Chapter 262

【"Oh, right!"】

【Seeming to remember something, Jose laughed even more heartily.】

【"I advise you not to pin your hopes on that Fire Dragon; if nothing went wrong... that guy is already dead, right?"】

【Outside.】

【Whether it was Erza, Mirajane, Lisanna, Lucy, or all the members of the guild, they were all stunned in place at this moment.】

【"De... dead??"】

【Erza's eyes were filled with disbelief.】

【"What kind of joke are you making, you bastard!! How could you possibly..."】

【Before Mirajane could finish, she was immediately interrupted by Jose.】

【"That guy is indeed strong, but... even strength has its limits. In the hands of a hunting team specifically formed to deal with him, even a real dragon! Would have to perish!"】

【Jose's voice carried a smile.】

【Then he waved his hand violently: "It's useless to talk so much with you."】

【"Feel the despair!"】

【"Super-sized Jupiter... Fire!!!"】

【Following Jose's order.】

【The next moment, a violent roar capable of tearing the air apart erupted from the massive muzzle that had already gathered immense magic power.】

【The dark purple light was enough to obscure the sun in the sky at this moment!】

【A massive beam of light whistled as it blasted toward the Fairy Tail guild.】

【Seeing this scene, Erza's pupils shrank slightly!】

【Her body reacted the next moment.】

【She began to run rapidly toward the very front.】

【"Hey! Erza, what are you trying to do??"】

【Mirajane shouted in a hurry.】

【"Of course... to block this attack!"】

【Erza's gaze was firm, the dark purple light illuminating her face.】

【The violent wind blew her scarlet long hair, but it did not affect her running speed in the slightest.】

【However... someone was faster!】

【He even left an afterimage beside Erza.】

【Erza looked in astonishment at the familiar back that had suddenly appeared before her.】

【Hei Black Nazi!】

【Most eye-catching of all was that he was actually carrying a half-dead person in his hand?】

【The next moment, Hei Black Nazi rushed to the very front of the guild.】

【Facing the terrifying impact, he barely thought at all.】

【He raised his other empty arm.】

【A crimson light appeared in front of him.】

【BOOM!!!】

【Immediately after, the dark purple impact slammed fiercely into the crimson light.】

【The violent roar sounded as if it were going to tear everyone's eardrums.】

【The terrifying storm raised at the center of the impact even forced weaker mages like Levy and Cana to retreat uncontrollably.】

【They gritted their teeth, their eyes fixed on the figure standing at the very front.】

【A look of joy appeared on everyone's face.】

【The violent impact lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly dissipating.】

【When the dust settled, only the trenches extending to both sides on the ground remained, proving the existence of the terrifying convergence cannon impact just now.】

【Dust billowed upward.】

【Hei Black Nazi shook his arm, which was stained with dust.】

【His golden eyes, burning like flames, looked toward the direction of the Phantom Lord guild.】

【As if he could see through the layers of buildings to the expression on Jose's face inside, which looked like he had eaten something foul.】

【Hei Black Nazi casually threw Gajeel, who was gaping with a face full of cold sweat, onto the ground.】

【He spoke slowly:】

【"Just now, were you the one going around saying I was dead?"】

【"You guy who only knows how to hide in the shadows?"】

【With Hei Black Nazi appearing on the battlefield.】

【The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.】

【Restless magic factors still lingered in the air.】

【Rolling thick smoke rose from Hei Black Nazi's side.】

【"Blo... blocked it?"】

【Wakaba's pipe fell from his mouth to the ground, but he had no mind to worry about it.】

【A pair of eyes stared fixedly at Hei Black Nazi, who had appeared not far ahead.】

【A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.】

【"It's Natsu! Natsu is back!"】

【Cana exclaimed.】

【You have to know, just a short while ago, Jose had personally stated the news that Hei Black Nazi was dead.】

【Although no one on the Fairy Tail side believed it.】

【After all, that was Hei Black Nazi!】

【In the entire guild, he was almost in a league of his own.】

【But, no matter how strong, Hei Black Nazi was still human.】

【According to Jose's statement, that was a candidate specifically chosen to deal with Hei Black Nazi.】

【And, it was very likely to be through methods like an ambush, so the members of Fairy Tail were afraid too.】

【Afraid that Hei Black Nazi had really fallen into Jose's trap, and something had happened, etc.】

【However, all these worries vanished the moment Hei Black Nazi appeared.】

【"Are... are you okay?"】

【Erza, who was closest, immediately rushed over, looking Hei Black Nazi up and down.】

【"Don't worry, blocking an attack of this level was quite easy."】

【Hei Black Nazi responded.】

【"I know, I'm talking about you being ambushed, after all, Jose's underhanded tricks are endless, I was a bit worried."】

【"Oh, that." Hei Black Nazi realized, then looked at Gajeel, who had completely lost his combat ability at his feet.】

【He kicked Gajeel's body with his toe.】

【"For that, you can ask him."】

【Ask Gajeel??】

【After experiencing that hellish ordeal.】

【Gajeel just wanted to pass out properly; he really didn't want to participate in anything anymore.】

【Erza and Mirajane, who had come over, looked at Gajeel's miserable state and roughly knew the answer in their hearts.】

【Smiling helplessly, Erza said: "It seems he suffered quite a bit."】

【Mirajane crossed her arms: "What's this? If I remember correctly, the iron pillars that pierced the guild were done by this guy, right?"】

【"Alright, anyway, I'm fine." Hei Black Nazi interrupted their words.】

【As soon as these words were spoken.】

【Even the people behind them couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.】

【Following that, came excitement!】

【Even Macao straightened his back and roared toward the Phantom direction.】

【"Hey! You Jose guys! You're finished! Hahaha!!"】

【Macao's words instantly drew countless shouts of agreement.】

【"That's right, that's right, Natsu is back, we're sure to win!"】

【"With Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane all together, I don't even know how we could possibly lose."】

【"You Jose guys, you've kicked an iron plate this time!!!"】

【The excited, clamoring voices reached Jose's ears.】

【Looking at the councilor knights who had surrounded them, a look of realization flashed in his eyes.】

【Especially when he saw Gajeel, who was lying like a dead pig at Hei Black Nazi's feet.】

【The anger in Jose's heart was like a volcano about to erupt!】

【His fist couldn't stop pounding on his seat.】

【Veins, like long worms, bulged one after another on his cheeks.】

【"So... the four great generals I sent out... have all failed, right?"】

【Jose's low voice resounded across the sky through the loudspeaker.】

【"It's not just that they failed!"】

【Happy, who had followed Hei Black Nazi to the battlefield, spoke up.】

【A cat face filled with smugness.】

【"In short, it was four against one, and three were countered and killed. Jose, the people you sent out aren't good enough!"】

【"Four against one??"】

【"So, Natsu was besieged by Jose's people not long ago?"】

【"No wonder we haven't seen the Element 4 until now."】

【"So they went collectively to ambush Natsu!"】

【"Damn Jose, how despicable, ambushing is one thing, but playing the numbers game too!"】

【"However, it's a pity he chose the wrong opponent. I'm afraid Jose never dreamed that four against one could still result in three being countered and killed, and one being crippled?"】

【Wanton mocking laughter came from the Fairy Tail side.】

【Happy's psychological warfare wasn't over yet.】

【He flapped his wings and flew into the air.】

【Facing the direction of the Phantom Lord guild.】

【"Right, there's also this!"】

【Saying this, Happy took off the backpack he had been wearing around his neck and threw it into the sky.】

【A breeze blew past.】

【The backpack opened, and countless flags drifted out, dancing in the air with the blowing wind.】

【Although many flags were in a damaged state.】

【But everyone present recognized the pattern on the flags! It was the Phantom Lord pattern.】

【"Phantom Lord's flags..."】

【"So many? Could it be that he single-handedly wiped out all the Phantom Lord branches?"】

【The Fairy Tail members stared blankly at the Phantom Lord flags dancing in the air.】

【"What an amazing guy. Although I knew he went to find trouble with Phantom alone, but... I didn't expect him to reach this point." Mirajane sighed.】

【"However... it's really a pity I couldn't participate in this."】

【She clenched her fists, her face full of unwillingness.】

【"Is it really worth being this excited? It was so dangerous." Lisanna, not understanding Mirajane's feelings, shook her head.】

【"Besides, aren't we still in a standoff with Phantom now?"】

【"Phantom's headquarters is right here."】

【Mirajane looked at her sister, then sighed: "You still don't understand, Lisanna."】

【Her beautiful eyes gazed in Hei Black Nazi's direction.】

【"Since that guy has appeared, this war basically has nothing to do with us anymore."】

【"Soon, the war will be over. We spent all this time, but in the end, we didn't get to make a move at all. This feeling is very uncomfortable, do you understand?"】

【Mirajane talked on and on, but Lisanna clearly had no intention of listening.】

【Her attention was entirely on that one sentence of Mirajane's.】

【The war is about to end!】

【The Fairy Tail members thought so too; cheers, noise, and cheering voices kept resounding.】

【As if, the moment Hei Black Nazi appeared, the victory was already set.】

【In stark contrast to this was Jose.】

【Looking at the laughing fairies, Jose's anger grew even higher.】

【He clenched his fists tightly.】

【He could no longer sit securely inside the castle.】

【Standing up, he stomped his feet on the ground.】

【He leaped up toward the ceiling that had just been broken by his magic power.】

【His figure landed on the platform at the top of the castle.】

【Coming to the edge of the railing, he shouted toward the distant Fairy Tail direction.】

【"You ignorant brat, do you really think that just because you survived the ambush of the Element 4, you can turn the tide of this battle?!"】

【He raised his fist: "You're just a brat..."】

【"Does defeating other brats make you this arrogant?!"】

【Massive magic power continued to erupt from his body.】

【The terrifying magic power of a Wizard Saint level was displayed to the fullest at this moment.】

【Dark purple magic power continued to pour out, rushing into the sky, like dark purple clouds, almost covering the horizon!】

【"Damn brat! From now on, I won't give you any more hope!"】

【"Fairy Tail will become history starting today!!!"】

【As Jose's voice fell, countless hysterical roars came from within the entire castle!】

【As if responding to Jose, all the mages belonging to Phantom Lord who were in the castle poured out in batches.】

【They stood chaotically on the massive stone slab that was dragging the castle.】

【They brandished their weapons, crazily clamoring toward the Fairy Tail direction.】

【"See that? This is the true strength of Phantom!"】

【"In terms of high-level combat power, even if the Element 4 and Gajeel are wiped out, I still exist!"】

【"In terms of conventional combat power, my Phantom people are several times, even dozens of times, your Fairy Tail's numbers. What are you going to fight us with?!!"】

【"A bunch of damn brats!!"】

【Jose strained his voice, his cheeks turning red from shouting.】

【But the madness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.】

【"Giving you one last chance!"】

【"Hand over Lucy Heartfilia!!"】

【Fairy Tail direction.】

【Hei Black Nazi turned his head to look at Lucy.】

【Lucy, being called by name again, couldn't help but tremble.】

【She silently lowered her head.】

【"Natsu, Lucy is..."】

【Erza, seeing this, hurriedly wanted to come up to explain.】

【But Hei Black Nazi waved his hand.】

【"I know, everything about Lucy was laid out by Gajeel just now."】

【After saying this, Hei Black Nazi turned his head, his gaze fixed on the source of the dark purple, Jose!】

【He spoke in a low voice:】
