Fairy Tail Space Mage

Chapter 204 The Law of the Fairies!

“You can’t escape, Joseph. The effects of [Array - Nine Linked Rings - Spatial Lockdown] are still active.” Kong naturally stood in front of Joseph.

“Of course I know… ‘Dark Star’!!” Joseph stared at the sky, unable to suppress his gritted teeth.

His meticulous plan failed almost entirely due to Kong.

His hatred for emptiness now surpassed even Makarov's!

"So, 'Dark Star,' I'll use my strongest magic to keep you here forever... [Super Magic: Death Storm]!" Joseph finally unleashed his trump card. It was super magic, and also proof that Joseph had been chosen as one of the "Ten Saints," and that his dignity was inviolable!

Even Makarov, seeing Joseph use this magic, couldn't help but accelerate and rush forward, trying to stop him. Of course, he couldn't possibly catch up.

Unlike [Purgatory Shatter], [Death Storm] is a single-target shockwave spell! This is similar to [Jupiter].

And what Kong likes most, or rather, what the Singularity likes most, is this kind of magic.

Therefore, before Kong could take any action, the Singularity stepped in front of him, ready to "have a good meal".

However, the [Singularity], which had always worked perfectly before, was now in a predicament. It seemed to be struggling to cope with the overwhelming magical power before it.

Seeing this, Kong quickly threw out two more [Singularities], one to the left and one to the right. Together, the three [Singularities] finally managed to hold back the [Death Storm] and slowly devour it.

"Impossible!!" Joseph hadn't expected that even his strongest spell, which he had used with all his magic power, would still be blocked by the void.

After being incredulous, Joseph had no choice but to accept the reality and, taking advantage of the moment when he was caught up in the "storm of death," quickly turned and left.

"Can you get away, Joseph!?"

Makarov, however, had already arrived.

"How did you regain your magic, Makarov?" Joseph couldn't help but ask, even though there was no time left.

“You don’t need to know… Now, let’s settle accounts for the sins you committed by hurting my children and destroying my guild!” Makarov said, his coat half-draped over his shoulders, the sleeves of which fluttering in the wind.

How should I put it, he looks really handsome!

Unfortunately, Sora is a "strict abstainer," and she usually makes sure to button up even the top button near her neck before going out.

Therefore, this stylish way of wearing a jacket is probably not for him.

The three singularities were working diligently, but they didn't hinder Kong's movements. He could still use other magic to attack Joseph.

However, now that the president has arrived, there's no time for anything else.

Kong stood by and watched the show with peace of mind.

“Makarov… Indeed, among the ‘Ten Saints,’ you are ranked a little higher than me. But do you think that makes you stronger than me?! I want to leave, and no one can stop me!!” Joseph, who had already turned to leave, seemingly unable to bear the contempt in Makarov’s tone, turned back upon hearing Makarov’s words.

"The magic I'm about to use has never been used on humans before. However, I think even the original guild master who created it wouldn't blame me if she knew that the guild she built had turned into ruins..."

Makarov ignored Joseph and slowly clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

Then, suddenly, like a lion awakening, an extremely terrifying magical energy began to condense between his hands!

"What kind of magic are you planning to use, Makarov?!" Joseph couldn't help but back away, a violent sense of fear assaulting his nerves.

Kong also stared at Makarov, his eyes wide.

But as the light between Makarov's hands grew increasingly dazzling, Sora could only close his eyes, release his senses, and carefully observe Makarov's magic.

"Joseph... savor the taste of one of Fairy Tail's three great super magics, [Fairy Law]!!" Makarov finally unleashed it, a super magic exclusive to Fairy Tail that only the guild master could have the opportunity to learn!

……

As the [Fairy Law] was activated, a new sun seemed to appear in the very center of the sky, violently tearing through the clouds and hurling an incomparably dazzling pillar of light towards where Joseph was!

"Wait a moment……"

Joseph didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was instantly engulfed by the pillar of light!

However, the beam of light came quickly and went quickly.

Makarov didn't seem to intend to kill Joseph completely. He merely severely injured Joseph before withdrawing the [Fairy Law].

However, since it is super magic, and super magic created by the first president, how could it only seriously injure Joseph when it hits him head-on?

Joseph's hair had turned completely white!

His skin was also covered with wrinkles.

Joseph was much younger than Makarov. Yet, he looked far older than Makarov!

Although it was hard to believe, Kong did indeed feel that Joseph's life force had been partially wiped out!

Kong couldn't help but frown.

He was no longer the novice mage who was just learning magic.

He knew that anything involving life force was forbidden magic.

This kind of magic is not only forbidden by the council, but it also carries various risks.

All power in the world comes from equivalent exchange. In any world, gaining power requires paying an equal price.

In that case, the magic "Fairy Law"... hopefully, it won't have any side effects on Makarov.

Kong had long harbored doubts about the magic "Fairy Law" because its power was too great and its efficiency too high (area attack + guaranteed hit + critical hit)!

The amount of magic required to activate it is disproportionate to its effects!

In this situation, one can use it without paying any other price; I don't believe in such a thing!

However, seeing that Makarov showed no unusual reaction after using [Fairy Law], Sora didn't intend to go up and ask him anything.

……

Joseph lost consciousness and collapsed. Before he fell into the sea, Aliya seized the opportunity, pulled him out, and ran.

Neither Makarov nor Sora paid any attention to this and had no intention of chasing after them.

This relieved Aria.

"Kong... This time, thanks to you... I've already heard from Polyusica that it's all thanks to you and Mystogan for being prepared. Otherwise, the guild might have been ruined by me this time."

After dealing with Joseph, Makarov walked towards the sky with some excitement.

To be honest, when Makarov took in Sora, he never imagined that the little beggar with low magic power and average talent (Sora was wearing very tattered clothes when she was picked up) would grow to this level.

"I was also a member of the guild... Unfortunately, in the end, we still couldn't save the guild." Kong's tone was quite disappointed.

Those buildings, though old, are filled with empty memories.

Even when he was wandering in a foreign land, Kong could still clearly recall the unique, rich smell of alcohol in the guild hall.

The dimly lit guild dormitory was perfect for him to stay in his room and read... But now, all of that is gone.

"Don't be sad... It's just the houses that were destroyed, we can rebuild them. By the way, you should also sponsor the guild... I know you're very rich, you have a lot of businesses in Hot Spring Town, and the same in Impatiens Village in Magnolia City!"

That's how Makarov is. The enemy is gone, the battle is won. Then, immediately, he reverts to his original "mischievous old man" self.

Chapter 205: The Deal and News from Hot Spring Town

Makarov has his own intelligence network and is well aware that Kong has many identities, each more illustrious than the last. He's not joking when it comes to squeezing Kong's wallet dry.

Fairy Tail is the premier mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, but it's not wealthy; in fact, you could say it's quite poor!

If you ask why, well, just look at Natsu and the others and you'll understand.

Destroying cities, ruining docks, demolishing precious historical buildings... the trouble caused by the Fairy Tail mages is countless. Some of these troubles can be resolved with an apology and a deduction of the commission fee. But more often than not, the guild has to pay a large sum of money before the other party will finally let it go.

So, the guild is poor. Really poor!

Furthermore, ever since Makarov took over Fairy Tail, the company has never been wealthy.

The reason is simple: Chairman Makarov himself is actually a "destructive maniac"!

"He will use his gigantification at any time, regardless of the situation, and then completely destroy all the surrounding buildings." This was how Sora described Makarov when he was chatting with Goldman, the chairman of the "Four-Headed Hounds".

……

"Alright... I'll offer 1 million J, that should be enough, right?" Kong is now the king and has no concept of money. Most importantly, he has already accumulated too many commission fees.

He consistently accepts high-difficulty S-rank commissions like "slaying demons," with rewards no less than ten million J. And to fatten up [Singularity], he takes on dozens of such commissions a year… He has a lot of money!

"1 million J... Hmm, that's enough! The guild also has about 2.1 million J in reserves, making a total of 3.1 million J, which is more than enough!"

Makarov felt a sense of relief upon receiving the donation. At the same time, he felt extremely ashamed that he had stooped to asking his own child for money.

It seems that the guild's lack of funds is really putting him in a difficult situation.

"I know a construction company with mages who specialize in construction. If we get their help, the guild can be built in three days."

Kong had no idea what Makarov was feeling at that moment. He was preoccupied with rebuilding the guild, and after thinking for a moment, he offered Makarov this suggestion.

"Is it expensive?" Makarov asked directly after hearing this.

"Uh... 20% off!" Kong paused for a moment before replying.

"Good! Deal!"

When Sora and Makarov returned to the guild and came before everyone, they had this conversation.

Mira and Elsa were both dumbfounded, completely baffled as to what the two of them were talking about.

……

Although Phantom Lord was defeated, Fairy Tail won, and Magnolia Castle barely escaped disaster, there were still many things to deal with afterwards.

Magnolia's hospital, in its wards specifically for treating mages, was crammed with wounded soldiers from two mage guilds.

After resting for a while, the other uninjured members of Fairy Tail began cleaning up the ruins of the guild buildings.

There are still many precious things in the guild that need to be salvaged from the ruins, such as the books painstakingly collected by generations of guild leaders in the guild library. These books are what Kong considers the most valuable items in the guild.

Therefore, he specifically called out Xun'er, Mira, Lucy, and Levy, several members who were familiar with the library, to help organize these books.

If books are found to be severely damaged, Kong will use the [Time Restoration Technique] to repair them.

……

"Sora... I'm sorry, at the castle, Levy and I..." While "saving" the guild library's collection with Sora, Lucy finally made up her mind, pulled Levy along, and apologized to Sora.

The two girls looked like little girls who had done something wrong.

"Don't worry about it. You were just unlucky this time." Sora didn't blame them. He was always a very tolerant person with a good temper. He always felt a sense of closeness to these two little girls who also loved books.

“But if it weren’t for us, the guild wouldn’t have…” Although Lucy and Levy didn’t know that the destruction of the guild’s buildings was directly related to them, they had a slight suspicion. This was the reason why the two wanted to apologize but couldn’t bring themselves to do so.
