Tenrou Island
At this moment, it was shrouded in a whole patch of dark clouds, with crackling lightning churning within them.
Some were drawn there by Laxus's lightning, while others were amplified by the rising heat from Natsu and Zancrow's battle.
The final part shows that Juvia, the Rain Woman, is now at the peak of her emotions, and the surrounding weather is being affected by her Magic Power. This demonstrates that someone who can be rated as S-Class Mage by Phantom Lord possesses considerable strength.
Shore
The Grimoire Heart, currently battling Laxus and Makarov — Guild Master Precht.
"How dare you still have the leisure to observe what's happening elsewhere when facing me and this old man!"
Laxus was covered in wounds, and even Makarov's Ten Wizard Saints outfit was tattered. The two of them had indeed intercepted Precht at the edge of the coastline.
We will not allow them to advance an inch.
However, Precht's formidable strength also caused them to suffer a considerable amount of attacks.
"Looks like I underestimated you! Even the Lost Magic of the Arc of the Great Tree Form couldn't break through S-Class Mage's defenses!"
"Macarot, I miscalculated this time!"
Precht stood not far away, watching Makarov and Laxus in front of him. He could also sense that the Fairy Tail Mages on the island were gradually dealing with the people he had brought.
Moreover, even among the Seven Kin, three have already been killed, and as for the Arc of the Great Tree Form, it seems he won't be able to complete the task he was ordered to do.
The tremors have completely ceased, and the towering Tenrou Tree in the distance is indeed standing perfectly intact. The burst of energy from there confirms that Azuma has been defeated.
At this moment, Precht's Magic Power surged even more violently.
Laxus, while keeping a close eye on Precht's every move, extended his Observation Haki into the clouds, intending to use all his remaining Magic Power to unleash that attack from the sky.
Mirajane's Battlefield
At this moment, Azuma was being lifted high by Mirajane, who was in the form of the Demon God Halphas. The tree roots beneath his feet had been torn off, and the trees, now free from his Magic Power control, were slowly losing their life force.
"Damn it, I couldn't dodge that attack at all!"
"Is this the true power of the Demon Mira?"
"Fairy Tail truly lives up to its reputation as the number one Fairy Tail in the entire Kingdom!!"
All that remained in Azuma's mind was the thought that he could still hold his own when he was in Satan Soul form.
He had originally planned to complete the orders given by the Guild Master first, even though he was unwilling, but an order is an order after all.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to make a move, the Demon Mira received an even more powerful demon. Mirajane, who was now facing him, was emanating a pressure that was beyond his ability to handle.
The demonic claws covered in blue scales tightened around Azuma's neck, making it harder for Azuma to breathe and causing his mind to become hazy.
"If you want to harm our Fairy Tail or their families, then your only fate will be destruction."
"Our true strength comes from our Beliefs and Bonds!!"
"Therefore, your defeat was inevitable!"
White light began to appear in Mirajane's hand, and as Mirajane whispered, an explosion suddenly rang out.
Azuma's figure also fell from the sky, but before losing consciousness, he looked at Mirajane on the tree branch and seemed to see her group of companions behind her.
This feeling and Belief of sacrificing everything for one's family is something he has never been able to obtain, and it has also made him realize that personal strength is not true strength, only the unity of family is true power.
The other battlefield
Gildarts and Bluenote also noticed the unusual activity on Tenrou Island and learned that yet another Seven Kin had fallen.
Bluenote was well aware of this, and he had originally thought that although Zancrow had failed, Azuma would surely execute the Guild Master's plan perfectly.
In this way, he could properly humiliate Gildarts, who was hailed by everyone as the strongest Mage. However, his wish vanished with Azuma's defeat.
"I'm sorry, I tried my best, after all, as the chief examiner, I can't lose my dignity in this area!"
"Those kids fought so spectacularly, their Magic was dazzling, it got my blood pumping!"
Gildarts caught Bluenote's powerful punch with a single grasp, completely ignoring the gravity that was gradually increasing every moment.
With a horizontal kick, Bluenote was sent flying backward, crashing into the mountainside and burying him.
The Gravity Field also disappeared.
"That's really good, Gildarts!"
"Let's show you our true abilities! Let's see who can fly higher!"
"Hahaha"
Bluenote pushed aside the stone slab, deciding the outcome with this move. He slightly clenched his hands, and a black gravity ball appeared in his palms.
The moment it appeared, everything around it trembled and flew toward the ever-growing supergravity sphere due to its powerful suction.
Gildarts's expression turned slightly serious. He flung his cloak behind him, stomped his feet hard on the ground to cover himself, and stretched out his hand towards the gravity ball in front of him.
"Not bad Magic, but it's still far from being as good as mine!"
"Snap~"
The supergravity sphere was instantly covered in cracks, and as Gildarts clenched his fist, it instantly transformed into countless Magic Power particles and dissipated into the air, much to Bluenote's astonishment.
"This... is impossible... how could the Magic break?"
This bizarre phenomenon was far beyond Bluenote's comprehension, leaving him utterly incredulous.
"Break Evil, Reveal Righteousness - One Day"
At this moment, Bluenote also successfully realized his long-cherished dream: to fly. At this moment, as his consciousness dissipated, he felt the sensation of looking down from the sky.
He remembered it deeply.
At this moment, only three of the Seven Kin remained: Ultear, Caprico (possessed by Zoldeo), Meredy.
A few minutes ago
At this moment Ultear and Meredy were standing face to face. Ultear's eyes were full of guilt, while Meredy's head was down, and her expression was not clear.
However, from their eyes, Meredy also knew that it was Ultear who destroyed her hometown.
"I'm sorry... although I know... I know I have no right to say such things..."
"But... I hope you can forget about both the Grimoire Heart and Zeref... After all, you have a bright future ahead of you!"
Ultear spoke haltingly, tears streaming down her face. Her heart ached terribly; she knew she too had made an unforgivable mistake, and no amount of amends could undo it.
But she truly hoped that Meredy could forget everything and start a new life.
"Hey, Ultear, is it really Ultear who destroyed my hometown?!"
Meredy lowered her head and asked in an unusually cold tone, which made Ultear pause.
Now, all that's left in Meredy's mind are the ruins of her hometown from her childhood, and the screams of the townspeople. She and her friends used to run through the ruins with expressions of terror on their faces.
My childhood friend also perished in an explosion; how can I forget something like that...?
