In the waters near Hargeon, over a hundred massive warships advanced menacingly across the sea.
Focusing on the lead flagship, a black-haired man was seen crouching monkey-like on the ship's rail, gazing towards the Ishgar Continent in the distance.
This black-haired man was none other than the true body of Wall, whose puppet had been destroyed by Laxus.
"Heh, interesting, truly interesting!" Wall grinned, his face filled with fervor.
"What has you so pleased?" The blonde woman in armor standing nearby, her arms crossed, asked casually.
"That guy Ajeel's vanguard forces were completely wiped out by someone from Fairy Tail. Isn't that interesting?" Wall withdrew his gaze, looked at Dimaria beside him, and said with a wide grin.
"No, not interesting at all," Dimaria replied to Wall, then turned her gaze to Brandish with her green short hair not far away.
Seeing Brandish, a hint of interest finally appeared on Dimaria's otherwise listless face.
"Brandish, I remember you had a subordinate who used Spatial Magic, right? Didn't that guy come with you?"
"Did I have someone like that?" Brandish tilted her head and asked.
"I think his name was Marin?"
"Marin? Haven't seen that guy in ages. Probably dead by now." Brandish spoke as if referring to someone completely unrelated to her, her expression unchanging.
However, when Dimaria approached within a certain distance, Brandish seemed to remember something, then asked with downcast eyes, "Didn't you say you hated me? Why are you talking to me?"
Hearing this, Dimaria's foot, which had just stepped forward, froze mid-air, and her expression stiffened.
Then she withdrew her foot and said with a smile, "Yeah, I hate you the most!"
"Eh~?" Brandish drew out the sound, then said lazily, "What a hassle."
While Brandish and Dimaria were talking, Wall, standing on the ship's rail, suddenly spoke up.
"400 kilometers. Fairy Tail is within range!"
After saying this, Wall jumped down from the rail, interlocked his hands, and...
"Metal Make!"
Bzzzt-
In the next second, numerous tiny particles of energy in the air converged towards Wall's location.
Soon, those tiny energy particles coalesced into a massive rocket launcher.
"Are you going to attack Fairy Tail from here?" Dimaria asked, watching Wall create the rocket launcher.
"Correct. In just an instant, Fairy Tail will be turned to dust!" Wall responded to Dimaria, then began calibrating the weapon.
"Ultra-Long-Range Anti-Material Magic Cannon locked on target!" After emitting a mechanical, electronic-synthesized voice, the massive rocket launcher began to glow.
Bzzzt-
Soon, a dazzling magical light gathered at the front of the cannon barrel.
"Fire!"
Once the magical light had condensed sufficiently, a massive magic cannon shot forth with world-obliterating force, rushing towards the location of Fairy Tail.
At that moment, the very color of the sky and sea around them seemed to change due to the terrifying magic cannon.
Meanwhile, 400 kilometers away, in the Fairy Tail's guild hall, Warren's face drastically changed when he saw a high-temperature red dot moving towards the guild at an astonishing speed on his detection radar display.
"Not good! A mass of high-temperature magical energy is heading this way!"
"It's probably a magic cannon!"
"If it hits, the entire guild will be destroyed in an instant!"
Hearing Warren's words, Makarov's aged face also changed dramatically.
"Quick! Everyone, get out of here!"
"It's too late! The magic cannon is too fast!" Warren said despairingly.
However, just then, the high-speed magic cannon in the sky seemed to collide with something, resulting in a cataclysmic explosion.
And directly below the location of the explosion, a magic airship happened to be passing by.
This magic airship was naturally the one carrying Kenichi, Erza, and the others.
And the reason the magic cannon exploded was, of course, because it was intercepted by Kenichi.
"So? Was Fairy Tail destroyed?" On the warship, Dimaria asked casually.
"No. It failed." Although he failed, Wall wasn't disappointed… in fact, his fervor seemed even greater than before.
"No wonder they could defeat that guy Ajeel. They really do have some skill!"
