Chapter 0008: Need Help? Another Guild?
The reason is quite simple
It is not a wise decision for the little demon from "Fairy Tail" to take action against the members of the council
Regardless of talent or strength, Laxus possesses the capital of arrogance!
"A mere member of the 'Phantom Lord' guild dares to seek prominence?" Laxus laughed maniacally, and the electric sparks around him grew even more dazzling
Listening to Laxus's completely unreserved question, the middle-aged man responded without changing his expression
In comparison to Noah, the middle-aged man who was directly facing the full brunt of Laxus's pent-up fury suddenly turned pale, his entire face becoming ashen.
Among the many formal guilds in the Fiore Kingdom, the "Phantom Lord" can be said to be the most outstanding guild of its level. At its peak, it was even referred to as the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom, truly a guild that gathered many powerful magicians.
Thus, after resting for a night at the inn, Noah, Elusha, and Laxus stood directly at the door, remaining motionless, waiting for the arrival of the middle-aged man
In terms of emotions, middle-aged individuals fundamentally do not believe that "Fairy Tail" can accomplish such a large-scale task, which requires dozens of magicians, with just three people, all of whom are underage. Therefore, they have also invited members from "Phantom Lord"!
It was agreed yesterday that at this time today, we must meet at the entrance of the hotel and then proceed together to the Lake of the Ceremony. Now, there is not much time left until the meeting, and the middle-aged man should be arriving soon.
What is going on
During the conversation, a somewhat violent surge of magical power slowly rose from Laxus's body
After all, your esteemed guild has only sent three individuals, and their experience seems somewhat lacking. It is quite normal for those in higher positions to feel a bit uneasy about this situation
Clearly, these individuals are all members of the same guild
In the next moment, golden arcs of electricity surged from Laxus, resembling small golden snakes writhing around him, accompanied by a powerful crackling sound that swept through the surroundings
Behind the middle-aged man, there was a group of at least thirty individuals, varying in gender, age, height, and attire, yet all sharing a similarly unfriendly expression, appearing before the three.
Bilibili
Phantom Lord
However, in recent years, "Fairy Tail" has begun to stand out, gradually catching up to "Phantom Lord" and showing a trend of surpassing it, which has somewhat rendered the title of the first in the Fiore Kingdom for "Phantom Lord" somewhat unsubstantiated.
At this moment, among the sorcerers coming from the "Phantom Lord" branch, one individual, who was clearly in a leading position, stepped forward and cast a cold gaze at Laxus, whose body was surging with electric energy
The electric arc on Laxas suddenly faltered
Therefore, Noah could clearly sense that, from the magic power emanating from Laxus, who specialized in lightning magic, there was not only the unique ferocity of lightning magic but also an extremely suppressed force.
Only Noah, standing nearby, frowned slightly as he watched Laxus, whose body was frequently flashing with golden arcs of electricity and powerful magical energy
Watching this scene, not only did the expressions of the middle-aged man and the group of people behind him change, but even a look of astonishment was revealed in Elusha's eyes
Phantom Lord
Exactly, it has been resolved together with you
He is indeed a person from the Council, but his status is low, and he only knows a few superficial spells, making it difficult to even call him a mage of the library. To directly withstand the wildly violent magic of Laxus is akin to facing a charging war chariot; the fear involved is beyond what can be conveyed to outsiders
The middle-aged man glanced at Laxus
Upon hearing this, how could the three of Noah not understand the middle-aged man's intention?
Even Makarov does not know that, in addition to possessing an innate and unmatched magical power, Noah also has a level of perception that is difficult for others to reach
Since you all want to compete for the job, it is necessary to determine the outcome, even the evaluation committee would have nothing to say about it
Such a special magic captivated Noah, rendering him unable to divert his gaze for a moment, as he fixedly stared at Laxus.
"Does the Council have regulations that allow two guilds to openly compete for jobs?" Laxus also let out a cold laugh
The Review Council is explicitly stipulated; as a formal guild, guilds are not allowed to engage in conflicts with one another. Should any violations occur, the guild will be forcibly dissolved
Thus, Laksas laughed, his laughter exceptionally fierce
If it were not for this regulation, Moglia might not truly wish to contend with Laxus
"Phantom Lord"? ! '' Noah and Erza were first taken aback in unison, and then they simultaneously displayed expressions of surprise
The magic and the power of the books emanating from Laxus, although not as formidable as Noah's, are still sufficient to surpass that of an ordinary mage by several times
Even now, "Phantom Lord" remains the most outstanding guild among all the official guilds in the Fiore Kingdom, still subtly holding the title of the strongest in the Fiore Kingdom
As Laxus gazed at the emblems on these individuals, his previously defiant expression suddenly became serious.
I apologize, everyone. After I reported the situation to the Council yesterday, the higher-ups of the Council summoned these sorcerers from the "Phantom Lord" branch to come and assist us
"We will not take your jobs!" Moghliya said in a sarcastic tone.
We are merely here as a precautionary measure summoned by the Council, and we will only intervene if your mission fails. Until your mission is deemed unsuccessful, we will not take action
This name, even Noah and Elusa, who have not been in the guild for long, would have heard of it!
Furthermore, in the presence of the members of the council, do you wish to openly conflict with another member of a formal union
However, when the middle-aged man appeared before Noah, Elusha, and Laxus, the three of them were taken aback.
In other words, are you underestimating me, regardless of these two little brats?
"I, Moglia, have not yet reached the point of quarreling with a little ghost!" said the sorcerer known as Moglia, the 'Phantom Lord', but his gaze towards Laxus grew increasingly cold.
Enough
Noah, Elusha, and Laxus only know that the Lake of Rituals is located in this city, but they are not very clear about the specific location of the Lake of Rituals. If they wish to go to the Lake of Rituals, they will need to be guided by the middle-aged man from the council.
At merely fifteen years of age, he is several times more powerful than an ordinary mage
Amidst this, upon seeing the sorcerer of "Phantom Lord" unexpectedly appear here, and following closely behind the middle-aged man from the council, Laxus's expression darkened, and he cast a cold glance at the middle-aged man, whose face was filled with indifference
It is also for this reason that in recent years, the relationship between 'Fairy Tail' and 'Phantom Lord' has shifted from a state of complete estrangement to one of increasing tension, giving the impression that a confrontation could occur at any moment
And on these individuals, in different positions, a guild emblem of the same shape but different colors is exposed to the air
Middle-aged individuals do not arrive alone
It is as if a fierce beast is hidden within the magic of Laxus
