Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 628 Ice Demon God Gray and Natsu with the Power of Five Dragons

The key to the Zodiac that Volod possesses is Libra Libra, which is said to have been seen by someone in an ancient village in the northwest corner of the continent of Ishgar some time ago.

Warrod wasn't entirely clear on the details, only knowing that the Libra Key seemed to be very important to that ancient village, and was regarded as a kind of sacred object.

Having received the information, Lucy expressed her sincere gratitude and memorized the location of the ancient village.

Although she really wanted to collect all twelve zodiac signs, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't do something like forcibly taking them.

If the Libra Key is truly irreplaceable, or if it develops like in the future world and has already been obtained by Yukino or another Celestial Spirit Mage who also loves Celestial Spirits, then we can only give up on it.

Aside from those two possibilities, Lucy is determined to get the Libra key!

However, before heading to the ancient village, they had to return to Magnolia to report to Makarov on this S-class commission.

As compensation for his earlier joke, Warlord once again used nature magic, employing a giant vine tree large enough to span the continent to precisely transport everyone to the forest outside Magnolia.

Thanks to Torches, Lucy's team received a warm welcome from the local residents.

Hmm, I really want to walk over and give them a warm welcome, pretending not to know them.

"Phew, I'm finally back."

Standing in front of the Fairy Tail guild gates, listening to the sounds coming from inside, Lucy took a deep breath and couldn't help but complain, "It only took two and a half days to complete the commission, but why does it feel like there was a long gap in between?"

"Perhaps it's because the journey is quite long?"

"Or perhaps they went through a truly extraordinary battle."

Levy and Eclair nodded slightly, clearly sharing the same misconception.

In contrast, Chase and his two companions, who were just having fun and watching the show, didn't seem to feel much.

"Let's go in first. Don't we still need to report to the president?" Mira said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang," and Chase had already opened the door.

Disciplinary Committee member Erza immediately turned her head to the side, pretending not to see.

The sudden commotion startled everyone in the guild, but when they saw it was Chess and his group, they calmly sat back down.

"Lucy, you're back?" Ginana stopped what she was doing.

"How's it going? Is the S-rank commission going smoothly? Have any unexpected problems arise?" Lisana, who was replacing Mira at the bar, asked with concern.

"With those three monsters like Chess following along, it can only be someone else who gets into trouble—"

Macao and Wakaba, who were sitting in the corner drinking, looked completely at ease.

Upon hearing this, as if they had planned it in advance, the entire Lucy team stood up straight, their lips slightly upturned, revealing varying degrees of pride.

It's been such a long time! This is the moment I finally get to show off in front of my friends!

"Heh heh, don't be scared when I tell you."

Lucy stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping across the entire room. After a few seconds of pause, she announced in a strong voice, "We encountered the Crystal Dragon Animus in the Kingdom of Stella and completely defeated it at its peak, successfully completing the S-rank quest and receiving our reward!"

"By the way, Chesgo and his team didn't make a move!"

The information contained in those two short sentences exploded like a bomb in the guild, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.

In an instant, the entire guild fell into a deathly silence.

"Hey, seriously? You guys encountered a dragon and defeated it without Chess even lifting a finger?" Macao almost dropped his wine glass.

The word "dragon" carries far too much weight in the magical world.

During the battle to conquer the gates of the underworld, he had already directly experienced from the moon dragon Selene just how terrifying this creature was.

Even if the so-called Crystal Dragon's oppressive aura wasn't as strong as the Moon God Dragon's, could Lucy's team really handle it on their own?

"Of course, don't underestimate the bond between us."

Kana sat down opposite him and, without any hesitation, picked up the barrel of liquor on the table and took a big gulp.

"Tell me quickly, how did you manage to do that?!" Wakaba, forgetting even his cigarette, hurriedly came over to ask.

The trio of alcoholics reunited.

Meanwhile, the rest of Lucy's team were surrounded by their friends who had regained their senses.

Some were eager to know the details, some inquired whether they were injured, and others immediately praised them for being so amazing.

He truly is a man.

The whole scene instantly became incredibly lively.

Lucy squeezed through the gaps in the crowd with difficulty, looked around, and sighed with disappointment.

Although he was quite satisfied with his companions' shocked reaction, the scene he was most looking forward to did not occur; Natsu and Happy were not in the guild at the time.

"Didn't you see through my act? Why are you still looking so sullen?" Chase teased with a smile.

"I guess it's because he couldn't show off in front of the person he most wanted to see," Mira chimed in.

"Wow, I, Lucy, had no intention of showing off to Natsu!" Lucy quickly waved her hands in protest.

"Oh, so that means Natsu is the person you most want to see, isn't that right~" Mira instantly revealed a smug smile.

"No, no, that's not it!!" Lucy exclaimed even more anxiously.

Being with Sister Mila is truly nerve-wracking; I get tricked every day, and each one is completely different!

"It's okay, Lucy. There's nothing shameful about bravely expressing your true feelings. Don't feel ashamed about it."

Erza gently patted her shoulder, her beautiful eyes gleaming with eager anticipation. "So, this time, let me be your wingman!"

When she first realized that Chase liked her, she felt confused because of her own situation and Mira's presence, and fell into extreme internal conflict. She even had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to withdraw and let the two of them be together.

It was Lucy's encouragement (and persuasion) that gave her the courage to take that crucial step and achieve her current happiness.

Fortune.

Therefore, Erza felt it was her turn to help Lucy find a boyfriend, and she was full of enthusiasm for it!

"That sounds familiar, didn't Vadashi tell you that before?!" Lucy retorted.

"What a blockhead! You've already brought the photos back, and you're still trying to argue!" Chase tapped her on the head.

"You deadbeat, you have the nerve to talk back to me? If you were more proactive, Vadashi wouldn't have had to go to so much trouble to set you up with Erza!"

"Sigh, brother, my situation is a little different from yours; I have to consider more things," Chase said earnestly.

Although he wasn't oblivious enough to miss Erza's feelings, at the time he was only focused on becoming stronger, and most of his attention was on external threats like Acnologia the Black Dragon and the Five Divine Dragons. He lacked confidence in protecting the person he wanted to protect.

"Then there are things that the Wadashi also needs to figure out," Lucy retorted.

She couldn't deny that she had feelings for Natsu that were different from those for her other guildmates, but to be honest, she still didn't know whether it was the bond between comrades or the affection between lovers.

More importantly, does Natsu feel the same way?

The inner monologue in the book of END is so inconsistent with the scene of me asking myself to dig a hole late at night!

"What, besides Natsu, you have someone else you like? That makes things a bit tricky." Chess frowned.

"Wow, Dashi isn't as womanizing and lecherous as Chesgo!" Lucy's forehead swelled with a hashtag.

Just then, a dazzling holy light suddenly entered their field of vision.

"I heard everything from Kana and the others. Lucy is pretty amazing; she can even summon the Celestial Spirit King."

Even without hearing the voice, one could tell the person's identity just by looking at that holy light: Fairy Tail's number one pervert—Naked Gray.

"Grey, the clothes," Mira reminded him.

"What?! When?!"

Gray was shocked. His composure vanished instantly, and he frantically searched for his clothes that had "inexplicably" disappeared.

Chase glanced at the female pervert clutching her clothes and inhaling them violently in the corner of the guild, sighed helplessly, grabbed a tablecloth to cover the holy light emanating from Gray, and then asked, "So you heard how powerful that idiot Lucy is and want to fight her?"

He sensed a faint fighting spirit in Gray.

"Huh?" Lucy, who was just about to show off, instinctively crossed her arms in a defensive stance.

"Being able to defeat a dragon is indeed impressive, but the challenge I want to take on isn't Lucy, it's you!"

With words brimming with confidence, Gray strode forward, his footsteps creating intricate ice magic circles on the wooden floor. "With the power of the Ice Demon God that I've just mastered!"

A chilling aura emanated from the magic circle, condensing into a layer of black and purple frost on the floor surface.

The temperature in the entire guild plummeted, and Macao and the others stopped their discussion and looked over.

"Oh? Looks like you haven't just been doing performance art in the guild these past few days." Chase instantly saw through the true nature of the black and purple frost beneath his feet.

It is neither the Ice God-Slaying Magic learned from Hades' magic library, nor the Ice Demon-Slaying Magic inherited from Silver, but a completely new magic obtained by perfectly combining the two through Ice-Shaping Magic!

It's clear from Natsu's battle with Zankro on Tenrou Island that the compatibility of annihilation magic of the same attribute isn't actually as high as one might imagine.

The reason Gray was able to find the perfect blend in such a short time was mostly due to the presence of Silver or even Uru, but that was not important to Chase.

Incidentally, in order to atone for his past sins, Silver has left Fairy Tail and, under the supervision of the Fairy Council, travels to various parts of the continent to deal with various demonic disturbances.

"It's rare that you have this kind of courage, so let's give it a try—"

boom! !

Before Chess could finish speaking, the guild door was kicked open, revealing three figures.

It is Nazhabi, whom someone has been longing for, and Bahamut, the Pluto dragon who hangs out with them.

Influenced by the conversation just now, Lucy's heart inexplicably raced the moment her eyes met Natsu's, and her face turned bright red at a visible speed.

"Natsu, Natsu, Vadashi—"

"Haha, you're back after all! Hey, Chase, hurry up and duel with me, let me show you the power of the Five Dragons I just mastered!!"

In addition to the magic powers of the Fire Dragon King Ignir and the Destroyer Dragon Gandora that I already possessed, there is also the black flame of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, the wind flame of the Thousand-Year Dragon, and the dark flame of the Hades Dragon!

"Could the person he really likes be Chesgo? An unexpected rival?!"

A dazzling burst of flames exploded, and the terrifying heat dissipated the extremely cold environment that Gray had created, while also completely covering up Lucy's sharp remark.

Completely oblivious to the fact that Natsu was focused solely on the battle, he instantly boosted his magic to its maximum, clenched his right fist, and leaped forward, aiming straight for Chess.

A wave of heat hit him, but Chase stood motionless: "The power of five dragons, huh? Interesting."

With his own dragons in his cards, Natsu might be able to recreate the Seven Dragons form that defeated Acnologia in the original story, or even be stronger!

However, we're still far from that point.

Natsu's fist, enveloped in five-colored flames, rapidly enlarged in his pupils. Just as he was about to swing it down, he slowly released his arms from his chest.

Bang~!

A muffled sound rang out, and the flames dissipated.

One second Natsu was intimidating, the next he was sound asleep, his eyes rolled back and embedded in the guild's ceiling.

"Sigh, I've only been gone for two days, and they all think they're all grown up."

Chase clapped the remaining sparks off his hands, turned slightly to the side, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Gray. Now it's your turn—"

Um?"

Following his slightly puzzled gaze, one could see that the area where Gray had just stood was completely empty, with not a trace of the "Challenger" in sight.

"Hehe, I can hear the noise from afar. It's quite a noisy guild."

Then, two more people walked in from outside the guild: Gajeel and Rili, carrying their bags.

"Alright! I accept your challenge!"

A demonic crimson glint flashed in Chase's eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Wait, wait a minute, a challenge? What challenge? Pfft!!!"
