Chapter 14: Shadow Thorn Prison
Seeing Gray making such a fuss, Calvin couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Calm down, calm down. The president is afraid that you will destroy a town, so he asked me to come and take a good look at you." Calvin saw that Gray's face was getting darker and darker and quickly explained the reason why he came.
"Tsk! The old man loves to worry!" Gray said to Calvin in a bad mood. Then he turned to Erza and said, "Calvin is here. Let him take over!"
"Calvin, hurry up and go to the front to see how Natsu is. He is fighting with Erigor of the Eisenwald. I am very worried about him!" Erza had different opinions. Although her expression was very bad, she said stubbornly.
"Sigh! whether I'll go myself or take you guys with me, Isn't that the same!?" Calvin sighed and did not want Erza to argue. The card in his hand flashed, and a black flying dragon was brought out by Summoning. It was Koumori Dragon.
"Sit tight, it might shake a little!" Calvin took a step forward and jumped onto Koumori Dragon's head. He let it grasp the body of the magic-powered four-wheeled car. With a flap of its wings, it led everyone to fly in midair.
"What... what is this! Is this a dragon" Seeing this, newcomer Lucy was extremely afraid. She had never seen such a fierce creature in her life, and even the members of Eisenwald who had been brought here by them had a look of fear.
"This can't be your new Summoning, right? When did you create it..." Gray looked at the terrifying Summoned Beast and muttered to himself.
"Lucy, don't be afraid. This is Calvin's magic. It won't hurt us." Erza, who was sitting at the front of the car, turned around to comfort Lucy. Then he looked at Koumori Dragon, who was holding the magic-powered car tightly. It was unknown what was on his face.
"I saw it. There was a flash of fire and a strong wind in the distance ahead. It seems to be Natsu and Erigor." Calvin closed his eyes and held his hand in front of his other eye, carefully looking at the imperceptible fire ahead.
"Still in battle, Natsu finally entangled with such a strong opponent for so long. What a shame." Hearing this, Gray seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was viciously talking to her.
"This guy is obviously worried about Natsu. Can't he be more frank?" There were a few black lines on Lucy's head. Although she wanted to say what she was thinking, she thought of how thin Gray was and decided not to say it.
"That's right. The boss of a third-rate guild isn't worth the few of you moving out together." Calvin, who had jumped into the carriage at some unknown time, nodded in agreement.
"Damn it, are you guys looking down on our Eisenwald?" However, Calvin's words angered the other person in the carriage. Ying Shan, who was brought into the carriage by Gray, spoke fiercely to Calvin. Even though he was already seriously injured, even though he knew that he was no match for anyone in the carriage, Kageyama couldn't help but roar loudly when his guild was insulted.
"I'm not looking down on you guys. I'm just stating the truth. The boss of the guild can't even win against Natsu. It wouldn't be too much to say that you guys are from a third-rate guild, right?" Calvin said to Kageyama with a sharp gaze.
"Gray, why do I feel like Calvin's words are completely looking down on Natsu... Isn't Natsu very strong?" Beside him, Lucy asked Gray softly.
"That guy's flame is not bad, but it is not enough in front of Calvin..." Gray replied with a bad expression. As everyone knew, his strength was equal to Natsu. If he admitted that Natsu was far inferior to Calvin, wouldn't it also mean that his strength was far worse than Calvin's? Although this was the truth, Gray did not want to say it out loud.
"Is Calvin that strong? Why do I see him acting so sloppy? And he often drinks and plays around with old men like Maccao." Lucy continued to ask. Before, in her eyes, Calvin seemed to be a little weaker than Natsu. Now that she found out that he was a hidden guy, her curiosity about him suddenly rose.
"Although he looks like an wimpy uncle, it is undeniable that he is indeed one of Fairy Tail's top sorcerers." Gray also explained to Lucy softly.
However, let me tell you, that boy playing with fire will probably be done very soon. The fire sorcerer will definitely not be able to defeat boss Erigor! Kageyama saw that Calvin had always been looking at him with disdain, so he also put on a proud look and said frivolously to everyone.
"Sorry, I can't do as you wish." Seeing the other party's appearance, Calvin couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, just as he finished speaking, everyone heard a bang.
"We caught up to them. The battle is not over yet..."
While everyone was chatting, Koumori Dragon had already brought everyone to the battlefield of Natsu and Erigor. Controlling Koumori Dragon to gently put down the magic chariot, everyone slowly got off.
On the battlefield, Natsu's face was filled with anger. On the other hand, Erigor was surrounded by a storm. The two of them looked at Koumori Dragon in shock.
"You managed to escape from the Demonic Wind Wall! Kageyama, you actually do something good"
"You guys just arrived. Wait a bit longer. I'm about to hit that bastard!"
Natsu and Erigor were first stunned. The next second, they immediately talk to Calvin and the others.
"It wasn't me, boss. Those guys dug the tunnel and escaped. It has nothing to do with me!" Kageyama hurriedly explained when he heard that Erigor had misunderstood.
"You can take your time beating up Natsu. In any case, the mastermind is here. If you lose, we will help you wipe your butt. Don't worry, just beat it to your heart's content!" Calvin, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically smiling as he spoke to Natsu.
"Ah! What's with that tone? Damn it! Damn it!" Hearing Calvin's mocking words, Natsu became even more furious. At the same time, the temperature of the flames increased.
"Fairy Tail Queen Erza and that purple-black dragon. Even if I defeat that guy who is playing with fire, I probably won't have the power to get rid of these guys!" After roaring at Kageyama and hearing Kageyama's explanation, Erigor's face was extremely ugly. It was as black as a piece of charcoal. Anyone who had only failed at this moment would probably be as angry as him.
"Ah! Die! Erigor!!" Just as Erigor was pondering over what to do, Natsu could no longer endure. The flames gathered on his fist and struck towards Aili Gore.
"Damn it! What a nasty little brat!" Erigor barely managed to dodge Natsu's fist. Then, he casually swung out a wind blade and began a round of encouraging attack and defense with Natsu.
At this moment, he didn't dare to focus all his attention on Natsu. He was on guard against the possibility that Calvin and the others would launch a sneak attack. Originally, he could still suppress Natsu. However, after he was distracted, he immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Damn it! Could it be that we still failed in the end? Or is it that nothing can change" Looking at the situation on the stage, Ying Shan was extremely unwilling. He clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling.
"No! I must let boss Erigor play the flute! Even if I have to sacrifice my life!" Biting his lips tightly, Erigor made up his mind.
"Boss Erigor! You must kill that group of old men!" Suddenly, Kageyama roared loudly! At the same time, black shadow spikes emerged from his body and quickly surrounded everyone. In less than a second, everyone, including Natsu, was trapped by this shadow-thorn prison.
"Kageyama! I will not let you die in vain!" The only one who wasn't trapped was Erigor. He was first stunned. Then, he nodded solemnly at Kageyama and flew away with a bang.
"This kind of thing, it wouldn't be enough to trap us, right?" Calvin glanced at the distant Erigor and said disdainfully. However, there was a trace of anger in his words.
"Hmph, of course, it wouldn't be able to trap you guys. However, this Shadow Thorn Prison can still delay you guys for a few dozen minutes. After you guys escape, the boss Erigor will have already killed those old men! Hahahaha!!" Shadow spikes emerged from Kageyama's body at this moment. It was extremely sinister!
