Chapter 547

【But, this did not affect the movement of those six mechanical legs.】

【One could only say that it lacked certain transformation functions.】

【However, in Jose's view, this alone was enough to deal with Fairy Tail.】

【On the surface of the massive building, a wall slowly descended, and immediately after, thick cannon barrels extended from within.】

【The muzzles were aimed at Fairy Tail ahead.】

【Terrifying magic power was accumulating.】

【"I will say it again! Hand over Lucy Heartfilia!!!"】

【From within the massive building came Jose's low, gloomy voice.】

【In the direction of Fairy Tail.】

【Lucy had already cried until she was a tear-stained mess.】

【Just a moment ago, Jose had already stated his purpose, and that was Lucy!】

【He had even explained Lucy's entire background clearly.】

【No matter what, she never imagined that the culprit behind all of this would actually be herself!】

【That it was... because of her own heartless father.】

【That it was because of some arranged marriage that she hadn't even consented to.】

【Because of these things, her father had actually hired the Phantom Lord guild.】

【This was what led to Fairy Tail being attacked.】

【Makarov had been summoned to the Council, Black Natsu had lost his trail, and now...】

【The entire guild was facing the risk of being destroyed.】

【All of this, everything, was because of her.】

【An indescribable sense of self-reproach surged into her heart.】

【"I... I..."】

【Lucy opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.】

【But, a warm embrace held Lucy.】

【"Don't be afraid, Lucy." Lisanna looked at Lucy with a smile.】

【"Whether it's Mira-nee, Erza-nee, or everyone in the guild, it is absolutely impossible for them to hand you over!"】

【Lisanna's words quickly drew agreement from everyone.】

【"That's right, that's simply impossible!" Alzack glared at the direction of Phantom Lord.】

【"Who would ever hand their own companion over to the enemy! Don't dream!" Bisca chimed in.】

【"Lucy is our companion! You can give up on that idea!" Macao roared loudly!】

【"That's right! Whatever Heartfilia family doesn't matter at all! What Lucy has always wanted is to stay in our guild!!"】

【"That's right, that's right! Get lost!"】

【"Get lost back there!!"】

【Lucy covered her trembling lips with both hands.】

【Her eyes, blurred by tears, stared blankly at the companions around her who were constantly roaring in anger.】

【Mirajane walked to Lucy's side with a dark expression.】

【She placed her palm on Lucy's shoulder.】

【"What are you trembling for? Lucy!"】

【Mirajane said in a low voice.】

【"I..." Lucy looked at the big sister before her through teary eyes.】

【Yes, from the first time they met, this white-haired girl with a fiery temper had been forcing her to call her 'big sister'.】

【Even if she didn't comply, she would suffer Mirajane's 'loving' discipline.】

【But at this moment, this big sister who usually made people feel afraid had uncharacteristically made Lucy's trembling stop.】

【"Raise your head and straighten your back, Lucy."】

【"You are a member of Fairy Tail; since you don't want to go back, no one can take you back!"】

【Mirajane patted her own chest!】

【"I said so!"】

【She stepped forward, blocking in front of Lucy, her gaze fixed on the behemoth ahead!】

【"What's there to be afraid of with just this crappy Phantom Lord?"】

【"I didn't earn the title of 'big sister' for nothing; I've got your back!"】

【Lucy's voice trembled.】

【"Big... big sister..."】

【"That's right! Rarely, I actually agree with this violent woman."】

【Erza also walked up and smiled self-deprecatingly.】

【"However..."】

【Erza clenched her fists: "Hey! You guys from Phantom Lord, listen up!"】

【"No matter what happens in the future, our answer will never change!"】

【Erza gave a thumbs-up toward Phantom Lord, then slowly pointed it downward!】

【"We! Will crush you!"】

【"Ohhhhh!!!"】

【The inspiring speech instantly ignited the fighting spirit of all Fairy Tail members.】

【Countless shouts followed.】

【Listening to the shouts from outside and looking at those faces filled with fighting spirit.】

【Jose inside the castle gritted his teeth tightly.】

【Veins bulged on his forehead.】

【The dark purple magic power around him also surged with Jose's anger.】

【Like an erupting volcano, the massive dark purple magic power instantly poured out.】

【It broke through the ceiling directly, as if it wanted to dye the sky black.】

【"Damn guys, you don't really think you have a chance of winning, do you?!"】

【"Huh?!!"】

【Accompanied by a roar, the dark purple magic power that reached the sky began to spread wildly.】

【It turned into countless gloomy ghosts, waving sharp scythes.】

【They charged toward Fairy Tail.】

【A companion immediately swung his fist, hitting toward the ghost.】

【But he hit nothing!】

【The next moment, the ghost darted through his body.】

【In an instant, it was as if his vitality had been snatched away, and he fell to the ground, exhausted.】

【"What's going on? My strength... seems to be drained?"】

【The person asked in confusion.】

【This scene fell into the eyes of others.】

【Especially Cana, whose pupils shrank instantly!】

【She immediately shouted: "Be careful, that is Jose's magic construct; if you touch it rashly, your strength will be stolen!"】

【"Jose's magic?"】

【"Such a large quantity?"】

【"This seems to be a collection of curses; can they even be resurrected after being destroyed?"】

【Seemingly seeing the surprised expression he wanted to see.】

【Jose's expression finally improved slightly.】

【The corners of his mouth curled up: "That's right, as long as I exist, these ghosts will always exist!"】

【"That old geezer Makarov is probably still bickering at the Council right now, and the super-large Magic Convergence Cannon I prepared specifically for you has also finished gathering!"】

【"You have no chance of winning anymore!"】
