[Macau even straightened his back and roared towards the direction of the Spectre.]
"Hey! Joseph's guys! You're all doomed! Hahaha!!"
Marcao's words instantly drew loud echoes from countless people.
"Yeah, yeah, Natsu's back! We've got this in the bag!"
"With Natsu, Erza, Mirajane, and the others together, I don't even know how we're supposed to lose."
"Joseph's guys have really messed up this time!!!"
The excited shouts reached Joseph's ears.
The face that was just moments before filled with smiles instantly turned unpredictable.
Especially after seeing Gajeel lying at Black Natsu's feet, limp like a dead pig.
Joseph's anger was like a volcano about to erupt!
[His fist slammed uncontrollably onto the seat.]
The veins on his face bulged out like long worms.
"So...the four generals I sent out...have all failed, right?"
Joseph's deep voice resounded across the sky through the loudspeakers.
"It wasn't just a failure!"
Happy, who had followed Henna to the battlefield, spoke up.
A cat's face was filled with smugness.
"In short, it was four against one, and three of them were killed. Joseph, the men you sent out weren't up to par!"
"Four against one??"
"So, Natsu was attacked by Joseph's men not long ago?"
"No wonder we haven't seen the four elements yet."
"So, they all went to ambush Natsu!"
"Damn Joseph, how despicable! A sneak attack is bad enough, but he also used sheer numbers!"
"However, it's a pity he chose the wrong opponent. Joseph probably never dreamed that four against one would be able to turn the tables and kill three of them, leaving one crippled."
[A burst of unrestrained laughter echoed from the Fairy Tail direction.]
Harpy's psychological warfare tactics are not over yet.
It flapped its wings and flew into the air.
[Facing the direction of the Ghost Guild. 】
"Oh, right, and this too!"
With that, Happy took the backpack that had been tied around his neck off and threw it into the air.
A gentle breeze brushed against my face.
The backpacks opened, and countless flags fluttered down, dancing in the air with the blowing wind.
[Although many of the flags were damaged.]
But everyone present recognized the symbol on the flag! It was the symbol of a ghost.
"The banner of the Spectre..."
"So many? Does that mean he wiped out the entire Phantom Lord's branch all by himself?"
The Fairy Tail members stared blankly at the Phantom Banner fluttering in mid-air.
"What an amazing guy. I knew he went to cause trouble for Phantom Lord alone, but... I never expected him to go this far," Mirajane exclaimed.
"However... it's truly a pity I couldn't participate in this."
She clenched her fists, her face filled with resentment.
"Is it really worth getting so excited about? It's so dangerous." Lisanna shook her head, not understanding Mirajane's feelings.
"Besides, aren't we still locked in a stalemate with Phantom Lord right now?"
"The Phantom Lords' headquarters are all here."
Mirajane looked at her sister, then sighed, "You still don't understand, Lisanna."
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Honez's direction.
"Now that he's shown up, this war is basically over for us."
"The war will be over soon. After all that, we didn't even lift a finger. It's a really painful feeling, you know?"
Mirajane talked on and on, but Lisanna clearly wasn't paying attention.
All attention was focused on Mirajane's single sentence.
The war is about to end!
The Fairy Tail members thought so too, and cheers, shouts, and encouragement echoed throughout the area.
It was as if the moment Henna appeared, the victory was already secured.
In stark contrast was Joseph.
Joseph's anger grew even stronger as he watched the laughing goblins.
He clenched his fists tightly.
[I can no longer sit peacefully inside the castle.]
He stood up and stomped his feet heavily on the ground.
He leaped up towards the ceiling that his magic had just breached.
[His figure landed on the platform atop the castle.]
[Reaching the edge of the railing, he shouted towards the direction of the fairy tail in the distance.]
"You ignorant brat, do you really think that just because you survived the encirclement of the four elements, you can control the outcome of this battle?!"
He raised his fist: "He's just a brat..."
"You think you can be so arrogant just because you defeated another brat?!"
A tremendous amount of magical power continuously erupted from his body.
The terrifying magical power of a Saint-level Tenth Grader was on full display at this moment.
Dark purple magic surged forth, shooting into the sky like dark purple clouds, almost covering the horizon!
"Damn brats! I'm not giving you any more hope!"
"Fairy Tail will become history starting today!!!"
As Joseph finished speaking, countless hysterical roars echoed throughout the castle!
As if in response to Joseph, all the Phantom Mages within the castle poured out in droves.
They stood in disarray atop the massive stone that was dragging the castle.
They brandished their weapons, shouting wildly towards Fairy Tail.
"See that? This is the true power of the Phantom!"
"In terms of high-level combat power, even if the Four Elements and Gajeel were to perish together, I would still still exist!"
"In terms of conventional combat strength, my ghosts outnumber your fairies by several times, even dozens of times. What do you think you have to fight us with?!"
"A bunch of damn brats!!"
Joseph shouted at the top of his lungs, his cheeks turning bright red.
But the madness in his eyes remained undiminished.
"This is the last way out for you, 117!"
"Hand over Lucy Heartfilia!!"
[Fairy Tail direction.]
Henna turned to look at Lucy.
Lucy trembled involuntarily when her name was called again.
[She silently lowered her head.]
"Natsu, Lucy is...?"
Erza, seeing this, quickly tried to come forward to explain.
But Henna waved his hand dismissively.
"As far as I know, Gajeel just told me everything about Lucy."
Having said that, Hazen turned his head, his gaze fixed on the source of the dark purple color: Joseph!
[He spoke in a deep voice:]
