Inside the Fairy Tail's guild hall, Warren kept a constant watch on the detection radar in front of him.
As Warren saw the enemies displayed on the detection radar gradually decreasing, the joy on his face grew more and more pronounced.
"Natsu and Gajeel's Dragon Team have completely wiped out the enemies in the east!"
"Gray and Elfman have also suppressed the enemies in the north!"
"Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe have gained an absolute advantage in the west as well!"
"And this is... just a moment ago, that abnormally massive magical power in the south suddenly vanished! The Magic King! The Magic King was defeated by Kenichi!"
Hearing this series of positive reports from Warren, Macao, Romeo, and the others were overjoyed.
Especially upon hearing the news that the Magic King had been defeated, everyone cheered.
"As expected of Kenichi!"
"I can already see victory in this war!"
...
Seeing everyone's excitement, Makarov, who had been tense all along, also relaxed a little.
"That's wonderful, Third Generation," a clear female voice sounded by Makarov's ear.
Then, Mavis, barefoot, walked up to Makarov's side.
Seeing Mavis appear suddenly, Makarov didn't show any surprise.
After all, Mavis often appeared in the guild!
Makarov and the others were quite used to it.
"It's all thanks to the children's efforts," Makarov said, also somewhat moved.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Just as everyone in the guild was cheering, the detection radar at the front of the hall suddenly sounded a series of alarms.
"This is..." Warren looked at the suddenly chaotic detection radar. The smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by horror.
"Warren, what's wrong?" Noticing the abnormality, Makarov walked up behind Warren and asked gravely.
"Master! Just a moment ago, the entire topography of the Ishgar Continent changed!"
"Everyone who was originally near Magnolia is now scattered to various different locations!"
"The guild... the guild is isolated! There are enemies everywhere outside now! We're surrounded!"
As soon as Warren said this, Macao, Romeo, and the others were all shocked.
"What? The entire Ishgar Continent's topography changed?"
"How can that be?" Macao, Romeo, and the others spoke with disbelief.
"Third Generation, this is probably the enemy's magic!" Mavis looked at the detection radar ahead, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Of course, what shocked Mavis wasn't being surrounded by the enemy.
What shocked her was the enemy's ability to change the entire Ishgar Continent's topography in an instant.
After all, that was an entire continent.
Just imagining it was terrifying.
"Damn it! The advantage everyone worked so hard to build..." Makarov clenched his fists tightly, his face full of unwillingness.
"Warren, find a way to inform everyone of the guild's location! I'll hold off the enemies outside!" Makarov said to Warren with a stern face.
"Master..." Warren knew the situation outside all too well.
The guild was completely surrounded by enemies now.
Even if Makarov was strong, he couldn't possibly hold off so many enemies alone.
In Warren's view, if Makarov went out, it would be extremely dangerous.
Warren originally wanted to persuade Makarov not to be impulsive, but seeing the determination on Makarov's face, he knew that saying more would be an insult to that resolve.
"Yes, Master!" As if infected by Makarov's resolve, Warren, who had been somewhat despairing, responded heavily to Makarov.
"Everyone, can you hear me? This is the guild..." Just as Warren used his Telepathy Magic to connect with the scattered Fairy Tail's members, Makarov resolutely walked towards the guild entrance.
"Third Generation..." Mavis watched Makarov's retreating back, seemingly touched in her heart.
Soon, Macao, Romeo, and the others followed Makarov and rushed towards the guild entrance.
The moment Makarov and the others stepped out of the guild doors, they saw that the original town of Magnolia had vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of ruins.
The Fairy Tail Guild stood in the center of the ruins, and on the plaza of the ruins, millions of Alvarez Empire's soldiers were spread out like a carpet over every inch of the land...
Although Macao and the others had mentally prepared themselves, seeing so many enemies ahead made their hearts sink as if plunged into an ice cellar, feeling utterly cold.
Macao was so frightened his face turned pale and his legs trembled!
"Romeo, all of you, get back inside the guild! Leave this to me!" Makarov, standing in front of everyone, seemed to sense Romeo's fear and spoke gravely.
"Master..." Hearing Makarov's words, Romeo regained some composure.
At this moment, Makarov's small silhouette appeared incredibly majestic in his vision.
"Hurry back inside!" Makarov scolded Romeo again.
As he spoke, Makarov had already brought his palms together.
"This stance is..." Seeing the posture Makarov assumed, Macao's expression changed slightly. Then, as if understanding something, he immediately pulled Romeo and the others, retreating back into the guild.
"Fools of the Western Continent! I won't let you take a single step into my guild!" After Macao and the others returned to the guild, Makarov roared loudly.
Simultaneously, his clasped palms instantly erupted with an intensely brilliant light.
"Face judgment!"
"Fairy Law... Activate!"
At that moment, a massive pillar of light descended from the sky.
The Alvarez Empire's soldiers gathered near the Fairy Tail Guild were completely swallowed by this fairy-like radiance.
Simultaneously, Erza, Mirajane, and the others, scattered to various locations, also seemed to see the pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
At this moment, that pillar of light was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding the scattered people 'home'!
"Master!" Erza looked at the pillar of light connecting the sky and land, uttered these words with a sense of loss, then rushed towards the direction of the light pillar together with Wendy.
"Old man..." Laxus, standing on a rock, also stopped and looked at that pillar of light.
