Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Makarov: Fiore Kingdom is doomed! Really, I'm not lying…

"Don't worry!"

"This attack isn't for you…"

As Medivh spoke, he used his mental power to control the clouds and the Magic Array in the sky.

He slightly changed the direction of the Magic Array, which was originally aimed at Magnolia Town to release magic…

"…Star Collapse!"

Immediately after…

A giant meteor, over a hundred meters in diameter, enveloped in a blazing fiery coat, streaked across the clouds above everyone's heads at a speed far exceeding that of sound, trailing a long tail, and plummeted towards the edge of Magnolia Town.

Undoubtedly, this level of magic was no longer something humans could control.

Ordinary people would refer to what they saw as a natural disaster and the might of nature.

"Me-Meteor?!"

"Are you kidding me? Did I see that right?"

"Is this power, which belongs to nature, something a human can summon?"

The tourists standing on Makarov's shoulders were all terrified at this moment…

Especially since, unlike the townspeople on the ground, they were hundreds of meters up in the sky at this moment, and when the meteor streaked over their heads, they could feel the terrifying impact and scorching energy it brought, almost within arm's reach.

It was only at this moment that they gradually realized that perhaps this was not a show.

Getting hit by something like that would truly kill people.

"Hey! I say…"

"Medivh, did the meteor you summoned go off course?!"

Seeing this, Ur raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, she had originally planned to freeze the meteor in the sky along with Medivh's Magic Array, but now it seemed there was no chance…

"Of course, it didn't go off course."

"I told you, this meteor isn't for you…"

"It's for someone else in Fairy Tail."

Medivh looked at Ur and explained seriously.

"Someone else?"

"Besides Ur, is there anyone else in our Fairy Tail Guild who can block the True Heavenly Body Magic: Star Collapse that you just cast, Medivh?!"

Makarov pondered deeply upon hearing this.

"Master, you should have some confidence in your Guild!"

"We are the strongest Magic Guild on the Ishgar continent, and as the Magicians who are the face of the strongest Guild, how could there only be me and Ur?"

"Besides, Master, have you forgotten…"

"The true strongest in our Fairy Tail Guild?!"

Medivh looked at the aged Makarov, who was clearly starting to become forgetful, and couldn't help but remind him.

"The true strongest in Fairy Tail Guild?"

"Could it be that guy…"

Ur seemed to understand Medivh's meaning…

So much so that an extremely wretched figure gradually appeared in her mind.

Although that guy, as a companion, was indeed very reassuring…

"You mean Gildarts is back?!"

Makarov's mouth fell open, speaking in disbelief.

It's over.

This guy is even more of a heavyweight.

That bastard Gildarts, he comes back at the worst possible time…

He just had to come back when Makarov was holding Fairy Tail Guild's annual fighting tournament, wasn't this just adding to the chaos?!

No…

To hell with his fighting tournament!

Makarov himself was getting sidetracked.

What he was holding was clearly the 24-hour Endurance Race.

On the other side.

"Huh?!"

"Is that a meteor?"

"Goodness, I've lived long enough to experience everything."

At the edge of Magnolia Town, a middle-aged man with short orange-red hair, a slicked-back hairstyle, and a dark brown cloak, instinctively looked up after feeling the pressure from the sky.

When the man saw the enormous meteor descending from the sky, his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, a look of helplessness on his face, and he raised his right hand, softly saying, "Goodness, please spare me!"

"Boom!!!"

Just as the man finished speaking, a translucent white light immediately illuminated his raised right hand, and the light radiated towards the sky, enveloping the descending meteor… "Boom!"

Immediately after, there was a huge roar that echoed throughout the town…

The meteor, which was hundreds of meters in diameter and had been approaching menacingly, capable of instantly reducing the entire town to ashes, immediately turned into countless fragments too small for the naked eye to see.

Not only that, even the Celestial Magic Array that Medivh had painstakingly maintained in the sky, along with the dark clouds that enveloped the entire Magnolia Town, all turned into infinite dust at this moment.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

At the same time, a bell rang from the high tower of Magnolia Town, echoing throughout the town like an air-raid siren…

"Warning! Warning…"

"Magician Gildarts of Fairy Tail Guild detected."

"From now on, the town will change to Gildarts mode."

"Repeating, from now on, the town will change to Gildarts mode."

Accompanied by one reminder after another…

The entire town began to deform in an orderly fashion, clearing away all buildings that blocked Gildarts's path before he could fully enter the town, forcibly creating a direct path to the Fairy Tail Guild for Gildarts.

Well, people say you can't change the world, only yourself.

How strong exactly is Gildarts?!

He is a man who uses 'Supreme Destruction Magic,' commonly known as Crush Magic among Super Magic, as his basic magic…

So much so that, in a 'physical' sense, he makes the entire world change for him.

Gildarts's life motto: "Huh? You say there's no path ahead? Just Crush all the obstacles blocking our way forward, and won't there be a path to continue on?!"

This is a man who rarely looks back.

"I'm back."

When Gildarts gently pushed open the Guild's door, what greeted him was an empty, deserted hall. He frowned, a hint of confusion in his expression: "That's strange, where's the old man Master, and all the companions who are always drinking and making noise in the Guild? Where did they all go?"

"Gildarts, can you hear me?"

Just as Gildarts was wondering, a telepathic message sounded in his mind.

"Ah, it's Medivh, right?"

Gildarts looked startled, thought for about three seconds, and then reacted.

"Come quickly to the Fairy Tail back mountain, we're having a competition."

Medivh's words were brief; although he could use telepathy magic, he wasn't very proficient with it.

"Got it, the back mountain, right?"

Gildarts said, choosing a direction and walking on his own.

After crushing all the tables and chairs that stood in his way and blocked his progress, along with the walls that blocked his path, he strode towards the Fairy Tail back mountain.

"Hey! You're Ur, right?"

When Gildarts saw Ur, who was dressed in very revealing clothes, his eyes lit up a bit. He gave Ur a thumbs-up and praised her heartily: "As always, an excellent figure…"

"Indeed."

To this, Medivh and Makarov both nodded simultaneously.

"So, what's the situation here?"

Gildarts's expression turned serious as he asked Ur and Medivh.

"As you can see, the 24-hour Endurance Race."

Medivh crossed his arms in front of him, explaining the current situation.

"You can also understand it as a fighting tournament."

Ur further explained.

"I see, I think I understand."

"So, that means I've caught the Fairy Tail Guild's annual 24-hour Endurance Fighting Tournament?! I'm really lucky."

Gildarts suddenly understood, muttering.

"That's right."

Medivh and Ur exchanged glances, then said in unison.

"In that case, let's stop talking nonsense and fight!"

Gildarts finished speaking, slightly stretching his neck, producing a series of 'crunch, crunch' sounds.

At this moment, the magic power within him, like a waking dragon, slowly released and coiled around him.

"No? Gildarts VS Ur VS Medivh?"

"If they start fighting here, the entire town, along with the entire kingdom, will disappear, right?!"

Old Makarov was numb.
