"Lucy Kick!"
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
"Happy Iron Fist!"
"Black Wing Armor!"
Four streaks of light in the sky began a violent siege against the demon, as terrifying explosions whipped up flames that swept in all directions.
"So strong! It's Fairy Tail, the Fire Dragon and Titania!"
"Holy crap, what's up with that cat? His arms are thicker than my waist!"
The crowd hiding in the distance exclaimed in shock; even the demon was being suppressed. They were simply too strong!
Lucy's constitution had strengthened, and her output was extremely violent. With a single punch to the demon's head, she forcibly knocked the massive, hundred-meter-tall body to the ground.
"Nicely done, Lucy!"
"My turn!"
Happy had never felt so full of power as he did today. He strode forward, grabbed the demon by its foot, swung it around wildly a few times, and then hurled it into the sky.
Trash. This demon's purity was too low!
Erza followed closely behind, instantly unleashing thousands of sword strikes that made the demon roar in agony.
"Natsu!"
"Watch this! Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"
Flames erupted from Natsu's entire body as he soared into the sky. Gathering a massive fireball in his hands, he slammed it down onto the demon, instantly engulfing it.
Roar!
After the demon let out a pained shriek, it vanished into a sky full of shattered light with a bang.
"It's over!"
"They took down a Demon of the Books of Zeref so easily. That's incredible!"
"So these are the Mages of Fairy Tail!"
Everyone wore expressions of awe; they truly lived up to being the strongest guild.
Seeing Erza approach, Acnologia reached out and gave her a big hug. "Well done, Erza. As expected of my daughter."
Erza's face flushed red. "What are you doing? Let go, there are so many people here!"
"Hehe!"
Seeing that Erza didn't push him away, Acnologia's face lit up with joy. The two of them had grown one step closer.
To get closer to his daughter, the old father was racking his brains.
Irene curled her lip, then turned to pick up Lucy, praising her, "Great job, Lucy. I'll give you a reward tonight."
Lucy looked speechless. "I don't want it!"
Meanwhile, Natsu could only pitifully hug Happy. However, Happy's additional power hadn't faded yet, and his immense strength nearly squeezed the life out of Natsu.
Erza looked at the massive crater in the distance, feeling helpless. "We went too far. I'm afraid the Magic Council is going to criticize us again."
Acnologia said confidently, "Just say the word, and I'll go wipe out that Council or whatever it is!"
Erza didn't believe him at all and waved her hand. "There are many Wizard Saint-level Mages there, experts above the S-Class. Stop bragging."
"Let's go, we're heading back. We'll leave the rest for the Master to worry about."
...Magic Council
This was an organization that managed the Mages of the entire continent. It had several of the Ten Wizard Saints under its command, each of whom was incredibly powerful, far beyond what an S-Class Mage could compare to.
At this moment, a meeting was convened once again regarding Fairy Tail's destruction of Eisenwald.
"Fairy Tail's destructive power is too great. The local authorities have already reported economic losses exceeding one hundred million."
"It was all to defeat the demon. Even if we sent the Wizard Saints, they might not have done any better!" Siegrain, also known as Jellal, said calmly.
"Four people and a cat protected the civilians and wiped out a Dark Guild. It is indeed very impressive."
A smile appeared on Ultear's lips. Holding a crystal ball and wearing a tight white dress, her graceful curves were clearly outlined.
A white-haired old man said flatly, "But the destruction they caused is also an indisputable fact."
Siegrain glanced at everyone, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "The Magic Council's army was useless. Defeating the demon relied entirely on the members of Fairy Tail. Under these circumstances, if you issue a punishment, it will definitely make us a laughingstock to the world."
In truth, he had always looked down on these people. They were only good at empty talk, and when faced with a problem, they only knew how to shift the blame. It would serve them right if they were wiped out one day.
"Fine, there's no need for further discussion on this matter. Just follow the procedure for the subsequent arrests."
The matter was settled... Seven days passed in a flash, and Lucy, Natsu, and Happy were out on a mission again.
They originally wanted to invite Acnologia and Irene, but Acnologia knew the plot. Hearing that the mission was at the Clover Canyon, he refused immediately.
That arc took place in a desert, far from any towns or shops. One couldn't even find a place to eat and would have to fight monsters on an empty stomach the whole way.
He wasn't going to suffer in that godforsaken place.
The mission was led by Master Makarov, with Erza and Gray following along as well.
Acnologia originally wanted to stop Erza, but his daughter was headstrong and wouldn't listen to her old father.
Acnologia shook his head and sighed. "Not listening to your elders will lead to trouble."
Irene leaned against his shoulder, wearing a black dress and crossing her legs. A playful smile played on her face. "Do you know what they're going to encounter?"
"Of course. If there's anything in this world I don't know, it would be that so-called Ankhseram God."
"There are gods in this world?"
"Didn't I just say I don't know!"
Irene wore a dangerous expression. "You didn't say that!"
"I didn't say it!"
Bam!
The guild doors were kicked open, followed by another thud as Natsu was kicked straight into the guild, accompanied by a roar: "Brat, stop kicking the door every day!"
"The Master is back!"
"Erza, how did the mission go?"
Everyone greeted them; these few were the most capable in the guild.
*Grumble~*
The sound of stomachs growling echoed. The six of them were like starving ghosts, pouncing on any food they saw and frantically stuffing it into their mouths.
Acnologia watched Erza scrambling at the table. Seeing her eyes roll back from choking, he quickly handed her a glass of juice and patted her back. "I told you not to go, now you regret it, don't you?"
Seeing her unscrupulous parents gloating, Erza was so frustrated her head felt like it would explode. "You two knew all along?"
Acnologia peeled an apple for her, looking like he was being wrongly accused. "I didn't go, so how could I know? The reason I told you not to go was just because I had a bad feeling."
Irene gave him a sidelong glance. This guy was truly shameless, lying through his teeth even to his own daughter.
"Your father is right! Little Erza, you should listen to us from now on."
"Damn it!"
Erza gritted her teeth. She was out there suffering and working to earn money, while this couple was all lovey-dovey in the guild, eating and drinking well. How could it be so ridiculous? She was still just a seven-year-old child!
To be honest, Acnologia had forgotten that Erza was only seven. Looking at her fifteen or sixteen-year-old appearance and her conduct, he subconsciously felt she had grown up and didn't need him to worry.
"I'm full!"
Natsu jumped onto the table and shouted, "Erza, let's settle this once and for all!"
"Get lost!"
Erza sent him flying with a kick.
Where did this idiot come from? Couldn't he see she was in a foul mood!
Everyone looked on speechlessly. Natsu was getting bolder and bolder, daring to butt in no matter the situation.
Gray has been much better behaved lately; you must be taking his share of the beatings too.
