"Open, Gate of the Giant Crab!"
Lucy knocked down all the fodder and looked at Erigor, waving a golden key as a massive magic circle expanded.
A man holding scissors and wearing blue and white stripes appeared: "Fighting today as well, baby?"
Suddenly, he felt that the summoning magic power this time was several times stronger than before, and said in shock: "Such strong magic power!"
Lucy said confidently: "Cancer, let's defeat Erigor together!"
Erigor stood in the sky, his eyes narrowing. What was going on? He actually felt pressure from this young girl.
She was clearly cowering just now... "Here I come!"
Lucy soared into the sky and kicked at Erigor, only to be sent flying by a wind blade.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Spirit Cancer rushed out, passing over Erigor's head and instantly giving him a Mediterranean-style balding haircut.
"Damn it! My hair!"
Erigor touched his bald head in a panic. Was his flowing side-swept fringe just gone like that?
He had spent a hundred thousand Jewels to get this haircut back then!
"Unforgivable!"
He roared at the sky, shaking the few tufts of hair on his head, and violently swung his giant scythe. A terrifying storm swept up, instantly knocking Lucy away.
At the same time, Natsu rushed forward in anger, flames soaring as he slammed into the tornado gale, only to be repelled the next moment, his body covered in wounds.
Acnologia saw the three of them besieging Erigor and being sent flying time and again, feeling a bit uncertain.
Was this early-game minor boss really that strong?
Erza had already activated her Heavens Wheel Armor, her body covered in bladed armor, but she still couldn't break through the gale.
Retreating, she looked back at the two leisurely watching the show and shouted angrily: "Aren't you going to help!"
Acnologia curled his lip. She didn't even call him Dad.
However, since his daughter had asked for help, he naturally couldn't pretend not to hear. Now was the perfect time to increase her favorability.
His figure flashed, and he tore the gale apart with his bare hands, grabbing Erigor's head and slamming it into the ground. With a loud bang, a deep crater was smashed into the concrete.
Erza, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy—the three humans and one cat—watched in stunned silence. They hadn't even seen a shadow; in the blink of an eye, Erigor had been defeated.
Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?
Acnologia casually tossed the heavily injured and unconscious Erigor aside and said smugly, "You three are still far from it."
"You're so strong, yet you just stood by and watched us get beaten up!"
Erza was instantly furious and kicked at him, but Acnologia stepped back to dodge.
"Don't be mad. I just wanted you to experience combat training. Otherwise, how would you grow?"
Acnologia quickly explained, "The moment you said to act, didn't I act immediately!"
"All excuses!"
Erza snorted coldly. She had seen through it long ago; this bastard dad was just waiting for her to call for help.
Acnologia looked innocent. In truth, even if he hadn't stepped in, the three could have defeated Erigor. They were just one BGM away from success.
"Acnologia, I'm going to challenge you when we get back. I must become as strong as you!"
Natsu said, somewhat unwillingly.
"Of course, no problem..."
Acnologia said, "Your magic can turn emotions into flames. That is to say, the angrier you are, the stronger your power becomes!"
"Is that so?" Natsu said thoughtfully. He seemed to have felt a burst of flame power becoming stronger just now.
Lucy walked over, rubbing her rear. "Mission accomplished. Can we go back now?"
She had just been blown away by a gust of wind, and her butt had almost split in two from the fall.
Erza also returned to her usual attire. "Let's go. We're heading back."
Natsu said unwillingly, "I haven't fought enough yet!"
Acnologia reminded them, "This isn't over yet. The big boss hasn't even come out."
"Big boss?" x4
Everyone was surprised and confused.
Irene walked over and kicked the Skull Flute lying on the ground into the sewer. "A powerful demon resides within this thing, and it's about to emerge!"
Just as she finished speaking, the Magic Flute erupted with terrifying purple magic power, and an eerie voice echoed.
"Since those useless trash couldn't do it, then this demon shall devour you!"
Suddenly, a massive magic circle expanded across the sky, spanning tens of thousands of meters, with magic power sweeping in all directions.
Rumble!
A massive demon descended from the sky. He looked like a mass of withered trees. A terrifying storm destroyed all the surrounding buildings, his aura domineering and brutal.
Lucy cried out in alarm, "What on earth is that thing?"
Erza and Natsu's expressions also changed drastically. A monster they had never seen before—what was with that terrifying magic power?
Acnologia said, "That's a demon from the Book of Zeref. It might be a bit of a hassle!"
Of course, that hassle is for you all.
He felt it was time for the protagonist group to witness the power of a demon.
The demon looked down at the panicked people fleeing for their lives and laughed. "So many sweethearts. Who should I start eating first?"
"Charge! Don't be afraid!"
At this moment, the army of the Kingdom of Fiore gathered and arrived. It was hard for them not to notice such a massive monster.
"Ants! Get out of my way!"
The demon snorted coldly as a massive magic circle expanded in front of him. A purple beam of light shot out, instantly leveling a distant mountain.
However, the accuracy was poor; not a single person was killed.
The soldiers were scared out of their wits and retreated en masse, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
This situation left Acnologia speechless. The quality of the kingdom's army was too poor, even in the world of Fairy Tail.
Lucy quietly stepped back, only to be noticed by everyone. Her cheeks flushed as she covered her mouth in embarrassment. "My injuries from earlier haven't healed yet. I was worried that staying would hold everyone back."
Happy: "Are you going to leave us and run away?"
Lucy shouted in embarrassment, "Shut up!"
Boom!
The distant demon let out a roar. The terrifying sound made everyone cover their ears. A massive magic circle expanded, as it prepared to unleash a devastating strike.
Irene tapped her magic staff in the air, isolating the sound. She frowned slightly. "I'm afraid this isn't a monster they can defeat."
Acnologia didn't mind. The protagonist group only knows how to play when their health is low. Irene was still underestimating them.
He looked at the three behind him. "It's time to show your strength!"
"I'll protect the civilians, and Irene will provide support for you!"
"Natsu, you'll be able to fight to your heart's content this time!"
Hearing this, Natsu erupted in boiling flames and laughed. "I'm all fired up now!"
Erza soared into the sky, requipping in mid-air into her strongest magic-breaking and most destructive Black Wing Armor. The black armor covered her body as she charged toward the demon at high speed.
Irene waved her staff: "Enhancer Magic, Crown of God!"
Lucy felt her magic and body become stronger, her confidence returning. "The feeling of invincibility is back!"
The same went for Happy. Irene had cast Ultimate Augmentation on him, and now he had transformed into a two-meter-tall muscular cat. With muscles bulging on his back, he revealed a terrifying Demon Back, his presence even more oppressive than Natsu's!
