Chapter 66: The War Begins! First, take down one person!
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Joseph was furious as he heard the constant rebukes from Kotomine Shirou and the other two.
This is not the scene or picture he wanted to see.
What he wanted to see was Fairy Tail members killing each other in order to survive.
The scene before him was an insult to him.
"Shut up!!!"
A sharp sound roared from Joseph's mouth.
His magic also soared.
The magic, rising and falling like the tides of the ocean, carried Joseph's anger and flowed around Shirou Kotomine and his companions.
Upon close contact with this magic, all three of them felt nauseous.
This is Joseph's death magic.
Simply touching it can cause a variety of discomforts.
"It seems we can only stall for time to this extent."
Sensing Joseph's surging magical power and anticipating his anger and impending attack, Shirou Kotomine launched the first strike.
"Stone lock!"
"Thunderfall!"
The two staffs, which were already prepared, launched their attack simultaneously.
Countless chains rose from the ground.
Countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky.
And their target was Joseph.
At the same time, as Shirou Kotomine launched his attack, Mirajane and Erza also rushed forward.
Both of them are stronger than Shirou Kotomine.
Therefore, they are the main force in this battle.
As for Mine Shirou, he was only a support.
"strengthen!"
The magical power within them surged continuously, and the strengthening spell flowed through Erza and Mirajane.
Shirou Kotomine used enhancement magic to strengthen Erza and Mirajane.
This significantly improved the strength of both of them.
After all, Shirou Kotomine's expertise in enhancement magic is incredibly profound.
As a magician who has been honing his skills since childhood, Shirou Kotomine's enhancement magic is in no way inferior to his projection magic.
That's why he was able to reach the level of enhancing others.
After all, enhancing others is a very difficult task.
"Hmph, a mere trick!"
Joseph's expression remained unchanged as chains and thunder descended from the sky and the ground.
He pointed one hand at the sky and the other at the ground.
The magic of death surged from his hands, easily erasing the two spells unleashed by Shirou Kotomine.
But just then, Mirajane arrived in front of him.
"Dark Spark!"
Dense dark magic gathered and compressed in Mirajane's palm, transforming into a jet-black bomb that then hurtled towards Joseph.
Sensing the power of this attack, Joseph became slightly more serious.
He swiftly gathered his death magic in his hand, just like Mirajane had, and then hurled it at the dark bomb that Mirajane had thrown.
The two spells collided violently.
An explosion followed.
A powerful gust of wind swept out from between the two of them, violently blowing across the entire top floor.
Just then, a scream suddenly rang out!
"ah!!!"
"What happened?"
Upon hearing that familiar scream, Joseph immediately looked toward the direction from which the sound came.
What came into his view was the fallen Aria and Erza swinging her sword.
"Great, the first step is complete!"
Watching this scene, Kotomine Shirou chuckled to himself.
After arriving at the top floor and discovering Aria in the sky, Shirou Kotomine has been thinking about how to eliminate him first.
After all, this guy is a dangerous presence.
Although it was achieved through a sneak attack, the fact that he was able to extract all of Commander Makarov's magic power suggests that his offensive capabilities are considerable.
Although in Shirou Kotomine's memory, the severely injured Erza instantly killed him.
But that was Erza after all.
If a fight were to break out, Mirajane would probably be held back by him.
After all, Mirajane had a gap of several years. Although she could continuously restore her magic power with the help of the gems given to her by Shirou Kotomine, her total amount of magic power remained unchanged.
In this world, the upper limit of magical power represents a person's theoretical strength.
As the leader of the four elements under the control of the Phantom Lords, Aria of the Sky certainly possesses considerable power.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot let Shirou Kotomine cause trouble.
It was already very difficult for the three of them to defeat Joseph.
If you add Aria to that, it will be even more difficult.
Therefore, taking care of Aria is the most urgent thing to do.
So, Shirou Kotomine and Mirajane launched an attack on Joseph as a smokescreen, and then Erza took the opportunity to eliminate Aria.
Erza, even when severely injured, was able to instantly kill Aria.
Not to mention Erza in her current peak condition.
In short, everything went smoothly, and Erza easily defeated Aria.
This allowed Shirou Kotomine's plan to continue.
For example, the current situation of three against one.
"I see, so you really intend to defeat me!"
Seeing Aria's miserable state, Joseph instantly understood the plan of Kotomine Shirou and the other two.
This made him laugh.
He was just laughing out of anger.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
After laughing, Joseph looked around at the three men with his cold eyes.
"I underestimated you all so much that in the end, I was the one who was underestimated!"
"This is really infuriating!"
The aura of death emanated from his body, materializing and swirling wildly in the surrounding air.

That was Joseph's anger.
He had assumed this would be a scene where he could relax and have some fun.
Unexpectedly, he became the other party's source of amusement.
This infuriated her to the extreme.
"Go to hell!"
Boundless death magic surged from his palm, heading straight for Kotomine Shirou and the other two.
Enraged, Joseph wanted to kill the three of them.
But what happened next surprised him greatly.
The Fairy Queen Erza actually stood in front of him and blocked all his attacks.
Although she answered very reluctantly.
But that was indeed his all-out attack!
"really!"
Shirou Kotomine, who also witnessed this scene, immediately brightened up.
This scene implies that although Erza's strength differs somewhat from Joseph's, the difference in their strength has not been widened to the point of creating a fundamental difference.
Erza could indeed barely put up a fight against Joseph.
"Sister Mira!"
"I see!"
Mirajane, who also understood what this scene meant, immediately rushed forward.
Dark magic burst forth.
According to the plan, she must stand with Erza to share Erza's burden.
And create good opportunities for Erza to attack.
"You bastard!"
Feeling a bit pressured by Erza and Mirajane's combined attack, Joseph immediately used teleportation magic to appear behind them.
The magic of death began to gather, and he was about to deliver a fatal blow to the two people before him.
But a sudden beam of light interrupted his plans.
Standing on the edge of the battlefield, keeping a close eye on the situation, Shirou Kotomine fired a beam of light from his treasured bow, interrupting Joseph's counterattack.
He regained control of the battlefield.
