Brons, your matter has come to light! Come with us!
Hades narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at Gar:
"Sharp-tongued little brat."
Concern breeds chaos; just watching Makarov appear in the sky.
Not paying attention to the situation behind him, Hades also didn't expect to be fooled by such a simple trick.
Did the slap mocking that brat come back to hit his own face?
Hades's face was grim, and he turned to look at Azuma:
"Do you still have strength?"
Azuma took a deep breath; although covered in dirt and holding his arm, he nodded solemnly:
"No problem."
The situation on the battlefield suddenly reached a stalemate.
Hades, whose methods were unknown, and Azuma, who could merge with the earth.
If they couldn't be killed in one blow, the trouble would be endless.
And Hades didn't want to die either, so he could only gamble on Makarov's feelings for Fairy Tail.
Although Makarov could directly crush Hades's Magic source, the consequences of doing so were unacceptable.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Splash!
A sound came from the lake.
Gildarts, looking disheveled, dragged Ur and Ultear and swam ashore. He was in a sorry state. After throwing Ur and Ultear onto the bank, he slumped to the ground, grimacing and saying:
"Almost... died."
"That damn old man."
Although that Magic roar didn't do much to Gildarts, the shockwave from the explosion truly almost took his life.
Gildarts took out several bottles of Magic recovery potion and gulped them down. He got up, panting, looked at the current situation, and then looked at Hades and Azuma:
"Should we kill them?"
"Leave them all to me."
Hades ignored Gildarts's words and looked at Makarov instead:
"How about it?"
"Makarov."
Gar raised his head to look at Makarov at this moment and said:
"No need to rush, Old Man."
"I think Guild Master Hades doesn't want to die either, right?"
"He hasn't yet pursued the ultimate mystery of Magic, and he's going to fight Fairy Tail to the death here."
"No matter how you look at it, it's a huge loss."
Hades's eyes burst with killing intent. At this moment, he wished he could tear Gar's mouth apart.
He regretted why he hadn't killed him immediately just now.
Gar shrugged indifferently, meeting Hades's murderous gaze, looked at Makarov in the sky, floated up, and flew over.
At this moment.
On the Grimoire Heart Guild's airship.
No one dared to act rashly, because this airship was too fragile.
If they caused any trouble and the airship was accidentally crushed by Makarov, then Hades would kill them without Makarov needing to lift a finger.
On the airship.
Gar slowly landed on it. Makarov was a little puzzled but didn't say much.
As for Zancrow, Kain Hikaru, and the others, their faces also turned grim upon seeing Gar appear:
"What is this scoundrel doing here?"
Zancrow wanted to step forward and attack several times but was pulled back by Kain Hikaru:
"Don't forget we're currently being held by Makarov."
"If the airship has a problem, none of us can escape."
Kain Hikaru was truly scared. That idiot Zancrow had done so many stupid things. If he blew up the airship, they would all be finished.
After Gar landed on the airship, he just glanced around and walked straight towards the Grimoire Heart Guild hall, using Confusion to scan the entire airship.
Any paper or books on the airship with writing on them all floated up as if by themselves, without wind.
They flew out from various parts of the airship and flew towards Gar. Gengar emerged from Gar's shadow.
It opened its large mouth.
All the books within the entire Guild flew into Gengar's mouth.
Inside Hades's room.
The drawers of the everyday desk automatically opened, and all the papers inside floated up. The densely packed bookshelves nearby had books flying out of the window one by one.
Kain Hikaru and Zancrow watched this scene.
Their initial anger turned into fear, and they were drenched in cold sweat. This was clearly about to take everything Guild Master Hades had.
Kain Hikaru swallowed and exchanged glances with Zancrow, then looked at Gar:
"Stop!"
"Gall Brons! You've gone too far!!!"
"Flame God Arrow!"
"Self-Enhancement: Light Source Body!"
Gar raised a hand, set up a reflection Magic circle, and sped up.
Hades below also sensed what was happening above, and Dark Magic surged throughout his body:
"Makarov!"
"Tell that brat to stop!!!"
As Hades raised his hand, over a dozen Darkness Chains shot out from the ground, directly attacking Makarov's arm as they surged into the sky.
Because Grimoire Heart's base had always been in the sky.
Therefore, the airship in the sky was the Guild base that Grimoire Heart had used for decades.
Not to mention that Hades's many years of Magic research and notes were all on the airship.
If that brat took it all, it would be equivalent to giving all his Magic research to that brat.
Hades could not stand his Magic being spied upon like this.
Makarov looked at the incoming Darkness Chains, simply clenched his fist, and punched.
Boom!!!
Under the impact of powerful Light Magic, the Darkness Chains cast by Hades shattered one after another. Hades was furious. If it weren't for the lack of Magic power supply, how could this be?
Hades looked at Azuma and said furiously:
"Azuma!"
"Kill everyone in Magnolia Town!"
"Leave no one alive!"
Boom—!!!
An explosion sound came from the sky. Gar had a look of regret on his face, holding a pink-haired loli who had fainted.
His gaze still lingered on some books that hadn't been collected in time. He nodded at Makarov.
Makarov looked at Hades and said:
"I agree."
Hades's face was as gloomy as water. Azuma beside him didn't know if he should still act:
"Guild Master?"
Hades remained gloomy for a long time before slowly speaking and looking at Gar:
"Hand over the things."
Gar descended from the air and pointed to the destroyed Guild next to him:
"Then, Guild Master Hades, please."
"Could you restore our destroyed library?"
Under the impact just now, the Guild's library had completely collapsed.
Except for the sealed secret room, the books normally available for Magicians within the Guild to browse were scattered everywhere, badly damaged.
Upon hearing Gar's words, Hades was almost infuriated by Gar's shamelessness.
Could those pieces of junk sold casually on the continent compare to his decades of Magic research notes?
Hades clenched his staff tightly, wanting to erupt and kill Gar several times, but the Magic power in his body wouldn't allow it. Thinking that Gar had taken away the culmination of his decades of effort.
Hades wished he could just fight to the death right there and then.
But with the search over the years, Zeref's whereabouts were close to being Lock-On, and there weren't many places left to search.
Faced with his dream and lifelong work, Hades suppressed his anger, gave Gar a cold look, and said to Azuma:
"Leave first."
As long as he found Zeref and the Black Dragon.
This debt would be settled sooner or later.
As soon as Hades finished speaking, Azuma activated his Magic.
A stone wolf's head rose from the ground, carrying the two away.
Makarov maintained his giant form until the two completely disappeared, then slowly released the airship in his hand.
Kain Hikaru quickly rushed to the control helm, turned the direction, and left.
Makarov's body gradually began to shrink, returning to its normal form, though his arms had some burns. Chairman Crawford Hume from the Magic Council side frowned:
"Makarov, why didn't you keep him?"
"Letting him go back like this will cause more trouble in the future."
Makarov shook his head and said:
"You heard it too, he could fight us to the death."
Crawford Seam frowned tightly, wondering what leverage Fairy Tail had in Grimoire Heart's hands. Could it be that guy Ivan revealed some information?
However...
Crawford Seam was destined not to know.
Because for something like Lumen Histoire, Hades wouldn't easily reveal it unless there was truly no other way.
After all, that represented infinite Magic power, and even he couldn't create a second one.
As the surroundings quieted down.
Gar plopped down, collapsing onto the ground. Makarov quickly rushed over:
"Gar!"
Gar waved his hand and said:
"I'm fine..."
"I'll sleep first."
Although he still wanted to look at Hades's notes and research from these years, his body's fatigue was unbearable after relaxing, and he fell asleep.
Year X775, September.
The head of the Balam Alliance, the Grimoire Heart Guild, under the guise of negotiation, led over twenty Dark Guilds to attack the Fairy Tail base.
The process of the battle was unknown, but the reputation of 'Fairy Law' shook the continent.
This was because more than half of the over twenty Dark Guilds that participated were wiped out, leaving no trace of their existence.
Hades's defeat and escape also added a touch of mystery to Fairy Law.
--
A few days later.
At the Fairy Tail Guild base, which was busy with reconstruction.
Many children were working and playing around at the same time.
Gray and Lyon were holding shovels, competing with Elfman to mix mortar. Laxus's hand was flashing with electricity, directly heating the rebar in his hand red, straightening it, and inserting it into the structure.
Gar was directing the Gengars to move bricks and stones.
The sky was suddenly covered by a shadow.
Makarov, looking peaceful, was leisurely drinking tea. Makarov looked up and saw the Magic Council's ship. A team of guards disembarked from the ship.
The leading guard, holding an order, walked up to Gar:
"Gall Brons."
"Your matter of creating Demons has come to light. Come with us."
