Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 57 The Plan and the Rearguard

Although Shirou Kotomine and his companions have not yet arrived at the headquarters of the Phantom Lord, the outcome of this battle is already predetermined.

That was the defeat of Fairy Tail.

To be honest, if we really compare them, Phantom Lord's strength is far inferior to Fairy Tail's.

The reason why their reputations were similar at this time was because the leaders of the two guilds were both among the Ten Great Wizards.

Furthermore, as legitimate guilds, they cannot directly compete against each other.

But in reality, Fairy Tail absolutely crushes Phantom Lord in terms of strength.

This was something that Kotomine Shirou, who had memories of his past life, knew perfectly well.

Although the two engaged in a fierce battle, Fairy Tail was not actually going all out.

At that time, Chairman Makarov was ambushed and rendered unable to fight.

Of the five S-class mages below the guild master, the strongest, Gildarts, is away on a mission and has not yet returned.

Laxus is going through a rebellious phase and has no intention of making a move.

His three powerful subordinates also did not participate in the battle.

To conceal his identity, Mistegant did not join the main battle, but he single-handedly annihilated all the Phantom Lord's branches across the country.

Furthermore, Mirajane was unable to use magic at the time.

Erza withstood the magic cannon attack to protect the guild before collapsing from exhaustion.

Even so, she still managed to kill Aria, the leader of the four elemental ghosts who had previously ambushed the guild master, with a single sword strike while in this state.

Even so, the remaining members of Fairy Tail defeated all the members except for the opposing guild master.

But only Joseph, the leader of the Phantom Lords, was someone that no one else could stand against.

His title of the Ten Saints is no joke.

Although he was instantly killed by Makarov's super magic "Fairy Law" after he was awakened.

But even that was instantly killed by the more powerful Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for others to be his enemy.

But Fairy Tail is very abnormal.

Shirou Kotomine believes that Erza in her prime is qualified to fight Joseph.

Although the win rate is extremely low.

The reason why Shirou Kotomine thinks this way is naturally because Erza is indeed powerful.

In each guild, there are mages recognized by the guild leader who can carry out extremely dangerous missions.

In Fairy Tail, only the five S-class mages possess such abilities.

Among the Phantom Lords, those of equal status to the five of them are the Four Elements and Gajeel the Iron Dragon.

However, this comparison reveals a problem.

The same thing happens every time.

In terms of combat strength, the 'S-class mages' of the Phantom Lords are actually only on par with Natsugray and Elfman.

If they were to encounter the S-class mages of Fairy Tail, they would only be instantly killed.

After all, these five guys are all ridiculously strong!

At this time in Fairy Tail, the strongest of the five S-class mages was Gildarts, who had not yet appeared and was still on a mission.

His strength was even greater than Makarov's at this time.

Next up is Laxus.

As for how to evaluate Laxus's combat strength, his battle record speaks for itself.

At this time, after experiencing the battle with Natsu and the battle on Tenrou Island, and then sleeping for seven years, Laxus defeated Jura, who was ranked fifth among the Ten Wizard Saints and was also the strongest human at the time, after only a little training.

Therefore, it is evident that even now, he is probably not far from having the combat power of the Ten Wizard Saints.

After all, even among the Ten Wizard Saints, there are huge differences between them.

For example, Makarov and Joseph.

Next up is Erza, the Fairy Queen, who is no weaker than Laxus.

She was truly strong from beginning to end.

Then there's the mysterious Mystergan and Mirajane, who had a few years of hiatus but whose talent was in no way inferior to Erza's.

Therefore, it is clear that Erza, if in her prime, would be fully capable of fighting Joseph.

If Mirajane were to regain all her strength, her chances of winning would skyrocket.

If they were to add their own full-force support, they might be able to fight the opponent until Chairman Makarov wakes up!

"Great, let's use this plan to develop the project!"

Kotomine Shirou's gaze gradually hardened.

He knew that the whole situation would change exceptionally quickly from here on out.

Therefore, he must devise a plan in advance to deal with the possible situations that may arise.

Although he can no longer completely trust the memories in his mind, they are still incredibly valuable as a reference.

"The Ten Wizard Saints, Joseph?"

"This is a truly formidable opponent!"

Kotomine Shirou murmured to himself.

After arriving in this world, Shirou Kotomine also went through numerous battles, both large and small.

However, due to the strength of his teammates, he has not yet truly given his all.

But in the next battle, he would have no chance to hold back.

That will be the real showdown.

.

Soon, the train arrived at the station.

The moment the train stopped, the four members of the group, including Shirou Kotomine, who had been quietly lost in thought with their eyes closed, immediately opened their eyes.

"Walk!"

At Erza's command, the four of them quickly set off.

Although the four running at high speed did not know the exact location of the Spectre Ruler, the intense magical fluctuations in the distance pointed them in the right direction.

Moving swiftly toward their goal, Shirou Kotomine and his companions soon arrived at their destination.

But what they saw at that moment was Chairman Makarov, who had already fainted from the pain.

"President!"

"grandfather!"

"Old man!"

Seeing this, Erza and the other two were filled with rage.

Only Shirou Kotomine, who had anticipated this scene, remained somewhat calm.

But anger was already burning within him.

"Erza, Natsu, Gray, Shirou!"

The rest of the Fairy Tail guild members became excited upon seeing the arrival of Shirou Kotomine and his companions.

"What's going on, Macao!"

Erza took the guild master from Macao's arms and asked angrily.

"I don't know either. The guild leader said he was going to settle accounts with that Joseph guy, but who knew he'd suddenly fall from the sky and end up like this!"

"Damn it, these guys were prepared!"

Erza made her judgment immediately.

"Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

Erza shouted loudly.

"No, I want to avenge the old man!"

Natsu and Gray roared angrily.

"Natsu, Gray is begging you!"

Erza couldn't help but shed tears; this was the first time Natsu and Gray had ever seen Erza with such an expression.

Erza also wanted to continue fighting.

But now that the president has lost consciousness, she is the highest-ranking officer on site.

She must be responsible for her companion's life.

The president, who is critically ill, also needs treatment!

"Damn it!"

Having traveled all this way only to have to flee back, Natsu and Gray were incredibly angry about this situation.

Just then, Shirou Kotomine placed his hands on their shoulders.

"Retreating was the right thing to do, but now everyone needs our rearguard!"

"After all, our enemies don't seem prepared to let us go!"

Shirou Kotomine coldly said, drawing his staff from behind and holding it in front of him.
