Chapter 20 - Grand-Scale Offensive: Multi-Front Harem Assault

The first light of dawn broke over Fiore, casting long shadows across the Shimmering Valley. But the tranquility was false—every breeze carried the residue of enemy mana, every cloud reflected the scattered, fragmented forces of the black-flame and storm factions. Intelligence gathered during the previous night's Absolute Harem Reconnaissance had revealed multiple concentrated enemy positions: fortified encampments, mana depots, and training grounds now vulnerable to a preemptive strike.

Thomas stood at the center of the guild's strategic map, the Absolute Harem Convergence humming beneath his skin like a contained storm. Beside him, Lucy projected shimmering mana threads across the holographic battlefield, Mirajane flexed her wings with quiet readiness, Juvia's water aura rippled in anticipation, and Erza's hand rested on her sword hilt, eyes sweeping every calculated path.

System Notification:

Absolute Harem Convergence: Maximum Output Confirmed. Multi-Front Assault Protocol Active. Enemy Faction Vulnerability Indexed.

Thomas spoke, voice firm, commanding:

"Today, we strike at every vulnerable point simultaneously. Every flank, every supply line, every isolated unit—our goal is total disruption and control. Harem units, maintain full synchronization. Guild members, execute assigned positions with precision. We leave nothing to chance."

Lucy's celestial spirits sparkled, ready to extend reconnaissance and offensive capabilities across the battlefield.

"Thomas, the distant outposts are lightly defended. We can neutralize them quickly and redirect forces to heavier concentrations."

Mirajane's black wings flexed, aura dark and imposing.

"Eastern flank will intercept storm reinforcements. Juvia, your water control and my demonic strikes will prevent counterattacks."

Juvia nodded, her water swirling in preparation.

"Juvia… will adapt to every scenario. Every enemy that moves, we control."

Erza's voice was calm and precise.

"Central assault routes anchored. Any rogue units will be intercepted. Absolute coordination."

Thomas exhaled, channeling lightning through his body, allowing it to pulse in tandem with the harem. The system fed him real-time tactical feedback. Every subunit, every attack, every movement was integrated into a single flowing strategy.

The guild mobilized. Outside the central hall, Fairy Tail mages surged forward under protective wards, synchronized with the Absolute Harem Convergence. Thomas and the harem moved like a singular entity, splitting into multiple operational points.

Phase One – Eastern Flank:

Mirajane and Juvia advanced through forests dense with storm residue. Patrolling constructs and scouts moved into range. Mirajane's Satan Soul unleashed a whirlwind of demonic strikes while Juvia's water currents captured patrol squads mid-flight. Absolute Harem Convergence allowed them to predict enemy paths before movement occurred, neutralizing threats without triggering alarms.

Phase Two – Central Outpost:

Thomas and Lucy infiltrated fortified black-flame outposts. Lightning pulses destabilized mana containment while Lucy's spirits immobilized enemy mages silently. Crystalline mana cores shattered under synchronized attacks, their energy diffused harmlessly. Every strike, every pulse of mana was calculated with perfect timing.

Phase Three – Northern Consolidation:

Erza anchored the defensive lines, intercepting rogue reinforcements attempting to reinforce the eastern and central fronts. Her sword strikes created mana shockwaves that disrupted coordinated enemy formations, ensuring that the Absolute Harem Convergence's subunits remained uninterrupted.

System Notification:

Multi-Front Assault: Absolute Harem Convergence Efficiency 98%. Subunit Coordination Perfect. Enemy Faction Neutralization Ongoing. Tactical Advantage Secured.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted above the eastern flank—a storm anomaly fragment, larger and more volatile than previous encounters. Mirajane's wings flared, black aura extending like a shadowed hurricane.

"Juvia! Brace!"

Water spiraled violently around the construct, stabilizing its movement for Mirajane's attack. With synchronized strikes, they shattered the anomaly, lightning from Thomas's distant pulse tracing residual energy flows to fully neutralize it.

At the central outpost, the black-flame commanders reacted, attempting to retreat with mana stores. Lucy and Thomas intercepted with precision, Lucy's celestial spirits forming binding conduits while Thomas's lightning incapacitated operators without collateral damage. Absolute synchronization allowed subunits to converge instantaneously, cutting off escape and neutralizing enemy leadership.

System Alert:

Absolute Harem Convergence: Maximum Adaptive Combat Achieved. Multi-Target Precision: 100%. Enemy Faction Command Disrupted.

Across the battlefield, Fairy Tail's guild members executed defensive and offensive maneuvers under the harem's guidance. Enemy morale plummeted as their operations collapsed under the coordinated strikes.

Thomas looked across the field, observing the efficiency of Absolute Harem Convergence in action. His harem mirrored his resolve, each member a node in a living, adaptive combat matrix.

"This is it," he murmured. "Every disruption, every strike… every synchronized pulse. The guild is unstoppable when we move together."

By nightfall, the multi-front assault was complete. Enemy positions were in disarray, supply lines severed, storm and black-flame forces fragmented. Intelligence gathered during the operation provided a full map of enemy movements and potential reinforcements.

Mirajane landed beside Thomas, wings folding slowly.

"The factions are scattered… but not destroyed. They'll regroup, and stronger lieutenants will appear."

Juvia's water aura shimmered faintly.

"Juvia… feels the convergence… it's beyond anything we've done. We are unstoppable… together."

Lucy's celestial spirits shimmered, mapping every residual energy spike.

"We now have a predictive advantage. We can anticipate their next moves before they act."

Erza sheathed her sword, scanning the horizon.

"The guild has the upper hand—but the real battle is approaching. The masters behind these factions are still out there. Absolute Harem Convergence is our edge—but we'll need every ounce of it."

Thomas exhaled, the pulse of mana from his harem vibrating in harmony with his own.

"Then we prepare. Every strike, every plan, every coordinated move… this is our tempo now. Enemy forces will bend to our initiative. Absolute Harem Convergence… guide us."

Above the battlefield, the storm clouds reflected residual enemy energy, slowly dissipating under the guild's overwhelming presence. The offensive had succeeded—precision, strategy, and harem synergy had dismantled the first coordinated wave of attacks. Yet Thomas knew the ultimate confrontation with the masters orchestrating these factions was still ahead.

The war had entered a new phase—and the Absolute Harem Convergence was about to be tested beyond all limits.
