Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 82 Joseph's Fury: All-Out War Begins!

At the same moment Gajeel fell to the ground, several figures appeared at the street corner.

Jet, looking anxious, rushed over with Erza and the others.

"What exactly is this...?"

Gray looked at the devastated streets and Gajeel with his eyes rolled back, and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"I never expected Phantom Lord to send out such a dangerous creature."

Erza recognized the attacker, her expression turning serious, tinged with barely suppressed rage. "The Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox..."

She couldn't imagine what would have happened to the Lane Engine Squad if Chase hadn't taken precautions beforehand!

"Levy, Troy! Are you alright?"

Lucy and the Dark Magician Girl, on the other hand, were concerned about Levy and her companion, who had some minor scratches on their cheeks and bodies.

"Thanks to Chess, Rukie, and Dark Magician Girl, we weren't hurt."

Levy smiled and took Lucy's hand, glancing with lingering fear at Gajeel lying in the deep pit.

"Damn it, I was still a step too slow, and Chase finished the fight!"

After confirming that his companions were all safe and sound, Natsu finally relaxed and began to complain with a disgruntled expression.

Already seething with anger, he grew angrier the more he thought about it, and went over to grab Gajeel's clothes and shook them violently.

"Hey! Wake up! Aren't you the Iron Dragon Slayer Mage? Get up and fight me, you bastard!!"

Happy spread his hands, offering a helpless reminder: "Natsu, he's already too old to fight."

While Natsu was making a scene, Chess had already found the Sabertooth member who had been swung away by Gajeel.

The guy with the face of a background character was lying in the ruins pretending to be dead. When Chase found him, he immediately knelt down and kept saying spineless words of begging for mercy.

"Chase, who is this person?" Erza walked up from behind.

Chase knocked the noisy man unconscious with a single chop, then ripped off his tattered clothes, revealing a complete sword tiger pattern on his chest.

"Strange, I've never seen this guild crest before..." Erza crossed her arms and frowned slightly.

I never expected that an unfamiliar guild would be involved in this attack on Levy and her two friends!

"It's Saberbite Tigers, a small guild with not much of a reputation," Chess said.

"How did they end up associating with Phantom Lord?"

"It's probably because I beat up their president at the last president's meeting that he harbored resentment."

"What?! You beat up the guild leader of Sabertooth?!"

Erza stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Having participated in the Lalabai campaign, she hadn't heard Chess or the guild leader mention this at all...

"Let's discuss the details after we take this person back to the chairman. I also want to know what they're planning."

Chase drew a blank card and imprisoned the opponent.

Although the exact reason is still unclear, considering Germain's image as a muscle-bound idiot, it's more or less plausible that Sabertooth was likely used as a pawn by the treacherous Joseph.

At this stage, Saberbite Tiger won't have much impact on the overall battle, but since it involves two guilds, let's leave it to the old man to decide.

"What about the Iron Dragon Gajeel?"

Erza pointed at Gajeel, who was being slapped repeatedly by Natsu.

Her intuition told her that Chase seemed to have other plans.

"I have a better idea than bringing it back to the guild," Chase chuckled.

Because of Lucy's special status as the "Heiress of the Heartfilia Foundation," Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord are bound to go to war no matter what. Endless tolerance will only embolden Joseph.

Since that's the case, why not add fuel to the fire and make the Ghosts the first to get restless!

As for the method...

Joseph did all those little tricks just to force Fairy Tail to start a war.

Then let's fight fire with fire—using Gajeel's favorite style of doing things!

"Erza, if I remember correctly, the largest branch of the Phantom Lords is located in Orc City in northeastern Magnolia, right?" Chase chuckled.

"That's right... Wait, Chase! What are you planning to do?" Erza vaguely guessed what he was thinking.

After Lucie Grey and the others gathered around, Chase slowly revealed his plan.

The people who heard the story reacted in various ways.

"Hahaha, that sounds pretty good!" Natsu laughed heartily.

"Love it!" Happy raised his hand in agreement.

"You're something else, Chase, to come up with such a wicked idea," Gray chuckled.

"Chess, isn't doing this a bit...?" Lucy's beautiful eyes were filled with sympathy.

Erza, who always valued rules, shook her head and sighed. After pondering for a few seconds, she finally acquiesced to Chase's proposal.

She was just as angry as Natsu, but she tried her best to restrain herself because of the chairman's orders.

But the Ghost's attack tonight has crossed an absolutely intolerable line, and it's time to give them a warning!

So the group split into two.

Chess and Nazgray, carrying the unconscious Gajeel, rode the city's pterosaur through the night sky, heading towards Orc City.

Erza, Lucy, Levy, and the others took the cards containing the Saberbite Dragon Set to Makarov to report the situation.

-----------

The following morning, in the central square of Oak City.

The tower, a landmark with distinctive local features, was surrounded by residents and passersby pointing and whispering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please make way, we are from the Phantom Lords, NoNoNo~"

Upon hearing the news, the four Phantom Elementals pushed through the crowded throng and arrived at the front.

Upon seeing the scene before them, all four were stunned, their expressions filled with disbelief.

On the top of the tower, their guild's ace mage, Gajeel, had been stripped naked and hung on the wall using a six-pointed star spell.

His bare buttocks were exposed like this, one half painted with a crooked Ghost Guild logo, and the other half with the middle finger raised high!

—Chase held back, preventing Gajeel's face from being exposed to the various magical cameras.

"That's Gajeel?!" Fire Element Rabbit Maru exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry, the rain will wash away the ugly graffiti soon, drizzle..." Juvia said expressionlessly, holding up her umbrella.

"This is really... an insult to civility, NoNoNo~" The earth elemental twisted its body strangely, constantly looking Gajeel up and down.

"Has Gajeel been defeated? Ah~ the humiliation of my comrades~ how sad~" Aria, the wind elemental, kept crying.

Unlike Natsu's boundless rage when he saw Levy and the other two hanging up, the four elementals, though their expressions varied, did not show much emotional fluctuation.

Click, click.

The sound of leather boots stomping on the ground came from behind.

Looking at Gajeel hanging up, Joseph's face was terribly gloomy, and he was surrounded by chilling ghost magic.

He wasn't concerned about Gajeel himself, but rather the impact this incident would have on Phantom Lord's reputation.

The strongest mage of Fiore's strongest guild appeared in the public eye in such a disheveled and laughable state.

If word gets out, what will others think of them, the Phantom Lords?!

"You really dare to do that, Makarov..."

The graffiti of the middle finger on Gajeel's bare buttocks and the surrounding residents' discussions deeply stung Joseph, and an intense killing intent appeared in his dark eyes.

If Makarov's Achilles' heel is the children, then Joseph's Achilles' heel is undoubtedly the reputation and prestige of the strongest guild!

and so……

"Aria, contact Germain and awaken the six-legged walker."

A deep purple aura of demonic energy erupted from Joseph's body, sweeping across the entire square.

"Everyone, get ready to follow Fairy Tail..."

"All-out war!!"
