Thunder Giant Absorbing the Thunderstorm (Second Update)

"It really is Celestial Magic!"

George's lips twitched as he watched the massive meteorite fall from the sky.

"Come over here, everyone."

With a meteorite that big, it's obvious that even if they joined forces to defend against it, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it.

Since we can't stop it, we can only dodge it.

Upon hearing George's Mind Stone message, everyone, including Lucy and the others, gathered around George.

"Natsu, use Blazing Flame!"

"The flames in the left hand and the flames in the right hand, the two flames combined into one, the Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"

He fused his own flames with the absorbed Fiendfyre, and a massive blazing flame shot upwards to meet the meteorite head-on.

Taking this opportunity, George reached out and touched the ice below.

"Mirror World!"

The hard ice surface immediately rippled, and everyone simultaneously fell into Mirror World that was the opposite of reality.

What's going on?

As they watched the meteorite shatter the blazing flames outside and continue hurtling towards them, yet after the enormous tsunami, it had no effect on them whatsoever, Lucy and the others all looked bewildered.

"This is my Mirror Magic. It allows me to temporarily hide in another Mirror World, where I won't be affected by the outside world."

George offered an explanation.

Hugh over there said:

"It's a spatial True Magic, very similar to my True Magic."

Hugh's True Magic is that he can create a space within a playing card and then collect enemies into that space.

The playing card space is very similar to this Mirror Space, except that it is not as large as the Mirror World.

"Jellal is proficient in all kinds of True Magic and is also very sensitive to space. He will find this place soon."

Simon looked at the still-suppressing tsunami outside:

"Let's leave here first; we're no match for Jellal."

"No, if Jellal were to revive Zeref, it would be a catastrophe for the entire world."

Erza looked at George:

"George, you send them away first. I'll stay here and try to ambush Jellal and see if I can kill him."

"I'm not leaving."

"I'm not leaving either."

"If Lord Gray doesn't leave, I won't leave either."

Natsu and Gray, clearly unwilling to Erza risk her life alone, decided to stay and continue fighting Jellal to the very end.

George thought for a moment and rearranged the battle plan.

"That level of True Magic just now must have consumed a lot of his magic power."

I have a very powerful True Magic that might be able to defeat him, but I need time to prepare.

He didn't want to give up such a large piece of Magic Crystal either.

How long will it take?

"Erza asked."

"It will take at least seven minutes."

George did the math.

His ultimate move is naturally that Ancient Magic that takes a very long time to execute.

With the power of this world's wand, the thunderstorms he unleashed were far more powerful than those in Marvel's Asgard.

Of course, this Thunderstorm Magic alone wouldn't be enough to defeat Jellal, so he had a new idea.

If it succeeds, then the chances of success are pretty much guaranteed.

If they failed, he would no longer covet the Magic Crystal and would immediately Apparition with everyone, prioritizing their lives.

"Don't worry, we will definitely buy you enough time."

Erza changed back into her breast wrap, wielding two Daoist Swords, determined that even if she died, she would delay the inevitable for seven minutes.

"There's True Magic Crystal on the island; it will make him hesitate to act rashly."

George led the group and quickly flew towards the island in the Mirror World.

Fighting on that small island, at least Jellal wouldn't be able to unleash True Magic of the level of Star Collapse, otherwise it would destroy the True Magic Crystal as well.

Outside, standing on the Celestial Magic circle, Jellal frowned as he watched the magical aura of everyone who had vanished without a trace after the tsunami subsided.

"They shouldn't all be dead."

His Celestial Magic was indeed very powerful; he could understand why ordinary small fry were simply purified into air.

However, even someone like Erza, who is an S-Class and possesses the extremely defensive Adamantite Armor, would at most suffer severe injuries and be on the verge of death.

As one of the Magic Council members, he had all the information about the guild war that happened in Fairy Tail some time ago, and he knew the strength of the group below, so they couldn't have been killed so easily.

"Looks like you've gone into hiding. Let me see where you're hiding."

With two Magic Circle appearing in his eyes, Jellal began to examine the space around him.

His first True Magic teacher was Brann, who served as the director of the Magic Development Bureau in his early years and was proficient in all kinds of True Magic.

He was also a natural-born genius at learning True Magic, and could learn most True Magic almost instantly.

Therefore, in addition to powerful Celestial Magic, he also learned many other types of True Magic with various auxiliary functions.

This type of detection True Magic is one of them.

"Found it. It turns out it went into another dimension to hide."

In less than two minutes, Jellal had already found the spatial flaw in the True Magic of the Mirror World. He raised his hand and cast a spatial True Magic, forcibly opening the spatial point connecting to the Mirror World, and plunged into it.

In the Mirror World, he quickly sensed the presence of Erza and the others and flew towards the island.

"This guy actually got in."

On the island, sensing Jellal's presence entering the Mirror World, George led everyone back to the Real World through the mirror of the Magic Crystal.

Simon just said that Jellal was able to enter the Mirror World, which didn't surprise him much.

Although they are True Magic from different worlds, the essence of True Magic is similar.

Ikaruga can use his sword to cut through space and attack Erza, who is locked in the card space. Erza can also cut through space to escape the card's seal, which shows that in this world, space True Magic is not unbreakable.

It's not surprising that someone as powerful and proficient in multiple forms of True Magic as Jellal could see through the Mirror Space and break in.

True Magic like Mirror Space is best suited for dealing with reckless mages like Natsu; it's easily countered by mages who enjoy researching various True Magic.

"Where do you think you're going to run now!"

Not long after George led everyone away from the Mirror World, Jellal also returned to reality from the Mirror World.

"Jellal, let me end you."

Erza grabbed two Daoist Swords and charged into the fray. Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Lucy, and Simon, Hugh, Wally, and Millyana, who had recovered some of their strength, joined in the attack.

George silently stepped back and continued chanting the long incantation of Ancient Magic.

Jellal is still very strong. Even without using large-scale True Magic, he can easily overwhelm everyone by himself.

Fortunately Erza, Natsu, and the others are incredibly resilient and persevered through sheer grit.

"Thunderstorm Descends! Thunder Giant!"

Seeing that everyone was about to give up, George finally finished reciting the spell.

The instant he finished chanting the incantation, he activated his superpower, gathering the iron sand and rocks on the island and slowly transforming them into a towering Thunder Giant.

That's right, he just wanted to try and see if he could make the Thunder Giant absorb the lightning from the Thunderstorm Magic and be further strengthened.

I'll finish dealing with things at home today, and start updating like crazy tomorrow!
