The Strength Behind the Strongest Guild

The enemy was defeated, Loke once again fell into a daze, while the two medical personnel behind him officially entered a state of full-force effort.

Although Cana's injuries were serious, they were ultimately just superficial wounds, a common occurrence in Fairy Tail. Therefore, Ms. Porlyusica appeared quite relaxed, and with Wendy's assistance, Cana was soon bouncing around again, even showing signs of wanting to drink.

"Hey, Loke, are you alright?"

With Wendy's help, Cana swayed and walked behind Loke, patting him on the shoulder.

Although it was Cana who was seriously injured, Loke appeared even weaker than Cana, looking listless and sitting there in a daze.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm sorry, Cana, my carelessness caused you to get hurt."

Loke snapped out of his daze and quickly turned to look at Cana, his eyes filled with apology. Although he was feeling heavy-hearted, he had been standing there in a daze while Cana was so badly injured because of him, and it was really not right of him to just stand there like that.

Cana didn't seem to care at all. She glanced warily at Angel lying dead in the distance, then plopped down next to Loke. The unrestrained movement startled Wendy, who was afraid Cana would tear her wound open again.

"Hey Loke, what was with that transformation you just did? What kind of magic was that? It was pretty powerful."

Kana sat cross-legged, looking at Loki with curiosity in her eyes. She was curious not only about Loki's magic but also about his identity. They had overheard Angel calling Loki Leo and the like.

Loke clearly has some connection with Angel, or perhaps with her Celestial Spirit; in any case, he has some secrets that make him seem quite mysterious.

Cana is a girl after all, and even if she's an alcoholic, she loves gossip. Little Wendy, standing next to her, blinked her big eyes intently, listening very carefully.

Normally, Loke would be incredibly aroused by being stared at by these two beautiful women, one tall and one short, but at this moment he felt very awkward. His gaze swept back and forth between Cana and Wendy, he opened his mouth, and finally sighed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't talk about the past yet. I... I am now just Loke, the mage of Fairy Tail... so..."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I was just asking."

Seeing Loke's predicament, Cana kindly interrupted him with a cheerful laugh. Everyone has their own secrets, and Loke naturally wouldn't force Cana to talk about them.

This is Loke's own business, and apart from being a little annoyed that Cana and Wendy didn't hear the gossip, they didn't lose anything.

Loke looked at the carefree Cana and smiled to himself.

As expected, everyone in Fairy Tail is very considerate. Although I was only tricked into joining by Eleven, Loke still feels incredibly lucky to have joined this guild.

However, at that moment, a crashing sound of breaking glass suddenly came from the small wooden house in Porlyusica, which immediately made everyone, whose nerves were still very tense after the battle, tense up and they looked towards the small wooden house.

Sure enough, the danger was not over yet. A man dressed as an assassin held a rapier to Porlyusica's neck, forcing her to leave the hut.

"Ms. Porlyusica!!" Wendy, Cana, Loke all shouted.

"Haha! You all better behave yourselves, or I'll kill this old woman!"

Seeing the three of them tense, the assassin-type mage who had kidnapped Ms. Porlyusica became even more smug and tightened his grip on Porlyusica hand, making his control even more secure.

However, he didn't notice that with his movements, Porlyusica got goosebumps all over his body, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

Just as the assassin-type mage was about to say something, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm, followed by a spinning sensation and a sharp roar that pierced his eardrums.

"You bastard! Don't touch me, human! I hate humans!"

Bang!!

Under the shocked gazes of Wendy, Carla, Cana, and Loke, Porlyusica, who had just been kidnapped, suddenly sprang up and executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the assassin-type mage to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

Ms. Porlyusica is so strong!!

"Snort!!"

Porlyusica snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the cabin with a flourish, leaving the others looking at each other in shock.

Porlyusica is, after all, an old monster who emerged from the same era as Makarov. Although she has no magic power and cannot use magic, she still has some means of self-defense. To say she is strong is not really true; it's just that she usually has a proud and calm queen-like demeanor, and then suddenly throws someone with a violent over-the-shoulder throw, the contrast is too great, and it's hard to accept.

However, no one had time to care about Porlyusica's fighting skills right now; the appearance of that tragic assassin mage here was obviously not an accident.

As he appeared, more and more dark mages emerged from the woods, and before they knew it, they had densely surrounded the group in front of the cabin.

"Damn it, so she wasn't the only one after all?" Cana nervously looked around at the sinisterly grinning dark mages, cursing inwardly.

Cana sensed it briefly and found that there were suddenly thousands of magical fluctuations here. She wondered how these guys had hidden themselves before and managed to get so close to Magnolia.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down his cheek. The problem was no longer as simple as whether the few people in front of the cabin could survive. If things went wrong, the entire Magnolia could be plunged into crisis. If these thousands of people silently broke into Magnolia, it would be a massacre-level disaster.

"Haha! That woman from Oración Seis was defeated? The Oración Seis is nothing special after all. Looks like we'll have to rely on our 'Troll's Dick' guild to deal with the enemy! Hia hahaha"

"The boss is right!!"

The burly man walking towards us had a very arrogant laugh, and a club-shaped guild emblem tattooed on his chest, making him look somewhat sleazy.

The others around them were also all smiling. The insignia on their bodies were all different and not uniform, so they were obviously not from the same dark guild, but were all subordinate guilds of the Oración Seis.

However, these guys clearly didn't have much respect for the Oración Seis, and none of them paid any attention to Angel lying to the side. Instead, they were more interested in Cana.

This is an enemy that even the Oración Seis couldn't defeat! If they can win, wouldn't that mean they're even more powerful than the Oración Seis? They could brag about it for the rest of their lives! As for whether they ganged up on each other, who cares!

In the eyes of these mages, Cana and her companions were nothing more than a flock of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They were either lacking in magic power, physically weak, or old women and young girls. It was truly incomprehensible how the Oración Seis could lose to such trash.

Hmm! Looks like the Oración Seis) isn't so great after all! Hehehe

Meanwhile, behind this group of dark mages, a red-haired man staggered out from the depths of the forest, only to be blocked by a large group of people, all he could see were the backs of heads.

"Huh? Why are there so many people here? Did I go the wrong way again? I remember there shouldn't be anything around here." Gildarts scratched his head in a daze, then gently patted the shoulder of the last mage with a mohawk.

(￣.￣): "Hey buddy, can I ask you something? Do you know how to get to Magnolia?"

(╬￣皿￣): "Huh? Who are you, uncle? Huh? Can't you see we're busy here? Huh? What are you going to Magnolia for? Huh?"

(￣.￣): "Ah, sorry to bother you. I'm a mage from Fairy Tail, I'm heading back to the guild, but I seem to be lost. Could you please give me directions?"

Mohawk (ŏ_ŏ)...ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ "Holy crap! There's a Fairy Tail mage here!! Brothers, let's get him!!"

A roar brought Gildarts back to his senses, and then he saw a group of strangely shaped mages rushing towards him. Before Gildarts could even ask any questions, these dark mages began to announce their identities one after another, shouting louder and louder, as if they wanted everyone to know that they had killed a Fairy Tail mage.

Gildarts pondered for a moment, then finally realized what was happening.

￣▽￣: "Oh! So you're the enemies!"

Boom!!

In that instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split open. The ground, along with all sorts of miscellaneous things on it, exploded with a deafening roar. Soil, wood chips, flesh and blood all turned into small cubes that flew everywhere.

Those dark mages standing further back were all terrified, their legs trembling, and they frantically tried to turn and run away, but before they could take more than a few steps, they exploded into pieces with a bang.

Gildarts strolled among the various small cubes, his ever-present warm smile gone, replaced by a chilling gaze. The disintegration magic he was now using was no longer the kind he used to tease Eleven; it was real magic capable of killing.

As his magic swept across, countless dark mages instantly turned into cubes of flesh and blood, without even a chance to utter a scream.

More and more blocks piled up beneath his feet, but Gildarts showed no sign of stopping, relentlessly pushing forward. Did he really think Fairy Tail was a guild anyone could bully? Did he really think Magnolia was a place he could come and go as he pleased?

When someone bullies you right to your doorstep, everyone has the right to be angry!

The commotion at the rear of the group quickly reached Cana and her companions. Although they didn't know what had happened, the dark mages instinctively became uneasy, sensing the threat of death.

"It's Gildarts! Great, Gildarts is back!"

Cana was the first to get excited. She was all too familiar with that magic. Although it was much more violent than usual, it was definitely Gildarts.

Haha, as expected of Gildarts! He single-handedly broke into a group of over a thousand people. Now that Gildarts is back, they should be safe, right?

Cana was just about to relax when she tensed up again. The uneasy black mages suddenly charged at them.

Although they don't know what terrifying entity is behind the group, it must be someone from Fairy Tail's side. So, as long as they capture these weak guys as hostages, they definitely still have a chance to turn the tables.

That's what those dark mages planned.

However, although their ideas were quite appealing, they never had the chance to put them into practice.

The moment they took their first step, several enormous magic circles suddenly rose up beneath their feet without warning, enveloping them completely.

Sleep Magic - Illusion, Dreamland!

The dark mages, who had just been howling, suddenly collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their souls, falling into a deep sleep and suffocating in the most painful dream.

A man, whose entire body was covered by a cloak except for a slit in the eye area, slowly emerged from the shadows.

"You are... Mystogan?"

Cana exclaimed in surprise, while Wendy and Loke looked completely bewildered, mainly because Mystogan's attire didn't look like that of a good person at all. In fact, Cana had never met Mystogan before; she only guessed that this guy looked similar to Eleven's description.

Mystogan nodded to Cana as a greeting, then turned and walked towards Magnolia without saying anything, intending to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Not long after, Gildarts crashed through a tree and emerged from the forest with a bang. Although the scene behind him was as terrifying as a hellish inferno, he was spotless and still looked quite flamboyant. He grinned at Cana and the others.

"Hey, sorry, I'm back now. Are you all alright?"

Cana and her companions were still in a daze. Looking around, the thousands of people and dozens of dark guilds who had been standing there just moments before were now gone! Not a single one of them was still breathing!
