"What about Mystogan and Gildarts?"
George thought for a moment and asked.
Mirajane shook her head:
"I can't get in touch with Gildarts after he went to the Northern Continent. No one in Mystogan knows his whereabouts except the guild master."
However, MP Warrod has replied to me, saying that a meeting is being held on this matter, and once a conclusion is reached, someone will be sent over.
"Alright, as long as we hold on, it will all be over whether the chairman wakes up or the Magic Council arrives."
George nodded.
Although none of Laxus, Mystogan, and Gildarts will be able to return, there is still great hope.
If Phantom Lord had reacted any slower, the Magic Council's arrest might have happened first.
"Alzack and Bisca are back."
At this time, Alzack and Bisca, who had escorted Makarov to the East Forest, returned to the guild and reported on the situation with Makarov.
"Senior Porlyusica said that it is very serious for the president to suddenly lose his magic power at his age, but she has contacted Mystogan to help recover the president's lost magic power."
If all goes well, the president should recover by this afternoon.
"That's good news."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
They kept watch until noon, when everyone had just finished lunch and was resting when they were suddenly awakened by a loud noise outside.
Running out of the guild and looking out, one could see a huge castle, like an island, on the large lake to the south of the guild, being propelled by eight giant metal spider legs as it approached the guild.
And the symbol on the castle was none other than the symbol of the Phantom Lord.
"Everyone, get ready! Activate all True Magic armor and all Runic Barrier!"
Although shocked by the Phantom Lord's Mobile Castle, George used Amplification Spell to bring everyone back to their senses, and they carried out the defense plan in an orderly manner.
Layer upon layer of Runic Barrier were stacked on top of the guild, and True Magic armor was also erected in front of the guild after True Magic power was inputted.
Upon reaching the guild, the Mobile Castle on the opposite side immediately stopped and anchored itself at the bottom of the lake, extending a massive cannon and beginning to gather terrifying magical power.
"That Phantom Lord is really rich!"
Looking at the Mobile Castle and the huge Magic Crystal Cannon opposite him, George couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Just imagine how Shanghai money it must have cost to build this Mobile Castle equipped with a Magic Crystal Cannon.
"Strengthen the defenses!"
Fortunately, George had considered the current situation and issued a second order.
In addition to the existing defensive Runic Barrier and True Magic artifacts, the mages who possessed defensive True Magic also began to take action.
First, Gray used Ice-Make to create a huge ice shield, and then wooden walls, Earth Wall, and other structures were erected.
Finally, Erza summoned her strongest defensive armor Adamantite Armor, and activated the Adamant Shield as her last line of defense.
"Boom!"
Once the opposing True Magic was fully charged, an extremely terrifying beam of pure magical energy shot towards Fairy Tail's guild, intending to kill the guild and all its mages instantly.
"This Magic Crystal Cannon is really monstrous."
George watched as the beam of energy first shattered all the Runic Barrier, then pierced through all the defenses made of True Magic artifacts, blasting apart ice shields, wooden walls, Earth Wall, and other types of defenses.
In the end, at least half of the energy remained and struck Erza's giant shield.
The key point is that even with half the energy gone, Erza's giant shield still started to crack.
"Reparo!"
Standing behind Erza, he immediately raised his wand and cast Reparo.
Under the effect of the Reparo, the cracks that had just appeared on the giant shield immediately returned to their original state. Then cracks gradually appeared again, and were repaired again. After several repetitions, when the magic energy cannon was exhausted, Erza had neither consumed any magic power nor had her armor become completely intact.
"That cat again!"
Jose, inside the Mobile Castle, was furious when he saw that the first shot had no effect whatsoever, and he stood up from his seat.
The fact that all the branches were attacked without warning and that all the mages in the branches were wiped out and unable to come to help has already infuriated him.
Surprisingly, even after painstakingly modifying the Four Elements into a three-element plus Iron Dragon mode, the Magic Crystal Cannon still failed to achieve the desired effect.
"In that case, I'll send you all to hell."
It takes fifteen minutes to charge a Magic Crystal Cannon, so he planned to give the other party a small gift during the charging period.
"Dark Phantom Soldiers!"
A dense Magic Circle appeared around him, and countless ghostly soldiers flew out from the Magic Circle, attacking the mages of the Fairy Tail guild.
With the attack of the ghost soldiers, the Fairy Tail mages were unable to form a defense in time, and the next Magic Crystal Cannon could completely destroy Fairy Tail.
"We can't be this passive, Natsu, come here, let's work together to destroy that Magic Crystal Cannon!"
As a large number of ghost soldiers approached, the Magic Crystal Cannon entered the charging phase, and George called over Natsu, who had been eager to fight.
"The core of the Magic Crystal Cannon is the mage who powers it. Without defeating the mage who powers it, it is difficult to destroy the Magic Crystal Cannon."
At this moment, Mirajane explained with a worried expression.
George nodded:
"I know, but my method might be able to forcibly destroy the Magic Crystal Cannon, or even the entire Mobile Castle."
With a wave of his wand, blue Fiendfyre reappeared, but this time it wasn't aimed directly at Phantom Lord's Mobile Castle, but at Natsu.
This is not Oak Town, where Phantom Lord is located, but Magnolia City, where Fairy Tail is located.
The Fiendfyre was uncontrollable; if released directly, it might burn Fairy Tail Guild and Magnolia City before even destroying the enemy's Magic Crystal Cannon and Mobile Castle.
So his goal was simple: to feed the cursed and special Fiendfyre Natsu, the Fire Dragon Slayer Mage who could devour and utilize all kinds of flames, so that Natsu could unleash it.
He had already tried Natsu out on his own while everyone was preparing their defenses, and it worked very well.
After absorbing Fiendfyre, Natsu not only gains a surge in magic power for a short period, but the flames he unleashes with his own techniques also acquire the Fiendfyre attribute and are completely under his control.
"Hahaha, the power is surging up!"
With George constantly channeling his Fiendfyre into Natsu, the magical power within his body continued to rise, and he became increasingly excited.
"First, let's get rid of those ghost soldiers."
Seeing that the ghost soldiers had already flown over the guild, George temporarily stopped pouring out Fiendfyre and gave Natsu an order.
Jose's ghost soldiers have no physical form and possess dark death attributes, making them difficult for ordinary mages to deal with. His Fiendfyre, on the other hand, has a cursed nature, which can effectively counter it to some extent.
"Fire Dragon Slayer Magic: Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu took a deep breath, put his hands to his mouth, and a blue flame Magic Circle appeared. He then spewed out a terrifying, overwhelming blue flame.
