On Tenrou Island, Gajeel and Levy were together.
"It seems I really didn't come to the wrong place this time. I can even fight hostile forces, hahaha, not bad, not bad!"
"Let me see if the enemy has arrived!"
When Zorn's telepathy transmitted the information to him, the previously somewhat dull feeling immediately disappeared, and now he was full of vigor.
Gajeel swayed back and forth, looking around, his hand also gesturing to his forehead, full of interest, completely oblivious to Levy, who had already walked ahead and was looking a bit dispirited.
Levy was currently immersed in self-blame and hadn't recovered, nor did she care whether Gajeel had ignored her.
Whether he cared about her or not, through his previous protection, Levy had already confirmed in her heart that Gajeel's personality was just like that, but her current strength... was very weak... and she wasn't confident she could help Gajeel against this enemy.
Would she be a burden to Gajeel?
This low and self-blaming emotion continued to accompany Levy, and the distance between her and Gajeel grew wider, yet she didn't notice anything unusual.
Thump~ Thump~ Thump~
Levy's head bobbed up and down with Gajeel's pat, and her thoughts were immediately interrupted as she looked at Gajeel blankly.
While Gajeel was still looking around behind her, he suddenly noticed Levy had walked so far away, and recalling that the enemy was a Dark Guild, he worriedly rushed to catch up.
But even when he waved his hand in front of Levy, she didn't notice.
She still had a face full of self-reproach and regret, which made Gajeel's heart stir.
He had experienced similar despondency for a period when he was instantly defeated by Zorn; he could understand this feeling.
So, he only tapped Levy's head to divert her attention.
"What's wrong, shorty? Why are you so down... This is a rare chance for a fight..."
"But..."
Levy heard Gajeel's words and was about to open her mouth to explain.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Along with the rustling of the grass, a katana, gleaming coldly and bearing the character for'slash', cut horizontally.
Gajeel quickly transformed his left arm into steel to block it directly, while his other hand turned into a Steel Dragon Club and slammed directly into the stomach of a chicken-headed figure behind him.
This swift reaction scared the dog-headed figure in samurai attire, who quickly jumped back, looking at the two with caution.
"Remember, don't leave my side on your own next time... Did you hear me?"
Gajeel clapped his fists together, declaring powerfully, and shielded Levy behind him.
"It seems you are the invaders—Dark Guild - Grimoire Heart!"
Gajeel looked at the enemy with excitement, mixed with a hint of disdain, that arrogant expression immediately ignited the enemy's anger.
Levy stared blankly at Gajeel's back, her little heart thumping, and she whispered, "Gajeel..."
"Our purpose in coming here is... to hunt Fairy Tail! Not to watch you two show affection!"
"Boom~" Grimoire Heart member, Yumaz, slashed his katana forward, and a three-dimensional character immediately resounded throughout the forest.
"Ah~ So noisy!!!"
"Magic comes from the characters, just like your magic, Levy." Gajeel covered his ears and shouted.
"This magic is... Oriental Script?"
Levy looked at the characters and immediately realized what script it was, shouting it out.
However, due to the huge roaring sound of the surrounding environment, their voices could not reach each other's ears.
As soon as Yumaz's magic took effect, Kamaz immediately understood; this was their tacit understanding as partners. In this situation, no one could easily detect their attack.
Kamaz darted out from a place neither of them could see, swung a claw, and a triumphant smile already appeared on their faces.
However, to their surprise, Levy and Gajeel seemed to have a premonition, simultaneously squatting down and dodging the attack.
"What~"
"This is impossible, it couldn't have been detected..." The chicken-headed Kamaz was stunned, his expression fell, and he blurted out in disbelief, but his body reacted quickly, pushing off the ground and leaping into the air with outstretched wings.
Countless eggs shot out from his mouth.
"Egg Assault~"
"I slash, I slash, I slash...."
The samurai Yumaz also launched an attack, but it seemed that both Gajeel and Levy were aware of their attacks.
They were either blocked or dodged, as if foreseen.
"Damn it, damn it, I don't believe it~"
"Slash~" A three-dimensional character appeared on the tip of the blade, combined with the samurai's swordsmanship, he swung with force, and a silvery-white blade light horizontally slashed towards the two.
Gajeel immediately moved forward, joining his arms, a magic circle appeared, light flashed, an iron shield instantly formed, simultaneously covered with Armament Haki.
"Clang~" The sound of metal striking highlighted that the attack was easily blocked.
Next was to deal with the noise.
Levy thought of this, pushed off the ground, her body levitated, and she quickly wrote with one hand in the air.
"Solid Script—Silence!"
The green'Silence' character, under Levy's control, rapidly crashed towards the 'Boom' character.
"Bang!" A flash of white light.
When it recovered, the huge roaring sound immediately quieted down.
"What, he actually erased my magic~" The samurai, after swinging another blade and Gajeel dodging it, was completely drawn to this sudden situation.
"Iron Dragon Club~"
Gajeel also seized the opportunity, striking Yumaz's face with a steel-clad punch.
"Ahhh~" Yumaz screamed in pain, flying backward, smashing through several trees, and smoke billowed.
"Eggs, eggs..."
The chicken-headed Kamaz, however, directly spat out countless eggs from his mouth, attacking Levy nearby.
Levy, unhurried, swiftly moved her fingers in the air: "Solid Script, Fire—Fire," flames instantly burned all the eggs to ashes and rushed towards Kamaz.
It wasn't over; Levy continued writing in the air: "Solid Script—Tornado," the tornado caught up with the flames, and the moment they combined, under Levy's manipulation, the chicken-headed figure was directly swept into the sky.
His screams were incessant.
"Well done, Levy! It seems that although you're small, your strength is quite good, and you're ruthless towards enemies. Keep up the pursuit!"
Gajeel went up and patted Levy's head again, praising her.
However, this action made Levy blush with anger, and her small fists pounded Gajeel: "Don't touch my head, I won't grow taller!"
"Heh heh heh~" Gajeel heard her but continued to touch her head. The two of them didn't care at all about the chicken-headed and dog-headed figures lying on the ground nearby, continuing to show affection.
This severely provoked the enemies.
"You... don't get cocky! Once our main force arrives, people of your strength will be crushed with one kick!"
"Just wait to die, that's the Seven Kin of Purgatory, the most terrifying existences~"
The dog-headed figure lay on the ground, his body in great pain, but his face showed insane adoration for the seven members of his guild, as if he could see Fairy Tail begging for mercy in tears.
"You don't need to worry about that. Main force? Hmph!"
"You probably don't know, all of our guild's active S-Class Mages are on the island! They will only come and never return!"
Gajeel turned his head with a cold snort, looking at the two as if they were already dead.
"Oh right, Levy, Zorn seemed to have said 'annihilate,' didn't he?" Gajeel said coldly, without even turning his head, drawing out the word "annihilate" for an exceptionally long time.
"Yes, annihilate~"
"Sorry, you two, have a good journey~ Dark Guild, you also got what you deserved!"
"Boom~"
From a distance, a giant plume of smoke rose.
