Chapter 84 The crowd was in high spirits, let's bring it on!
Magnolia.
Even though it was already morning, the air was still filled with an uncomfortable and oppressive atmosphere, even worse than last night.
The streets were deserted, completely devoid of their usual hustle and bustle.
To guard against the Phantoms that could attack at any time, Mira, Erza, Lucy, Levy, and others made preparations in advance to evacuate the residents.
The Fairy Tail guild is in ruins.
Although the giant iron pillar created by Gajeel has been cleaned up and the holes have been temporarily repaired,
Unfortunately, the damage was simply too severe.
This action not only failed to stabilize the guild, but instead, under the gentle breeze, it showed signs of teetering on the brink of collapse, much like the gloomy weather today, with a storm brewing.
Inside the hall, almost all of Fairy Tail's members were present, except for a few who couldn't be contacted, and the venue was packed with people.
Wearing the exclusive cloak of the Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov stood on the dilapidated bar counter, with Chess, Mira, and Erza, three S-rank characters, standing beside him.
"Verbal abuse, disrupting commissions, and damaging the guild are all trivial matters to us."
but-"
Makarov abandoned his usual unruly and cunning demeanor, his eyes becoming frighteningly sharp.
"Since the Spectre and Sabertooth have the audacity to attack our people, they shouldn't expect a neat ending."
No father wants to see his child bleed and weep, so as long as the Phantom Lords dare to start a war,
No—even if they can tolerate it, this matter will never be resolved!
"They must remember this the terrible price they will pay for attacking Fairy Tail!!"
Last night, after learning from Erza and the others who rushed over that the Cartway Engine Squad had almost been wiped out,
Makarov, who had been yielding repeatedly, finally snapped.
The attack on the children was the only thing he could not tolerate.
The resulting anger will not be quelled even if the council intervenes to mediate; it is destined to cause chaos!
Therefore, Makarov approved of Chase's approach almost without thinking: You, Joseph, just want to fight, right? Then bring it on!
He then interrogated Erza about the Saberbite Tiger dragon set she had brought back.
The extra is quite the opportunist; he was terrified by a single glance from Makarov, so he allied Spectre with Sabertooth, attempted to provoke Fairy Tail through an attack, and had the wind elemental Aria lying in wait within the guild.
He spilled all the information he knew about his actions.
All the conspiracies have come to light, hence this pre-battle mobilization.
"Ooooooo!!!"
The Fairy Tail members shouted loudly, responding to Makarov's will with an irrepressible and intense fighting spirit.
They were never the type to swallow their anger. Back when their family exposed them, they had been holding back a lot of resentment. Now, the release of this pent-up anger was naturally terrifying.
"Although, it seems like you guys are going to bring the guild down." Lucy muttered to herself in the crowd.
"Love~ Lucy, it's nothing!" Happy flew in from the sky.
"Hahaha! You damn Phantom, come here already! I'm already on fire!" Natsu clasped his fists together, and flames roared up.
"I understand how you feel, but the guild is really on the verge of collapse—"
Lucy watched as wood chips fell all around her and was about to stop Natsu when she inadvertently noticed the excitement and exhilaration on her friends' faces.
"Buildings are just the surface; wherever everyone is, even if it's a ruin, that's where the guild is."
A handsome figure came to her side.
Loki also looked around and sighed, "These guys have been waiting too long. Let them unleash their full power."
Upon hearing this, Lucy was slightly taken aback: "Loki, you—"
"Ahhh, no, I still can't get too close to you!"
Loki's cool demeanor lasted only three seconds before he sheepishly hid behind Elfman, who was shouting "Men of Men!"
"So what are you so afraid of?!" Lucy snapped.
However, she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes slightly, and felt the incredibly intense atmosphere around her.
That's true, we shouldn't spoil everyone's fun at a time like this.
"Oh oh oh! Fuck the ghost!!"
So, Lucy, who had reopened her eyes, shouted loudly and blended into the crowd.
At the bar, Makarov shifted his gaze from the children to Mira, who was standing to the side.
"Mira, are you still unable to contact those people?"
He was naturally referring to Gildaz, Laxus, and Mystergan.
It's not that we need them to come and provide support, but the impact of fighting the Phantoms is too great, so it's better to give them a heads-up in advance.
"Laxus just got in touch, but—"
Thinking of what Laxus had just said, even Mira, who was usually good-tempered, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"But what?" Makarov raised an eyebrow, already somewhat guessing what the situation was.
"You should talk to him yourself."
Mira walked behind the bar and activated the communication magic crystal placed in the corner.
The communication was quickly established, and Lagersas, wearing spiked headphones, immediately appeared inside the crystal ball.
He was accompanied by Thor's crew, and judging from the background, they seemed to be in some desolate mountain forest.
"Lagusas, where are you now?" Makarov asked in a deep voice.
"I'm working on a commission. What, old man, are you trying to persuade me to go back like Mira did?"
In the scene, Laxus arrogantly spreads his arms, nonchalantly saying, "I won't get involved in such boring things. You and Chase and that bunch of trash, just keep guarding your crappy guild!"
If Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord were to fight for Fiore's strength, he would definitely be at the forefront, utterly crushing them.
But what if the action is based on protecting the useless and weak?
What's it to him!
He desperately wanted to use the opportunity of Phantom's attack to make Makarov realize that the weak have no reason to stay in the guild, so that he would "wake up" and lead Fairy Tail to become the strongest!
"Laxus, do you know what you're saying?!" Makarov snapped, his face grim.
However, Laxus, who was going through a rebellious phase, had no intention of replying at all. He left with the words "I have to make a request" and unilaterally cut off the communication.
"That damned bastard!"
Makarov was furious.
Just then, Bisca, who was in charge of reconnaissance and surveillance on the rooftop, suddenly ran in from outside.
"Guild Master, a group of mages we've never seen before in Magnolia have appeared 600 meters from the guild's main gate."
"The leader was a burly man with huge Buddhist beads around his neck and white eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the noisy guild members immediately quieted down, clenched their fists silently, and their eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"It's finally here, Germain—"
Makarov's face darkened, and he suddenly crushed the wooden cane in his hand to pieces. He then jumped off the bar and led the excited crowd out of the guild.
Chase followed closely behind, silently mourning for Germain in his heart: You can be used as a pawn, but to make matters worse, you had to show your face right after the old man finished talking to Laxus.
This is practically a free gift!
