"Whoa—!"
"What's going on?!"
"Is it an earthquake?!"
"No! The entire building is moving!"
"..."
A violent tremor swept through the entire Phantom Lord Headquarters. The walls and ceilings groaned under the strain, masonry debris rained down, and the entire structure emitted a tremendous noise of metal turning and gears meshing.
Erza knelt on one knee, supporting herself with her sword. That sudden physical discomfort was precisely the side effect of Dragon Slaying Magic.
The Phantom Lord Headquarters beneath their feet was likely a structure capable of moving like a vehicle.
Erza suppressed her discomfort and shouted sharply, "Everyone! Evacuate immediately! Hurry!"
The crowd did not hesitate, immediately following her orders to quickly exit the Phantom Lord Headquarters. However, those who were unaware that Erza was also a Dragon Slayer Mage subconsciously assumed she could leave on her own.
Erza gave a wry smile. Although she had mastered Dragon Slaying Magic, she had never used it in combat, yet she had already experienced its negative effects twice.
How embarrassing... Just as Erza was about to collapse, a hand wrapped around her waist. She immediately felt her body lighten, and she was carried away, flying out of the Phantom Lord Headquarters.
In the sky, Erza, whose spirits had instantly recovered, looked up and saw that the person holding her was Hope. She blurted out subconsciously, "We are both Dragon Slayer Mages, so why aren't you affected?"
Hope smiled, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome, which prevents the negative effect of motion sickness from activating."
"Hmph, if you don't want to say it, then don't. Using such a narcissistic, lame excuse—do you think I'd believe it?" Erza rolled her eyes.
In fact, after fusing the three 'Dragon Slaying' magics and obtaining 'Dragon King' Magic, Hope realized that while the new magic combined the features and strengths of the three Dragon Slaying Magics, the negative effect of motion sickness had become even more severe.
To solve this problem, Hope applied the "Balance" Attachment Spell to himself, which could temporarily resolve the physical and mental effects of motion sickness.
"There's a trick like that?"
Hearing Hope's explanation, Erza was slightly surprised, but the next second she seized on the blind spot, "When did you learn the 'Attachment Spell'?"
"Uh... well..."
Hope hadn't expected Erza to react so quickly, and he hastily changed the subject, "Shouldn't you be looking shocked right now and praising my astonishing wisdom?"
"I never realized you were so shameless before."
Erza didn't press the issue further. Even if Hope didn't say anything, she could deduce from most of his current magic that he possessed the ability to copy and master the magic of others.
As they spoke, the two had returned to the ground and rejoined their companions.
At this moment, the Phantom Lord Headquarters was lifted high by massive mechanical legs extending from its base. The original main structure continuously deformed and reassembled, finally transforming into an unimaginably gigantic magic gigant!
The guild emblem symbolizing Phantom Lord was conspicuously engraved on the magic gigant's chest.
"Hey, hey..."
"Are you... kidding me?!"
"This feels bad."
"Turning the entire guild... into a Giant?!"
"Phantom Lord is too good at hiding things..."
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded, temporarily forgetting the fact that Makarov was still inside the transformed Phantom Lord magic gigant.
Just as everyone was at a loss, a voice came from beside Gray: "This is the Ultimate Weapon of War that we Phantom Lord have been secretly completing since our establishment—the Super Magic Giant: Phantom Lord MK-2!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the speaker was Juvia.
"Hey, we are still enemies right now. Isn't it bad for you to openly reveal your guild's information like this?" Gray whispered.
Juvia, however, didn't care, pressing against Gray, "It doesn't matter. Juvia is happy as long as she can help Gray-sama~"
"Hiss—"
The crowd uniformly drew a sharp breath.
Just fighting a battle, and he managed to acquire a beautiful woman throwing herself at him. Gray must have incredible luck.
Then again, anyone who likes Gray, the stripping pervert, probably isn't a normal human either... After Juvia's brief introduction, everyone learned the origin of the Phantom Lord Super magic gigant MK-2, which was actually the second generation magic gigant.
The first generation Giant was originally intended to deal with the second master of Fairy Tail, Precht Gaebolg, but Precht slapped it to pieces, which also disciplined the Phantom Lord at the time.
With Makarov ascending as the third master of Fairy Tail, Phantom Lord restarted the magic gigant project.
The second generation magic gigant was equipped with a Magic Convergence Cannon named "jupiter," powerful enough to destroy an entire city. Its size was also greater than the first generation's. This was specifically designed to counter... Before Juvia could finish her explanation, a golden light burst from the magic gigant's head with a boom, followed by a dazzling flash.
The golden light gradually receded, revealing a Muscle Giant slightly larger than the Phantom Lord magic gigant. Its muscle definition swelled like mountains, surrounded by pulsing golden light.
"Master!" Natsu was the first to cheer.
That's right, the enormous muscle-bound figure before everyone was Makarov, who had used 'Giant' Magic to greatly enlarge himself.
Now everyone understood whom Phantom Lord MK-2 was meant to counter.
However, in terms of presence and sheer size, Phantom Lord had already largely lost.
Makarov straightened his body, every movement causing the earth to tremble, and his voice resonated like thunder throughout the heavens, "Jose, is this your final trump card?"
"Heh... Hahahaha!"
Jose, the Master of Phantom Lord, let out a maniacal laugh from inside the Phantom Lord magic gigant, "Makarov, don't underestimate this old man! This Phantom Lord MK-2 will definitely give you an unexpected surprise!"
The two behemoths confronted each other in the center of Oak Town, their mere presence causing the surrounding buildings to sway precariously.
The gears inside the magic gigant's chest cavity spun wildly. The arm armor opened layer by layer, revealing a massive, pitch-black muzzle. The "jupiter" cannon aimed at Makarov.
Facing the Magic Convergence Cannon capable of destroying a city, Makarov simply clenched his fist in a charging posture, magic power coalescing into a dazzling sphere of light on his fist.
"Everyone retreat!"
Erza quickly gave the order, and the Fairy Tail members rapidly retreated.
At that very moment, the jupiter cannon in the magic gigant's chest fired instantly! A scorching white beam of light, imbued with terrifying magic power, tore through the air, twisting even the light rays in its path.
However, facing this destructive strike, Makarov neither blocked nor dodged, allowing the terrifying blast to hit his chest.
The scattered energy flattened most of the surrounding buildings.
The members of Fairy Tail on the ground held their breath.
However, as the light dispersed, Makarov's gigantic figure stood completely still.
The jupiter cannon, capable of easily wiping out a city, only left a small, smoking black mark on his body; it didn't even break the skin.
The 'Giant' Magic is not merely enlargement; it completely transforms Makarov's life form into a true Giant. His current strength, bones, flesh, and stamina have reached a terrifying level, sufficient to fight a Dragon in close combat.
