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

Riyao suddenly slapped his forehead, only then remembering the huge trouble of "Fes". He had been so busy with his own affairs that he had almost forgotten about it.

Mirajane and Sunrise took turns supporting Lucy's arms, one on each side.

Lucy hadn't quite caught on yet, and blinked.

"Let's go stop Fez."

Sunrise gestured with his chin toward Natsu and the others who had arrived.

"You guys spar with these guys, hit them all you want, they're pretty tough."

"Do I have to go too?" Lucy's eyes widened.

"Then you can stay here too." Riyao said, trying to let go of her arm.

Lucy turned her head to look at the fierce-looking demon opposite her, and then at Natsu and the others on her side who were always out of their minds and extremely unreliable.

She chose Mirajane and Sunrise, who seemed to offer her more security.

"I think I'll go with you guys, hehe."

Lucy gripped both of their wrists tightly.

"Who knows, once we get there, I might need to use my clever mind to solve some mechanisms, right?"

Mirajane and Sunburst didn't waste any words. They lifted Lucy up and took to the air, flying towards the control room inside the Pluton.

Just as they took off.

Natsu, standing below, instinctively looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh! Strawberry!"

"Whoa! Idiot, don't look!"

Lucy let out a piercing scream.

With her arms held up, she couldn't cover herself at all, so she could only desperately curl her legs up, shrinking into a cooked shrimp in mid-air.

"You two bastards, put me down right now!"

Mirajane and Sunrise exchanged a glance.

"Pfft."

The two of them couldn't help but burst out laughing, which was quite unkind of them.

"Wow, you two definitely did this on purpose!"

Lucy shook her head angrily, trying to glare at the two nasty guys to death.

Mirajane laughed and pulled Lucy into her arms, blocking the view below.

"Oh dear, who knew that Natsu, being so straightforward, would actually blurt it out."

"Is this something I should or shouldn't tell anyone? Waaah, I'm so ashamed!"

Lucy buried her face in Mirajane's chest, overwhelmed with grief and anger.

"Hey! Lucy, where are you rubbing your head against?!"

Upon seeing this, Riyao was immediately indignant and issued a vicious threat.

"Believe it or not, I'll make a hundred copies of all the novels you've written and post them on the guild's bulletin board."

Upon hearing this decisive statement, Lucy was so startled that she jerked her head out of Mirajane's embrace as if she had been electrocuted.

"Stingy," she muttered under her breath.

A loud clang of magical energy clashing came from afar, interrupting the three's farce.

They immediately sped up and rushed forward, following the broken passage into a corridor inside the Hades Beast.

In the dimly lit corridor, large areas of the once vibrant, fleshy walls had peeled away, revealing a withered, rotten, dark brown residue, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

At the end of the corridor, Wendy puffed out her cheeks and opened her mouth to spew out a violent white spiral storm.

【The Roar of the Heavenly Dragon】

With a loud bang, Franmars was blasted away by the storm and crashed into the broken flesh wall.

Wendy turned her head and saw the three members of Sunrise landing, and was overjoyed.

"Brother Riyao!"

The moment she cried out, a thick tentacle silently pierced through the ruins.

With lightning speed, Xia Lulu grabbed the stunned Wendy and pulled her away from the fatal blow.

"Idiot, don't get distracted during the battle!" Xia Lulu scolded sternly.

"I was so happy to see Riyao and the others that I didn't notice... I'm sorry, Xia Lulu."

Wendy stuck out her tongue and apologized sheepishly.

Xia Lulu turned her head and shouted at Riyao, who was still watching the show.

"Stop staring, you scheming guy, come help!"

Riyao raised an eyebrow, slowly walked over, and reached out to give Xia Lulu's head a couple of firm rubs.

"You little kitten, you're really not being polite."

"Meow!" Xia Lulu opened her mouth and bit his finger without any hesitation.

Franmars, who had been blasted into the wall, got up and saw that the other side had suddenly gained three more powerful foreign players. His already protruding eyes darted around rapidly, and he began to have second thoughts.

Oh my, the magical energy fluctuations emanating from these two newcomers are terrifying!

It won't be easy, it's definitely not going to be easy!

We need to retreat immediately!

Lucy pointed at Franmars, who was tiptoeing backward, and exclaimed loudly.

"How is this guy still alive?! Didn't Natsu defeat him already? Wait, stop him! He's trying to escape!"

"Oh?"

Mirajane's lips curled slightly upwards, and his azure eyes narrowed slightly.

"What abilities does he have? How powerful are they?"

She exuded a dangerous aura, clearly regarding Franmars as her prime prey.

When Lucy saw Mirajane's appearance, she immediately revealed a sly smile, as if she were "borrowing power from a tiger."

This time they have a strong backer, so they're quite confident! These two are much more reliable than Natsu, who often loses his mind and only knows how to recklessly charge in.

"His ability is similar to receiving magic!"

Lucy loudly explains science.

"It can devour human souls to gain their abilities! Ordinary creatures or demons will be directly absorbed and assimilated!"

The voice just fell.

Mirajane's eyes visibly brightened several degrees, as if he were looking at a walking, priceless treasure.

She turned her head and glanced at Riyao.

Riyao gave an "OK" sign in perfect unison.

Swish!

A lingering shadow remained in the air.

Sunburst instantly teleported behind Franmars, blocking his retreat and forming a perfect pincer attack with Mirajane.

Seeing that the situation here was completely under the control of Sun and his companion, Wendy and Charlotte did not linger and flew directly out of the building.

"Sunshine Bro! Let's go destroy Fez!"

Just as Riyao was about to say a few words of advice, he saw that the person and the cat had already flown away and disappeared.

"That little girl runs pretty fast."

Looking at Franmars's ugly, big head that looked like it was wearing a mushroom cap, Lucy couldn't help but lean closer to Mirajane and whisper a question.

"Mira, are you really going to take this guy in? He looks a bit too ugly."

Mila is such a beautiful woman, but if she were to be paired with this round, yellowish-brown shape, it would just look extremely bizarre.

"It's fine."

Mirajane smiled confidently.

"My talent for receiving magic is quite high. As long as I have enough magic power, I can completely control the changes in my appearance."

Sunlight nodded and explained Mirajane's Receiving Magic to Lucy.

"Mira's receiving magic is the strongest right now, unlike Lisana and Elfman, who still retain most of the characteristics of the receiving creature. Although Mira was like that at first too, her right hand made her look so ugly back then, hahaha..."

"Sunrise!"

Mirajane interrupted Sunrise's laughter, and he instantly switched to a serious fighting expression, though the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned.

Mirajane glared at Riyao, her eyes seeming to say: I'll deal with you when we get home.
