Chapter 657: 657 Fairy Tail: The Overwhelming Power of the Sky, Erza and Mirajane Shamed to the Limit, Call To Laxus, Mystogan and Gildarts and The War Begins with a Deadly Blow!
(Secret Base of the Dark Guild: Naked Mummy)
Near Acalypha, hidden among trees and rocks, there was a small settlement of old houses and deteriorated paths.
In that place, inside a basement, there was a group of very peculiar men, many of whom had appearances resembling apes and monkeys.
"Where's the money, huh?" said a short, broad man with spiky green hair, small eyes, and several piercings on his mouth, as he beat up the thief who had tried to rob a merchant guild.
"Ah! I'm sorry, it wasn't our fault!"
"Where's the money!"
Ignoring the excuses and pleas, the dark mage kicked him in the stomach.
"Calm down, Gato-nisan," said another dark mage with a relaxed smile. He also had monkey-like features, all his teeth were gold, he wore dark sunglasses, an afro hairstyle, and a strange white suit.
"Huh? Is this really the time to stay calm, Zato-nisan?" Gato turned to look at his "brother." "Oración Seis is waiting for their payment, no one working in the underworld would dare to disobey them..."
"I know that..."
There was a faint sound, followed by a tremor that shook the entire settlement. Out of nowhere, the atmosphere became heavy, dense, and crushing.
"...!"
Both brothers collapsed to their knees, sweat dripping down their faces as if the very sky was pressing them against the ground. The rest of their guild wasn't so lucky—every single one of them fell unconscious.
"W-what?!" gasped Zato as his black sunglasses cracked under the atmospheric pressure.
"Urgh!" Gato couldn't even speak.
*Steps*
Both looked toward the entrance as they heard slow steps. Someone was coming, and with every step, the pressure in the room increased.
"Gentlemen I'm sorry to interrupt you... I was just wondering if there was anyone here... and it seems that there was."
By the time Allen's figure was visible both brothers were on the verge of collapse.
"I'm satisfied. Who says conventional magic can't be incredible..."
[Host, well, the difference between mid-level wind magic and the current expert level is enormous, and your creativity isn't falling behind either~]
'Come on, sister, I didn't train this magic to be praised...' Allen smiled with pride.
[Okay, I won't say anything else~]
'I didn't say you had to stop or that it bothered me...'
[...]
Allen chuckled. It was true that he had received magic from this world at low levels, but as the system said, if he wanted to increase his power, he could train it—or wait to receive similar rewards and grow stronger that way. Allen had done both. Among all his magic, the one he used the most was wind and flight. Since his flying magic was already expert level, Allen focused on wind magic. Thanks to that, it reached an advanced level, and after defeating Laxus, he received advanced wind magic, which, when combined, raised it to expert.
At that level, applying atmospheric pressure on his enemies wasn't difficult. Allen looked down at both dark mages kneeling on the floor. Although his original plan was simply to subdue them, he had changed his mind. Without delay, he reduced the pressure on them.
"Who are you?!" gasped Zato.
"Ni-san..." Gato muttered, nearly fainting.
"Who am I?" Allen smiled with his eyes closed. At that moment, both men saw a chance to live. They aimed their magic weapons mercilessly and fired.
"..." Allen opened his eyes slightly, and the brothers were left stunned in disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Allen chuckled a little—the bullets had teeth and faces, giving them a comical look, as if that minimized the fact that they were made to kill like any other weapon.
"The bullets froze in the air!"
This was also Allen's wind magic, although an improved version. He applied atmospheric pressure to the bullets from all directions, achieving a suspension effect similar to telekinesis.
Allen snapped his fingers, and the bullets were crushed. Then, turning his attention to the trembling brothers, he snapped again, and their magic weapons were crushed as well.
"What's the matter?" Allen smiled faintly. "Is it so strange to see wind magic?"
Terrifying!
That was the only word they could form in their minds. They had seen all kinds of magic—from forbidden to designed purely to kill—but never a mage who could instill so much fear with mere wind magic.
"Wait, don't kill us! We're from a guild subordinate to Oración Seis!" Zato shouted desperately. The difference in power was so great that any other way to avoid death was impossible—or so they thought. Their only hope was that this unknown mage would be afraid of the power behind them.
"No, don't worry, I'm a pacifist, I don't kill people just because" Allen smiled as if he were a messenger of peace. If anyone in the guild saw his shamelessness they would spit on the ground.
Gato and Zato felt there was still hope. But that little light was crushed mercilessly.
"Although on the other hand, that's nice to know, I happen to be looking for Oracion Seis..."
"W-wait!"
Upon hearing that they were from the Baram Alliance, Allen's smile turned sinister, though his eyes were still smiling. This made both brothers tremble, as if they had revealed something they never should have said.
"Then let me hear more about Oración Seis..."
Both brothers paled, they understood that Allen was not a messenger of peace.
"No!"
"Ahhh!"
The brothers' screams echoed in the place. Of course, Allen wasn't torturing them—he was just making them drink some potions to see what would happen, which traumatized them.
....
Allen spent twenty minutes with the guild masters of Naked Mummy, a peculiar name for a dark guild. From them, he got a lot of information, including details about several guilds also affiliated with Oración Seis, who had recently increased the fees they were collecting, and the names of their members.
Brain, Cobra, Racer, Angel, Hoteye, Midnight...
Allen walked away, leaving the basement. Before leaving, he stopped and looked at the settlement.
"This place shouldn't exist..."
As he spoke, Allen condemned it and pushed the atmosphere outward, creating an effect similar to Pain's Shinra Tensei. The entire settlement was torn from the ground, rising into the air, where it suddenly stopped. Huge chunks of debris floated inert, as if time itself had frozen.
As for the basement, it remained intact. Allen had already defeated them, and he wasn't going to kill them in cold blood. After all, at this moment, he was being a bit more merciful... They should be grateful that Allen had only made them drink five potions.
"It feels good to do good deeds..."
[...]
Allen already had good information. Now, according to his style—the style from before he fell into depression—Allen needed to strike, and strike hard.
....
Once back at Fairy Tail, Allen sat in his office. Makarov had only used it for paperwork, but now it was his.
Mirajane and Erza were at his side, curious, since Allen had told them he had a request for both of them.
"What is it, Allen?" asked Erza with a soft smile. She wanted to keep work and personal life separate, so she avoided being overly clingy or affectionate in front of others. But here, only Mirajane was present, who had a similar relationship with him, so Erza relaxed her strict demeanor and acted more like a girlfriend.
Mirajane laughed. "To think that Erza would have such a soft side~"
Erza snorted. "Says the 'pure and innocent' lady, but I can smell your scent on him!"
Mirajane blushed. Since that day in the warehouse, Allen had kissed her twice more, and she hadn't resisted. On the contrary, she had been very intense. Mirajane hadn't known she had such a perverted side—or maybe it was Allen, who had something that drove her crazy with even the slightest intimacy.
Mirajane caught Erza's mocking smile, and as if she were back in the old days when she fought Erza all the time, she felt irritated. Without giving her time to react, she swiftly lifted Erza's skirt, revealing lace panties—part of a daring lingerie set.
"Ara ara, sorry, Erza~" Mirajane returned to her usual composure and apologized as if it had been an accident. Then she leaned forward, resting on Allen's shoulders. "But who would have imagined that the disciplined and upright Erza would be ready with her combat underwear even during work hours, isn't that right, Master?~"
Erza was someone who could walk around in a swimsuit without embarrassment—or so it seemed. But whenever Allen was involved, everything became more embarrassing. Even wearing a maid outfit felt extremely embarrassing in front of him.
Erza looked shyly at Allen, and as soon as their eyes met, he smiled at her with affection.
"In fact, I like it..."
Erza turned bright red, and Allen stood up to support her before she collapsed. However, this time Erza didn't faint or explode with embarrassment. Maybe because the moments of "shameless flirting" with Allen had become so common that she had built up more resistance.
Mirajane was the same, though she was also surprised. Since meeting Allen, she had felt an electric shock, a numbness that made her legs weak, a feeling that he could eat her whenever he wanted, but that only once in a while.
She had sensed his latent ability...
Allen was a man who could seduce any woman, but he hadn't until now, due to his depressed mental state. Even now, he only behaved this way with girls he liked or who had won his interest. Otherwise, he'd have been like Loke, with dozens of women chasing after him.
Mirajane shook her head. This man made it clear in his eyes that once he held you, he wouldn't let you go. And the worst part was that no girl ever tried to resist him.
"Stop..." Erza whispered, embarrassed that Mirajane was so close and watching.
No girl was stupid. Allen had already kissed Lucy, Erza, and Mirajane. The three of them knew it. And it wasn't that they liked knowing it, but they accepted it— as long as Allen convinced them that they could give him their trust, love, and affection, and he would not hurt them, while showing them that they would not regret their decision.
"..."
Allen hugged the embarrassed Erza refusing to let her go, while she showed a timid side. Mirajane, for her part, watched this with a blush on her cheeks and wide eyes. Allen smiled, a smile that made Mirajane tremble—it was the same feeling she had when she accepted his date.
Allen turned to Erza, used his hand to lift the face of the dazed and shy girl, who at first didn't understand what he was trying to do. Without either of them reacting, Allen kissed Erza.
He did it right in front of Mirajane...
"Allen... no... she's watching...."
It wasn't a chaste kiss; immediately he introduced his tongue, intertwining with Erza's. She, in panic, reacted, wanting to pull away, but he didn't let her.
Mirajane watched this, first feeling an electric shock through her body, followed by great embarrassment, some envy, a bit of anger, and a pinch of jealousy. But unexpectedly, she didn't feel pain in her heart.
Erza wanted to pull away, but after a few seconds, she stopped resisting. She loved kissing him; it was always a unique experience that numbed her, made her feel weak but in a pleasurable way.
'This feeling... this scent... this warmth... this taste... I love it!'
Erza wrapped her arms around Allen's neck and took the initiative to kiss him, ignoring Mirajane's presence.
Mirajane swallowed, her blush extending all the way to her ears. Her lips parted, and her tongue peeked out as if searching for water.
'Wait, wait, is this how I looked?!'
Mirajane wanted to throw herself out the window. She had kissed Allen before, and she wasn't much better than Erza at this moment, but at those times she couldn't think about how she looked from someone else's perspective. Seeing the proud Titania behaving like a woman desperate for affection hit her hard.
"Allen...Hm~..."
....
After five minutes, Allen separated from Erza, leaving a silver thread between them. The red-haired girl could barely stand, so Allen carried her princess-style and laid her on the sofa to rest. Once done, he turned toward Mirajane, and she, knowing what he intended, took a step back.
"W-wait, Allen."
Allen walked toward Mirajane—the powerful demon, the S-class mage feared for her demonic power—now cornered against the wall like a frightened deer.
He smiled warmly at seeing this...
"I already said it... I'll make you love me with such madness that nothing else will matter..."
The shameless declaration that should have upset Mirajane—or any woman—did the opposite; it made her blush completely.
"Can I kiss you?" Allen grabbed her by the waist, held her chin, and kissed her without waiting for an answer.
Mirajane cursed—if he was going to kiss her anyway, why ask for permission? However, soon she stopped thinking, her mind consumed by the man before her.
Allen had decided to be a bastard since that day in bed with MJ. He couldn't give up on any woman; he didn't want to. It didn't matter if the whole world judged him—he would spend centuries, millennia, eons proving to his women that his love was sincere, in his own way.
'Ah... why do they always have to be like this?!' Erza thought, watching pure Mirajane being kissed with possession, and kissing him back with desperation as if they wanted to devour each other.
Every girl thinks the same thing at least once: "I want him for myself," or "I'll monopolize him." Unfortunately, they soon realized Allen was too good with women, to the point that they burned like moths without gaining anything.
Erza saw saliva dripping from Mirajane's mouth—that once pure beauty, once admired, desired by all men in Fiore, was now desperately shoving her hands into her lover's clothes, trying to strip him, unaware that she was still there!
"Hey!"
Erza didn't want to interrupt, but seeing Mirajane about to cross the line, she stopped her.
"...!" Mirajane froze and turned to Erza. Both girls had the same look of disbelief. A second later, Mira sat on the floor and covered her face with her hands.
Erza didn't mock her. Instead, she gave Allen a reproachful look before turning away and hiding her face with a cushion from the sofa.
Allen chuckled under his breath and sat at his desk, then looked at the three messenger birds, who wore expressions of disbelief at what they had just witnessed. Allen wasn't even sure if these creatures were real birds or if they could understand what had happened.
"Well, enough pleasure, it's time to work..."
Allen picked up three blank sheets of paper. He planned to send three letters, but unlike a normal letter, Allen could make a recording—like a video.
Allen coughed and activated the recording magic, which manifested as a small circle above the sheet of paper.
First Letter – "Laxus, bring your damn ass here right now! You didn't help with Phantom Lord! I don't want excuses! I want you here tomorrow or I'll make your ass the size of Mercury!"
Second Letter – "Mystogan! Enough of your mysterious crap! You're never here! You never show up! You're practically part of Fairy Tail's main force, but you're more like a ghost! I don't give a damn if you look like Jellal, Siegrain, or any other bastard, either you show up here, or I'll find you and drag you back to the guild!"
Third Letter – "Gildarts, I sent you a letter days ago, what the hell are you doing?! Are you walking with your ass cheeks?! Did you go on a hundred-year mission or are you circling the world?! Bring your ass back immediately!"
Mirajane and Erza had barely recovered from their embarrassment, only to now open their mouths in shock.
Allen sealed the three letters and handed them to the three messenger birds with a courteous smile.
"Have a safe trip..."
The three birds flew out the window as if trying to get as far away from Allen as possible. For his part, Allen took a sip of his coffee before smiling with inner peace.
Allen looked as though he had just confessed—his face illuminated by the sun, as if he had reached Nirvana and ascended to divinity.
Of course, who could blame him?
Fairy Tail was full of bastards, and Allen had to endure a lot of stress... Or that would be true, if this same Allen wasn't the biggest shameless son of a bitch of them all.
Allen spent a while in that state before turning serious.
"Erza, Mirajane, it's time to make our move..."

(Three days later. Btenza – Dark Guild.)
Btenza was a dark guild subordinate to Oración Seis. They existed in the shadows of Hargeon under the guise of a casino.
The guild master, a fat man covered in jewels, was counting the day's profits, which came from scamming their visitors—hypnotizing them into betting until they lost everything.
"Sir, it seems Oración Seis has increased the quota this time?" said a dark mage dressed as a bodyguard.
"Huh?! What do I care?! Pay them triple so they don't bother us!"
This guild didn't need to worry about Oración Seis's quota increase since they could easily afford it, so they ignored Oración Seis's moves...
*Crunch*
"What?!"
The guild master looked in horror as Laxus and Natsu smashed through the ceiling—two Dragon Slayers!
No one could have foreseen Fairy Tail starting a meticulous and precise purge of dark guilds!
---
(Harpuia – Dark Guild.)
This dark guild was directly led by Racer (one of Oración Seis's members).
It was a curious guild. Its members dressed like race mechanics and used tools as weapons. But no matter how strange they looked, they were still a dark guild.
The doors opened and tons of water rushed in, quickly flooding the place.
"Ahhh! Gulh..."
"We're under attack! Ghh..."
"Where's Racer?! Gulgh..."
Juvia and Lucy, with Aquarius by their side, watched from a tall building.
---
(Ghoul Spirit.)
A guild located northwest of Shirotsume Town, specialized in spirits or dark magic.
"Ahhh, it's Fairy Tail!"
Several mages went flying as Mirajane, in demon form, entered.
---
(Red Hood.)
A guild that used Pict Magic (magical drawings) and staffs, summoning creatures like wyverns.
Gajeel stood arrogantly atop five wyverns while Elfman sent another one flying.
---
(Mpv.)
Erza sent a dark mage in black armor flying without even using anything more than her base armor.
"Master!"
"The master has fallen?!"
"Impossible!"
---
It was quick... It was lethal... It was inevitable...
The dark guild Fuga was ended by Mystogan.
The dark guild Sunny was destroyed by Gray and Loke.
The dark guild Mercedes was eradicated at the hands of the Raijinshuu.
The dark guild Lancer fell to Wakaba, Macao, Vejeetar, and Nab.
The dark guild Ccc was brought down by Levy, Jet, Droy, and Cana.
And lastly, the guild Gloria—wiped out by a dozen not-so-prominent mages, led by Reddus, Max, and Warren.
---
(Allen's Office – Fairy Tail.)
Laki was feeding Allen directly in his mouth while sitting on his lap.
The girl seemed embarrassed to the ears but diligently carried out her task.
"Thank you." Allen smiled and patted her head. She brightened happily.
"I-it's nothing, m-master..." Laki looked like a bunny at that moment, which was very adorable to Allen—who could no longer hold back, reverting to the womanizer he once was.
Allen looked out the window before smiling mockingly. "It's time to cut off the head..."
The next day, there would be news that would shake Fiore—no, the entire continent.
All the guilds affiliated with Oración Seis had been wiped out by Fairy Tail, in a single day!
