Chapter 339 Time Error [Third Update]

For a guild like Specter with many branches, its mobilization ability cannot match that of the Kingdom's elite army. Even if an order is given to withdraw all members to the headquarters, it cannot be completed quickly.

When Lu Ning and Gray arrived at the next ghost branch, they happened to intercept the wizard of the ghost branch who was procrastinating and hadn't completed the evacuation.

On the street outside the Ghost Division.

There is chaos and noise here.

"Really, isn't Fairy Tail already over? I heard that even the president has been seriously injured. Why are we all going to the headquarters?"

Carrying a wine bottle, the drunk mage staggered out of the guild and spoke dissatisfiedly.

The person next to him tilted his head and said: "It seems that we were not asked to support the headquarters. I heard that the magician from Fairy Tail will sneak attack on our branch, so we all went to the headquarters to gather."

"Hahaha, sneak attack, don't be funny."

The drunken mage sneered and said, "Their guild leader is almost finished, and dare to come and attack us? I'm afraid there will be no Fairy Tail guild after today."

Hearing his words, many ghost mages beside him also grinned.

but.

Almost at the next moment, the drunk mage suddenly snapped, his whole body was instantly frozen in a piece of ice, and the horrified expression on his face was instantly frozen.

Gray's figure appeared on the ice, and the wizard who looked at the many ghosts said coldly: "It's a pity, Fairy Tail will always exist!"

"Bastard... bastard!"

"It's the wizards of Fairy Tail! They're really coming to attack!"

After the reaction of many ghost mages present, they all showed expressions of shock and anger. Seeing that Gray was alone, magic power surged in countless people.

But before they could do anything, an indifferent voice came from above Gray's head.

"Rumble Feather!"

Gray's position is already very high because he is standing on the ice, but Lu Ning's position is higher than him, just above his head, with white wings spread out on his back, Teigu's ability to fly thousands of miles is activated, countless white The feathers shot down instantly.

The many ghost mages who were all focused on Gray had almost no room to react to Lu Ning's half-sneak attack and half-crushing attack.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Countless white feathers fell crazily, piercing through the body of the ghost mage, and the screams resounded in the street instantly.

Among the many horrified mages, only a few reacted, released the magic power in their bodies, and used defensive magic without hesitation.

"Rock wall!"

"Ice crystal and iron wall!"

In an instant, three or four defensive magics were superimposed together, including rock and soil magic, ice magic, and hardness-enhancing magic, instantly creating a huge raised ice rock layer.

Gray jumped, avoiding the spread of the ice and rock formations. When he was in mid-air, he clenched his right fist and slapped the palm of his left hand, and swung down violently.

hum!
A huge ice hammer emerged from the void in an instant, knocked down hard, and hit the ice rock layer with a bang, and an earth-shattering explosion erupted.

Although this blow failed to directly shatter the ice rock layer, it also created countless cracks in the ice above, and the huge roar made the ghost's wizard's head buzz and his eyes stared. .

Whoosh!
Lu Ning swooped down from the air, his armed domineering condensed to his heels, and hit the thick ice rock with a hard blow.

The ice layer that was almost shattered by Gray was shattered in an instant and completely exploded. The rock and soil layer below was also crackling, with dense cracks appearing, and finally burst into pieces!
After crushing the ice and rock layer, Lu Ning simply made a seal and a powerful fireball technique, and sprayed it directly into the shattered hole.

boom!
The phantom mage whose eyes were staring at Venus because of the huge roar, couldn't make any response at all. With a bang, he was swallowed by the huge fireball!
Lucy watched this scene from a distance, and silently put the protoss key out of her right hand back into the key bag.

Whoosh!
Lu Ning fell back to the ground.

Gray also fell to the ground. He looked at the burning street and closed his hands. The ice modeling magic was released, and the ice quickly spread over, extinguishing the flames.

After Oku Alia plotted against Makarov, part of Makarov's extracted magic power disappeared into the world, and the other part was imprisoned by the ghost's wizards and scattered to various branches.

"Does anyone carry the president's magic power?"

Lu Ning does not have magic power now. Although his strong mental power allows him to perceive the existence of magic power, it is still difficult for him to distinguish the difference between magic power.

"Yeah... I feel it."

After feeling it for a while, Gray nodded slightly. Although he is not very good at collecting and controlling foreign magic power, he can still do this kind of ability at the common sense level of a mage.

Walking up to several frozen mages, he reached out to grab them, guided them with magic power, and absorbed a small amount of magic power with Makarov's breath.

"Put it away and go to the next branch."

Lu Ning spoke calmly, and beckoned to Lucy who was not far away.

Gray nodded, and Lucy quickly followed. The three left the street and continued to go to other ghost branches.

……

A branch of ghosts somewhere.

About [-] mages gathered here, but all of them stood far inside, gathered together, and whispered to each other.

In front of the crowd, there were two people standing.

"NO, NO, NO, the mages of Fairy Tail probably don't dare to come and attack our branch at this time."

The body was like mud, bent to the left, forming a cane-shaped Earth Sol of the Four Elements, and spoke to Genjiro next to him in a strange tone.

Genjiro looked calm, and said: "Whether you will come or not, it is an insurance policy, isn't it... According to the moving speed of your magic castle, how long will it take to reach Magnolia?"

Sol squeezed his mustache with his index finger and thumb, and said, "If you go at full speed, you can get there in about two and a half hours."

"Two and a half hours, which means there are almost four and ten minutes left..."

Genjiro looked at the door of the branch and said, "Wait another 10 minutes. If no one comes, we will set off and go directly to Magnolia."

Sol's body twisted to the left, then to the right, and said: "NO, NO, NO, I think we can start in 10 minutes, otherwise we might be late."

Genjiro didn't respond.

According to Yano's judgment, when he and Sol ambushed in this branch, they would definitely encounter Mistgang or the contractor, possibly any one, or possibly two.

If you meet one, then try to fight, it is best to kill the opponent, if you encounter two, then naturally give up the branch and retreat without hesitation.

This is also the reason why I brought Sol of the Earth instead of the iron dragon Gajeel. If it was Gajeel, the iron head would probably not retreat, but would rush forward to die.

Sol, who masters the magic of the earth, can integrate with the earth. If he wants to escape, he may be faster than him, and he has room to evacuate.

……

In a certain suburb, Lu Ning, Gray, and Lucy were riding in a magical four-wheel drive vehicle, and the wheels were rolling, and they were heading towards the town ahead at high speed.

[It has been nearly two hours, and the guild has not detected the movement of the ghost. Is there a mistake in my estimation of the time, or what did the reincarnation team do...]

Looking at the town ahead, Lu Ning pondered in his heart.

The reincarnation team's chance of winning is to let the Specter launch a general attack before Makarov recovers. This point is absolutely impossible to change. In this case, he judged a little less in terms of time.

Because the original book did not accurately express how long it took for the ghost's mechanical castle to attack from the sea after Mira and others failed to request Laxus to return to the guild. His initial judgment was about two hours.

Now it seems that there should be some errors in this judgment, because if the Samsara team speeds up the process, they should have reached the guild in an hour and a half.

There were some errors in the judgment of time, but the situation was more favorable to him.

In other words, the more time, the better for him!

【Didn't meet Mistgang along the way, because I found that most of the ghost branches had retreated, so I gave up destroying the ghost branches one by one】

Putting the question of time aside, Lu Ning pondered again. He had already attacked seven branches along the way.

There are a total of nineteen branches of Specter. Although there are a lot of them, the regions of the branches are all in the northwest of the country, and they are not scattered all over the country.

But even so, he is close to full speed here, and he has only attacked seven branches so far. How did Mistgang defeat more than ten branches in the original book?

If you think about it so carefully, and then connect it with the previous time issue, then from Mira's failure to call back Laxus to the start of Specter's general attack, under normal scenarios, it should take more than four hours.

While Lu Ning was thinking, Gray parked the magic four-wheel drive in the outskirts, jumped out of the car, and looked at the town ahead.

After a quick glance, the iconic Specter flag was quickly located.
