Fairy Tail: My Magic is the Sun

After Jose, the Master of Phantom Lord, left the guild meeting, he returned directly to Phantom Lord headquarters.

When he returned to the guild with a livid face, everyone saw that their Master's expression was quite bad, and no one dared to speak loudly. Even Aria, the Head of the Elemental Four and Jose's most favored member, was slapped away by Jose.

"Damn it! Damn it!!! Fairy Tail!!! I'll kill you all sooner or later!!!"

Jose roared continuously in his office, his vicious eyes fully exposed. After a period of venting, Jose calmed down. After all, he was a Master, and once he calmed down, he began to think about how to deal with Fairy Tail.

He knew very well that Fairy Tail was not something he could deal with. Leaving aside the elderly Makarov and the unfathomably powerful Escanor, Jose wouldn't even dare to claim he could defeat Erza of Fairy Tail.

Just as Jose was feeling ambitious, a black mist appeared out of thin air inside the office.

Jose suddenly stood up, watching the black mist before him with vigilance.

"Hehehehehe... Do you want to deal with Fairy Tail...?"

"Who are you?!"

"Who I am, you don't need to know. I'll just tell you that I can help you deal with Fairy Tail."

"A clandestine fellow..."

Jose unleashed his magic, Dark Howl, and two skull-shaped black magical powers rushed toward the black mist.

"Naive~"

The black mist didn't move an inch. The black magical power struck the black mist, causing no ripples whatsoever.

Jose frowned deeply. The mysterious person before him was clearly up to no good.

"I can give you powerful strength to deal with Fairy Tail..."

The black mist spoke enticingly.

"Why should I believe you—"

Before Jose could finish speaking, the black mist shot a spherical black crystal into his body.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Jose couldn't bear the pain and screamed.

The mysterious person in the black mist watched Jose writhing on the ground with indifference.

After a while, Jose, covered in cold sweat, crawled up from the ground and looked at the black mist before him in horror.

"Hehehehehe... Can this gift of mine be trusted...?"

Jose's eyes widened. He found that his magical power had become much stronger. He couldn't help but laugh uproariously, and the immense magical power made the entire guild tremble.

"It's the Master!!!"

"The Master is so terrifying!!!"

In a corner, Gajeel, the Iron Dragon, felt the vibrating magical power in the air, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Inside the office.

"Fairy Tail! You're all dead!"

The mysterious person in the black mist suddenly felt a headache. The Jose before him seemed a bit too arrogant.

"Idiot! You don't think you can defeat Fairy Tail with just this much strength, do you?!"

When Jose heard the mysterious person in the black mist call him an idiot, he wanted to get angry but didn't dare. He knew that this mysterious person, since he could make him so much stronger, must be much more powerful than him. He decided to show weakness first, and after obtaining even greater power from the mysterious person, he would dispose of him.

At this moment, Jose no longer cared about losing face and directly knelt on one knee.

"My Lord, I obey your orders..."

Seeing this, the mysterious person nodded in satisfaction.

"With your current strength, going rashly will undoubtedly lead to defeat. You need even greater power..."

"Please bestow it upon me, My Lord!"

"Very well. Since you are so sincere, I will satisfy you and grant you great power. Do not resist, release all resistance, and receive this power wholeheartedly."

When Jose saw that the mysterious person agreed to give him great power, he accepted it wholeheartedly without thinking, letting down his guard.

The mysterious person revealed a triumphant smile in the black mist. "Hehe~ Another greedy idiot, perfect to be my new test subject."

The mysterious person took out something wrapped in black mist from the black mist. When the black mist dissipated, what was revealed... was a pulsating heart, its rhythmic beats sounding particularly eerie in the office.

The heart extended countless tentacles toward Jose's chest. Jose only felt a needle-like sensation in his chest.

The tentacles penetrated his skin and quietly wrapped around Jose's heart, while the heart in the mysterious person's hand also floated toward Jose's chest. Ignoring the skin's barrier, the two hearts slowly merged together.

Black blood flowed from the heart, covering Jose's entire body. Jose was enveloped by a powerful force, and as the black cocoon pulsated, it emitted an eerie red glow.

A sharp claw, covered in barbs and unlike a human hand, extended from the black cocoon. With a forceful pull, the black cocoon was torn open. The mysterious person in the black mist looked at the test subject before him and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Jose, who had completely lost his humanity, was covered in demonic scales from head to toe. His limbs had grown sharp barbs, irregular long horns sprouted from his head, and his eyes had transformed into beastly pupils, revealing intense killing intent. His mouth full of fangs dripped saliva, and when the saliva hit the ground, it made sizzling sounds, corroding holes in the floor.

Jose slowly came to his senses, carefully feeling the changes in his body. With his claw-like hand, he lightly swiped at the bookshelf nearby, and the bookshelf immediately shattered into pieces. There was an earth-shattering change within his body compared to just a moment ago. Jose leaned his head back, looking at the ceiling, and gathered a mouthful of magical power. It was just a pure magical power shockwave, and it directly blew the guild's roof to pieces.

"Hahaha, so strong!" Jose didn't care about his own grotesque transformation at all. To him, as long as he possessed great power, it didn't matter what he became.

"I didn't expect that combining my magical power with the heart of an ancient demon could strengthen someone to such an extent. I just don't know how much power this person can withstand. Hehehehe... If he explodes, don't blame me..."

The mysterious person in the black mist thought to himself.

"I have given you the power. Remember! I want Fairy Tail erased from this world, especially Escanor. I want him to die a miserable death!"

With that, the black mist vanished from the office.

Jose's magical power flickered, and he returned to his human form.

Several guild members knocked on the door.

"Master! Did something happen?"

Jose smiled wickedly and opened the door. Several members walked in from outside, and seeing the vanished guild roof and the remains of the bookshelf, everyone was astonished.

"Gajeel~ I want you to go to Fairy Tail and cause destruction. I want to start a guild war! Hahahaha~"

Gajeel lowered his head, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes, and bowed.

"Yes..."

The rest of the guild members all felt that their Master seemed to have undergone some change, with an indescribable sense of dread.

Following orders, Gajeel, in the dead of night, caused destruction to Fairy Tail, with several massive iron pillars piercing through the guild.

The next morning, when everyone arrived at the guild, they were filled with immense anger at the sight of the destruction. Even Mira was on the verge of transforming and going berserk.

However, Makarov, as the Master, although frowning deeply at the scene, didn't say much. He only asked everyone to move to the guild's basement for the time being. Everyone was confused by the Master's decision, but the Master's decision could not be refuted.

Mira, seeing that the Master had no explanation, could only shake her head helplessly. She knew that the Master must have his reasons for doing so. Escanor was not in the guild now, and Erza had gone to apprehend Natsu because he had taken an S-Class mission without permission. Now there were no strong Magus in the guild. Thinking of the scene where Erza had to go apprehend Natsu that day, Mira became angry.

It turned out that after Escanor left, Erza didn't go out on missions much, only waiting in the guild for Escanor's return.

"Mira, why can't we go up to the second floor?"

Lucy saw that the guild had a second floor but hardly anyone went up, and the staircase also had a no entry sign, so she asked curiously.

"The second floor, that's where S-Class and above missions are posted. The missions up there are all terrifying missions where one wrong move could lead to death!"

Lucy shivered at the word "death."

"Then... then... then who can go up?"

"Magus who have passed the S-Class Exam and received the Master's approval can go up and take missions~"

"Oh oh oh oh~ So who in our guild are S-Class Magus?"

"Hmm... Let me think. There's: Escanor, Gildarts, Erza, Laxus, Mystogan, and me."

Mira counted on her fingers.

"Eh!!! Mira! You're S-Class..."

Before Lucy could finish speaking, she felt an extremely strong wave of sleepiness and fell unconscious. The rest of the guild members also gradually fell asleep.

A person completely wrapped in a cloak slowly walked into the guild.

"Mystogan, you're using sleep magic again!"

Makarov sat at the bar, looking at the cloaked man before him.

Mystogan didn't say much and walked straight to Mira.

"Miss Mira, please register this mission for me."

"Alright~"

After registering the mission, Mystogan turned and left the guild. Erza, standing nearby, looked at him with a strange expression.

After he left, everyone woke up one after another.

"Is it Mystogan again? Still the same powerful sleep magic!"

Lucy woke up and asked Mira in surprise.

"What was that just now?"

Mira told her that the person was Mystogan, and he always used sleep magic whenever he came to hand in missions, which is why his appearance was so mysterious.

At this moment, Laxus on the second floor said arrogantly.

"That's not right. Some people have seen him, like Mira, Erza, and Escanor—they've all seen Mystogan's appearance."

"Oh~ Rare, Laxus, you're actually in the guild!"

"Laxus! Let's fight!"

Natsu declared war on Laxus.

"Heh~ Someone who can't even get to the second floor actually wants to fight me."

"What did you say?!"

Saying that, Natsu rushed toward the second floor. Suddenly, a large hand grabbed Natsu. It was Makarov.

"Natsu! You are not qualified to go to the second floor yet. Laxus, you quiet down."

"Mira, who is that person?"

Lucy asked quietly.

"Laxus, huh... He's one of the S-Class Magus in the guild I just mentioned."

"Oh~ Then who is the strongest Magus in the guild?"

"The strongest female Magus is Erza. If you're talking about the strongest in the guild, it's Escanor!"

"Hmph! Escanor, I will defeat him sooner or later!"

Laxus was filled with anger when he heard Mira say that Escanor was the strongest, and he turned and left.

Makarov sighed at the sight.

That night.

A small blue cat secretly flew to the second floor, took an S-Class mission, and left.

The next day.

"Oh no! Master, one S-Class mission is missing!"

"What?! What happened?!"

"Heh heh, it seems a little blue cat secretly took it."

"Laxus! Why didn't you stop him?!"

"Why should I stop him? The weak should know their place!"

With that, he transformed into a flash of lightning and disappeared from the guild.

"Damn it!"

"Erza, please go apprehend Natsu and the others and bring them back before danger occurs!"

"Yes!"

Erza turned and left with a serious expression.

Makarov could only shake his head at the sight.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

When Erza brought Natsu and the others back, the tragic state of the guild infuriated Natsu. Everyone went to the guild's basement to inquire about the situation, but Makarov only stopped them from seeking revenge. It was a troubled time, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, especially when Escanor was not in the guild.

Everyone was angry, but helpless.

But no one expected that the fuse for a war between the two great guilds would come so quickly...
