Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

These brats didn't come to Sirius Island to participate in the S-rank mage assessment; they just came here to wreak havoc.

Chapter 72. Ian vs. Gildarts, the battle for Fairy Tail's strongest! And the terrifying Celestial Meteor!

72.

"Hey Hey hey……"

"Ian vs. Gildarts? Really...?"

"If these two monsters were to start fighting here like this..."

"I'm afraid they'll destroy the entire Sirius Island!"

"President, aren't you going to stop it?"

Uru watched as Ian and Gildarts stood facing off, her fair forehead covered in beads of sweat.

If at this moment, a member of the Magic Council were to see Uru Milkovich, whom they had bestowed the title of the fourth seat of the 'Ten Saints' and who was hailed by countless marketing magazines in the magical world as the fourth greatest figure on the continent of Ishgar, looking panicked in the face of battle with other mages, they would surely find it unbelievable.

These council members had never imagined that there could be such a powerful being in this world who could instill fear in even the 'Ten Holy Archmages'...

However, the truth is that Ul, who is no different from a monster in the eyes of many people, is not much stronger than Natsu and the others when Ian and Gildarts are at full power.

If Uru is a monster, then Ian and Gildarts are monsters among monsters.

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Makarov frowned...

He seemed utterly powerless to stop Ian from fighting Gildarts.

Once you get older, there are some things that you can no longer control.

"Actually, back in Magnolia town..."

"It all started when you threw a meteorite at me after I returned to Magnolia Town. I've wanted to see you when you're really going all out..."

"However, considering the dense population in the town, with our combined fighting strength, we might turn what was supposed to be a friendly sparring match into a major disaster! Therefore, I have been restraining my fighting desires all along."

"However, now that we've arrived at this deserted island, known as the holy land of Fairy Tail guilds, we don't have so many concerns!"

"Originally, we just wanted to find a place where we wouldn't be disturbed to properly conduct the S-rank mage assessment, but now it has given us both a chance to fight without worry."

Gildarts paused here, gathering his thoughts.

“Uh, Ian…”

"What exactly is between you and me..."

"Who is the true strongest mage in Fairy Tail guild?!"

"Although no one in the guild has ever mentioned it openly, I'm afraid everyone has always had this question in their minds."

"Why don't we just let this question disappear completely today?"

Gildarts' lips curled into a smile, and a fierce fighting spirit burned in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Ian in front of him, saying in a deep voice, "Today, between the two of us, on the sacred ground of the guild, Tenrou Island, a victor will emerge and become the strongest mage in the Fairy Tail guild in the true sense of the word."

"is it?"

"So, Gildarts, you think so too?"

"That's great!"

"To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for ages..."

Let's settle this once and for all!

Ian cracked his shoulders, making a series of crisp 'crack' sounds, and his gaze toward Gildarts held a hint of battle fervor.

I'm so excited!

How do you say that?

That's right, it's on fire!

Yes, Ian also wanted to know just how big the gap was between him and Gildarts! All of this was unknown to everyone…

Well, Ian certainly wouldn't compare the Gildarts from the original story, who was covered in wounds and had half his internal organs ripped out, to the Gildarts standing in front of him now, who was unharmed and in his prime.

Just how powerful is Gildarts today?!

Only through battle will we know.

"boom!!"

After Ian and Gildarts reached an agreement.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became heavy.

Endless magic slowly spread between them...

"Zizzizi..."

Powerful magic clashed continuously in the air, centered on Ian and Gildarts.

On the ground, some pebbles near the two were swept up the moment they unleashed their magic, floated in mid-air, and then exploded into countless fragments and dust invisible to the naked eye.

"The sky is crying out in sorrow!"

"The atmosphere is crying..."

"Even the ocean seems to be throbbing with pain..."

Even though Mavis was now just a ghost, her eyesight remained, and she could sense the powerful magical clash between Ian and Gildarts.

"First Generation, are we really going to let those two fight here?"

"This is the sacred ground of the Fairy Tail guild, and also your graveyard."

Just then, Makarov came to Mavis's side. He bowed slightly to Mavis, who was in ghost form, and then asked with a solemn expression.

With Ian and Gildarts' strength, what's the difference between fighting on Tenrou Island and dancing on the grave of the First Hokage?!

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Mavis fell into thought. The little angel earrings on her head, which resembled ornaments, swayed slightly twice…

Mavis said excitedly, "Let them fight! Because I also want to know who is the most powerful mage in Fairy Tail, Ian or Gildarts."

"Ah, the first generation..."

Why are you like this too?

Fairy Tail is beyond saving.

Makarov was stunned. He never expected that Mavis, the first guild master of their Fairy Tail guild, was also the kind of person who thrived on chaos.

Ultimately, no matter how kind Mavis is, it doesn't change the fact that she was trained by the dark mage Zeref. Simply put, Fairy Tail guild has a problem at its core…

Perhaps in the world of light magic, Fairy Tail is considered the biggest troublemaker on the continent of Ishgar. But in the world of dark magic, Fairy Tail is of pure blood.

Ok……

the other side.

"Go, Father!" Erza and Ereshkigal, the two best friends, stood hand in hand, looking at Ian, who was facing off against Gildarts in the distance, and shouted loudly, "Don't lose!"

"Peace of mind."

Ian nodded without saying anything more.

Ian would never utter that classic line!

will win.

“Kildarts…”

"I'll be angry if you lose to Ian."

Cana glanced at Erza and Ereshkigal beside her, who were cheering Ian on. Encouraged by Erza's gaze, she blushed and looked at Gildarts in the distance, shouting loudly.

"Don't worry, Kana!"

"Just wait for my good news!"

"I am the strongest..."

Upon hearing this, Gildarts winked repeatedly in Cana's direction.

"gross."

Kana was so startled by Gildarts' wink that she backed away repeatedly...

She only stopped and caught her breath after retreating behind Erza.

At this moment, Kana couldn't help but begin to have doubts...

How could a top beauty like her own mother, renowned throughout the surrounding towns, possibly fall for Gildarts, this slovenly, womanizing, and smelly old man who only bathes once a week?!

And those women who are completely infatuated with Gildarts during the mission, are they all blind? What is it about Gildarts that's so great?

Well, after Cana dispelled Gildarts's charm...

In Cana's mind, Gildarts has fallen to the same level as Homeless.

"Haha, Kana is shy."

Gildarts, who was confronting Ian at that moment, completely failed to see the disdain in Cana's eyes. He mistakenly thought that Cana was shy because she was captivated by the invincible and imposing figure of her father...

At that moment, Gildarts was pouting and blowing kisses to Cana.

"Laxus, are you feeling better?"

"Look! Ian is about to fight Gildarts..."

"Who do you think will win between Ian and Gildarts?"

Fried helped Lacussas sit up from the ground and asked.

"yes……"

"I never expected that Ian would actually fight Gildarts?"

Who will win?
