Affected by the Moon Drip, a huge 'waste gas' layer, like a disc, existed in the sky above Galuna Island.
It was precisely because of this 'waste gas' layer that the demons on the island developed memory disorders.
After Erza removed the 'waste gas' layer, the demons on the island all regained their memories.
And Natsu and the others' job could be considered successfully completed.
To express their gratitude, the demons on the island gave Kenichi and the others a huge ship.
Then Kenichi, Natsu, Erza, and the group boarded the massive ship and returned along the original route.
"Kenichi, come check out our guild with us. After seeing the harmonious atmosphere in our guild, maybe you'll want to join!"
Natsu said to Kenichi again.
'Harmonious atmosphere?'
Hearing Natsu's words, Erza felt a headache coming on, while Lucy looked speechless.
'Was that a harmonious atmosphere?'
'That was clearly just chaos.'
'And it was that chaotic every day...'
Kenichi didn't refuse Natsu's invitation.
From what Kenichi knew, after Natsu, Erza, and the others return to Fairy Tail this time, Phantom Lord would attack Fairy Tail.
And the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel, was from Phantom Lord.
Although Kenichi had already obtained Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic attribute, he also wanted Gajeel's Iron Dragon Slayer Magic attribute.
However, the real reason Kenichi accepted Natsu's invitation was that during the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord, Makarov would use the legendary super magic, Fairy Law.
Kenichi had wanted to get his hands on the Fairy Law even before coming to Ishgar.
Now, with such an opportunity to collect the Fairy Law attribute, Kenichi naturally wouldn't let it pass.
Furthermore, if Kenichi had to choose a guild to join, his first choice would be Fairy Tail.
As for the reason, Fairy Tail didn't have many rigid rules and regulations.
"Great!"
After Kenichi agreed to go to the guild with them, Natsu was overjoyed.
But before Natsu could be happy for long, Erza spoke up: "As for the punishment for your unauthorized action this time, it will be decided by the Master upon our return!"
Hearing Erza's words, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on Natsu's head.
One moment he was extremely excited…
The next, he was like a wilted eggplant.
"No, not the punishment!"
Natsu kept shaking his head, but was still dragged away firmly by Erza.
When Kenichi, Erza, and the others arrived in Magnolia Town, they saw the Fairy Tail Guild building covered in thick steel rods, like a porcupine.
Seeing this scene, the faces of Natsu, Gray, and the others changed dramatically.
Natsu, Gray, and the others had all grown up in Fairy Tail, and they had long considered it their home.
Now, seeing the guild destroyed like this, their anger instantly peaked.
Even Erza's pretty face was filled with rage.
"What in the world..."
Happy looked at the destroyed guild and spoke gravely.
Perhaps Erza and the others didn't know what was going on.
But Kenichi knew.
Phantom Lord had launched a sneak attack on Fairy Tail.
And just looking at this steel, it was clearly the work of the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel.
'Has Phantom Lord already come to this town?'
After scanning the surroundings, Kenichi activated his Sensory Magic.
During his two years on the Western Continent, besides collecting the magic attributes of the three Spriggan 12, Irene, Invel, and Neinhart… Kenichi had also collected many other magic attributes.
It's just that these magic attributes were nothing compared to those of the Spriggan 12, so Kenichi rarely used them.
The Sensory Magic attribute Kenichi was using now was one he had collected from a mage on the Western Continent.
As the Sensory Magic was activated, an invisible ripple spread out in all directions with Kenichi at its center.
Soon, most of Magnolia Town was within Kenichi's sensory range.
At the same time, a large number of magical power reactions appeared in Kenichi's mind.
However, this Sensory Magic attribute could only detect the location and size of magical power… it couldn't provide more detailed information.
But if it was someone Kenichi had had contact with before, he could remember that person's magical power.
For example, Natsu. The next time Kenichi sensed Natsu's magical power reaction, he would know that reaction was Natsu.
As for people he hadn't encountered, it was difficult to tell.
However, the person Kenichi wanted to sense now was the Master of the Phantom Lord Guild, Jose.
Jose, like Makarov, was one of the Wizard Saints.
The magical power of these two men stood out like a crane among chickens in Magnolia.
Soon, Kenichi locked onto two massive magical power reactions.
One of them was inside the guild behind Kenichi.
Clearly, this magical power belonged to Makarov.
And the other one naturally belonged to Jose.
After locating Jose's position, Kenichi immediately activated the Spatial Magic attribute and vanished into thin air.
Natsu, Gray, and the others were so immersed in their anger over the guild's destruction that they didn't even notice Kenichi's disappearance.
After Natsu and the others entered the guild, they learned from Mirajane that the guild had been attacked by Phantom Lord.
Upon hearing this, Natsu stormed down to the guild's basement.
"Grandpa!"
Natsu called out to Makarov, who was sitting on a table drinking heavily.
"Oh, you're back!"
"Now isn't the time to be drinking, is it? The guild's been destroyed. We should go settle the score with those Phantom Lord guys!"
"It's just destruction. That's the only method they can think of. Let them be!"
Makarov said indifferently.
But the anger in Natsu's heart kept growing.
Just as Natsu was about to say something, Makarov said, "I haven't punished you for secretly taking an S-Class job yet!"
With that, Makarov symbolically hit Natsu.
Mentioning the S-Class job, Erza over there suddenly remembered Kenichi.
"By the way, Master, let me introduce someone to you..."
After saying this to Makarov, Erza turned to look-
But there was no one behind her.
"Where is Kenichi?"
By now, Kenichi had already arrived on top of a tall building in the town.
And below the building where Kenichi stood, there were two people.
These two were none other than the Phantom Lord Master, Jose, and Gajeel.
"Makarov can really endure. There's still no movement from him yet!"
Jose said.
"That means I haven't done enough. I plan to give them another big gift!"
Gajeel said with a grin.
"My, my, don't go too far and kill them!"
