Chapter 744: Fairy Law!
Chapter 744: Fairy Law!
In the sky, the battle between Jose Porla, Master of Grimoire Heart, and Makarov Dreyar, Master of Fairy Tail, rages on. Their clash, between two of the Ten Wizard Saints, remains the most awe-inspiring spectacle on the battlefield.
Both masters keep a watchful eye on the battle unfolding below.
Jose frowns slightly as he observes that Fairy Tail still maintains the upper hand against the combined forces of the three guilds, even without Gildarts on the Century Mission and Feng Ye holding down the fort at the guild. With their S-class wizards absent, the tide could easily turn.
"As expected of Fairy Tail, the strongest guild in Ishgar. To hold the advantage against our three guilds united is impressive. If Gildarts and Feng Ye were here, our side would've crumbled by now," Jose remarks, unable to hide his concern.
"Of course," Makarov retorts. "Fairy Tail doesn't stoop to underhanded tactics like yours. You're only digging your own grave."
A sinister smile spreads across Jose's face. "If that's the case, I suppose I have no choice but to intervene more directly."
Hearing this, Makarov's expression darkens. "What are you planning, Jose?"
"I'm just going to spice things up a bit," Jose replies with a malicious grin. He raises his hand, and a surge of surging magic power erupts, transforming into a purple-black radiance that spreads outward from his body.
Countless Grimoire Heart soldiers emerge from the light, diving into the fray and joining the battle against Fairy Tail's wizards.
Black Magic—
Grimoire Soldiers Descend!
The three guilds, already on the back foot, find themselves pushed further into retreat. But with Jose's influx of soldiers, the tide turns once more.
Grimoire Heart stabilizes and begins to push back against Fairy Tail!
"Damn it!" Makarov's eyes flash with anger as he sees the situation unfolding. "How dare you divert your attention to other battles while facing me!"
Jose scoffs, deflecting Makarov's attacks as he speaks. "Guild wars are about the collective effort, not individual victories, Makarov."
By summoning the Grimoire Soldiers, Jose has diminished his own magical power, making it nearly impossible to defeat Makarov in direct combat. All he can do is defend and hope to hold off Makarov's relentless assault.
However, as long as he keeps Makarov occupied here, his soldiers will eventually overwhelm Fairy Tail below! Even if he can't defeat Makarov, it won't matter once the rest of Fairy Tail is defeated.
"It seems you're determined..." Makarov takes a deep breath, his eyes turning cold as he realizes he can no longer afford to stalemate.
His body suddenly grows in size, and a golden light erupts from within.
"According to the trial procedure of Fairy Tail, I give you a three-second countdown to kneel, surrender, and repent..."
"Huh?" Jose is taken aback for a moment before breaking into laughter. "Are you insane, Makarov? Asking me to kneel and surrender? You're about to lose! Fairy Tail is finished, and Grimoire Heart will replace you as the strongest guild!"
Makarov, bathed in golden light, pays no heed to Jose's taunts. He stands tall, his hands clasped together, channeling a golden orb of light in his palms.
"Three, two... one!"
After the countdown, Makarov, seeing no sign of remorse from Jose, brings his hands together, merging the golden light into a single orb. "Then so be it..."
Buzz!!!
In the next instant, a dazzling beam of golden light pierces the sky!
A torrent of magical power surges from Makarov, radiating in all directions and encompassing the entire battlefield. It reaches far beyond, illuminating the mountains hundreds of miles away!
This is Ultra Magic.
In this world, Ultra Magic is rare, and even among the Ten Wizard Saints, not all possess command of such spells.
And the Ultra Magic Makarov wields is none other than the earliest magic created by the founding guild master, Mavis Vermilion—Fairy Law!
"What is this...?" Jose raises his arms to shield his eyes from the blinding golden light, his face betraying a hint of fear. He frantically gathers his magic power, summoning a magical barrier in a desperate attempt to withstand the onslaught.
In the dazzling light, Jose screamed as he felt his magical power being crushed and collapsing uncontrollably.
And he wasn't the only one.
Wherever the light of the law shone, the wizards of Fairy Tail were unharmed, while the Grimoire Soldiers that Jose had unleashed melted and disappeared one by one. Even the Grimoire Heart wizards were affected, their magical power crumbling, and they lost consciousness one after another.
Numerous wizards who had been fighting against Fairy Tail fell like wheat being mowed down, collapsing in waves under the golden light. In this moment, the golden light of the law was like the sun, illuminating the area for hundreds of miles around as if it were broad daylight!
As the light gradually faded.
Jose's figure had turned deathly pale, and he trembled uncontrollably, falling powerless from the sky and landing on the ground, unable to get up again.
The other Grimoire Heart wizards, as well as the wizards from Black Crow and Red Lizard, also collapsed to their knees or trembled and went limp, their magical power completely drained!
"Thi... This..."
Natsu and Gray were stunned as they took in the scene around them, and then they looked up at the sky, toward Makarov, who was slowly descending.
One attack! It took out all the enemies, including the master of Grimoire Heart!
"It's the Fairy Law, the Ultra Magic created by our first master... As expected of the master," Erza said, taking a deep breath as she slowly regained her composure and sheathed her sword, a slight smile appearing on her face.
Standing at a distance, Laxus scowled as he saw the master of Black Crow fall due to the aftershock of the law. He glanced at Makarov and scoffed, "Troublesome old man."
In mid-air, Makarov returned to his usual elderly appearance and landed gently on the ground. Looking at Jose, who was curled up and trembling, his magical power shattered, Makarov said indifferently, "From now on, you are not allowed to come near Fairy Tail again."
"... ..."
Jose trembled violently, unable to utter a single word. The law had completely crushed his magical power and drained him of all his strength.
After addressing Jose coldly, Makarov turned to call out to Erza and the others, intending to leave. He didn't plan to kill Jose; after all, it was just a war, and he could still argue their case before the Council. But if he completely wiped out Grimoire Heart, it would be a different story before the Council.
Seeing that the war was over, Erza and the others also put away their weapons and looked at Makarov, waiting for his further instructions.
However.
Just as Makarov was about to speak to Erza and the others, a sound suddenly came from behind them—the sound of applause, clear and distinct.
Clap! Clap! Clap!!
"So, that's the Ultra Magic created by your first master? It's quite impressive, taking out the three guilds in one blow."
Hearing this voice, Makarov's body stiffened, and he turned sharply toward the source of the sound. Emerging from the darkness, a figure was walking slowly toward them.
Just by walking, the magical power emanating from this person was like a mountain, instantly pressing down on the entire battlefield. Everyone, including Erza, felt their breath hitch!
"This magical power..."
Erza's face paled, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she stared at the approaching figure, her pupils constricting.
The others, including Mistgun and Laxus, also had constricted pupils, clearly sensing the terrifying magical power of the newcomer, like an abyss! Just the aura they felt was far beyond anything Jose could muster!
"Who is this guy...?"
Under the oppressive pressure, Gray struggled to move, his eyes wide as he looked at the stranger, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Amidst the oppressive atmosphere, Makarov stared intently at the newcomer, his expression turning grave and somber. He hadn't expected that there was someone else pulling the strings behind Jose!
As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov had met all the other saints except for the first saint, the Phoenix Priestess. And he was all too familiar with the person standing before him.
The second most powerful wizard in Ishgar, the leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar—the Heavenly God, Selene!
