Chapter 300: Forming a Grudge

Earth land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tenrou Island.

 

December 15, x784.

 

While Alfonzo was confronting Hades on the shore of Tenrou Island, the rest of the members of Grimoire Heart scattered throughout the island to take down as many members of Fairy Tail as possible.

 

Meanwhile, the S-Class wizards from Fairy Tail were busy trying to gather all the S-Class candidates at the camp to make protecting them easier.

 

The exception to that plan of action being Elicia, who was waiting near Zeref's location to see if someone would try to make contact with him.

 

"In the series, Ultear wanted to take Zeref with her so that she could use him to… Now that I think about it, I don't' know…" Elicia muttered as she spread both her [Magic Power Detection] and [Thread Detection] spells throughout her surroundings. "Maybe to turn back time so she could have the life she should have had with Ur? Maybe not. Either way, Grimoire Heart knows Zeref is on the island. So, someone is definitely going to come here to make contact."

 

While Elicia waited, several other battles were also taking place on the island. Zankrow had caught up to Natsu, Mirajane had intercepted someone who tried to attack Fried and Bickslow, Erza ran into a brown skinned man who could manipulate trees, and Levy and Gajeel ran into a squad of dark wizards led by a humanoid rooster and a humanoid goat. Also, Wendy, Carla, and Panther Lily were surrounded by a number of low ranking wizards from Grimoire Heart before they could reach the camp.

 

"Oh, it looks like I found someone." Elicia said with a smile as she shot her threads towards a tree and swung in the direction of the magic power signature that was approaching Zeref's location.

 

Less than a minute later, Elicia caught sight of a tall, beautiful, young woman with long, thick, bleached blonde hair tied into twin tails, large, light blue eyes, and a very pronounced hourglass figure with long legs wearing a sleeveless, two toned, body suit which was white on the left side and black on the right, a red skirt, a black stocking on her right leg and a white one on her left, and a black sleeve covering her right wrist to her upper arm and a similar white sleeve on her left. On top of that, she carried a teddy bear in her arms that had a white right side and a black left side.

 

"So, Fonzie was right." Elicia muttered as she watched the girl from a tree branch. The Ultimate Despair really is in this world. On top of that, she's headed directly towards Zeref. Well, I guess I'll go say hi and see just how far off the deep end she is."

 

With that, Elicia flung herself off the tree before landing a few yards (approx. 3 m) in front of the woman she identified as Junko Enoshima, the other traitor from the Magic Council.

 

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Elicia asked playfully. "If my memory serves me correctly, you're Junko Enoshima, right? But weren't you supposed to be dead? I heard you got crushed under some rubble when the Magic Council building was destroyed."

 

"Oh, to think someone remembers little old me." Junko said with a sweet smile. "But I really think they just didn't look hard enough to find me."

 

"That makes sense, I guess." Elicia replied. "If me or Fonzie had been there, we would have had no issue finding you."

 

"Fonzie? Are you talking about Alfonzo Marcus?" Junko asked in an excited tone, much like a valley girl. "Like, O.M.G. he makes some of the best stuff on the continent. His inventions give people hope for a better future and whatever."

 

Hearing that, Elicia could not help but puff up in pride.

 

"But that makes life so~~~~~ boring." Junko continued, this time her tone completely apathetic. Then, her tone changed once again as her expression became fierce. "So, he should die! This world doesn't deserve hope. It would look much better painted in despair! That would be so much more interesting!"

 

"That's right." The teddy bear in Junko's arms, Monokuma, added with a nod. "Just seeing the despair on people's faces is great."

 

"That's right!" Junko said, her expression changing to a cheerful one. "Like, how would the despair on you and your guild's faces look if we cut down that big tree?"

 

As Junko spoke, she pointed towards the giant tree in the center of the island with a huge smile on her face.

 

"The chances of you ever getting to find out are pretty low, honestly." Elicia replied, maintaining her same smile.

 

'Yeah, this broad is completely bonkers.' Elicia thought. 'Well, whatever, as long as I put her down fast enough, I won't have to listen to her for much longer.'

 

"We'll see about that." Junko replied with a sadistic smile on her face. "Once you and your little friends are out of the way, there will be no one to stop us. Oh, but don't worry, I won't be killing you. I want to see the despair on that Alfonzo Marcus' face when his beloved fiancée is dragged in front of him beaten and battered.'

 

"That's probably not a good idea, you know." Elicia said while tilting her head cutely. "Fonzie can be pretty scary when he gets mad."

 

"I kinda wanna see that." Junko said in that valley girl tone. "So, go get her, Monokuma! [Teddy Bear Magic: Big Bear Attack]."

 

"Really? [Teddy Bear magic]?" Elicia asked in a dumbfounded tone.

 

At the same time, Junko tossed Monokuma a few feet (approx. 1 m) in front of her, causing Elicia to jump back to make room for an evasion. A moment later, Monokuma grew in size. While his height reached 9'10" (approx. 3m) tall, its limbs became quite muscular.

 

"Okay, that's not what I was expecting." Elicia said while looking up at the massive teddy bear.

 

"Go get her, Monokuma." Junko shouted excitedly. "Just don't kill her, we've got a despairing face to see, after all."

 

"Got it." Monokuma replied in a much more ferocious voice.

 

With that, Monokuma rushed forward with much greater speed than his size would suggest and swung one of his large claws at Elicia.

 

*Bang!*

 

Before the claw reached her, however, Elicia shot her threads upwards and wrapped them around a tree branch before she pulled herself out of harm's way. A moment later, Monokuma's claw struck the tree Elicia used to evade, tearing out a huge chunk on impact.

 

"Well, I expected you to be strong." Elicia muttered as she looked at Monokuma in the eyes from her position on the tree branch. "But you're much faster than I expected, that's for sure."

 

"Thank you." Monokuma replied. "I do aim to please."

 

In the next moment, Monokuma opened his snout wide and lunged at Elicia, who backflipped off the branch. As a result, Monokuma bit threw the branch before spitting it in Elicia's direction.

 

In response, Elicia shot her threads at the incoming piece of wood, wrapped it up tight, landed on the ground, spun in place, and slammed the piece of the branch into Monokuma's head, knocking him into a nearby tree due to the force behind the blow.

 

*Bang!*

 

Before Monokuma could recover, however, he was wrapped up in threads that bound him to the tree.

 

"What the hell?" Monokuma asked while struggling to free himself. "Get these god damn threads off of me!"

 

"Nah, I'd rather take you out of the game." Elicia replied as she jerked her hands back. "[Thread Magic: Thread Dicer]."

 

*Bang!*

 

With Elicia's movement, all the threads wrapped around Monokuma and the tree constricted to the point they cut through both the teddy bear and the tree it was bound to. As a result, the top half of the tree fell to the ground. And it just so happened that Junko was standing where it would fall.

 

"That wasn't, like, very nice." Junko said as she watched the tree fall towards her. "Breaking other people's toys is, like, super bad manners. Good thing I can fix it, though. [Restore]."

 

As Junko chanted her spell, her left eye glowed red. Then, the tree that was falling towards her started moving back to its upright position, as if time were rewinding. A few seconds later, both Monokuma and the tree were back in perfect condition as if they had never been damaged.

 

"There, good as new.!" Junko said energetically in a sickeningly sweet tone. "But let's make it more fun. [Flash Forward]."

 

"So, on top of using that weird [Teddy Bear Magic] …" Elicia said as she ducked under a swipe from Monokuma's claw that seemed to happen only an instant after Junko chanted her spell. "But she can use [Arc of Time Magic], too."

 

"Oh, you even know what kind of magic I'm using." Junko replied in a genuinely surprised tone. "It's not every day you run into someone who can recognize a [Lost Magic] on sight."

 

"Well, I do have my moments." Elicia replied as she continued to dodge the nearly instantaneous attacks from Monokuma.

 

As it turns out, Junko's [Flash Forward] spell had the effect of compressing an inanimate object's time. Meaning, instead of Monokuma taking the time to rush forward, swing its arm, and strike its target, all that is compressed into one moment, making the spell especially dangerous.

 

"Why can't I hit you?" Monokuma roared in frustration. "How is it possible to dodge me?"

 

"Well, for one, you're not moving instantaneously." Elicia replied as she ducked under another claw swipe. Then, she flipped away from a downward thrust. And as she landed, she pulled the threads she wrapped around Monokuma's leg while she continued. "You're just shortening the time it takes to complete your actions. And I can still follow your movements, even if doing so makes my head hurt a little."

 

*Bang!*

 

As Elicia finished her words, Monokuma fell to the ground on his back. And in the next instant, Elicia pulled her hands back once again, this time wrapping up Junko in her threads.

 

"[Thread magic: Thread Entanglement]." Elicia chanted.

 

"Oh my!" Junko exclaimed in the tone of a gentle older sister. "Although I like seeing the despair on the faces of those who are tied up and captured, I'm not really into being tied up myself. [Flash Forward]."

 

With that, Junko cast her spell on Elicia's threads. As a result, all the threads binding her turned to dust, as she compressed their time to the point they decayed from aging.

 

"Well, that's annoying." Elicia muttered. "I guess I'll have to use these, huh?"

 

As she spoke, threads from Elicia's left hand slithered to the wristband full of needles on Elicia's right wrist. Before she could launch her attack, though, Elicia was forced to leap away from yet another claw swipe from Monokuma.

 

"Would you stop moving already?" Monokuma shouted in frustration.

 

"Nah, I'd rather not get smashed… Unless it's Fonzie doing the smashing." Elicia replied as she flung her left hand in Junko's direction.

 

"So, you think that tying sewing needles to the end of your threads will make a difference?" Junko replied disdainfully. "Even if it takes longer, metals decay with time, too."

 

As she spoke, Junko cast her [Flash Forward] spell on Elicia's threads and needles. And as expected, the threads decayed rather quickly. But the needles seemed to have been completely unaffected.

 

"What?" Junko exclaimed in surprise. "How is this possible?"

 

'Considering that part of my soul went into making these needles, it makes sense that [Arc of Time] wouldn't work on them.' Elicia thought as she frowned at the loss of control of her needles. 'But I'm not gonna tell her that.'

 

As she shouted in confusion, Elicia's needles flew towards Junko, who dodged hastily. As a result, several small and thin cuts were left on Junko's arms, legs, and cheek.

 

"This is gonna be a lot harder now that I can't control them to the end with my threads." Elicia said regretfully before catapulting herself away from another swipe from Monokuma.

 

A moment later, Elicia landed in front of Junko, who was just regaining her balance from her hasty dodge. Then, before she could completely reorient herself, Elicia pulled a few needles from her bracelet and stabbed them into Junko's pressure points, leaving her completely immobilized.

 

"I can't move!" Junko shouted angrily. "What did you do to me?"

 

"Acupuncture." Elicia replied. "But I gotta admit this was my first time doing it. Good thing I didn't miss. I might have killed you by mistake."

 

"Are you saying you used me as a fucking guinea pig?" Junko shouted hysterically.

 

"Yeah, pretty much." Elicia replied with a nod and a smile. "But it worked, so it's all good, right?"

 

"I'll fucking kill you!" Junko shouted angrily. "No, I'll capture you! Then, I'll capture that fiancé of yours and have him tortured in front of you! And I'll enjoy the expression of despair you show me."

 

Hearing Junko's threat, Elicia's smile dropped, and her face turned completely expressionless. A moment later, her killing intent exploded.

 

"You know, I usually try my best not to kill any dark wizards I come across." Elicia said in a dark tone. "But when you threaten my Fonzie, that changes things. Coincidentally, it makes any decisions I need to make about killing much simpler."

 

As she spoke, Elicia pulled another needle from her bracelet. Then, with a lifeless gaze, she stared into Junko's eyes as she pressed the tip of the needle against Junko's forehead.

 

"And the decision I came to is that…" Elicia said as she gripped the needle a little tighter. "You gotta go, bitch."

 

"Elicia, wait!" a voice Elicia was quite familiar with shouted, causing Elicia to stop with her eyes opened wide in surprise. "Don't kill her. If we turn her over to the Magic Council, we could get some pretty big rewards. She's a traitor on the same level as Jellal, after all."

 

With that, Alfonzo approached the duo from the surrounding trees.

 

"Fonzie, why are you here?" Elicia asked.

 

"Because I noticed you were fighting someone strong." Alfonzo replied. "I thought you might need my help."

 

By the time he finished speaking, Alfonzo was standing on Elicia's right and had placed his left hand on her shoulder.

 

"I'm sure the Magic Council would like to know what other information she leaked before she escaped, right?" Alfonzo asked as Elicia lowered her needle. "We'll make a killing from handing her over."

 

"I guess…" Elicia muttered.

 

At the same time, Alfonzo smiled happily as he created a dagger in his right hand. Then, he stabbed it towards Elicia's abdomen.

 

"What a shame, I would have rather seen that hottie Alfonzo covered in blood." Alfonzo said in a manic tone. "But I guess his fiancée will have to do for now."

 

Just before the dagger could sink into her abdomen, however, Elicia's threads wrapped around both the dagger and Alfonzo's arm, stopping them in place.

 

"Huh?" Alfonzo exclaimed in surprise.

 

"If you're gonna try and impersonate my Fonzie, you should get a few things right." Elicia said coldly. "First of all, he never calls me by my full name. Second, he can fly. So, why would he come running from the forest? And third, if he were gonna sneak attack me like that, he would have shocked me with electricity first."

 

As she finished, Elicia threw a kick that ended on Alfonzo's, or rather the imposter's chin, knocking him up into the air. Then, she wrapped her threads around his arms and torso before slamming him head first into the ground, rendering him unconscious.

 

A moment later, the fake Alfonzo's skin and clothes turned into a viscous grey liquid before it flowed away, revealing Draculina, or rather Himiko Toga of the Oración Seis.

 

"Huh?" Elicia exclaimed when she saw the identity of the imposter. "Weren't you supposed to be in prison? Why wasn't there any news you had escaped?"

 

In fact, as Brain mentioned previously, Himiko had been sent to him by Junko as a sixth seal for his [Six Prayers Seal]. Though Junko had originally fond her in the Tower of Heaven when she was controlling Jellal. And over the years, she was trained to be one of Grimoire Hearts strongest wizards, the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

 

While Elicia was pondering what happened, Monokuma, who had returned to its normal size approached Elicia and Himiko with its red eye blinking, a clear indicator that it was about to explode.

 

"Doesn't this chick ever give up?" Elicia asked while wrapping her threads around the unconscious Himiko.

 

*Boom~~~~~~~!"

 

Just before the little bear exploded, Elicia got herself and Himiko out of the blast radius. Unfortunately, she did not have the time to secure Junko, as well.

 

"I bet a hundred thousand Jewels that she didn't die in that explosion." Elicia said while looking at the dust cloud created from the explosion from a tree branch while carrying the bound Himiko over her shoulder. "I guess that's okay, though. If she's still alive, I'm definitely gonna kill her myself."

Chapter 301: Brushing off the Low-Ranking Members of Grimoire Heart

Earth land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Open Seas.

 

December 15, x784.

 

Shortly before the Grimoire Heart airship landed on Tenrou Island, the soldiers of the Magic Council's naval fleet were monitoring the ongoing situation. And luckily for them, they were able to see everything on the island once the barrier surrounding it broke.

 

"Sir, the sun is about to sink below the horizon." The fleet captain said to Lahar.

 

"I am aware." Lahar said as he watched the happenings on Tenrou Island through his binoculars.

 

*Swish!*

 

As lahar finished his sentence, a man wearing a high-collared orange shirt appeared on the flag ship's deck next to Lahar. As he did, all the soldiers and Rune Knights who saw him drew their weapons to subdue the intruder.

 

"Stand down!" Lahar ordered after feeling the familiar presence that appeared next to him. "Doranbolt, how did your mission go?"

 

"Unfortunately, it was a failure." Doranbolt replied. "The guild has done nothing that could warrant immediate disbanding."

 

"They were only holding their annual S-Class Promotion Exam." Lahar said while quickly glancing at his colleague. "What were you hoping to find?"

 

"Honestly, I didn't think I'd find anything." Doranbolt replied with a shrug. Though, Lahar did not miss the hint of disappointment in his tone.

 

"I know he doesn't like Fairy Tail, just like most of the members of the Council.' Lahar thought to himself as he glanced at Doranbolt once again. "But if he wasn't expecting to find any damning evidence, why is he disappointed.'

 

The reason for Doranbolt's disappointment was simple. He failed the optional mission of bringing Wendy, the Maiden of the Sky, as she has been called, back with him.

 

"I do think that my cover had been blown, though." Doranbolt added.

 

"So, they knew you were from the Magic Council?" Lahar asked.

 

"I don't think so." Doranbolt replied while shaking his head. "But they were all abnormally suspicious of me. Which means they thought I was someone suspicious. Even after I altered all their memories with my [Memory Control Magic]."

 

"I guess that means your magic is not as potent on those with a greater amount of magic power than you." Lahar said as he brought his binoculars up to his face again. "And since there are so many strong S-Class wizards in Fairy Tail, though I doubt they saw through it completely, they probably warned the other members just in case."

 

"As much as I hate to admit it, that makes sense." Doranbolt said while shaking his head.

 

If only Doranbolt knew that his identity had been seen through by a pair of reincarnators, he would probably question everything he ever knew.

 

"Anyway, how is the battle going?" Doranbolt asked.

 

"Currently, Master Makarov is facing off against Hades." Lahar replied. "But it looks like that battle will be ending shortly. It appears Makarov's age is finally catching up to him."

 

"I guess that means we will be losing another Wizard Saint this evening." Doranbolt replied.

 

"Wait, it looks like Makarov was just saved." Lahar said, surprise evident in his tone.

 

"Sir, there are a large number of Grimoire Heart wizards surrounding the Maiden of the Sky and two of those talking cats from Fairy Tail!" A soldier, who was watching another part of the island, shouted at nearly the same time."

 

Hearing the soldier's report, Doranbolt could only clench his fists in regret.

 

'I knew I should have just taken her, regardless of the consequences.' Doranbolt thought to himself as he stared at Tenrou Island in the distance. 'Letting someone with the ability to heal die in this conflict is pointless. Her abilities could help so many people'

 

Earth land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Tenrou Island.

 

As the soldier on the Magic Council flagship reported, Wendy, Carla, and Panther Lily were surrounded by at least thirty low-ranking members of Grimoire Heart.

 

"Ha! It's just a brat and a couple of cats." A male wizard said with a sneer on his face. "This will be the easiest assignment ever.

 

"If you really think it will be that easy, then you've truly underestimated us." Panther Lily replied as he started growing in size.

 

Eventually, Panther Lily grew to the size he had in Edolas. On top of that, the sword on his back grew to match his current size.

 

"Now, let's see if you're as strong as you think you are or just over confident due to your numbers."

 

"What the hell kind of cat is that?" A female wizard asked in surprise.

 

"It doesn't matter.!" Another male wizard shouted. "Just kill them. That's what Master Hades ordered, and that's all we need to do."

 

"Yeah!" All the low-ranking Grimoire Heart wizards shouted in unison.

 

"[Wind Magic: Drilling Air Bullets]."

 

"[Fire Magic: Grand Inferno]."

 

"Lightning Magic: Chain Lightning]."

 

With that, spells of all kinds of elements were fired in the Fairy Tail trio's direction.

 

In response, Panther Lily sprouted a pair of wings and evaded many of the spells while slashing his sword at those he could not. To his surprise, as well as the surprise of the opposing wizards, the spells Panther Lily slashed were dispelled on impact.

 

"That's new." Panther Lily said after dispelling several spells. "I guess I really owe Alfonzo an apology. This sword really is better than Bustermarm. It can even do this. [Buster Bomb]."

 

With his chant, the sword in Panther Lily's hand began to glow brightly as he flew toward the nearest group of wizards at high speed. Then, once he was in range, he swung his sword with all his might.

 

*Clang!*

 

*Boom~~~!*

 

Upon impact with the magic sword of one of Grimoire Heart's wizards, a large explosion was triggered, sending a number of the surrounding wizards flying with injuries of varying degrees.

 

Meanwhile, Wendy pulled Carla behind her as she evaded some of the incoming spells while she devoured all those of the wind element.

 

"Is she eating our magic?" one of the female wizards who used a wind spell asked. "Is she a God Slayer like Lord Zankrow?"

 

"No, I'm not." Wendy said as she and Carla flew forward. "I'm a dragon Slayer. [Sky Dragon's Wing Attack]."

 

With her chant, Wendy flapped her arms in the dark wizards direction. As she did, a pair of long, slender cyclones were generated around her arms and extended forward as they engulfed the nearby wizards and sent them flying in all directions.

 

"[Sky Dragon's Roar]." Wendy chanted another spell as Carla turned her towards a second group of enemy wizards.

 

With that, Wendy breathed out a larger cyclone that flung many wizards away due to the air currents.

 

At the same time, Levy and Gajeel had been surrounded by a similar number of low-ranking wizards from Grimoire Heart while in the forest.

 

"And here I was getting bored because I didn't get to fight anyone during the exam." Gajeel said with a feral grin on his face. "It made me wonder why I even teamed up with this Pipsqueak."

 

"What was that?" Levy asked with a tick mark on her forehead. "Was the chance to fight the only reason you teamed up with me, Gajeel?"

 

"Of course, it was." Gajeel replied. "Why else would I have teamed up with you?"

 

"I don't' know… Maybe to help me become S-Class?" Levy said angrily.

 

Finally noticing Levy's tone, Gajeel glanced at his teammate. And after seeing the angry expression she was wearing, he looked at her apologetically.

 

"Sorry about that, Pipsqueak." Gajeel said in apology. "But you know how much I like to fight strong people."

 

"Whatever." Levy replied while looking away.

 

"If your little lover's quarrel is over, can we start this battle?" One of the two wizards appearing to the lead the group of low-ranking wizards, a humanoid goat with short brown fur and a prominent flat nose wearing red samurai armor with the Grimoire Heart symbol embossed on the chest plate and a katana hanging on his hip, asked disdainfully.

 

"Why are you even bothering to talk to these weaklings, Cock-a-do." The second of the leading wizards, an anthropomorphic rooster with human arms as well as wings wearing an orange, eastern apron, black pants that showed off his avian legs, and a simple cloth belt, asked. "Just kill them, Cock-a-doodle-do!"

 

"Agreed." The humanoid goat replied while crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Attack!"

 

As soon as the order was given, all the low-ranking members of Grimoire Heart rushed forward while shouting their battle cries.

 

"Yeah, this is gonna be fun." Gajeel said while cracking his knuckles.

 

"I'll handle this." Levy said, stopping Gajeel from rushing forward. Then, with her light pen, she wrote a few words in the air in front of her. "[Solid Script Magic: Fire, Gale]."

 

A moment later, a flame appeared in the air in front of Levy. Then, in the next moment, a strong wind blew, feeding the fire as it transformed into a fire storm that rushed towards all the attacking wizards.

 

"Ahh~~~~~~~!"

 

"It burns!"

 

"Someone, help me!"

 

As the flames washed over all the attacking wizards, Gajeel glared at Levy with discontent.

 

"Am I ever gonna get to fight?" Gajeel asked.

 

"Hmph!" Levy snorted in response while looking away.

 

In response, Gajeel could only scratch his head while looking at Levy helplessly. He knew what he said was wrong. But he only said it because he was caught up in the moment. On top of that, he was really looking forward to fighting at least one of the S-Class wizards during the exam.

 

"I have to say." The humanoid goat said, breaking the awkward silence. "It looks like I've truly underestimated you."

 

"Cock! They're strong. Doodle-do." The anthropomorphic rooster added from the sky.

 

As the flames died down, the remaining two wizards from Grimoire Heart could be seen completely unscathed. While the rooster had flown above the flames, the goat had created a barrier in front of him to block them.

 

"Out of respect for the strength you've shown, I'll tell you my name. "The humanoid goat said as his barrier faded. "My name is Yamazu, one of the strongest low-ranking members of Grimoire Heart. I serve Master Caprico of the Seven Kin of Purgatory."

 

"And I'm Kawazu, Cock-a-doodle." The anthropomorphic rooster, Kawazu, added. "I also serve Lord Caprico, Cock-a-doodle-do!"

 

"Yeah, that's great." Gajeel replied. "Not that I needed to know your names to beat you up. The only thing necessary to know is that you are enemies."

 

After Gajeels reply, he looked at Levy.

 

"It's alright if I take them on, right?" Gajeel asked, hoping that Levy would not just lay waste to the enemies like she had done with the others.

 

"Fine." Levy replied. "But I'll back you up. I can tell they're stronger than the others."

 

"Yeah, but they're not as strong as they think they are." Gajeel said with the feral smile reappearing on his face. "And I'll prove it. [Iron Dragon Incarnation]."

 

With that, Gajeel was covered in iron, making him take the shape of a humanoid version of Metalicana. Then, as soon as his exoskeleton was formed, he flapped his wings and shot off in Yamazu's direction.

 

"Quite impressive." Yamazu said, drawing the katana on his hip. "But it's not enough. [Orient Sold Script: Zan]."

 

As he chanted, Yamazu slashed the kanji "Zan" into the air with his sword. Then, he slashed his sword in Gajeel's direction several times.

 

*Ting!* *Ting!* *Ting!*

 

As a result of his slashes, several air blades were sent flying IN Gajeel's direction. Though, the [Iron Dragon Slayer] did not move to defend or evade. And as it turns out, he did not need to, as the air blades simply struck his scales and dissipated.

 

"[Egg Buster]." Kawazu, who was still airborne, chanted as he spit out several eggs in Gajeel's direction.

 

Before the eggs could get too close to Gajeel, however, a curtain of flames appeared in the sky, thanks to Levy's [Solid Script Magic], burning all the eggs to cinders as they passed through it.

 

"You dare destroy my eggs?" Kawazu squawked after seeing his eggs being burned. "I'll destroy you, and everything you hold dear, Cock-a-doodle-do!"

 

"Your partner really is a bird brain." Gajeel growled as he neared Yamazu.

 

"Even if he is…" Yamazu said as he sheathed his katana. "You won't live long enough to tell anyone about it. [Dark Sword: Narukami]."

 

With his chant, Yamazu rushed forward. Then, as he entered the range of his attack, he drew his sword, slashing Gajeel across the chest. At the same time, a dark pulse was created that followed up his attack.

 

"Gah!" Yamazu groaned in pain as Gajeel slammed his shoulder into his abdomen.

 

"Not bad." Gajeel said with a manic smile. "You actually cut through a good bit of my scales. But did you really think you could penetrate the scales of an iron dragon with only one slash?"

 

As Gajeel said, Yamazu's [Sword Magic] spell cut into his scales, leaving behind a rather large gash. Unfortunately for him, it was not enough to penetrate the scales completely. As a result, Gajeel came out completely unharmed and slammed into Yamazu as he tried to rush past him.

 

And now, with Yamazu on his shoulder, Gajeel flapped his wings and took to the air.

 

Meanwhile, Kawazu, who was infuriated by the fact that Levy had destroyed his eggs, had focused all his attention on the petite, blue-haired girl, releasing dozens of eggs in the hope to kill her for what she had done.

 

Unfortunately, due to his fury, Kawazu had lost track of what was going on in Yamazu's battle with Gajeel. As a result, he was caught off guard when the two slammed into him from behind, causing him to squawk in pain.

 

"Now that I've got a hold of both of you, I think it's time to end this." Gajeel said as he stopped his forward momentum and let go of the two Grimoire Heart wizards. Then, he took a deep breath as he brought his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet. "[Iron Dragon's Roar]."

 

With that, Yamazu and Kawazu were hit with the blunt force of the swirling mass of [Metal Magic] while being slashed by the sharp iron shards that flowed along the swirling magic power, before they were slammed into the ground.

 

 As a result, both dark wizards lay at the bottom of a crater, unconscious.

 

A moment later, Gajeel landed next to Levy. Then, he dispelled his [Iron Dragon Incarnation] reveaingl the satisfied smile on his face before he subconsciously patted Levy on the head.

 

"Well, the fight didn't last as long as I would have liked, but it was fun, nonetheless." Gajeel said in a happy tone. "Thanks a lot for letting me be your partner, Pipsqueak."

 

"Sure, no problem.' Levy said in a small voice while lowering her head to hide the blush on her face.
