Chapter 569 A woman who wants to get married is quite terrifying!
On the western side of the Principality of Veronica, there is an activity square built on a high place.
The square is paved with flat, wide stone bricks, on which basic facilities such as fountains, stone benches, and pavilions are scattered.
In the center stands a tall stone statue with a majestic face, which is the first king who established the duchy.
Because it is the anniversary of the founding of the nation, many local performances will be held here. In addition, the open location offers a panoramic view of most of the capital city.
Naturally, this place has become a famous must-visit spot for tourists.
At the edge of the less crowded square, Gray stood with one hand on his hip and one foot on the base of the guardrail, casually looking down at the bustling street scene below.
Generally speaking, possessing all the characteristics of being handsome, having a perfect body, and having a cool demeanor, one can attract lustful girls wherever they go, instantly turning them into auto-targeting modes.
However, Gray's situation is somewhat unique—he is bisexual.
Tourists passing by couldn't help but glance at him a couple of times, then look surprised, mutter a disgusted "pervert" under their breath, and hurriedly leave.
That's right, after completing the card arrangement, Gray's clothes also disappeared.
The rounded, curved buttocks gleamed in the sunlight, the reflected light perfectly concealing the vital parts.
"So why did you insist on coming along?" Gray withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at the only blue-haired girl standing beside him.
"Because, because Juvia is a candidate for the strongest squad~"
Juvia's breathing seemed a little rapid, there appeared to be blood in her nostrils, and her eyes were fixed on Gray.
As a girl, she didn't unleash her most primal form, but in response to Lord Gray, she changed into the sexy swimsuit that had been prepared beforehand.
A chibi version of Lucy pops up: Why would you prepare something like this during a tense and dangerous special operations operation?!
You don't need to force yourself to be a candidate for the strongest squad, do you? Besides, it seems no one acknowledges your status yet.
Seeing Juvia's expression, Gray sighed deeply as if resigned to his fate, no longer showing the same disgust and avoidance as before.
Influenced by the constant displays of affection from Chase, Mira, and Erza, his once-cold exterior began to show signs of melting.
"Have Chase's cards been set up yet? I see some fights have already broken out in some places." Gray, oblivious to the disgust of the passersby around him, turned slightly and asked seriously.
With that movement, Juvia saw something incredible: "Ah!! Lord Gray—"
puff!
Before she could finish speaking, two jets of blood gushed from her nostrils, and she was thrown into the air before crashing to the ground, a rather exaggerated sight.
"Damn it! Can't you be serious for once?!" Gray finally couldn't help but scold him.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Little Gray felt a chill. He then realized with a start, "What?! Where are my clothes?!"
"This gentleman who is causing visual pollution to other tourists, please come with us."
The sound of firm footsteps grew louder as they approached. Several ducal law enforcement officers, clad in armor and wielding weapons, came closer, their faces cold.
—The most perverted performance art in Fairy Tail has finally attracted the attention of righteous citizens who reported it.
"Oh? I'm so sorry, please understand. I really didn't mean to, the clothes just flew away by themselves!" Gray quickly explained, trying to appear humble.
With a major battle imminent, I'd be doomed if I ended up in prison.
Although all unrelated personnel in the capital will eventually be removed from the battlefield, if this shameful incident were to reach Natsu and Chess's ears, they would definitely be laughed at for a month!
"I think you should explain this properly when you're in the control room," the law enforcement officer said coldly.
The clothes flew away by themselves? You're kidding me, you're such an exhibitionist who's ruining the image of the duchy!
"Hey! Hurry up and explain this to me!" Gray grabbed Juvia, who had fallen to the ground, and shook her.
"illustrate?"
Juvia gradually regained consciousness, glanced at the anxious Gray, and said with hearts in her eyes, "Lord Gray's naked body is amazing!"
Gray: "...
"It seems the report was incorrect; there's more than one pervert." The law enforcement officer said with certainty.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem very willing to cooperate, they stopped talking and raised their weapons, preparing to use force to forcibly take the two perverts away.
Normally, it wouldn't be a problem; we'd just ask why and then expel them. But today is the anniversary of the founding of the Principality of Veronica, and there are so many tourists watching. If they don't put on a show, they'll be punished by their superiors.
What's more, His Highness also said that this year's program is a super big show that far surpasses previous years!
"What a heartless law enforcement officer!"
Seeing that the other party was pressing closer, Gray sighed helplessly, glancing at the bustling street below the railing out of the corner of his eye.
There was no other way; to ensure the success of the campaign against the Gates of Hell (and to avoid being ridiculed), we had to flee.
However, just as he was preparing to bring Juvia along for a "freakish outburst" of activity, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his hand almost reflexively formed an ice-shaped magic circle. Then he opened his arms: "Ice—"
Make: IceShield!
The temperature around them plummeted, and a giant shield made of hard ice appeared behind the law enforcement team.
"call out."
Almost simultaneously, accompanied by the demon's low and brief notes, a dark gale howled out, tearing through the floor tiles and attacking straight from behind!
Boom!!
Ice shards flew everywhere, and a black gale slammed into the newly formed ice shield, then split into two streams.
The terrifying destructive force crushed the fences on both sides and the surrounding ground to shreds!
Although Gray hastily activated his ice shield to block the attack, the enforcement team was still knocked to the ground by the shockwave.
"What happened?"
"That was just now—"
As the gust of wind subsided, they sat slumped on the ground and looked in the direction from which the attack had come. Amidst the scattering ice crystals, they saw a massive, burly man with orcish features walking towards them.
"You've appeared just in time, a great help, demon of the underworld." Gray stopped his pose, a smile playing on his lips.
"The Undying Storm—" Juvia also snapped out of her infatuation and stared seriously ahead.
Storm was somewhat surprised that the other party was able to discover and block his spell, which was completely different from the weak and insignificant ants he encountered when he infiltrated Fairy Tail yesterday.
However, at this moment it was mostly angry—the Hades Maldo refused its request to tear Chesleya to pieces.
"It's you guys, isn't it—the damn woman's accomplices who dared to spit on me!"
I'll smear my saliva on you?
Upon hearing this, Gray and Juvia's tense expressions suddenly turned strange, as if they wanted to laugh.
Hmm, that's the kind of thing Chase would do!
They had already witnessed the storm within the guild and knew that it used "sound effect spells" capable of creating various calamities.
"After the pervert, now it's another mysterious orc? Daring to use magic in public, you're arrested—"
Without giving the reckless law enforcement team a chance to finish speaking, Gray immediately activated his card magic.
In the blink of an eye, all the humans in the area vanished, and were transported into the cards, staring at each other blankly.
"We should be the ones saying that."
Having finished his preparations, Gray looked up at the storm, his hands hanging at his sides radiating cold air. "That bastard who stole our most important partner!"
"Give me back, Acreia!" Juvia played along with her man's act.
"Give it back? Heh, you won't have the chance!" The storm sneered, bursting forth with raging winds and thunder.
Boom!
The clash between magic and spells exploded in the empty event square!
Central urban area.
What should have been the liveliest place was now deserted, resembling a desolate wasteland.
The aroma of snacks wafting from both sides of the street, along with the scattered magic carpets and toys, proves that the previous bustling atmosphere was not an illusion.
Erza, dressed in her usual armor, walked out of the clothing store with a satisfied yet slightly shy smile on her face.
She was hoping to try her luck and find a suitable new suit of armor, but to her complete surprise, she actually bought the perfect wedding dress she had been longing for!
"I really want to wear it and show it to Chess soon! Wait, that guy hasn't even formally proposed to me yet!"
Erza uncontrollably fantasized about that wonderful scene, trying to convince herself, "But it should be fine if we do it secretly, right? That woman Mira definitely isn't prepared!"
Boom boom boom!
The explosions coming from all directions interrupted her train of thought.
The shyness and anticipation of acquiring such an important treasure dissipated, and the Fairy Queen's expression gradually regained its proper heroic and serious demeanor.
"It's faster than I expected. I wonder how things are going with the demons of the underworld, and with Chess, and the old man and the others—"
She sensed the fluctuations in the fighting, which is why she cleared out the surrounding people in advance, after paying for the wedding dress.
As she was pondering, Erza paused, then made a very clean and swift slight turn to the side.
Whoosh!
A sharp sword aura swept in from the end of the street, grazing her body, shaving off a few strands of crimson hair, and then cleaving a building further away in two!
"So, my opponent is you, Doji-giri Ethel who uses the cursed sword."
Erza glanced sideways at the direction from which the sword energy was coming.
There stood a burly demon with four strong arms and six dark octopus tentacles.
"Fairy Tail mage, do you recognize me?"
Ethel shook his four arms, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked on in surprise.
It doesn't recall its intelligence being leaked. Could it be that damned human, Crawford?
Erza didn't say much. At this moment, all she wanted was to end the battle with Tartaros as soon as possible, and then put on her wedding dress for Chase in front of Mira.
In just a few minutes, this seemed to have become her "obsession".
then----
"Change outfit! Heavenly Wheel Armor!"
A transformation array flashed by, and the normal armor transformed into the Heavenly Wheel Armor with four steel wings, "Heavenly Wheel: Blazing Sword!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless longswords were instantly summoned, their blades flashing with a cold light, and they bombarded Ethel in a barrage of attacks.
"A swordsman? Your luck is truly terrible, running into me of all people!"
Ethel stood confidently in place, not immediately dodging or casting a spell, but waiting until the chaotic sword was almost upon him before bending his four arms and leaping high into the air, shouting, "The Five Great Swords of the World - Onimaru!"
Amidst the flashing blades and raining down swords, the cross-shaped slashes crisscrossed, effortlessly breaking and shattering all the swords in the sky!
"Enjoy the experience from the devil—Pfft!!"
While suspended in mid-air, Ethel was quite satisfied with her power, but before she could finish her sarcastic remarks, her vision was covered by a dark shadow.
A serrated greatsword, accompanied by a chaotic storm, swung down, knocking it from the air and slamming it into the street below, creating a deep crater riddled with cracks!
"Sorry, I don't have the energy to listen to your arguing right now."
Erza, clad in the Infernal Armor, landed smoothly, her serrated greatsword slamming into the ground with a loud thud.
A gentle breeze stirred her long, crimson hair, highlighting the fairy queen's unique heroic spirit and charm.
Under normal circumstances, she might have played along out of curiosity about the demon's power, or even, due to some uncontrollable factors, staged a delightful scenario of being initially thwarted and then turning the tables.
Unfortunately, Ethel came at the wrong time—a woman who has the idea of getting married is quite a scary one!
East side street.
Boom!
The violent collision between Celestial Magic and Ice Demon Slayer Magic sent three figures flying out from the shockwave and standing firmly on the cracked ground.
"Oh wow? I never knew Protoss magic could have such amazing uses."
Silver raised his hand to brush the dust off his armor, looking with interest at Lucy, who was wearing the Scorpio Star Spirit Robe, and Loki, the Leo, who was striking a cool pose beside her.
Although there was no immediate pressure, Lucy's transformation compared to when she was in Devil Village still deeply impressed him.
A more apt description is that they transformed from old farmers who only knew how to brute force with a hoe into powerful warriors who were fully armed and experienced in combat!
"See? It really works without Loki!"
In contrast, Lucy seemed much more excited, even a little smug. "Could it be that Vadasi has reached the level Chesgo was at three years ago?"
After their first encounter, he was surprised to find himself evenly matched with the guy he once considered a monster!
"It might be a little premature to draw conclusions now, Lucy." Golden light gathered in Loki's palm, and he stood ready.
"Oh dear, this is really a bit of a problem. It feels like I'm being looked down upon."
"Little girl, don't forget, I am one of the Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld—"
Whoosh!
As if to verify Loki's words, Silver, who was scratching his head and chuckling just a second ago, suddenly narrowed his eyes and unleashed an incredibly powerful and terrifying aura!
The earth trembled violently, and howling winds tore at the armor and cloaks, causing them to flutter wildly.
His silver eyes glowed with a scarlet light, and he stood in the raging torrent of deep purple like a demon from hell!
"Silver at absolute zero!"
