"Snap!"
With a crisp snap of his fingers, a brilliant erald-green magic circle ford beneath Ron's feet.
Pulsating with vibrant life, it flew straight overhead like a streak of light.
As soon as the two touched, the erald magic circle rged directly into the core of the dark gray magic circle and vanished.
"Hmph, foolish!"
Jose, suppressed by Makarov, let out a disdainful sneer at the sight.
"This is forbidden magic. Do you really think you can crack it in such a short ti? You're far too naiv—... Huh?!"
Jose's mocking voice ca to an abrupt halt, turning into a pitch-shifted cry of alarm.
"This... how is this possible?!"
The magic circle that was originally devouring life and emitting the breath of death was now trembling violently, as if it had t its natural enemy.
The touch of erald that rged into it was like a virus invading a system, spreading frantically along the original patterns. The runes representing "Plunder" and "Death" were forcibly distorted, rewritten, and then reorganized!
In an instant, the dark gray magic circle had turned into a vibrant erald green!
"Hum—"
The motes of light gathering toward the top floor suddenly stagnated.
A mont later, the majestic torrent of life flowed back along its original path!
Inside the ground floor hall, the Phantom Lord mbers who only had one breath left suddenly felt a warm current surge into their limbs and bones.
Their shriveled bodies were restored, and their depleted magic sources began to fill up.
"I... I'm not dead? Hahaha, I'm not dead!!!"
"Magic... my magic is back?!"
The hall, which just seconds ago was like a living hell on earth, was now filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
"Phew..."
Ron raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
That move just now seed easy, and it wasn't actually very dangerous, but it did take so effort.
But after all, he had experience reversing magic, and compared to Iced Shell, reversing this magic was quite a bit simpler.
"In the future, rember to speak your taunts a bit slower, otherwise... it's easy to get slapped in the face!"
"You... how on earth did you do it? This is forbidden magic!"
Jose's face was full of disbelief.
In just a short ti, Ron had made him lose his composure several tis, truly because the other's actions exceeded his expectations every ti.
"How did I do it..."
Ron suddenly thought of sothing. His eyes darted around, and he placed his right fist over his mouth.
"I admit there was an elent of gambling. Although the timing was a bit thrilling, it seems... the result is pretty good?"
'Gambling?'
Jose's expression relaxed slightly, and he snorted coldly. "Consider yourselves lucky this ti! I didn't expect you to stumble upon a way to crack this magic."
Hearing this, Ron suddenly laughed heartily.
"Guild Master Jose, are you a child? You believe whatever I say?"
"I originally intended to play with you a bit, but all I got in return was a misunderstanding..."
Ron put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head slightly, his tone mocking and flamboyant.
"No more pretending. I indeed saw through that magic. I'm laying my cards on the table."
"Thanks to the previous Lullaby incident, I have a fairly good understanding of magic involving the source of souls and life."
"I can't reverse Iced Shell, but do you think I can't reverse this magic of yours?"
"But seriously, Jose, you're really disgusting."
Ignoring Jose's increasingly ugly expression, Ron's smile faded, and his eyes beca cold and disgusted.
"The emblem that originally symbolized the guild was used by you as a dium for forbidden magic. Such a thod is truly not the work of a legitimate guild master. It's simply... more despicable than a Dark Guild!"
"Well said!"
Makarov stepped back and stood in front of Ron, his gaze alertly guarding against the low-pressure Jose.
At the sa ti, he lowered his voice and whispered a reminder.
"Brat, although everything you said is true, show a little restraint..."
"Jose is a sinister fellow, petty and vengeful. If you provoke him like this, what if he really goes crazy and tries to kill you at all costs?"
Ron turned his head sharply and looked at his old man in shock.
"Old man, you don't seem to be any better yourself!"
"Is that so? I'll pay attention next ti, next ti, hahahaha..."
"Good, good, good..."
Just as Makarov was laughing awkwardly, Jose's voice was frighteningly calm.
"What a fine Fairy Tail, what a fine Heterochromic Ron..."
Then, right before their eyes, the Thought Projection shattered and dissipated.
"Hmm? This is?"
Ron was stunned for a mont and blinked in surprise.
"He ran away? Or... did he die of anger?"
"Probably not... That guy may be petty, but he wouldn't die of anger from just a few words. By the way..."
Makarov looked at Ron and asked in confusion.
"You said the Heartfilia heiress is in our guild. Who is it?"
"No way, old man, you haven't guessed yet? It's obviously Lucy, who joined recently!"
"Oh hahaha, is that so? I really didn't expect it..."
"Heh, I'm afraid you only noticed her figure, you lecherous old man!"
"Nonsense!!! Am I that kind of person? It's just that Lucy's behavior really doesn't look like that of a rich young lady."
"Ron, you've been getting less and less respectful of this old man lately."
"Sure, sure..." Ron curled his lip and gave a perfunctory reply.
"Rumble—!!!"
A huge roar suddenly ca from the distance, and the entire earth trembled violently.
"What's going on?! Is this an earthquake?!"
"It's late at night, how long is this going to last? I'm definitely going to complain about them tomorrow!!!"
"Heavens! What is that thing?! It's too big..."
"A castle?! It's a moving castle!!!"
"..."
The residents of Magnolia Town, already awakened by the battle between the two guilds, were even more terrified to see a giant chanical Castle walking toward them.
On the top floor of the Phantom Lord Guild, Makarov and Ron also saw that massive object.
Makarov instantly put away his playful expression. "Is that... Phantom Lord?"
"Looking at the pattern on it, it should be." Ron nodded.
"I heard that the Phantom Lord Headquarters is a chanical Castle with teleportation magic. I didn't expect him to drive it here. It seems he's truly furious."
As the two spoke, the front of the chanical fortress opened, revealing a huge cannon barrel.
"Zzzzt—"
At the muzzle, dark purple high-density magic power gathered frantically, and the surrounding space distorted and deford due to this terrifying energy.
"Fairy Tail, this is the end."
Jose's cold, emotionless voice, magnified, echoed over the entire Magnolia Town.
"In the face of absolute power, all cleverness is futile!"
"Magic Convergence Cannon: Jupiter, fire!!!"
"Boom—!!!"
With a loud bang, a dark purple energy pillar containing destructive power pierced the night sky, heading straight for the Phantom Lord Guild in the center of Magnolia Town!
"Damn it! That lunatic!" the two cursed simultaneously.
"Ron, stay right here. As the parent of this guild, it's not your turn to stand in front!"
Makarov spoke as he shot forward.
The next second, the short old man in the distance grew rapidly, instantly transforming into a giant that reached the sky!
Facing the howling beam of destruction, golden light flashed in the giant's hands. He pushed forward with both palms, directly cutting off Jupiter's advance.
A terrifying energy storm spread frantically in all directions.
Makarov gave a loud shout, and as his hands crossed, the majestic energy pillar dissipated without a trace in his hands.
"Huff... huff..."
As the light faded, Makarov panted heavily, and the magic fluctuations on his body weakened a bit.
Clearly, after the battle with Jose just now, even with his ability, taking a blast from the magic-guided cannon head-on took a significant toll.
"Jose! You bastard! Do you want to involve the innocent people of Magnolia Town too?!"
"Heh, Makarov, you're really naive..."
Jose's voice remained calm and steady.
"From the mont you started ruining my plans over and over again, everything beca irrecoverable."
"How much strength do you have left? Can you... block this?"
With a series of clicks, the chanical fortress directly transford into a magic-guided giant and began to draw a complex, massive magic circle in the void.
"That magic circle is..."
Makarov stared at the magic circle, his expression extrely grave.
"Abyss Break!!!"
"With this size... does he want to wipe out Magnolia Town along with us?!"
