Chapter 349: The Group Assault on the Holy Ten Mages
Chapter 349: The Group Assault on the Holy Ten Mages
Elusa's massive magic array, spanning twenty meters wide, stood firm like a reef amidst the raging current, protecting everyone behind her.
Joseph's dark purple energy torrent collided with the magic array, emitting a dazzling light, but it couldn't budge the Adamant Armor.
Only the land on both sides of the array was ravaged by this violent energy. When the attack ceased, a large conical area behind Elusa had risen half a foot higher than the surrounding ground.
Elusa parted her shield, and her entire body took two steps back, seemingly not at ease.
The shaken Phantom members realized they hadn't died from the Guild Master's attack. Some dropped their weapons, some knelt on the ground with weak legs, and others fled the battlefield without a care.
Only a handful of Phantom soldiers continued their assault.
The Fairy Tail members wanted to cheer for Elusa, but were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Rod: "Hurry and clear the remaining enemies! Prepare for the final battle!"
Natsu and Gray were there, but Mira and Happy were nowhere to be seen.
"Understood!"
"Volian, come over here!"
"Received!"
Volian quickly rushed over, allowing Rod to place his hand on his shoulder.
By maintaining physical contact, Volian enabled Rod to choose his own communication targets, and they could communicate without speaking, ensuring faster and more accurate command transmission.
"Sniper Team, Concussion Grenades in batches! Loki, move out!"
After issuing a few commands, Rod summoned two golems and shouted, "Natsu, Gray, Carla!"
The golems added the Insight Crowns to the four of them, and then one followed Natsu while the other ran with Gray.
The first to act was Loki, whose injured arm had been bandaged. He stood behind Elusa, revealing the ring on his finger, and a powerful beam of light shot towards Joseph's eyes.
"A petty trick," Joseph said, pulling up his cloak with his left hand to block the light, and pushing forward with his right hand. A purple lightning bolt twisted and turned towards Loki.
"No way!" Elusa stepped to the left, holding up half of her shield, and grunted, intercepting the lightning.
When the Sniper Team's bullets reached Joseph's side, emitting a deafening sound, the ring on Loki's finger glowed brighter.
Carla stepped forward, while Gray and Natsu had already run to both sides. The three of them launched their attacks simultaneously:
"Emperor's Wind Blade, Destiny's Thunder Call!"
Carla crossed her arms, and from between her fingers, six cards were flung out, transforming into three two-meter-long wind blades and three arm-thick lightning bolts that shot towards Joseph from the front.
"Ice Formation: Snow Cannon!"
Gray sidestepped, assuming a bow-pulling stance with both arms. A single-soldier rocket launcher-like cannon appeared, and when he pulled the trigger, an ice-snow cannonball shot out like a laser towards Joseph's left side.
The powerful recoil caused his body to lean back, and his front leg rose involuntarily.
"Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu took a deep breath, forming a tube shape with his hands in front of his mouth, and for once, he used his breath in the most standard posture.
Flames erupted from his hands, resembling a dragon's breath. The concentrated dragon's breath transformed into a scorching fire flame, shooting towards Joseph's right side.
Joseph's vision was obstructed by the bright light, and his hearing was limited by the concussion grenades, but he still responded.
He simply released his light-blocking cloak, pushing his palms forward and spreading them to the sides. The purple-black mana in his palms, like elastic, was pulled into a semicircle by him.
"Dark Arc!"
The purple-black arc-shaped energy wave expanded outward, shooting downward at an angle due to Joseph's elevated position.
This arc deflected the wind blades, extinguished the lightning, cleaved the ice-snow cannonball, and scattered the dragon's flame.
Moreover, this arc continued to expand without losing momentum, threatening to split everyone in half.
Elusa once again merged her large shield to protect those behind her, but was pushed back a step by the arc. The two golems shielded Natsu and Gray, and their legs, harder than rocks, bore three-inch-deep scars.
"Elfman, Mira, Waka!"
The Concussion Grenade's third round of shooting was so loud that no one could hear Rod's voice, but his commands were transmitted to the three of them through Volian's magic.
"Smoke Veil!" Waka exhaled a cloud of smoke from his pipe, which expanded as it reached Joseph, further obstructing his vision and hearing.
Although it was only the size of a basketball, it was just enough to cover Joseph's head, and for a moment, it was difficult to disperse.
"Man up!" Elfman took a running start, leaping over the heads of the front row and receiving the Beast King Soul in mid-air.
He sprinted forward with large strides, jumping towards Joseph at the top of the ruins. His fist, as big as a cooking pot, aimed for Joseph's cheek.
Perhaps it was Elfman's heavy footsteps or his powerful punch, but Joseph caught his fist with his claws.
His forearm seemed to tremble, almost touching his own face, "Exaggerated brute force... I'll reward you with the most painful torment, darkness encroachment!"
Dark energy emanated from Joseph's palm, like a venomous snake, climbing up Elfman's arm from his fist.
Elfman instinctively felt something amiss; although his fist broke free from Joseph's palm, the dark energy remained connected to Joseph's hand and continued to climb upwards.
Moreover, Elfman's arm had already started to throb with pain, "Ouch..."
Mila, carried high into the sky by Happy, dove down at high speed, receiving the Soul of Satan midway.
The black demonic wings flapped once vigorously before retracting, and Mila's speed became astonishing. She clenched her fist and rushed towards Joseph's head.
Joseph failed to dodge, and this punch landed squarely on him.
Standing atop the ruins, Joseph fell headfirst into the wreckage, causing the top of the ruins to cave in. Once again, the rubble and debris buried the Ten Great Mages.
The darkness on Elfman's arm vanished, and Waka's smoke cloud was also dispersed by this strike.
At this moment, all the remaining Phantom Soldiers had been eliminated.
"It's done..."
Before anyone could plant the flag, Rod hurriedly sent a message, "Mila, Elfman, fall back!"
"Everyone! Attack with magic! Burst Magic Crystal! Fire at will!"
At the command, Mila grabbed Elfman's arm and pulled him away.
Immediately, flames, ice, smoke, wood, wind, lightning, flying swords, black magic bullets, and Burst Magic Crystals...
Various attacks and colorful lights all flew towards the ruins.
Sounds of slicing, explosions, and thunder rumbled continuously.
The highest part of the large ruins was blasted into a huge pit, and the building debris had long disappeared.
An ordinary person would have been completely obliterated by the firepower of an entire guild, but Rod remained vigilant, "All squads, maintain combat formation and retreat in an orderly manner!"
When the attack ceased, a dark purple orb barrier caught everyone's attention in the middle of the large crater.
Joseph looked pathetic; his topknot had come undone, with a few strands of hair hanging over his forehead. A noticeable wound marked his temple, and blood trickled down his cheek. Blood also stained the corners of his mouth.
His robe and cloak were already tattered, and his exposed arms were drenched in blood.
His pants had turned into shorts, and he had lost one of his boots, with wounds visible on his legs.
After the barrier disappeared, Joseph lowered his head, bent over, and let his arms hang limply in front of him, "Hahaha... Hehehe..."
Joseph let out a chilling laugh, and when he lifted his head, his expression was hideous, "Well done, you guys... Well done!"
Joseph's body seemed to be coated with a dark purple glow, and an immense surge of magic power erupted, as if countless evil spirits were swirling around him.
"Fairy Tail brats!"
A loud boom resounded, and although Joseph didn't seem to cast any magic, the ground beneath him sank another level.
If seeing him earlier was merely disgusting, now it was bone-chilling.
Those with slightly weaker magic power, like Lucy, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear!
