Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

The top floor of the Phantom Lords headquarters.

Erza, Shirou Kotomine, and Mirajane stood side by side, all three of them warily watching Joseph, the Phantom Lord, and Aria, the leader of the Four Elements, opposite them.

None of the five players on the field were weak.

Their magic overflowed from their bodies and collided in the void.

As a result, all sorts of noises rang in the ears of the five people, but they did not affect their concentration in the slightest.

Unlike the three members of Kotomine Shirou, who were on high alert, Joseph, the big boss, was casually leaning on his chairman's throne.

He crossed his legs and supported his head with the back of his hand, exuding a relaxed and carefree atmosphere.

Even when facing Shirou Kotomine and his two companions, he remained just as casual.

Because he is very strong.

He was full of confidence in his abilities.

With Fairy Tail's guild master Makarov now incapacitated, he looks down on any member of Fairy Tail.

After all, in his eyes, S-class mages are nothing more than the Four Elements and Iron Dragon Gajeel.

There's nothing to worry about.

Joseph thought with disdain.

As the guild leader, he knew all too well the strength of the Four Elements and the Iron Dragon.

Although these children are all very talented.

But do you want to fight him?

That's just wishful thinking.

So for Joseph, it was just a time to enjoy himself.

Seeing Joseph's posture, the three of them immediately understood Joseph's thoughts, a scene that surprised and delighted Shirou Kotomine.

Nothing is more surprising than the enemy's underestimation of you.

Especially when they have a winning percentage, but it's very low.

After quickly assessing the situation, Shirou Kotomine immediately stepped forward from the group of three standing side by side and questioned Joseph.

"Lord Joseph, the Guild Master of Phantom Lords, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Fairy Council for launching such a large-scale attack on our Fairy Tail?"

"Oh, so you're using the council to pressure me? Looks like you've really run out of tricks!"

Joseph laughed.

In Joseph's view, Shirou Kotomine's statement was undoubtedly unconvincing.

After all, if one were truly capable, why would they say something like, "I couldn't beat two students in a fight, so I cried and went to find the teacher"?

This made him even more contemptuous of the three people in front of him.

Although Shirou Kotomine's previous attack pierced through the headquarters of the Phantom Lord, Joseph was not worried at all.

In his view, given Fairy Tail's resources, it was only right to launch some similar counterattacks.

Otherwise, how could the other party be qualified to be mentioned alongside them?

Don't even mention that Shirou Kotomine's previous attack might have had a limited number of hits.

Even though he could unleash such attacks at will, Joseph was not worried at all.

He could do that easily.

"The council is nothing to fear!"

Joseph said arrogantly.

Judging from his expression, Shirou Kotomine was able to make a clear judgment.

This is indeed his true thought.

This scene surprised Shirou Kotomine somewhat.

Joseph actually thought so.

Does he really look down on the council?

However, considering his actions, Shirou Kotomine felt that this must be true.

After all, if he had even the slightest fear of the Council, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to transform his own guild building into a magical machine and come directly to the opposite side of Fairy Tail to confront them.

That's outrageous.

Shirou Kotomine was somewhat aware of the Council's strength.

In short, almost all the top-tier beings among the Ten Wizard Saints are there.

Based on the information he remembered, Shirou Kotomine knew that even though Makarov was old and frail and had just woken up from serious injuries, he still had the ability to kill Joseph instantly.

However, such strength only ranks in the upper-middle range among the Ten Wizard Saints.

This demonstrates just how powerful the Council of Councilors truly is.

Of course, Shirou Kotomine was also happy to see Joseph's arrogance and disdain.

After all, once a person becomes arrogant and underestimates the other party, they will create openings.

Joseph's mistake at this point was that he overlooked the possibility that Makarov could recover.

Or rather, he was confident that he could defeat the newly recovered Makarov.

Regardless of the circumstances, all of this is advantageous to Kotomine Shirou and his group.

What Shirou Kotomine needs to do now is stall for time; the longer it goes on, the more advantageous it will be for them.

Of course, just in case, Shirou Kotomine also made double preparations.

For example, when he went up to talk to Joseph, he secretly put one hand behind his back and signaled to Erza and Mirajane on either side.

And that's why he took that step forward.

"They're actually ignoring the council? How incredibly audacious!"

"Then what's the reason? There must be a reason why you launched an attack on us at this time, right?"

Can you tell us about this?

Kotomine Shirou continued to inquire.

"A reason, please!"

Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's question, Joseph's lips curled up slightly.

He was really looking forward to hearing the reason.

After all, he really wanted to know what kind of expressions the three people in front of him would have if they knew that everything was caused by their own partner.

Joseph was very curious.

"Of course I can tell you the reason! It all started with your partner, Lucy."

"You probably don't know this yet, but your partner Lucy's full name is Lucy Heartfilia!"

"Heartfilia is a famous conglomerate. It was the owner of this conglomerate, who is also Lucy's father, who commissioned us to bring Lucy back from Fairy Tail."

Having said that, Joseph turned his gaze to the three people in front of him.

He was eager to see what kind of expressions they would make when they found out.

But what he saw and heard next caused his blood pressure to spike.

"I never knew Lucy had such a past. I guess I'll have to take better care of her from now on!"

"That's right, she must have suffered a lot on her path to becoming a mage!"

Erza and Mirajane couldn't help but sigh.

This was not the scene Joseph wanted to see.

What he wanted to hear were their voices and expressions of condemnation of Lucy's existence, of their disdain for Lucy as a calamity.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me? Lucy is the reason your guild was destroyed!"

"Shouldn't you have reprimanded her severely and expelled her from the guild?!"

Joseph roared.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Erza immediately interrupted Joseph's roar.

She said earnestly, "Lucy is our partner, and that will never change!"

"And you yourself said that Lucy's father did all these things, so what does it have to do with Lucy?"

"Oh no, it is related. This will only make Lucy suffer more. Obviously, this is not a good father who understands Lucy. I can fully imagine the pain Lucy has suffered."

"You're saying she's the daughter of a big conglomerate? We've never seen a Lucy like that. The only Lucy we know is from Fairy Tail, our partner!"

The three of them, including Shirou Kotomine, took turns criticizing him.
