Chapter 521: Saving Makarov (Second Update)
Chapter 521: Saving Makarov (Second Update)
At this point, the entire Phantom Lord guild building had been mostly destroyed in the chaos of the battle.
The current situation was as follows:
Ur and Erza were fighting Jose together but were at a disadvantage.
Natsu and Gray were teaming up against Aria, the leader of the Four Elements of Phantom Lord, and were also at a disadvantage.
The Fairy Tail mages, being only a third of the number of Phantom Lord mages, were also struggling in the mêlée.
Thus, in Jerry's eyes, Fairy Tail was at a disadvantage in the overall battle against Phantom Lord.
As for the guild master of Fairy Tail, the strongest of them all, Makarov, he was currently floating in the air, unconscious, held by Happy.
"Happy, what's going on here?"
Jerry appeared in front of Happy with a Phantom Shift.
Seeing Jerry, Happy immediately handed over the unconscious Makarov, tears streaming down his face:
"Jerry, please save the master. It looks like he's about to die!"
Jerry took Makarov and examined him. There were no visible injuries, but his magic power was completely drained.
Moreover, due to his advanced age, the sudden depletion of magic power had significantly weakened his life force, making it seem like he could die at any moment.
While Jerry was diagnosing, Happy recounted what had happened.
It turned out that when Makarov led the Fairy Tail mages into the Phantom Lord guild, the guild master Jose Porla, who was also one of the Ten Wizard Saints, seemed to have known they were coming and was already waiting in the hall with his mages.
However, just as both sides were about to clash, Jose proposed a one-on-one duel with Makarov to resolve the matter, to avoid a full-scale conflict that could draw the attention of the Magic Council.
If Jose won, the matter would be dropped.
If Makarov won, Phantom Lord would publicly apologize to Fairy Tail in the magazines, acknowledging Fairy Tail as the strongest mage guild in the kingdom.
Additionally, they would hand over Gajeel, who had attacked Levy and her companions, to Makarov for punishment.
Makarov had no reason to refuse such a proposal.
He was confident that Jose was no match for him, and the conditions Jose offered were indeed sufficient to quell the anger of the mages without attracting the attention of the Magic Council.
However, what no one expected was that when Jose and Makarov's duel turned in Makarov's favor, Aria, the leader of the Four Elements, who had been hiding in the shadows, launched a cowardly sneak attack.
Using her invisibility and unique wind magic, she struck from behind, completely draining Makarov's magic power.
Then, taking advantage of the situation, she led all the Phantom Lord mages in a full-scale assault on the Fairy Tail mages, aiming to wipe out the guild in one fell swoop.
Thus, the current situation arose.
"Since there are no physical injuries, a healing spell won't help. It seems we need to find a way to gather back the magic power Makarov has lost."
With his powerful sensing ability, Jerry quickly detected the massive amount of Makarov's magic power floating above the city.
Although Ur was struggling against Jose, Erza, with her versatile S-Class support, could hold out for a while.
Natsu and Gray were known for their resilience. Even with Aria's magic power-restricting eye patch removed, she couldn't take them down quickly, especially since Natsu's magic power could surge when he became emotionally charged.
The other Fairy Tail mages, though outnumbered, were managing to hold their ground with the help of skilled mages like Canal, Elfman, Macao, and Bisca.
Therefore, Jerry didn't rush to the rescue. Instead, he took out a thermos, spread his wings, and quickly began collecting the scattered magic power of Makarov from the sky.
"Out of the question!"
On the ground, Jose, who had been calmly suppressing Ur and Erza, suddenly changed his expression when he noticed Jerry's appearance and the collection of magic power. He instantly used spatial magic to teleport right in front of Jerry.
Yes, Jose not only excelled in dark magic but was also proficient in lost magic, specifically spatial teleportation. This was the reason he could easily suppress the combined attacks of Ur and Erza.
"Dark Magic: Soul Erosion!"
A massive black ghost, capable of devouring souls, magic power, and life force, swiftly lunged at Jerry.
Jerry, sensing the evil aura emanating from the black ghost, didn't hesitate. He quickly put away the thermos and shouted:
"Change Armor — Leo!"
Donning the golden Leo armor, Jerry clenched his fist, activating the armor's built-in speed boost and the "Light" magic rune etched in his palm. He launched a lightning-fast attack at the giant ghost:
"Lightning Speed Punch!"
A barrage of fists, glowing with brilliant light energy, instantly covered the ghost's entire body, destroying it before it could even activate its abilities.
"You shouldn't be here!"
Seeing Jerry, clad in golden armor, break through his magic, Jose furrowed his brow. According to his plan, the mage capable of spatial magic should have been eliminated by the people he sent.
"Did you really think those four could take me down? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your four subordinates are now quietly lying in the dungeons of our guild."
Jerry shrugged, a mocking smile on his face.
Jose's pupils dilated at this revelation. Gajeel and the Three Elements had failed? Could it be that Laxus and Mystogan had returned to help? Or was this mysterious mage also a Saint-level wizard?
Seeing Jose's shock, Jerry immediately used Phantom Shift to leave and resume collecting Makarov's scattered magic power.
Jose's strength was far beyond the four S-class mages he had previously faced. Even Jerry couldn't defeat him quickly, especially since Jose could also teleport. Unless Jerry used his ultimate move.
Moreover, he wanted to see just how strong Makarov's Law of the Fairies truly was.
"Rescuing Makarov won't be that easy!"
Seeing Jerry teleport away and continue collecting Makarov's magic power, Jose was alarmed and prepared to teleport over to deal with Jerry first.
He had ordered Aria to ambush Makarov but didn't follow up with a finishing blow, intending for Makarov to wake up and find his guild and its members destroyed, dying in despair.
If Makarov were rescued, the situation would turn around.
"Thunder Emperor Armor, Thunder Strike!"
"Ice Make: Icicle Bloom!"
However, before he could teleport, Erza and Ur's attacks from below reached him, forcing him to divert his attention to defend himself.
