Chapter 101 Interrogation
Rather than borrowing the power of card monsters, Chase usually summons card monsters directly to fight.
To put it simply, he may know a little bit of the black magic of a black mage and his apprentice, but his skill level is definitely not as high as theirs. He needs to put in the effort to learn and master it.
While it's true that having many skills is never a bad thing, learning too many things at once is like biting off more than you can chew.
This has a bit of a "going the long way around" feel to it.
Moreover, in high-intensity battles of the same level, it would push Chase to his mental limits, making it impossible for him to launch a chain attack with cards in the fastest and calmest way—compared to directly sending card monsters into battle.
After all, his magical duelist spirit isn't just limited to monster cards, but also includes all sorts of magical trap cards!
Another crucial point is that if a card monster is destroyed in battle, it will be fine after returning to the deck to rest for a period of time.
If he dies, everything is over!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chase will only use some of their abilities when he is overwhelmed by magic power, or when he has no power to summon card monsters, such as when he used Thunder Roar to deliver the final blow to Joseph.
but-
The situation is quite different for Sky Dragon.
The inherent limitations of magical power mean that the Sky Dragon can only be used as a last resort in dire situations.
However, the "God-Slaying Magic" derived from this can greatly enhance one's current combat style:
This is the real power of God!
With the blessing of magic, his close combat ability was already quite strong, and he also had a wealth of experience in this area (which he honed in his daily work in the guild).
Now, with the blessing of the God-Slaying Magic, plus the right arm of the sealed one that grows stronger with each battle, even without using cards, one can achieve an S-rank level in a single fight!
Imagine this: when an evenly matched opponent goes to great lengths to avoid various cards and prepares to directly defeat Chase, Chase counters with a Sky Dragon's Iron Fist.
That scene was hilarious.
"After the council's interrogation is over, we need to thoroughly study the Sky Dragon's power—"
Chase suppressed the vivid images that had been swirling in his mind, declined the dark magic girl's invitation to warm his bed, and his consciousness returned to the real world.
It was already late at night, and the entire camp was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
Oh, and there's Natsu's sleep-talking from the next bed every now and then.
Things like "Mysterio, let's settle this once and for all," "Erza, I'm going to beat you today," and "Where are we going, Dad?"
I wonder what the old father, hiding inside his son's body, would feel if he heard this.
Chess chuckled to himself, then pulled the covers over himself and went to sleep.
The next day.
After a quick breakfast purchased from Magnolia by the council, the tedious interrogation officially began.
Fairy Tail and Phantom Troupe are conducting simultaneous inquiries into individual, enclosed spaces.
On Fairy Tail's side, the captain of the mandatory inspection team, Lahar, is in charge, while on Phantom Lord's side, it's the toad messenger from the council.
The reason for this arrangement is simple: the Frogman simply didn't want to be alone with Chase!
This interrogation method can ensure the best possible control over the specific circumstances of the entire incident, eliminating any deliberately exaggerated or distorted facts.
However, the drawback is also obvious: it's slow, really too slow.
By the time it was almost noon by the time it was the first round of interrogation and Chase's small group's turn, it was already the first day of the interrogation!
"Gentlemen, who would like to go first?" the officer in charge of leading the way asked.
"Me! Me! Me!" Natsu raised his hand high and dashed off in a few strides.
He, who has always disliked and even been hostile to the council, has been quite enthusiastic this time.
Because he didn't want to miss this opportunity to get ahead of Chess and Mistergang.
Although it's pointless and meaningless for the person involved, but...
Macao and Wakaba, however, were greatly affected and rushed to keep up with the pace.
When it comes to surpassing S-class, the members of Fairy Tail are always inexplicably full of energy.
Soon, only Chess, Mystergan, and their "pet" Harpy remained in the tent.
"Chess, you go first."
Mistgang slowly rose to his feet, his tone remaining remarkably calm.
Under normal circumstances, Chase would have made sure those three knew who the boss was.
But now he was focused on the magic to destroy the gods, so he didn't bother to argue and slowly moved behind Wakaba.
And so, the group of five walked toward the interrogation room.
Along the way, Natsu and his two companions at the front of the group stood tall and proud, with smug smiles on their faces, just like Wang Yousheng from the TV series "Bright Sword," constantly showing off to their companions in the other tents.
"Are those three idiots?!"
Lucy, who had just finished her interrogation, couldn't help but complain.
Mira, who was in the same tent, looked at Chase with a smile: "Oh dear, this doesn't seem like him at all."
Mystergang
Erza's attention was focused on Mystogan, who was wearing a mask at the back of the group.
Surrounded by his companions chattering amongst themselves, Chase and his five friends finally arrived at the interrogation room.
Following the order, after Natsu and his two companions, it was naturally Chess's turn.
Stepping inside the tent, you're greeted by a square wooden table, where Lahar, dressed in the Council uniform, sits upright opposite.
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, preparing tea for us. Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Chase sat down, he unceremoniously picked up the black tea on the table and took two sips.
Rahar was exasperated by this overly familiar manner, so he picked up the file next to him and got straight to the point.
"Chess, male, 23 years old, Fairy Tail S-class mage."
"According to the Phantom Lords, it was you who provoked them by hanging their guild's mage, Gajeel, in the clock tower square of Oak City. Do you have any explanation for that?"
The expected explanation.
"He attacked our guild members first, and I was just retaliating to protect my comrades."
Chase slowly put down his teacup. "You can find out by investigating on Magnolia West Street. Someone should have seen it."
Although it was the middle of the night, the noise was so loud that even a pig could be woken up.
"As for how he ended up hanging on the clock tower, I—"
"Just a reminder, Natsu Dragneel, who came before you, already boasted, cough cough, admitted it."
"That's right, it's me, Qian!"
After silently cursing Natsu for being such a hothead, Chestan readily admitted it.
Putting aside the fact that Gajeel started it, just considering the provocation alone, Ghost's previous actions of causing trouble and disrupting their guild are far more serious than this.
Even if some members of the council were to pursue the matter unreasonably, he would at most be charged with "causing trouble," which would not affect the fact that Sabertooth and Spectre had initiated the guild war.
Even this scenario is impossible, for a simple reason: Fairy Tail is the victor in this war!
Lahar understood this principle as well; the so-called questioning was more of a procedural necessity.
In fact, the council has basically reached a conclusion; they are just waiting for us to collect the data and submit our report.
