While Alan was rushing toward Gildarts and the Water Dragon God to join the battle, certain events were also unfolding in Ishgar.
Led by Gildarts and Ul, the S-Class Mages of Fairy Tail were continuing their search for Yahak, a high priest of the Dark Magic Cult. Yajirama sent another message reporting that the residents of a village not far from Carlos City had mysteriously vanished.
