Fairy Law
Jose's words were nothing more than a delaying tactic.
As he spoke, he frantically squeezed out the last vestiges of magic power within him, attempting a final desperate gamble.
He knew very well that once he was brought to the Magic Council, he would spend the rest of his life in a dark and sunless prison.
Since we're going to die anyway, why not take the entire Fairy Tail with us and go crazy for once?!
A more evil and chaotic magic erupted from Jose's body; he intended to sacrifice his entire life and soul!
A chilling killing intent flashed in Makarov's cloudy old eyes.
He can tolerate competition between guilds, and he can tolerate provocations against him, but he absolutely cannot tolerate anyone trying to hurt his children again and again!
"You brat, go back."
Makarov's voice was eerily calm.
"Leave this to me."
Jiang Bai shrugged, and in a flash, he appeared beside Mirajane and Lucy.
"Isn't it already over?"
Mirajane looked at the two men facing off again in the distance and asked worriedly,
Why isn't the president back yet?
"That guy named Jose hasn't given up yet,"
Jiang Bai explained leisurely,
"Therefore, the old man intends to personally teach him one last lesson."
After saying that, he turned his head and gave Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, who were looking at him with curiosity, a mysterious smile.
"Watch closely, everyone. The old man's next move will be so spectacular that none of you will be able to open your eyes."
"Really?!"
How handsome?
Natsu and Lucy's curiosity was instantly piqued, and sure enough, they stared wide-eyed at the distant battlefield, not wanting to miss a single detail.
High in the sky, Makarov's body began to glow with a holy golden light.
He spread his arms, assuming the posture of activating an ancient spell, and a solemn magic circle slowly unfolded beneath his feet.
One of Fairy Tail's three Super Magic: Fairy Law.
Jose,
Makarov's voice, like a divine judgment, echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
"According to Fairy Tail's usual practice, I'll give you three seconds to consider whether you're willing to admit your mistake and atone for your sins."
Makarov slowly raised his hand and began to count down.
"Three!"
Stop playing tricks!
Jose frantically gathered his last bit of magic power, his face contorted with madness.
Who do you think you are?!
"Two!"
"I am Ten Wizard Saints! I would never bow down to an old man like you!"
"One!"
"Die, Makarov! Dark Devour!"
Jose transformed all his life force into a dark vortex capable of devouring all light, and blasted it towards Makarov!
Makarov's eyes remained expressionless; he simply clasped his hands together gently.
"Fairy Law... Activate!"
The next second, the whole world went silent.
An indescribable, dazzling golden light instantly enveloped the battlefield, centered on Makarov.
That holy light only casts judgment upon those whom the caster deems "enemies."
Jose, along with his overconfident dark magic, melted away like ice and snow the moment he came into contact with the light.
It vanished without a trace, leaving not even the slightest trace of its existence.
Meanwhile, at the same moment the golden light burst forth...
"Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"
"It's so bright! I can't see anything!"
Natsu and Lucy rolled around on the ground, clutching their eyes, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably.
The moment the light appeared, Jiang Bai quickly covered Mirajane's eyes beside him and closed his own eyes as well.
After the light faded, he looked at the two people and the cat groaning on the ground and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha! What do you think? I wasn't lying, was I? Isn't he so handsome you can't open your eyes?"
"Waaaah... my eyes are so sore..."
Lucy, with tears streaming down her face, said in a pitiful tone.
"That damned Jiang Bai!!"
Natsu let out an angry Roar.
"Ai!"
Happy rubbed his eyes too.
"Jiang Bai, you big bad guy! How could you lie to us too!"
Mirajane leaned against Jiang Bai, removed his hand, and looked at the disheveled Natsu, a sly smile playing on her lips, "Xiao Bai, how could you treat Lucy and the others like this? Next time, just deal with Natsu."
Clearly, Mirajane still harbors a grudge against Natsu for ruining her date with Jiang Bai.
With Jose's complete defeat and death, the remaining Phantom Lord members who still wanted to resist also completely lost their will to fight.
"The... the president... he's dead..."
"How could this happen? What should we do next?"
A sense of despair spread among them.
Just then, the army of the Magic Council finally appeared in the distance.
These bureaucrats always arrived late, after the battle was over.
The Magic Council's soldiers handcuffed all the members of the Phantom Lord with magic-suppressing handcuffs, preparing to take them away.
Although Fairy Tail was the victim and wasn't handcuffed, as a major participant in this large-scale guild war, they were also required to go to the Magic Council for questioning.
Magic Council Headquarters, Era.
This building, which symbolizes the highest power in the magical world of the Kingdom of Fiore, is shrouded in an unprecedentedly solemn atmosphere today.
The Rune Knights are conducting an intensive investigation into the all-out war between the two major guilds, Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord.
In the interrogation room, mages from the two guilds were questioned separately.
To the judges' surprise, the investigation went exceptionally smoothly.
The captured Phantom Lord members, having witnessed Fairy Tail's unreasonable power and unity, especially after their leader Jose was judged and reduced to ashes by "Fairy Law," had their psychological defenses completely collapsed.
They didn't hide anything and recounted everything in detail.
From the guild accepting Lucy's father's commission to attacking Levy's party, and then to actively provoking the war, all the testimonies completely match Fairy Tail's account, and are even more detailed.
The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive.
It was the Phantom Lord unilaterally and without reason instigated this war.
Soon, all members of Fairy Tail were acquitted.
