Chapter 102 Stealing Home
While Alia was performing her ultimate move...
"defense!"
Two magic spells exploded around Marklov at the same time.
At the critical moment, Kira took action and narrowly defended against the sneak attack!
Except for Kira himself, the three of them were shocked at the same time.
"Humph! I knew you were waiting here!" Kira proudly withdrew his hand and said to the flustered Joseph and Alia, "It's a good idea, but it's worthless once it's seen through!"
At this time, Markov also reacted in time, stretched out his right hand and punched Alia in the face, knocking him out.
"I'm really old. I almost got ambushed. Luckily you reacted in time, Kira!"
"Um!"
"But the guild..."
Kira consoled him, "Don't worry about the guild, I've left special magic items for Lucy and Mira, they'll be fine!"
Hearing that Kira was prepared, Markov felt relieved. Although Kira was not serious at ordinary times, he was still very reliable at critical moments: "That's good!"
However, just in case, Markov decided to retreat first, since Joseph was not here anyway.
"Now, do you have any tricks?" Kira stepped on the fallen Alia and said to the flustered Joseph, "If not, it's my turn to play!"
“Hehehe, hahahahahaha…” After a burst of laughter, Joseph said viciously: “I really underestimated you, ‘Sage’ Kira! If I really only relied on those two guys, I would have really lost! Fortunately…”
"Fortunately?" Kira's heart tightened. Could it be that this old guy had a backup plan?
"Yes, fortunately! Fortunately, I went there in person. The items you left behind can defeat two S-class wizards under my command, but can they defeat me who is ranked among the Tenth Saint?"
I was careless! I didn't expect that old man Joseph would be so shameless and personally come to the scene!
It seems that we really can’t completely trust the plot in our memory. Once there are some changes, everything will be messed up!
Kira sighed, "You are an old man in his 50s, and you took advantage of us not paying attention to cheat us! To attack us by surprise! Is that okay?"
Marklov also realized that something was wrong and shouted to Kira: "Notify everyone to go back immediately!"
"Too late! President!" Kira shook his head.
"What?"
"The headquarters of the Phantom is a castle with teleportation magic, which means that Joseph should be in Magnolia now... on his mount!"
"What did you say?!"
…
"What it is ?"
Lucy and Mira, who had just walked to the entrance of the guild, suddenly felt the surroundings darken, as if the sky was blocked by something huge. When they looked back, they saw a huge mechanical castle.
Mira recognized the pattern engraved on it at a glance: "That emblem... is a ghost!"
Joseph walked out and stood on the Phantom Castle, looking down at Mira and Lucy on the ground, as well as the members who walked out of the Fairy Tail guild tavern and stayed in the guild because they had no ability to participate in the battle.
Mira's body couldn't stop shaking. The battle just now had used up most of her magic power: "That man is... the president of the Ghost, Joseph Pola! Why is he here?"
Lucy exclaimed, "Is he Joseph? The wizard who is in the Holy Ten like the president?"
"What? The president of Phantom?"
"Damn it! At this very moment..."
"What should we do? We can't defeat them on our own!"
Listening to her friends' discussion, Lucy broke out in a cold sweat and held Mira's hand even tighter.
"Oh oh oh ~ ~ ~ 'Demon' Mira... I haven't heard from you in a long time!" Joseph's ugly face showed a lewd smile in the sun, "I didn't expect that you could actually defeat my two S-level subordinates, it's amazing!"
"But that's all!"
Mira shouted with all her might: "Joseph! What on earth do you want to do? You violated the guild agreement and attacked other guilds privately. Whether it's the Council or the President, they will not let you go!"
"Then let him come! If there is still Fairy Tail by then!"
"What did you say?"
Just as he finished speaking, a mechanical sound came from the castle in front of him, and then a huge cannon was set up, with the black muzzle aimed at the Fairy Tail Guild.
Someone who knew it exclaimed: "That's a magic cluster cannon!"
The Phantom's magic cannon, Jupiter, uses four large magic crystal devices to absorb magic power as an energy source. Four conveyor belts send the huge magic power collected by the magic crystals to the main cannon. After compression, it will generate amazing energy. Finally, this energy is fired through the muzzle. The so-called magic cannon is probably based on this principle.
The card that Kira used on Karna Island to break the membrane of the Moon Drop, which he named "Moon Crusher", used this principle.
Looking at the magic cluster cannon in front of her, Lucy was dumbfounded. How could she block such a weapon?
On top of the castle, Joseph turned on the switch of the magic cannon with a crazy look on his face: "Fire! Jupiter Cannon!!!"
"Mira-san, be careful!!!"
"Lucy! Danger!!"
“Get out of the way!!”
Mira reacted in time and pulled Lucy's hand to dodge, but it was too late!
Boom! The Jupiter Cannon fired!
The sound of cannons shook the sky and the earth. A terrifying guild was about to raze Fairy Tail to the ground. At this time -
As if sensing danger, dozens of golden beams of light rose up about ten meters away from the guild.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, a golden magic circle emerged from each beam of light. Dozens of these magic circles resonated with each other and connected together to form a huge defensive magic shield that covered the guild.
The dazzling magic barrier is covered with countless magical words. These words are ancient, mysterious, obscure and difficult to learn. In Fairy Tail, only Markrov, the president, can use them.
"Is this... Amaterasu's defensive magic circle?!" Mira exclaimed in surprise, "No... that's not right, it seems a little different..."
The magic in the Amaterasu series is extremely advanced. In Fairy Tail, one can only learn it with the permission of the president. Not even Gildarts knows it. Even Mira has only heard Markrov talk about it once, but has never seen him use it.
"saved!"
"Very good!"
All the extras in Demon Tail were filled with gratitude and felt lucky to have survived the calamity.
"Damn it!" Joseph was furious again, "A trigger-type defensive magic spell? I didn't expect that old guy Marklov had this kind of trick up his sleeve!"
"But how long can this magic circle last without anyone providing magic power?"
Joseph waved his hand, and countless darkness shot out like bullets towards the golden barrier in front of him: "Darkness Shooting!!"
The magic stirred up countless smoke and dust, but the defensive magic circle did not reveal a single flaw.
Joseph didn't know that the thing Kira had the most was magic crystals, which served as energy reserves for many magic items.
"No, we can't hold out for much longer like this!" Mira hurried back to the guild, "The president and his men didn't bring the communication crystal, so we can only try to contact other people!"
…
"Damn it!" Joseph's thoughts exuded hatred in his eyes, a foul smell in his mouth, and he was furious.
Kira, however, acted as if nothing had happened: "What's wrong, old man? The cannon is useless!"
"Did you do this? I really underestimated you!"
Markov was confused: "Kira, what is going on?"
"Oh, it's okay!" Kira gave his old man a look that said 'everything is under control'. "I have already planted a trigger-type defensive magic circle around the guild a long time ago ! This guy wants to steal our house, but his magic cannon alone is useless!"
"Magic Cannon?!" Marklov's blood pressure suddenly rose. "This is not an ordinary attack. The magic you cast..."
Kira looked up and thought for a while: "This is the Amaterasu defensive magic circle that I improved! With the reserve magic crystals I placed earlier, it should be able to delay for a while, right? Speaking of which, because this battle was too rushed, the magic crystals collected in Zonia last time were not used..."
"What magic crystal...wait! You just said Amaterasu magic? When did you learn it?"
"What I saw in the library... This is not important! Should we retreat now?"
"It's not that easy!" Joseph's thought body shouted and blocked the way, then laughed wildly, "It only takes an hour to fill Jupiter, and it's half a day's drive from here to Magnolia. Can you make it back in time?"
Since Joseph didn't cast Living Link magic on Jupiter like in the original film, the filling speed was slower, but this also means that it will not stop just because the four elements are knocked down.
"By the time you return to Magnolia, Fairy Tail will have been blasted into ruins by me!"
What he has to do now is to hold Markrov back and drag him to his main body to break the defense shield, then destroy Fairy Tail, snatch Lucy away, and kill the remaining Fairy Tail members by the way.
"If you want to go back, you have to get past me first!"
"Just what I want!"
