Chapter 480: Hope
A massive beast marched forward with thunderous steps. It had two curved horns on its head, a pair of wide wings on its back, and a body so large it could rival a dragon.
Standing proudly atop the beast’s head was a red-haired woman in gleaming armor, a long spear in hand. Her stance was sharp and commanding, exuding fierce energy with every movement.
Not far behind her came the captain of the Fourth Magic War Division, Sugarboy, donning flamboyant pink armor and leading an immense force.
Every soldier marched with discipline, exuding the presence of seasoned warriors. Fully armored, gripping long spears, their synchronized steps made the ground tremble beneath them.
Under Sugarboy’s direction, the troops began to fan out, slowly tightening a formation around the guild.
It was clear: they intended to surround and overwhelm Fairy Tail.
Under normal circumstances, with Natsu and Wendy at his side, even against a thousand soldiers, Rhodes would’ve felt confident they could fight their way out.
But now—
"Before we begin," Rhodes asked grimly, "just one thing, can either of you still use magic?"
Natsu and Wendy looked at him... and then, as if struck by the same realization, both grabbed their heads and shouted in panic:
"WE FORGOT! We can’t use magic here!!!"
