Kailinfu from the Western Continent
The deep blue magic circle acted like a shield, blocking Erza's torrent of swordplay.
Unfortunately, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Sometimes, defense means being on the defensive, trapped on one side, and unable to launch a counterattack.
With a series of cracking sounds, the sword pierced through one deep blue magic circle after another, heading straight for the terrified Kailinfu, only to vanish in an instant.
Erza appeared, closely following behind the sword. Erza flapped her steel wings and swung her twin swords downwards in a cross shape, sending an X-shaped sword beam through Kailinfu's body.
"Thump!"
Erza landed lightly, the white light unique to her Requip Magic flashed, and the magnificent Heaven's Wheel Armor on her body dissipated, restoring her original attire.
Behind Erza, Kailinfu also collapsed to the ground with a thud, her eyes tightly closed in panic, her pretty face deathly pale, her fear especially evident.
"Don't worry, I didn't hurt her. She just fainted from fright," Erza said calmly, clapping her hands.
Suddenly, a short figure appeared between Erza and Kailinfu, Hughes also stood up abruptly...
He knew the old man must have an improper relationship with Kailinfu!
Bah! An old ox grazing on tender grass!
Damn, I'm a little envious...
"Old man, I never imagined you were this kind of person!" Hughes took out the Recording Magic Crystal and shoved it into his face, looking at him with utter disappointment!
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Laxus and Granny Porlyusica!"
Makarov felt he must have committed many sins in his past life to have encountered someone like Hughes in this one.
The old man sighed, his fist suddenly growing larger. He punched Hughes into a compressed biscuit, then beckoned to Erza: "This isn't the place to talk. Erza, bring Kailinfu along and come with me."
"Gildarts, no need to hide anymore, come here too. The mayor will be here soon!"
Gildarts, who was about to see a urologist:...
The group followed the old man, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of a house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
This is the old man's house closest to the hot spring street. As for why he has a house near the hot spring street...
Sigh, those who know, know...
An old steed in its stall may still be eager to traverse mountains and rivers, but its spirit remains strong!
Hughes had barely sat down when Kailinfu, who had been tossed onto the sofa by Erza, slowly woke up.
He caught a glimpse of her with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at him warily.
Hughes, sitting opposite Kailinfu, immediately raised an eyebrow at her, sniffed the air, and smiled with satisfaction.
"It's too late. I did everything I could have done when you collapsed..."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish her teasing words, Mira's little hand suddenly landed on Hughes's head.
Hughes: →_→
Can't you let him finish speaking? Can't you let him finish speaking?
Hughes half-sat up and, feigning anger, pressed his forehead against Mira's.
Mira, who was sitting next to Hughes and pretending to be nonchalant, suddenly staggered backward.
"Smack!"
A giant fist suddenly shot out, Hughes transformed back into a compressed biscuit.
Three seconds later...
Hughes calmly sat back down, rubbing his slightly unkempt head... Oh well, a magnanimous person won't hold a grudge; he'll let them off the hook for now...
Seeing that no one was causing any more trouble, Makarov coughed twice and said, "Kailinfu, you and Hughes have really gotten into trouble this time. The whole town is talking about you two!"
At this point, the old man's voice suddenly grew louder, almost roaring.
"You're all grown men, can't you think things through before you act?!"
The people in Hot Spring Town who were frightened by you have united to put pressure on me and the mayor.
The mayor and I can help you suppress this matter, but we hope this is the last time.
Kailinfu, figure out how to clarify your negative comments about Hughes tomorrow!
As for you Hughes...
Makarov wanted to advise Hughes to behave himself and stop causing trouble, but then he thought about what Hughes had done in the Magic Council...
Makarov:(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
Advice? What good is advice anyway!
The likelihood that Zeref and the Black Dragon would deliberately come to beat him up is infinitely higher than that Hughes would listen to his advice.
Hughes gave Makarov a strange look. He wanted to hear what his boss had to say to him, so why did he stop when he got to Makarov?
"Looking annoyed, what's wrong, going through menopause?"
Before Hughes could finish speaking, Mira, anticipating his words, pounced and forcefully covered Hughes mouth with her pale hand.
"Some things can hurt people if you say them out loud. Sit quietly, and I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow!" Mira whispered.
Hughes:...
Why does this feel like something you'd use to soothe a child?
On the other side, Kailinfu pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat unconvinced. She opened her mouth slightly as if to speak, but Makarov, still angry, glared at her directly.
"If you don't cooperate, I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Alakitasia Continent!"
Upon hearing Makarov's words, Kailinfu immediately shut her mouth obediently. The resentment on her face vanished in an instant, and she sat up straight, assuring him, "Don't worry, I'll issue a clarification statement first thing tomorrow morning and resolve everything that happened before!"
For Kailinfu, offending anyone is acceptable, but offending Makarov is absolutely unacceptable!
She left her home and traveled to the eastern continent of Ishgar in order to seek Makarov's help.
Makarov was named one of the "Ten Wizard Saints," and is one of the ten strongest individuals on the Ishgar Continent.
Only a powerful figure like her could kill the demon that destroyed their guild and avenge her parents.
In the western continent, an ancient empire called Alvarez is stirring up trouble across the entire continent.
The empire is home to many powerful individuals who roam the western continent, forcibly uniting and subjugating various mage guilds into the Alvarez Empire.
Those who disobey will become nothing more than passing clouds.
Kailinfu's parents and their guild were destroyed by the powerful figures of the Alvarez Empire for resisting.
At the time, Kailinfu was on a mission and when she returned to the guild, it was in ruins, littered with corpses.
At that moment, it felt like the sky had fallen for Kailinfu. She stood in the guild headquarters, stunned for a long time.
After suppressing his grief and collecting the remains of his parents and guild members, he traveled throughout the continent, searching for the mastermind behind it all.
Until one day, she uncovered a chilling piece of information through seemingly insignificant clues...
The guild was destroyed by a demon named Bloodman. The Alvarez Empire was actually raising demons and making them do their bidding!
"These people have gone mad!" This was the only thought in Kailinfu's mind after receiving the news.
Demons, those are demons, brutal demons that slaughter all living beings.
Kailinfu immediately set off for the Magic Council headquarters in the Western Continent, intending to use the Magic Council to make this news public.
She wanted the Magic Council to seek justice for the innocent people who had died tragically at the hands of the Alvarez Empire.
Unexpectedly, the moment she set foot in the town where the Magic Council headquarters was located, Kailinfu was so shocked that she covered her mouth and trembled all over.
The headquarters of the Magic Council of the Western Continent is gone...
Without anyone knowing, the headquarters of the Magic Council was destroyed, along with the town where Magic Council headquarters was located.
There were no survivors; the scene before my eyes was like a living hell, littered with corpses...
