Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

Seeing how brazenly the other party treated Uruk, Gray and Rio clenched their fists in anger.

Just as Ur was about to cast a spell to teach them a lesson, Ron, who had been silent all along, stepped forward first.

Ron took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of white mist.

"We were already exhausted from traveling, how could we have run into something like this?"

Ron stopped and stood in front of Ur and Nano, looking at them with a bored expression.

"If you feed her, don't even think about taking her back."

I'm warning you once again, you still have time to run away.

"Huh?" "Eh?" "Hmm?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then burst into mocking laughter.

They were laughing so hard they almost went crazy watching a kid walk out and say such harsh words.

"What's wrong with this kid? Is he trying to be funny?"

Ron looked at them and, still unrepentant, shook his head helplessly.

With a thought, Ron equipped himself with the [Seven Seas Builder] character card.

"Now answer me, how many of your men are there and where are they?"

Why should I tell you?

He revealed a sharp look in his eyes and displayed a brand-new magic circle on his fist.

[Added Magic - Ten Strokes]

After Ron finished enchanting his fist, his gaze was fixed on the three of them.

Sure enough, ten dividing lines appeared on the three of them in Ron's field of vision.

Ron braced his calves, and his thick-soled boots sank deep into the snow.

"Still pretending...?!"

call out!

While the leading mage was still laughing, Ron's figure vanished from the spot, leaving only two deep shoe prints and some snowflakes bouncing into the air.

Ron used his explosive power to instantly appear beside him, freezing the other's smile.

Ron aimed his fist at the weak point on his opponent's chest and swung it out.

boom!

Ron's strike made the man's already open mouth gape open even wider.

In the end, overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, he didn't even have time to scream before collapsing onto the snow, his eyes rolling back in his head.

"what?!"

The man standing on the right was shocked and was about to rush towards Ron when Ron beat him to it and stood in front of him.

boom!

Ron's fist landed on the weak point at his waist, and the second man rolled onto the snow, instantly losing consciousness.

The remaining man stood frozen in place, his cold sweat freezing in the cold wind, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Nano's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Uru and the others were also stunned for a moment, their eyes fixed on Ron without moving.

Within a few breaths, two of the three who had been so arrogant just moments before collapsed.

Ron calmly clenched his fist and turned to look at the last mage whose fighting spirit had been shattered.

"I'll ask one last time, how many of your accomplices are there and where are they located?"

……

"A noisy second hand?"

The mage, kneeling on the snow, finally revealed the name of his mage guild to Ron, along with their territory and number of members.

Looking at the other two people sleeping peacefully on the snow, he couldn't help but admire his own cleverness in standing further back; otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as them.

How unlucky they were to encounter such a powerful mage.

Ron, still looking puzzled, turned to look at Ur and Gray behind him.

"I haven't heard of this guild before. You guys should be more familiar with it, right?"

"No, we haven't heard of it either."

Uruk shook his head, and Gray and Rio also looked completely unaware.

"I have absolutely no recollection of it."

Upon hearing this answer, the male mage was stunned, then let out a long sigh, revealing a deeply shocked expression.

Ron approached Nano and crouched down.

"Nano, are they trying to take you back?"

Nano looked up at Ron, who had helped her, and finally mustered up the courage to explain things to them.

"They captured me to force me to work, to incubate the demon's egg..."

"The egg of a demon?!"

Gray's pupils contracted, revealing a look of astonishment.

Nano nodded and recounted the whole story in detail.

It turns out that she had awakened a special magic that could accelerate the hatching time of eggs. After being discovered by the noisy Second Hand Guild leader, he forcibly kidnapped her and wanted to use her magic to hatch the demon.

"Don't they realize how many people will die if they hatch a demon?!"

Upon hearing about Nano's situation, Gray frowned, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth.

Uru frowned, patted Nano's head, and showed a pitying expression.

She then glared at the kneeling male mage, making him tremble and unable to look his mother in the eye.

"Hey, stop kneeling, take us to your Mage Guild."

Ron then kicked the male mage and pulled him up with a look of disgust.

It seems I'll have to stop by this bustling second hand before reaching the next town.

Chapter 67 Oh, so it's coming head-on?

With the help of a local mage, they quickly arrived at the bustling Second Hand Guild.

Ron and the others looked up at the huge, hemispherical, fortress-like guild building and were filled with awe.

Wow, what a huge fortress!

"If we were to sneak in, it would probably take half a day, right?"

Gray shielded his eyes from the falling snowflakes with his left hand and couldn't help but sigh.

Leo frowned and turned to look at the male mage whose hands were bound by ice handcuffs.

"Hey, your guild is so big, which room is the Demon Egg hidden in?"

The male mage, unable to bear the cold from the handcuffs, hurriedly began to explain.

"It's in the central hall of the fortress, but it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with the passageways. If I lead the way, it should take more than half an hour."

"No, we're in a hurry, let me do it."

Ron took the goggles out of the package with one hand and reached for the cloth bag hanging at his waist with the other.

"Since the target is right in the center, let's just keep moving straight ahead."

The male mage was stunned, a look of confusion on his face.

"Huh? How do we get forward if there's no road here?"

Ron then quickly molded several palm-sized pieces of white magical clay from his bag, threw the round clay directly at the outer wall, and silently recited the detonation command.

Boom!

Then came a loud explosion, sending rubble and snow flying everywhere, and Ron blasted a huge entrance into the outer wall.

“We can create a path ourselves.”

Ron adjusted his goggles and turned to the dumbfounded male mage.

The male mage's eyes widened even more at Ron's words. How could this boy have blown up his guild on his very first visit?!

Ron moved forward and entered the entrance he had created, and then another explosion rang out, blasting open another wall.

Ron continued forward, throwing magical clay at the walls as he went, preparing to go directly to the central hall!

Nano, standing behind, was also dumbfounded, her jaw almost dropping to the snow.

Uruk and Gray exchanged glances, their expressions showing that they were used to it.

"We're no longer surprised by what he pulls out now."

Having witnessed his power in sealing Deliora, Ron had already raised their threshold of astonishment to a very high level; they had seen this level of magic clay before.

Uru smiled helplessly, holding down the male mage with one hand, and led the three of them, including Nano, along the passage that Ron had blasted open.

Meanwhile, in the central hall at the deepest part of the guild.

In the center of the spacious hall, a huge soft cushion sits a black sphere over five meters tall, occupying about half of the space.

The surface of the black sphere was constantly writhing, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the faint sound of a heartbeat.

"Too slow, too slow!"

A short mage wearing a tall hat and strange clothes looked annoyed and shouted at the guild members around him.

He was none other than Nez Boomers, the clamorous guild master of the Second Hand Guild, standing on high heels, scanning his members with his heterochromatic black and white eyes.

"They only captured Nano, and they promised to capture her within a limited time. Now the time has passed, and she still hasn't shown up?!"

If they delay the hatching of the demon eggs, I'll drive them out!

After venting all his frustrations, he turned around, looked up at the huge black sphere, and grinned with a lewd smile.

"Hehe, as long as we hatch this demon, we who possess the demon will become the strongest guild in Ishgar!"

Boom!

Just as the dwarf was lost in his fantasy, a sudden explosion startled all the mages in the hall.

Even Nez almost lost his footing, and hurriedly tried to balance his stilts.

After he regained his footing, he looked to the left at the stone wall from which the explosion had come. A large hole had been blasted in it, filled with smoke and debris.

"An enemy attack?! Who dares to play with bombs on our guild's territory?!"

As the smoke cleared, Ron slowly walked in.

Following behind him were Ur and the others, along with Nano, and a member of their guild.

The male mage couldn't help but shed tears when he saw the guild master.

"President, I had no choice!"

"Shut up, you traitor!"

Nez angrily cursed at him, then his gaze swept over Nano, who was hiding behind Ur, and he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

"I thought it was the council members who came after receiving the news, but it turns out it's just a woman and a few kids. And you dare to barge in like this?!"

"Don't misunderstand, we just happened to be passing by and came to get justice for this child and stop your insane plan."

Ron sighed and said with a cold expression.

"Arrogant brat, bring Nano here! And lock the rest of you in jail!"

At Nez's command, the noisy Second Hand mages in the hall immediately launched an attack, while others rushed towards Ron and his companions as they cast spells.

Just as they rushed over, magic surged from Ur's body, and he cast a magic circle with his hands, preparing to fight.
