Fairy Tail Space Mage

Joseph made his demands, which at first glance seemed reasonable.

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Lucy, who was standing next to Erza. Upon hearing the words "big conglomerate" and "running away from home," Lucy's face immediately turned pale.

The guild members weren't stupid; seeing Lucy's reaction, they immediately understood.

"The blonde princess, she really is a princess!"

"So she really is a rich young lady? This is the first time I've ever seen a real rich young lady. I never expected that our guild would have a mage of this type!"

"Yes! That's great!"

"Joining this guild is fantastic!"

.......

Although everyone was discussing it, contrary to Lucy's expectations, no one felt there was anything wrong with her hiding her identity.

No one blamed her: it was probably because of her that Cana was attacked and Levy was kidnapped.

No one questioned her motives for joining the guild simply because she was a rich heiress.

Of course, no one suggested exchanging her for Levy.

Everyone was just excited because the guild had a rare young lady mage hidden away.

This is "Fairy Tail". They are always noisy and troublesome, and they are also carefree and even a little silly... In "Fairy Tail", from the guild master to the unknown ordinary mages, everyone is like a child who never grows up, but they are very cute!

Lucy couldn't help but clench her fists and place them against her chest, closest to her heart, as if she wanted to remember this warm feeling that melted her whole heart forever.

Elsa seemed to understand her feelings and, unusually, patted her shoulder very gently.

……

"Joseph! Do you really think that as a father, I would use my own child as a bargaining chip to exchange for something else? Even if it were another of my own children! Even if I were willing, do you think my other child, Levy, would agree to that?"

"Don't underestimate the fairy's tail!"

"We will get Levy back, and we will teach you a lesson!"

"If you dare to hurt Levy, we will make you pay a hundredfold!"

Joseph's suggestion was like stirring up a fairy's den. Not only did it not affect the internal relations of "Fairy Tail" at all, it also completely aroused everyone's fighting spirit!

Especially the new members who had only recently joined the guild seemed to be realizing the difference in Fairy Tail at this moment. Each of them was excited, though they didn't quite understand why they were so happy; in short, they felt it was wonderful to be in such a guild!

"Heh! What a strange guild!" Even Gajeel, who was still holding Levy hostage, was a little surprised by the fairies' reaction.

The four elements beside him reacted differently. The wind element was sad (often shedding tears over trivial matters), the water element was envious, the earth element was disdainful, and the fire element found it amusing.

"Hmph! You don't understand at all! I told you long ago, even if you kidnap me, it won't work! Fairy Tail is much stronger than you think, and that's not just about combat power!" Levy said with a proud look.

"They don't care about your safety, and you're still acting like this... Guild Master, forget it, let's not play along with them anymore. Let's just start!" Gajeel had no interest in indulging Joseph's perverse humor. He didn't even ask Joseph's permission before picking up Levy from his hand and throwing her at Elsa.

Joseph, of course, had no intention of actually playing any "hostage exchange" game. He simply wanted to see Fairy Tail, because of his words, become suspicious of Lucy, blame her, and ultimately sell her off. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed!

“Damn fairies…that’s why I’ve always hated you! Thor!” Joseph cursed fiercely before shouting at the earth elemental Thor.

"Is it finally time to make a move...? Well then, let Gentleman Sol entertain you with this move... [Dance of the Sand]!"

As Thor spoke, he walked towards the second-floor railing with exaggerated, elegant steps. At the same time, behind the fairies, another identical Thor appeared!

Thor couldn't be a twin, so one of them must be some kind of clone!

In general, the one that appears in front of everyone at this time will definitely be fake.

However, Thor used Earth Release to appear directly behind them. By the time they turned around and noticed what was behind them, it was already too late!

Thor's magic has been activated!

Suddenly, a violent sandstorm erupted from behind the fairies. Although it did not cause any damage, it was enough to temporarily blind them!

"Everyone, use [Ring Magic] once, Shadow Binding!" Then, Rabbit Maru's voice came from the second floor. Everyone who was covering their mouths and noses and closing their eyes to prevent sand from getting in felt a jolt in their hearts!

Every mage knows that [Ring Magic] is the most convenient and practical type of magic. Aside from its relatively high price and relatively weak power, it has no drawbacks.

However, if the cost is the complete destruction of the [ring magic], it is even possible to unleash a powerful spell several times stronger!

Right now, the mages of the "Phantom Lord" are doing just that. And it seems there's more than one!

If they succeed, within minutes everyone in the guild will be frozen in place, completely at their mercy...

"Ah! Joseph, don't even think about it! As long as I'm alive, no one will be able to harm my child!" Makarov unleashed the full power of [Gigantification], and the giant's form appeared, instantly collapsing the roof of the entire "Ghost" guild!

Although everyone in the guild was also affected, it's better than everyone being hit by [Shadow Binding]!

“I knew you would do this, Makarov!” Joseph’s mental entity, seeing this, immediately revealed a smug smile.

“Since you’ve come so close, I won’t stand on ceremony… I didn’t want to do this either… This is truly heartbreaking… [Void Annihilation]!” Aria, the leader of the four elements, simply clasped her hands together in front of Makarov.

Then, Makarov's gigantic form instantly dissipated. Not only that, but for some unknown reason, he was completely unable to move, his body stiffening as he plummeted from the sky.

"President!"

Elsa, who had been watching the guild leader closely and was the first to recover from the sandstorm, immediately reached out and caught the guild leader!

"Magic, my...magic!"

Makarov spoke with difficulty in Elsa's arms.

Even though he didn't say it, everyone could feel that the enormous magical power that the president once possessed, like a bottomless abyss, was now almost completely depleted!

"What did you do to the president?!"

"asshole!"

Natsu and Gray were furious and were about to rush forward.

"Assistant, retreat! Natsu, Gray, use magic to cover everyone, retreat!" Erza suddenly shouted.

"Elsa!!"

"Shut up! I said, retreat! Everyone retreat, execute the order!"

Erza completely ignored Natsu and Gray's questions, simply overwhelming them with a roar. She hurled the [Heavenly Wheel: Sword of Cycles] at the four elements without considering the consequences, then turned and left, carrying the guild master.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy..."

Before Thor could finish speaking, the little pink figure flying towards him had already burned him to a crisp with a mouthful of flame (she had accidentally swallowed sand and was now furious). Elsa, even more savage, then rammed into the short "gentleman" with her body, sending him flying into some unknown corner of the sky!

Seeing even Little Pink take action, despite their reluctance, Natsu and Gray exchanged a glance. One used fire, the other ice, and in an instant, they created a massive amount of steam and mist!

Then, taking this opportunity, everyone began to evacuate.

Since the true form of Phantom Lord wasn't there, and Gajeel and the four elementals couldn't stop Natsu and the others, the fairies managed to escape successfully after everyone was injured and paid a price.

Naturally, morale plummeted. With the president down, Fairy Tail seemed to be facing a crisis.

Chapter 189: Entrusted with an important task?

"Tch, those guys got away!"

Rabbit Maru felt a little unsatisfied; he wanted to play with Fairy Tail's "Fire Dragon" more. Unexpectedly, they retreated so decisively.

"Letting them go is so we can clean them up all at once later... Come on, the guild leader is waiting for you... Without you four elements, that thing can't move."

Gajeel was also disappointed; he was quite interested in the "Fire Dragon." Meanwhile, there was Elfman, the "Fairy Queen," and the "Demon"—he had too many opponents he was interested in. Unfortunately…

“That’s right… I never expected the guild leader to be hiding something like that. I’ve heard a rumor that our guild and Fairy Tail have been rivals for many years. It seems the feud between the two guilds started with the founders. It seems it’s true.”

Usagi-maru seems to talk a lot. There's no way around it; of the four elements, the other three can't communicate normally. While Gajeel isn't much better, at least he can still chat.

"Who would care about that kind of thing..." Gajeel had no interest whatsoever.

“I think Fairy Tail is doomed. They’re not as strong as the rumors say. They fell into the trap so easily…” But Usamaru didn’t care about Gajeel’s reaction and just talked to himself.

"Fairy Tail isn't that simple, nor will it be destroyed so easily. A fierce battle is likely ahead. You'd better be prepared."

Gajeel thought of the person he had met the night before, and he still couldn't forget the sense of danger he felt when the other person was about to swing his sword.

"Of course I know! Don't worry, I won't lose to those Fairy Tail guys! By the way, Thor was knocked away just now, is he alright?"

"The wind element has already gone to find him."

"It's a real shame your little brother didn't make it back from his mission. I think his name is Roger Cheney. Let me tell you, I heard a rumor that Roger is also a Dragon Slayer Mage, a Shadow Dragon Slayer Mage..." Rabbit Maru whispered mysteriously in Gajeel's ear.

"Where did you hear all these rumors from?!" Gajeel finally lost his patience.

"Women? The female mages in the guild... who doesn't know that I'm the number one handsome guy in 'Phantom'? Handsome guys are always surrounded by women!" Tutu Maru flicked his bangs and struck a cool pose holding a sword.

Gajeel had to admit that when Usagi-maru shut his mouth and stopped grinning, he was actually quite handsome. But the way he held his sword was nowhere near as good as the guy from last night.

That person wielded the knife with only one hand, yet it felt as if he could cleave the heavens and earth. And this person before them… the word "incongruous" is most fitting here.

……

Fairy Tail's mission got off to a bad start; even the guild master was ambushed. Sora received the news immediately. After all, Erza possessed a portable magical communication device.

"Don't worry, bring the guild leader back with you. I anticipated what kind of situation you would encounter. The guild leader will be fine." After listening to Elsa's report, Kong Ting simply said this calmly.

When Erza heard Sora's words, a mix of emotions—surprise, doubt, relief, and self-reproach—flowed through her heart. In the end, she simply gave Sora a soft "hmm."

Kong found it a little strange; Elsa's "hmm" sounded rather soft.

Without giving it much thought, he nodded and hung up the call.

"Kong, is the president really alright?" Mira and the others were right next to her, so they naturally heard Elsa's report as well.

“Aria’s magic only causes other people’s magic to dissipate into the atmosphere; it cannot take away their magic or make them disappear into thin air. I have already had Mystogan secretly follow the guild master. If such a situation occurs, we will collect the guild master’s magic again. Mystogan just sent a secret message that the process of collecting magic is going smoothly.”

Kong gave a simple explanation.

"Since you knew the other party possessed such magic, why didn't you warn Makarov? He's already old and can't withstand any more abuse." The one who asked this was Ms. Polyusica, who was frowning.

“I’m sorry… the spell prepared by ‘Phantom’ has been kept very secret. I only just found out what kind of spell it is. Before that, all I could do was consider the worst-case scenario,” Sora explained to Polyusica.

"Ah."

Upon hearing Sora's explanation, Polyusika nodded and said nothing more. She had only lost her temper because she was worried about Makarov. Now, she had calmed down.

But then someone else unexpectedly interrupted.

"Sora... What happened to the guild master?... What exactly happened? Did 'Phantom' do something to the guild master?"

After being unconscious all night, Kana has finally woken up.

……

When everyone returned to the guild, Sora and Mira greeted them.
