As battles raged across the various fronts, the fight between Jose and Makarov was equally intense.
At Phantom Lord's Mobile Castle:
"Boom!"
Makarov's figure was sent flying, crashing directly into the Guild building.
"Master!"
"Guild Master!"
The Fairy Tail Guild instantly collapsed. Those who were fighting looked towards the ruins, then at their Guild Master, who had fallen into a disadvantageous position, and roared in anguish.
Gray, who had just defeated his opponent, instantly changed his expression. He threw Juvia directly onto the ground and ran towards the Guild Master.
"What's wrong, Makarov? Is this all your strength? You've disappointed me greatly." Jose Bora flapped his wings, hovering in the air, looking down and mocking Makarov, who was now gasping for breath.
"It's not over yet. As a parent, with children behind me who need protection, how could it end like this?"
Makarov's body slowly shrank, returning to its original size. He brought his hands together slightly, and a golden light emerged from them. The light intensified, and his body slowly ascended to be level with Jose.
Jose looked at the light in Makarov's hands, and his heart tightened, as if something bad was about to happen.
"This is as far as you go."
As Makarov roared, a giant golden magic circle appeared above the town, directly covering the entire area. Everyone in Fairy Tail felt the warm light.
The enemies who were opposing Fairy Tail seemed to be locked down by an unknown force, directly pressed to the ground, unable to move, deeply fearing the light from the sky.
Gajeel was also pressed onto a house, unable to move. "How can this be!" he exclaimed, looking in astonishment as Cana walked step by step towards him, completely unharmed.
Elfman, too, lifted Sol, who had been beaten black and blue by him, and looked at the golden magic circle in the sky.
"Guild Master, leave the rest to me."
A figure suddenly appeared beside the Guild Master, grabbing the hand the Guild Master was preparing to use for Fairy Law. In an instant, the golden magic circle in the sky vanished.
"Zorn?" The Guild Master looked at the suddenly appearing Zorn, surprised, and exclaimed.
"Guild Master Grandpa, using Fairy Law on him would be letting him off too easily. Leave the rest to me. I'll make him understand the price of provoking Fairy Tail."
After Zorn finished speaking, he placed his hand on the Guild Master's shoulder, instantly teleporting the Guild Master next to Natsu. Then he said to Natsu, "Take the Guild Master to Porlyusica."
"Zorn, you kid..." The Guild Master looked at the figure high in the distance, still in shock, when Natsu slung him onto his back and ran towards the small wooden house.
"Natsu, put me down..."
"No."
After the two ran off, only Totomaru, who had already been defeated and was lying unconscious on the ground like a corpse, remained.
...
"Your Guild Master is no match for me, what can you do, Zorn? How much magic power do you have left right now?"
Jose glared fiercely at Zorn, recalling the humiliation he had suffered. His magic power was fully unleashed, and a dark, evil magic enveloped his entire body.
This was a completely different state from when he was fighting the Guild Master, because he had truly been shocked by Makarov's final move. So, when facing Zorn, he decided to go all out.
Zorn did not answer Jose's question. Golden magic power erupted from him, directly forming a magic armor that covered his entire body, just like during the S-Class Exam, displaying his full strength to confront Jose.
The two instantly charged at each other. Zorn immediately conjured a light sword in his hand, each strike incredibly sharp. Jose also condensed dark magic in his hands. Their attacks instantly formed two domains, one light and one dark.
Above their heads, two invisible auras, one light and one dark, appeared, tearing at each other. The sky darkened due to their immense magic power, with lightning and thunder. The seawater was also drawn into the air by the powerful magic, creating waterspouts.
"So strong, they've actually changed the weather!"
The various Guild Members nearby were deeply shaken by the scene before them.
"Impossible, impossible! How can you still be so strong!"
Jose was slashed in the chest by Zorn's sword. He clutched the bleeding wound, looking at Zorn in disbelief. He had clearly endured unbearable pain to gain this power, yet he was only barely able to fight Zorn to a draw.
"Your illusion has truly harmed you! The gap between us is like a chasm. My magic power can be restored anytime by sunlight." Zorn dispelled the light sword in his hand into specks of light. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and countless light swords appeared around him, all pointing at Jose at Zorn's command.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Jose completely went mad, jumping directly onto the giant castle. His body fully merged with it, and all his magic power surged into the castle. The Magic Convergence Cannon, which was previously charging, immediately activated, condensing at an even faster rate.
It was also aimed at Zorn. At this moment, Zorn gathered countless light swords into one giant light sword, towering in the air. Following Zorn's movements, he slashed down.
With a flash of white light, the castle and the sea surface were instantly split in half. The Magic Convergence Cannon barrel also shattered into countless fragments.
All the seawater poured into the split fissure in the middle. The Phantom Lord Guild's castle also split apart and collapsed onto the sea surface. Jose lay there, split in half, still glaring venomously at Zorn.
"I'm not reconciled, not reconciled!"
"Jose, you dedicated yourself to darkness, colluded with Dark Guilds, and harmed innocent civilians. Your sins are heinous, and you have no reason to live. Go to hell and repent for your sins."
Zorn walked towards Jose, who was slowly merging, and mercilessly pronounced his judgment, completely ignoring Jose's futile ravings.
"Gather, river of light that guides the fairies, illuminate, to eliminate the claws of evil, Fairy Glitter!"
As Zorn chanted, a great holy light emanated from his hands, and an enormous magic circle appeared in the sky. A circle of light instantly shrank from large to small, directly encompassing Jose. A pillar of energy from the sky directly struck Jose.
Jose's evil power vanished completely amidst his screams of agony. Jose himself slowly turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
At this moment, the members of the Phantom Lord Guild and the Dark Guild were so terrified by this attack that they completely lost their will to fight and surrendered.
Gajeel was also lying in a pile of rubble, completely unable to move. His entire body was fractured.
Fairy Tail won this war.
In front of Porlyusica's small wooden house.
"Makarov, you truly are blessed!"
"Needless to say, haha."
