Although the voice was weak, it was powerful.
"That's right! Go back, you Phantom Lord bastard!"
Natsu stood up suddenly, the flames on his fists rising into the sky.
"If you want to take Lucy away, step over my body first!"
Gray snorted coldly, and the cold air spread all over his body.
"Fairy Tail, there has never been a tradition of betraying partners!"
All the guild members roared in unison.
The sounds gathered into an astonishing momentum, which actually shook away the fog on the sea.
"Very good."
Jose's voice became eerie.
"Since you have chosen destruction, then enjoy these fifteen minutes of despair!"
Iron Fortress made a dull roar again.
"Jupiter, charge again!"
Jose laughed wildly.
"In fifteen minutes, let's see who else can block this shot for you!"
The words just fell.
The hatch at the bottom of Iron Fortress is wide open.
Countless black, shadow-like ghost soldiers poured out.
"Phantom Soldiers!"
Mirajane's face darkened.
"That's Jose's forbidden magic. These soldiers have no entity and are very difficult to deal with!"
The densely packed Phantom Soldiers rushed towards Fairy Tail people like a tide.
"I'll take care of that cannon!"
Natsu made a quick decision and grabbed Happy's leg.
"Happy, take me and fly there!"
"Yes!"
Happy spread its wings and took Natsu into the sky, heading straight for the huge barrel.
"Let's go!"
Gray took off his shirt and put his hands on the ground.
"Frost Battle Formation!"
Large swaths of ice crystals spread across the ground, instantly freezing Phantom Soldiers who was at the forefront.
"For the guild! For the president!"
Elfman roared, and his right arm turned into a huge claw, charging into the enemy formation and opening and closing.
The battle broke out instantly.
"Mira, take Lucy to evacuate through the secret passage!"
Erza forced himself to sit up and direct the battle.
"But..."
"This is an order! Lucy is their target. As long as Lucy is safe, they will lose!"
Mirajane gritted his teeth and took Lucy's hand.
"Follow me, Lucy!"
The two of them passed through the chaotic battlefield and rushed toward the secret passage behind the guild.
However.
When they just stepped into the edge of the forest in the back mountain.
A chilling cold aura instantly locked onto them.
"You... you don't have a chance."
A hoarse, low voice with a metallic friction sound came from behind the big tree in front.
Mirajane suddenly stopped and guarded Lucy tightly behind him.
In the smoke and dust.
A tall figure walked out slowly.
His body was covered with thick bandages, and the metallic black scales shone coldly in the sunlight.
There was cruelty in those dead fish-like eyes.
Iron Dragon--Gajeel.
The air in the back mountain of Magnolia was overcast with clouds, and the air was so cold and humid that it was suffocating.
Gajeel's face covered with iron nails was filled with a ferocious smile.
He looked at the trembling Lucy in front of him, without any pity in his eyes.
"This young lady named Lucy is very easy for me to find."
Gajeel's voice is hoarse and harsh.
He took a sudden step, and the soil beneath his feet was splashed everywhere by the heavy iron boots.
His right arm underwent a sudden change, and dense black magic power surged crazily.
"Crack, click, click!"
Accompanied by the heart-wrenching sound of metal friction, his arm turned into a thick and ferocious Iron Dragon Club.
The iron rod roared loudly as it tore through the air, heading straight for Lucy who was protected behind him by Mirajane.
"Go away, you soldiers, I only want her!"
Gajeel made a sound the Roar.
He only has eyes for the target that can be exchanged for a huge bounty.
Mirajane's gentle and pretty face was filled with unprecedented determination at this moment.
She opened her arms and stood firmly in front of Lucy.
"If you want to capture Lucy, kill me first!"
Mirajane let out a shrill roar.
Her magic power has been nearly exhausted from the previous battle.
Faced with a blow that could crack mountains and crack rocks, she had no chance of evading it.
She slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
She is waiting for death to come.
However.
The sharp pain that was expected was not felt.
"Boom--!"
An extremely dull loud noise suddenly exploded in Mirajane's ears.
Immediately afterwards.
A blazing high temperature swept from the front like a tide.
The cold rain around him evaporated in an instant and turned into white mist that filled the sky.
Mirajane opened his eyes tremblingly.
A slender and tall figure stood in front of her at some point.
That was the back figure that she had been dreaming about and waiting for countless days and nights.
Lu Chongwei.
He only extended his left hand.
The hand that didn't look too big was now firmly catching the Iron Dragon Club that was enough to penetrate the city wall.
"Zi la la -"
The terrifying high temperature overflowed from between Lu Chongwei's fingers.
The moment the black Iron Dragon Club came into contact with his palm, it was burned all over.
Waves of white smoke rose up, which was the sound of metal being forcibly melted.
"Zhongwei!"
Mirajane's tears instantly burst out of his eyes and slid down his pale cheeks.
Her delicate body was trembling violently, and all the fear and pressure completely collapsed at this moment.
Lu Chongwei turned his head slightly and smiled softly.
"Ah, long wait, Mira."
His voice was soft, but there was an unquestionable domineering quality.
Immediately.
Lu Chongwei's eyes turned cold and he spoke quickly:
"Take Lucy out of here and leave this place to me."
Just then.
A golden light and shadow rushed from the woods.
"Lucy, catch it!"
Loke shouted loudly.
He waved his hand violently, and a silver stream of light drew a graceful arc in the air.
That's Lucy that was stolen from Celestial Spirit Key.
Lucy subconsciously reached out to catch it, feeling the cold touch from his fingertips.
That is her dignity as Mage, and it is also her confidence to fight again.
"The key... my key is back!"
Lucy held the key tightly, fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.
She looked at Lu Chongwei blocking the front, and her heart was filled with shock.
This man.
He actually caught Iron Dragon's attack with one hand?
"You go support the others!"
Lu Chongwei shouted without looking back.
His eyes were fixed on Gajeel, and his face completely darkened.
"I remember I said..."
Lu Chongwei's voice is horribly deep.
"If you dare to attack Fairy Tail again, I will kill you."
That terrifying spiritual pressure exploded with his words.
The surrounding trees couldn't bear the pressure and made painful snapping sounds.
Gajeel's eyes widened, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.
That's the smell of death.
He never expected that this monster imprisoned in Magic Council would actually appear here.
"Damn Jose... the information is wrong!"
Gajeel cursed secretly in his heart.
