"Spin for me!" President Ouba of Lamia Scale pointed forward, and several small dinosaurs suddenly seemed to learn ballet, spinning on the spot.
Yuka took the opportunity to bring down these unavoidable enemies with wave magic bullets.
Jie Li used Puppet Strike, manipulating a small dinosaur to suddenly pounce on its kind, wrestle them and secure victory, then the "traitor" was besieged.
Jie Li seized the chance to change the control target and continued attacking.
Her magic couldn't deal with the dragons flying in the sky but was adept at controlling these "sub-types."
"Iron Rock Pillar!" Jura twitched his finger, and a stone pillar rose up, striking two small dinosaurs into the air.
Then the stone pillar bent and deformed with Jura's finger movements, continuously crashing into other targets.
The number of enemies was overwhelming, impossible to see the end. Even Jura had to consider magic power allocation during the fight, ready to assist his companions at any moment.
"Ice-Make: Tiger!" Leon clapped his hands together, and an ice tiger leapt out fiercely, its left forepaw pressing down on one small dinosaur while biting another.
With simultaneous force, both small dinosaurs were cut in half.
"Celestial God's Roar!" Sherria opened her mouth, spewing a black storm that devoured and shredded several small dinosaurs.
Leon reminded, "Sherria, conserve your magic power, there might be wounded needing care later."
"Yes, Leon, sorry for interrupting! But..." Sherria looked puzzled at the faint purple transparent shield around her, "What's this?"
Toby swung his long claws, similar to Wolverine's, striking the shield around him, but caught nothing. He opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and shouted, "What is this?!?!"
Yuka instinctively advised, "Don't lose your temper easily."
Other attacking members were reminded, "Ah, something's jumping out!"
From their attacks, purple-red cocoons flew out of the shield, cracked open, and blue-violet worms emerged.
The worms suddenly touched the faint purple-gray light flying from nowhere, their form expanding dramatically, then they hopped and jumped towards the small dinosaurs ahead.
"Kind of gross, but seem to be allies?"
"As long as they attack the enemy, they pop out on their own."
"It's probably someone's magic, anyway, we have reinforcements!"
"Continue fighting!"
"Oh!!!"
Lamia Scale's morale soared as reinforced worms joined the fray, significantly easing the pressure.
Mermaid's Heel, Rays of the Rising Sun, Sabertooth, and other guilds encountered similar situations.
Though the mages were initially caught off guard by the sudden dinosaur troops, the tide was slowly turning.
Some larger guilds were trying to break the siege to provide aid to nearby smaller guilds.
The Ghost of Dusk and Illusory Butterfly Wings guilds, having connections with Fairy Tail, were coincidentally assigned to the same region due to their fewer members in the Royal Capital.
They were under great pressure now.
A small dinosaur opened its mouth, shooting a thin magic beam aimed at Phil, the fire mage of Illusory Butterfly Wings.
"Watch out!" Star Spirit Mage Dor lunged forward, pushing Phil aside.
Phil fell to the ground, watching the beam piercing towards Dor's chest: "Dor!!!"
"Is it over...? Dor thought he was done for, but saving Phil was worth it...
Hmm?
A second later, Dor was stunned because he was completely fine.
A purple magic shield had appeared around him at some point, blinking upon the beam's impact and shattering as the beam dissipated.
The small dinosaur that fired the beam was swallowed by a swarm of suddenly appearing blue-violet worms, quickly disappearing amid crunching sounds.
"Dor, how are you?" Phil and other companions gathered around, asking Dor's condition anxiously.
"I'm fine, it seemed like someone's magic protected me... Ah, you have it too!" Dor pointed at the purple magic shields around his companions.
They looked at themselves, then at the strange worms joining the battle, exchanging glances: "Is this some sort of support magic? The scale and effect... It's overwhelming."
-----------------
Crunching... Dragon's Treasure members were now extremely frustrated.
Facing the King's Army and the squad led by Erza was already tough, but a swarm of strange worms suddenly appeared mid-fight.
If it were only about quantity, it would be tolerable. The most terrifying thing was these worms were agile and had a penchant for biting their equipment!
Whether weapons, armor, or any other items, regardless of soft or hard materials, the worms' sharp teeth seemed always to take a piece with each bite.
In just a short time, their cannon was already out of order, weapons quickly diminishing, unable to withstand the attack much longer.
A sniper bullet from Bisca rang and precisely flipped the helmet off Dragon's Treasure's President, and two reinforced worms landed with the bullet, biting at his armor from both sides.
Just as the President planned to strike the worms, a longsword pressed against his neck.
Seeing the flowing scarlet hair and those fierce eyes in front of him, the president promptly raised his hands: "I, I surrender!"
Other members also yielded under the attacks from Gray, Jubia, and the siege of the King's Army. Some directly surrendered like the president, while others were incapacitated.
"Help, help! I really surrendered, make them stop!" Dragon's Treasure's President called out to Erza for help.
In such a short time, his armor had turned into fragmented iron pieces.
The King's Army had put custom handcuffs on Dragon's Treasure members, yet the worms' biting seemed to continue.
A squad captain intervened, "Miss Erza, can you have these strange worms stop?"
Erza smiled, "Sorry, it's Rhode's magic, I can't cancel it."
"Ah... Mr. Rhode's..." The squad captain was troubled.
This timely reinforcement had accelerated the capture process significantly. But if things continued like this, any fatalities would overshadow the capture.
But appealing softly wasn't working with these worms, and using force against Mr. Rhode's summoned creatures wasn't suitable either.
"No need to worry, generally, they won't place people in harm's way." Erza said somewhat innocently, "You can tell by their cute appearance."
"Cu-cute?" The squad captain couldn't fathom Erza's taste.
Gray and the others didn't bother to interfere, letting these guys suffer a bit was fine, especially since they dared to fire at Lucy.
Kana reminded, "Forget about them, we have other enemies."
Nearby, many dragon eggs had fallen, and small dinosaurs attracted by the combat noise quickly surrounded them.
The squad captain also had to give up temporarily, for in such circumstances, even capturing the culprits didn't seem feasible.
The King's Army quickly organized, preparing to face the enemy.
Erza called her companions to ready themselves as well; they first needed to regroup with Alzack and Bisca to prevent the couple from being trapped.
Afterward, they had to fight back to the guild's plaza.
However, looking at the purple shields and the enthusiastic enhanced worms joining the battle, they decided to proceed cautiously, focusing on stability and avoiding recklessness due to impatience.
They realized that as long as there was one highly dependable individual within the guild, no matter what happened, there was no need to panic.
