Chapter 290: The Fairy's Heart
"Unlock!"
Standing before the sealed door, Makarov used a special unsealing magic to lift the complex and powerful seal on the door.
"Our Fairy Tail guild harbors an extremely important secret, a secret known only to the guild master, and this secret concerns the safety of the entire world.
Back then, Ivan was expelled from the guild because he deceived me into revealing part of this secret's information, intending to use it to cooperate with dark guilds and dominate the entire continent."
"Concern the safety of the entire world!"
George's expression froze; it seemed he had guessed wrong. This sealed chamber was not the location of Fairy Tail's three great super magics but something even more important.
Although the three great super magics were indeed powerful, they shouldn't be enough to affect the safety of the whole world.
At the same time, it greatly piqued his curiosity.
"Come in with me!"
Makarov led George into the chamber, arriving before a giant crystal, pointing at it and saying:
"This is the greatest secret of our Fairy Tail guild—the Fairy's Heart, also called Lumen Histoire and the Myth of Light."
"Huh?"
George looked at the crystal before him, his face full of shock.
Because it wasn't a proper-looking crystal, nor was there any kind of heart; instead, inside was a naked little girl, sealed, her state of life or death unknown.
But the next second, when his senses invaded the crystal, his expression changed drastically:
"What a powerful magic power!"
From the crystal and the sealed little girl, he sensed a massive magical force far surpassing his own and that of all the mages he had ever seen.
"Who is she, a fairy?"
"She is not a fairy. She is the first guild master who created our Fairy Tail guild—Mavis Vermillion."
Makarov explained the general situation to George.
When the Fairy Tail guild was at its most prosperous, the first guild master, Mavis, suddenly passed the position to the second guild master and then disappeared.
Later one day, the second guild master found the first guild master's corpse at the guild entrance—though it couldn't exactly be called a corpse because although her heart had stopped beating, her vast magical power was still operating, resembling a living dead.
Thus, the second guild master placed the first guild master into a magic crystal and began thirty years of research.
Using various experiments and magic, they attempted to revive the first guild master, but all attempts failed.
However, due to the fusion of various strange magics, by a stroke of fate, the first guild master's body came to possess infinite magical power.
For instance, the Etherion, which the Magic Council needed many years to gather enough power to fire, could be fired at will using the first guild master's body as a magic source.
If someone with ill intentions obtained the first guild master's body, they could potentially use the infinite, vast magical power to destroy the entire world.
Thus, the Fairy Tail guild also bears the responsibility of guarding the first guild master's body and protecting the world.
"It seems this world truly has hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
After listening to Makarov's explanation, George couldn't help but sigh.
He also possessed infinite magic power, but his infinite magic was not on the same level as the first guild master's body.
If he were to recharge Etherion, he would probably have to work tirelessly for several years to fill it up once.
However, the first guild master's body could achieve this in the blink of an eye—this was the difference.
Also, from this story, he not only learned the origin of the Fairy's Heart but also sensed that the mages in this world might be even stronger than he had previously perceived.
The first guild master looked so small yet was capable of creating the three great super magics—such talent was truly terrifying.
The crucial point was that such a powerful first guild master could still be defeated and turned into a vegetable when going out, indicating that there were many even stronger mages hidden in this world.
The slight sense of superiority he had after defeating Laxus instantly vanished without a trace.
"This secret is for you to know only. Come here."
Makarov brought George to a cabinet inside the chamber and took out three magic books, handing them to George.
"These are our Fairy Tail's three great super magics—Fairy Law, Fairy Glitter, and Fairy Sphere.
I have only mastered Fairy Law. Before you depart, I will try to explain the key points to you, but as for the other two magics, you will need to study them slowly on your own."
Looking at the three thick magic books, George suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded seriously.
Study, he must study—such powerful magic was worth spending a great deal of time mastering.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that he had to complete Animagus in the Harry Potter world within two months, he would have wanted to postpone going to the Northern Continent and first learn the three great super magics.
After obtaining the three super magic books and learning from Makarov how to open and close the chamber's seal, George didn't go back upstairs but focused on memorizing the magic books in the library.
Originally, he absolutely wouldn't have been allowed to take the three great super magic books away; he had to memorize them before leaving for the hundred-year quest.
But this wasn't difficult for him. Taking out the Song of the Wind glasses, concentrating the brains of all his clones here simultaneously, it took him less than an hour to imprint the entire contents of the three magic books into his mind.
"Truly worthy of being called the three great super magics!"
Among Fairy Tail's three great super magics, the easiest to learn was Fairy Law. With a foundation in light magic, one could learn it, and its power was extremely strong, but it had a fatal flaw.
That was, after using it, it would consume life force and lifespan—the stronger and more numerous the enemies, the greater the consumption.
As for lifespan, he didn't care—having already obtained immortality, he had infinite lifespan to consume.
As for life force, his body was strengthened by multiple clone physiques and had absorbed dragon crystals from two worlds; as long as it wasn't completely drained at once, he should be able to recover.
If he could fuse this world's dragon crystals too, he would be able to expend even more.
In fact, compared to the magic's power, this flaw wasn't much because when dealing with enemies of similar strength, the consumption wasn't that large.
The difficulty of learning the latter two super magics was extremely high, but they made George's eyes shine.
Fairy Glitter was no less powerful than Fairy Law; it could collect the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars, condensing it into a merciless light descending from the heavens to obliterate all enemies.
This magic had no flaw of consuming lifespan or life force but was very difficult to learn.
First, it required an extremely high level of light magic—so high that even Makarov couldn't learn it, indicating just how high the requirement was.
If George wanted to learn it, his light magic proficiency had to at least surpass Makarov's.
Second, he needed to have an extremely strong magic power—at least at the Saint Ten level—which he already possessed.
Third, he needed extremely high magic control ability; otherwise, it would be like a child holding a gun—powerful but hard to aim properly.
