Mira had barely finished speaking when Nazgre and the others all surrounded her.
"Hahaha! Chess! As expected of you! You've completely wrecked the guild headquarters!"
"Wow! I took down seventeen Phantom Mages too!"
"I said, do you really need to remember this so clearly?"
"Hey Gray, I heard you...pfft, beat up a woman, pfft."
"What are you laughing at, you dead cat! Believe me or not, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture right now!"
In such lively and exciting situations, Lucy would unleash her full potential as the guild's best comedian.
But this time, she remained silent throughout, and even after leaving the ruins of the lake and returning to the shore, she kept her head down.
Looking at her injured companions and Chesgo, who couldn't even stand up, Lucy was overwhelmed by endless self-blame.
Even though Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord were never on good terms, ultimately, the root of this war lies in everything...
It all stemmed from her status as the daughter of the Heartfilia Consortium, and she couldn't escape blame.
"The guild has really been damaged badly; we should really consider rebuilding it."
Makarov stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the guild that had been completely reduced to ruins, and sighed with considerable distress.
"I'm sorry, president—"
Lucy walked heavily into the crowd, unwilling to shirk the responsibilities she should bear.
"It's okay, Lucy. The guild can be rebuilt anytime," Mira comforted her with a smile.
"That's right, Ruka-chan! No one got seriously injured, so this is a huge victory for us!"
Levy, who was close to Lucy, also came over, followed by Jett and Troy, who both had smiles on their faces.
Natsugray, Erza, and their companions all had the same relaxed expression, not caring at all about such a trivial matter.
For them, winning the war against Phantom and not having Lucy forcibly taken away was enough!
However, Mira and Levy's incredibly gentle words did not comfort Lucy at all. Instead, they deepened Lucy's self-blame. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly, trying her best not to let anyone see her terrible, tearful appearance.
"Lucy," Makarov said in a deep voice.
"Whether it's something joyful or painful, while it's impossible for partners to completely share it, they can share it to some extent. That's what a guild is all about."
"One person's happiness is the guild's happiness, one person's anger is the guild's anger, and one person's tears are the guild's tears."
"There's no need to blame yourself for this. I believe you can deeply understand everyone's feelings, right?"
Makarov slowly turned around and looked at Lucy, who was sobbing even harder: "Lift your head up. After all, you are also a member of Fairy Tail."
At this point, Lucy's tense emotions finally reached their limit, and she slowly lowered her hand.
"Meow!"
She collapsed to the ground, looked up and cried out, exposing her most vulnerable, wolfish side to all her companions.
Mira and Levy rushed over to comfort her, while the others all wore relieved and contented smiles.
A corner of the guild ruins.
Chess, having left the girl's sweet and soft embrace, sat quietly in the corner.
Fully understanding the feelings of her fellow members was a crucial step for Lucy to completely integrate into Fairy Tail, and she had no intention of getting involved.
Turning his gaze away from Lucy, who was crying her eyes out, Chase's attention sank into the depths of his consciousness.
In the ethereal card space, a brand-new card slowly rotates.
This card was obtained from Joseph, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, and its card attribute is magic card.
The card depicts two phantom monsters flowing towards a converging center point under the influence of blue and purple vortexes.
That's right, its name is: Fusion!
In the world of card players, there is a saying that "fusion is the noblest way to summon".
Putting aside the card monsters in the deck that can achieve power enhancement through fusion, what interests Chess is what it would be like to use fusion on other people.
After all, apart from magic cards with specific names, cards like the Holy Light Protector Sword and the Book of Secrets can be directly applied to the Magic Earth!
Thinking of this, Chess raised his expectant yet slightly mischievous self-brightness and looked at Nazgray, who was gathered together because of the question of who had defeated the stronger enemy.
Combining these two would be absolutely amazing, wouldn't it?
Ice Flame Dragon and stuff like that!
Natsu and Gray, who were arguing, sensed something and turned to look at each other, only to see Chess's malicious and deadpan expression.
"Hey, why do I suddenly feel so uncomfortable, like ants are crawling all over my body?" Gray instinctively crossed his arms over his chest.
"While it's incredibly annoying to share the same feelings as you, you ice-cold jerk, there's something really off about Chase!"
Natsu nodded emphatically, no longer bothering to flirt with Gray, and began to warily scrutinize Chess.
"Hey!" Chase smiled and raised his hand in greeting.
The current situation is clearly not suitable for conducting experiments, and his magic power is far from recovered. We can only wait for a later opportunity.
Nazgray hugged her tightly: "That's even scarier!!"
dong dong dong.
A powerful, synchronized marching sound came from the other side of the street.
Led by the council's envoy, an army in uniform intervened forcefully, surrounding the Fairy Tail members, along with the bound Joseph and the Phantom Troupe members.
"Everyone stay still!"
The council envoy, resembling a toad, glanced around expressionlessly. Seeing Chase sitting motionless in the corner, he finally relaxed slightly and spoke in a cold voice:
"Fairy Tail, Phantom Lord, you are suspected of seriously violating the rule prohibiting war between guilds and must now undergo mandatory investigation!"
They really know how to pick their time, these lackeys of the Council.
Chess glanced at the imposing army with a bored expression.
From the destruction of Fairy Tail headquarters to Gajeel's attack and subsequent defeat, from Mira, Erza, and others evacuating Magnolia residents to Germain leading a disturbance.
Then Phantom Lord, piloting that enormous magical giant, crossed the distance of two towns to reach the lake and launch an attack on Fairy Tail.
The entire process would have given at least a dozen hours of reaction time, but these guys waited until the war was over before showing up. The implications of that are quite thought-provoking!
"Ahhh, please let me explain! This whole incident was instigated by Spectre and Sabertooth; we were just on the defensive!"
Makarov went to meet him.
Unlike the original story where Fairy Tail was enraged by seeing Levy and the others injured and led the team to fight Phantom Lord, due to Chase's intervention, Fairy Tail's behavior was that of a model student.
The guild was destroyed, I tolerated it;
Germain came looking for trouble, and we resolved it.
Needless to say, the Spectre Rulers were the ones who, from an outsider's perspective, came to attack on their own initiative!
What? Chess hung Gajeel on the tower?
Putting aside the fact that Gajeel started it, even if we were to define it, this was merely a small-scale skirmish between mages.
Therefore, Fairy Tail can completely stay out of this, and even has reason to demand compensation from Phantom Lord for medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and so on!
