You Can't Lie to Your Own Magic!

"Fairy Law! Activate!"

Laxus let out its final Roar.

Boom--!

A massive golden magic circle instantly appeared above the church, covering the sky. It slowly rotated, emanating a sacred and majestic aura.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, resounding boom, like an ancient bell, echoed throughout Magnolia.

"DUANG!--"

A blindingly bright divine light descended from the sky, like a purifying solar storm, instantly engulfing Jiang Bai, the entire church, and even most of Magnolia Town.

The light lasted for quite a while before gradually fading away.

Laxus was panting heavily; releasing that Super Magic had almost drained all his mana.

"Ahem... Now, all those eyesores should be gone, right?"

He muttered to himself, his vision filled with white light.

He was about to fulfill his greatest wish, but he felt empty inside, without the slightest bit of joy he had imagined.

Suddenly, a familiar crimson light flashed across his blurred vision due to exhaustion.

Wow!

The next second, an unparalleled impact slammed into his chest.

"Ugh--!"

Laxus let out a scream, his entire body flying backward like a sandbag struck by a battering ram, from outside the church back inside.

With a deafening roar, he smashed the already crumbling wall to pieces and became deeply embedded in it.

Laxus coughed up blood and struggled to stand up, but he didn't have the strength to move a single finger.

He could only lie prone in the rubble, struggling to lift his head to look at the unharmed figure slowly walking towards him.

"Jiang Bai..."

His tone carried a hint of relief that he himself didn't realize, but more so, a despair that felt like falling into an ice cellar.

"You're actually... completely unharmed? Even the 'Fairy Laws' can't touch you?"

That was the most powerful Super Magic he had finally learned after several whole years.

But he learned how to do it and successfully released it, so why is Jiang Bai completely unharmed?

Could this guy's strength have become so great that he's even immune to 'Fairy Law'?

Just then, a familiar figure rushed to the scene; it was Erza.

Laxus was so shocked to see Erza unharmed that he forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He could barely understand why Jiang Bai was alright, but what right did Erza have?!

"Impossible!" he roared.

"My 'Fairy Law' is absolutely not something you can resist!"

Erza was taken aback by his shout, her face full of confusion. "Resist what? I didn't feel anything just now."

"At least... at least those bastards in the guild should be gone by now!" Laxus roared in frustration.

"No," Jiang Bai stopped and looked down at him.

"None of them have disappeared."

"This is impossible! My 'Fairy Law' is perfect!"

"Magic is indeed perfect." Jiang Bai's voice was calm.

"But Laxus, what makes you mistakenly believe that you truly consider us enemies?"

Upon hearing this, Laxus was struck dumb, but he still refused to admit it.

"What's the meaning?"

Jiang Bai looked at this guy who was still being stubborn even when he was about to die and shook his head.

"Laxus, what you inherited from the old man wasn't just immense magical power, but also a heart that always cared for your comrades."

"'The Fairy Law' only judges those whom the caster truly believes to be enemies deep in their heart. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Your own magic has long seen right through you; you cannot lie to your own magic."

"No!" Laxus Roar with her last ounce of strength, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Anyone who gets in my way is my enemy! And I haven't lost yet! I can fight again!"

Jiang Bai was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.

He flashed behind Laxus and delivered a swift and decisive chop to the back of his head.

Thump.

Laxus, already severely injured and exhausted of mana, didn't even utter a sound before his eyes rolled back and he completely passed out.

Jiang Bai used his Telekinesis to pull the unconscious Laxus to his side, and then walked up to Erza.

"Erza, let's go back. How is Grandpa?"

"The situation has stabilized, and the guild leader is currently recuperating at the guild."

Erza answered, glancing at the unconscious Laxus with a complicated expression.

Before she could ask, Jiang Bai said, "Let's put this guy next to Grandpa. When a grandson makes a mistake, it's always his grandfather who should discipline him."

Jiang Bai and Erza quickly returned to the guild.

The guild hall was no longer as noisy as before; everyone was gathered solemnly outside the first-floor ward.

Everyone was driven out of the ward by Grandma Porlyusica.

When they saw Jiang Bai using his Telekinesis to drag the unconscious Laxus in like a dead dog, everyone's expressions became incredibly complicated.

Seeing Laxus's bruised and battered appearance only reinforced their belief in one thing—they absolutely could not anger Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai ignored the stares of the crowd and walked straight to the corner of the wall.

There, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen, who had also been beaten beyond recognition, sat against the wall, dejected and not daring to lift their heads.

Jiang Bai walked over to Freed, looked at his face which was swollen like a pig's head, and casually said, "Elfman."

"Brother-in-law, I'm here."

Elfman, who was watching from the side, immediately responded.

"Go get a bottle of ointment and give it to these three so-called 'Thunder God Tribe'."

Jiang Bai's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"They haven't been expelled from the guild by the old man yet, so they're still considered members of the guild."

Upon hearing this, the three men, Freed had been looking down, suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Their expressions changed instantly, especially Freed, the proud man, whose eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

He struggled to his feet and bowed deeply to Jiang Bai.

"We want to wait here for the president to wake up. We will accept whatever the outcome of this matter! We are truly... truly sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Evergreen and Bickslow lowered their proud heads and apologized in unison.

"Sorry!"

Their sincere apology left the previously furious guild members at a loss for words.

After all, although the three of them, including Freed, idolized Laxus, they were all children who had grown up in the guild since childhood, and Makarov was like a father to them.

The president fainted and even became critically ill because of their foolish behavior, which made them feel endless shame and remorse.

The feeling was like that of a child who had done something wrong and broken the heart of their most beloved father, filled with helpless remorse.
