章節 168: The Battle Continues

Earth Land ,Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.

 

August, x784.

 

Around the time Erza defeated Totomaru, the smoke, dust, and debris floating where the topmost floor of Phantom Lord's headquarters once stood was just settling down. At the back of the once luxurious room/command center was a cracked, shabby cocoon that seemed to be made of shadows given shape.

 

A moment later, the cocoon fell to the floor an sank into the shadow of the man it was once surrounding. Of course, that man was Jose Porla, the master of the Phantom Lord guild. And without even seeing his current state, it was clear to anyone that he was enraged.

 

Currently, Jose's clothes were in tatters, his hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot while he could be heard snarling from the floor below. Still, his magic power reserves seemed to be in good shape. His title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints was not just for show.

 

"Wizards of Phantom Lord!" Jose shouted, his magic power amplifying his voice so that everyone in Magnolia could hear it. "I want Alfonzo Marcus brought to me. Make sure he is alive! I will show him what it means to anger one of the Ten Wizard Saints."

 

That declaration set the rest of the wizards in Phantom Lord in motion. Jose, on the other hand, stopped caring about what was going on in his headquarters after giving his order. Instead, he walked to the edge of what used to be the top floor and peered down at the gathering of Fairy Tail wizards. However, when he saw Makarov, his unhappy expression became more prominent.

 

"Damn that Makarov." Jose muttered to himself. "I'll make him suffer for this."

 

Meanwhile, back on the ground, no one was sure what they should do at this point. Four of their strongest wizards just rushed into the enemy base. Then, another one rushed off to protect the target of the enemy attack.

 

"What do you think Jose will do next?" Ur asked from next to Makarov.

 

"I don't know exactly." Makarov replied while shaking his head. "But he definitely isn't done yet."

 

As if to prove Makarov's words correct, shadows started dotting the clearing where the Fairy Tail wizards were gathered. A moment later, they all grew into shadow creatures with short legs, long arms, sharp claws, and demon-like faces.

 

"Everyone! Those are made with Jose's [Shade Magic]!" Makarov shouted as he generated a ball of [Light Magic] in each of his hands. [The only way to destroy them is with [Light Magic]. So, If you don't know it, be aware that the [Shades] will reform and continue to attack, even if you disperse them.

 

"Seriously, Gramps?" gray said as he made his hand gesture. "[Ice-Make: Lance]."

 

In the next instant, several ice spears shot from the magic circle that appeared in front of Gray's hands, skewering the nearest [Shades] and causing them to disperse into particles of [Darkness Magic]. Unfortunately, just as Makarov had warned them, they quickly returned to their original forms.

 

"You've got to be kidding me." Gray muttered as he prepared to cast another spell.

 

"Quit complaining and start attacking." Ultear scolded from nearby. "[Ice-Make: Thorn Trap]. "

 

Like Gray, a magic circle appeared in front of Ultear's hands. However, instead of her ice constructs appearing from the magic circle, ice roses grew from the ground beneath more than a dozen of the [Shades]. And as they grew, they wrapped around the creatures and sank their thorns into them as they constricted their targets.

 

"We don't have the time for that." Ultear continued.

 

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Gray muttered while he continued to fire spells.

 

Meanwhile at the front of the group, standing with Makarov and Ur, Cana drew a combination of her magic cards and channeled her magic power into them.

 

"[Card Magic: Explosion Cards]." Cana chanted as she threw the cards in front of her.

 

Instead of falling to the ground, however, the cards arranged themselves in a curved formation and fired a burst of [Fire Magic] at all the [Shades] in front of Cana. Meanwhile, as the flames engulfed the [Shades] in their range, Cana reached into the two card pouches on her waist and flung a couple of handfuls of cards at the [Shades] her spell missed.

 

"[Random Throwing]." Cana chanted as the cards left her hands.

 

Meanwhile, Makarov, the only wizard in the guild who could use [Light Magic] was firing off blasts of [Light Magic] at the [Shades], focusing on any that were close to ambushing any of his children.

 

"That Jose, he knows I can't use any spells that are too strong." Makarov grumbled. "[Light Magic] can be extremely indiscriminate. And if I use a large scale spell, the others will get caught in it. But if he thinks he can tire me out like this, then he's going to be sorely disappointed."

 

Like that, all the wizards on the ground continued to defend against the [Shades]. Meanwhile, Alfonzo, Elicia, Erza, and Mirajane were making their way through the corridors of the Phantom Lord HQ. And as they did, they were attacked by a throng of Phantom Lord wizards.

 

"This is so annoying." Elicia said as she flung a B-Class wizard into a wall with her threads. "I guess Phantom Lord believes in quantity over quality, huh?"

 

"All it means is that they can get more lower ranked quests done at the same time." Alfonzo replied while firing blunt pieces of metal at the incoming enemies.. "that's the only reason they're on par with us. We get many more A-Class and higher quests done. But our low ranking quest completion numbers are much lower."

 

"Oh, I see." Elicia replied with a nod. "This is still really annoying."

 

"Agreed." Erza added as she cut down an enemy wizard. "There is no honor to be had in defeating those so much weaker than we are."

 

"Just do something about it, Alfonzo." Mirajane said as she sent a wave of [Darkness Magic down the corridor.

 

"Fine, I'll handle the next corridor by myself." Alfonzo replied with a wry smile.

 

Like that, the four Fairy Tail wizards continued clearing the corridor. At the end of the corridor, they found an open area that looked a bit like an arena. However, there was no one inside. O the walls, however, there were carvings that signified water.

 

"I guess we would have had to fight Juvia if she had been here, huh?" Elicia asked after the group entered the room.

 

"Speaking of that girl, where is she?" Mirajane asked curiously. "I remember sensing her by the guild before the attack started. But I stopped paying attention to her after that."

 

"She's probably still watching Gray, Ultear, and Ur." Elicia replied with a shrug. "She thinks they're her soul mates, or something."

 

As the quartet continued to the next corridor, they were once again greeted with a large number of Phantom Lord wizards, ranging from C-Class to A-Class.

 

"Alright, do your thing, Alfonzo." Mirajane said, patting Alfonzo on the shoulder as she dispelled her [Take Over].

 

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Alfonzo replied as he opened a pair of small bags hanging on his waist.

 

A moment later, a large amount of orichalcum dust flowed out of the bags.

 

"[Metal Magic: Metal Sand Tidal Wave]." Alfonzo chanted.

 

In the next instant, the orichalcum dust rushed down the corridor nearly covering all the available space from the floor to the ceiling.

 

Seeing the incoming wave of sparkling, dull gold grains of metal, the Phantom Lord wizards paled immediately. Then, no longer worried about following Jose's orders, the more timid ones turned around and tried to run away. At the same time, those who considered themselves powerful cast spells, thinking to disperse the wave.

 

"Earth magic: Earth Spear Barrage]."

 

[Lightning Magic: Volt Discharge]."

 

"Wind Magic: great Breakthrough]."

 

Several spells, of several elements, were simultaneously cast toward the incoming wall of orichalcum dust. Though some of the spells did manage to penetrate the tidal wave's first layer, they were quickly snuffed out by the rest of the wave.

 

Seeing that their spells did not work, the formerly confident wizards copied their colleagues and turned around to run as fast as they could. Unfortunately, they were a bit too late.

 

Before the wizards could get too far, they were washed over by the orichalcum tidal wave and washed along the corridor.

 

A little further ahead, the wizards who ran immediately upon seeing the metal sand wave, were now struggling to get through the door leading to the next arena area. Unfortunately, the doorway was too small to allow more than two wizards entry at the same time. So, the wizards  who were unable to get into the next room met the same fate as the ones who tried to fight back, they were all crushed between the orichalcum tidal wave and the wall.

 

Lucky for those wizards caught in the tidal wave, the wall was not strong enough to handle the pressure from all the orichalcum sand. So, as the wall they were pressed up against broke, they ended up simply flowing into the next room with the sand. Then, Alfonzo pulled back all the sand and stored it in his waist pouches, leaving a group of barely conscious, bloodied, and bruised Phantom Lord wizards lying in the next room.

 

"Was that good enough?" Alfonzo asked while rolling his shoulders as if he had worked extremely hard.

 

"Good job, Fonzie." Elicia said while patting Alfonzo on the shoulder.

 

In response, Alfonzo simply rolled his eyes. Still, he wrapped his arm around Elicia's waist and pulled her close.

 

"Oh, which one of you is gonna fight that guy, Sol?" Alfonzo asked uncaringly. "I can feel him waiting for us in the next room. I can take care of him too if you want me to."

 

"No, I'll fight him." Mirajane said with a smile. "It's not often that I get to fight another S-Class wizard. So, I wanna see how I stack up."

 

"Honestly, you'll probably roll him up like a newspaper." Alfonzo replied with a shrug. "But if you want to, go ahead."

 

Just like that, Alfonzo and the girls continued chatting as they made their way down the corridor. After reaching what used to be the wall that separated the corridor from the arena like room, they walked past all the wizards who were clearly no longer fit to fight.

 

"Okay, Mira." Elicia said. "We'll keep on going ahead. You can catch up to us when you're done."

 

"Sure." Mirajane replied with a nod. "I'll catch up as fast as I can."

 

"Non, non, non." Sol said, shaking his right index finger at the intruders. "I cannot allow you all to pass."

 

"Dude, do you really think you can stop even one of us? Let alone the four of us?" Alfonzo asked with an eyebrow raised.

 

"Of course I do." Sol replied while bowing elegantly. "And after reading your minds during our short conversation, it will be even easier."

 

While Alfonzo and Elicia looked bored after hearing what Sol had to say, Erza and Mirajane looked uncomfortable at the thought that someone was reading their minds and seeing their memories.

 

"Now, allow me to see the despair on your faces as you relive your worst memories." Sol said while spreading his arms theatrically. "[Merci la Vie]."

 

After Sol's chant, all five people in the room waited. But when after a whole minute, nothing happened, Sol looked visibly panicked.

 

"[Merci la Vie]." Sol chanted once again.

 

This time, only thirty seconds went by. Still, nothing happened. Actually, that was inaccurate. Sol's face paled from failing to ensnare anyone in his spell,[Merci la Vie], which makes its targets relive their most tragic memories, over and over. At the same time, unless they are able to break out of the despair, they would eventually be turned to stone.

 

"You know, most spells that challenge a person's will rely on two things." Alfonzo said, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

 

Naturally, this caught Sol's, as well as the girls', attention. So, they all focused their gazes on Alfonzo.

 

"First, you have to actually overpower your target's will." Alfonzo continued.

 

At least, that was what Alfonzo surmised after seeing Elfman caught by this spell in the series. And to solidify this theory, Elfman was able to break out of the spell when he heard Mirajane crying. What was even more important to him than his own life, was that of his, thought to be, only remaining family. So, Elfman was able to break out of the spell with his heightened will and desire to never see his sister cry again.

 

As for Sol's four current targets, they had all been through their own personal hell and overcame it. So, Sol's magic would have little effect on them.

 

"And the second reason is even more simple." Alfonzo said with a grin. "We all completely outclass you in magic power reserves."

 

With that, all four Fairy Tail wizards flared their magic power to its limits. As a result, all the injured Phantom Lord wizards fell unconscious from the pressure. At the same time, most of the floor and parts of the walls gained  cracks. Meanwhile, Sol started sweating nervously.

 

"Just because you have more magic power, does not mean that you are stronger in combat." Sol said, trying to keep his morale high.

 

"That's a distinct possibility." Mirajane said, taking  a step towards Sol. "But in this case… Well… You'll find out soon enough if that applies in this situation."

 

"Ha! Phantom Lord is the strongest guild." Sol said as a magic circle appeared at his feet. "[Plãtre Sonata]."

 

In the next instant, a fist made of plaster started forming in front of Sol. Meanwhile, Mirajane could only shake her head at the attempt.

 

"[Satan Soul: Halphas]." Mirajane chanted as she continued to walk forward.

 

Once again, Mirajane was covered in a bright light that hid her appearance for a moment. At the same time, Sol sent his spell flying at Mirajane without waiting for her transformation to finish.

 

"That's just bad manners." Alfonzo said in a disappointed tone.

 

"Seriously, what kind of fascist doesn't let their opponent finish their powering up scene." Elicia asked in a disdainful tone.

 

As the plaster fist drew near, the flash of light that covered Mirajane raised one of its arms. Then, it placed it's palm in to the flight path of the incoming attack.

 

"[Dark Deflect]." Mirajane's voice rang out, sounding much more demonic than before.

 

In the next moment, the plaster fist flew off to the side, impacting one of the already damaged walls from when Alfonzo, Elicia, Erza, and Mirajane flexed their magic power, causing it to crumble.

 

"How is this possible?" Sol exclaimed in confusion.

 

At the same time that the fist destroyed the wall, Mirajane's new appearance was revealed. With the same hair style, her ears had transformed into elongated, sky blue, pointy scales. Her forearms, wrists, hands, knees, shins, ankles, and feet were all covered in an armor that seemed to be made of the same sky blue scales, and she grew a thick tail that seemed to be made of plates of the same material that became thinner as it reached its tip.

 

As for her clothing, Mirajane was now clad in a revealing one-piece body suit that only covered her torso with large openings in both the front and back that reveal her upper breasts, an abundance of cleavage, her belly, and most of her back.

 

"now, let me show you what an S-Class wizard from the strongest guild really looks like." Mirajane said with a grin.

 

A moment later, Mirajane disappeared from where she stood in a burst of speed. Then, as soon as she was in range, she threw a barrage of punches at Sol.

 

To Mirajane's surprise, however, Sol managed to dodge all of them by contorting his body in an inhuman fashion.

 

"So, this is what Gray was talking about, huh?" Mirajane muttered as she continued to throw punches. "Well, it's definitely weird. But in the end, useless."

 

Circulating her magic power even more fiercely through her body, Mirajane's speed increased. Still, she was unable to land a clean hit on Sol. Though, he was still covered in bruises and light cuts from all the glancing blows that landed.

 

"Haha! If that's all you have, you'll never defeat me." Sol gloated.

 

"What would make you think that this is all I have" Mirajane asked with a  smirk. "I just wanted to see that strange ability to contort your body for myself. And now that I have, it's time to end this. [Halphas Blast]."

 

Just before she chanted her spell, Mirajane formed a bit of distance between herself and Sol. Then, she created a pink orb of [Darkness Magic] on her palm before letting it float away. Eventually, it reached above Sol's head. Then, it started raining down small, pink energy blasts that left craters all over the floor of the arena.

 

Still, Sol managed to dodge them all by contorting his body. And just as he was about to taunt Mirajane once again, Sol's eyes widened as he saw Mirajane gathering a second ball of [Darkness Magic] In her palm.

 

"Oh, Mon Dieu." Sol muttered after seeing the orb in Mirajane's hand.

 

"[Halphas Blast]." Mirajane chanted once again.

 

This time, the orb in Mirajane's palm was fired like a beam. And even though Sol was able to dodge it like before, the explosion that followed was not something he could dodge. As a result, the wall behind him was blown out and he was flung through the hole, unconscious.

章節 169: I'm All Fired Up!

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.

 

August, x784.

 

While most of the Fairy Tail wizards were fending off the attacks from Jose's [Shades] and spells of all kinds, from pink smoke to purple fire to wooden constructs rained down over the area where the original guild hall once stood, the sound of a loud explosion from the higher floors of the Phantom Lor headquarters managed to draw many of their attention.

 

A moment later, shortly after seeing a flash of pink light, they saw the battered figure of Sol flying out of the structure and falling toward the river.

 

"Looks like Big Sis is having fun." Lisanna cheered as she shredded a [Shade] into particles of [Darkness Magic] with the claws she gained from her [Animal Soul: Cat] form.

 

After dispatching the [Shade] in front of her, Lisanna, in the form of a humanoid cat clad in a two piece, tiger-skin bikini with cat-like features such as long, sharp claws, cat ears, a tail, and a cat's nose, used the additional speed granted by the [Take Over] to jump around the battlefield and deal with any unsuspecting [Shades].

 

"Yeah!" Elfman roared in his [Take Over] form of the beast as he flung one [Shade after another around with his immense strength. "Mira showed that guy what a real man looks like."

 

"Mirajane is not a man." Laki replied dryly while sidestepping a [Shade's] claw swipe before gesturing with her hands in its direction. "[Wood-Make: Violent Approach]."

 

In the next instant, a large, spiked, wooden ball formed in front of her and was launched at the attacking [Shade], dispersing it.

 

*Boom!*

 

"I don't know how many times I've asked myself this, but what do her spell names even mean?" Bisca asked as she cocked her magic shotgun before unloading a magic slug loaded with [Light Magic] into the nearest [Shade].

 

"Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

 

"I've known her for as long as I've been in the guild." Alzack said while spraying [Ice Magic] bullets from the pistol in his right hand at a group of [Shades] before aiming his right pistol at the now frozen targets. "But her naming sense has always been weird. I even remember a time when Alfonzo tried to get her to use more normal names, ending with him just having a massive headache."

 

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

 

Just after finishing his explanation, Alzack fired [Light Magic] bullets at all the frozen [Shades], dispersing them for good.

 

"Kya~~~~~~~~~~!"

 

While the battle continued, suddenly, everyone on the battlefield heard a scream filled with despair. Looking in the direction of the scream's source, everyone saw Cana with an expression of lament on her face and looking towards the ground.

 

Following Cana's line of sight, the Fairy Tail wizards saw the remains of a broken barrel laying atop a puddle of what they assumed to be ale.

 

"Oh, shit!" Macao exclaimed in horror. "Everyone, get down! Things are about to get dangerous!"

 

And just as Macao warned, Cana's expression morphed from one filled with despair into one completely devoid of emotion. Then, she reached into her two card pouches, drawing and discarding cards rapidly. Eventually, she had a handful of cards that she was satisfied with and channeled her magic power into them.

 

"Card Magic: Super Nova]." Cana chanted dispassionately.

 

A moment later, Cana was covered in a bright, white light. Then, after another moment, the light was blasted in all directions in a hemispherical shape originating from Cana's chest, where she held the cards. Luckily, Macao's warning came in time, as all the Fairy Tail wizards had thrown themselves to the ground, saving them from the indiscriminate spell.

 

The [Shades], on the other hand, were not so lucky. Although the magical shockwave did not cover the entire area around her starting from the ground, the [Shades] were nearly ten feet (approx. 3 m) tall. As a result, almost all of the [Shades] surrounding the Fairy Tail wizards were destroyed.

 

A moment later, due to magic power exhaustion, Cana flopped down where she stood and looked at the destroyed barrel and puddle of ale in grief.

 

"You were taken away from us before your time." Cana said sadly. "But don't worry, you can rest in peace. I've taken revenge on those who did this to you."

 

Meanwhile, Makarov, the first to recover after Cana's spell, fired [Light Magic] blasts at all the surviving [Shades] while occasionally glancing at the completely distraught Cana.

 

'When he gets back, I need to have a serious conversation with Gildarts about his daughter.' Makarov thought to himself as he continued to cast spells. 'I should probably talk to Alfonzo, too. There's probably a higher chance that she'll listen to him rather than Gildarts.'

 

At the same time, on the western outskirts of Magnolia, Reedus was standing protectively in front of Lucy while quickly painting all sorts of animals on his white clothes that cover his comically oversized torso. Then, as he completed each painting, he would animate them with is [Picto Magic] and send them at the young man, Gajeel Redfox, who was attacking him in an attempt to kidnap Lucy.

 

Unfortunately, although Reedus was a strong A-Class wizard, he was not in Gajeel's league when it came to destructive power or fighting prowess, which was made painfully obvious when Gajeel, with little effort, turned each of Reedus' painted animals into paint stains on the ground with physical strength alone.

 

"If this is all you got, it would be better if you just hand the girl over." Gajeel said with a smug grin on his face. "Although I can't guarantee it would be painless for you, you did make me waste a lot of time, after all. But it would be a lot less painful than if I have to make my way over there myself."

 

"Hmph! I would never allow you to take one of us without a fight." Reedus replied with a snort.

 

"Reedus, I'll help, too." Lucy said from behind Reedus with a Celestial Key in her hand. "[Open! Gate of the Golden Lion, Leo]."

 

In the next instant, a young man with spikey orange hair, blue tinted sunglasses, and wearing a black business suit appeared next to Lucy.

 

"Hey, gorgeous, need my help with something?" Leo asked as soon as he was summoned.

 

"There's no time for flirting, Leo." Lucy said with a slight frown. Then, she pointed a finger at Gajeel before she continued. "That guy is trying to kidnap me."

 

Following Lucy's finger, Leo finally caught sight of Gajeel. Then, he pushed his sunglasses up his nose as his expression became solemn.

 

"Well, we can't have that now, can we?" Leo asked rhetorically as his hands were engulfed in bright [Light Magic].

 

A moment later, Leo had dashed forward throwing a left hook at Gajeel's right cheek.

 

"Oh, this should make things more interesting." Gajeel said as he leaned back slightly to narrowly dodge the punch.

 

Unbothered by Gajeel's dodge, Leo followed up with a right straight that Gajeel ducked under before once again leaning his head out of the way of a left uppercut. Then, Gajeel swatted the following overhead right with his left palm, using the momentum to perform a spin and throw his right elbow at Leo's temple.

 

Reacting quickly, Leo forced Gajeel's elbow upward with his left palm before landing a powerful right hook on Gajeel's rib cage, causing him to slide away due to the force of the impact.

 

"Not bad." Gajeel said while rubbing the spot where he was just punched. "I actually felt that."

 

With that, Gajeel rushed forward with a smile on his face. As soon as he was in range, he used his left foot to throw a front kick that Leo dodged by stepping back. However, before Leo could react any further, Gajeel changed the direction of his foot and stomped down, hard, on Leo's right foot.

 

Grunting in pain from the sudden stomp, Leo barely got his hands up to block Gajeel's follow up attack, a let straight. Unfortunately, Leo was too focused on the attack targeting his face and missed the right hook aimed at his ribs.

 

"Gah!" Leo grunted as the punch landed on his ribs.

 

Unfortunately, with Gajeel's foot pressing down on his own, Leo was not able to make any distance after taking the attack, so he was once again struck by the roundhouse kick that followed. Though, he was able to use his left shoulder to protect his head from the blow.

 

As a result of Gajeel's kick landing, Leo was sent  flying to his right. Then, after slamming into the ground, he rolled a couple of times before pushing himself up and retaking his fighting stance.

 

"Damn… That hurt." Leo said as he rolled his left shoulder.

 

"Leo, are you alright?" Lucy asked in concern.

 

Although she was concerned with Leo's wellbeing, Lucy was even more reproachful of herself. Leo was one of the strongest spirits of the Celestial World. However, his power on Earth Land was limited by his contractor's magic power. Meaning, Lucy was one of the factors that put Leo at a disadvantage in this fight.

 

"Don't you worry your pretty little head." Leo replied with a grin. "It will take a lot more than that to keep me down."

 

After that, Leo focused on Gajeel once again, his grin nowhere to be seen.

 

"Ready for round two?" Leo asked.

 

"I hope you can make it more interesting than round one." Gajeel replied mockingly.

 

"You can count on that." Leo replied as he started running towards Gajeel once again.

 

However, instead of going in for melee combat right away, halfway to his opponent, Leo took on a posture that was clearly made for casting magic.

 

"[Lion's Brilliance]." Leo chanted.

 

With is chant, Leo radiated a bright light, causing Gajeel to shield his eyes. Curiously, the bright light did not seem to bother Reedus or Lucy, though.

 

With Gajeel distracted, Leo channeled as much of his magic power through his body as it could handle. Then, he dashed around Gajeel, his steps making no sound. Once he was behind his opponent, Leo's right fist lit up with [Light Magic] even brighter than before and threw a punch at the back of Gajeel's head.

 

"[Regulus impact]." Leo chanted, his punch halfway to its destination.

 

To Leo's surprise, Gajeel, with his eyes closed made a half turn and raised his left hand, stopping Leo's punch in its tracks by grabbing Leo's wrist in a vice-like grip.

 

"How?" Leo muttered in disbelief.

 

Though the power behind Leo's last punch was significantly higher than before and the fact that Gajeel stopped it with one hand surprised him, the fact that Gajeel was able to react, while he was unable to see his surroundings, was even more of a surprise.

 

Another thing that Flustered Leo was the fact that his punch did not connect. As previously stated, the punch he just threw was significantly stronger than any other he had thrown since he was summoned. However, the real crux of the [Regulus Impact] spell was the lion head made of [Light Magic] that would surge forth after Leo's attack landed.

 

"I'm a Dragon Slayer." Gajeel said with a grin. "even if I couldn't see you, I could smell you."

 

"Dragon Slayer?" Leo exclaimed. "I thought they were all killed off four hundred years ago."

 

"Looks like someone needs to keep up with the times." Gajeel replied with a smug grin. "But now, I think it's time for you to leave the stage. Come back again when you're strong enough to be a real challenge. [Iron Dragon's Club]."

 

With that, Gajeel swung his right arm that had transformed into an iron club across the side of Leo's head, sending him flying once again.

 

"Argh!" Leo shouted in pain as his sunglasses broke.

 

Like last time, Leo slammed into the ground and started rolling. Unlike last time, however, he was unable to arrest the momentum. Instead, he continued to roll until the momentum naturally ran out.

 

"Leo~~~!" Lucy screamed in concern.

 

"Ah… Sorry, Gorgeous." Leo said weakly. "It looks like I'm done for today."

 

With that, Leo was transported back to the Celestial Spirit World in a flash of golden light.

 

Meanwhile, Reedus had once again started sending his paintings at Gajeel to try and stop him. Unfortunately, Gajeel had grown tired of the nuisance Reedus represented. So, he simply dashed forward, destroying Reedus paintings along the way before landing a high kick on Reedus chin and knocking him unconscious.

 

"Now it's just you and me, Princess." Gajeel said as he turned towards Lucy. "Why don't you do us both a favor and come along quietly."

 

"No, I'm not going back!" Lucy shouted indignantly.

 

"*Sigh* I guess we're doing this the hard way, then." Gajeel said in an annoyed tone.

 

Before Gajeel could start moving toward her, Lucy unwrapped her whip from around her right leg. Then, with all her might, she swung it at Gajeel. Unfortunately, she was neither strong nor skilled enough to even slow Gajeel down.

 

"You would have been better off summoning another one of those spirits." Gajeel said as he effortlessly caught the whip.

 

Lucy knew what Gajeel said was true. However, she also knew that due to her weakness, she would have only been summoning them to receive injuries at Gajeel's hand. Although, they would have given her an opportunity to run away, she would never sacrifice her spirits in that manner.

 

"No matter." Gajeel said with a shrug. "This ends now."

 

With that, Gajeel yanked on the whip, causing Lucy, who had been trying to free it from his grasp, to come flying towards him.

 

'Am I really gonna be force to go back?' Lucy lamented as she approached Gajeel. 'No, I don't wanna go back. Not like this. Someone, please help me.'

 

As if to answer her prayers, a pink and black blur rushed past, catching Lucy before Gajeel could get his hands on her.

 

"Huh?" Lucy exclaimed in confusion as she found herself being carried like a princess.

 

Looking up, she was surprised to see Natsu, with a solemn expression on his face.

 

"Natsu, why are you here?" Lucy asked in a confused tone. "Don't they need you at the guild hall?"

 

"Well, Alfonzo told me to come and protect you." Natsu said as he put Lucy down. "And it's a good thing he did. If not, I would have followed him into Phantom Lord's base after he destroyed that cannon thingy and the top floor. Then, they would have been able to take you away."

 

Hearing Natsu's explanation. Lucy could feel her heart start to race.

 

'Alfonzo sent him?' Lucy thought to herself. 'Even while dealing with some kind of cannon, he was still worried about me?'

 

As Lucy's thoughts continued, her cheeks started to redden. However, before she could get lost in her thoughts, Gajeel's surprised shout pulled her back to reality.

 

"Are you saying that guy stopped the Jupiter Cannon?" Gajeel shouted in disbelief. "That's impossible. Nothing can withstand a shot from the Jupiter Cannon!"

 

"I don't really care if you believe me or not." Natsu said while cracking his knuckles. "But it's time to make you pay for hurting my friends. You're about to find out why even other dragons don't touch a dragon's reverse scale, Gajeel."

 

Just after Natsu finished, he flared his magic power, resulting in fire engulfing his entire body.

 

"Oh yeah! Now, I'm all fired up!" Natsu shouted before dashing towards Gajeel.
