Magic Crystal That Boosts Meditation Efficiency (Second Update)
Erza is not like Natsu or Gajeel; she doesn't have the magic resistance of Dragon Slayer Magic. Caught off guard, she was hit by George's Stunning Spell and immediately passed out.
"Juvia, take Erza with you, let's get out of here. The Magic of the Spirit can only be used for about five minutes."
Sending Erza to fight Jellal is clearly not a wise decision.
Leading everyone to fight Jellal to the death would also be unwise.
Jellal is able to command S-Class mages as strong as Ikaruga, so his strength is extremely powerful, and he might even be a Saint Rank mage.
Moreover, it's clear that the other side has been brewing some huge conspiracy along the way.
If you have no idea what's going on and there's the threat of Magic of the Spirit, it would be foolish to continue following their script.
First, leave the Tower of Paradise and get out of the range of the Magic of the Spirit's attack, then wait and see what happens next.
If Jellal and the Tower of Paradise were blasted into thin air by the Magic of the Spirit, that would naturally be a happy ending for everyone.
If not, they will adapt to the situation as it arises. If they can win, they will fight; if they can't, they will run. The kingdom has so many Magic Guild, so many powerful Mage, and quite a few Ten Wizard Saints. If anything happens, the tall ones will take care of it.
There was no need to throw away one's life in vain.
He doesn't like to fight battles he's not confident of winning.
If Jellal truly needs Erza's body as a vessel for Zeref's resurrection, then leaving the Tower of Paradise to chase after them is better than fighting outside the Tower of Paradise.
At least the opponent lost their home-field advantage, and they also lost the threat of Magic of the Spirit.
George took out the box, which he had expanded with the Untraceable Extension Charm, and put Erza and the others into it. Then Apparition directly to the sea outside the island.
Meanwhile, Lucy and Simon, along with Erza's two childhood friends Wally and Millyana, left the tower and sailed out to sea in a small boat.
"Reparo!"
Reparo was cast on a kingdom ship that had been destroyed by True Magic at sea, and soon a brand new ship appeared on the sea.
After releasing Erza and the others, and picking up Lucy and the others, George lifted the Stunning Spell on Erza, and the group stood on the deck looking towards the Tower of Paradise.
"Erza, there's less than a minute until the Magic of the Spirit is launched. Let's watch from here."
Jellal.
Once Erza regained consciousness, she knew that even if she went there now, she wouldn't make it in time, so she could only sigh silently.
Meanwhile, Jellal, on the top floor of the Tower of Paradise, flicked all the chess pieces off the table and got up to go to the window.
"Forget it, I'll deal with you guys after the Tower of Paradise is completely finished."
To fully complete the R System, an enormous amount of magical power would be required, something even he, as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, could not accomplish. He could only rely on the Magic of the Spirit, the ultimate weapon of the Magic Council.
So a few years ago, he separated half of his magic power to condense Thought Body, and under the alias "Zikrain," he joined the Magic Council Headquarters, becoming one of its members with the strength of one of the Ten Wizard Saints Magic Council Headquarters Saints.
The Thought Body proposed at the Magic Council to use the Magic of the Spirit to prevent Zeref's resurrection, precisely so that the Tower of Paradise could absorb the 2.7 billion conceptual magic power emitted by the Magic of the Spirit.
He could then use Erza's body, an S-Class Mage, to revive Zeref.
He originally planned to wait for Erza to come to him on her own, and then start reviving Zeref once the R System was fully completed.
The plan has changed, but it won't have a big impact. Once the R System is fully completed, he will retrieve his Thought Body from the Magic Council, restore his full strength, and personally go to capture Erza.
"What terrifying magic!"
George and everyone on the ship were horrified as they watched several huge golden Magic Circle suddenly appear above the Tower of Paradise.
They had all heard of the Magic Council's ultimate destructive True Magic, the Magic of the Spirit, but this was the first time they had seen it in person.
Faced with the enormous satellite True Magic in the sky, and the 2.7 billion conceptual magical powers gathered there, everyone felt their own insignificance.
"Boom!"
A golden beam of light, almost tangible, erupted from the massive golden Magic Circle and slammed directly into the Tower of Paradise.
In an instant, the entire sky was enveloped in white light, and everyone involuntarily closed their eyes.
"How so!"
However, after the white light that illuminated the entire world faded, the Tower of Paradise did not disappear; instead, it transformed into a gigantic True Magic Crystal, hundreds of meters tall.
"There was definitely a problem."
George looked at the True Magic Crystal tower filled with magic, but his face did not show much surprise.
When he realized that Jellal hadn't chased after him, and that Jellal hadn't left the Tower of Paradise when the Magic of the Spirit was released, he knew that the Magic Council's plan might fail.
Jellal must have a way to neutralize the attack of the Magic of the Spirit.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be foolish enough to wait to die inside the Tower of Paradise.
"So that's how it is. His Tower of Paradise was never completed. He needed the magic Magic of the Spirit to fully build the Tower of Paradise!"
At this moment, Erza also realized what was happening.
She was once a slave who built the Tower of Paradise, so she wasn't completely ignorant about Tower of Paradise.
The reason why the Black Mage group built eight towers at the same time eight years ago was to better collect magic power and then activate the R System.
However, Jellal only built one, so how can he claim to have completed the R System?
She had also reached a dead end before, not thinking in this direction, and always thinking about going to the top floor to find Jellal and settle everything.
Now that I see the True Magic Crystal Tower, I finally understand.
"So now the R System is finally complete."
After hearing Erza's explanation, everyone finally understood Jellal's true purpose.
"Such a large Magic Crystal, if used for meditation, wouldn't the magic power level increase rapidly!"
George's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he looked at the immense magical power emanating from the Magic Crystal.
The meditation technique he learned in the Sorcerer's Apprentice world was actually about absorbing external power through mental energy, converting it into magic power, and storing it in his body to improve his Mage level.
This is somewhat similar to the cultivation of immortality in mythology.
Once your magic level exceeds 500, you can basically live forever.
Both Merlin's Ring and Morgana's Ring can gather the surrounding power, making meditation faster. The higher the concentration of the surrounding power, the greater the efficiency of meditation will be.
If he could meditate on the Morgana's Ring inside this True Magic Crystal tower, his meditation efficiency might increase tenfold.
So at this moment he had decided that no matter how strong Jellal was, he had to defeat him today and take the True Magic Crystal tower for himself.
Fortunately, his team is also quite strong. Besides himself, there's Erza, a top-tier S-Class, Natsu, Gray, and Juvia, all S-Class, and Lucy, who can summon S-Class Aspects to help in battle on the high Lucy.
