Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

‘Kacha’

Yevlit took this precious photo with satisfaction.

Chapter 95, The Six Demon Generals Arc

Early in the morning.

When Lucy arrived at the guild, she found everyone looking very serious.

Even Yefried, who had been gloating over his gourd of wine for days, was now twirling his cards with a blank expression.

Turning the cards with your index finger—Lucy had heard Mirajane mention that this was Yevlit's little habit when she was thinking.

Yefried had many habits that revealed his mood.

For example:

When he feels angry, he will push up his glasses with his left ring finger and cover his face with his palm.

When he's happy, he'll tilt his head slightly and smile, and at that moment he'll also have some mischievous ideas—according to Lucy's observation, Mirajane also has this habitual gesture, and it's unclear who infected whom.

When he is even happier, he will spin his cane.

When he is full of confidence during a battle, he will lean on his cane with both hands and show a confident smile on his face.

There are several scenarios related to the transfer of license plates—

For example, if he spins it around and then bounces it away, it means that he tends to think in a pleasant state.

And now, with a blank expression, but constantly turning the cards, this is his unconscious thought process—and he's thinking about something unpleasant.

What happened?

Lucy went forward and saw a line drawing floating in front of her, with many names written on it and connected by lines.

“Lucy, you’ve come at the perfect time,” Mirajane said.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked curiously.

“There’s a mission I’d like to tell you about first,” Mirajane said.

“Look at this picture,” Mirajane said, pointing to the drawing. “This is a map of the dark magic world.”

Lidas, who was standing nearby, said, "I drew this."

“The mission is related to this,” Mirajane said. “Lucy, you already know about the Dark Guild and the Dark Mages, right?”

“Hmm.” Lucy nodded and said, “It’s a legitimate guild that accepts formal commissions and is bound by both the Magic Council and the Kingdom’s regulations. All members of a legitimate guild are registered.”

"Those who accept illegal commissions, are not bound by double constraints, are expelled from the Magic Council, and are not recorded, can be considered criminals among mages. These are the Dark Mages. Even killing ordinary people will not make them feel guilty. Such people form Dark Guilds, which are extremely dangerous. Just like the Skull Guild before, they obeyed John Ahanitta's orders and did many evil things such as human trafficking and illegal imprisonment."

“That’s right.” Mirajane nodded. “In fact, it’s not just our Light Guild that has formed an alliance; the Dark Guild has also formed an alliance called the Balam Alliance.”

"The Balam Alliance is composed of dozens of subordinate dark guilds led by the three most powerful dark guilds: Oración Seis, Devil's Heart, and Tartaros. These guilds have always been involved in various evil schemes. Lucy, the Iron Forest and the Skull Guild that you dealt with before are both members of this alliance."

"Huh?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s a guild under the Oración Seis,” Gray said.

"What does it mean if there are many crosses on it?" Lucy asked again. "Does it mean it has been resolved?"

“That’s right.” Mirajane nodded.

Marcao said, "The souls of the corpses above were recently destroyed by the Thunder Gods."

"Juvia and Mr. Gajeel, back when they were still in Phantom Lord, they took care of quite a few dark guilds, and they were all subordinates of this Oración Seis." Juvia said to Gray with a boastful smile.

“That’s impressive.” Gray nodded.

Juvia showed a happy expression.

"Doesn't that mean we've been attacking their guild all along? Won't they hold a grudge?" Lucy said somewhat fearfully, recalling the Ghost Guild incident.

The Ghost Guild is still a legitimate guild, and although its actions are despicable, at least it has some bottom line.

But the Dark Guild has absolutely no bottom line!

"Don't worry about them holding a grudge," Chairman Makarov said, "because we're going to take the initiative to punish them!"

"Huh?" Lucy was stunned.

Makarov said with a serious expression, "I attended the council meeting a few days ago and it has been confirmed that the Oración Seis is carrying out evil deeds. We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for them to complete their plan, so we have decided to strike ahead of time and defeat them!"

“Us?” Lucy exclaimed in shock, “That Oración Seis sounds terrifying!”

“It’s not just us, after all, the enemy this time is quite powerful,” Makarov said. “To reduce casualties, this time it’s a joint force of several powerful guilds.”

"The Allied Forces?" Lucy asked, puzzled.

"That's right, we will select members from the five major guilds, Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Boa Hancock, Neko no Yakusoku, and Ilf, to form a united army to defeat the Oración Seis.

"No way." Lucy suddenly had a bad feeling, recalling Mirajane's earlier words, "You came at the right time." Could it be...?

“Now I will announce the list,” Makarov said. “Elsa.”

"Mm." Erza nodded.

"Natsu."

"I'm fired up!" Natsu was full of fighting spirit.

"Gray."

“Troublesome,” Gray complained slightly.

"Lucy."

"It really is me!" Lucy screamed in fright.

“Since I recommended it, let’s go together, Lucy!” Natsu patted Lucy on the shoulder, grinning with his big teeth showing.

"You bastard!!" Lucy was on the verge of tears.

“Yeflit”.

“I don’t want to go.” Yefrit flicked the card away, and it turned into a black stream of light with a few strands of gold, flying back into her palm.

"Stop throwing a tantrum, Yevlit!" Makarov scolded, frowning.

"Okay, I understand." Yefrit nodded helplessly.

"Thank goodness Yefrit went too." Lucy felt inexplicably relieved, but...

She asked, "Yefflit doesn't seem very interested; it's rare to see him like this."

“Well,” Gray chuckled, “because even this guy’s nemesis will be there.”

"A nemesis?" Lucy was puzzled. Someone who could be called a nemesis would be someone that even Yefrit would have a hard time dealing with, right? Did such a person really exist in this world? This made her very curious.

“Yes,” Gray said, picking up a newspaper at random. “You know her, right?”

Lucy looked at the largest page of the newspaper—

It's a picture of a top-tier beautiful girl, with the caption "The Fairy Goddess Destroys Three Dark Guilds in One Night".

"Of course I know them." Lucy nodded. After joining the guild, she had learned quite a bit about the magical world.

This fairy goddess is a mage whose reputation is no less than that of the Fairy Queen Erza. Not only is she beautiful, with pointed ears that resemble those of an elf, but she is also quite powerful.

“This guy’s beaten up Yefrit more than once,” Gray said.

"No way!" Lucy's eyes widened. Yefrit got beaten up? She couldn't believe it!

Even during the Phantom War, after defeating Guild Master Joseph, he wasn't injured!

He fought Laxus, and it's said that Laxus didn't even get a chance to touch him before he fell.

In Ahanitta Town, facing seven S-rank mages, he fought two against one and was still able to support other battlefields. He only broke a light sweat after the battle.

Lucy couldn't have imagined that Yefrit would get beaten up.

“So she’s a nemesis,” Gray said. “Yeffrit avoids her whenever she sees her.”

"She's such a stunning beauty!" Lucy exclaimed, looking at the newspaper with great surprise.

“Grey,” Yefrit’s somber voice came, “Is spreading rumors fun?”

"..." Gray was speechless. He said, "Keep being stubborn. The truth will come out when we meet."

“I’m not afraid of her! A violent female gorilla, rude and unruly, and she’s of elven blood. Demons also have pointed ears. She’s obviously a demon, no, a goblin!” Yefrit said angrily.

"..." Lucy was still a little unsure, but seeing Yefrit's unusually vulnerable expression, she now truly believed it.

"Alright," Makarov interrupted, "Let's get ready and set off."

"Lord Grey, Juvia can't go with you this time." Juvia's eyes were brimming with tears. "Please be careful!"

“Hmm.” Gray nodded. “You should also be careful when carrying out the commission.”

"Lord Gray is so kind!" Gray's words of concern delighted Juvia.

“Efrit, Erza,” Makarov said earnestly, looking at the two of them. “We must bring everyone back safely!”

"Yes!" The two nodded solemnly.

The Yefriedt family.

"Mr. Yefried, are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" Izakura asked.

“No need,” Yefrit shook her head.

“But the Oración Seis is no ordinary strongman; he is extremely dangerous. Mr. Yefried, you are not skilled in close combat,” Ikaruga said. “I said I would become your sword and kill all your enemies.”

"The Six Demons?" Yefrit tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said confidently, "They are not a threat to me yet, so there's no need to worry."

"Okay, please be careful. Emily and I are waiting for you to come home."

"Ah."

“Master, Emily believes in you. You’ll definitely catch those bad guys!” Emily raised her little fist, her face full of trust.

"Okay." Yefrit pinched her little cheek.

After a long journey.

Throughout the journey, Yevlit was in low spirits.
