Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

【"Wonderful!"】

Gildarts approached Hanaz.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Laxus also saw his grandfather, Makarov, arrive.

[He patted Laxus on the shoulder: "You did well this time."]

But Laxus turned his head away.

"Losers have nothing to say, and you don't need to offer any comfort."

Makarov's hand froze in mid-air.

Makarov paused, watching Laxus's retreating figure, before a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

[This might actually be a good thing for Laxus.]

There's always someone stronger than you. Perhaps if Laxus understands this, he won't be so arrogant anymore.

"This really helped me a lot, Natsu."

Thinking about this, Makarov almost wanted to give Black Natsu a big compliment.

On the other side, Gildarts' gaze was fixed on Henna in front of him.

The smile on her face seemed impossible to stop.

"Despite the brief exchange, both of you displayed astonishing fighting prowess!"

"Truly... heroes emerge from among the young!"

Gildarts laughed.

"Uncle, you're the final boss, right?"

[Henazu asked.]

"Of course, you can think of it this way: I am the final hurdle on your path to becoming an S-class mage!"

Gildarts raised his head.

The fighting spirit in his eyes was already boiling.

"So! You don't have time to rest now. If you want to become an S-class mage..."

Gildarts opened his arms. A torrent of magical power erupted forth!

At that moment, the trees began to tremble, the earth began to groan, and the birds in the forest scattered in panic.

Even the view of the sky was visibly shaking.

That was a pure, magical roar!

The sky also darkened at that moment.

An overwhelming sense of oppression enveloped the entire island!

"Come and hit me, you brat!!!"

At that moment, Gildarts passed through the celestial canopy, displaying his power to the world!

Jura: "Is this... the legendary Gildarts?"

Bob: "Oh my god, Little Pony actually had such a hidden skill. The power of this magic... is enough to rank him among the top ten Wizard Saints, right?"

Yajima: "Incomparable! But this magic that could shake the entire island... is simply unheard of!"

Hades: "Is this guy... even stronger than he was during the battle on Sirius Island?"

"If he joins the war at this level... wouldn't that guy be able to take me down too?"

Makarov: "Hahaha, how about that! He's the only mage in history to have survived a century-old mission!"

"At the same time, he is also the only one who came back alive after a head-on confrontation with Acnologia!"

Warrod: "Kildarts... what a remarkable junior."

"However, Honatsu on the other side is no pushover either; this is going to be a tense battle!"

Mavis: "So they've finally arrived? This is probably going to be the battle for the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, isn't it?"

Gildarts is definitely serious!

Makarov, who was watching all this from a short distance away, already had a furrowed brow.

This is beyond doubt.

Whether it was the overwhelming surge of magical power, or the trees, rocks, and other debris that were constantly being crushed and disintegrated around them.

All of this confirms Gildarts's seriousness.

[The supreme-level magical shattering technique is ready to be unleashed at any moment.]

That's terrifying magic; once touched, it will pulverize you at the molecular level.

【boom----!!!】

The magic, already as boundless as the ocean, expanded once more!

[Breathtaking!]

A substantial white pillar of light formed directly around Gildarts's body!

At this moment, it soars into the sky.

[Boom boom boom—!!!]

The mere roar of magic caused temporary tinnitus.

【"What?!!!"】

Laxus, now incapacitated, sat cross-legged on the ground, staring in horror at the white pillar of light shooting into the sky.

Sweat streamed down Laxus's face.

Looking at the center of the magical storm, he finally discovered it...

I am so inexperienced.

Compared to those truly powerful figures who have left their mark on this era, he is now separated by an insurmountable gap!

"So strong... Is this... Is he really still human? Gildarts!!!"

Makarov's face was also extremely pale.

"That bastard, didn't he say he was only going to be an examiner once?"

"Is this going to be a full-blown fight?"

He never imagined that Gildarts would be such a mature middle-aged man.

[I can't believe I was actually stirred to fight by a mere brat.]

Just how terrifying is Gildarts when he goes all out?

Even Makarov didn't know.

The only thing he knew was that this assessment... was beginning to become somewhat unpredictable.

Gildarts's hair stood on end within the pure white pillar of light.

White light flowed over his entire body.

[Amidst the overwhelming magic, his open eyes were also illuminated with an unusually crimson light!]

[Like a monster!]

Harpy: "This pose... I won't forget it."

Natsu: "Ah... Gildarts was like this back then, no... this time the pressure is even stronger than last time."

"What a complete monster!"

Gray: "By the way, after Natsu encountered Gildarts in the last test, how exactly did he pass it?"

Natsu: "I surrender!"

Everyone: "Huh??"

Natsu: "I'm not kidding, I'm just admitting defeat. Gildarts made me realize my weakness that time, and it also encouraged me to change, which made me stronger."

"I understood that, and so I passed."

Lucy: "Is that so? No wonder I felt such terrifying magic on Sirius Island that time."

Happy: "It's worth mentioning that Natsu was so scared that he cried that time."

Natsu: "There's just no way to defeat them. There's no way to beat those endless monsters, okay?"

"Even the will to fight will be worn down, okay?"

Erza: "Perhaps it really is so. At least, looking at the scene in the sky, I can feel the overwhelming despair that comes with 3.4."

Mirajane: "So, what will Hennaz over there ultimately choose?"

The soaring magic power caused the entire island to tremble.

Gildarts, giving it his all, made the whole world aware of his terrifying power.
