Animefan13579: Finn indeed learned those spells in books, Lemon did say he eas learning various spells through them, although good on you for noticing the thing about learning magic, that will become a plot point later.
OniTenshi500: the best spell!
Freakingname13: yep, keeping Mash magicless is always good! I don't think Dot would turn himself into the girls to feel himself but I can see him trying to sneak into the woman's bath, and Lance is still a siscon
Guest: Rayne is pissed! People finding Lance weird just because he likes to take care of littte girls with blue hair
Gentwo: Finn could be the master of "why are you hitting yourself?". Abel didn't get much time to shine in the previous arcs so I wanted to make him show off a little. The best plushies around!
Yogaratw607: those sounds fun! Also, congrats on being the 100th comment!
Hater: this is Magia Lupus arc Lance personality wise, so he sees Natsu how he sees Dot, that annoying guy he can't seem go get rid of. Although this one is less of a perv
Guest: I apologize for my fic not being up to your standards, I shall try my best and get better with time. Not everyone makes something amazing in their first fic, but thank you for the feedback
VV: I don't think I should. If people don't like something in the fic I want to see what it is so I can to be better at writing. As long as they don't act like complete jerks though
At Phantom Lord, the battle continued without stopping with Fairy Tail managing to have an upper hand against the mages of that guild. Elfman was beating up a lot of mages on his own and with only one arm, with it being now in the form of a lizard monster's arm
"Being manly…" Elfman began while continuing to punch the mages to the ground one by one "Is what a man is all about!"
Elfman uppercut the mages knocking them out with ease, another mage tried to attack him from the back but the Strauss parried the attack with his monster arm and counterattacked with a powerful left hook
"What you said was redundant." Lance said annoyed
"And that's manly!" Elfman continued with his talk about manly things, causing Lance to groan
"What is up with that guy's arm!?" a random mage from Phantom asked in shock
"It's Take-Over magic! That guy took over a monster's soul into his arm! That's what makes him Monster Arm Elfman!" another mage answered before being knocked out by Erza
"Erza! I'm putting you in charge!" Makarov said, jumping away from the battle "Jose must be at the top floor. I'm going there to tear him a new one!"
"Sure thing, master. Take care."
Makarov ran off up the stairs to go and find Jose, Erza thought the guild master could handle the situation with that guy on his own so she was going to focus on the other members, but she still was worried that she didn't find Gajeel or the Element 4. Erza's thoughts were interrupted when something dropped from the ceiling and created a big smokescreen, and from there Mash jumped back with a backflip, landing on his feet with ease
"Mash!?" Dot yelled out surprised
But he wasn't the only one who dropped down, from the smokescreen an iron pillar extended out trying to hit Mash, but the boy dodged the attack with a sidestep. Out of the smokescreen now came out Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer
"Aren't you going to hit me, scum?" Gajeel asked Mash but got no response from him
"A man must still be manly! Even if he is scum!" Elfman yelled out before attempting to punch Gajeel by using his monster arm
The Iron Dragon Slayer, however, dodged the attack easily and attempted to counter with an attack of his own, he extended his arm forward and it transformed into an iron pillar that almost hit Elfman in the head, but the Take-Over mage managed to dodge the attack on the last moment, however, the pillar stopped moving and created a sphere on its end, and from the said sphere, various other iron pillars came out hitting Elfman and throwing him back thanks to this taking him by surprise, the pillars also ended up hitting other mages such as Bisca, Alzack, and various members of Phantom Lord
"Gajeel!" Natsu jumped on Elfman's head and tried to attack Gajeel who smirked and rolled out of the way of a flaming punch from Natsu "I'm the Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail! You're fighting-"
"Him!" Gajeel moved away from Natsu and towards Mash, who was just watching the fight since he thought it would be rather rude to interrupt
"What the-Hey! Don't ignore me!" Natsu yelled before being drowned by a group of people who tried to dogpile him, only for them to be blown away by a single flaming punch from Natsu
"I'm not done yet with you, brat! Don't go thinking you're hot stuff just cuz you can dodge!" Gajeel said with a wide grin, Mash just watched as he approached him
Gajeel was ready to throw one more attack at Mash, he was a little far away but he could still hit him for sure! Gajeel then blinked and now Mash was centimeters away from him, the Iron Dragon Slayer was surprised by the sudden approach of the boy and tried to attack, but was stopped by a punch to the chest that blasted him out of the guild through a wall
"I'll deal with him." Mash said disappearing from the guild and repairing outside where Gajeel was, all of that thanks to his insane speed
"That… Is even faster than when he faced me… Was he holding back that much!?" Erza was shocked, it seemed like Mash was a lot stronger than she originally thought, and she already thought he was incredibly strong… "He is almost at the level of the S Class of the guild."
—
Gajeel slowly got up, his legs wobbling as he breathed heavily. What the fuck was that!? That wasn't a normal punch! That was like a cannon hitting him point-blank in the chest! What the fuck was this brat!?
"You done resting?" Mash's voice was heard which caused Gajeel's eyes to widen when he saw that the boy was once again in front of him
"Alright, I'll give you that one, you managed to catch me by surprise. But don't think you'll have another chance, scum. Don't go thinking that just one punch is enough to make you equal to the Dragon Slayer of Phantom Lord!" The Iron Dragon Slayer said while laughing madly at Mash with a "Gihihihi!" sound
"Sure, lower scum." Mash said getting ready to fight
"Lower scum!? The hell is that supposed to mean!?" Gajeel yelled out confused at what Mash just said
"Hm? Well, since I'm scum you should be lower scum."
"And why is that!?"
"Because I'm stronger than you."
The way Mash said that made the long-haired man freeze in place for a moment. He… He just stated that like it was a fact… Who does this brat think he is!?
"How about we test that theory!? Iron Dragons Club!" Gajeel yelled and extended his arm forward, an iron club was created in his arm and went directly toward Mash who punched the pillar causing it to stop in its tracks
"Oh? Harder than Silva's Iron." Mash thought
Gajeel pulled his arm back and jumped toward Mash, turning his leg into an Iron club to try and attack Mash from above
"Iron Dragons Club!"
Mash saw that and sidestepped away from the attack making it hit the ground, Gajeel's leg almost immediately turned back to normal and he charged at Mash, moving his hand to the side and turning it into a massive Jagged Spiked Iron Blade
"Iron Dragons Sword!"
He tried to slash Mash who just kept on dodging, this was starting to annoy the dragon slayer, this brat just kept dodging and didn't even throw a punch yet! Did he think he was too good or something!?
"Iron Dragons Kunai!"
Gajeel then used his other hand to throw a Kunai at Mash who dodged by sidestepping once again, but he did just as the dragon skater wanted, Gajeel then made the spikes on the blade spin in a very fast manner, similar to a chainsaw, and then slashed Mash mid-dodge cutting the boy in half!
"Got ya!"
Or at least he thought…
"Secret Art: Body Substitution Jutsu." Mash had appeared right behind Gajeel in an instant shocking the dragon slayer
What had happened was that mere seconds before the attack hit, Mash took off his clothes at incredibly high speeds, making it not even aware that it was taken off causing it to maintain its human form, and jumped away from the attack, going right above Gajeel, and landing right behind him with a great gymnastic landing, and so only his clothes got slashed and he was now in his battle mode
"What the fuck!?" was the only thing Gajeel managed to say before getting punched in the jaw
The Iron Dragon Slayer was blasted away once more thanks to the strength of the punch, his body skidding through the ground and breaking through the wall of a house and into the living room where an old lady was sitting on a chair knitting. Mash noticed what he had done and immediately tried to fix it, he walked there grabbed Gajeel off the floor, and threw him outside
"Sorry ma'am." Mash apologized
"Oh, no problems, dearie." the old lady accepted his apology
Mash then stepped outside and put the ruble back in its place and quickly picked up some wood, a hammer, and some nails from the guild, nailing down the ruble to the rest of the wall with the wood there to give it support, and so it was as good as new… practically.
"Done."
"Ugh…" Gajeel slowly got up from the ground causing Mash to look at him
That punch had dislocated the dragon slayer's jaw, but Gajeel just snapped back into place and glared at Mash. Alright, this brat was getting on his nerves
"Guess I underestimated you. But don't think you won yet! Scum like you don't have a good ending when they face me!" Gajeel said, hitting his fists together "Iron Dragon Scales!"
Gajeel's body then began to get completely covered in Iron Scales, his pupils turning white for a moment, and his mana increasing, Mash could feel the power emanating from the dragon slayer and it was a little bigger than before
"Alright." was Mash's only response
"Let's see how you deal with me now, brat!" Gajeel yelled and charged at Mash, turning both of his arms into iron pillars to try and hit Mash with "Iron Dragon Lance!"
Mash dodged the attacks rather easily, noticing how they decreased in speed, but suddenly Gajeel sprung forward toward Mash in an incredibly quick motion, using his Iron Dragon Lance on his legs to propel him forward in a faster way
"Iron Dragon Hard Fist!"
Gajeel then punched Mash with his fist covered in the iron scales, Mash managed to react fast enough to block the attack however he felt the strength of the blow and was thrown back, skidding through the ground for a few centimeters before stopping
"So he's slower but hit harder. Got it." Mash thought looking at Gajeel
"Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!" Gajeel yelled turning both of his hands into giant spearheads and blasting them toward Mash who dodged the attacks by rolling to the side
—
Inside of the Phantom Lord guild, Lance sneezed
"You okay, Lance?" Dot asked
"I'm fine. I just have the feeling that some bastard is using my name without permission." Lance said confusing Dot
"Weirdo…" Dot said. This shitty pretty boy got weirder by the day
—
Mash continued to dodge the spearheads until he was cornered, he couldn't dodge the attack so he decided to do the second-best thing, he simply punched it. He punched one of the spearheads so hard it broke into hundreds of tiny pieces
"Oh, so that's how much strength I need to break your iron." Mash blinked twice
"What!?" Gajeel was in disbelief. This brat had actually managed to break his iron!?
Mash after seeing that he now knew how much strength to use to break a dragon's iron, he started to charge toward Gajeel at alarming speeds, causing the dragon slayer to flinch
"Iron Dragon Lance!"
Gajeel yelled and turned his arm into an iron pillar and shot it toward Mash, who destroyed it in one punch, causing Gajeel's arm to turn back to normal
"Gh!? Iron Dragon Club!"
Gajeel then tried to turn his leg into a club to keep Mash away, but it was too destroyed in one punch, causing his leg to turn back to normal
"Impossible! This doesn't make any sense!!!" Gajeel yelled and saw how close Mash had gotten, but he wasn't going to give up yet "Iron Dragon Sword!"
Gajeel tried to slash Mash by turning his arm into a jagged iron blade, the spikes beginning to spin like a chainsaw, but it was useless…
"Triceps Magic: Ballista Knuckle."
Mash punched right through the blade, shattering it completely and turning Gajeel's arm back to normal, and then immediately hitting Gajeel in the face with the punch, his iron scales cracking thanks to the strength used. Gajeel was blasted back by the attack but he spun in the air and landed on all fours, taking a moment to take some air in so he could process what the hell just happened
"How…?" Gajeel couldn't understand what the hell was happening. This brat with a line on his face was like a complete anomaly! He just appeared out of nowhere by his side and began to fight him, and now here he is punching through all of his attacks like they were nothing
"Get up, trash. I'm not done with you." Mash ordered causing Gajeel to look up at him
"No… There's no way I'm losing to a brat like this! I'm Gajeel Redfox, dammit! The Iron Dragon Slayer of Phantom Lord! I can't lose! I won't lose!" Gajeel thought while looking at Mash, grinding his teeth as his aura flared up
"Why doesn't he have eyebrows? And why does he have so many piercings? Silva had some too. Do all jerks wear piercings? Or is this just an iron magic user thing?" Mash thought completely unrelated things
"Don't underestimate me! Iron Dragon Hard Fist!" Gajeel yelled and shot himself up, moving his fist up to punch Mash in the face with a right hook
But Mash saw that coming and headbutted his hand, the impact being so hard it caused a small shockwave to crack some windows around the place, the iron scales on Gajeel cracked thanks to the headbutt which made the dragon slayer grunt, but suddenly he grinned and pulled air into his lungs
"IRON DRAGON'S ROAR!"
Gajeel yelled out and blasted a massive tornado with pieces of iron in it at Mash at point blank, which hit the boy head-on making him stumble back a little and giving him some small cuts through his body, a massive smokescreen rose up thanks to the attack. Gajeel was panting, this fight wasn't very long but it was exhausting, just recovering from the hits was already taking a toll on him
"Take that… Scum!" Gajeel yelled, having enough energy to grin
But suddenly something stepped on Gajeel's foot causing a massive shockwave that made the entire smokescreen disappear, and the one revealed to step on the dragon slayer's foot was none other than Mash, who cracked the scales on his foot and caused the Iron Dragon Slayer to grunt
"Full Muscle Magic:..." Mash winded up a punch while looking at Gajeel who was sweating while looking at him "Hurricane Rush."
Mash then punched Gajeel right in the gut cracking his scales even more, Gajeel's pupils disappeared for a moment as he almost threw up all of the iron he had eaten in ten years, he was blasted back with immense force while a shockwave that looked more like a sonic boom happened where Mash punched him
"Gah!"
Gajeel grunted in pain and then in an instant Mash appeared right behind him, kicking him in the back and blasting him up, the scales on his back cracking as he flew high into the skies
"Gragh!"
Mash once again appeared behind Gajeel, even in the air, and then kicked him forward by the back of his head, cracking more of his scales and blasting him forward. Gajeel went right through his guild, surprising everyone inside that place
"What the hell!?" Gray yelled confused
Mash wasn't giving time for Gajeel to even hit the ground, he appeared in front of him and hit his chest with a lariat that blasted him back through the guild, creating a bee hole in the walls
"He came back!!!" Dot screamed
Gajeel kept being blasted through the guild, each time moving faster and faster, sometimes even hitting some mages from Phantom Lord and knocking them out, but the most important part, it was destroying their guild
"Holy shit!" Natsu yelled impressed
"W-wow…" Abyss was having flashbacks to when that attack was used on him, Gajeel was surely not having a good time right now
Gajeel was now at the top of the guild, his scales completely cracked, but Mash wasn't done, he appeared behind the dragon slayer and grabbed him by the waist with both of his arms, and then power bombed him into the ground with immense force, the entire guild hall of Phantom Lord shook as Gajeel hit the ground, the ceiling beginning to fall down as Gajeel was unconscious, all of his scales destroyed, in a crater in the middle of his guild, and with a victorious Mash looking down on him
"I win. Scum." Mash said getting out of the crater
"Oh my God…" Erza couldn't even get the words to describe what she saw… It was insane
"I didn't know Mash could do something like that…" Lance said frozen in place
"W-what!? Gajeel lost!?" a mage from Phantom Lord said in complete shock
"That was awesome, Mash! You really kicked that guy's ass! Fairy Tail style!" Natsu cheered for Mash thanks to how cool he thought he was
"Thanks." Mash said giving the dragon slayer a thumbs-up
But the happiness came to an end when something fell down of the upper floor, everyone looked to see what it was and when they did they saw
"M-master…?" Erza said shocked
"U-ugh… My magic…" Makarov struggled to say while crawling on the ground
"Gramps!" Natsu yelled
"Mister Makarov!" Abyss yelled in shock
"Curses… They took out the master." Abel said looking at the fallen Makarov
"Master! Hang in there!" Erza said crouching and holding up the guild master until she noticed something weird "What is happening!? I don't sense any magic power coming from the Master!"
"Wait, he now has no magic?" Mash causing Dot and Lance to widen their eyes in complete shock
"How!?" Gray yelled
Mash looked at Makarov and frowned, the guild master was having problems breathing, he didn't like to see him like that. Lance was staring at that situation with complete anger on his face, the situation of the guild master and how sickly he looked, it reminded him too much of the magic illness that his sister had
"What the hell happened up there…?" Dot looked up with complete shock splattered across his face
"How could the Master have been defeated…" Wakaba said shocked
"Now! Crush them!" the members of Phantom yelled, charging the Fairy Tail members and beginning to overwhelm them
"No… Without the master does our battle strength decrease… but also our morale… if this keeps up…" Erza thought before making a quick decision "Everyone! Retreat to the guild!"
That order shocked everyone, they didn't expect such orders from Erza at a time like this
"What!?" Lance said in a mix of confusion and anger
"We can't defeat Master Jose without our master! We are retreating! That's an order!" Erza yelled causing everyone to grunt since they didn't know what to do at the moment
"Hohohoho! Leaving so soon?" Sol free out of the staircase, laughing in a pompous way
"Sorrowful." a taller and more muscular man said while in a praying position, he had a blindfold covering his eyes and a typical priest attire, he was standing on top of the side of the staircase
"Weird as always, Aria." a young man with black and white hair, a black line running through the middle of his face, and in karate garments said, sitting down on the final step of the staircase
"Juvia is here to inform you that the capture of Lucy Heartfilia was a success." Juvia said with her umbrella open and staying on the side of the staircase
"Wonderful!" Aria said beginning to cry
"Don't cry for everything!" the black and white-haired man said
"What!?" Natsu and Dot yelled angrily
"Oh my! Gajeel lost? What a shame, I always knew you were a bit weak!" Sol laughed at the misfortune of his partner, not bothering to acknowledge the anger of the Fairy Tail members
"You bastards!" Natsu yelled and tries to charge at them but Aria immediately created a tornado at his side pushing them the dragon slayer away
"We have to go! Come on!" Erza yelled making all of the members of Fairy Tail run away
"We won't let you escape!" the members of Phantom Lord yelled while following them
Mash ran quickly and grabbed Natsu by his scarf and Gajeel off the ground, carrying him under his arm, and pulling them out of the guildhall
"Hey! Wait, Mash! I have to get one of them to tell me where they took Lucy!" Natsu yelled
"I have someone who could tell us what we need." Mash said and then Natsu looked at the unconscious Gajeel
"Oh yeah! Good plan!" Natsu said while nodding, they could get all the information they wanted from Gajeel, after all he probably knew the most about thing of Phantom Lord
Mash didn't actually plan to take information from him when he grabbed the Iron Dragon Slayer, he honestly just wanted to get back at Phantom for kidnapping Lucy by kidnapping one of their friends. An eye for an eye as they say
—
Jose, the guild master of Phantom Lord, watched as Fairy Tail ran away with Makarov in their arms, how pathetic. And they even took Gajeel with them. Well, he'll deal with that later. Now, the new recruits that his new business partner, Marcus, sent him just arrived
"Hello there. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jose, and I'll be your new boss." Jose said looking at his four new recruits
"The pleasure is all mine, Master Jose." a tall bulky man said politely. He was bald, with two amblyopia eyes, no lips leaving his teeth and gums exposed and two lines going across his face, beginning in his eyes and ending at the side of his jawbone
"Pleasure to meet you, Master! Say, do you think I'm cute?" a young girl with long pink hair styled in long twin tails said while doing a little twirl and posing with both of her hands closed into fists and near her cheeks, she had two straight lines going down her face, one under each eye
"Hmm." a boy a little shorter than the pink-haired girl simply nodded, he had green hair, a vacant expression, and two lines going down his face, beginning in his eyes and ending on his cheeks, he was wearing what could be considered a "normal wizard attire", even had a big pointy hat
"I'm here for whatever you wish, Master." a boy taller than the girl and the green-haired boy said, he had short scruffy black hair, a weird smile on his face, and two lines on his face, both beginning with his eyes and going straight down through his cheeks, on his face he had a pair of black glasses covering his eyes
"Now… Be ready to enact the plan when needed. You four are essential in case the Element 4 fails." Master Jose said with an evil smirk on his face
"You still didn't answer if I'm cute or not." the pink-haired girl said
"Yes. You are very cute." Jose said with a sigh
"Yay!" the girl did a small commemorative jump out of happiness
And now the rest of Magia Lupus is here! Feel like I am kinda of overusing them, three arcs in a row with them appearing, so at least this is the last one with them
And Mash beat the Iron Dragon Slayer. I love Hurricane Rush, I wish it was used more.
I wonder how the God of Demand is doing right now...
God of Demand: what do you mean this world has God Slayer magic!?
He seems to just be watching for now, bet he's bored.
Now tell me... Is Love cute?
