Chapter 44

Happy stared at Ariel and took a deep breath, for the very first time in his life, he will have to fight seriously with his life on the line.

"Lightning Cloak." Happy said under his breath as sparks of lightning appeared and danced around his body up to his wings.

With a single flap of his wings, Happy appeared in front of Ariel followed by a trail of blue light, as his arms extended, about to grab the bells.

"...gugh-..!?"

Before he could even touch the bells, he was flung away by Ariel's kick, however, Happy managed to stabilized himself in the air.

He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, he then stared at Meredy with an, 'Let's retreat, I'm too scared,' face.

Meredy shook her head, as Happy stared at her in despair and hopelessness.

"Sound God's Bellow!"

Happy felt a large amount of energy heading his way as he quickly dodged by flying to the side.

"Sound God's Voice Burst!"

And another blast was aimed at him as he fly away with tears at the corner of his eyes, "WHY ARE YOU ONLY ATTACKING ME?!" at this point, he's already crying out loud.

"Come on Happy! Man up!"

"Waaa~!" Happy just cried louder, however, the lightning covering his body seems to get even stronger.

"Wha-?" Meredy noticed this and was shocked, she then let out an evil smile as he look at Ariel and shouted, "Ariel-san! Attack him with much stronger spell!"

"WHY!?" Happy cried even louder and glared at Meredy with a betrayed look,

"SOUND GOD'S MACHINE GUN VOICE!"

"NOOOO!! I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT ANYMORE!!" he cried loudly as his speed increased every second along with the intensity of his lightning, "I WANT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL AND JUST EAT FISH! WAAA-!"

"Happy! Stop crying and get the bells!" Meredy cheered at the background.

Happy stopped crying and glared at Meredy with teary-red eyes. Suddenly, his body moved on his own as a blast of sound-bullet missed his head by a small margin.

"Good! You've gotten much faster! Now take the bells and destroy them!"

Happy wiped his tears and snot as he ċȯċkily smirked and faced Ariel.

"Hun, hun," Happy sneered with a ċȯċky look as he crouched and glared at the bells in Ariel's waist.

"Flash Step." As those words left his mouth, he disappeared from where he is and appeared beside Ariel, with the bells in his hands.

Ariel's eyes widened as she turned her head towards the crouching Happy beside her, with her hands covered with black aura, she attack.

"Sound God's Beating Fist!"

However, Happy already disappeared and she struck the ground, causing a large crack and shook the area where they are.

Happy appeared about five meters away with a cold sweat, he stared at Ariel with a frightened look, he knew that if it wasn't for his cat-reflex, he would've his head smashed to bloody paste.

"Happy! What are you doing?! Crush the bells!"

Happy quickly snapped out of his fright as he channeled a large amount of lightning in his hands and, with his titan-like grip, crushed the bells.

"AAARRRGHH!!!"

He saw Ariel screaming while clutching her head and soon passed out as he sighed in relief.

He couldn't help but thank his love for fish this time, after all it was because of all the fishing he did that he has such an iron grip.

Happy stood up and smiled, he then turn around and was about to greet Meredy, only to see her passed out on the ground.

His eyes caught a heart shaped seal on his wrist, he then look towards Ariel and saw the matching heart shaped seal on her wrist.

He slapped his head as he sighed,

"Curses, I'll be carrying the both of them, am I?"

...

The S-class mages were busy stalling the largest titan, which doesn't seem to work as only the jupiter canon has enough strength to push it back.

And the Jupiter cannon itself has a very long cool down so they can't use it at the same time.

Hiding on a behind a broken house, is Alzack, Fairy Tail's male gun mage, holding his bleeding left shoulder while sitting down.

He was almost out of magic power and his gun was also lost in the fight. Even now, he still couldn't believe how terrifying those titans are.

Just a few minutes ago, they were fighting in a forest, and before they know it, they have already retreated at Hargeon, which was now destroyed due to the intensity of the battle.

Suddenly, a green haired beauty dropped down from a house, and slowly walk towards him.

She seems injured, by the fact that her head is bleeding, and her walk is far from normal.

"Bisca.." Alzack called out with a smile, though his heart aches when he saw her injuries.

Suddenly, a rock titan appeared behind her, it raised its arms and was about to smash her.

"Bisca! Behind you!" Alack roared as he pushed his body to move, ignoring the pain he was feeling and tackled Bisca away.

Boom!

The titan's fist hit nothing but the ground, as Alzack, who is hugging Bisca managed to roll away.

Alzack took a gun from his partner gun mage and shot the titan's head, which didn't even show signs of being hurt.

'As expected, no damage.'

"Let's go!"

"Yes, let's find other mage to help us."

Alzack held Bisca's hands as they ran away, the rock titan firing some pretty large rocks at them.

Then, a large rock was dropped in front of them, preventing them from moving forward.

He moved to the side but another rock was dropped, closing all possible escape route.

"Fuck!"

Alzack cursed and look around to find other way out, his eyes then locked at his partner, who is taking deep breaths, clearly exhausted.

He sighed, hugged his partner harder as he whispered, "Bisca?"

Weakly, Bisca moved her head and glance at Alzack, seeing him smiling at her, she also let out her own smile.

"I love you, I love you for a long time already."

Bisca's eyes widened in shock, but then showed a smile she snuggled closer to him,

"I was waiting for you to say that, for a long long time now," she said, "I love you too Alzack."

They smiled at each other before staring at the titan before closing their eyes.

As the titan was about to throw the rock at them, it was punched by something like a rock golem, which look a lot like the titan, but is a bit smaller.

The titan stumbled down and glared at the rock golem, more precisely at the persom riding on top of it.

"Rock doll, beat that thing up for love!"

The person riding the golem exclaimed as it began to wrestle with the titan.

Meanwhile, Bisca and Alzack opened their eyes, and stared at the wrestling between the golem and titan in daze.

"Ha! Hahaha!" Alzack suddenly laughed, stunning the beauty in his arms, but then quickly, she also followed after him.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

After a while, Alzack finally stopped laughing as he wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes before staring directly at Bisca's eyes.

"Bisca," he said with a soft voice.

"Hm?"

"After this is over, let's get married."

"Eh?" Bisca stared at him in shock. Is this still the dense-as-rock Alzack that I know? The Alzack who is too shy that it took a life threatening situation for him to confess his love?

However, she soon shook all those thoughts away and smiled at him.

"Sure, after this battle, let's get married."
