Chapter 287 The Approaching Crisis of the Saber-Biting Tiger
Boom boom boom boom!
The Dark Castle is engulfed in war, with the battle lines even extending into the surrounding Death Forest, where the deafening roar of magical explosions is deafening.
As the strongest dark guild on the surface, in addition to the core Seven Kin of Purgatory, Devil's Heart also has many powerful followers like Kavaz and Yumazu. However, in the original story, they did not follow Hades to attack Tenrou Island, but were responsible for guarding the headquarters.
Therefore, in terms of the size and number of the mid-level forces participating in the war, it is far greater than the attack force on Sirius Island in the original work!
Of course, Fairy Tail didn't just have the Sirius Group on their side; they also sent dozens of magicians, including Macao, Wakaba, Bisca, and Alzac, making for a rather impressive lineup.
In a series of encounters and counterattacks, the group demonstrated the full extent of their hard work in studying the Black Magic Guide, and fought fiercely against the Demon Heart Mage.
It is worth mentioning that, due to their overwhelming numerical advantage, some demon heart madmen had a wet idea and tried to seize this large magical weapon docked opposite the Dark Castle.
Makarov had naturally anticipated this situation, so the magic array for detecting evil intentions activated automatically.
The black laser precisely locks onto the enemy and guides the magical barrage, launching a comprehensive cleanup of any Demon Heart Mages that enter its attack range!
At this point, the battle between Fairy Tail and Devil Heart has reached a stalemate.
At the same time, in a coastal town far from the Forest of Death.
The bustling street, teeming with people, exudes tranquility and peace. At the end of the street stands a brand-new three-story Western-style building.
The prominent "SaberTooth" plaque above the main gate clearly indicates that this is the SaberTooth guild, which was recently renovated.
The layout of the guild is somewhat different from Fairy Tail. Upon entering the main gate, there are two circular staircases leading directly to the second floor.
To the left of the stairs are the office areas, including work desks and task boards, while to the right are rows of neatly arranged tables and chairs, which serve as a place for guild members to drink and chat during their leisure time.
After this period of development, under Uru's leadership, Sabertooth has completely escaped the predicament it faced after Germain's arrest.
Although it hasn't reached the scale of established guilds like Snake Scale or Blue Pegasus, it has still gathered many excellent magicians and holds a place in the Fiore Guild Alliance.
The reason for its rapid development is simply twofold.
Firstly, Uru, as the president, is quite famous and is a potential dark horse in this year's Ten Wizard Saints Examination.
Secondly, Sabertooth and Fairy Tail, the strongest guild in Fiore, are strategic partners around the clock!
These two points alone make Sabertooth's rise unstoppable, and mages naturally flock to it.
In reality, the current scale is the result of Uru filtering out a large number of mages with bad character and who do not meet the requirements!
On the left, at the bar, Uru, dressed in a revealing bikini, sat opposite Gray.
"The Heart of the Dark Guild Demon".
Ultear frowned, staring intently at the teacup before her, her expression complex. "I never imagined Ultear would be a member of that kind of guild—"
She learned the whole story from Gray.
When the mother and daughter reunited, she asked Urutia about her experiences over the years, but her daughter brushed her off.
From the pain that Urudia was trying so hard to hide, she had a very bad feeling.
And now, this premonition that I didn't want to face has finally been proven true.
Gray, on the other side, was equally dejected, clenching his fists tightly at his sides, unsure how to comfort Ultear—he knew that Ultear was the culprit who instigated Jellal to plan the Tower of Paradise.
Although Urudia has come to her senses and is aware of her sins, this is an unchangeable fact.
Sensing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Uru sighed softly, barely suppressing his concern and worry for Ultear, and put on a more relaxed expression: "By the way, that cute girl over there..."
"So she really is Gray's girlfriend, right?"
She pointed to Juvia, who was crouching awkwardly in the corner, muttering strange phrases like "mother-in-law" and "grandmother of eighteen children."
Uru had met Juvia, who was performing with Gray, back during Magnolia's Harvest Festival, and was very impressed with her.
"A female-female girlfriend?!"
Lost in his regret, Gray was caught off guard by the sudden topic and hurriedly explained, "We're just guildmates!"
He hasn't fully grasped the situation yet, and he's unable to confront Juvia's feelings directly, even finding them somewhat inexplicable.
"Just a guildmate? That kid practically has your face etched into his eyes."
Seeing Gray's flustered appearance, Uru's thoughts were drawn back to the happy times the three of them had shared. He propped his cheek up with one hand, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips. "I can't let that girl down," he thought.
It's rare to find someone who likes a pervert like you who takes off your clothes at the drop of a hat.
"Who do you think gave me this habit?!" Gray retorted immediately.
"Put your clothes on before you say such hurtful things."
"What?! When?! Wait! You should be dressed properly, you're the guild leader now!!"
Gray, as if channeling Lucy, pointed at Uru's revealing outfit and launched into a tirade of criticism.
Meanwhile, the activity area on the right.
Wendy and Charlene, who came together, found their good friend from the previous battle against Oración Seis—Minerva.
Minerva was overjoyed by her younger sister's sudden visit, who was a year younger than her. She introduced Wendy to Stinger and Rogue, both Dragon Slayer Mages, as well as the new members of the guild.
Wendy was surrounded by people like a little star, smiling and greeting them, but her eyes kept glancing at Stinger and Roger, who were only wearing boxer shorts, as if she was thinking about something.
Rector and Frosty learned from Charlotte about their identities as Transcendents, their homeland Edolas, and other information, which they found incredible.
At the bar, Gray glanced at Wendy, who had become the center of attention, before turning his gaze back to Uru.
"So, Uru, you really don't plan to evacuate for the time being?" His expression was somewhat serious.
Although nothing unexpected had happened before, he had a very ominous sense of crisis since just now. Ultear did not know who Hades had sent, but he knew without a doubt that they were no pushovers!
"The Light Guild has no reason to fear the Dark Guild, does it? Besides..."
Uru picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and said with a serious expression, "My guild is right here."
As the guild leader, it would be incredibly disgraceful and irresponsible to run away at the mere mention of the Dark Guild's name.
Not to mention, his daughter Urutia was also involved!
"But-"
Gray was about to say something when suddenly there was a loud "crack" as the guild door was forcefully pushed open.
"President! The Devil's Heart has appeared!!"
The sword-biting mage responsible for guarding the surrounding area rushed in, somewhat panicked and disoriented.
Uru stood up instantly, threw on a brown coat, and asked, "How many of them came?"
"There are only two. One is a little kid with short pink hair, but the other, if I'm not mistaken, should be the great mage who annihilated an entire armed company in the Kabulia War and is known as the one who leaves nothing but desolation in his wake—"
The Saber-Biting Mage, pale-faced, struggled to suppress the overwhelming fear within him. "Brunot Stega!"
"Brunot? The vice president of the Devil's Heart?!" Gray was startled when he heard the name.
According to the information transmitted by Ultear, Bruno possesses terrifying magical power capable of rivaling the Ten Wizard Saints, second only to Guild Master Hades in strength.
Its level of danger is even greater than that of the Oración Seisūsū's Mukō!
Before the operation, Makarov specifically emphasized that no one except Chess should engage in combat with him. If they did, they should not think about anything else and prioritize escaping.
I never expected that such a monster would be sent to Saberbite Tiger's side!
