Chapter 724: The Divine Echo Hall Opens (First Update)
Chapter 724: The Divine Echo Hall Opens (First Update)
Let's take a look at the current lineup of mages on Jerry's side. Excluding Zeref and Mavis, who can't use their full power due to the shielding curse, we have:
Erin, the Magic King who claims to know all Magic from ancient times to the present, a four-hundred-year-old master of Enhancement Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic.
Precht, the second-generation Guild Master, an expert in various Dark Magic and Lost Magic.
There are also all S-Class mages, including the former Demon Heart Vice President and members of the Thunder Palace.
Additionally, there is the former Councilor and Ten Saint-level mage, Jellal, and the S-Class assassin mage, a member of the Triad.
And let's not forget Natsu, Gray, and the other mages from Fairy Tail.
So, Laxus and his Thunder Palace members, who have just returned, might not have a clear understanding of the overall strength of the Fairy Tail mages under Jerry's leadership.
"Alright, everyone, calm down, especially you, old man!"
Seeing Makarov jump onto the referee's table, Laxus placed his hand on Lucy's head:
"Next, I'm going to play a game. The rules are simple: we will fight to determine the strongest, and the future of the guild will be led by the strongest.
These stone statues are hostages. If any of you break my rules, I'll crush one statue for each violation. Two violations, and I'll crush two!"
"Huh, that sounds kind of interesting. I'll be the one to defeat you, Laxus!"
Natsu, hearing Laxus's proposal, immediately ignited with excitement and charged at Laxus.
However, he was struck down by Laxus's lightning before he could even reach halfway.
"Natsu, I like your attitude, but I don't like your big talk."
After taking down Natsu with one move, Laxus burst into a triumphant laugh.
However, his laughter was abruptly cut short when he heard Erza's furious roar from behind.
"Laxus, how dare you betray the guild!"
A massive spear then pierced through from behind Laxus, forcing him to quickly sidestep.
"Boom!"
The spear embedded itself in the spectator stand, leaving a deep crater several meters wide.
"Truly worthy of Erza."
Seeing the damage done to the stage, the Fairy Tail mages couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"How could this happen?"
At that moment, Laxus and the Thunder Palace members, seeing that Erza and the other female mages had been released from petrification, changed their expressions.
Ebonyglow's Petrification Eye can only be undone by her unless the opponent's magic power far surpasses her own.
Even though Erza is S-Class, she theoretically shouldn't be able to break the Petrification Magic on her own, let alone for everyone.
"Wanting to hurt my beloved daughter? That's not going to happen!"
At that moment, a woman with red hair, who bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Erza but with a more alluring appearance, stepped out of the crowd.
She was none other than Erza's mother, Erin. It was she who had used Separation Magic to remove the petrification magic power from Erza and the others, restoring them to normal.
Erin's strongest form is Dragon Transformation, but apart from that, her Magic prowess is among the best in this world.
Even Jerry, who has now understood many of the laws of the universe, has gained much from discussing Magic with her.
In addition to mastering various Magic skills like flight and telekinesis, Erin has pushed the limits of her Enhancement Magic to its utmost, enabling it to achieve many unimaginable feats.
Her Enhancement Magic can enhance anything. It can make a wooden stick harder than a diamond, or it can add heat to the ground, turning a frozen wasteland into a warm spring. It can generate massive Fireballs to attack enemies, trigger devastating earthquakes, or even swap the positions of everyone on a continent.
She also has a highly destructive Magic called Divine Star Collapse, which directly summons a meteor shower. Its power is at least ten times greater than Zeref's Celestial Star Collapse.
If it were just these abilities, Jerry wouldn't be too concerned, as he knows many powerful destructive Magic spells himself.
What worries him is that Erin's Enhancement Magic can also enhance personality, appearance changes, magic power, and separation, capable of removing any abnormal status. It's practically all-encompassing.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Erin appear, Laxus's face showed a serious expression. He didn't recognize Erin, but he could sense the enormous magic power within her.
"Little one, I'm Erza's mother, and I'm also a new member of the Fairy Tail guild."
Erin smiled and showed the Fairy Tail emblem on the back of her hand.
"Erza's mother!"
Laxus's mouth twitched. How could Erza have a mother who joined the guild and possessed such strong magic power after just a short time away?
"Laxus, I've already set up the ritual. We need to retreat. There's no way we can win here right now!"
At that moment, Fried, the calmest member of the Thunder Palace, whispered in Laxus's ear.
From the start of the selection, he had sensed something was off. There were many unfamiliar faces in the guild, and even the first generation who were long dead and the second generation who had left the guild decades ago were sitting at the referee's table.
But it was too late to back out now. Even though the situation was different from what they had anticipated, they had to proceed with the plan.
However, he was confident in his ritual. Even with the new faces, he believed he could still maintain control.
"Since that's the case, I'll use the entire town as hostages. Old man, we've already activated the forbidden Magic, the Divine Echo Hall, above the town. If you don't play by my rules, the entire Magnolia town and its residents will die!"
Laxus grabbed his subordinates from the Thunder Palace, left those final words, and vanished from the stage in a flash of lightning.
"This reckless guy, actually activating the Divine Echo Hall. What is he planning to do!"
Makarov roared upon hearing this.
The Divine Echo Hall is a special Magic composed of over three hundred magic crystals that store lightning. When fully unleashed, it can instantly reduce an entire town to ashes.
Moreover, each lightning magic crystal is imbued with Bio-Link Magic, meaning any attack on the crystals will result in an equal counterattack.
"Actually, it's not so bad. The guild hasn't been this lively in a long time. Let's go and check the situation outside!"
Jerry stood up, comforting Makarov, and then led everyone out of the guild.
Seeing this, Makarov's anger subsided a bit. He knew that with Jerry and so many powerful mages present, even the Divine Echo Hall wouldn't cause any harm.
