George and Mirajane did not participate in the battle. After explaining to Makarov how to defeat Gajeel, he was assigned to guard the unconscious Gajeel with Mirajane.
Gajeel is the evidence that Phantom Lord launched the attack on Fairy Tail. We can't let Phantom Lord take it back, otherwise the Magic Council later.
Of course, Lucy and Happy were also there.
Lucy is Celestial Spirit Mage; her combat involves summoning Aspects to fight, and she has no offensive power of her own.
Moreover, because most of her Aspects are quite individualistic and don't like to follow her commands in battle, they prefer to act independently.
So usually, after she summons Aspects, she consciously hides behind and cheers.
Happy is even worse; aside from assisting Natsu in flying, his attack power is not as good as Lucy's when she's unarmed.
"Beat him up! Beat him up!"
"Well done, Natsu!"
"Keep it up, everyone, and stay safe!"
As the Phantom Lord mages were defeated one by one, Mirajane, Lucy, and Happy joined in to create a lively atmosphere.
"Erza, Natsu, and Gray, keep up with the guild master, don't let him go up alone!"
At this moment, George is analyzing the effects of the battle to determine which mage's True Magic he should prioritize learning later.
Seeing Makarov slap away the Phantom Lord Mage blocking his way and then walk straight up the stairs to the second floor, he quickly shouted to Erza and the other two who were already having a blast fighting.
So far, none of the Phantom Lord's leader Jose or the Four Element Users shown up, and they are most likely all on the second floor.
Makarov is indeed strong, but the Phantom Lord Guild Master is also Ten Wizard Saints. If the Phantom Lord Guild Master is shameless and joins forces with the Four Element Users gang up on Makarov he goes up, then it will be dangerous.
If Makarov were to be defeated due to being ganged up on, the balance of power would shift, and Fairy Tail would no longer have the upper hand.
It's best not to be too reckless in these guild wars.
After all, Phantom Lord has four S-Class Mages, while Fairy Tail only has Erza as an S-Class mage today, and Mirajane is unable to fight due to psychological issues.
Although Natsu and Gray are quite strong, they are not S-Class yet.
He discovered that the Fairy Tail mages were good at everything, except that they were prone to getting carried away in battle, which often led to the situation getting out of control and causing large-scale unnecessary destruction and losses.
Moreover, George realized that the president, who usually seemed mature and composed, was actually the most reckless one inside.
Normally, following his line of thinking, he could have handed Gajeel over to the Magic Council first, allowing the Magic Council to deal with Phantom Lord, or at the very least, recalled the S-Class Mystogan and Laxus.
This way, there are at least three S-Class, instantly leveling the gap between top-tier fighters.
However, since Makarov dared to come to our door like this, he must have some confidence. He estimated that Makarov's strength was much greater than Jose's, enough to close the gap between top-level combatants.
Anyway, it's impossible for him to be there. He doesn't have the strength of S-Class Mage. He has already told Makarov why he defeated Gajeel.
Because George used Amplification Spell when he shouted, the sound was very loud, and Erza, Natsu, Gray were immediately brought back to normal. The three of them then headed straight for the guild master.
"Let's go take a look too."
Seeing Erza and the others chase after them, George also controlled Gajeel to lead Mirajane, Lucy, and Happy to follow.
The battles below shouldn't be a problem; winning is just a matter of time. The main focus is on the battles above.
Actually, the battle above is the key to determining the outcome of this guild war. If Makarov wins, then Fairy Tail wins; if he loses, then winning the battle below is useless.
A Ten Wizard Saints mage is enough to Cleansweep all the mages below.
"Jose, I need an explanation from you, or I'll make you suffer the same way you did six years ago!"
As soon as George reached the second floor, he heard Makarov's angry roar.
At this moment, the second floor is in a four-on-four situation: Chairman Makarov vs. Jose, Erza vs. Thor, Natsu vs. Totomaru, and Gray vs. Juvia.
"Huh, one's missing. Is he not in the guild?"
He glanced around the second-floor lobby and noticed that Aria, the leader of the Four Elements, was not there.
"What a piece of trash, you actually got captured alive. And I admired you so much."
Jose glanced at Gajeel, who was being controlled by George, and immediately understood what was going on. He turned to Makarov and said:
"No explanation needed, Makarov. You thought you were really stronger than me just because you luckily beat me six years ago?"
Today I will not only kill you, but also all the mages of Fairy Tail, so that the Fairy Tail guild will be completely wiped out from this world.
Let everyone know that we, the Phantom Lord, are the strongest Mage Guild!
"Since that's how it is, then die!"
Makarov's Riot Games instantly grew larger, and then he slammed it towards Jose.
That immense power seemed capable of shattering a mountain.
"Such attacks cannot harm me."
Faced with Makarov's powerful attack, which could knock out an S-Class Mage, Jose revealed a cold smile and actually condensed the almost tangible magical power on the surface of his body into a Riot Games to meet the punch.
Makarov was not surprised that Jose was able to block his attack; he knew Jose's strength very well.
"Let's go up there and fight, if you don't want your guild to be completely destroyed!"
As he spoke, he punched through the top of the guild and then used his powerful magic to levitate himself into the air above the guild.
At their level, even without learning Flight Magic, it's not a big problem to use magic to levitate.
However, Makarov was unwilling to fight Jose in the guild, not because he was worried about damaging the Phantom Lord guild, which was none of his business.
His concern was that the power of their battle was too great, and that fighting on the second floor might affect the mages on the first floor.
Jose revealed a strange smile upon hearing this. He did not refuse and used his magic to levitate and float up as well.
"I knew you'd do this."
In fact, he had already guessed that Makarov would propose a final battle in the air for the safety of the Fairy Tail mages below.
So Aria was secretly positioned above the guild beforehand.
"Boom!"
The two Ten Wizard Saints ascended into the air and confronted each other. Before they even began to cast True Magic, the mere clash of their magical powers caused changes in the weather above the city, with lightning and thunder constantly resounding.
If an ordinary mage were standing nearby at this moment, they would probably be unable to move due to the mere suppression of magic power.
"Is this Ten Wizard Saints is like?"
George, looking down at the two presidents above, was also quite shocked.
He thought Erza was already very strong, but he didn't expect the Ten Wizard Saints to be even more exaggerated.
"Dark Beam!"
Jose, skilled in dark death True Magic, launched the first attack, his powerful Dark Energy transforming into countless beams that struck Makarov directly.
"Light Array!"
One by one, Light Magic circles lit up, and equally terrifying light energy burst out from the Magic Circle.
Makarov's Light Magic is no less powerful than Jose's dark death True Magic.
"Death Storm!"
"Light Burst!"
Dark death True Magic and Light Magic collided in the sky above the city, and the mere aftershocks of the True Magic caused all the buildings below to tremble.
The residents of all the cities were awakened from their sleep and, upon discovering that it seemed to be Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord fighting, immediately fled out of the city.
