Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

Erza again changed from her regular armor and now was wearing a different set that consisted of a bulky, darkly colored armor. The armor on her body was made up of two parts. The first part, a lower plate that covered her stomach and most of her chest bore simple diamonds and stripes pattern engraved into it near the top. Above the decoration laid another plate that hanged around her neck and went to her midsection, extending over the top plate was four round, metallic extensions which attached underneath the plate and around the neck. The neck featured a large cylindrical plate which was sectioned off into six progressively large sections. Around each shoulder were bulky shoulder guards with four distinctive sections with a large spike jutting off to separate each section to the next. The armor featured gauntlets that were bulky in size and sported the same patterns as the rest of the armor, and that was where half of the shield was attached to. Half of the shield was attached to one arm and when they came together they formed a powerful adamantine shield that resisted a variety of powerful attacks. This was Erza's Adamantine Armor.

The reason for such armor was the building standing before the Guild and its gathered members. The strange part about the building was not the design, the design was rather nice and imposing, but the fact that the building was sitting on a patch of the earth that had robotic spider legs raising it into the sky was the strange part. Not only that, but a canon was seen coming out of the middle of the building and it was directed towards the Guild and everyone present. Haruto's eyes locked onto Wendy's as they widened in horror, Phantom Lord was targeting every member of Fairy Tail, and Wendy would be hurt if he did not stop the incoming blast of magic. As the large magic circle appeared before the cannon and magic began to charge and a large black sphere began forming before it and the magic circle, Haruto pushed himself as fast as his legs could go adding chakra to boost his speed. Knowing it was going to take him longer to reach the spot than the cannon to fire so he went for another route. The cannon glowed with magic as a beam of concentrated magic energy flew towards the spot where Erza stood with her shield locked and waiting for the incoming blast. The massive beam of magical energy reached them and every member of the Guild closed their eyes as the glowing energy got closer. They had faith in Erza, but to stop something of that caliber was going to be tough. And so everyone including Erza had their eyes closed and waited for their fate. Nii-san! Wendy thought as she closed her eyes tightly and hugged Carla just as tight, waiting for the blast to impact against Erza's shield.

But the blast never came, the Guild had their eyes closed as they continued to wait but after a few seconds and not feeling the impact of the magical blast they opened their eyes and looked around warily. And much to their surprise, they had a large arm wrapped around them keeping them safe from the impact of the blast. Sure it was strange for a massive arm to wrap around them, but the Master had done it all the time. But the arm was not normal, it was blue. The arm was made up of blue 'magic', it was similar to the technique Haruto had used during the fight against Lullaby from what they heard, but Haruto's could be seen through. They followed the arm and soon they saw the entire figure, it was massive. The warrior garbed in traditional Samurai robes with armor and all wrapped around its body and forearms, on its shoulder there were large bulky shoulder guards as well. Behind the warrior were a set of wings. On its face there was a tengu-like nose and glowing blue eyes that were leaking power along with two horns growing from the top of its forehead, hair from the warrior was spiky as bangs framed the warriors face that reached down to its nose. In the hands of the warrior it held a spear in one hand, the spear had a long handle, that reached down to the upper part of the warrios shins and the spear itself was long, it made up a good portion of the weapon and reached up to the head of the blue warrior. The spear not only was it long, but on the blade was engraved in kanji, though they could be hard to see they spelled out the words Tonbokiri. Tonbokiri was a legendary spear that was famed as legends said during its creation, a dragonfly landed on it and instantly the dragonfly was sliced into two. And thus the name of the spear, Tobonkiri or also known as Dragonfly Cutter. Between the horns and in the middle of the blue warriors forehead a pentagon like shape was where Haruto was situated, he overlooked the area with a face full of rage.

The entire Guild let loose a sigh of relief as they saw Haruto standing up there cloaked around his massive blue warrior of destruction. That was when the finally got out of the shock from the event that had just transpired. Haruto too let loose a sigh of relief as he had made it on time before the blast hit, though he did trust Erza and her capabilities he could not take the risk with Wendy's safety. He would never do such a thing, he no longer wished to play the villain he now wished to protect not destroy. Though he did not wish to show off one of his most powerful techniques, it could not be helped. The action followed the words he had lived by, "The end justifies the means" those words were passed onto him and that was how he lived by those words. The words could be deciphered as either good or bad as it opened up the doors for actions that were not as pleasant, it did not matter how another thought of those words. He never did and never would, that was how he lived his life and for his goal he would protect Wendy, even if it meant giving revealing all of his secrets in exchange. The technique he had used was called the "Complete Body—Susano'o", technically it was not a technique as it was classified as a stage his Susano'o took when it reached a certain point. But he considered it as one due to the power it held, the sheer power dwarfed his regular Susano'o's it wasn't even funny how powerful this stage was. It was like comparing a mouse to a elephant, the difference was astronomical.

Haruto turned his attention to the moving Guildhall of the enemy Guild. His Susano'o stood up and now stood before the moving building, the height difference was not very big, but that alone did not say much about their power differences. The Susano'o lifted the spear it held and took a swing of it and a wave of blue energy shot out from it and flew towards the building in a quick paste, slicing off the legs of the building and forcing it onto the ground, the arc of blue energy was not done yet as it continued across the skies and sliced off a few mountain tops from the mountain ranges near Magnolia town like it was nothing and still continued to fly across the sky not slowing down at all even though it passed through many obstacles already. That alone demonstrated a little bit of power this form of his Susano'o held, it sliced off mountain tops as if it was nothing and that was from taking a swing of his spear. And the power alone got the Phantom Lord Guild members and members of his own Guild gawking at the massive blue warrior in complete and utter disbelief from the display. Before any of them could react, Susano'o used the free hand and swatted the top of the building away. Thankfully the rubble did not land anywhere in the town as the power from the simple swat sent the rubble towards the large lake near the forested area.

"You have just made your biggest mistake!" Haruto yelled out in rage as his Susano'o began to disappear from existence as he was soon dropped onto the earth, "I am coming for you Jose!"

That was what allowed the Phantom Lord group to shake themselves out of the shock and prepare for the incoming attack from the redhead and the rest of the Fairy Tail Guild. Though they had an advantage, the damned redhead just took it and got rid of it like that. Not only that but they were scared, the power the redhead showed dwarfed everyone's in an unpleasant way, it was just shocking the difference between them where. It was no mere gap that differentiated the power between them, it was a canyon. The power of the massive blue ethereal warrior just squashed what little moral was left in the hearts of all. Yet the same demonstration ignited the hopes of all of the Fairy Tail members as they all were joyously celebrating. Jose who was situated inside the building got over his shock and slammed his fist against the throne he sat on, his eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions, ranging from curiosity, fear, and rage. Though rage filled his heart, he could not shake off the feeling of despair and utter helplessness when he saw the blue ethereal warrior, how could he not. The monster sliced off mountain tops with a simple swing of its weapon, it would have been astounding for someone to not fear the power behind the technique.

'lI'll make these brats pay! Phantom Lord will become the strongest Guild! Jose thought as his fear vanished and replaced with rage. Bringing his hands up, Jose channeled magic into his hands and soon a black and purple magic circle formed before him and multiple shadows came out of them. The ghost like creatures rushed out of the room and headed in the direction of the Fairy Tail mages. "You Fairies have survived long enough! It is time for the Phantoms to clip your wings!" Jose yelled out from the loudspeaker as his Shades engaged the enemy forces much to his pleasure seeing them unable to counter his Shades.

The more he watched from the projection Lacrima the more his smile grew. Fairy Tail was having trouble with his soldiers and seeing them struggle was what the man enjoyed the most. It was very entertaining seeing the Fairies trying t fight the Shades he had sent. Jose continued to watch as little by little a few of the mages were damaged by his soldiers, he chuckled at the scene before a full blown laugh escaped his lips as he continued to watch. The sinister laugh rang through the halls as the Guild Master of Phantom Lord watched on in pure joy as the Fairies continued to struggle. But something seemed to slip from his mind as he continued laughing as he continued to watch, his mind was too focused on the entertainment before him that he forgot about Haruto.
