Chapter 714: Leave it to Feng Ye
Chapter 714: Leave it to Feng Ye
Boom!!
With a thunderous roar, several gigantic creatures retracted their wings and descended from the sky, landing on the ground before the Fairy Tail guild, causing the earth to tremble.
On the back of one of these massive beasts was a red-haired girl in armor, brandishing a spear. She leaped down, landing with a formidable stance, followed by a vast army from the Kingdom.
She was—
Alusa Nightwalker!
Captain of the Second Magic Combat Team of the Kingdom Army, also known as Alusa the Fairy Hunter!
In this parallel world of Edolas, Alusa is not a member of Fairy Tail but a captain in the Kingdom Army, leading the force that pursues and hunts down the members of Fairy Tail.
"Alusa... Nightwalker," Lucy whispered, a sense of heavy pressure settling on her as she beheld Alusa, spear in hand, leading a large contingent of the Kingdom Army toward them.
In Edolas, when the king decreed the dissolution of all magic guilds and the confiscation of magical artifacts, the magic guilds of this world had banded together to form a united front in defiance. However, they were ultimately crushed by the Kingdom Army.
The primary reason for their defeat was the presence of Alusa on the Kingdom's side; her personal strength had been the deciding factor that tilted the scales in their favor.
Furthermore, not long ago, Lisanna from Edolas had fallen off a cliff while being pursued by Alusa. The members of Fairy Tail seethed with resentment toward Alusa, but they also feared her formidable power.
"Still thinking of resisting?" Alusa took measured steps forward, and despite her height being similar to Lucy's, she exuded an aura of dominance as she looked down on the group. Her voice was cold and detached as she said, "It's about time you surrendered, fairies."
Lucy clutched the magic whip in her hand tightly, her gaze fixed on Alusa. "I'm sorry, but the Fairy Tail guild will never yield!" she declared through gritted teeth.
"Hmph!" Alusa snorted coldly, brandishing her spear as she charged at Lucy. "If you refuse to surrender, then vanish from this world!"
Seeing Alusa rush forward, Gray and Mira, standing behind Lucy, braced themselves and joined forces with her to face Alusa. Together, they brandished their weapons, determined to halt Alusa's advance.
But...
With mere contemptuous flicks of her spear, Alusa effortlessly disarmed Gray, sending his weapon flying before kicking him back. She then nimbly dodged Lucy's attack and simultaneously parried, forcing Lucy back.
Alusa leaped into the air and let out a mighty battle cry. With both hands gripping her spear, she brought it down in a fierce chop, cleaving Mira's magic sword in two!
In just three moves, Alusa had defeated the trio led by Lucy.
"She's... too strong," the Fairy Tail members behind them whispered, their eyes wide with shock and fear. Alusa seemed even more powerful than she had been just half a month ago. The combined efforts of Lucy, Gray, and Mira were no match for her!
"Damn it..." Lucy fell to the ground, her face contorted with frustration as she watched Alusa approach. She struggled to get back to her feet, but Alusa had already leveled her spear at her, ready to strike.
Alusa stood tall, looking down at Lucy, who was seated on the ground. Her eyes held a hint of indifference as she said, "Those who go against the will of His Majesty the King have no place in this world."
As she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she mercilessly thrust her spear toward Lucy's chest, intending to pierce her body and end her life before the members of Fairy Tail.
Something strange happened, as if time itself slowed to a crawl. Elsa's thrust seemed to hang in the air, moving ever so slowly towards Lucy.
"What is this...?"
Lucy stared at the unfolding scene, bewildered.
She tried to get up and back away, but to her astonishment, her movements had slowed down as well, as if time had slowed to a fraction of its normal speed, not matching her thoughts at all.
It wasn't just her; Elsa, Gray, Mira, and the others nearby were all affected, their physical actions slowed to a crawl while their minds raced. Everyone wore expressions of confusion and shock.
And in this world, where time had slowed to a crawl...
Step, step, step...
Accompanied by the sound of ordinary footsteps, a young man with silver-white hair and a gentle, sunny disposition walked towards them from the direction of the guild.
His gait was unremarkable, but in this moment, it stood out, as he was the only one unaffected by the sudden slowdown, moving at a normal speed.
This drew everyone's attention towards him.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Feng Ye approached with a calm demeanor, coming to a stop in front of Lucy. He bent his finger and gently flicked Elsa's spear, which was aimed at Lucy.
Ding!!
A crisp metallic clang rang out as Elsa felt an irresistible force transmitted through her spear, causing her to lose her grip. The spear flew to the side.
"This is..."
Lucy stared at the scene, dumbfounded, her eyes shifting to Feng Ye, a trace of incredulity appearing in her eyes. What had this man from another world's Fairy Tail done?!
Not just her, but everyone else's eyes reflected a similar incredulity. Undoubtedly, Feng Ye had used some sort of ability to slow down time!
And in the next moment...
Swish!!
Time seemed to snap back to normal, and the spear in Elsa's hand, which had been slowly drifting to the side, suddenly accelerated, taking her whole body with it as she flew sideways.
She tightly gripped the spear's handle and struggled to flip herself in the air, barely stabilizing her body. After spinning around, she landed several meters away.
"You..."
Lucy stood up and looked at Feng Ye, her mind racing with too many thoughts to put into words.
Feng Ye gave her a casual smile and then stepped forward, passing by her and facing Elsa and the vast Kingdom Army, his expression calm.
"Hey, you..."
Lucy watched Feng Ye's actions, realizing that he intended to help them. She understood this in an instant, as Feng Ye was, after all, a member of Fairy Tail from another world. However, she was still puzzled by the ability he had just displayed.
Even if Feng Ye's ability was extraordinary, it was too dangerous for him to go there alone, facing Elsa and the entire Kingdom Army.
But before she could say anything, Lisanna ran over from behind and pulled her back, reassuring her with a smile. "Leave it to Feng Ye. He's the strongest wizard in our world's guild!"
