Phantom Lord?
Erza froze, looking into the distance, but she couldn't see the apartment at all.
Not to mention, seeing anyone with ill intentions.
However, before Erza could react, Bai Yu had already vanished from his spot and sped off towards the apartment.
Erza is indeed a bit of an enigma.
However, seeing how nervous Bai Yu was, he couldn't care less and quickly turned and chased after him.
"Ah!"
Inside the apartment, a sound like a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out.
Lucy, who was lying in bed, suddenly woke up and quickly threw off the covers to peek inside.
Staring at that neatly dressed person, he stood there stunned.
"Stop looking. That guy didn't touch a hair on your head all night. He left as soon as it was light, looks like he went to training."
Aquarius's voice suddenly rang out, her lips pursed, and she smiled knowingly.
"Looks like your charm isn't enough. Otherwise, late at night, a man and a woman alone together, who could resist if nothing happened?"
"If it were me, other men would have given up long ago."
" Aquarius, shut up! I don't care about that kind of thing!" Lucy shouted, her face flushed.
However, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
As a woman, it's reassuring to not be taken advantage of when alone with a man.
However, after learning that she had been safe all night...
The other party is both handsome and wealthy.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At the very least, they might wonder if they really are that unattractive.
Seeing Lucy's slightly off expression, Aquarius chuckled and waved her hand.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste time with a brat like you. Let's talk about it when you know what a woman's pride is; it's not something you can just squeeze out."
"Also, ninety percent of your magic power is currently suppressed by the magic device, making it impossible to summon me for an extended period. You've reached your limit, so I'm leaving now."
After saying these words, Aquarius severed the magical link between herself and Lucy, and her figure gradually became ethereal.
Lucy secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the sharp-tongued Aquarius finally leave.
I was just about to lie back down on the bed and think about life some more.
Bang!
The glass window shattered upon impact.
A black figure came into view.
Holding a gleaming dagger, he swiftly thrust it at Lucy.
"Watch out Lucy!"
Aquarius's expression changed drastically; she never expected that someone would make a move at this critical juncture.
Lucy's magic was already suppressed.
Worried that Lucy and Bai Yu might develop feelings for each other late at night, Aquarius spared no effort to stay there, even at the cost of her own magic, and kept a close watch on them all night.
As she was about to retire successfully, Aquarius's magic and perception were undoubtedly at their weakest.
They had no idea that someone was hiding in the shadows and would suddenly make a move.
"Stop yelling! You can scream your lungs out, but no one will save you. I saw that guy go back to the Fairy Tail Guild with my own Mystic Eyes of Heaven, absolutely no one will know what happened here!"
The shadowy figure grinned menacingly, and the dagger he thrust out was noticeably faster.
Lucy and Aquarius turned pale instantly.
They didn't question the assassin's words at all.
In their eyes, there was no way to discover the changes here within the Fairy Tail Guild.
At the same time, the timing of their move was perfect.
Faced with this Lucy, the only thing Lucy could do was grab the pillow next to her and use it as Guard.
when!
A crisp metallic clanging sound suddenly rang out.
A series of sparks burst forth, like fireworks.
The assassin and Lucy both paused for a moment.
A right hand, as black as ink, suddenly and forcefully seized the dagger.
What splattered out wasn't blood, but rather a sky full of sparks.
Bai Yu, what brings you here!
Lucy looked at the boy beside her and said with a face full of surprise.
Aquarius, who had been holding on tightly to prevent herself from fading away, finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely disappeared into the world.
She was faced with this boy who was impossible for her to understand.
There was another thought in Aquarius's heart.
This kind of man is a terrifying enemy.
But as friends, there's an indescribable sense of security.
At least, with him around, Lucy would be surprisingly safe.
"Aren't you in the Fairy Tail Guild? How do you know what happened here?"
The assassin's expression changed, revealing a look of utter disbelief.
"Why?"
Bai Yu smiled knowingly.
"Can't you really say I have Mystic Eyes of Heaven?"
"However, you Phantom Lord, do you overestimate yourselves or underestimate me? You've only sent seven or eight people and a bunch of dark puppets?"
"You know everything!" The assassin's expression changed drastically. He quickly released the dagger in his hand, and his magic power shifted. Like a blur, he accelerated and flew out of the window, landing in the open space below.
At the same time, seven or eight assassins landed on the open ground.
There were also twenty or thirty dark puppets following around them.
If I remember correctly, these dark puppets are puppet soldiers created by Jose using magic.
They weren't particularly strong, but their sheer numbers made them excellent cannon fodder.
Their presence and support instantly shifted the balance of power in the arena towards the side of the Phantom Lord.
"It really is someone from the Phantom Lord!" Erza landed on the telephone pole outside the window, and her expression changed slightly as she looked at the scene before her.
Lucy, are you alright?
"Don't worry, I'll notify the guild immediately and have them come to our aid."
As she spoke, Erza quickly took out a magical firework for communication.
" Erza, no need. Things aren't peaceful at the guild either."
Bai Yu reached out and stopped Erza. Under the influence of his Observation Haki, hundreds of auras also appeared within the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Are Levy and the others on a mission?"
" Levy?" Erza paused for a moment, then quickly looked surprised.
" Bai Yu, are you saying they're planning to harass us and then attack Levy and the others, forcing Fairy Tail to declare war on them?"
Originally, in Erza's eyes...
No!
It should be said that, in everyone's eyes, the provocation of the Phantom Lord will indeed continue.
However, they would never dare to be so recklessly provocative.
After all, Fairy Tail and Makarov's reputation Ten Wizard Saints is undeniable.
Seven years ago, Jose was defeated by Makarov.
In this situation, Makarov and the other members were also betting that the Phantom Lord wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, the scene in the original work where Levy and her two companions formed the Team Shadow Gear and were directly nailed to a cross by Gajeel wouldn't have occurred.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you, the newcomer, to be so different."
The assassin from before sneered.
"Didn't you say last night that you would definitely protect that girl?"
"I have something to tell you: Gajeel has already made his move to intercept you. Unless you can break through now, that girl will suffer a terrible fate once you escape."
