Sabaody Archipelago — Live Broadcast Square
"Wha—what the hell?!"
The square erupted in chaos as the giant screens flickered with live images from the battlefield.
"What's happening out there? What was that just now?"
"The little girl who controls wind—that's the Sky Witch, Wendy, right?"
"She was evenly matched with that Knight of God a moment ago! Maybe even being pushed back!"
"So how did she suddenly become… like that—raising her hand and wiping out the Knight of God in an instant?!"
Tens of thousands of spectators and journalists were shouting in disbelief, their voices overlapping in a roar of shock.
"Ah! I know this one!" yelled a reporter from the World Economic News with excitement. "That's Wendy—the Sky Priestess! She's the most mysterious one in Fairy Tail!"
"She's got this secret 'boss mode'—it activates automatically at the most critical moment, and when it does, she obliterates everything in her path!"
"Boss mode? Mysterious awakening?"
The crowd looked at one another in bewilderment, unable to make sense of it—but their confusion was quickly swept aside by another outburst.
"Ooooh, look! The other battlefields—those fights are ending too!"
Naval Headquarters — atop the battlefield.
"Hmph. With Jura and those little girls giving it their all, I suppose I can't afford to fall behind," said the blind swordsman, a faint smile on his face.
"Hah! Old blind man, what are you—" sneered the Knight of God facing him. But before he could finish the sentence—
BOOM!
A crushing, invisible force slammed into him. The earth trembled as if bowing under the weight of a god.
The Knight of God's knees buckled, his spine twisting under the overwhelming gravity pressing down on him.
The blind swordsman tilted his head slightly, lifting his sheathed blade.
"Gravity Blade — Tiger."
A deep, guttural roar echoed through the air, like a beast emerging from the shadows.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
The Knight of God was hurled hundreds—no, thousands—of meters backward, crashing through fortifications and debris before collapsing in defeat.
Another battlefield decided.
Meanwhile, in the sky above—
Griffin, the Winged King of the Skies—half lion, half eagle—clashed fiercely with Mirajane, who had taken on her demonic form.
Scarlet light from his divine aura clashed with the swirling black magic radiating from her body. Each collision burst into brilliant explosions that painted the heavens in crimson and shadow.
Among the Knights of God, the Phantom Beast Griffin Knight ranked among the elite. His power, both offensive and defensive, was exceptional—and his mighty wings gave him dominion over the sky itself.
Even Mirajane, in her Satan Soul form, struggled to gain the upper hand.
"Is that all you've got?" the Griffin Knight sneered, shifting into his strongest human-beast form, his broad sword gleaming.
"No," Mirajane smiled faintly, her tone unbothered. "I was just thinking… it's about time to end this."
"Hah! Arrogant woman!" he laughed darkly. "But I like that in a prisoner. Once I capture you, I'll make sure you're treated very personally."
But his grin froze almost immediately.
Because the air—no, the entire sky—suddenly began to shake.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
A terrifying, otherworldly pressure swept across the heavens. Clouds were torn apart as pure demonic power erupted from Mirajane's body.
Golden armor began to form, wrapping around her ears and jaw. Her long, white hair thickened, whipping wildly in the wind.
Dark blue garments—elegant yet menacing—covered her frame, and a black cloak fluttered behind her like the wings of a fallen angel.
"Full Body Takeover—Demon Shatri!!!"
Mirajane, S-Class mage of Fairy Tail, had revealed her strongest form—one said to surpass even her Satan Soul in every possible aspect.
"N-no… no, no, no!" The Griffin Knight's eyes widened in panic. He hadn't even swung his sword yet, but every instinct screamed that he was facing something he could never defeat.
His body trembled. His will broke. And in that instant—his fate was sealed.
BOOM!
The heavens split open as Mirajane unleashed her dark fury.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The skies lit with apocalyptic flashes. When the light finally faded, the once-proud Griffin Knight lay defeated—his wings torn, his body broken—swallowed by the unrelenting power of Demon Shatri.
