Chapter 278 Rest and Substitution (Ch 278)

“Although this is a guild that has annoyed me for a long time, the fuse of the war is just a trivial matter.
We learned that the daughter of the Heartfilia tycoon has joined your guild.
The daughter of the richest man in this country is actually in Fairy Tail, and her parents actually sent a lot of supplies to you.
How big do you want to grow before you are satisfied? ”
Joseph’s voice became agitated, and the attacks from his hands became more frequent, making it more difficult for Urrutia and the others to hide.
“Once you can freely use the funds of the Heartfilia Financial Group, you will definitely become more powerful than us.
This is the only thing I will never allow!”
Joseph’s voice became more excited. He put away his right hand that was shooting out the magic ball and slapped it out again.
A dark shock wave emerged from the magic circle in front of his palm, splitting into five waves and striking towards Urrutia and the others.
Urrutia and the others also launched five long-range attacks to meet Joseph’s dark shockwave.
“boom!”
Urrutia and the others’ attacks collided with Joseph’s in the air, causing a violent explosion and forming a large amount of smoke and dust.
The shock waves formed by the different explosions blew away the surrounding smoke and dust, revealing everyone’s figures.
Urrutia and the others were constantly gasping for breath, and the huge consumption of magic power and physical strength made their condition very bad.
Although Joseph looked fine, his breathing was also rapid, but much better than Urrutia and the others.
“To start a war just to see who’s superior… that’s pathetic in itself…”
Erza panted, looked at Joseph, and shook her head.
“And do you know… why didn’t Lucy join the ruler of the ghosts?”
Mirajane asked Joseph with a smile.
“What?”
Joseph was stunned for a moment.
“Because of your behavior… your bad behavior… Lucy’s parents are completely worried about letting Lucy join your guild…
Now your behavior is not just… confirming Lucy’s parents’ guess…”
Sorono took over Mirajane’s words, panting, and replied to Joseph with a smile.
When Joseph heard her words, his face darkened.
“Plus, Lucy is now going through training, she lives in a house that rents for $70,000, does the same job as us, fights together, laughs together, and cries together.
We are wizards from the same guild. After she joined the guild, she has never spent her parents’ money. All the money was earned by herself.
How her parents spend their money is their business; she herself is very self-reliant.
What about the trigger of the war? That’s just your own jealousy.”
At this point, Urrutia sighed deeply and shook his head.
“And you said that we need to mobilize the funds of the Heartfilia Zaobao to become more powerful than you?
You really don’t know anything…”
Erza and the others nodded in agreement.
The kingdom’s greatest magic power? The kingdom’s greatest talent? The kingdom’s greatest funds?
Many years ago, due to Noah’s intervention, the ruler of the Phantom was no longer there.
magic?
Excluding the president, there are three people in Fairy Tail whose strength reaches or even exceeds that of the Ten Holy Wizards.
Talent?
There are a lot of S-class wizards, and all of them have strength far beyond that of S-class wizards in ordinary guilds.
Even if we don’t count the S-class wizards, Fairy Tail still has a lot of members who are good enough to be S-class wizards in other guilds.
There are also a bunch of members who are still growing and have great potential.
funds?
Thanks to the pharmaceutical company that Noah had cooperated with the Heartfilia conglomerate, funding was no longer a problem for Noah.
Apart from daily study and research needs, Noah has no need to spend money.
Although the data and materials used in research will cost a lot of money, the remaining funds are still a huge amount.
Noah took out some funds to help the guild, which made the funds available to Fairy Tail the largest in the kingdom.
However, most members are unaware of this part of funds, only the president and S-level members know about it.
This is to prevent guild members from having to pay attention to their surroundings when completing tasks.
Everyone present is an S-level member, so they are naturally aware of the guild’s situation.
So after hearing Joseph’s words, they couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll know later.”
Joseph said in a cold voice, while balls of magic continued to form on his fingers and were continuously fired at Urrutia and the others.
Urrutia and the others quickly dodged these attacks.
“Do you think that after I capture her and let her join the Phantom, I will let her continue to live a life like a housewife?
No, I will keep supporting her until I can no longer make any money from her.
In this way, all the Heartfilia family’s property will fall into my hands.”
The smile on Joseph’s face was extremely evil.
“How despicable! You bastard!”
Erza shouted angrily, and at the same time a bolt of lightning shot out from the Thunder Emperor’s Spear in her hand and hit Joseph.
Urrutia and the others followed Erza and launched long-range attacks at Joseph.
Joseph stretched out his hands, and two magic circles unfolded in front of his palms at the same time. Two ghosts two or three meters tall appeared in front of the magic circles and blocked the incoming attacks.
“boom!”
After the explosion, the two ghosts just shook for a moment and then returned to normal.
“It’s time to deal with you.”
Joseph spoke up, and Urrutia and the others raised their guard after hearing it.
Joseph was in a much better state now than before. He just talked a lot, not only about his hatred for Fairy Tail.
What was more important was adjusting his own condition. Just now, he had been hit continuously by Urrutia and the others’ attacks, causing his condition to decline too much.
In order to deal with Makarov later, he spent so much time chatting, just to restore his condition.
Urrutia and the others were weaker than Joseph, and Joseph had been constantly disturbing their rest, so their condition had not recovered much.
“Get rid of us? Do you think you can do that?”
Kana spoke up.
“Of course, your strength is indeed worthy of praise, but there is a huge gap between you and me.
As long as I stay alert, your little tricks won’t work on me.
Well, it’s time for you to die.”
After saying that, a large number of ghosts emerged from the two magic circles in front of Joseph and rushed towards Urrutia and the others.
“Ice shape, Ice Eagle!”
“Dark Spark!”
“Sunlight Angel!”
“Thunder Emperor’s Spear!”
“The sun’s blast!”
The five people launched attacks one after another, hitting those ghosts.
But they only destroyed some of the ghosts, and more ghosts attacked them.
“Noah! How long are you going to see!”
Seeing that Urrutia and the others could no longer stop the ghosts, Sorono shouted loudly.
“What?”
Joseph was shocked. Is there anyone here? How come he didn’t know.
“How did you know I was here?”
As Noah’s voice sounded, the figures of Noah and Natsu emerged in a corner.
At the same time, a soft light emerged from Noah’s body, instantly clearing out all the ghosts in the room, including the two big ones.
“You are Noah?! You actually have such strength?!”
Just based on what he just did, Joseph knew that Noah’s strength was definitely not what he had previously thought.
“I don’t need to inform you of my strength. In fact, you have been guessing all along.”
Noah came over with Natsu and the others.
“Erusa.”
“Urutia.”
“elder sister.”
Natsu and the others greeted Erza and the others.
Mirajane narrowed her eyes:
“Elfman, you just stood there and watched us fight?”
“Noah won’t let us come out to help.”
When Elfman saw his sister like this, he quickly pointed out the culprit next to him.
“They are not strong enough to participate in such a battle. They can just watch from the sidelines.”
Noah came in front of them and raised his right hand, and a soft light shone on Urrutia and the others.
“Let me treat you first.”
Urrutia and the others immediately felt their magic power, physical strength, and injuries recovering rapidly.
“That’s right, your strength is still a little lacking, so I can’t blame you for just standing by and watching.”
Mirajane’s expression relaxed, and Elfman breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from my sister’s expression just now, if I don’t give a good answer, I will suffer when I go back.
“How dare you ignore me, you little bastard!”
Joseph became angry when he saw that Noah had the audacity to ignore him and directly treated Urrutia and the others.
He waved his right hand, and several ghosts rushed towards Noah at an incredible speed.
Noah didn’t even turn his head. He clapped his left hand backwards, and several golden beams of light appeared from his left hand, heading towards the ghost that Joseph was attacking.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The two collided in mid-air and dissipated into the air at the same time.
“Okay, I’ve treated you. You can go and rest for a while.”
Noah said to Urrutia and the others.
“Then let’s go over there first.”
Ultear walked towards the corner, followed by Erza, Natsu and the others.
Noah turned around and looked at Joseph.
“Okay, now it’s your turn.”
“Why are you the only one here? Where’s Makarov? Is he scared?”
Joseph glanced at Urrutia and the others and paid no more attention.
With his own strength, only Makarov is worthy of attention, and the others are not worth worrying about.
As long as Makarov is defeated, he can do whatever he wants with the others.
“Just deal with your words, there’s no need for Grandpa to come over, I’ll be fine.”
Noah spoke to Joseph very calmly.
“Huh? You’re here to die.
Makarov doesn’t love his guildmates that much, does he?”
Joseph scoffed.
“No, that’s not right. Grandpa asked me to come because he loves his fellow guild members.”
Noah said to Joseph with a smile.
“What’s the meaning?”
Joseph looked puzzled.
Since Noah was willing to chat, he naturally wouldn’t interrupt, which would also allow himself more time to recover.
Because he felt something was wrong and wanted to get back to a better condition.
