Chapter 72 Gray: I, Ido, and Gildarts, the three of us together are truly formidable! (Part Two)
The Kingdom of Fiore.
Magnolia town.
In the basement of a hotel.
Hundreds of fierce-looking, blood-smelling, burly men have gathered here.
Everyone present was a mage from a dark guild. They were all summoned by "Orochi" Kafch and had a blood feud with the mage guild Fairy Tail.
Yes, throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore, all the mages, bandits, thieves, and poachers of the dark guilds have long harbored resentment towards Fairy Tail, the mage guild.
Fairy Tail's light is so bright that there is no longer any place in the Kingdom of Fiore where darkness can "breathe".
And so, all the darkness in the kingdom united and decided to fight Fairy Tail to the death.
"Gentlemen."
"I've summoned you all here for three things!"
"Destroy Fairy Tail, destroy Fairy Tail, and destroy Fairy Tail again."
Before a group of dark guild mages, a man dressed in a black robe, with exaggerated and heavy makeup on his face, looking like a circus clown, was giving a loud speech.
This person is the initiator of the Fairy Tail guild's destruction incident, the guild master of the Dark Magician Guild, Dark Deeds, whose strength is said to be close to that of the Ten Wizard Saints, "Orochi" Kafch.
"oh!!"
As Kafch finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted throughout the basement, with many of the dark guild's mages shedding tears of emotion.
"What makes you think you can lead us to destroy Fairy Tail?"
However, not everyone present supported Kafche. Some of the more rational mages from the dark guilds questioned Kafche on the podium.
"Based on my abilities."
The moment Kafch finished speaking, a vast amount of magical power erupted from his body, and the terrifying power made everyone present tremble.
Without a doubt, Kafche's magic power has reached level seven as rated by the Id system, which means he has crossed the threshold of becoming one of the Ten Great Archmages.
"impossible!"
"Kafche, how did you become so strong?"
"I once had the honor of meeting Lord Joseph Pola, the guild master of the Phantom Lords, who is one of the Ten Great Archmages, in a neighboring city."
"My impression of Joseph is that he is about the same as Lord Kafche now."
After Kafche displayed his absolute power, some of the dark guild mages present were terrified, while others were overjoyed. But whatever their inner thoughts, they were all successfully intimidated by Kafche.
"snort."
"Joseph Paula?!"
"He's just a frog in a well."
"You have no idea what a true powerhouse is like~"
Kafche sneered, his eyes filled with disdain for Joseph. Even now, he couldn't forget the great man he had met a few days ago, who had not only taught him powerful magic but also helped him reach his current strength with ease.
Now, it's finally his turn to repay that lord, giving Fairy Tail of the Archmage Guild a bloody warning.
"Gentlemen, now tell me."
"What are your choices?"
After demonstrating his strength, Kafche asked the crowd present.
"We swear to follow Lord Kafche to the death and eradicate the Fairy Tail of the Mage Guild."
The dark guild mages present were all shrewd individuals. Given the current situation, they were in a stronger position than they were, so they all knelt on one knee and pledged their allegiance to Kafche.
Moreover, they were happy to see the Fairy Tail guild destroyed.
"very good."
Kafch sneered. After consolidating the forces, the next step was to make Fairy Tail disappear from the world completely.
"boom!!"
Just as Kafch was feeling confident, the basement door was suddenly kicked open, and seven or eight mages from the Dark Guild, dressed in black robes, were immediately thrown in from outside.
"What?"
"What happened?"
"I don't know?"
This scene shocked all the archmages from the dark guilds present, causing their expressions to change.
"Um, I heard you guys are going to cause trouble for someone?!"
Just as everyone hesitated to make a move, two large and one small figures appeared in front of them.
"Who are you?!"
The crowd looked at the young man in the black trench coat, the middle-aged man with short orange-red hair, and the black-haired kid in front of them, their expressions filled with confusion. They didn't seem to recognize the people's identities.
"Kildarts, I'll go left, you go right."
Before the guys who were planning to attack Fairy Tail could react, the black-haired youth who broke into the basement had already made his move. In a single glance, he froze everyone standing to his left into ice sculptures.
At the same time, the black-haired youths were particularly humane in that they deliberately did not freeze their heads so that they could consciously feel the pain.
"Smash it!"
On the right, a slovenly young man with short, bright orange hair moved with swift and clean movements. With a single strike, he shattered the bones of everyone standing on the right side of the basement, leaving them sprawled on the ground like slimes.
"No, no, no————"
"Something terrible has happened."
"I know who they are?!"
"The newcomers are none other than Ido and Gildarts, hailed as the strongest shield of the Fairy Tail guild, known as the Twin Pillars of Fairy Tail!"
The Dark Guild mages, whose heads were frozen by Id and were now exposed, spoke with fear upon noticing the magic used by the two youths.
"madness!"
"Whether they are the twin pillars of Fairy Tail or the strongest shield of Fairy Tail guild, they will all die after encountering me."
"Great Serpent!" Kafche sneered. He had already received the enhancement from that lord, Hades, the most wanted criminal on the continent of Ishgar. How could he possibly lose here?!
"boom!"
Kafche unleashed a torrent of magical power, charging towards Id and Gildarts like a cannonball.
"Grey."
Id and Gildarts ignored Kafch, who was charging towards them, and instead looked at Gray beside them, who had been gathering his strength since entering the basement, and said in unison, "Attack together!"
"good!"
Gray nodded, then turned to Kafch and unleashed his strongest technique: "Ice Form: Holy Sword!"
"Smash it!"
"Ice Dragon's Crushing Fist!"
The instant Gray swung his holy sword, Gildarts and Ido simultaneously threw out their fists.
"What?!"
The once arrogant Kafche's magic was shattered by Gildarts' magic before it even got close to Gray. Then Gray's holy sword immediately smashed into his face, denting his paint-covered cheek. Finally, Id's crushing fist delivered the final blow.
"boom!!"
With a deafening roar echoing in everyone's ears, Kafche's figure soared into the sky like a rocket, smashing through the basement ceiling, then crashing through the floors of the first, second, and third floors, flying towards the top floor, and finally smashing through the hotel ceiling, soaring ten thousand meters into the air, shoulder to shoulder with the freely flying birds and the clouds in the sky.
Kafche's body flew uncontrollably through the air, while his thoughts began to replay in a revolving lantern.
Kafche felt as if he had returned to the day he met that man.
Hades: "Kafche, are the Fairy Tail guild's double walls really that strong?"
Kafch: "Absolutely incredible! Even though I've received your guidance and am now on par with the Ten Great Archmages, I still couldn't get them to use their full power after giving it my all."
Kafche: "I'm sorry I couldn't get Id and Lord Gildarts to use their full strength."
"ah----"
"Lord Kafche was instantly killed?"
After Kafche was instantly killed by the combined efforts of Id, Gildarts, and Gray, all the surviving, conscious Dark Guild Mages present were dumbfounded. Their eyes widened, revealing expressions of disbelief.
"This is the price to pay for challenging our Fairy Tail guild."
Id's gaze swept across everyone's faces as he spoke in a cold voice.
All the dark guild mages who were swept by Id's gaze lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
"Now, we can leave the Magic Council's ERA to clean up the mess."
After doing all this, Id patted Gray on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go back to the guild."
"Um.
""
Gray nodded vigorously, looking at the dark guild mages before him who dared not look him in the eye. A slight smile played on his lips as he thought to himself, "My master Id, Gildarts, and I are truly formidable together."
After the "Orochi" Kafch attempted to ambush the Fairy Tail guild, they were instead defeated by Ido, who had returned to the town.
After the brief incident where Gildarts teamed up to defeat him, Gray finally stood before the gates of Fairy Tail, the mage guild.
"Gulp."
Gray stared at the Fairy Tail guild gate before him, which exuded an aura of holiness and antiquity and was filled with a sense of historical weight. He subconsciously swallowed.
"My dearest mother and father."
"After months of training, I have crossed half the continent and finally arrived at Fairy Tail, the Archmage Guild."
"From now on, you will no longer need to worry about me."
"I will definitely grow into a mage that you can be proud of."
As Gray pondered this, filled with anticipation, he pushed hard against the ancient door in front of him.
"boom!!"
The moment Gray pushed open the guild door, a flying sword wrapped in magic shot straight toward his forehead.
"?!"
Gray stared at the flying sword that was clearly going to take his life, his pupils contracting slightly. He muttered to himself, "What kind of development is this? Damn it!"
