[Generated by fusing Dragon Slayer Magic]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the fusion magic 'Dragon King - Holy Radiance']

A massive flow of information instantly flooded Hope's mind, presenting the essence, form, and abilities of this new magic with crystal clarity.

The "Dragon King - Holy Radiance," formed by fusing three types of Dragon Slayer Magic, can perfectly utilize the characteristics of the fused materials, resulting in even greater power.

At the same time, Dragon King magic can be based on 'iron' to construct powerful magical weapons and armor with fire and holy attributes.

Compared to Dragon Slayer Magic, the biggest advantage of Dragon King Magic is that while its power is increased, its magic consumption is greatly reduced, which is great news for Hope, whose magic power limit is low.

Hope suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light burst forth from his body.

With a clenched fist, a triple-layered magic circle appeared around his right hand, its outer ring silver-gray, its inner ring crimson, and its core pure white. As he wished, it formed a dragon spear wreathed in platinum-gold flames.

Looking down at the magnificent weapon formed from magic and feeling the power contained within it, Hope was deeply shocked.

"This is... the power after fusion?"

"This is wonderful."

"!"

"Hehe...hehehe...hehehehehehahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Overwhelmed with inexplicable confidence, Hope dismissed the dragon spear, covered his face with his hands, and grinned wildly, finally bursting into maniacal laughter.

Suddenly, he noticed a gaze fixed on him. He turned around and saw that it was Kana, who had appeared out of nowhere!

"Kana! You haven't come home?"

"No, how much did you see?"

Kana, holding an empty wine bottle, couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Hope's embarrassed expression, which he was trying hard to hide. "I was planning to sneak in some wine tonight while the guild warehouse is open, but I ended up witnessing someone's chuunibyou episode the whole time."

"With such power, who can stand against me?"

"Oh my, what cheesy lines! I never imagined that Hope, who seems so serious, is actually such a repressed pervert!"

Oh no, she really saw it!

Hope was filled with regret; she shouldn't have acted that way.

Kana found it extremely amusing to watch Hope's expressions change three times in a second. She shook the empty bottle in her hand and said, "Hey, Hope, do you think my bottle will refill itself?"

Hope's lips twitched; this woman was actually trying to take advantage of him.

Then don't blame me for being impolite!

So, steeling himself, he sheepishly went to fetch the wine for Kana...

.......

the next day.

Kana woke up on a bench in the temporary hall.

"Ouch~ My head hurts so much."

"How much did I drink last night?"

Looking at the pile of empty bottles on the ground, as tall as two people, Kana was filled with deep confusion. She had come to the guild to steal some wine last night, and then something seemed to have happened.

My head hurts so much, I can't remember...

Did I drink too much and black out?

Just as Cana was trying to recall, Erza rushed into the temporary hall, "Guild Master! Something terrible has happened! Lucy has been kidnapped by a Phantom Lord mage!"

"what!"

Makarov, who was brooding and drinking alone in the corner, was taken aback. Then he became extremely angry, his veins bulging. "Damn Phantom Lord, do you really think we Fairy Tail have no temper?!"

Makarov's words instantly ignited everyone's emotions.

The guild was destroyed, and the Shadow Gear Squad was attacked again last night. Everyone was already impatient. If it weren't for Makarov's attitude, they would have secretly stormed the Ghost Headquarters.

Lucy's kidnapping has undoubtedly broken everyone's last bit of patience.

"If it were just sabotage on our guild, I could tolerate it. But now they're actually targeting the guild's own members... well, let's settle all scores, old and new."

Makarov leaped onto the table and shouted to the crowd, "I hereby declare war on the Phantom Lords! Avenge our families!"

The members, who had been itching to fight for a long time, roared and charged out of the guild upon hearing this, heading to Oak City, where the Spectre headquarters was located, to rescue Lucy and also to smash the Spectre Dominator.

Soon, only Makarov and Erza remained in the guild.

Seeing that only the two of them remained, Makarov's anger vanished instantly, and he looked at Erza with a grin, "Wasn't my acting superb? Those kids believed me without even asking for details. We spent ages making up excuses, but they were all useless."

Erza simply nodded but didn't reply. She suspected that Makarov wasn't acting, but rather that he was genuinely expressing his feelings.

"By the way, President, have you seen Mirajane?"

"Huh? Isn't she here?"

After saying that, Makarov suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Mirajane since coming to the guild today.

If Mirajane is unable to come to the guild due to other commitments, she will definitely inform us in advance or have Elfman relay a message; she will never leave no information at all.

Could it be...?

Makarov suppressed his bad premonition, but the guild members had already set off for the Phantom Lord headquarters. He took a deep breath and knew he had to deal with the Phantom Lord first, and then focus all his efforts on finding Mirajane.

Chapter 68 The Ghost Ruler

Orcs, the headquarters of the Spectres.

"Haha, have you heard?"

"The fairy's tail is completely destroyed."

"As expected of Gajeel, he hasn't returned yet?"

"He must not have had enough yet. Doesn't that guy love to hear the screams of the weak?"

The Phantom Lord mage was in high spirits.

Under the influence of alcohol and dice, they talked about everything from Fairy Tail being destroyed to the idiotic members of the Magic Council, and finally compared who received a higher reward by threatening their clients.

Gambling, defaming members of parliament, threatening and extorting clients...

No matter how you look at it, the style of the Phantom Lord mages doesn't seem like what a proper guild should be like; rather, it's closer to the style of a dark guild.

But over the years, the Magic Council has turned a blind eye to them, and the reason is naturally the existence of Joseph, the guild master of Phantom Lord.

Joseph is one of the "Ten Wizard Saints," and taking action against him would have too much impact. Moreover, the title of "Ten Wizard Saints" was also granted to Joseph by the Council. If they were to take action against him, wouldn't the Council be contradicting itself?

It was the council’s inaction that allowed the Phantom Lords to become increasingly lawless.

Outside the Phantom Lords headquarters, Hope looked at the scene inside and couldn't help but compare it in his mind to Fairy Tail. Sure enough, his own guild was better.

A weasel-faced ghost mage saw Hope, stepped out, and sized him up with hostile eyes, as well as the blonde girl behind him whose hands were bound.

"Hey, who are you people?"

"Could it be that you intend to sell this little wench to me?"

You're dreaming! Don't you even look in the mirror?

Hope thought to himself that he was complaining, but on the surface he put on a fawning smile. "I am Lord Thor's subordinate. This blonde woman is the target of an important commission for the guild. She just happened to be in my hands, so I sent her over immediately."

Upon hearing that she was one of Thor's people, the mage immediately turned his gaze away from Lucy. He dared not offend the vengeful "Phantom of the Four Elements Earth".

"Since you're Lord Thor's subordinate, then we're brothers. Come with me."

The mage didn't suspect Hope's identity at all, and led him into the guild, to the cell on the side of the guild hall, where he locked Lucy up.

"Hey bro, let's go get some drinks."

"Haha, I won't go. If this woman suffers any loss, not only Lord Saul, but even President Joseph will probably come and skin me alive."

Upon hearing how serious Hope's words were, the mage immediately stopped asking questions and turned back to the card table.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Lucy, who had been silent until now, whispered to Hope outside the cell, "This place is too chaotic. It feels like a bandit's den."

"No, bandits don't earn as much as these people."

Hope clearly remembered that when he passed by earlier, a ghost mage was boasting about extorting clients and receiving three times the reward.

This is much faster than stealing.

Fairy Tail loses money, while Phantom Lord is incredibly ruthless.

Fairy Tail doesn't open any branch guilds, but Phantom Troupe opens branch guilds in every town in the Kingdom of Fiore except Magnolia.

It really does the opposite of Fairy Tail in every way.

“Lucy, I’ve added ‘Vulnerability’ to the ropes binding your hands. If you encounter any danger, don’t hesitate to act.”

Listening to Hope's instructions, Lucy nodded, then subconsciously glanced at her empty belt, where a string of Protoss keys had actually been made "invisible".

Just as Hope and Lucy were whispering to each other, a voice came from behind them.

"Oh my, isn't this my best subordinate, Hope?"

It was Thor, the Spectre Earth of the Four Elements, who was wearing a monocle and sporting a small mustache.

The man, who was dressed in a very gentlemanly manner, looked at Hope with great appreciation. "So you've captured Miss Lucy Heartfilia. No wonder Lady Juvia and I couldn't find her."

"Hope, you're truly a great hero to me!"

"Lord Thor, if I had known you would personally go to capture Miss Lucy, how could I have stolen your credit..."

Hope's flattering manner pleased Thor greatly, and he patted Hope's shoulder generously, "I should be thanking you. If you hadn't kidnapped Miss Lucy, how would Lady Juvia and I have encountered another big fish?"

A big fish? Who did they catch?

As Hope was wondering, a woman with long, curly blue hair, blue eyes, dressed in blue clothes, and carrying an umbrella walked into the prison corridor.

This person is none other than "Lord Juvia" mentioned by Thor, and is a water elemental among the four elements of the Spectres.

Juvia is stronger than Thor, so although they are both executives of the same mage guild, Thor still has to address her as "sir" in the Phantom Lords, where strength is paramount.

Hope noticed that a huge water sphere was following behind Jubia.

"Come, come, Hope, you must recognize this big fish."
