Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 77 The Ghost's Actions and Conspiracy

The Spectre Ruler, the mobile fortress headquarters.

Joseph sat in a high position, with the four S-class elements gathered below him, and in the corner, there was a strange man gnawing on iron with a clanging sound.

"Guild Master, Saberbite Tiger is a nobody guild we've never even heard of. They might not even be as strong as a few of our branches. Is there any need for cooperation?"

The Fire Element Rabbit Maru arrogantly spread his arms wide, showing utter disdain for the so-called Saber-Biting Tiger.

He couldn't understand why his guild leader would choose such a third-rate guild.

To annihilate Fairy Tail, the Phantom Lords alone are more than enough!

"German's magic as president is barely passable, but of course, that's not the point."

"The recent incident on the Island of the Demon's Ruins has given Fairy Tail a boost in reputation."

Joseph propped his cheek up with one hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "If we were to fight Fairy Tail alone, there would be some trouble, but it would be a different story if we were to intervene for the safety of our allies."

Large-scale conflicts are not permitted between legitimate guilds.

His original plan was to force Makarov to initiate a war through various minor skirmishes, thereby gaining a favorable position for a counter-offensive.

Ultimately, he aims to annihilate Fairy Tail, his sworn enemy, capture the heiress of the Heartfilia Foundation, amass a fortune, and solidify his position as the number one in Fiore.

After all, Fairy Tail has always had a bad reputation. Outsiders will only think that they broke the rules first, and even if they destroyed the town, they can blame everything on them.

The victor is king, the loser is villain—there are plenty of reasons for that.

Even if the council is dissatisfied afterward, it won't do anything to Phantomhive; at most, it will impose some insignificant punishment.

But now, the sudden public reporting of the Ruins Island incident has brought Fairy Tail a lot of praise, and there are more voices of support in the council, which has added obstacles to this perfect plan!

Thus, Germain, who had a conflict with Chase during the chairman's meeting, came into Joseph's sights and became part of the plan.

Small guilds don't involve much, and you can discard them at will after you've used them without any burden.

"Fighting for your allies, the guild master is truly a gentleman, huh? No~No~No~"

The earth elemental Thor writhed like a maggot, muttering inexplicable catchphrases.

"The end of the fairy's life, it sounds so sad~ So sad~"

Aria, the leader of the four elements, clasped her hands together, tears streaming down her bandaged eyes, resembling crocodile tears.

"Drip, drip..."

Juvia, the water elemental, stood under the dark rain, holding an umbrella and looking downcast, showing no intention of joining the conversation.

"Mystogan, Laxus, Erza... and now Chess."

Joseph, seated at the head of the table, slowly wiped the smile from his face, his eyes filled with intense jealousy and resentment. "Damn Makarov, damn Fairy Tail! Just how powerful must they become before they'll stop!"

"Gajeel, how's the task I assigned you going?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the corner stopped gnawing on the iron and let out a haughty sneer.

"Hehe, that shabby guild is now like a steel hedgehog. It's a pity it's late at night, I didn't encounter any lone fairies."

"Well done."

Joseph leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and chuckled sinisterly, "If Makarov can tolerate this—no, that old guy certainly can."

"Then, you and the Saberbite Tigers can give Makarov a big gift."

"A gift that will absolutely drive him completely insane!"

Gajeel dusted off his clothes, stood up, and said arrogantly, "Attack a few trash fairies, I can handle that all by myself!"

Joseph's lips twitched: So you didn't listen to what I just said at all!

"Ah~ Gajeel~ So sad~" Aria's tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Remember this, Gajeel: divert Fairy Tail's hatred towards Sabertooth," Joseph coldly instructed.

"Okay, whatever, this is such a hassle!"

After Gajeel agreed, Joseph looked at the four elements.

"Aria, go and prepare with Sabertooth first. Once Makarov appears, I will create an opening for you to drain his magic."

"While the fairies are at war with the Saber Tiger, Juvia and Thor, find an opportunity to capture Lucy Heartfilia and bring her to me."

"Okay, drizzling..."

"President, saying 'grab' is too harsh on a girl. If it were me, I would say 'please' in a 337 tone, 'No~No~No~'"

Joseph ignored his subordinates, whose personalities were bursting with a hundred different expressions, and squinted at the magical projector placed directly in front of him.

There, there was a complete map of the Kingdom of Fiore.

"It's time to erase Fairy Tail from this map..."

---------------

The next day.

After a brief farewell on Karuna Island, Uru set off for the northern part of the mainland to visit old friends and relatives, as he had already planned.

Urutia returned to the Council and began her path of atonement.

With the encouragement of Sherry and the other two, Leon finally decided to join the guild Snake Princess Scale.

As for Chess and his group, they naturally embarked on their journey back to the guild.

After wandering around for a while, it was already afternoon when we returned to Magnolia.

The setting sun cast a slightly somber hue over the bustling and peaceful Magnolia.

This time, Chase didn't summon the rock giants to hurry on his way—he keenly noticed the complex, unusual gazes of the townspeople.

Given the plot development of the original work, the source of this unusual hushed discussion is self-evident.

The Phantom Lords have likely begun their operation!

Natsu and the others didn't react much to this anomaly, and were still discussing the S-class commission.

"700 million J, that's 700 million J!"

"Wow~ I can't even count how many fish this money could buy."

Even if a commission is completed in violation of regulations, the commissioner cannot receive payment from the commissioner. This is one of the few strict rules in the guild.

However, Lucy was still overjoyed to receive the Sagittarius key to the zodiac.

It was not a commission payment, but a gift given by the village chief of the Demon Village to his friend in the name of gratitude.

"Oh dear, we were the ones who broke the rules first, so don't worry about the reward so much~" Lucy said very generously.

Such a shameless remark immediately drew condemnation from Nazgray and Happy.

"You definitely won't care if you get a gift..."

"That means all our sweat and effort were for nothing!"

"Hey! How about we take Lucy's key and sell it for money!"

As soon as Happy finished speaking, Natsu and Gray immediately perked up.

"No, that won't do! This is an extremely rare golden key; you can't buy it even if you have money!"

Startled, Lucy quickly hugged the Sagittarius key tightly, assuming a defensive posture.

Seeing Natsu and the other two closing in, she quickly slipped to Chess's side and gave him a pleading look.

"I don't really have a concept of money, but before you sell the keys to improve your lives, shouldn't you be worried about another issue?"

Chess raised his hand to stop Natsu and the others, his expression suddenly turning a little frightening. "Accepting an S-rank punishment without authorization will most likely result in that."

Even he, the transmigrator, didn't know what the punishment was, because it wasn't mentioned at all in the original work.

Although he belonged to the restless faction within the guild, that was limited to external commissions and did not violate any serious rules such as privately accepting S-rank commissions.

However, judging from Fairy Tail's style, it will probably just be a restriction on accepting commissions and serving towns and communities, right?

"Aaaaaah! Oh no, 'that' isn't something everyone can handle!"

"Damn it, it's that? I feel like I'm going to die!"

"Lucy, after I die, bury me by the sea. That way, it'll be easier to eat fish..."

The more they talked, the more terrifying it became. Lucy turned pale with fright: "Even Natsu and Gray... Just how terrible was that punishment?!"

"Oh, right! You guys were the ones who secretly picked up an S-class soldier; Chase and I went to stop them!"

Gray's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood firmly next to Chase.

"Fine, that's too much! Are you even a member of the strongest team anymore!" Lucy scoffed at this.

"Exactly, unlike us, we were threatened by Natsu and Lucy~"

Harpy seized the opportunity, took over the conversation, flew behind Chase, and stood on the moral high ground.

"You damn cat, this is the second time you've betrayed me!" Lucy cursed vehemently.

"If I remember correctly, you guys joined Nazrushi's side halfway through, right?"

Chess's cold and ruthless words immediately petrified the person and the cat: "Don't worry, I will report the details to the chairman truthfully."

"No!!!"

The group walked forward noisily.

Until the end of the street, the dilapidated guild, pierced by a giant iron pillar, appeared before them!
