"You couldn't possibly have any other reason, could you? It had to be because of a woman! You lecherous old man!"
Ywen shot back at the enraged Gildarts without giving an inch.
"While it is indeed because of a woman, it's absolutely not what you think!"
"I came here because a beautiful woman asked me to—because she entrusted me with a job, you damn brat!"
"And I've put up with you for long enough! I'm only in my thirties, and I'm still several years away from forty, so I'm not an old man yet! It's common sense that a man can only be called an old man after he turns forty! Damn it! Remember that!"
Veins bulged on Gildarts's forehead as he roared at Ywen.
"Turning thirty doesn't necessarily make someone an old man, but you are unquestionably an old man! You lecherous old man!"
Ywen showed Gildarts no mercy and continued firing back.
Going by Gildarts's logic, once he turned forty, he would definitely start saying things like, "It's common sense that a man can only be called an old man after turning fifty! Damn it!"
So Ywen had no intention of indulging this lecherous bastard at all...
"Brat, I get it now! You want to fight, don't you?!"
Gildarts had finally figured it out. This brat was trying to provoke him.
"A fight? Bring it on! I'll settle the score from the ice field right now!"
Ywen loosened up, the magic power within his body surging and boiling.
And upon closer inspection, the Fairy Tail guild emblems on Ywen and Gildarts lit up once more with a faint glow~
Their emotions continued to rise as well...
"Then let's see what you've got, brat!"
"When I punch you so hard you cry, don't go running home to your mommy~"
As Gildarts said this, he put on an utterly smug expression.
"Heh..."
Ywen merely gave a cold laugh in response to Gildarts's taunt.
For a moment, magic power churned violently between the two of them!
In an instant, Ywen and Gildarts had entered Fairy Tail mode...
"You two, stop it right now!"
Makarov tried to stop the magic-power-charged Gildarts and Ywen.
However, it was as though Gildarts and Ywen had not heard him. Both stared straight at each other.
"Damn it, they can't hear anything anymore!"
Cold sweat ran down Makarov's forehead as he looked at Gildarts and Ywen, who were completely unable to hear him.
The next second...
Gildarts and Ywen collided, and a terrifying blast of air spread outward from between them.
"This is bad!"
The terrible gust forced Makarov to push the guards behind him and retreat far away from Ywen and Gildarts, terrified that even a stray shockwave from their clash might reach Councilor Toki Andarba.
Honestly, if Councilor Toki Andarba had not been there, Makarov would certainly have found a way to intervene and stop Ywen and Gildarts. But a contest of magic power between all three of them would inevitably affect the guards...
"Infighting?!"
At the same time, the released criminals were all dumbfounded as they watched Ywen and Gildarts squaring off, having no idea what was happening.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
"I'm your opponent, damn it!"
Doramu's eyes bloodshot as he looked at Ywen and Gildarts glaring each other down. He was no nobody! Yet he was being ignored now—he simply could not stand it!
Unfortunately, at that moment, Ywen and Gildarts had no room in their eyes for anyone but each other!
"Bastards! Then all of you can die!"
When Doramu realized his words had done nothing and Ywen and Gildarts were still ignoring him, he roared and turned into a blur as he charged toward them.
"Watch out!"
Seeing Doramu rushing toward them, Councilor Toki immediately warned Ywen and Gildarts.
"Hahaha..."
"Your heads are mine!"
Laughing wildly, Doramu raised the spear in his hand at Ywen and Gildarts.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Yet before Doramu could attack, Ywen and Gildarts—who had been facing each other down—swung around and struck at him.
BOOM!!
Ywen and Gildarts each threw a punch. Doramu's armor instantly shattered, blood sprayed from his eyes and ears, and he tumbled to the ground, completely unconscious.
"Hey, hey, hey, you've got to be kidding me?!"
"That S-Class Criminal, the super murderous maniac Doramu, was taken out with a single punch?!"
"These two... there was no need to worry about them at all!"
"They're complete and utter monsters!"
Councilman Toki stared wide-eyed at Doramu, who had been instantly defeated, before finally breaking into a bitter smile.
"Father! Damn you, we won't forgive you!"
Watching Doramu fall, every member of the Gojobashi Family went mad and charged at Ywen and Gildarts.
"Do you want to interfere with our fight too?"
Ywen and Gildarts looked at the approaching Gojobashi Family. Without wasting a word, they swung their fists at the same time, and the dozens of Gojobashi Family members instantly collapsed to the ground.
"I—I remember now..." At that moment, one of the criminals who had just been released from the black cell looked at the Gojobashi Family, who had been defeated in an instant, as if he had recalled something. He raised a trembling finger, pointed at Gildarts, and said, "That's the bastard mage known as the strongest in the west—someone who has nothing going for him except his strength! Gildarts!"
"Huh?!"
Gildarts had been quite pleased when he heard the criminal call him the strongest in the west, but when he heard him describe him as a bastard mage with nothing to offer besides strength, his brows furrowed as his anger began to build.
That Dark Guild mage was talking complete nonsense. Aside from his strength, Gildarts obviously also had looks worthy of that strength—looks everyone adored!
"I've heard of him too! They say his favorite thing to do is peep into women's bathhouses! Even though he's a Light Guild mage, everything he does is so low-class that even Dark Guild mages would look down on it!"
Someone else added.
"Yeah! Yeah!"
The others immediately began to chime in. It seemed they had all heard rumors about Gildarts.
"Are you done talking?!"
Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, Gildarts had somehow appeared behind them and returned to the black cell where he had originally been.
"Uh..."
The criminals all fell silent as they looked at Gildarts.
"If you're done, then be on your way together!"
"Evil-Shattering Righteousness: One Day!!"
As Gildarts spoke, he threw a punch at the criminals!
"Ah!!"
Terrifying magic power swept across every mage, blasting all the criminals present into the air and letting them intimately kiss the ceiling~
Yet the white fist unleashed by that punch did not stop! Its target was Ywen, standing beneath everyone.
"Heh..."
"Gravity Fist: Fierce Tiger!"
Ywen sneered at the fist condensed from magic power as it came hurtling toward him. Endless Gravity Waves and Demon-Slaying Power gathered around his fist!
The next instant, a massive fierce tiger appeared behind Ywen. Roaring, it charged toward Gildarts's Evil-Shattering Righteousness: One Day!
"Boom!"
The instant Ywen's fist collided with Gildarts's fist through the air, the immense magic power sent every criminal who had just fallen from the sky flying once more—not a single one was spared!
Even the floating magic prison began to shake violently!
Cracks continued spreading across it, as though it were about to shatter...
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Even our prison is about to collapse!"
"Even a prison made of Magic-Sealing Stone can't withstand the two of them fighting? What absurd combat power!"
"By the way, Magic-Sealing Stone has gone up in price, right? Who knows how much this is going to cost?!"
The guards stared at the ever-cracking prison in shock.
"Money?"
"Waaah~"
Makarov had not heard anything said before that, but he heard the word "money." Watching Ywen and Gildarts wreak havoc without regard for the prison, he immediately burst into tears.
His heart was bleeding. How much compensation would this cost?!
