Chapter Summaries

Mira, Lin Yuan, Macao, and Wakaba attacked the cursed object beneath the church and pulled one of its main roots from the ground. Lin Yuan discovered that its roots spread beneath the entire town, leaving the group to face the truth that Sunken Bell Town had been inside its mouth all along.

• Mira charged the cursed object while Lin Yuan redirected its tentacles, and Macao and Wakaba protected the basement with flames and smoke.
• Wakaba discovered the cursed object was retreating underground, and Lin Yuan realized it was dragging the sealed church down the mountain.
• Macao’s flames exposed the thickest roots, and Mira followed Wakaba’s directions while Lin Yuan moved her behind the cursed object so she could sever them.
• The group pulled a black, hole-riddled stone fragment from the ground, but the remaining roots spread into the town and shook the streets beneath the houses.
• Lin Yuan traced the roots beneath Sunken Bell Town and realized the cursed object had spread under the whole town decades earlier.

Lin Yuan, Mira, Macao, and Wakaba destroyed the cursed stone fragment beneath Sunken Bell Town and freed the town from its roots. As the last traces disappeared, Lin Yuan saw a snake marking slip through a crack in space and escape.

• Macao sent an emergency signal to Sunken Bell Town, and the mayor began evacuating the townspeople, children, and missing people.
• Wakaba and Macao restrained the cursed core while Mira and the others resisted its false voices.
• Lin Yuan stripped the stolen power of faith from the roots and shortened the distances between them, pulling them back to the church.
• Mira tore the stone fragment from the roots and smashed it with three blows, destroying the core and its false divinity.
• A serpentine marking escaped through a crack in space, and Lin Yuan told Mira that a snake had just gotten away.

After destroying the cursed object beneath Sunken Bell Town’s church, Lin Yuan and the Fairy Tail team escaped as the building collapsed and confirmed the town was safe. They completed the mission, recovered a mysterious snake-marked stone, and received an extra reward, while Lin Yuan remained concerned about the snake pattern that had vanished between worlds.

• Macao, Wakaba, Mira, and Lin Yuan escaped the collapsing church, and Lin Yuan released the sealed space as Mira punched a path through the wall.
• The mayor confirmed that the townspeople were safe, the nine missing people had been rescued, and the black roots had stopped moving.
• Lin Yuan searched the rubble with the others and used spatial magic to place a black stone marked with half a snake scale and unknown writing into a metal box.
• The mayor asked the Fairy Tail team to rest while stonemasons repaired the streets, and grateful townspeople brought them food.
• The mayor gave Macao the mission reward and announced a bonus because the church had been due for demolition anyway.

After completing their first job, Lin Yuan and Mira returned to Fairy Tail and celebrated with the guild before Makarov examined the recovered black stone. Its ancient inscription revealed a message about bringing down a god, leaving the guild to wonder whether it was connected to Lin Yuan’s magic.

• Macao divided the job reward as Mira and Lin Yuan argued over who deserved a larger share.
• The guild welcomed the team home, and Lin Yuan used spatial magic to make Natsu and Gray collide while Mira eyed them with her demon hand.
• Makarov recognized the team’s progress, then charged the guild for the damaged railing and stopped the ensuing brawl.
• Macao and Wakaba reported the job details to Makarov, while Lin Yuan explained how the snake pattern had burrowed into space.
• Makarov used ancient books and Lin Yuan’s God-Slaying Magic Power to reveal the black stone’s inscription, which he identified as a record of hunting gods.

After the celebration, Lin Yuan dreamed of taking power from ten thrones and facing countless doors that led to no one waiting for him. Mira reassured him that Fairy Tail would always be his home, even if the Guild were destroyed.

• Makarov locked the metal box away and planned to seek a complete translation, while Mira warned Lin Yuan not to touch it.
• Makarov made Mira and Lin Yuan clean the hall, and Lin Yuan fell asleep while waiting for her to finish.
• Lin Yuan dreamed of ten thrones, an unfamiliar version of himself, and countless empty doors before a black snake made the final door vanish.
• Mira questioned Lin Yuan about the dream, and he admitted he might fear that the door would close and leave him with nowhere to return.
• Natsu and Gray crashed a table through a window, and Mira told Lin Yuan that even if Fairy Tail collapsed, they would build it again.

Lin Yuan told Mira that he had no memories of his past, and her blunt advice helped him accept the memories he was making at Fairy Tail. Makarov brought out an ancient sealed book that opened for Lin Yuan and revealed that it knew him.

• Mira and Erza stopped Natsu and Gray's brawl, and Makarov warned the guild to stop fighting or repair the roof.
• Mira pressed Lin Yuan about what he had said in his sleep, and he admitted he remembered only fragments of his past and did not know his age or family.
• Mira told Lin Yuan to value the memories he made from now on, and he agreed.
• Makarov brought an ancient black book to the table, and its clasp opened when Lin Yuan approached.
• The book's blank page filled with writing Lin Yuan could read, and Makarov said it knew him.

Lin Yuan read that his Lost Magic was God Slayer Magic that consumed space, and Makarov warned him to handle it carefully. When the ancient book began revealing a mysterious figure and the source of Lin Yuan’s power, black flames destroyed the passage, leaving Makarov convinced that someone was hiding the answer.

• Lin Yuan translated the book’s description of God Slayer Magic, and Makarov explained how it differed from Dragon Slayer Magic.
• Lin Yuan demonstrated that his magic swallowed the space between him and an object, and Makarov identified space as the attribute he could consume.
• Makarov forbade Lin Yuan from experimenting near buildings and moved his training area to the backyard.
• The book showed a faceless man standing before a gate beside a slain serpent and began identifying him as the eleventh gatekeeper.
• Black flames burned away the passage, and Lin Yuan swallowed the space around the blaze to contain it.

After Porlyusica examined Lin Yuan, she found his magic stable but warned him that a seal in his soul protected a hidden power and its memories. Back at the Guild, the Magic Council summoned him for questioning within seven days over his Lost Magic, spatial barrier, and references to god slaying.

• Makarov took the scorched ancient book to Porlyusica, who examined Lin Yuan's magic and found it stable.
• Porlyusica discovered a hidden power and its memories sealed inside Lin Yuan, and warned him not to force the seal open.
• Lin Yuan tried to reach the eleventh door in his dream, triggering a golden mark before Porlyusica struck him and stopped him.
• Porlyusica told Makarov that the inner seal seemed to have been created by Lin Yuan himself, despite his apparent age of ten.
• At the Guild, a Magic Council representative delivered a letter demanding that Fairy Tail bring Lin Yuan for questioning within seven days.

Lin Yuan trained his spatial magic at Fairy Tail and won a sparring match against Mira after Erza intervened. Mira challenged him to a proper fight outside the city the next day, with the loser agreeing to do one thing for the winner.

Lin Yuan and Makarov went to the Magic Council, where examiners tested Lin Yuan’s magic power. The measuring column could not register his full strength, and the Council recorded his total magic power as impossible to measure.

• Makarov pulled Natsu, Gray, and Mira out of the luggage, and Erza took them away as Lin Yuan boarded the train with Makarov.
• The Magic Council examiners questioned Lin Yuan, who could provide little information beyond his name, approximate age, and amnesia.
• The examiners asked Lin Yuan to channel magic power into a measuring column while Makarov stood ready to protect them.
• Lin Yuan’s magic power passed all twelve markings, overwhelmed the room’s protective spells, and triggered an overload alarm.
• The elderly examiner ordered Lin Yuan to stop, and Lin Yuan said he had released less than half his magic power.
• The elderly examiner crossed out the preset ranks and recorded Lin Yuan’s total magic power as impossible to measure.

Lin Yuan's Magic Council test overwhelmed its measuring equipment, but the Council classified his power as Non-Elemental God Slayer Magic and left his supervision to Fairy Tail. Back at the Guild, he revealed that he had used less than half of his magic power during the test.

• The examiners ended Lin Yuan's test after all twelve marks lit up and the backup Magic Crystals activated, then questioned him about his magic and training.

• Lin Yuan told the Guild that he had used not even half of his magic power.

• Makarov stopped Natsu from demanding another magic-power demonstration and set up a water-carrying contest for Lin Yuan and Mira.
• Lin Yuan used spatial magic and Mira used a demon wing and tail to maneuver through the chaos while keeping their glasses steady.
• Lin Yuan and Mira reached the entrance almost together, and both glasses remained full.
• Lisanna pointed out a trail of water from a knocked-over kettle, revealing that the contestants had ignored what was happening around them.
• Makarov ordered everyone involved in the commotion to wipe the floor, while Mira and Lin Yuan prepared to race again until Makarov forbade more contests.

Lin Yuan and Mira delivered thirty fragile magic glass lamps through a crowded street, saving a fallen girl and stopping a runaway wagon along the way. They reached the station with every lamp and the cup of water intact, and Mira admitted that they had both won.

• Makarov assigned Lin Yuan and Mira a delivery job carrying thirty glass lamps and a full cup of water to the station before noon.
• Lin Yuan and Mira carefully navigated the crowded street, working together to protect the lamps and keep the water from spilling.
• When a runaway wagon bore down on their cart, Lin Yuan rescued a fallen girl while Mira shielded the lamps and pulled the cart clear.
• Lin Yuan slowed the wagon by folding the road, and Mira kicked its flying barrels into an empty fodder shop; together they saved the cup of water from spilling.
• Lin Yuan and Mira delivered all thirty undamaged lamps on time, and Mira told him, “This time, we both won.”

Laxus returned to the Guild, challenged Lin Yuan, and took an A-rank job at a northern mine. Before leaving, he invited Lin Yuan to join next year's S-Class Exam, telling him not to keep him waiting.

• Laxus confronted Makarov about Lin Yuan's Magic Council test report, then challenged Lin Yuan to a fight.
• Mira offered to fight Laxus, but Makarov stopped them and warned them against fighting inside the Guild.

• Laxus tested Lin Yuan with a lightning-charged gold coin, and Lin Yuan made it vanish and reappear behind him.
• Laxus announced he would take next year's S-Class Exam and invited Lin Yuan to join him.

Laxus returned to the Guild after defeating the carapace beast, then rushed with Lin Yuan to rescue six miners trapped by a tunnel collapse. While locating the survivors, Lin Yuan sensed another heartbeat sealed behind a deeper rock wall.

• Laxus returned to the Guild with the carapace beast's back plate and reported that the mine had not collapsed during his fight.
• A miner reported that a tunnel had collapsed and trapped six workers, so Makarov sent Laxus and Lin Yuan to help.
• Lin Yuan used spatial magic to shorten the journey, and he and Laxus raced to the mine.
• At the collapsed tunnel, Laxus held back from blasting the rock after the mine foreman warned it could bring down the supports.
• Lin Yuan sensed six living miners beyond the rubble, then detected another heartbeat behind a sealed rock wall.

Lin Yuan and Laxus rescued seven miners from a collapsing tunnel and safely disabled a box of explosives. They returned to the Guild with all the miners alive, and Makarov stamped their completion certificate.

• Lin Yuan used his spatial perception and Laxus traced knocks along the rails to locate six trapped miners and a seventh heartbeat deeper inside the tunnel.
• Lin Yuan held back the collapsing strata while Laxus shattered the rock, and the rescuers brought the six miners out.
• Laxus used the mining lamp’s metal handle to help Lin Yuan locate Old Hake, who was shielding a blasting box beneath the rubble.
• Lin Yuan routed a thin bolt of Laxus’s lightning through folded space to extinguish the fuses, then rescued Old Hake and recovered the explosives as the tunnel collapsed.
• Mira and Erza treated the injured outside, and Lin Yuan and Laxus argued over who had caused the tunnel to collapse.
• Makarov tore up Laxus’s earlier proof of completion, but the mine supervisor presented a new certificate, which Makarov stamped after confirming everyone had survived.

Lin Yuan and Laxus fought a bell-grabbing spar that ended in a draw, with each taking the other's bell at nearly the same moment. Mira challenged them next, but Makarov stopped the escalating fight by knocking all three into the dirt.

• Lin Yuan refused his share of the mine reward, but Laxus insisted he take it for finding Old Hake.
• Makarov set rules for Lin Yuan and Laxus's spar, and the two fought using lightning and spatial magic.
• Laxus reached for Lin Yuan's bell while Lin Yuan used folded space to take Laxus's bell, making the bells ring nearly simultaneously.
• Makarov declared a draw as the spectators argued over their bets and Natsu demanded another round.
• Mira challenged Lin Yuan and Laxus, but Makarov turned giant and slapped all three into the dirt.

After their duel, Lin Yuan and Laxus asked to enter the S-Class Exam, but Makarov told them to build their mission records before he chose candidates. They set out on separate missions, leaving the candidate list blank until their work could answer whether they were ready.

• The Guild divided the training-ground repair costs among Lin Yuan, Laxus, Mira, Natsu, and Gray, who was charged for his betting pool.
• Lin Yuan and Laxus asked to be considered for the S-Class Exam, but Makarov said their mission experience and other qualities still needed to be weighed.
• Lin Yuan accepted a twenty-day mission to repair seven magic signal towers in the western canyon, while Laxus chose a thunderbird subjugation mission.
• Macao led Lin Yuan's team, Mira traveled with Wakaba, Erza joined another team, and Laxus set out alone as several teams departed the Guild.
• Makarov watched the young members leave and put away the still-blank S-Class candidate list, saying their missions would provide the answer.

Lin Yuan, Macao, and a repairman reached the western canyon to investigate seven disabled signal towers. After restoring the first tower, they discovered someone had sabotaged it to direct caravans toward an abandoned northern route, and they followed the clues toward the next ridge.

• Lin Yuan, Macao, and the repairman traveled to the canyon and learned that all seven signal towers had been out of service for half a month.
• Macao found hemp rope near the first tower, and the repairman discovered its anchor bolts had been deliberately loosened.
• Lin Yuan used his magic to set the tower upright while the repairman replaced the bolts and restored its circuits.
• Macao and Lin Yuan shielded the tower from a sudden gale, and the repaired crystal sent a signal toward the second ridge.
• The repairman found that someone had shifted the tower’s positioning dial, aiming its light at an abandoned northern route.
• Macao concluded that someone was trying to lure caravans north and followed the drag marks toward the next ridge.
