For a time, these Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild instantly turned into Fairy Tail gossipers. They all avidly devoured the tale of love, hate, and revenge between Precht, Gildarts, and others that took place in Magnolia Town sixteen years ago.
"Eh?!"
"Why does this story sound so familiar?"
Ian, who had also transformed into a gossipmonger, listened to Makarov's words, his brows gradually furrowing into a knot, muttering to himself.
Heh heh, the one who brutally beat Gildarts, it seems it was me, right?
In other words, Precht took the blame for him?!
For this, Ian respectfully thanked Old Pu: "Old Pu, may you rest in peace! I will remember all your sacrifices for me and will never forget them even slightly!"
Indeed, besides the nickname "Fairy Tail Simp King" that Ian had given Old Pu in his heart, he now had a brand new title: "Fairy Tail Scapegoat King"!
Old Pu's life was truly filled with misfortunes.
On the other side, at the back mountain of Fairy Tail.
"Rumble!"
Accompanied by continuous roars.
Precht and Gildarts were constantly confronting each other. Around the two, immense magic power swirled. The invisible magic power continuously collided, emitting piercing roars, and the terrifying force caused the earth to tremble.
"The atmosphere! The earth! Even the magic particles in the air are trembling!"
"The Fairy Tail Guild, really, they don't know how to be idle for a single day. They are always fighting, fighting, and still fighting…"
Porlyusica, who lived in the eastern forest, couldn't help but sigh upon feeling the wailing from the air. It was precisely because Magicians always walked between death and battle that she disliked Magicians, and even humans!
"Guild Master Makarov, what do you think will be the outcome of the battle between the Second Master and Gildarts?!"
On the other side, these Fairy Tail Magicians, after realizing that the battle could not be stopped, simply stopped trying to stop it. Each of them turned into an entertainment seeker, holding popcorn and beer, watching Precht and Gildarts in their standoff, and laughing.
"I'm not sure…"
Makarov gently shook his head.
Precht was a genius of the path of magic, having already touched the abyss of magic. It would not be an exaggeration to say he was the foremost black magic user in Ishgar outside of Zeref…
Gildarts was also a genius. Unlike Precht, who was more inclined towards research with a bit of combat, Gildarts was the purest type of genius in combat magic.
So Makarov couldn't say for sure whether Gildarts was stronger or Precht was stronger! In battle, it wasn't about having more magic power or knowing more spells that guaranteed victory. Battle was ever-changing, and one could not afford to be careless for a moment.
"Boom!!"
Just as the members of the Fairy Tail Guild, under the tense and oppressive atmosphere of Precht and Gildarts' standoff, subconsciously held their breath…
Gildarts moved first, his figure like a flash of lightning, rushing straight towards Precht.
"Kid! You're too impatient!"
As Precht retreated, several magic chains emerged from his hand and shot out, attempting to capture Gildarts.
"Crush!"
Gildarts didn't even look at the chains approaching him. A single Crush destroyed all of them completely.
"Boom!!"
However, Gildarts' Crush did not stop after destroying the chains. They swept towards Precht in the distance at a visible speed. The terrifying aftershock crushed everything in its path, whether it was the earth, trees, air, or magic particles, into nothingness.
"Highest Defense Magic: Nine Pillars of Heaven!"
Seeing this, Precht formed a magic circle with one hand. Instantly, nine stone pillars, inscribed with mysterious runes, rose from the ground. These stone pillars stood in Precht's place, blocking the Crush Magic released by Gildarts.
"Ah? Three times mine?"
Makarov's eyelids twitched slightly as he looked at the Nine Pillars of Heaven summoned by Precht.
Indeed, the older ginger is spicier. Precht's strength was unfathomable.
"Break for me!"
Seeing this, Gildarts' veins bulged on his forehead as he roared.
"Boom!"
The nine stone pillars only lasted for one second in front of Gildarts before being crushed into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.
"Twelve Pillars of Heaven!"
Precht's expression showed no panic at this. As he retreated, he slammed his hand onto the ground, and instantly, twelve stone pillars neatly enveloped him and Gildarts.
"Four times?"
Old Ma was numb. All the magic he knew, Precht knew. And the magic he didn't know, Precht also knew, and used them all more powerfully than him.
"Twelve Pillars of Heaven are useless too!"
Gildarts' Crush Magic seemed to be unleashed without cost, crushing all the stone pillars in his path completely.
"I know that these stone pillars alone can't stop you!"
"I never expected you, you stinking brat, to use the highest-grade destruction magic, Crush, as a basic magic. It's truly surprising."
"The Fairy Tail Guild is truly full of surprises…"
"But this is as far as it goes! Perish now, Gildarts."
After Precht used the Twelve Pillars of Heaven to block Gildarts, within those few tenths of a second, he had already completed his magic circle.
"Perish, you stinking brat who uses Crush Magic! Take my Heavenly Illumination Hundred Style!"
Precht directly used the highest-grade Altaris magic.
This magic was not like the Altaris that just destroyed a mountain or blew up half a spaceship! This was a terrifying magic circle capable of directly confronting Tenrou Island.
If this spell were to explode in Magnolia, the resulting disaster would definitely be beyond imagination! It would be enough to destroy the entire town in an instant.
"Boom!!"
As Precht's words fell, a massive magic impact, like a nuclear bomb, exploded in the back mountain of the Fairy Tail Guild. The terrifying shockwave even blew the guild members into the sky! Fortunately, Ur reacted quickly and used Ice Make Magic to freeze everyone present, which prevented a greater problem.
