Chapter 63 Baptismal Chant
Natsu and Gray were in a hurry.
They were eager to storm into the Spectre Lords' guild and wreak havoc.
But before they could rush forward, magical phantoms, personally released by Joseph, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, had already arrived in front of them.
That number is quite substantial.
As the ghost soldiers arrived, the Fairy Tail members immediately charged forward in anger.
They were determined to annihilate all these ghost soldiers.
However, once the two sides started fighting, the troublesome nature of the Youbing (a type of enemy) became apparent.
They were created by Joseph using magic, and their numbers were unimaginable.
Furthermore, they move quickly and are difficult to hit with ranged attacks.
However, if used in close combat, these ghost soldiers will quickly pass through the body of the mage and extract a portion of the target's life force.
Thus, without their knowledge, the Fairy Tail members had a significant amount of their life force taken away.
Then my body became weak.
"Wow, so many!"
Looking around at the countless ghost soldiers, Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
These ghostly soldiers surrounded the group, almost completely obscuring the sky.
Under their attack, the Fairy Tail members were unable to break through the encirclement and charge towards the Phantom Lord.
After all, if we ignore these guys, we'll collapse from exhaustion before they even reach the enemy guild!
"We can't let them lead us like this!"
After a moment of contemplation and making slight modifications to his plan, Shirou Kotomine shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone in Fairy Tail.
"Erza, Mirajane, the three of us will go all out to clear a path for Natsu and the others!"
"OK!"
"Let's do it this way!"
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's shout, Erza and Mirajane immediately completed their transformations.
Mirajane has fully absorbed the Demon Soul.
Erza, clad in the Star Armor, can use light magic.
And Shirou Kotomine, who quickly restored his magical power through the gem and now wields a treasure bow.
The three immediately unleashed their maximum damage output, instantly wiping out most of the surrounding ghost soldiers.
"Rush!"
Shirou Kotomine, Mirajane, and Erza were at the forefront.
Nazgre Elfman and Lucy followed behind them.
Before the charge began, none of the three, including Shirou Kotomine, asked anyone to join the charge.
As they looked back on the road, some were filled with worry, but ultimately they didn't voice it.
Mirajah was the one who was worried.
His concern, however, was for Elfman.
At this moment, Elfman possessed a great deal of hidden power, but he dared not unleash it fully.
Once he fully absorbs the Beast King's soul, he is very likely to lose consciousness and ultimately become unable to distinguish friend from foe.
But in a battle of this caliber, it's impossible for him to have any strength left to spare.
Mirajane was worried that he would relive that past experience.
That is, the scene that caused their sister's death.
But they were already on the offensive, and she couldn't persuade Elfman to go back.
In the end, all she could say softly was, "Elfman, you must control yourself!"
"Don't worry, sister!"
"I won't be like that anymore."
Pounding his chest, Elfman made a loud promise.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine reminded Lucy, "Lucy, stay close to Natsu and Gray, and don't get separated!"
Don't worry!
Lucy nodded seriously.
At the moment of the charge, she didn't actually have to join the charge.
But apart from her, her teammates were all on the front lines.
She didn't want to run away.
She wanted to be a teammate who could truly stand by their side.
So she followed.
"Attention everyone, the enemy is attacking again!"
Erza quickly reminded her.
Looking ahead, one could see endless darkness erupting from the top of the Spectre Dominator's guild like a volcanic eruption, then transforming into spectral soldiers.
Furthermore, compared to the last time, the number of ghost soldiers released by the opponent this time is dozens of times greater.
In an instant, the sky was dyed black.
"You guys ignore everything else and just charge forward!"
Mirajah shouted loudly.
"yes!"
Natsu and the others responded.
As they moved towards each other, Kotomine Shirou and his companions clashed quickly with the Yubei.
Erza and Mirajane immediately carved out an opening in front of them so that Natsu and the others could pass through.
Meanwhile, Mine Shirou kept shooting arrows.
He shot down all the ghost soldiers that rushed towards Natsu and his companions.
Soon, under their cover, Natsu and his companions stormed into the Phantom Lord's guild.
"Very good, Erza and Mira, you two lure all the Ghost Soldiers over here, and I'll wipe them all out in one strike."
"Then it's up to you!"
Even Erza, the strongest of the three, would have a hard time dealing with such a large number of ghost soldiers.
That would inevitably consume most of his magic power.
This would weaken them in subsequent battles.
Therefore, they can only trust Shirou Kotomine's choice now.
Thus, drawn by Erza and Mirajane, all the Ghost Soldiers gathered around them.
In the blink of an eye, even the sky was no longer visible.
"I sensed it before; these ghost soldiers are spirits born from magic."

"And since it's a spirit, my job is to exorcise spirits!"
"And exorcism is part of my job!"
With a slight upturn of his lips, the chanting began to emanate from Kotomine Shirou's mouth.
"Announcement—"
"I kill, I also create. I harm, I also save. No one escapes my hand, no one is out of my sight."
"Return to dust."
"I have called the defeated and the old. They have committed themselves to me, learned from me, and served me faithfully."
"Give you rest. Do not forget to sing praises, do not forget to pray, do not forget my name, for my body is light, and I liberate you from the weight of all things."
Let's get rid of the disguise.
"To forgive with revenge, to trust with betrayal, to hope with despair, to light with darkness, and to the things of this world with a death of darkness."
"Rest is what I bring. Burn away your sins, brand them."
"Eternity can only be granted by death."
"—I hereby swear that I am forgiven, for I have received flesh."
"May the Lord have mercy on this sorrowful soul!"
As Shirou Kotomine chanted, endless radiance overflowed from his body and flowed towards the sky.
Any ghostly soldiers that came into contact with these radiant lights were instantly wiped out.
Not a single wreckage remained.
A flash of light appeared, and the sky, which had been shrouded in darkness, instantly reappeared in the three people's eyes.
As for those ghost soldiers, they were completely annihilated in an instant.
And this is the 'Baptismal Chant'!
This is also the specialty of Shirou Kotomine, who is currently a trainee priest.
