Chapter 58 : Beat them up!!

Kyros hadn't felt anger in a long while. As his strength reached a certain level, many situations that typically fueled anger could be swiftly resolved. 

At times, Kyros even pondered whether he'd immersed himself too deeply in his adventures, adopting a somewhat Buddhist perspective.

Yet, when it happened, he realized that certain actions crossed the boundaries of his patience.

For instance, the destruction of the Fairy Tail guild couldn't be overlooked. It was the sole haven he acknowledged upon his solitary arrival in this world, and it held the deepest significance to him.

Now, witnessing its ruin, a surge of anger overtook him, emanating a regal fury.

The ground quaked beneath Kyros's feet, causing surrounding structures to fissure. Nearby civilians fell unconscious from the tremors.

Lucy and the others couldn't help but feel the weight of Kyros's wrath, each blow hitting their spirits relentlessly. They knew persuasion was futile.

Deep within the Fairy Tail guild's confines, individuals sensed the ominous pressure.

"This... this sensation..."

"It's Kyros!"

The guild members recognized the Conqueror's Haki and knew its source.

Initially feigning indifference over the guild's destruction, Guild Master Makarov's expression shifted abruptly. "No! It's Kyros, that rascal is back!"

"Go, stabilize that rascal's emotions, or the entire city will be plunged into chaos!"

When Kyros first joined, his Conqueror's Haki had stunned the city. Now, his power was even more formidable. Should he unleash it fully, the entire city would suffer.

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Kyros. "Kyros! Calm down! Everyone is safe!"

"Hush!"

As Kyros's imposing demeanor waned, Lucy and the others gasped in relief, their eyes betraying fear. Was this the extent of Kyros's power? Merely standing against it was daunting, let alone fighting it.

"Mira? What happened? Who's responsible?"

"It's Phantom Lord. Though it's hard to accept, we were attacked. Let's discuss it further in the guild."

"Phantom Lord..."

Kyros's eyes narrowed. He vaguely recalled the animosity between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail. Six years prior, the guild's Guild Master, Jose Porla, in a drunken rage, had assaulted Fairy Tail's Guild Master.

Back then, Kyros had just achieved S-rank mage status, earning Makarov's praise. During a celebratory gathering, amidst alcohol-induced merriment, Makarov had lauded Kyros's prowess.

Naturally, Jose Porla, viewing his guild as superior, couldn't accept the notion that Fairy Tail held sway. A mere thirteen-year-old achieving S-class wizardry was an affront to his guild's supremacy.

With Makarov's volatile temper and the guild's loyal following, outsiders questioning their prowess proved most irksome.

Each of them spoke a sentence in turn, and they all shared a bit of wine. Eventually, the two engaged in combat, with Makarov overpowering Jose.

This incident made it clear to everyone that, despite being among the top ten magic guilds, there was a significant gap in their abilities. Jose, losing face, never appeared at the regular meetings again.

On ordinary days, Kyros traveled the world, paying little heed to such matters. To him, the Phantom Lord Guild was merely a name he had heard of.

In the basement of the Fairy Tail guild:

This space served as the guild's warehouse, where supplies were stored on regular days. With the guild's main building destroyed and unable to be used, operations had temporarily shifted here.

"Welcome back, Kyros!"

"Natsu and Gray are back too."

"Did you see what happened to the guild? It's infuriating."

"Those Phantom Lord scum actually attacked us! Next time, we'll make sure to obliterate their guild!"

"Calm down, they're our opponents."

"Why fear when we have Kyros here?"...

Seeing Kyros's return, the guild members felt a renewed sense of strength. Fairy Tail had been unexpectedly attacked, and with no S-rank mages present, there was understandable anxiety among them.

At that moment, Guild Master Makarov casually waved his hand in greeting. "Ah, welcome back."

"Master, isn't it time for a drink?!!" Natsu snapped at Makarov in frustration.

"Oh, right, you went on unauthorized S-ranked missions, didn't you? Punishment!! Prepare yourselves mentally!!" Makarov announced, playfully tapping Natsu and Happy on the head, then giving Lucy a light smack on the buttocks.

Mirajane, hands on her hips, protested indignantly: "Master, this isn't appropriate!"

"Do you even realize what's happening, Master?! The guild has been destroyed!!"

Makarov sighed: "Calm down, it's not as dire as it seems. The Phantom Lord is capable of only this much. What pride is there in destroying a guild when its members are not present? Don't let such sneak attacks anger you, just ignore them."

"Instead, it's you, Natsu, who needs to control your emotions. You nearly caused a panic throughout the entire city earlier."

"Let's not bring the Magic Council into this mess again. I don't want to be scolded by those foolish councilors!"

Natsu slammed his fist on the table, roaring in frustration, "This can't be happening!! I'll make them pay!!"
