Alex is thinking how to make the fight look quite hard and the King really helps him soon. The Dorma Anim suddenly changes its appearance. It now looks more humanoid, like a warrior in a black Dragon armor.
This is Dorma Anim's enhanced form. Now it looks more powerful and intimidating. Well, it really gets more powerful in this form. It still misses its left arm though, even if it looks cooler.
"Hmm, let's see how good it is." Alex sends a mini Tailed Beast Bomb that he shoots at a high speed toward Dorma Anim.
To his surprise, his mini Tailed Beast Bomb is sliced in half by Dorma Anim's right sword arm. It really has a decent attack power now. Also, it's clearly much faster and more agile.
"Well, this should be fun." Alex grins excitedly before shooting multiple mini Tailed Beasts Bombs rapidly toward Dorma Anim in the sky as if he's shooting bullets with an Automatic Rifle.
But he goes overboard because of his excitement. Dorma Anim can dodge and destroy some mini Tailed Beast Bombs with its sword at first. But only having 1 arm to fight is surely very difficult.
So after just some rounds of mini Tailed Beast Bombs being shot, Dorma Anim can't handle it anymore. The next mini Tailed Beast Bombs hit it and some big explosions happen in the sky. Alex stops shooting too late because he is too excited to realize it.
"CRAP!" After the last mini Tailed Beast Bomb hits Dorma Anim, pieces of metal scraps fall from the sky. Fortunately, the King is protected and doesn't die even though he should receive some injuries.
"Y-YOUR HIGHNESS!" Edolas Erza shouts while looking at the sky.
"Where are you looking at?" Laxus sends a rather strong lightning magic at Edolas Erza and knocks her out immediately. He realizes that Alex makes a blunder that can't be fixed easily.
"Well, might as well make people think we are great threats so the Heroes will look much more heroic." Laxus grins before putting his hands on the ground.
"Lightning Territory!" After he says that, many lightning currents spread from Laxus's hands. They spread everywhere on the ground and electrocute everyone from the Royal Army.
Some try to evade by jumping away, but the lightning currents are too fast for them. Even a commander like Lily or Sugarboy can't escape from them. So everyone from the Royal Army is electrocuted and they are knocked out by the lightning's high voltage.
"..... What are you doing?" Alex asks after grabbing the falling King.
"Making us look more intimidating so that the Heroes can stand out more."
"... I see. But it'll also get harder to lose to them after showing this level of power." Alex is more concerned now.
"Don't worry. Humans' main power isn't their physical or magical strength, it's their brain. Your Edolas self will find a way to handle this. I don't really want to admit it, but he is a smart man."
"Is that so?" Alex hasn't met his Edolas self, so he doesn't know how smart Edolas Alex is. But he hopes Edolas Alex and Mystogan can show some great power to make the fake fight more believable.
"For now, just act like a real devil, you guys too." Laxus looks at the Dragon Slayers and Lucy.
"S-sure, but don't you think you went a little overboard just now?" Natsu asks while poking the unconscious Sugarboy.
Everyone else looks at him with wide surprised eyes, making him blink in confusion. "W-what?"
"You're the last person I want to hear asking that question."
"Yeah, you were the one who always went overboard when doing jobs, so it's not your place to ask that."
They are just having a light conversation for a moment, but it still scares the civilians who watch them from behind the city walls. The civilians can't hear their conversation, after all, so they only assume it's an ominous talk among the devils.
It looks even scarier with so many unconscious soldiers all over the place. Even the Royal Army Commanders and their King are laying unconscious among the unconscious soldiers, making the situation even scarier.
"CRAP! WE WERE LATE."
Everyone suddenly hears a loud voice coming from quite far in the distance outside the city wall. The "Demon Group" also looks at the source of that voice and the most surprised is Alex. After all, he finally sees his Edolas self.
Yes, the one who shouts just now was Edolas Alex who comes with Edolas Fairy Tail members. They've been waiting for the best moment to show up and fight the Demons, but Earthland Alex suddenly went overboard and defeated the King in Dorma Anim so easily.
Seeing Laxus followed through made Edolas Alec know that they need to move immediately. So he takes his Guild members out of their hiding and moves toward the Demon Group.
The Edolas Fairy Tail members were sceptical at first. After all, they need to fight a gigantic monster that looks very strong. But they calmed down very quickly as soon as they knew that the monster is Earthland Alex and this is just an act.
Although the situation seems to be different from what they were expecting. Earthland Alex showed too much power gap between him and the Dorma Anim that already looked very strong. Yet they defeated that powerful Magic Weapon so easily.
"Hmm, this might be a good thing actually. The stronger they become in people's eyes, the greater our feat will be when we defeat them. Though I really need to find a good way to make the victory more realistic and because their magic is too strong compared to us, we need to use good strategies to defeat them. We also need to show struggles so people will think that we really do our best."
With his well-known genius brain, Edolas Alex quickly makes a strategy to fight the Demon Group using their available weapons. He did make powerful Magic Weapons, but fighting a Tailed Beast plus some Dragon Slayers still won't be easy even with them.
Furthermore, he needs to think of how to fight when the magic power starts to disappear but they still need to fight the "Demons". Also, he needs to make sure the Demon Group will do what he is planning without even telling them about the plan in advance.
"Well, they will cooperate somehow. I just need to improve while we're on it." That's what Edolas Alex said before rushing to the battlefield with Edolas Fairy Tail members.
The civilians are wondering who these people that suddenly rush toward the battlefield are. Most of them don't really know about Magic Guilds in this world. But it's not really important for them now because they just hope that this group of people can save them from these Demons.
"Hoho, more prey are coming on their own. Good. These guys couldn't even entertain me, so you guys are coming at the right time." Alex plays his Demon role again while looking at the Edolas Fairy Tail members.
As much as he wants to talk with his other self, this is really not the situation to do it. He's already content for being able to see that he has another version of himself here and his Edolas self is not an enemy or worse, a trash human being, but a good person who even becomes Edolas Fairy Tail's Guild Master.
Alex looks at the Fairy Tail that seems to have more members than he imagined. He looks at them and gets surprised to see Lisanna there. He saved Earthland Lisanna, so she wasn't sent here, which means this is the real Edolas Lisanna.
She was supposed to die after falling from a high place prior to Earthland Lisanna being pulled here to Edolas. But she's alive, so either someone saved her or that event didn't happen, and the only one who could cause that here was Edolas Alex, the only Anomaly in Edolas, just like him in Earthland.
"You really bring a lot of people, huh? Seems like you really know what I want." Earthland Alex grins in his giant Kurama form.
"They are my precious friends and the ones I trusted the most. Of course, I will bring them because they're the best supports I can get in this world." Edolas Alex answers with a grin too.
"Is that so? Then their lives must be very precious to you, right? I wonder what will happen to you once I kill all of them." Kurama Alex enjoys this act too much.
"You can keep wondering. After all, it will never happen. I will never let it happen." Edolas Alex says it while taking a big Sniper Rifle from his back and spins it in front of him.
"Heh, that's a great spirit you have there. But I wonder if you can back up your big words. Even your King and his soldiers couldn't do anything to me, so I'll see it for myself whether you can do it or not. Don't die too quickly or I will be very disappointed, human."
Kurama Alex grins excitedly. He really wants to see how great his Edolas self is. After all, he has a selfish thought by wanting all versions of himself across the multiverse to be strong and most importantly, good people.
Anyway, now Edolas Alex has shown up together with Edolas Fairy Tail. This fight will be the stage for Edolas to get a Hero or some Heroes for their world. So this will be a battle that goes down the history of Edolas.
