Hmm... Elfman was drawn so witless at the end of the previous chapter that I thought he would instantly start to trash things around him, but it seems like he merely looked like shit, nothing more, and the mission in fact was infiltration for larger damage. I blame the drawing style for fooling me.

Was that even the real Jellal? His fighting was so lousy, without any of his trademark moves, aside from speed perhaps, that it's hard not to think it wasn't just a clone or something else he used for a crafty plot. No way the real deal would go down so easily, like some common rabble. Maybe his intention was to fake his own death and thus make the demons careless.
