"Hmph." Seeing Joseph unleash his magic, Li Xiaoxi let out a cold snort. Suddenly, a massive amount of white magic emanated from her body, and everyone felt the pressure on them vanish without a trace. Li Xiaoxi's white magic and Joseph's purple magic canceled each other out and collided, even causing space to distort and overlap at the point where the white and purple met. A series of sounds, like something being torn apart, came from within, but soon Li Xiaoxi's white magic suppressed Joseph's magic.
"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the power of the Ten Wizard Saints?"
"She's too strong. No wonder she's Xiao hope."
Everyone stared in disbelief at the white magic that had spread across half the sky and the magic that had been suppressed to a very small purple.
"Stop with your little tricks, Joseph. You should know you can't win against me like this. If you continue, you'll only be suppressed by my magic." Li Xiaoxi didn't linger and charged directly towards Joseph's location. "Break!"
Boom! The wall shattered into pieces under Li Xiaoxi's attack. As the smoke cleared, Joseph, wearing a topknot, with long brown hair and an evil smile on his face, appeared in Li Xiaoxi's eyes.
"The battle of the Ten Wizard Saints will cause the heavens and earth to shatter, but you did the worst thing you could have done, which was to mess with Fairy Tail. So go to hell and repent for me, Joseph," Li Xiaoxi said in a completely emotionless tone.
Joseph, who had been sitting there, burst into laughter as if he had heard something hilarious. "Hahaha, if Makarov had said that, I might have been a little wary, but you? A brat who hasn't even grown his first hair? Hahaha, I'll show you how terrifying I am! Li Xiaoxi!"
"Really? I'm looking forward to it." A white light flashed in Li Xiaoxi's hand, filled with pure light magic.
Seeing the pure light magic emanating from Li Xiaoxi's hand, Joseph's smile vanished, his expression turning serious. Though he outwardly dismissed Li Xiaoxi with disdain, he dared not relax his vigilance towards her after she had completed the century-long mission. Joseph couldn't understand why Li Xiaoxi, possessing such strength, hadn't been named one of the Ten Wizard Saints by the Council. While the criteria for selecting the Ten Wizard Saints included reputation and contributions in addition to strength, strength was absolutely the foundation. Without strength, no matter how high one's reputation or how great one's contributions, it was impossible to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints. The strength Li Xiaoxi was displaying was something even Joseph could see through. Joseph had launched his attack precisely because he knew Li Xiaoxi wasn't with Fairy Tail, but Fairy Tail hadn't expected her return so quickly.
Chapter 250 Mystergang
"Finally, may I ask one question?" Li Xiaoxi suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm? What's the problem?" Joseph, whose body was wrapped in countless purple magic powers, looked at Li Xiaoxi.
"Why? Why attack Fairy Tail at this time?"
"Why? The answer is simple, isn't it? Truly powerful magic, Li Xiaoxi. To complete a century-old mission at such a young age... and there are still several mages as powerful as you in Makarov's guild. It's infuriating." After saying this, Joseph's purple magic transformed into several ghostly figures that flew towards Li Xiaoxi.
Li Xiaoxi's expression remained unchanged. She stretched out her hand, and three defensive magic circles instantly appeared in front of her, blocking Joseph's attack. "So, because of this kind of pointless jealousy? Then you might as well just die, Joseph."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoxi's figure vanished from Joseph's sight. Joseph's expression changed, and almost instinctively, he unleashed all his magic power. This instinctive action saved his life. The cold light magic power, which was interfered with by the purple magic power, almost grazed his cheek, leaving a clear scar on his face.
Feeling the stinging pain on his cheek, Joseph immediately retaliated, unleashing a purple ghostly energy from his hand that momentarily blocked Li Xiaoxi's attack. He then swiftly retreated, creating distance between himself and Li Xiaoxi.
"As expected of one of the Ten Wizard Saints, your reaction is incredibly fast. But now, the real show begins. I'm going to show you that daring to attack Fairy Tail was the biggest mistake of your life."
After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, she unleashed a magical power several times stronger than Joseph's, which rushed towards him. Joseph dared not be careless and mobilized all his own magical power to fight against Li Xiaoxi's magic power.
With a deafening boom, two streams of magical energy shot into the sky, instantly filling it with dark clouds. A bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens, and the earth began to crack. The entire Magnolia trembled as if plunged into the apocalypse.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"The sky, the sky has cracked open!"
The Fairy Tail members stared wide-eyed at the scene.
Bang! The white and purple beams of light in Li Xiaoxi's and Joseph's hands collided, causing a massive shockwave. Initially, Joseph's magic could contend with Li Xiaoxi's, but only for a few seconds. Before Joseph could even feel triumphant, his magic was scattered by Li Xiaoxi's. Within Li Xiaoxi's magic, Joseph felt every inch of his body being crushed by her power, and numerous bloody welts appeared on his body.
"Joseph, if you insist on comparing your magic with mine, then you shall experience the feeling of the end of the world within my magic!" After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, she gently pointed her hand towards the sky, and thunder rumbled across the sky. Soon, several bolts of lightning filled with terrifying magic struck Joseph.
------------
The sweltering heat permeated the green forest; the intense temperature even made the leaves of the trees and the heavy earth feel scorched. The oppressive, suffocating, brutal, and stifling heat, whether from the midday sun or the nearby conflict, felt as if it were tearing one's cells and fibers apart.
The occasional roars and magical fluctuations from afar highlight the terror of the war that seems capable of shattering the heavens and earth, but here, all is calm, as peaceful and serene as a legendary paradise.
"The trees, the earth, and the air are all alive, as if foreshadowing the coming storm..." A dark cloak was draped over her body, and although her face was deeply wrinkled, one could still vaguely see the radiant beauty of her youth in the pink-haired old woman's face.
The healing mage, Boryusica, lives alone in the forest east of Magnolia. Due to its remote location, it has always been part of Fairy Tail's territory. Boryusica, a healing mage who hates humans but possesses incredibly high healing magic, resides here. Even the members of Fairy Tail only know that this reclusive person lives in this area. Naturally, because of this, rumors circulated within the guild that she was Guild Master Makarov's former lover. Whether it was true or not, no one dared to investigate. However, she showed no aversion to Li Xiaoxi, which puzzled Natsu and the others for a long time.
"That's why I say that humans are stupid creatures who only know how to write stories with arguments."
An apple flew out and landed at the feet of the newcomer. The newcomer reached out and picked up the apple from the ground. A dark cloak covered his entire body, and white bandages were wrapped around his arms and calves. A dark hat and mask covered his face so that only a pair of cold eyes were visible.
“Mystogan? Are you leaving before you finish collecting Makarov’s magic?” Polyusika looked at the newcomer and softly revealed his identity: Mystogan, one of Fairy Tail’s three strongest candidates.
"Can I eat this?" Mystergan asked, looking at the apple in his hand.
Mistgang didn't wait for a reply. Instead, he took a bite of his apple and said calmly, "The war will soon be over. Joseph's actions have thoroughly enraged Li Xiaoxi. When Li Xiaoxi gets serious, Joseph will have no chance."
"Although I don't want to make statements that incite conflict among humans, you're Makarov's partner, so leave now. Then you can fight each other to your heart's content."
A gentle breeze blew by, and countless banners adorned with ghostly emblems fluttered down like five-colored butterflies with broken wings, slowly falling from the sky. The ghostly emblems engraved on them seemed to confirm that the incredibly foolish and jealous guild and its leader would also fall to the ground like these banners.
Seeing this, Poryusica's expression changed slightly. "The banner of the Spectres? Did you single-handedly defeat all of the Spectres's branches?"
Even Poryusica, a mage who had been famous for many years, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. After all, Phantom Lord's branches were spread throughout the entire kingdom. Putting aside how long it would take to subdue one of them, just traveling all over the kingdom would definitely not be an easy task.
"No, this is only a small part. I don't know about the others. They were already wiped out when I went there. Oh, and I'd like to eat an apple."
"You're not planning to just leave this trash here, are you?" Poliusica complained before continuing, "Honestly, I'm speechless. Too much power only adds to the sorrow, and then... things that exist in the vortex of tragedy will be forgotten because of anger."
People only know that Polyusicaa hates humans, but they don't understand why she hates them. There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason. In this chaotic era, humans are indeed such creatures, only using blood to create more blood, only using sorrow to create more sorrow. Having witnessed all of this, Polyusicaa chose to live a secluded life in this remote place, isolated from the world.
Chapter 251 The Final Judgment
Just as Mr. Gangben was about to leave, a terrifying wave suddenly emanated from afar. A kind of pressure, like a god looking down on ants, pressed down on the two of them. An incomparably powerful magical force, carrying unparalleled pressure, made the two of them change their expressions. Under this pressure, they simultaneously knelt on the ground.
"This kid's magic is terrifying. Is it even humanly possible for him to possess magic?" Poryusica said, her face filled with disbelief.
Mystergan nodded in agreement, noting that the magic power of one person like Li Xiaoxi was hundreds of times greater than that of the world he came from.
When Natsu and the others were fighting the four elemental ghosts, they all sensed the incredibly terrifying magical power emanating from Li Xiaoxi.
"Is this all that Xiaoxi has accomplished in the past two years? It's absolutely terrifying!" Gray exclaimed speechlessly after defeating Juvia Rox, one of the Phantom Lords, one of the "Four Elements" of Water. He felt the world-destroying power of this power.
The Fairy Tail guild completely agreed with this. However, Mirajane's surprise differed from the guild members'; she felt more pride!
At the Phantom Lord headquarters, Joseph was completely injured from Li Xiaoxi's double attack! His entire body was filled with Li Xiaoxi's lightning magic. Lightning represents justice and fairness, and this power made it impossible for Joseph to heal himself with magic.
Seeing that Joseph was powerless to fight back, Li Xiaoxi withdrew her magic and lightning power.
At this moment, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Elfman arrived at the Phantom Lord headquarters.
"Xiao hope, is Joseph dead?" Erza frowned as she looked at Joseph lying motionless on the ground.
"He's not dead, but he's close to it. Don't worry, Erza, I know you're worried. I won't kill him. I'd feel dirty if someone like him died by my hand."
"Then I'm relieved."
"So what should we do next?"
"Let's do it this way!"
Li Xiaoxi turned her gaze to Joseph. She placed her hands in front of her chest, and a golden sphere slowly condensed in her outstretched palms before speaking to Joseph, "Joseph, I must admit you are indeed a very powerful mage. If you could use that magic for good and become a role model for all mages, combined with your status, you should be able to advance the development of the magic world..."
"Hmph, are you lecturing me? You brat." Joseph, barely managing to stand with the last of his strength, clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Li Xiaoxi, filled with hatred.
Li Xiaoxi ignored Joseph's words and looked at him with an extremely calm gaze. "According to Fairy Tail's custom, I will count to three before judging you. Kneel down."
"What? I was wondering what you were going to say, you want me to kneel down? You want a dignified Tenth Wizard to kneel down to you?"
"One, two..."
"Don't joke around. The guild leader of the kingdom's number one guild has submitted to you? You think I'm powerless to defeat you, brat? You're the one who should be kneeling!!" Joseph used the last of his magic power to launch a final attack. Purple magic erupted as Joseph raised his hands, using two giant purple skulls formed from his magic power. "Disappear! Turn to dust and disappear!"
“…Three, time’s up!” Golden light shone brightly from Li Xiaoxi’s hands.
"Disappear!" Joseph shouted, "[Death Storm]!" Two massive, skull-shaped streams of magic erupted and attacked Li Xiaoxi.
"【Fairy Law】, activate!" Li Xiaoxi shouted softly, and golden light bloomed in her hand. Joseph's magic power was completely dispelled in this golden light, like ice and snow melting together. A huge golden magic circle appeared above the magic giant, communicating with the golden sphere in Li Xiaoxi's hand. Then, the entire space was enveloped in golden light, and everyone's vision was filled with only that dazzling light.
"Wh...what? That light is..." Natsu and the others, who were watching Li Xiaoxi from the side, stared in shock at the warm and beautiful light, their faces blank.
“It’s the [Fairy Law].” Erza said, looking at the golden light emanating from Li Xiao.
"【Fairy Law】?" Gray repeated in confusion, having never heard the term before.
Erza smiled and said, "Using holy light to vanquish darkness, the caster will only attack what they perceive as an enemy. It is a super magic that has become legendary."
"Wow, that's amazing! Little hope is really amazing!" Natsu, who was covered in wounds after defeating Gajeel, said excitedly, clenching his fists.
As the golden light and smoke dissipated, Joseph, who was the first to be struck by the [Fairy Law], was stunned, his face devoid of color, his eyes unfocused, and even his hair had turned gray.
Ignoring Joseph, who was no longer able to fight, Li Xiaoxi raised her head, looked up at the sky, and a subtle smile slowly appeared on her lips. "President, how did I do?"
Makarov, who had appeared in the sky at some point, smiled when he saw Li Xiaoxi's expression, which resembled a child showing off their achievements to an adult. He patted Li Xiaoxi on the shoulder and then slowly descended to the ground. "Well done, Xiaoxi."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"I don't like what you're saying, guild master," Natsu said, dissatisfied.
"Yes, it's the president. You need to apologize."
"Okay! I misspoke, everyone was great."
Makarov smiled happily, then turned to the dazed Joseph with a serious expression and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to go near Fairy Tail again. You've caused such a big commotion that the council members probably won't stand idly by. After that, you'll be the one who has to worry first. We're in the same boat."
With a bang, without turning her head, Li Xiaoxi used magic to send Aria flying as she tried to launch a sneak attack from behind. Her expression remained unchanged as she closed her eyes and said calmly, "It's over. The boundaries between guilds have been drawn. If they still want to push their luck, I will eliminate them without mercy. Take Joseph back with you."
"We won! We defeated Spectre!" With cheers from the Fairy Tail members in front of the guild, the battle between the two guilds came to an end. Just then, Li Xiaoxi's guild, Xiaoxi Card, returned with their spoils. Countless banners bearing the Spectre crest fluttered down from the sky, the Spectre crest seemingly a testament to the utterly foolish and jealous guild and its leader, who, like these banners, would fall to the ground.
Chapter 252 Lucy Heartfilia
Makarov, Li Xiaoxi, and Natsu slowly landed on the ground. Looking at the guild in front of them, which had been damaged beyond recognition in the battle, Makarov sighed deeply. "It's really badly damaged."
"Um... um, President," Lucy suddenly walked over and called out to Makarov.
"Hmm?" Makarov turned his head, looked at Lucy's wounds with a kind gaze, and said, "You've suffered a lot too."
"Don't look so sad, Lucy," Li Xiaoxi said softly.
"Huh?" Lucy looked at Li Xiaoxi in surprise.
Li Xiaoxi smiled slightly, "It's alright, the matter has already been resolved, hasn't it? Besides, the guild was destroyed, but it can be rebuilt. As long as the guild members are all safe, that's all that matters."
“Xiao hope, I…” Lucy was stunned and couldn’t speak.
"That's it, Lucy!" A lively female voice reached Lucy's ears.
The familiar voice made Lucy quickly turn her head and see the Shadow Engine team, who were bandaged and covered in ointment but looked to be in good spirits. The one speaking was Levy, who was smiling in the center.
"No, it's because of me..."
“I’ve heard about it, but nobody thinks it’s Lucy’s fault,” Rebi said to Lucy reassuringly.
“Lucy,” Li Xiaoxi’s expression turned serious as she looked at Lucy earnestly and said, “Happy things and sad things, though I can’t say all of them, can be shared to a certain extent. That’s what the guild is about. One person’s happiness is everyone’s happiness, one person’s anger is everyone’s anger, and one person’s tears are everyone’s tears. There’s no need to feel guilty, Lucy.” A gentle smile returned to Li Xiaoxi’s lips as she looked at Lucy, who was covering her face with her hands. “Haven’t we already conveyed everyone’s feelings to you? Lift your head up. You’re a member of Fairy Tail.”
Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the ground. Lucy finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"But then again, this time they really went too far. The council is definitely going to be furious. No, wait, they might even get locked up in solitary confinement!"
Makarov, who had maintained a calm expression, instantly conjured up images of the dark-faced council members in his mind. Cold sweat broke out on his face, and he burst into tears, grabbing Li Xiaoxi's leg. "Li Xiaoxi, you have to testify for me! This battle was absolutely not our fault! Otherwise, I'll really be arrested and imprisoned by the council. Look at my old bones..."
Li Xiaoxi looked at Makarov, who was clinging to her leg and crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, with a black line on her face. Finally, she comforted him and said, "It's okay, guild master. This time, it was Ghost who provoked first. Even if they arrest someone, they will arrest Joseph, not you."
"Really?" Makarov's expression was one of ecstatic joy, like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a straw.
"Yes, really." Li Xiaoxi repeated helplessly.
"It's terrible, it's terrible, Guild Master! The Council's army is here!" While Li Xiaoxi and Makarov were talking, a guild member ran in and reported this nightmarish news to Makarov.
"Oops."
"Do you already know?"
Upon hearing this news, everyone panicked. Some members, like Natsu, even tried to run away, but before they could, they were surrounded by the council's army.
Soon, in order to investigate the course of the incident, the members of Fairy Tail were taken into separate tents one by one.
The members of the "Name" review committee picked up their pens and began asking questions.
"Li Xiaoxi".
"gender?"
“Male,” Li Xiaoxi replied speechlessly.
"Tell me, what caused this war between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail?" the council member asked with a serious expression.
"You should ask Phantom Lord about that. We Fairy Tail were forced to fight back," Li Xiaoxi replied indifferently without even raising her eyes.
"Get serious!" The council member slammed his hand on the table and continued, "Who defeated the four elements of the Phantom Lord and the Guild Master?"
“…Who knows.” Li Xiaoxi turned her head away guiltily. “Maybe they couldn’t think straight and killed each other.”
"You, you..." The council member pointed at Li Xiaoxi with trembling fingers, unable to utter a single word. The Ghost Dominators killing each other? That's too shameless. They should at least come up with a more appropriate excuse.
