"The Grand Magic Games, [Sky Labyrinth] is now beginning!" As the Pumpkin host's excited voice rang out, several staircases instantly rose in front of each hotel.
Multicolored Magic light streaked across the sky like shooting stars, illuminating the entire square.
"Yoshi, let's go!" Natsu shouted excitedly, and just as he was about to step onto the stairs, a strange light suddenly emanated from their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, they felt an indescribable lightness wash over them.
"This feeling..." Gajeel stared wide-eyed at the strange changes taking place within himself.
"Oh, it's Wendy!" Elfman turned around in surprise, his face beaming with Pleasure.
"It's so great that I could help you all!" Wendy felt a surge of satisfaction and joy as she looked at her friends' delighted expressions.
At that moment, Erza quickly donned her magnificent Heaven's Wheel Armor, walked up to the group of boys, and said with a firm and confident gaze, "Although we're not in the same team, we're always members of the Fairy Tail family! Now is the time for us to unite against a common enemy!"
Upon hearing Erza's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
They knew that this Grand Magic Games would not only test individual strength, but also require teamwork and tacit understanding.
Only by working together can we defend the Fairy Tail's honor.
Amidst the excited atmosphere, the Fairy Tail crew sped off, with Laxus and Erza leading the way.
"Hey, we can already see the maze entrance!" Gray suddenly exclaimed.
"Haha, no, it's the entrance to the Fiore Kingdom!"
Fairy Tail, number one!
Natsu shouted excitedly as soon as he saw the entrance.
A flash of light, and the group rushed into the maze at incredible speed.
"Come on, everyone!" Carla, Happy, Ximi, Tami, and Lily, the cats, were cheering everyone on from the balcony.
After entering the maze.
Several large screens suddenly appeared in the sky outside, displaying the real-time situation of each team.
After seeing Fairy Tail enter the maze first, the other teams all sped up their sprint.
Sabertooth
"Wow, Fairy Tail is really fast! That must be the power of love~" Richard followed closely behind.
Her eyes sparkled with a heart-shaped light filled with envy.
Minerva, however, kept running while turning back to coldly warn, "Richard, don't forget, once we're inside the maze, we must stick to the original plan!"
Richard waved his hand dismissively and replied with a grin, "Don't worry, how could I forget! I know very well that this is just a game!"
Seeing this, Minerva gave Richard, Cobra, Runa a deep look.
But because of her Guild Master's assurance, she had no choice but to trust him.
He still whispered the order, "Speed up!" And so, the entire team's speed increased once again.
Lamia Scale
Everyone also noticed Fairy Tail's performance ahead.
Jura, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, nodded with a smile and praised, "It seems that Fairy Tail truly deserves its reputation as the number one Fairy Tail! The strength they have displayed is indeed not to be underestimated."
Lyon was well aware of this, especially when he saw Gray's astonishing speed and how his feet seemed to swiftly tread through the air, which made him feel serious.
He then roared, "That Gray guy... he'll definitely win for our Fairy Tail! Juvia is mine!"
His words revealed a sense of tension.
In his mind, only by defeating Gray could he be sure of winning Juvia's heart.
"Juvia?" Sherria, standing beside her, tilted her head in confusion.
"Yoshi, haha, then our Fairy Tail can't fall behind!" Jura laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and the stairs below instantly accelerated under his command, speeding towards the maze.
Mermaid Heel
"Everyone, get ready! We need to speed things up!" Kagura gripped the hilt of her sword, and an invisible gravity enveloped the girls behind her.
The girls nodded, indicating they were ready.
"Gravity Counter! Go!" With a soft shout, he also sped towards the maze entrance.
Other Fairy Tail also used their own unique methods to accelerate their progress.
Off the field, Zorn reunited with August and the Fairy Tail crew.
No one was worried at all.
"Great! Natsu and his sister have successfully entered the dungeon!"
Lisanna hugged Carla tightly with great joy, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Éclair, this adventure looks so much fun! Don't you think so!" Mengmeng flew up lightly and landed steadily above Éclair's head, shouting with joy.
"Yes, that's true! But..." Éclair gazed at the huge screen in mid-air and nodded slightly in agreement.
However, her gaze was soon drawn to Kinana beside her.
Kinana was intently watching the screen, especially Erik, the Poison Dragon Slayer who was following closely behind the Saber-Toothed Tiger Fairy Tail, as if she was trying to confirm some important information.
At this moment, everyone gathered together, their eyes glued to the screen displaying the diverse and hilarious situations of the various teams, watching with great interest and enjoyment.
Top floor, rooftop.
"Zorn, you're finally back!" Makarov keenly sensed Zorn's Magic Power fluctuations and immediately turned around, ready to give him a good scolding.
But just then, his attention was suddenly drawn to August beside him.
A strange and mysterious Magic Power emanated from the other party, an energy that belonged neither to the realm of light nor to the realm of darkness.
Startled, he immediately focused his mind and unleashed all his senses.
As his perception deepened, his expression grew increasingly serious and solemn. He suddenly stood up and blurted out, "This is...?"
"Grandpa Guild Master, please calm down. This person is no ordinary individual. Don't worry, he won't be hostile towards our Fairy Tail."
Seeing this, Zorn quickly went over and gently helped the old man back to his seat, offering words of comfort.
Upon hearing this, the First Master Mavis slowly stood up from his chair.
At this moment, as she gazed at August, who had appeared before her, her body trembled slightly involuntarily, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Her voice was slightly choked with emotion. "Zorn, could this be...?" She seemed unable to believe her eyes and desperately wanted to get a positive answer from Zorn.
No mother would fail to recognize her own child.
Zorn nodded silently, confirming directly to Mavis, "Yes, that's right, the First Master. This is your... child." He, too, had not expected August to appear here at this moment.
As planned, after this match, Guild Master Mavis would then accompany him towards the Alvarez Empire.
But it's just perfect timing. I never expected to meet at this time. Perhaps it was all destined by fate to reunite mother and son as soon as possible.
"That place is..."
August pondered to himself, while also sensing a strange aura around Zorn... That inexplicable sense of familiarity made him suspicious, yet he dared not make a hasty judgment, after all, that figure had long since left him.
However, at that moment, his body trembled violently, as if he had been frozen in place by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, a soft, warm touch came from my cheek, like a spring breeze.
Staring in astonishment, he saw the figure of a young girl suddenly appear before him.
Tears streamed down her face, and she gently stroked her cheeks, overwhelmed with Pleasure.
"Ka... san!" August's voice trembled with disbelief as he murmured.
This name was like a key, instantly unlocking the door to his long-closed memories, and those buried deep in his heart surged up like a tide.
The girl before him overlapped with the mother in his memory, making him feel as if he were in a dream.
