Meanwhile, the Phantom Lord Guild, also located in the town of Magnolia.
At this very moment, a banquet is also being held.
However, compared to the banquet held within Fairy Tail to welcome newcomers...
The event held inside Phantom Lord was actually a grand celebration of the guild's impending declaration of war against Fairy Tail.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain.
Similarly, the town of Magnolia is indeed one of the most prosperous towns in the Kingdom of Fiore.
However, no matter how Yamato and prosperous a small town may be.
However, supporting two large, top-tier guilds is clearly beyond their capabilities.
Especially Phantom Lord, which is far superior to Fairy Tail, a guild with little ambition.
Over the years, Jose has used his tough tactics to not only establish a foothold in the town of Magnolia, but also to wrestle with Fairy Tail and snatch food from their jaws.
Furthermore, they established numerous Phantom Lord outside of the town of Magnolia.
This rapid expansion indeed made the Phantom Lord the most powerful force for a time.
However, the number of quests a small town can generate might even generate a surplus for a guild.
However, using it to support two guilds at the same time is still a bit of a stretch.
It was for this very reason that Jose, as the Phantom Lord, had long wanted to eradicate Fairy Tail completely.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough profit to make Xia make this decision.
However, this time, someone was deliberately sacrificing their life for the one who was dozing off.
"Haha, Brother Gajeel, I heard you just threw a huge iron pillar straight towards the Fairy Tail Guild."
"This move will probably terrify the Fairy Tail members."
"Who knows, maybe three, five, or seven unlucky souls will get crushed to death!"
"Haha, why didn't you say that the entire guild got smashed to death? That would have saved us a lot of trouble."
"..."
The guild hall suddenly erupted in excitement.
Within the Phantom Lord, a guild where the strong prey on the weak.
Might makes right.
Gajeel, currently known as the Iron Dragon Slayer, is hailed as the strongest being after the Guild Master.
Who wouldn't want to latch onto such a powerful figure?
Flattery doesn't cost a penny; you can say a few more words of it.
Why not say a few words about this kind of flattery that shows he lacks nothing?
"Heh, Gajeel, it seems you've won the hearts of the entire guild. My judgment was indeed excellent; otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered such a gem."
Wearing a purple robe with two bat wings on his back, a monocle, and red hair, Jose leaned on his cane and said with a mocking smile.
"What they said earlier was a bit of an exaggeration, but I believe your attack should have given them a lot of trouble."
"It's hard to say, they're still completely confused. After all, the Fairy Tail people are all a bunch of mediocre people!"
" Jose Cerf is right!"
The hundreds of people in the room burst into laughter and joined in.
Gajeel, sitting on the bench with his legs crossed and his legs propped up on the table, couldn't help but smile with amusement.
That attack was powerful enough to prevent the Fairy Tail Guild members from detecting the magical fluctuations.
Gajeel chose to attack from an extremely long distance.
Although this situation may prevent you from getting the final result immediately.
However, Gajeel believed that the Fairy Tail members would definitely not be able to detect and react in time.
However, the moment the thought crossed their minds, the tightly closed door was suddenly flung open.
A guild member rushed in and said urgently.
" Jose Master Serf, something terrible has happened! Brother Gajeel's attack was just slashed away with a single blow. Did Brother Gajeel deliberately hold back...?"
The huge guild hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The smiles that were once on their faces and the flattering words that were about to come out of their mouths suddenly became awkward and difficult to navigate.
Just a moment ago, they were uttering one flattering remark after another with complete impatience.
I was worried that I might have said too little.
Unfortunately, faced with the current situation, I suddenly realized that all those flattering words I had just spoken were now meaningless.
Did they become slaps, merciless blows to Gajeel's face?
Thinking about this, many people couldn't help but swallow hard.
Even Jose, the guild leader, looked a little embarrassed.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, the guild member who had tipped them off turned pale and stammered.
"Brother Gajeel, I really didn't see wrong. That iron pillar flew in and was immediately chopped off."
"That iron pillar is still standing intact in front of the Fairy Tail Guild gate!"
"You were slashed out unscathed?" Gajeel stood up with a cold laugh.
"Is that Erza? I didn't expect her to have grown to this extent."
As Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail are mortal enemies, Gajeel is well aware of every formidable target among them.
Apart from Gildarts, who has remained silent, and the aloof Laxus.
Ranking third is undoubtedly Erza, who is known as the Titania.
"Hehe, Gajeel, don't take it to heart. If Erza was the one who cut down the iron pillar, it wouldn't be surprising," Jose said with a dry laugh.
"After all, there are only a few people in Fairy Tail who are worth taking seriously. If even someone like Erza, who has been trained for so long, can't withstand such a rudimentary attack."
"I'm afraid you're not even worth Gajeel's attention!"
Gajeel smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, " Jose Serf, you're right."
"Within Fairy Tail, there are only a few who deserve our attention. Even if I personally take action, only Erza and a handful of others are worth a second glance."
"As for the others, they're utter trash!"
Hearing this, the surrounding members were about to join in the laughter.
However, just as this thought formed in his mind, an unexpected voice rang out again.
"No, I just inquired, and the person who cut down the iron pillar seems to be a new recruit from the Fairy Tail Guild, someone they just hired today."
The informant who had rushed back spoke, panting heavily.
In an instant, a murderous glint appeared in everyone's eyes.
Everyone really wants to swear.
If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.
The flattery I just gave was misplaced, and now a newcomer has appeared.
Is this something they're trying to tell the whole world?
You, Gajeel, are not even as good as a newbie!
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Gajeel crushed the wine glass in his hand.
The next moment, he appeared like a ghost in front of the panting eyeliner.
With a sudden clench of his right hand, the five fingers transformed into an iron pillar, which slammed down heavily towards her.
Bang!
The eyeliner was knocked away and rolled more than ten meters away, immediately coughing up blood and on the verge of death.
The main gate was also blown to pieces, leaving the entire hall in complete silence.
Unfortunately, everyone present seemed to have grown accustomed to all of this, except for Gajeel, who spoke with a ferocious expression.
"Good, very good. I didn't expect Fairy Tail Guild to produce such an interesting newcomer."
"However, I'm curious to know if he'd be so imposing facing ten, or even a hundred, iron pillars!"
