Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

The crystal ball in the center of the conference table suddenly lit up with a soft light, followed by a slight humming sound.

Two figures appeared above the sphere, and Mirajane and Lisana's projections were clearly visible.

Makarov's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot all his previous displeasure.

The short figure hopped to the crystal ball, pointed at the projection, and proudly showed off to the surrounding guild leaders.

"Look, look! These are the twin sisters who are the face of our guild! Aren't they beautiful! Aren't they!"

His mustache twitched as he spoke, his face practically screaming "Come praise me!" His smug look was just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Not to be outdone, Riyao stood with his hands on his hips, chin held high, nostrils pointing to the sky, his tone brimming with undisguised smugness.

"One is my wife! The other is my sister-in-law!"

After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced around at the presidents around him, his expression clearly saying: Envious? Jealous? There's nothing you can do, that's fate.

The guild leaders around them twitched at the corners of their mouths as they watched the two of them smugly singing in unison.

Some people rolled their eyes, some pretended to look at the ceiling, and some silently raised their wine glasses to cover their faces. Did these two have to show off like that?

Mirajane maintained his proper posture, but the expression on his face betrayed an undeniable joy.

"Sunrise, and the president."

Her voice carried a hint of excitement.

"The Dark Guild Iron Forest has acquired LalaBai and is preparing to assassinate the guild leaders present at their regular meeting!"

These words were like a bomb, instantly shattering the relaxed atmosphere in the hall.

Lisana peeked out from behind her sister, her short hair swaying gently with her movements. She picked up the conversation, her tone filled with barely concealed excitement.

"But don't worry! Erza has already formed a team with Gray, Natsu, Happy, and Lucy and set off to intercept them!"

When she mentioned those names, her voice rose eight octaves, her eyes sparkled, her mouth stretched almost to her ears, and her little fists clenched in front of her chest.

The surrounding guild leaders reacted in various ways.

Some looked worried, their brows furrowed, exchanging quiet glances with those around them.

Some, however, didn't care at all, waving their hands and continuing to drink, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Our chairman, Makarov, seemed to have his soul ripped out the moment he heard those names.

His face turned from rosy to deathly pale at a visible speed, then from deathly pale to ashen, and his short body swayed as if he might collapse at any moment.

His once proudly upturned beard now drooped, and his whole appearance lost its vibrancy, making him look like a faded old photograph.

Bob rested his chin on his hand, his delicate fingers lightly touching his cheek, and teased with a smile.

"Oh my, aren't these some of the most troublesome guys in your guild? Erza, Naz, Gagret...aren't they the legendary demolition squad?"

Makarov covered his face with his hands and let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"Why did these brats team up?! My retirement savings?!"

His voice echoed in the hall, carrying an old man's deep concern for his later years.

Riyao, who was sitting to the side, laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. He slid off his chair, squatted on the ground, and laughed hysterically, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Hahaha...cough cough, from the guild to here, I remember we have to pass through Osibana Station, I guess a battle will break out there. Hahaha..."

Bob and the other presidents covered their mouths and chuckled, their shoulders shaking.

Makarov clutched his chest, sobbing uncontrollably, wishing he could sprout wings and fly over to stop them.

The image of the station being bombed into ruins flashed before his eyes, along with the huge compensation bill sent by the council...

The thoughtful Riyao got up from the ground, took the medicine bottle out of Makarov's pocket, poured out two vitamin C tablets and put them into the old man's mouth, and patted his back to help him catch his breath.

"Grandpa, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush."

As Riyao filmed, he spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Mira sent the message a while ago. Even if you fly over there, you'll probably only see the station ruins."

Upon hearing these hurtful words, Makarov nearly fainted, his eyes rolled back, and he leaned back.

_(´ཀ`」 ∠)__

Riyao, who was far away at the meeting, suddenly twitched slightly between his brows.

He sensed the spell left on Natsu becoming active, precisely intercepting the overflowing dragon power, almost imperceptible, like scooping a spoonful of water from the ocean.

"Natsu's stats are monstrous... still way too overpowered."

Riyao sighed inwardly.

If it weren't for Ignir's dragon power suppressing him, that kid would have already transformed into a dragon. Zeref's masterpiece is truly no exaggeration.

Riyao's lips curled slightly as he downed the Brave Paradise in one gulp. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, bringing a burning pleasure.

...

Makarov, who was sighing, suddenly raised his head and looked out of the meeting room with his cloudy old eyes.

The powerful guild leaders present also noticed that a malevolent aura was approaching, cold and viscous, like something rotten spreading in the air.

"This aura..."

Makarov's beard trembled slightly, and his voice deepened.

"It's not magic, so it must be Naralabai."

The powerful guild leaders stood up and walked outside, their movements swift and decisive.

Meanwhile, some of the useless old Deng remained in the meeting room, some still drinking, others looking around blankly, completely unaware of the situation.

Next, it was Makarov's turn to showcase his linguistic artistry.

He launched into a long, rambling conversation with Kageyama, ending with a dashing image of his back.

If Huang Mao from the next village saw this, he would definitely call out to his fellow countrymen.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Erza arrived at the scene with Gray, Lucy, Natsu, and Happy. The group looked travel-worn, clearly having run all the way there.

When Erza saw Makarov, she rushed over without saying a word and hugged Makarov's head to her chest.

"President!"

What you just said brought tears to my eyes...

Makarov's head was slammed against Erza's armor with a thud.

The old man's face was squeezed out of shape, his beard was askew, and he made muffled whimpers: "So hard!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Riyao leaned over, patted Makarov on the head, and said with a grin, "Well done, old man!"

Makarov wanted to curse, but his head was still being held down, so he could only make "uh-uh-uh" sounds.

Just when everyone thought everything was going well.

The defeated Lalabai on the ground suddenly let out a shrill laugh, sharp and distorted, like metal scraping against glass.

"That's ridiculous...that's ridiculous..."

A massive, dark purple magic circle appeared out of thin air, its intricate runes shimmering with an eerie light in the darkness.

In the center of the magic circle, a huge figure slowly emerged. It was Lalabai's true form, a massive demon with three blood-red eyes and a gaping mouth revealing jagged... what could be called fangs.

"They're all just pretty faces with no real skills..."

The demon's voice was like thunder, shaking the ground.

"I might as well eat you all myself..."

Having escaped, Lalabai looked down at everyone present with disdain, his three eyes filled with contempt and greed.

The soldiers of the kingdom's army were stunned when they saw such a huge demon, and then they began to encourage each other.

"Don't be afraid of that giant monster! All of you, charge!"

Lalabai noticed the group of Muggles, his three eyes narrowed simultaneously, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

It opened its enormous mouth, and a dark purple laser shot out from deep within its throat.

Boom!!!

The entire mountain was instantly destroyed; rocks shattered, trees turned to ash, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

"Get out of my way, you nobody!"

The accuracy... was a bit off. The hilltop was gone, and the entire kingdom's troops were unharmed, but they were so terrified that they ran back in a panic.

"Retreat...retreat immediately!!!"

Looking at this group of idiots, Riyao couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. It seemed that in anime, these kingdom troops almost never played any role.

The council's troops are the same; they're good at dealing with good people, but they're always too late when it comes to dealing with bad people.

The guild leaders had somehow retreated to a safe distance and were shouting in this direction.

"Go for it, kids!"

Lucy clasped her hands together and said shyly.

"Oh dear, it seems there aren't any usable Protoss spirits today..."

Harpy flapped its wings and flew over, looking at Harpy with a look of disapproval.

"They're all just excuses."

Lucy's face instantly turned red as she roared.

"Shut up, you stinky cat!"

Riyao watched this scene with a slight smile. He raised his hands, and multiple magic circles appeared around his body, with runes flowing in the air.

"You've been enhanced, hurry up and deliver yourself."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

【Life Connection - Hundred Battles】

[Enhanced Magic: Fire Enhancement, Frost Enhancement, Sharpness Enhancement...]

Beams of light shot out from the magic circle, enveloping Natsu, Gray, and Erza respectively.

The three of them instantly surged with power, their muscles pulsating with immense strength.

Erza didn't waste any words; light enveloped her, and a crimson magic circle appeared beneath her feet.

"Change outfit! Heavenly Wheel Armor!"

As the light faded, she held a longsword in each hand, the blades reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped into the air, rushing towards Lalabai.

Gray followed closely behind, clasping his hands together, condensing icy blue magic in his palms, and opening an icy blue magic circle.

"Ice Design Assault Rifle!"

A dozen or so ice spears materialized out of thin air and stabbed toward Lalabai.

Natsu was probably low on magic power, and he launched himself out like a cannonball, leaping into the air and delivering a simple "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" to Ralaba. A simple punch slammed hard into Ralaba's face.

And at this very moment.

Riyao pulled out two glow sticks from somewhere and waved them around to cheer them on, shouting as he did so.

"Fairy Tail's strongest team! Go for it!"

He also made sure to slip two light sticks into the hands of Lucy, Happy, and Makarov.

Happy immediately joined in, waving his arms and hopping around on his short legs, shouting "Aye sir!"

Makarov's short body swayed from side to side to the rhythm, his beard twitching.

Lucy covered her face with her hands, peeking out one eye through her fingers, utterly ashamed.

"Why...why do we have to do this...?"

Her voice was muffled in her palm, filled with deep despair.

Ignoring the warnings, Sunrise continued waving its light stick, even changing the pattern to a cross-waving motion.

"Keep it up! You guys are the best!"

Seeing this, Lucy just wanted to disappear into the ground.
