"Come to think of it, you're really bold sending your ace wizard straight into Oak City," Jose muttered, lowering the arm that had been propping up his face. His smile disappeared. He stood up slowly and began descending the stairs from his seat, step by deliberate step. "Phantom Lord has been developing in the Kingdom of Fiore for many years... and you're the first brat who dares pull something like that." With each tap of his delicate leather boots, the air grew heavier. Magic thickened, pooling like fog. A deep, dark purple mist began to swirl around Jose's body, his oppressive magic radiating outward. Unlike conventional mages, Jose's aura carried the taint of dark arts non-mainstream, wicked magic that clung to the skin like a disease. Just standing near it made one nauseous, anxious, and unsteady. In response, Chase activated his own magic, releasing pressure to push back against the chilling tide that surged toward him. He remained calm but alert. Jose wasn't a Holy Ten Wizard by reputation alone his raw magic power dwarfed that of normal S-Class mages.
"Don't worry, President Jose," Chase said casually, "this kind of thing won't happen again." "Don't you think it's a bit late to apologize, boy?" Jose replied as he stepped onto the last stair, now face to face with Chase. "Idiot!" the Dark Magician Girl jumped in with her usual sass, pointing at Jose with a scowl. "What the master means is Phantom Lord's done for after today!" Jose cast her a wary glance, but then his expression twisted. "Just another summon... no different than one of my ghost soldiers." A sinister magic storm suddenly exploded from his body, enveloping the entire command chamber in a surge of corrupted wind and gloom.
This was the Breath of Death a spiritual assault cast using dark magic, designed not to kill but to mentally crush its victims. It destabilized magic flow, induced nausea, fear, and panic, and robbed its victims of the will to fight. Jose rarely needed to lift a finger just releasing this aura was enough to break most enemies. But not this time. "Ugh, Master!" The Dark Magician Girl floated in the storm, holding her wand in one hand and struggling to keep her skirt down with the other.
"This guy's not just an idiot he's a total creep! He's as pervy as Uncle Macao!" She growled with flushed cheeks. She wasn't concerned about the smell of death she was more worried about indecent exposure. "Isn't it obvious?" Chase said with a smirk. "Just look at his face you can tell he's up to no good." "Indeed," the Dark Magician added coldly, his arms crossed, voice low and menacing.
Seeing the three standing calmly within the oppressive aura of death and even having the nerve to point fingers at him, Jose's eye twitched, and he finally exploded, "Who are you calling a pervert?! I'll have you know, I'm a widely recognized gentleman!" He huffed indignantly, puffing out his chest. "Do you even know what a real gentleman is? The kind who wouldn't hesitate to avoid even a super cute girl if she said she needed to go to the bathroom!" It didn't surprise him that Chase and his summons had withstood the aura's effects after all, it was only a basic probe but being called a pervert over it? That was just slander! "Alright, President Jose, I didn't come all this way to hear you ramble about gentlemanly etiquette," Chase said with a cold smile. He stepped forward, and the air around him erupted into a dark golden torrent of magic, blasting through the storm of death magic like a blade through smoke, tearing it to pieces. Jose's self-righteous tirade came to an abrupt halt. His gaze narrowed, and his voice lowered. That magic… it wasn't ordinary. His mind raced.
"Defending Tenrou Island has raised Fairy Tail's reputation. You've foiled my plans again and again. Now, even your magic power surpasses any of my S-Class members… and you're not even the only one! There are many like you in Fairy Tail. It's because of you bastard brats… that no one acknowledges Phantom Lord as the strongest guild!" His jealousy twisted into madness. With a roar, Jose raised his hand, releasing a surge of dark purple magic. A wave of ghostfire exploded toward Chase with a deafening blast, flames surging and smoke cloaking the battlefield. But a sudden buzzing shattered the fog the flare of a summoning circle pierced through, and in a rush of blazing energy, the Cursed Dragon burst out, cloaked in infernal fire, roaring as it charged straight for Jose. Jose frowned. His right arm emitted a stream of vile ghost mist that coiled like a serpent around his fingers. With a single push, he stopped the Cursed Dragon's rush cold. Even the surrounding hellfire, which melted stone and scorched the air, was completely repelled by the ghost mist. "Decent entrance," Jose muttered with a sneer, "but your power's still lacking." His left hand lit up with swirling runes, and with a flick, he cast, "Ghost Arrow!" Countless purple projectiles screamed outward, bursting like spectral fireworks. They tore through the Cursed Dragon, reducing it to scattered fragments of light, and continued their deadly arc toward Chase, surrounding him in a dome of relentless explosions. Even before the tremors faded, Jose was already preparing his next strike. Magic surged into his fists, forming a massive spectral energy construct dark, dreadful, and vicious. He stepped forward, poised to strike again and end the battle in one swift blow. But just as his foot touched down, a magic circle carved with radiant glyphs lit up beneath him. Gold light spiraled upward, forming a glowing hexagram that locked around his frame. "Trap Card: Hexagram Curse activate," Chase declared coolly, his eyes glinting with confidence.
"I see, this is the card that locked Gajeel in the tower, so he can't move, right?" Joseph, whose movements were restricted, had a blank expression on his face as he looked at the hexagram array with great interest. "Kid, let me teach you a lesson instead of Makarov. This kind of boring trick will have no effect on the Ten Holy Magi!" As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph shook his fists, and the giant ghost's skull head trembled violently, making a shrill and sharp roar. Under the terrifying impact of magic power, the hexagram magic circle made a crisp "cracking" sound. The surface cracks spread rapidly and shattered into pieces in less than two seconds! "A little trick? Isn't it enough to hold you back?" Buzz! A violent gale erupted, blowing away the fragments of the six-pointed star array that were spinning all over the sky and sweeping up the rubble and debris at the scene. In the center of the storm, Chase's cloak fluttered, and the magic card between his fingertips burst into dazzling light. At the same time, the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl behind him raised their magic wands, and the two overlapped to emit a powerful energy wave.
Dark thunder rushed and annihilated the gravel floating in the air. Feeling the extremely restless magic in the air, Joseph's pupils shrank and he stared at the area where the two staffs intersected: "Is that - fusion magic?!" Fusion magic is a power that can only be released when the user's will, breath, and magic power are completely integrated. It is an extremely high skill that countless wizards cannot reach in their entire lives. And now, these three people in front of me, just little kids from Fairy Tail, have actually mastered this kind of move? Joseph couldn't accept this fact, so he burst out with magic power, gathered the two giant ghosts in his palm and squeezed them continuously, compressing them into a high-concentration magic energy bomb. "Kid, go die! Death Storm!" "Quick Attack Spell Card activated, Black Explosion Breaker!" The dark thunder black ball and the purple light beam were shot out at the same time, colliding with each other like a meteorite collision! The terrifying and heart-pounding shock wave exploded instantly, shattering all the glass windows of the command room. Even the stone pillars of the wall collapsed in an instant and spread in all directions. The entire Magic Giant was shaking violently!!
