Beat the Mayor to Death, Enrage the Guild Master to Death?
As the sun began to set, through the continuous testing of Mira, Elfman, and Hughes, they finally figured out the abilities of Elfman's new form.
In short, to put it simply, Elfman gained two more arms...
Yes, these two demon arms, which were received from Dojigiri, have neither special attributes nor the ability to unleash Demon Blade Curse!
It's like Elfman using magic to give himself two more arms!
Elfman looked up at Mira, then down at himself, his face full of disappointment.
I'm so envious of Mira!
Seeing this, Hughes patted him on the shoulder. "The Dojigiri's ability isn't anything special. Once you're stronger, I'll find you a few Beast King to take over!"
"Furthermore, from another perspective, having two more arms means you can do housework faster in the future."
"Yes! Elfman, you can sweep and mop at the same time! You can also wash and wring out clothes at the same time!" Lisanna chimed in.
Elfman:...
Lisanna was supposed to do all these chores. Could this guy be planning to dump them all on me later?
Hughes didn't say much... well, he was kind of curious to see Elfman work in this state!
At this moment, Mira nudged Hughes, then lightly tapped her own cheek. "Hughes... you..."
Oh, you mean this!
Under the curious gazes of the three little ones, Hughes shook his head and transformed back into his original form.
Just treat this as Transformation Magic!
"As for impersonating Jose..."
Hughes didn't hide anything; he opened his mouth and, with saliva flying everywhere, told everything.
The three little ones were stunned for a moment, then after a while, they put four thumbs up in front of Hughes to show their admiration.
Hughes accepted the gift without the slightest embarrassment.
While the four were joking around, the atmosphere at the Phantom Lord Guild, far away in the Ogre Town, was serious.
Jose is furious!
A black mist of Death Breath permeated the entire guild, its dark and terrifying aura instilling fear in everyone, causing their bodies to tremble.
Even the usually unrestrained Gajeel didn't eat the iron at this moment.
After venting his anger, Jose, his face contorted like a vampire, glared at the wind elemental Aria: "Fairy Tail brat, do you really want us to send him banners and supplies?"
Aria nodded silently.
Hehe, hehe!
Jose sneered repeatedly, his dark purple magic almost bursting forth, causing everyone to take two steps back in suffocation.
Just as Dojigiri was about to be defeated by him, that bastard from Fairy Tail, with his sharp eyes, struck at the crucial moment, sending both him and the demon flying.
Not only did they gain a good reputation for defeating demons, but they also made a name for themselves across the continent by stepping on their own past.
Jose could already foresee that once the events in Ogre Town spread, the number of quest requests from the Phantom Lord would decrease dramatically, and the magical world's denigration of him would resurface.
I haven't even settled this score with Fairy Tail yet, and this bastard dares to extort money from me!
Then, recalling his previous battle with Makarov, he realized that he had also been ambushed by this fire-breathing brat.
Jose was instantly enraged, and his magical power surged uncontrollably throughout his body.
The next instant, accompanied by panicked screams, the ground of the Phantom Lord Guild shattered, and the dense iron pillars above turned to dust.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The Phantom Lord, an ancient guild that had been established for nearly a hundred years, was reduced to ruins in an instant.
Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, Jose Bora's voice drifted faintly through the air.
"Aria, you Element 4, come with me. I want to rebuild the Phantom Lord Guild with you Element 4 as its core."
"Heh heh, I'll show everyone what the Purgatory Shatter means!"
Meanwhile, the people in Ogre Town were already secretly talking about Jose.
Several wandering mages huddled together, and one of them whispered, "Did you guys see that just now? The Phantom Lord's headquarters collapsed. I heard it was Jose who did it!"
Another person nodded in agreement. "That's how incompetent people are; they can only vent their anger on their own people. If it weren't for the Fairy Tail guild's intervention and defeat of the demon, I doubt Jose could have even protected Ogre Town!"
"Exactly, as one of the Ten Wizard Saints," the others chimed in, "It's shameful that they couldn't even handle a single demon."
"Jose is the least deserving of being one of the Ten Wizard Saints. I will lead the resistance and resolutely refuse to join the Phantom Lord!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to the person who had spoken. "I remember you were saying you wanted to join the Phantom Lord, but they rejected you because they thought you were too weak..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the Phantom Lord, not the Phantom Lord!"
The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then dispersed with a roar, leaving behind only shouts of "Pah!" and spittle scattered on the ground...
While the Ogre Town was bustling with activity, Hughes had finished his meal and was on his way back to Magnolia Town.
They arrived in a rush, but returned without the hassle of a journey. The four of them traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping to linger at interesting and beautiful sights along the way.
Mira and Elfman both gained something from this trip, but Lisanna got nothing and even got herself into a mess.
Feeling bad about it, and considering the abundance of wild animals, Hughes casually caught a few animals of unusual size for Lisanna to receive.
Giant rabbits, eerie tits, giant hens... Lisanna was like a garbage can, accepting everything that came her way.
Each time she received a new one, Lisanna would proudly show it off to everyone.
So, the perfectly good group of four inexplicably turned into three people with a pet...
Three days later, the ever-noisy Fairy Tail guild welcomed its "true" master.
He kicked open the guild door as usual and beat Macao, who was drunk and trying to challenge him, to the ground.
Hughes clapped his hands casually and went to sit at the bar as usual.
Natsu, Gray, Marcus, and the others suddenly appeared and surrounded Hughes.
Hughes stared at the wide-open eyes, which looked as big as light bulbs, with a puzzled expression.
Why are you all looking at me like that? Did you cause trouble and now you want me to help you?
At this point, Hughes arrogantly raised his chin, displaying his swagger. "Let me tell you, with my status and strength, I only help with important matters."
For trivial matters like killing the town mayor or infuriating the association chairman, there's no need to ask for my help. I can't afford to lose face like that!
Gray and Marcus:... If we weren't outmatched by Hughes, we would definitely have brought him to his senses.
And what's wrong with Natsu? Why is he suddenly so excited and fired up?
Oh no, did this idiot actually listen to that?!
Everyone, including Hughes, turned to look at Natsu speechlessly. At that moment, they couldn't tell whether Natsu was raised by a dragon or a deaf person.
However, even more speechless than them were Makarov, who was standing outside the guild gate with a face full of black lines, and the mayor of Magnolia Town, whose forehead was dripping with cold sweat!
They all heard what Hughes just said.
