Chapter 486: The Jack-of-All-Trades Jerry (First Update)
"Everyone, please step back. The train has only derailed slightly. Once it's handled, you'll be able to board!"
At the entrance of the Oshibana train station, a few uniformed staff members were loudly explaining the situation to the crowd of citizens waiting to board the train.
However, the crowd clearly didn't believe their explanations and was buzzing with discussions about the recent arrival of the military.
At this moment, Erza pushed through the crowd and approached one of the staff members from behind, tapping his shoulder sternly.
"Tell me, what's the situation right now?"
"Who are you? This area has been quarantined. Leave immediately!"
The staff member, upon seeing Erza, immediately confronted her angrily.
However, instead of an explanation, he received a hard headbutt from Erza.
"What's the situation right now?"
Without an answer, Erza swiftly moved to the second staff member.
This staff member, frightened, only paused for a few seconds before receiving the same headbutt and passing out.
Erza then approached the third staff member with the same question.
"Looks like she only needs someone who can answer her questions!"
Lucy watched as Erza took down each staff member one by one, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
After just a morning of interaction, Lucy had discovered that while Erza appeared normal on the surface, she was actually quite unique. For example, when Natsu had been suffering from motion sickness on the train, Erza's solution was to punch him unconscious.
"This is Erza, the Queen of Fairy Tail. You must answer her questions immediately and do what she asks right away. Otherwise, you might get a taste of her iron-hard fists and headbutts in the next second."
At this point, Gray, who had somehow stripped down to just his boxers, shrugged and explained.
"Maybe she's just a bit clueless or straightforward!"
Jerry also grimaced at the scene.
In his opinion, if you ignored Erza's gender and beauty and viewed her as a straightforward, serious, and muscular man, her actions would seem perfectly normal.
"Let's go in. The Iron Forest Guild's mages are inside, and the military's combat forces just rushed in but haven't come out yet."
Erza quickly walked over and waved at Jerry and the others.
With her straightforward and direct questioning, she had obtained the most accurate information from the terrified staff members in the shortest time possible.
By now, Natsu had finally recovered from his motion sickness.
Thus, the five of them, along with their cat, swiftly rushed into the train station.
"The military forces have been completely wiped out!"
As soon as they entered the station, they discovered the bodies of soldiers in the kingdom's armor scattered on the ground.
Clearly, the so-called military combat forces were no match for the Iron Forest Guild's mages.
Jerry wasn't surprised by this.
According to Lucy, the Iron Forest Guild had nearly two hundred mages and, before being expelled from the guild alliance, specialized in assassination missions. The guild's overall strength was also among the top in the alliance.
Especially their strongest ace mage, Eligoyle, who was known as the "Reaper."
A guild of such power couldn't be defeated by ordinary military forces.
After passing the fallen kingdom soldiers, they soon entered the main hall of the train station, where they encountered the over two hundred mages of the Iron Forest Guild and their master, the Reaper Eligoyle.
"Flies of Fairy Tail, you've finally come!"
Holding a Reaper's scythe Magic tool, Eligoyle didn't seem surprised by Erza and the others' arrival. Instead, he used his wind Magic to fly above the hall.
"Are you Eligoyle? What do you plan to do with the Cursed Flute?"
Erza stepped forward and demanded an answer.
Jerry didn't pay attention to the conversation between Eligoyle and Erza. Instead, he first sensed the magic power within Eligoyle.
"Eligoyle's magic power is impressive, but it doesn't match Erza at her peak. He must be very close to S-Class!"
The top combatant of a well-known guild is only approaching S-Class, while Fairy Tail has five S-Class mages, a member of the Ten Saints, and several others like Natsu and Gray who are nearly S-Class.
At this moment, Jerry finally understood why Fairy Tail was considered the strongest guild.
"Kill them and show them the power of our dark guild!"
Eligoyle waved to his subordinates and then used wind magic to flash out of the hall.
Seeing this, Erza summoned a magic sword.
"Natsu, Gray, go stop Eligoyle. I'll handle these here!"
At this moment, her magic power was still not fully restored after driving the magic-powered vehicle, so she couldn't catch up with Eligoyle and had to stay behind to deal with the lesser opponents.
Natsu and Gray, though they felt confident they could handle the situation alone without their rival getting in the way, didn't dare to disobey their leader. They both chased after Eligoyle.
"It won't be that easy to find Big Brother Eligoyle!"
At that moment, a mage who looked like Nara Shikamaru slapped his hands on the ground, and dozens of shadows stretched out from beneath him, reaching toward Natsu and Gray.
"Shadow Bind?"
Jerry's eyes twitched as he watched the mage's magic.
"Be careful!"
Lucy quickly warned them.
However, just as she spoke, she heard Jerry muttering a spell.
Next, she saw dozens of shadows stretching out from beneath Jerry, moving faster than the shadows from the Iron Forest mage, and blocking Natsu and Gray from behind.
"Impossible!"
The mage who had used the shadow magic, standing in front of them, was completely stunned.
As the third-in-command of the Iron Forest Guild, his shadow magic was rare in the magic world, and few people could master it. Moreover, the fact that Jerry could accurately intercept every shadow he extended showed a level of control clearly superior to his own.
"Jerry, you know shadow magic?"
Lucy looked at Jerry with surprise.
Jerry smiled.
"Oh, I just know a bit!"
Indeed, shadow magic was something he had learned from the Tarot card "The Hanged Man." While it was relatively common, he hadn't spent much time deeply studying it. Compared to time, soul, and spatial magic, he wasn't particularly proficient.
However, even so, with his magic power and understanding of magic, he was far superior to the mage in front of him.
"Shadow Bind!"
He muttered the spell again, and the mage who had used the shadow magic was instantly wrapped in a mass of shadows, rendering him unable to cast any more spells and losing his combat ability.
The mage, who was skilled in controlling shadow magic, probably never imagined that one day, he would be bound by his own shadows.
