The battle situation was a one-sided massacre.
In the face of the furious Fairy Tail, Fire Snake did not possess the slightest bit of resistance. Like clay chickens or pottery dogs, the Wizards were beaten by the Wizards of Fairy Tail until they fled in all directions, wishing their parents had given them two extra legs.
"Dammit!!"
"How can they be this strong?!!"
"Run! Get out of here quickly!"
The Wizards scrambled to escape, fleeing in panic toward the exit of the tavern.
However, the Wizards of Fairy Tail showed no intention of giving chase.
The reason, naturally, was...
"Something is blocking the path!"
An exclamation of shock rang out from the distance.
Following closely was a second cry, then a third.
"Dammit! We can't get out!!"
"It's the same over here!"
"This is bad, we're trapped here!"
"What on earth is this?!!"
"I remember now, this is Jutsu Shiki magic!"
"Rumor has it that the 'Fairy Commander' is particularly skilled at Jutsu Shiki traps. It was precisely by relying on this ability that he repeatedly gained strategic advantages in previous wars."
A circle of purple-black magical barriers, centered on the guild tavern and spanning a radius of a hundred meters, formed an independent domain.
Within a hundred meters, anyone could move freely.
Beyond a hundred meters, a string of text floated in the air—
[Members of the 'Fire Serpent's Eye' guild cannot leave this place]
Jutsu Shiki magic!
An absolutely unbreakable rule!
When Weston led the Wizards of Fairy Tail to the 'Forest of Fire Snakes,' after using detection magic to create a map, he immediately set up similar Jutsu Shiki magic throughout the forest to prevent enemies from escaping.
Once all preparations were complete, he launched the general offensive.
The sentences were written using ancient script, which very few people in this era could accurately decipher.
Since even normal deciphering was difficult, wanting to modify it was harder than reaching the heavens.
The commotion from outside reached the tavern, causing the hearts of the Wizards still remaining inside to tighten.
At this very moment, they realized an incredibly terrifying thing—
There is a Jutsu Shiki trap here, so what about the strongholds of the other fifteen dark guilds?
If those places have them too, doesn't that mean reinforcements won't be coming?
No!
The person before them is the 'Fairy Commander' who almost single-handedly secured the war victory for the current Queen of Fiore!
Since he could lead the Fairy Tail Wizards here, could he have failed to notice the existence of other guilds along the way?
Since he noticed, would he fail to take any countermeasures?
Impossible!
Therefore...
Reinforcements most likely won't be coming!
If they wanted to get out of the 'Jutsu Shiki Trap,' the only way was to defeat them!
In the end, it still boiled down to a contest between the two guilds...
"He directly sealed off all the backup measures I had reserved. The 'Fairy Commander' indeed does not have an empty reputation..."
Feros stood up, looking at Weston and the others gathered in the tavern with a complicated expression.
A clash between two guilds was, of course, guild master against guild master, and others against others.
Weston turned his gaze toward Feros: "Are you the one who laid a hand on my companions?"
"That was a gift I sent to 'Fairy Tail.' You should accept it with a heart full of gratitude!"
The 'gift' he spoke of naturally referred to attacking Hugh and Stuart, and branding the 'Fire Serpent's Eye' guild emblem onto them with flames.
"I have always been a generous person. Since you sent a gift, I shall naturally return it a hundredfold or a thousandfold!"
The two sides disagreed, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Weston took the lead, launching a fierce attack with his fists.
But Feros's strength was clearly not comparable to the lackeys under him; at least in terms of reaction speed, he was much faster.
At the same time Weston rushed up, he immediately raised both hands, forming an 'X' posture in front of him to block.
With a 'clap' sound, the fists and arms of both sides collided.
The powerful punch sent a shockwave through the air, but Feros's footsteps did not retreat in the slightest.
This proved that not only was his strength great enough, but his lower body was also stable enough.
However, wanting to block Weston's fist was not that easy.
His right fist tightened, and magic surged to reinforce the punching power.
The attack that had already stopped exerted force once again!
"Fairy Fist!!"
Boom—!!
Greater and heavier power suddenly erupted from the fist, condensing into an invisible shockwave that charged straight forward.
"What...?!"
Feros's expression changed drastically. Caught off guard, he was directly sent flying into the air by this shockwave.
Weston did not allow his opponent any room to breathe. Like a fierce tiger hunting for food, he pounced forward and jumped above Feros.
He raised both arms high and clenched both hands into fists, while simultaneously condensing powerful light magic on his fists.
A dazzling golden flash instantly filled the entire tavern and shone through the open doors, windows, and holes, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of meters.
The Wizards engaged in fierce battle nearby were blinded by this golden light, and even the movements in their hands stopped instinctively.
"Fairy Flash!!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, Weston's fists smashed down like heavy hammers, striking Feros directly in the abdomen.
Boom—!!
Feros crashed heavily into the ground, kicking up dust several dozen feet high.
Seeing this, the Wizards of 'Fire Serpent's Eye' were all terrified.
"No way, the guild master... he..."
"Don't... don't... don't be nervous. The guild master isn't that easily defeated... probably..."
Weston landed back on the ground, quietly waiting for the dust to clear.
"Cough, cough... cough, cough..."
"As expected of someone who could be favored by the Council. You indeed have some skills."
As the dust cleared, Feros had already stood up.
The clothes on his body had been shattered by Weston's strike just now. He was currently bare-chested, revealing solid, bulging muscles.
The pectoral muscles were huge and the abdominal muscles were neat, a level that could attract fitness enthusiasts.
However, at this moment, an extra mark appeared on that bare abdomen.
Of course, it wasn't the Fairy Tail guild emblem!
Weston would not tarnish his own guild's image.
What he branded on the opponent was just a simple 'X' shaped pattern.
"It hurts so much!"
"To actually leave a scar on my body. I will definitely settle this debt!"
Thud!
Feros said this as he took a heavy step forward. His elephant-like physique instantly blew away the surrounding dust.
Next, his magic power began to surge, and his appearance began to change.
His physique expanded by nearly a quarter, causing his height to soar to nearly three meters.
At the same time, that fiery red hair lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye and split into the shapes of poisonous snakes behind his head.
He looked like 'Medusa' from ancient Greek mythology.
Not only that, smooth and hard red scales also emerged on the surface of his skin.
"Demonization?"
Weston narrowed his eyes, thinking of Marc from the 'City of Outlaws' who had undergone demonization back then.
But soon, he sensed the difference between the two and overturned that thought.
"No, that's not right!"
"This is... Take Over magic!!!"
