My two-dimensional resident

"Makarov, what exactly is going on?"

"Is she really a member of the Devil's Heart?"

Only a few hot-tempered guild leaders confronted Makarov directly; most guild leaders remained silent, waiting to see how things would develop.

However, one guild leader had a different opinion. When he heard that Ultear was a member of the Dark Guild, a look of heartache for Ultear appeared on his greasy face. He clenched his fists and pressed them against his chest, crying as he spoke.

"What? Such a beautiful girl is actually a member of the Devil's Heart? You must have suffered a lot. Join our Blue Pegasus!"

"..."

Bob, the guild leader of the Azure Pegasus Guild, made an outrageous statement that silenced everyone in the hall.

After a moment of silence, the chairpersons began to argue again. Some continued to question Makarov, while others felt that Bob was too cunning and criticized him from a moral high ground...

"Forget it, this is too much of a waste of time. From now on, I will be in charge of this guild meeting. If anyone is unhappy, they can try to leave."

Listening to these old people ramble on about this and that, discussing both useful and useless topics, the person concerned for Kikyo and the other two spoke impatiently.

His face was as cold as a glacier in winter, and a powerful aura of domineering power radiated from him, impacting the consciousness of the group of guild leaders.

Who are you?

"Makarov?!"

Upon hearing that Lin Tian wanted to take control of their meeting, several hot-tempered members of the association stood up in dissatisfaction and looked at Lin Tian and his group.

Another small group looked at Lin Tian, ​​preparing to teach this arrogant and boastful young man a lesson. The remaining group turned their attention to Makarov, wanting to understand why he had brought a stranger to the meeting.

"As expected, you are from the Dark Guild. Makarov, you are too audacious. How dare you openly bring someone from the Dark Guild to our meeting."

Joseph was overjoyed to hear Lin Tian's arrogant words. This was a golden opportunity for him to bring down Makarov and drive Fairy Tail out of the Kingdom of Fiore. How could he miss this moment?

Compared to the entire continent of Ishgar, the Kingdom of Fiore is still too small a pie. If the Phantom Lords want to expand, they must either eliminate the Fairy Tail guild in the same kingdom or drive them out of the Kingdom of Fiore.

Although the spiritual power that Lin Tian had just unleashed made him somewhat uneasy, Joseph was one of the Ten Holy Mages of the Ishgar Continent, how could he possibly fear a mere brat?

"Quiet down, everyone! This Ultear girl is indeed a member of the Demon Heart, and even a core member, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory."

But that all happened half a month ago. She has now become Lin Tian's servant, and the reason is... that Lin Tian and his partner Bardock defeated the Demon's Heart.

Besides the guild leader Hades and two other members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory who escaped, and Ultear who was captured by Lin Tian, ​​the remaining four members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory are all dead.

Lin Tian's words just now went a bit too far. His main concern is that his younger sister has gone missing, and he's deeply worried about her. He's come here to see everyone mainly to ask for your help in finding her.

Makarov continued to ignore Joseph's slander against him, then turned to Lin Tian and gestured for him not to act rashly.

Amidst the accusations and noise, he jumped onto the table as soon as he sat down, and patiently explained Lin Tian and Ultear's identities to the guild leader who looked annoyed.

"What? They actually defeated the Demon Guild at such a young age?"

"Impossible! I didn't sense any powerful magic from him. Is Makarov lying to us?"

“Makarov isn’t that kind of person. It’s better to ask more questions about this kind of thing.”

"..."

Joseph watched as these guild members, based on Makarov's explanation, actually began to believe that nonsense. He was now furious and on the verge of exploding.

A person whose magic power has not reached the level of a Wizard of Ten, plus another person who has no magic power at all, can defeat the Heart of the Devil, one of the three giants of the Dark Guild.

Only someone with a screw loose would believe that!

boom!

"Enough! It's clearly Makarov who colluded with the Heart of the Devil. How could you believe his lies?"

Joseph slammed his fist on the table again, angrily berating these brainless guild leaders. If they wanted to protect Makarov, they should just say so; stop putting on airs.

Seeing Joseph's anger, the guild leaders at the long table stopped their discussion and awaited the duel between Makarov and Joseph.

The guild leaders' routine meeting was originally a place for these guild leaders to gossip, chat, and boast. Seeing the two most powerful guild leaders in the Kingdom of Fiore arguing, this was just the right opportunity for them to have some juicy gossip.

"President Makarov, please understand my next actions."

Just as Makarov was about to argue with Joseph, Lin Tian reached out and placed his hand on Makarov's shoulder, apologizing in advance.

"Lin Tian, ​​you?"

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Makarov knew things were about to go wrong. He turned around to stop Lin Tian, ​​only to find that Lin Tian, ​​who had been standing behind him, had disappeared.

When he saw Lin Tian again, he was already behind Joseph.

But what if I don't receive it?

Chapter 295 Instant Kill of the Ten Saints

"you dare!"

As a Saint-level mage and one of the ten strongest people on the continent of Ishgar, Joseph immediately turned around and glared angrily at this audacious and ignorant young man the moment Lin Tian appeared behind him.

"You talk too much. You're bothering me!"

Lin Tian stared at Joseph with a deathly still gaze. The hall was utterly silent. All eyes were on Lin Tian.

Under Joseph's furious gaze, and under the incredulous and amused stares of all the guild leaders, countless fiery ropes burst forth from Lin Tian's body, transforming into venomous snakes that rushed towards Joseph's body.

For Joseph, the worst-case scenario occurred: the two were too close together, and he was a traditional magician with low physical strength.

He tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late.

Seeing that the opponent's fire snakes had him bound, he quickly activated the magic power within his body, wanting to use the enormous magic power to shatter these fire snakes, but this played right into Lin Tian's plan.

The moment the dark magic within him was released, the fire snakes coiled around his body, like hungry demons that had been starving for a month, frantically lunged at his magic.

Upon seeing this, Joseph was puzzled as to why the fire serpents were so strange. However, as the president of the Mage Guild, he was experienced in combat and knew that he could not let his magic touch these fire serpents. So he immediately controlled his magic and tried to pull them back into his body.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Some of the fire serpents had already come into contact with his magic. In his shock and disbelief, he turned into a ball of fire and burst into flames.

Flame-Flame Fruit, ignite magic!

Joseph is a Tenth-Rank Mage with immense magical power. However, the dark magic he is proficient in does not possess any special rules or power.

Furthermore, since he himself is not a physically powerful mage, when facing a fire serpent with igniting energy, he is like a large energy source waiting to be burned.

If Joseph were to release all the magic within him at this moment, causing a magical explosion that creates a magical vacuum between him and the fire serpent, it might save his life.

Unfortunately, Joseph was too cautious and afraid of losing his life, and dared not take a gamble. This became the final straw that broke his back.

After sensing that the flames had completely disappeared, Lin Tian waved his arm and began to shrink the fireball enveloping Joseph until only a clump of ashes remained and fell to the ground.

Instantly killing a Saint Ten Mage is no easy task. Lin Tian felt that he had used up 80% of his strength, so he took out an apple to replenish his power.

From the moment Joseph was ambushed by Lin Tian until he was completely engulfed by flames, the time was short, but for these guild leaders, there was still a chance to rescue Joseph.

Intriguingly, they all remained silent, intently watching Lin Tian and his flames, pondering what kind of ability this mysterious mage was using.

Why was it possible to prevent Joseph, who held the title of one of the Ten Saints, from even having a chance to resist...?

As Lin Tian slowly chewed the apple in his mouth, he turned his gaze to the guild leaders present.

Lin Tian had already guessed their presence when he ambushed Joseph. As the villainous boss of Fairy Tail, Joseph, the Phantom Lord, was a selfish and ruthless individual who had committed countless evil deeds.

His relationship with other guild leaders was very delicate, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a villain.

Since the guild's inception, its members, including the Ghost Dominator, have frequently clashed with members of other guilds while carrying out missions.

If he hadn't been so clever as to suppress all the bad things his guild members had done and hadn't gotten his guild into the Magic Council, then his guild would definitely have been a dark guild.

Therefore, Lin Tian believed that no one would interfere when he ambushed Joseph.

Furthermore, in a future episode of the Fairy Tail anime, Phantom Lord actually dared to attack the Fairy Tail guild, injuring Erza.

Although such a thing has never happened in this world, Lin Tian couldn't care less, as he was already upset about the disappearance of Erza and the other two.

Seeing the person who hurt his sister in the Fairy Tail anime now reignites the anger he felt when watching the anime back then.

So... regardless of whether the anime's plot will happen in this world, Joseph must die in Lin Tian's heart.

"I apologize for startling everyone. As an apology, I'll give these apples to you as compensation for my rudeness."

Seeing the guild leaders staring at him with shocked, puzzled, amused, and wary looks, Lin Tian forcibly controlled his expression and forced an apologetic smile.

Then he waved his arm, and apples flew to all the guild leaders.

He has already demonstrated that he has the ability to sit here, but in order to get these guild leaders to willingly help him find Erza and the others, he needs to show them his sincerity.

"Lin Tian, ​​if you do this... the Magic Council will come after you."

As the apple that floated in front of him emanated immense magic, Makarov sighed, slumped weakly into his chair, and looked at Lin Tian with a complicated expression.

He knew that Lin Tian was focused on finding Erza and didn't want Joseph to waste his time, but his actions were too extreme.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Makarov. I hope you can understand how I feel right now."

Lin Tian bowed his head to Makarov in apology, and after everyone had become curious about the apple, he continued.

"My sister Erza, my lover Kikyo, and one of my companions have gone missing in the sea southeast of the Kingdom of Fiore. I implore you guild leaders to have your guild members help me find them. As a reward, I will pay you 100 apples."

When Lin Tian arrived in the Fairy Tail world this time, he was in a hurry and only brought a bunch of apples and cherries with him. He didn't bring Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm with him, so he can only offer apples as payment now.

The atmosphere in the hall became eerie, eerily quiet.

These club presidents were all shrewd individuals. When Lin Tian distributed the apples to them, they could tell that this apple was no ordinary apple and contained powerful magic.

They were genuinely tempted when they heard this mysterious mage, who could instantly kill Joseph, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, asking them to help find his family in exchange for 100 apples.

But... he just killed the guild master of a guild under the Magic Council. A guild master of the rank of a Tenth-level mage was killed just like that.

The Magic Council cannot stand idly by. If they put away the apple in front of them and agree to help Lin Tian find his family, they are going against the Magic Council.

But 100 apples were just too tempting; they needed someone to take the lead. As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," and once the first person agreed to help Lin Tian, ​​the other presidents would follow suit.

"Erza...isn't that the little girl Makarov mentioned to me? Makarov, your guild member went missing, and instead of looking for her yourself, you had to make her brother seek help..."
