Chapter 671 Encountering the Phantom's "Four Elements" Ambush!
"Waiting like this is incredibly frustrating. Shall we just go to the 'Spectre Ruler' guild and find that Joseph guy?"

Makarov has already gone to the Magic Council, but Natsu and the others who stayed at the guild to wait were clearly extremely impatient.

As soon as Natsu made his suggestion, everyone's attention turned to Seiya.

After all, Makarov had said before leaving that Seiya would be in charge of disciplining and directing everyone during his absence from the guild.

“If we come to their door now, then we will be the ones provoking them.”

Many members of the Magic Council have long been dissatisfied with our guild; isn't this just giving people a reason to disband our guild?

Furthermore, Phantom Lord's guild master Joseph is one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like our guild master. With the guild master away, are you planning to go and get yourselves killed?

"All of you stay put. The people of the 'Phantom Lord' are probably more anxious than we are."

"But this is too stifling..."

Before Natsu could finish speaking, Erza had already shoved his head into the wall.

This made Gray, who was originally going to say something, swallow hard and straighten his posture like a primary school student.

Just as Seiya and the others were waiting for news from Makarov, Mira suddenly ran back from outside looking anxious, saying that the chairman had been attacked by an unknown force on his way to the council.

Upon hearing the news, Seiya and the others rushed to the scene immediately and found Makarov in the suburbs, his expression pained and completely devoid of magic.

But just as Seiya and the others were checking Makarov's condition, four figures dressed in black robes suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was obvious that the other party had been hiding in the shadows and lying in ambush, waiting for the other members of Fairy Tail to come to rescue Makarov, so as to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Among the four figures in black robes, the tallest one clasped his hands together, and a huge cyan magic circle instantly appeared beneath Seiya and the others.

Almost at the same time that the magic circle enveloped them, Erza, who had been in a fighting stance, suddenly realized that the magic power in her body was rapidly draining away!

As Natsu and Gray charged toward their opponent, they were halfway there when they discovered that the magic circle on their hands had shattered, and the flames and cold air had vanished at the same time.

Having lost his magic, Natsu, who had been reckless, wanted to continue punching his opponent.

But then another figure suddenly stepped out from among the four black-robed figures and swept him and Gray back to their original spot with a katana.

"Damn it, what kind of magic is this? Why do I feel my magic power constantly draining away!"

Despite being knocked back by the attack, Natsu and Gray did try to continue using magic.

However, they were shocked to find that their magic power, which had just been gathered, would soon be completely drained.

"It seems that the president's magic power is depleted because he was ambushed. The other party was obviously prepared, and we have stepped right into their trap."

Feeling the magic power rapidly draining from his body, Seiya glanced at the magic circle beneath his feet, then at the tall figure among the four who maintained a gesture of clasping his hands together.

He clenched his fist slightly and found that although his magic power was draining, his physical strength was not affected. The next second, as the ground beneath his feet shattered, his figure shot out.

The magic circle that absorbed magic power was clearly the magic used by the tallest of the four, so Seiya, who shot out, appeared in front of his primary target almost instantly.

"So fast! Shouldn't his magic power have been drained? Why can he still use this acceleration magic!" Seeing Seiya almost teleport in front of the tall, black-robed figure, the mage who had been holding the katana also flashed in front of Seiya, drew his sword, which was wreathed in flames, and slashed down at Seiya.

Flames surged up with the slash, but unfortunately, his strike only hit Seiya's afterimage.

Moreover, just as he realized he had missed with his sword and was about to react, Seiya's figure appeared on the other side, stomped on his abdomen, and kicked him several meters away.

At the same time that the samurai swordsman was kicked away by Seiya, one of the four men, who was holding a cane, swung the cane to control the surrounding sand and stones, forming a giant fist that slammed into Seiya.

As the giant rock fist struck Seiya, he also reminded his companion, "He's not using magic; the speed and power he unleashed are all due to his physical attributes."

He was also deliberately trying to attract our attention so that his other companions could take Makarov away.

Juvia, don't let them get away!

Hearing his companion's call, the last of the four, a woman with a curvaceous figure, raised her umbrella and began to cast a spell.

"Water Shaping Magic: Water Flow Arching!"

As a hemispherical water curtain descended, Seiya and the others were directly enveloped in the water.

Before Jubilee and the others could relax, a slash suddenly burst out from under the hemispherical water curtain.

Not only did it slice through the hemispherical water flow like cutting a watermelon, but it also plowed a furrow in the ground with its remaining force before blasting towards Juvia and her group of four.

The person who had previously used earth magic waved his staff again, and a rock wall rose from the ground.

Although the rock wall blocked Seiya's slash, in that gap, Seiya had already thrown Erza and the others, who had lost their magic power, out of the magic circle's range.

"The president's condition is a bit bad. You should take the president to Grandma Poliuska first, and I will handle them."

There were four opponents, and Seiya, like them, had been inside a magic circle before. No matter how powerful his magic was, it was impossible for him to be completely unaffected.

So when Erza heard Seiya say that he wanted to stay behind to cover the rear, she was clearly hesitant.

The magic she uses is "dress-up magic," and even with little magic left, she still has the strength to fight thanks to her swordsmanship.

Just as she was about to say something, Seiya spoke first: "The fact that the other side ambushed us here shows that they came prepared. I guess there's something going on at the guild now."

Natsu and Gray's magic power hasn't recovered yet, so they're practically useless. If you encounter any other ambushes on the way, you'll be the only one who can put up a fight.

There's absolutely no need to worry; I'll catch up with you all very soon.

Upon hearing Seiya's words, Erza glanced at the unconscious Makarov, then at the powerless Natsu and Gray, and knew that now was not the time to be sentimental, so she simply picked up the three of them and turned to leave.

"You promised to compete with me later, so don't lose to someone else here."

Hearing Erza's parting words, Seiya gripped his longsword tighter, a smirk playing on his lips. "That's for sure," he said. "I won't lose to anyone, because I'm an S-rank mage from Fairy Tail!"
