" Zoldeo, don't be impulsive. Didn't Gildarts just say that Makarov is in charge of the final checkpoint, and that he absolutely won't give up?"
Hades's face darkened, and he gripped the cracked magic staff in his hand even tighter.
"Originally, I wouldn't have taken a fresh-faced newcomer seriously, but after all this farce, I'm actually quite curious to see what he's capable of that made those three back down."
"Okay, let's wait a little longer."
"That Makarov guy has always been very serious. Once he sets his mind on something, he never hesitates. Otherwise, he wouldn't have expelled his son Ivan from Fairy Tail."
Hades, the former second guild master of Fairy Tail, witnessed Makarov's growth firsthand.
It could be said that Makarov's current status as the third-generation chairman was personally handed over to him by Hades.
Hades was very clear about those old stories.
Zoldeo's expression was twisted to the extreme as he looked at Hades blocking his way. He took two or three deep breaths before barely managing to suppress the anger in his heart.
He was indeed furious at what had just happened, wishing he could kill that wretched brat as soon as possible.
However, who wouldn't want to know themselves and their enemy to win every battle?
If given the opportunity, why not find out more about Bai Yu?
"Alright, I'll wait one more time and see just how powerful the Ten Wizard Saints really are."
Zoldeo gripped the ship's railing tightly, gritting his teeth as he spoke, each word deliberate and forceful.
It's fair to say that if his teeth weren't his own, he would want to grind them to pieces right now.
"President Hades, they've met."
Bluenote suddenly spoke up.
Everyone present turned their gazes and fixed them on the magical projection.
The first thing that catches the eye is a short, scrawny old man standing under the Tenrou Tree.
Seeing Bai Yu, who had been drinking along the way, appear before her, she was clearly taken aback.
Immediately, a terrifying magical power, like steam rising from a volcano, gradually caused the surrounding air to roar.
The next moment, it exploded with a deafening roar.
The immense magical power transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
The ground beneath their feet seemed unable to withstand this immense force, cracking inch by inch at a rapid pace.
Makarov's eyes were completely enveloped in golden light.
An indescribable sense of terror could be clearly felt even through the magical projection.
This caused a strange sense of oppression to rise up among the Seven Kin of Purgatory in the arena.
"So this is the power of the fifth-ranked member of the Ten Wizard Saints? The feeling he unleashed is indeed impressive."
A hint of joy appeared on Zoldeo's face, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said.
"Fine, I refuse to believe that brat can remain completely hidden when he encounters the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Once I find out who he is, I will make him understand what true despair is."
roar!
The deafening the Roar, like a ferocious beast shaking the heavens, created a massive sonic shockwave that rippled outwards in all directions.
At that moment, the entire island was completely alarmed.
Under the immense shockwave, Makarov instantly transformed into a giant several meters tall.
Beneath his exposed muscles and bones, he exudes a strange, suffocating sense of oppression.
Giant Magic!
This is Makarov's most proficient combat magic, aside from the Three Great Fairy Spells.
It is also one of the reasons why it became one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Coupled with a pair of golden eyes, his aura was even more imposing.
With a large stride, he stomped heavily on the ground, causing a thunderous roar and tremor within a radius of a hundred meters.
"Good, very good. Those three bastards actually didn't stop you at all and let you come this far."
Makarov's expression darkened, and the Roar angrily.
"Such favoritism and cheating—how infuriating would all the previous guild masters be if they saw it? As the third guild master of Fairy Tail, I, Makarov, absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen."
"So, Bai Yu, you are about to receive my strongest attack. I hope you don't die."
" Giant's Spear!"
Makarov roared repeatedly, unleashing his immense magical power to its fullest extent.
With long, heavy strides, he rushed towards Bai Yu like a shooting star chasing the sun.
His five fingers clenched tightly, and his enormous fist, like a giant pendulum, slammed down towards Bai Yu.
In an instant, a loud whooshing sound filled the air, creating large ripples in the air along the way, which thrilled the onlookers.
"As expected of Fairy Tail's guild master, finally we have someone useful. Under such an attack, even one of us, the Seven Kin of Purgatory, would have a hard time resisting. I refuse to believe that this brat hasn't shown his true strength by now."
Zoldeo's eyes lit up immediately.
If there were a fast-forward button right now, he would want to see the result immediately.
The enormous fist rapidly magnified in Bai Yu's pupils.
Seeing such a fierce and powerful attack, Bai Yu could only smile helplessly.
Whether it's using Observation Haki to Future Sight, or the aura contained within this punch...
Bai Yu clearly sensed Makarov's intention.
I'll give you another one!
Bang!
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Bai Yu's mind.
Rushing in, a fierce punch landed heavily on Bai Yu's face.
Throughout this process, Bai Yu seemed to be stunned the entire time, standing still without even moving a finger.
Only his full head of black hair fluttered in the strong wind.
Bai Yu seemed to be rooted to the earth, completely still.
The bizarre scene left everyone on the airship stunned.
Especially seeing Makarov's increasingly distorted old face, he was completely unable to react.
"No, that's impossible. How come my fists can't land on you? Why are you so strong that even I, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, can't get close to you?"
Makarov's face showed a hint of horror, and he cried out in shock.
"No, I feel a tremendous force rushing towards me."
"Ah, no!"
Bang!
Makarov conjured a massive body over ten meters tall, and like a cannonball, he flew backward, crashing headfirst into the Tenrou Tree.
The immense impact caused the Tenrou Tree to shake violently.
Makarov opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva. His entire body shrank rapidly, like a deflated balloon, shrinking seven or eight times in size, returning to the shape of a little old man.
Looking at Bai Yu's helpless expression, Makarov nimbly dusted himself off and, leaning on his scepter, said, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so powerful now that no one can even get close. It seems that even I, as the guild leader, am getting old."
"By the way, this is the Mark of Light, the token for this assessment. You've passed the S-Class Mage assessment."
"I didn't give you a piece of my mind, so don't hold a grudge."
