North Continent, Kiltina.
"Hey! Dogramag, don't sleep…"
"I've already confirmed Medivh's whereabouts."
'Flame God Dragon' Ignia stood high above an endless, colossal labyrinth. He looked down at the massive palace, still expanding below him, and said with a laugh.
"Huh?!"
'Earth God Dragon' Dogramag, who should have long since died and been removed from the ranks of the Dragon Gods, slowly condensed his human form after hearing Ignia's words. He looked up at Ignia in the sky and said coldly, "Are you sure?! Is he really on the Ishgar Continent?"
"There's no mistake…"
"If Medivh wasn't there, Erza, Selene, and Acnologia would have no reason to guard that continent so fiercely, preventing us from entering."
"Moreover, just today, those two women, after a hundred years, have once again engaged in a fierce battle! Besides fighting over a man, I really can't think of any other reason for their conflict."
Ignia sat cross-legged in the air, looking down at Dogramag below him, and chuckled sinisterly.
"Hahahaha…"
"Excellent! I can finally get my revenge."
Dogramag heard this and covered his face with his rough, large hand…
But even so, he still couldn't completely hide the ferocious expression beneath his palm.
"What do the other Dragon Gods say?"
Dogramag crossed his arms in front of him, looked at Ignia, and asked coldly.
"That 'Water God Dragon' Merkophovia is a coward; he's already abandoned his identity as a Dragon God! As for 'Jin God Dragon' Vielnes and 'Wood God Dragon' Aldoron, upon hearing news of Medivh, they chose to join our anti-Medivh alliance!"
"It's been four hundred years. It's time for that old geezer, who bullied us when we were young, to pay the price…"
As Ignia spoke, endless flames erupted from his body, incinerating the clouds in the sky.
At the same time.
The town transformed from the world's largest dragon, 'Wood God Dragon' Aldoron…
"Medivh…"
Was it a misconception or not?!
The people living in the town only felt their hearts tremble. The giant Dragon God, who had been sleeping beneath them for who knows how long, seemed to have moved just now.
At the same time, the words 'Medivh' seemed to echo in their ears.
"Is it a misconception?"
Everyone's expressions were filled with confusion.
Alchemy Guild Golden Owl.
"Has Medivh been found?"
A formless, shadowless existence, reduced to a mere concept, and in a sense, having achieved immortality and a promotion in status, murmured to itself at this moment.
Even though he had ascended to the noble status of a Dragon God, he still couldn't forget the memory of being severely spanked by Medivh when he was young. To eradicate this humiliation and resentment, he had no choice but to completely destroy Medivh.
Just as four of the six Dragon Gods in North Continent, Kiltina, had secretly formed an alliance.
Fairy Tail Guild.
Although Medivh didn't know that those dragon whelps had formed an alliance to deal with him, he wasn't worried at all. Besides planning to bring Erza and Selene into Fairy Tail, he also intended to find a time to directly confront Igneel, who was inside Natsu, and bring Igneel into his own camp.
"Ignia is nothing to fear!"
"It's just a father beating his son…"
Medivh sat at the bar, watching Natsu run around wildly with Gray's underwear in his hand, and yawned.
"Natsu, don't run, give me back my underwear…"
Gray chased closely behind Natsu, shouting loudly.
"If you want your underwear, catch me first!"
Natsu ran continuously around the Guild with a mischievous grin on his face.
By the way, Gray, whose underwear was stolen by Natsu, was completely naked now!
"Not suitable for minors."
With a wave of his hand, Medivh used Attachment magic to place a black basketball in front of Gray's little bird, to prevent the girls in the Guild from seeing anything inappropriate.
"Gray, I can't do anything with you."
"You actually lost your underwear…"
"How about this! Take my underwear and wear it properly."
As Gray's senior, Lyon naturally couldn't stand by and watch his junior go without clothes. He frowned, his expression showing helplessness. With a wave of his hand, he took off his own underwear and ceremoniously presented it to Gray.
This was his last pair of panties…
"Who wants your underwear, you idiot?!"
Upon seeing this, Gray immediately threw Lyon's underwear into the sky and roared.
"Gray, you…!"
"Don't you understand your senior's good intentions?!"
Lyon watched his good intentions being ruined by Gray, and he naturally couldn't stay calm. His veins bulged on his forehead as he pointed at Gray's nose and roared.
"Huh? Is this your good intention?"
"You're clearly disgusting me…"
Gray leaned close to Lyon, tilted his head, and said angrily.
"Ha…"
"You say I'm disgusting?"
"Do you want to fight?"
As Lyon spoke, he struck a pose for Ice Make Magic.
"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Gray also struck a pose for Ice Make Magic.
In an instant, the temperature in the Fairy Tail Guild hall plummeted.
"Calm down! Gray and Lyon, calm down!"
Ultear, who had been nearby trying to stop Ur from acting drunk, saw Gray and Lyon, who had somehow stripped naked, and walked over helplessly, trying to reason with the two.
"Calm down!"
"How can you expect us to calm down?!"
Gray and Lyon looked at Ultear and spoke in unison.
"You two brats."
Ultear's eyelids twitched when she heard this. She couldn't stop Ur, but surely she could handle these two brats, Gray and Lyon?!
"Mirajane, who allowed you to snatch my strawberry cake?!"
On the other side, Erza, holding a knight's sword, was locked in a tense standoff with Mirajane, who had snatched her strawberry cake when she wasn't looking.
"Who said this is your strawberry cake?"
"Does it have your name written on it?"
Mirajane had a smug look on her face as she ate the cake completely in front of Erza.
"Mirajane…"
Erza was too lazy to say more and immediately used Re-quip Magic, swinging her sword at Mirajane.
"Bring it on!"
"Our battle isn't over yet."
Upon seeing this, Mirajane immediately took on the Soul of Deliora. Her left hand transformed into a demon's claw, blocking Erza's attack.
"No way?!"
"Are Mirajane and Erza going to fight again?!"
Lisanna and Elfman exchanged glances, their expressions showing helplessness.
At this moment, Elfman had not yet started training his muscles and was still a frail young boy.
"Boom!!"
On the other side, a drunken Ur released an endless chill from her body. Around her, beautiful ice roses bloomed one after another within the Guild, attacking Gildarts.
"Buzz!"
Gildarts, clad in a cloak, stood still in place…
Any ice roses that attacked him shattered into countless ice shards under his invisible Crush Magic, without even having the chance to touch him.
"This level of attack is probably not enough…"
Gildarts was full of confidence. He casually shattered all of Ur's attacks and looked at her calmly, with the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Yes, this wasn't the Gildarts who was instantly defeated just now.
Gildarts was now getting back everything he lost to Erza and Selene from Ur.
Under the battles of Gray, Lyon, Ultear…
Erza and Mirajane, as well as Ur and Gildarts, the entire Fairy Tail Guild was soon drawn into the chaos.
"Damn it! Who threw a fork over here? That's dangerous!"
"Why are you stepping on my foot?!"
"If you want to fight, just say so. Who's afraid of whom?!"
One, two, three…
As they spoke, colorful magic circles immediately lit up within the Guild, their dazzling light deeply stinging Makarov's eyes.
"Damn it, stop it quickly…!"
"It's fine if you fight among yourselves, but please don't hurt the guests I invited."
"We'll have to pay for medical expenses…"
At this moment, Makarov no longer hoped that these brats would come to their senses and stop. He only hoped that the brats in the Guild wouldn't beat up the guests he had painstakingly invited.
After all, if they broke them, there would be compensation…
"It's okay, it's already happening."
The reporter from Magic Magazine Sorala pointed to his bruised and swollen face. He laughed, then collapsed and fell asleep. The punches were too heavy; he couldn't bear them.
"Hey! Pull yourself together…!"
"Don't sleep! Absolutely don't sleep!"
"You have countless news stories behind you. Now is not the time to rest."
In response, Makarov, feeling utterly exhausted, put his arm around the reporter's shoulder and encouraged him.
Well, no matter the final outcome…
Makarov's invitation to Sorala's reporter and editor-in-chief had successfully promoted the Fairy Tail Guild. It's just that the direction of the promotion seemed a little different from what Makarov had envisioned.
Never mind, these details aren't important.
Evening.
The Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild were now sprawled all over the floor…
With Erza and Selene's sudden appearance, the entire Harvest Festival was thrown into chaos.
The original beauty pageant and celebration were temporarily changed into a drinking and fighting competition.
After several hours of drinking and brawling, even the most powerful Magicians couldn't stand up anymore; everyone just collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
"Now, the parade tonight is going to be ruined!"
Makarov sat on the guild floor, looking at the messy scene and feeling like crying.
"Did I come to the wrong guild?!"
"What kind of hellish scene is this?!"
"I'd better leave as soon as possible..."
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Fairy Tail Guild...
A certain spiky-haired blonde, after pushing open the guild's front door, stared at the 'corpses' strewn across the floor and froze in place. He shivered and couldn't help but complain.
"Laxus..."
"I'm counting on you for the parade tonight!"
Just as Makarov was at a loss, he looked over at the sound and saw a certain spiky-haired blonde man, yawning as he walked into the guild...
The person who arrived was naturally Laxus. He had slipped away when the guild was in chaos, and he was currently the only guild member who had escaped unscathed.
"Huh?"
"I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all."
Cold sweat broke out on Laxus's forehead, looking like he wasn't good at it.
However, the truth was that he was saying one thing but meaning another...
The reason he came at this time was precisely to participate in the guild's parade.
Laxus had been greatly interested in parades since he was a child.
However, seeing that all the Magicians in the guild had collapsed, Laxus knew deep down that this event would probably not be able to proceed, which left him feeling a bit regretful.
"Laxus, you're the only one I can rely on now!"
"Please, lend me a hand quickly!"
Makarov pitifully held Laxus's hand, his eyes brimming with tears as he spoke.
"Absolutely not..."
Laxus's expression was cold; he decisively rejected Makarov, turning around as if intending to leave.
However, in reality...
It was simply because Laxus was purely tsundere and socially anxious.
After all, all blondes are tsundere.
Even Trump is the same...
Hmm, Medivh said it, and he doesn't accept any refutation.
"Yo! Laxus, where are you going?"
"Once you're here, don't even think about leaving..."
Unfortunately, just as Laxus was about to escape, two large hands suddenly landed on his left and right shoulders, pressing him firmly to the ground.
"Uh, what are you two doing? Let me go quickly..."
Laxus looked back and saw Gildarts and Medivh, both smiling like demons from hell, with no intention of letting him leave.
"We are all Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild; a family should always be together."
Medivh sneered and said loudly.
"Medivh is right..."
"Laxus, you should know that deserting in battle is not the behavior of a man."
"Don't let people see you and only think you're Makarov's grandson."
Gildarts' words were like arrows, piercing Laxus's heart.
"Huh?!"
"Don't call me Makarov's grandson!"
"I have my own name..."
"My name is Laxus Dreyar!"
Laxus was indeed provoked by Gildarts' words, getting all riled up like an electric mouse, jumping up and down and loudly emphasizing his identity. He wasn't anyone's grandson; he was just Laxus.
"Unfortunately, the world doesn't know that!"
"Yes, yes..."
"Everyone thinks you're just Makarov's grandson, Laxus."
"To make the world know your name, you must participate in today's parade."
Medivh and Gildarts, holding Laxus, spoke in unison.
"I'm truly fed up with you two."
"Isn't it just participating in this year's parade?"
"Just come..."
Laxus sighed deeply and said.
"Why didn't you just say that earlier?!"
"Kids, it's parade time!"
As Makarov's words fell, the Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild, who had been lying all over the floor, all climbed up, cheering loudly, "Oh! Parade time!"
"Huh?!"
Laxus finally realized that he had been tricked.
"Damn it, I was careless..."
Laxus muttered; he hadn't expected his grandfather, despite his old age, to still trick him, a seventeen-year-old.
All in all.
Accompanied by the dark sky!
The Fairy Tail Guild's float parade began.
Amidst the sky full of fireworks, several floats bearing the Fairy Tail emblem slowly moved along the streets. Both sides of the street were filled with residents of Magnolia Town and countless guests who had traveled from afar upon hearing that Fiore Kingdom's number one Magic Guild was holding a celebration.
"Is that 'Ten Wizard Saints' Ur?"
"As rumored, she's indeed a beauty..."
"Haha, I heard that Makarov, the current master of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail, is also one of the Saint Ten Wizard!"
"Really?"
"Two 'Ten Wizard Saints' in one guild?"
"Then aren't they invincible?"
The tourists on the street looked at the slowly moving floats with the Fairy Tail emblem and the Fairy Tail Magicians performing magic for the townspeople on the floats, discussing animatedly.
The most talked-about were Makarov and Ur, both members of the Saint Ten Wizard.
On the Ishgar Continent, a Magician granted the title of 'Ten Wizard Saints' by the Magic Council symbolized the highest standard in the eyes of the populace.
"But I heard..."
"The strongest Magician in the Fairy Tail Guild is named Gildarts or something..."
"Gildarts? I haven't heard much about him, but it sounds a bit familiar?!"
"Ah! I remember now..."
"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but that name is the same as the scumbag from the neighboring town who peeks into women's bathhouses..."
"Hahaha, it's probably a coincidence, right?"
Even among people from other towns, the topic of Magicians they discussed was invariably about who was the strongest in the Fairy Tail Guild. When someone mentioned Gildarts' name, although they didn't know his strength, in terms of being a scumbag, Gildarts was still top-tier in Fairy Tail, and this point was unshakable.
"That blonde guy, he's Makarov's grandson, right?"
"What was his name again? I completely forgot..."
At this moment, someone saw Laxus on the float. He only remembered that Laxus was Makarov's grandson, but he had no idea what Laxus's specific name was.
"Tsk..."
This caused Laxus's brow to furrow slightly.
"His name is Laxus..."
"In the near future, he will become the strongest Magician in the Fairy Tail Guild."
In the crowd, a purple-haired youth spoke thus.
The youth also seemed to be a Magician.
"Oh? Is it Laxus? What a good name."
As the youth's words fell, the residents discussing Laxus's name immediately nodded.
"Not bad! Laxus, you have a fan now."
"That's quite something!"
Medivh, on the float, took in this scene. He leaned close to Laxus, hooking his arm around Laxus's shoulder, and said with a chuckle.
"Isn't that obvious? Don't underestimate my popularity."
Laxus snorted, seemingly disdainful of it all...
In reality, Laxus took a deep look at his fan in the crowd and imprinted the person's face in his mind.
This guy was such a tsundere.
Just as the festive atmosphere reached its peak with the Fairy Tail Guild's float parade, Makarov, wearing cat-ear decorations and looking like a circus worker, suddenly stood at the highest point, the center stage of the float.
Makarov raised his right hand high, his index finger pointing skyward. With high fighting spirit, he declared loudly: "Whether the enemy is human, a dragon, or any other monster! Anyone who stands against the Fairy Tail Guild, bring it on! Fairy Tail will never lose, because we are the Magicians of Fairy Tail!"
"We are the Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild!"
At this moment, every member of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail, or anyone who was kindred spirits with a member of the Fairy Tail Guild, raised their right hand high, just like Makarov, their index finger pointing to the sky.
No matter where they were, their hearts were connected.
