Chapter 80 Fairy Tail is weak enough?
"Even Chessgo says so, is the Phantom Lord really that strong...?"
Lucy found it hard to believe.
After the previous incidents, Chase had already become an extremely safe and secure figure in her eyes.
"Lucy, the outside world is very vast," the Dark Magician Girl said with a smile.
Having encountered the Flame God Dragon Igunia, she deeply understands this.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Natsu, who was lying on the coffee table, muttered to himself, "Isn't our guild leader also a Wizard of Ten..."
"Natsu, a battle between the Ten Wizard Saints can cause the heavens and earth to collapse!" Erza warned solemnly.
As they were talking, Chess suddenly looked up at the clock hanging in the living room.
Then, he slowly stood up, drew a card, and in front of Lucy and the others, drew a magic circle under his feet, setting up a trap.
"Chesco, what's going on?" Lucy asked, her eyes wide with confusion.
"If a few dangerous people suddenly show up at home, it'll be safer to sleep at night if we set a trap," Chase laughed.
Lucy's lips twitched, and she pointed a finger at her seemingly harmless self: "Dangerous people... shouldn't that include me, right?"
Unlike her, Gray wasn't subtle enough; he jumped straight in: "Seriously?! Chase, you're wary of your own partners too?!"
"I see. Even with a partner you can entrust your life to, you can never let your guard down."
Erza rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and nodded quite seriously. "Chase, I've learned something."
Lucy: What the hell did you learn?! Do you have to be so serious?!
Because the target was Erza, she only dared to complain silently in her heart.
"Never mind, I'm going to sleep now."
Gray waved his hand and turned to walk upstairs.
"Wait for me, Gray! I need to sleep in Chase's room!"
Natsu, who always seems to cause trouble at times like these, has lost his usual energy due to Phantom Lord's influence.
Harpy, having finished his fish, followed closely behind.
"Hey, you guys, you should at least take a shower first. What kind of behavior is it to go to sleep covered in sweat and stench?" Erza frowned slightly.
Even after moving to the Chess family home, she continued to maintain her meticulous disciplinary committee style.
"No, we're too tired," Nazgray said in unison.
"Oh ho? I really can't do anything with you two."
Erza sighed helplessly, walked over and put her arms around both of their shoulders, then said something surprising, "Then let me stay with you like I did when we were kids!"
Nazgre immediately tensed up, behaving like a good boy.
"Huh? Take a bath together?!" Lucy's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
What exactly is the relationship between these three...?
"Ai~ after all, they're the strongest team," Happy added.
"This is on a completely different level, the strongest!"
……
In the end, Natsu and Gray resolutely chose to bathe alone rather than with Erza the monster.
Chase's apartment building has two shower rooms, unlike Lucy's cramped rental apartment, so the queue for several people doesn't take too long.
"Chesco, it's your turn."
Lucy put her long blonde hair up and, wearing pink pajamas she had brought from home, walked out of the first-floor shower room and waved to Chase, who was sitting in the living room.
Erza had already finished showering on the second floor and was chatting with Chase and Dark Magician Girl about Phantom Lord.
The strawberry-patterned pajamas she wore, paired with her dashing face, created a strangely adorable contrast.
"OK".
Just as Chess stood up, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Looks like I'll have to wash up a little later."
Three Kuriboh derivatives were destroyed simultaneously, which means...
What was bound to happen has finally arrived!
hum!
A flash of light appeared, and the intricate patterns of a magic circle materialized beneath Chase's feet.
He activated a trap card that had been cast face-down before the cast was completed: [Switch]!
To Lucy and Erza's astonishment, Chase vanished into thin air.
Before the two women could react to what was happening, the empty magic circle trembled slightly, and another figure appeared.
"Ouch...Ouch...Erza? Lucy? Where am I?"
Jet from the Lane Engine Squad collapsed to the ground, his face bruised and battered. "No! Levy! Levy's in danger!!"
----------
The time will be a few minutes earlier.
In the quiet, deserted streets of town, Levy and her two friends were walking back to their lodgings.
"Levy, you'd better hurry back to the girls' dormitory. It's too dangerous outside right now," Troy, who was skilled in plant magic, said with a worried expression.
"That's right, according to Mira, the Phantoms might still be in Magnolia." Jet shared the same view.
"Okay, I know, we're heading back now."
Levy walked between the two, smiling, and said, "Besides, all three members of our Lane Engine Team are here. No matter what happens, we will never lose to anyone!"
"Levy~♡!"
Jett and Troy were immediately captivated by Levy's trusting smile.
If they are just ordinary ghouls, they naturally can't do anything to them.
Unfortunately, the one who launched the attack from the shadows was Phantom Lord's ace mage, Iron Dragon Gajeel!
"Hehe, so it really is Fairy Tail passing through here..."
The moment the Levy trio, who were chatting and laughing, entered the attack range, Gajeel sneered, ignored the Sabertooth people accompanying him, leaped high into the air, and slammed his right arm, which had turned into steel, down!
"Iron Dragon Staff!"
Boom!!
The sudden appearance of the steel rod caught the lane engine team off guard.
A violent and heavy force was unleashed, smashing deep, cracked craters into the street.
As the dust settled, Gajeel's maniacal laughter froze.
To everyone's surprise, Levy and her two companions, who should have been seriously injured, were standing there unharmed!
In front of each of the three people floated a strange, uniquely shaped ball of fur that gradually turned into specks of light and disappeared.
"You bastard, you're one of Phantom Lords?!"
Troy reacted instantly, shielding Levy without hesitation, raising his hand to unleash magic, summoning several vines from the ground beneath Gajeel's feet.
At the same time, Jet maximized his speed magic and charged straight at Gajeel.
He was preparing to combine Troy's plant magic to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!
The teamwork of the Lane Engine squad is undoubtedly excellent; however, the difference in strength between the two sides is simply too great.
Gajeel easily sliced through the vines with a single Iron Dragon Sword strike, then threw a backhand punch at Jet, who was charging towards him.
Jeter was punched and sent flying backward, crashing directly into Troy.
The two were swept away by the terrifying force and slammed heavily into the shop behind them, sending splinters flying everywhere!
"Three-dimensional characters·Fire!"
With a low shout from Levy, flames illuminated the dark street and surged toward Gajeel.
Gajeel didn't dodge or avoid, a savage grin on his face, and walked slowly towards Levy, his body radiating flames.
"How... how can she be so strong..." Levy was so frightened that she couldn't move.
Gajeel waved his arm dismissively, and the flames on his body were extinguished on the spot.
"Heh heh, so this is Fairy Tail? It's really weak!"
He looked down at the tiny Levy, his right fist now hard as steel. "You'd better lie down!"
Clang!
The crisp sound of steel clashing rang out, scattering a few sparks.
Levy, who had kept her eyes tightly shut out of fear, cautiously opened them.
Upon seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but widen her pupils in excitement.
That was a strong and upright figure from behind!
"Is Fairy Tail really that weak?"
Chess's lips curled up, and with a slight exertion of the arm fitted with the right wrist of the sealed one, he easily squeezed Gajeel's iron fist, causing it to deform repeatedly.
"You can't pretend you didn't hear that, you piece of junk."
