Mira's Anger

Jiang Bai stared speechlessly at the serious-looking man in front of him, then chuckled.

Strange things happen every year, but there seem to be more than usual today. Why do so many people think they can solve their own problems?

"Oh? So how do you plan to deal with me?"

"Just kill you." Freed's reply was so serious that there wasn't a trace of a joke in it.

Jiang Bai's smile vanished instantly.

He was genuinely getting impatient at this point.

Are all these people mentally ill?

They're always talking about killing. If they're so capable, why don't they go kill those people outside who insult the guild every day? What kind of skill is it to just stay cooped up at home and act tough?

He didn't want to waste any more words and couldn't be bothered to say another word to this fanatic.

However, just as he was about to take direct action to eliminate this troublesome situation, Jiang Bai sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar magical power rapidly gathering around him.

It's Mira!

Mirajane stood right next to Jiang Bai. When she heard Freed casually say, "As long as I kill you, that's all that matters," she knew that with Jiang Bai's strength, Freed couldn't even touch a hair on his head.

But who would allow someone to say they want to kill the person they care about most in front of them?

Since her sister Lisanna "disappeared" from this world, her brother Elfman and the man in front of her have been her only two pillars of support.

Therefore, when Freed uttered that outrageous remark, it was Mirajane was the first to fly into a rage.

That long-suppressed anger, the determination to protect, and the deep love for the man before her were like a key, instantly unlocking the long-sealed door to her heart.

"Take Over the Satan Soul!"

Amidst a towering pillar of magical light, Demon Mirajane who once struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies, has returned!

She slowly emerged from the light, her demonic wings unfurling behind her, her sharp tail swaying gently, and her once azure eyes now a cold, crimson.

She didn't even glance at Jiang Bai; her gaze was fixed intently on Freed.

"Xiao Bai, you go first!"

Her voice became deep and alluring, yet carried an undeniable killing intent.

"I'm going to... give him a good beating."

Seeing this, Jiang Bai not only didn't stop it, but laughed happily instead.

He knew that his Mira had finally completely emerged from the shadows of the past.

He turned away gracefully, leaving behind the words, "Just leave him a breath," before disappearing from the spot.

He was going to the cathedral to settle another score.

In the original story, Mystogan, who was supposed to rush back from elsewhere to stop Laxus, did not return this time.

Because he knew very well that with Jiang Bai in charge of the guild, no matter how much trouble Laxus caused, it wouldn't ultimately lead to any problems.

Magnolia Cathedral.

When Jiang Bai appeared at the church entrance, Laxus slowly stood up.

Jiang Bai, you've finally arrived!

"Laxus," Jiang Bai said calmly, looking at him.

"If you want to fight me, just say so. Why go through all this trouble?"

"Because I don't want that kind of childish fighting!" Laxus Roar.

"What I want is a life-or-death struggle! What I want is a major overhaul of the guild!"

"Everyone in the guild thinks you're stronger than me, everyone only sees you! Since that's the case, then I'll defeat you in front of everyone first!"

Jiang Bai shook his head. "A life-or-death battle? You can't even sense the true difference in strength between us. You have no chance."

Laxus was furious when he saw Jiang Bai's relaxed and carefree expression.

This wasn't the Jiang Bai he wanted to see! He wanted to see Jiang Bai panicked and giving it his all!

Then, he did something that surprised everyone.

"Thunder Palace!"

With his roar, the weather above Magnolia changed drastically!

Three hundred enormous Magic Crystals, imbued with the power of lightning, appeared out of thin air above the town, slowly rotating to form a giant lightning array that enveloped the entire city!

That terrifying surge of magical energy was enough to completely destroy the town, along with all its inhabitants, in an instant!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Bai's expression indeed changed.

It wasn't because I found it difficult, but because I was lamenting my fate.

"Has it really come to this...?"

He could have stopped Laxus before he could activate the spell, but he didn't.

Because he knew that even if he stopped it this time, there would be a next time.

Since that's the case, we might as well take this opportunity to make this guy, who's blinded by jealousy, finally see reality.

Of course, this is on the premise that you are fully capable of covering your losses.

Inside the guild, Makarov was completely stunned to see his own grandson unleash this forbidden magic.

If it were just a matter of sparking an internal guild war, he could swallow his pride and beg everyone to give Laxus another chance to stay in the guild.

But now, Laxus has turned his sword directly on the unarmed ordinary residents of the town!

An indescribable anger and heartache, like the most potent poison, instantly shattered his last line of psychological defense.

Makarov felt a sharp pain in his heart, his vision went black, and he collapsed straight down.

"Hey! Grandpa! What's wrong?!"

Levy had just rewritten the spell for Natsu was about to rush out and make a big splash when he saw Makarov fall to the ground.

He no longer cared about settling scores with Laxus and rushed to the old man's side.

Makarov clutched his heart, his face contorted in pain, unable to utter a single word.

Levy was so anxious that tears almost fell. She shouted at Natsu, "Natsu! Go quickly! Go and call Granny Porlyusica over here!"

Natsu rushed off to fetch Grandma Porlyusica, and on the way, he told his companions that something had happened to the old man and that they should stop fighting.

Gray, who was wrestling with Elfman, immediately released his grip upon hearing this. The two exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and immediately turned and sprinted towards the guild.

Throughout the town, guild members who had been locked in fierce combat just moments before stopped fighting without hesitation upon hearing the news of their guild leader's fall.

Enemy? Opponent? Victory or Defeat?

At this moment, none of that matters anymore.

They rushed back like madmen, their faces filled with panic and self-reproach.

Soon, when Granny Porlyusica was hurriedly invited over, the guild hall was already packed with people again.

This time, however, there was none of the usual noise and laughter.

Everyone stood silently around him, their expressions grave as they looked at Makarov lying on the hospital bed. The entire guild was plunged into a suffocating silence.

As a competent guild leader, Makarov had already subtly instilled a sense of "home" in everyone in the guild.

And now, the pillar supporting this family has collapsed.

After carefully examining Makarov's body, Granny Porlyusica stood up, looked at the group of dejected children around her, and her face was full of anger and disappointment at their lack of ambition.

"Makarov is consumed by rage!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it lashed at everyone's heart like a whip.

"You bunch of brats, can't you just put him at ease?!"

One sentence made everyone present lower their heads in shame.

Just then, someone realized what was happening.

"Oh right! Jiang Bai and Laxus are still fighting outside!"

"Quickly! Send someone to inform them! The chairman is critically ill!"

"Holy crap!"

Without hesitation, Sarukusuke, wielding the Godspeed Magic, glanced at the guild master on the sickbed, gritted his teeth, and, enveloped in a green whirlwind of magic, transformed into a blur and dashed away.

He rushed toward the cathedral shrouded in thunderclouds at the fastest speed of his life.

He disregarded the possibility of being attacked, kicked open the heavy church door, and with all his might, shouted a desperate cry at the two figures facing off inside:

"Jiang Bai! Laxus! Stop fighting!"

"The president... is critically ill!"
