LITTLE FURY ( fairy tail. )

CHAPTER ELEVEN ➵ LIGHT AND DARK CLASH

"I don't like this feelin'." Gray voiced his thoughts as the feeling and stench of death continued to fill up the storm-torn chamber. 

"Ugh, I'm super manly and it gives me chills." Elfman admitted. Dealana coughed into her hand, much to the others' concern, and chose to hide the fact that a few specks of blood had landed on her gloves. She supposed it's what she got for using such a powerful spell when she didn't have the magical energy to spare. If she hadn't defeated Aria in one blow, she would have cast more spells and probably kill herself in the process. After all, a wizard's magic energy is connected to their life force, and should Dealana go past that limit...she didn't want to think about that.

Mira's voice brought her back to the present, "Whatever it is, it's pure evil."

"Smells horrid too." Dealana muttered before the sound of slow, sarcastic clapping reached their ears. 

"Bravo. You are all quite keen. Very impressive, Fairy Tail wizards." Turning, they were met with the disgusting sight of Master Jose of Phantom Lord. A dark purple-black aura of magic power surrounding his body, "I knew this would be fun, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be this entertaining. You annihilated the Jupiter cannon, disposed of my elite Element 4, and you even managed to bring my magic giant to its knees."

"Master Jose!" Erza identified the man easily, and Dealana cringed at the man's painted black lips. At least, she assumed they were painted. She really didn't want to think about it.

"This creep?" Elfman exclaimed in surprise looking at the extravagantly dressed man.

"He's Phantom's master?" Gray questioned.

"It's like there's a black cloud hanging over him." Mira commented, a hand of her mouth as her body shook slightly, "I feel sick just being near him."

"Thank you. You've been so kind to entertain me. I simply must return the favor." Jose remarked before Elfman and Gray got into fighting stances, much to Dealana's horror.

"You ready?" the ice mage asked Elfman.

"You bet!"

"I'll return it in full." Jose sneered raising a hand in front of his face, the sky-blunette watching as dark magic began to surround it gradually. Gray, however, also began preparing an ice make spell by bringing a closed to rest on his open palm. Elfman raised his arm in the air, using his take-over magic.

"Ice make saucer."

"Beast Arm!"

"No! Don't do it!" Erza exclaimed in alarm.

"Gray! Elfman!" Dealana matched the scarlet haired mage's volume and worry. It was too late, Gray and Elfman leapt toward Phantom's master only to be met with a large magic circle and purple gastly shades shooting toward them.

"How absurd!" Jose shouted at the boys before Dealana heard them cry out in pain. They were sent flying back and landed harshly on the ground a distance away among the rubble.
