use everything she had to fight Ben, so she prepared herself.
But before anything can happen, Ben suddenly looked to his right and said, "There she is."
"You two can take care of her, right?" He asked.
"Yeah, go save Mira." Erza said.
Ben nodded and changed into a streak of light that broke through the walls with Bella in his arms.
Kenshin and Erza then looked at the demon and held a katana and staff. "You'd rather deal with us instead of him right now. Erza, let's show her what happens to someone that decides to take members of Fairy Tail prisoner."
"Let's." Erza agreed.
