After Cana entered the tomb of the First Guild Master, Mavis, she walked along the passage, and soon light appeared ahead in the dark cave.
"Mavis's tomb is just ahead. Today, I must become an S-Class Mage!"
She walked into the light without hesitation. The narrow space suddenly became spacious, and a silver-white tombstone came into view.
In the middle of the tombstone, there was a cluster of burning golden flames.
Cana remembered what the Master had said and murmured, "Is this the legendary Hogoku Magic?"
As long as she possessed this power, even if her own strength was insufficient, she could face any S-Class Mage.
She reached out to touch the golden flame, and instantly felt a numbing sensation like an electric shock. Immediately after, two lines of blood-colored text appeared in the void.
The Three Great Magics of Fairy Tail, Fairy Glitter, is sealed here.
Cana thought of her past. These twelve years were all for today—not just for her father, but also because she didn't want to let down her friends' expectations.
She had long seen that her friends were going easy on her; not just Acnologia and Irene, but even Natsu, Gray, and the others—everyone was silently supporting her.
Having reached this final step, she would never give up, even if it meant risking her life!
...On the other side, Acnologia used a healing magic he hadn't used in a long time to help everyone recover from their injuries and restore their magic power. In less than half an hour, everyone had returned to their peak state.
Elfman said in surprise, "You actually know healing magic too?"
He felt that a man like Acnologia didn't seem like the type to be associated with this kind of magic.
"Actually, being a doctor was my original profession. Later, I encountered war, which made me realize that a doctor can only save people, not the world."
A look of nostalgia appeared in Acnologia's eyes. Thinking about everything in the past now felt like a lifetime ago.
Past hatred had completely vanished after the baptism of time, and only a few of those Evil Dragons remained; he only needed one opportunity to wipe them out.
In this life, one cannot be crushed by hatred forever.
"War?"
Everyone felt that he must have a painful past, so they tactfully refrained from asking further.
Acnologia looked into the distance and said calmly, "A new challenge is coming. Grimoire Heart is attacking."
"Grimoire Heart?"
Everyone was shocked. Had those guys come to Tenrou Island?
Lucy asked, "The Balam Alliance, one of the three great Dark Guilds?"
Acnologia nodded. "That's right. Currently, those preparing to land on the island are just some small fries, but there are a few people in Grimoire Heart you need to be wary of."
"The leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Ultear, masters the magic Arc of Time and Ice-Make Magic. She is Ur's daughter and has already reunited with Ur, so there's a high probability she won't be our enemy."
Gray's expression shifted slightly as he said, "If Ultear intends to be our enemy, leave her to me."
Acnologia nodded and continued, "The Fire God Slayer Mage, Zancrow. You can tell by his name that he uses fire, but his flames are very strong—stronger than Natsu's at this stage."
If the original Natsu hadn't used plot armor, the probability of victory would actually not have been high.
Natsu said confidently, "Leave this one to me. I'm all fired up!"
As for whether he could win, he would only know after the fight.
"Capricorn was originally a Celestial Spirit who served Lucy's mother, Layla. Later, his body was possessed by Zoldeo, and he fell into darkness. That Zoldeo should have also served Layla before."
Acnologia thought about it; since Capricorn had still appeared, the process was likely not much different from the original story.
However, why that Zoldeo betrayed Layla was a question.
It might be that he witnessed the power of darkness and fell into it because of that.
Or it could be that love turned to hate; seeing the couple living happily together might have made him jealous.
In the original story, this guy even killed Brandish's mother, Grammi, causing Brandish to misunderstand Lucy's family. She later joined the Western Continent and became one of the Spriggan 12.
Now Grammi and Brandish should have returned to the Western Continent. As for whether they joined the Alvarez Empire, it's hard to say... Acnologia guessed they most likely did, because all the Mage Guilds in the Western Continent are ruled by the Empire, and they wouldn't let a genius like Brandish slip away.
Lucy immediately raised her hand: "Leave this person to me!"
Acnologia said mercilessly, "That's not an enemy you can handle. Let Irene go with you."
Lucy was a bit annoyed. "Natsu and the others can't win either, but you didn't say anything about finding them help."
You don't trust me that much? I'm very strong too, okay.
Irene curled her lip and said, "If my help isn't needed, then forget it. I didn't want to help anyway."
Lucy immediately panicked and hugged Irene tightly. "Sister Irene, I was joking! Don't abandon me!"
Since Acnologia had already said so, she definitely couldn't win. It was safer to cling to Irene's leg.
"Rastinros. His magic is the Arc of Embodiment, which turns imagination into reality."
Elfman raised his hand and said, "I'll take this one!"
Evergreen wasn't as optimistic. "Turning imagination into reality? That magic sounds invincible. Are there no limits?"
Acnologia thought for a moment and said, "The limit is likely magic power. The stronger the magic, the harder it is to manifest. Moreover, imagining also takes time. Imagining while fighting—splitting one's attention is not that easy."
Evergreen was thoughtful. If that was the case, there was a chance. As long as she launched a storm-like attack and didn't give that guy time to imagine, she might be able to defeat him.
"Hua Yuan Sical. His magic is Ushi no Koku Mairi. Using a curse doll, he can control an enemy by getting a strand of their hair, or control himself for enhancement. His physical techniques are slightly stronger than Natsu's."
"Leave this one to me!"
Gajeel said immediately. He was interested in anyone stronger than Natsu, and this Sical was just to his taste.
"Meredy. Her magic is mainly Maguilty Sense, which can also link lives. This magic is very troublesome. I'll handle her myself."
Everyone agreed. Linking lives sounded difficult to break, and they didn't want to touch it at all.
"Aznain. Great Tree Arc. Specifically, he manipulates trees or turns into trees."
Levy raised her hand slightly and said shyly under everyone's gaze, "I'm afraid I can't do it. I'd better go with Gajeel."
She wasn't good at fighting, but she could provide support.
Acnologia said, "Leave this one to Erza or someone else."
Recognizing one's own strength and having a clear self-positioning wasn't shameful.
"I can sense that Jellal has also arrived. Exactly what he wants to do is unknown; we'll deal with him later."
"Bluenote Stinger, the Vice Guild Master of Grimoire Heart. His magic is related to Gravity. He is very strong. He can be handled by Gildarts or Master Makarov."
"Finally, there's the Master, Hades Prehecht. We'll talk about this guy later."
Irene had already notified Laxus. If he could make it in time, let him give it a try.
Acnologia looked at everyone and said seriously, "Although you all have people you want to fight, you might not necessarily face them. These people are top Mages. Even knowing their intelligence only increases your win rate slightly."
"Remember, if you can't win, run. Don't joke with your life. If you can't beat them, others will defeat them."
Everyone said in unison, "Understood!"
"Good! Now go and notify the Master and the others. The enemy's vanguard will arrive at Tenrou Island in ten minutes!"
