Chapter 68
- This is the end, - Gerard muttered, watching as the ingenious mechanism built by his homeland was destroyed.
- Yes, what are you going to do now? - Makarov asked.
- I don't know.
- You were going to become king.
"I don't think the people will accept a traitor as their king," the guy smiled wryly.
- Well, that's how it is, I see. - The Fairy Tail Master nodded to his thoughts.
- Well, kid, I'll have to be a villain for a while, - Makarov smiled with anticipation. - It's not just you kids who destroy everything.
- What are you...? - Gerard was about to ask a question, but he was interrupted by a sharp surge of magical power. Until recently, a small old man suddenly began to increase to gigantic sizes, while using light magic, casting on himself the illusion of a terrible demon, slightly reminiscent of Deliora, while breaking the ceiling and walls of the castle.
- Stupid people, did you think that you could obtain the power of END itself?! You will pay for this! Your king has already fallen at my hands, and the magic of your world has become my rightful prey! You will be next! - Under the influence of light sound magic, Makarov's voice sounded truly demonic and scattered throughout the capital, causing panic among the citizens.
- What are you doing?! Master! - shouted a slightly panicked Jellal.
Meanwhile, the royal guard, under the command of Elsa Knightwalker, sounded the alarm and moved against the invader.
- For EDOLAS! - with a battle cry, Elsa flew at great speed straight towards the giant's chest, where the Heart is located in ordinary people.
- I'm not a greenhorn, so it would be so easy to defeat me. - Makarov grinned, sharply increasing the speed of his body with light magic and simply brushing off the knight's girl, causing her to literally fly into the castle wall.
- Cough. - The girl vomited a little blood from such a strong collision.
- I haven't lost yet! - the wounded girl growled and, using her spear, stood up from the ground, watching as the huge demon destroyed the royal castle along the way, scattering the kingdom's soldiers like fluff.
- Bite me, bastard! - Edo Elsa's spear took the form of a cannon, and the next moment a shot thundered, accompanied by a highly concentrated beam of energy that should have hit the demon's eye, but instead it dissipated against a flickering shield of light.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha. Pathetic attempts! I fought against entire armies when you weren't even in the plans! - Makarov said, letting out a villainous laugh, while mentally sighing with relief, praising himself for the decision to try to squeeze a little more out of his potential in his old age because of two overly hard-working chicks.
"Is there really nothing we can do?" Naitulker panicked before slapping herself and roaring with fire in her eyes. "If it's necessary, I'll die to protect my homeland!"
"Holy Spear Ravelt!" Elsa summoned the strongest form of her spear, allowing all the enormous magical power hidden within to swirl around the weapon as she took a stance, ready to throw it in one incredibly powerful yet suicidal attack, however…
- You won't destroy anything anymore! - Gerard appeared on one of the castle towers, right in front of the Giant's face, in his signature outfit with staffs on his back.
- Aaah, the little prince has arrived. - The giant said mockingly. - You have no chance against me, bug, your father has already sacrificed his life and the only weapon that could pose a danger to me, you are nothing more than a bug that wandered around our world.
- Yes, you defeated my father and maybe I don't look so impressive, but you were wrong about 2 things.
- And what kind? Amuse me one last time, boy.
- First of all, I wasn't just wandering around the edge of the earth, I was getting stronger. And secondly... You shouldn't have given me time.
- What do you mean…
- Fivefold Magic Circle: Sacred Song! - At the moment Mystogan shouted the name of the spell, the illusion dissipated, and the staffs that seemed to have been behind him all this time, had already managed to finish composing the spell, which consisted of 5 giant magic circles superimposed on each other, and the next moment, the Giant was covered by a huge pillar of light.
- Impossible! - Letting out a cry full of disbelief and agony, the Demon began to dissipate, and then the last words of the enemy reached every inhabitant of the capital. - Even if you defeated the little prince, your world is already doomed to lose magic, enjoy the last hours before the fall.
The spectacle of large-scale magic so captivated the residents of the capital that no one noticed how at the last moment a small ray of light flew out of the giant's figure, which very quickly disappeared among the ruins of the castle.
- Phew. I need a vacation. - Makarov sighed tiredly, leaning his back against the wall before pulling himself together and using light magic under the illusion of invisibility, he left the capital of Edolas.
