Within the Stella Kingdom.
"It looks like it's snowing!"
"This is really strange..."
"Winter should be over by now; it should be the season of warmth and blooming flowers."
The citizens looked up at the sky, watching the pure white snow fall, muttering to themselves.
Logically, it was already April, long past the cold winter, and should have been the season of warmth and blooming flowers, with no snow falling...
But the vast snow was indeed falling, so the current season was truly strange and unpredictable!
"Boom!"
Just as the citizens of the Stella Kingdom were at a loss.
In front of the Stella Kingdom's royal palace gate.
The S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild had already charged over.
Yes, merely repelling the Stella Kingdom's army that invaded the Fiore Kingdom was not enough for these Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild!
They still needed to continue fighting...
No choice, who made fighting so exhilarating?!
So, after a brief discussion, they decided to press on towards the enemy army's main base, fighting all the way into the Stella Kingdom, intending to go all out and directly capture the arrogant King of the Stella Kingdom.
"Boom!!"
However, Animus, the King of the Stella Kingdom, seemed to have already anticipated that the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild would come...
Animus had already taken a step ahead and prepared measures to deal with the Fairy Tail Guild's Mages in front of the palace. He had dispatched thousands of guards to wait outside the palace gate in advance, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Fairy Tail Guild's Mages.
Among them, the three individuals standing at the forefront of these guards were the three strongest warriors he had specially selected from the vast Stella Kingdom...
They were known as the Empire's Three Stars: Swan, Dol, and Capri.
Swan was a beautiful female warrior with wheat-colored skin, lotus-colored long hair, and silver-white armor, and she was also the leader of the Three Stars, the strongest among them.
At this moment, when Erza, Eresh, Gildarts, and the others truly invaded the Stella Kingdom and fought their way to the palace front...
Swan finally erupted in anger. She glared at the invaders from the Mage Guild Fairy Tail and warned loudly, "Hey! Do you guys know where this is? This is the palace of King Animus! If you take one more step forward, I will consider your actions a provocation against our Stella Kingdom's King, His Majesty Animus! At that time, I will have the right to execute you directly."
"Boom!!"
Unfortunately, before Swan could say more...
Accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, Swan, one of the Empire's Three Stars, along with the other two stars beside her, and the thousands of Stella Kingdom soldiers guarding the palace, were all engulfed by an endless surge of freezing air, instantly turning into one ice sculpture after another.
"Ur-senpai, aren't you being a bit too much?!"
Mirajane, Laxus, Erza, and the others, who had just prepared for battle and intended to continue fighting fiercely, twitched slightly at the corners of their eyes upon seeing this, and protested to the master of this ice, Ur, who was currently the Chief of the Saint Ten Wizard.
"Hmph..."
In response, Ur exhaled a puff of cold air. She slowly withdrew her magic, smiled faintly at Erza and the others, and whispered, "Oh, sorry~ I was a little careless and forgot to hold back my strength. I instantly wiped out all the enemies, but it's not my fault. Who told them their strength was really weak?!"
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"
Unfortunately, Laxus, Erza, and the others did not believe Ur's words...
When they heard Ur's Versailles-like remarks, they all stopped their actions and, in unison, stared at Ur's face with suspicious eyes, putting pressure on Ur's heart while asking questions.
"Ahaha..."
Ur heard this and laughed heartily to hide her guilt.
Yes, she did it on purpose! Who told Gildarts and the others to have such a blast fighting those Fourth Generation Dragon Slayers created and controlled by Animus earlier? They didn't even leave her a single opponent!
"In short, capture the king first..."
"Let's go inside and see!"
At this moment, Gildarts, who was the most composed and calm among them, after glancing at Ur and the others, walked directly to the magnificent palace gate and gently pushed the palace door with his hand.
"Boom!!"
As expected, the Stella Palace gate, upon intimate contact with Gildarts' hand, immediately shattered into pieces under the power of Gildarts' unconsciously activated highest-level offensive magic, Crush, and then turned into ruins.
"Sorry about that!"
"I also accidentally used too much force."
Gildarts looked at the palace, which he had destroyed using Crush Magic, and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Then, he didn't forget to turn his head to look at Erza and the others, seemingly apologizing.
"Who are you kidding?!"
"I knew you'd say that! Damn old man..."
Erza and the others, seeing this, twitched slightly at the corners of their eyes, their expressions filled with helplessness.
Gildarts must have done it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!
"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."
Just then, a round of applause suddenly echoed from within the palace, reaching everyone's ears. King Animus, dressed in an emperor's robe, with short golden hair and a handsome face...
He was walking out of the palace hall step by step, coming directly before these S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild. A faint smile hung on his face as he softly said, "As expected of the Mages from the number one Mage Guild on the Ishgar continent, Fairy Tail. Your strength is truly well-deserved! Even I must announce here that you have successfully passed my assessment of you. I must say you've done well. The mission is now complete, and you may return home!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
In response, Erza and Eresh exchanged glances, then drew their swords from their waists and held them to Animus's neck, asking coldly.
"Uh-huh..."
"Damn it, that scoundrel Kurnugi's backup plan is useless. I couldn't just easily brush this off."
Animus sneered with a somewhat difficult expression.
"Let's just beat him up first."
Gildarts sized up Animus, then gently stroked his chin, and after a moment of thought, suggested.
"Makes sense."
In response, Gildarts' suggestion received unanimous approval from the S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild!
Well, regardless of right or wrong...
Or if this scoundrel Animus truly had some unspeakable difficulties regarding the invasion of the Fiore Kingdom?!
For them, the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild, it simply didn't matter!
