Chapter 47

Phantom Lord is forty-seventh chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Team Natsu arrives to see that the guild has been torn apart by metal rods, surging out of the center. Mirajane meets them, and discloses it was Phantom. She directs them to the basement, once the storage room. Natsu asks the Master why nothing is being done, and Erzaagrees with Natsu, but Makarov brushes their words off. Mirajane says the attack happened in the middle of the night, so no one was hurt. Makarov uses this fact to make Phantom look even punier that it is. Natsu isn’t convinced, and Mirajane confesses the real reason why they aren’t counterattacking. It is utterly forbidden by the Council. Lucy returns home, only to find the entire team on her house. They say that in this time of war, it’s best to stay together, so she yields to the demand. They make themselves comfortable, and after some bickering, settle down and chat.

In the Phantom Lord’s hall, Gajeel is eating iron when is interrupted by an ally, which he punches away. Jose comes and congratulates Gajeel on the progress. He says that the “trash” won’t react from just that, so he left an extra present. Jose is delighted, but remind him to keep “that person” alive.

The next morning, back at the park, the team finds Levy, Jet and Droy chained to a tree, beat up and signed with the Phantom mark. Upon his arrival, the Master is beyond furious, and declares war on Phantom Lord.
