Mystogan, one of the S-class mages of Fairy Tail.
Jellal had paid attention to this person when he was gathering information about Fairy Tail.
However, because Mystergan's actions were too mysterious, even a dark guild giant like the Oración Seis could only find a few words about his name and appearance in his investigation, and did not even know what he looked like.
Not only Jellal and the Dark Guild, but even Erza, who is also an S-class mage of the guild, knows very little about her comrade Mystogan.
Erza now understands why Laxus, who has always looked down on everyone, considers Mystogan a strong contender for his "strongest" goal.
Although there was an element of surprise attack, it broke Gerald's defenses in one move, which was also a psychological blow.
That's truly formidable strength.
Do you need help?
A hoarse voice came from beneath Mystergan's mask. He had come here in search of a trace of magic, but he would naturally do his part if his companions needed help.
Erza wanted to say she could handle it, but the battle she had just fought clearly demonstrated the vast difference between her and Jellal.
"What? You want to fight that despicable guy two against one?"
"This isn't like you, Erza."
Gerald looked at Erza with a mocking tone.
But secretly, Jellal was extremely wary of Mystogan. Mental magic was impossible to defend against, and if Erza and Mystogan joined forces, he, who was injured, would surely be defeated.
Stop trying to provoke me.
Erza snorted coldly, then gave Mystogan an apologetic smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Mystogan, but please do not interfere in my battle with Jellal."
"I know this is selfish, but this is a grudge between Gerald and me, and it is my duty to settle it with him."
Mystergan nodded, stepped back, and returned the battlefield to Erza.
Even using Erza's strongest armor, "Infernal Armor," was ineffective against Jellal, so she decided to change her fighting style.
While armor can protect oneself, it also creates barriers between people.
Having been in Fairy Tail for so many years, the warmth of the guild has allowed Erza to shed her inner armor.
Now, it's time to take off our outer armor.
"Changing Outfits: Clothes for a Clear Mind"
When the magic circle passed through the girl's body, it did not put new armor on her; instead, the girl's clothing became even less.
She wore red lantern trousers with flame patterns on her lower body, and no clothes on her upper body except for a bandage that bound her chest. Her red hair was tied high in a ponytail, and the girl stood barefoot on the ground, holding a katana called "Demon Blade Red Tassel" in both hands.
Abandon defense and concentrate all magic power on offense.
This is Erza's final [outfit change].
Thinking of her guildmates and Simon and his group of four who had cleared up their misunderstanding and reconciled, Erza felt a surge of power, as if they were all right beside her.
Sensing its master's conviction, the demon sword Crimson Tassel immediately emitted a deep blue light. It was a sword of conviction; the stronger the conviction, the stronger the sword.
"Gerald, I don't know what you went through to become like this, but I do know that what you are doing now is definitely not what you originally wanted."
"So let me rescue you from the abyss."
Jellal sneered and looked at Erza with disdain. "What are you talking about? I am injured, but what makes you think you can beat me?"
"In that case, why don't you give it a try!"
"Try to save me, Erza!"
Gerald's gaze sharpened, and a terrifying aura erupted from him. He pointed one hand to the ground and the other to the sky, and a stellar magic circle opened up until it enveloped the entire island.
The island trembled, and the waves surged.
The commotion distracted Urutia.
Looking at the winding magic circle in the air, Ultear's expression changed slightly. Knowing what kind of magic Jellal was using, she couldn't help but curse him as a madman.
"Did he use that magic on the island to drag everyone down with him?!"
"I don't know if she'll live or die, but Miss, something bad is going to happen to you."
A casual remark reached Urudia's ears, and she turned around in horror.
While Ultear was distracted, Noah silently crept up to her side, and the ice plants protecting her didn't give her any warning!
"Hey, you don't actually think I'm just a wielding mage with decent physical abilities, do you?"
Noah was surrounded by a silent black light. He had even replicated a complex spacetime magic like [Anima], so how could he not have mastered other magics?
A gigantic, ferocious whale phantom appeared behind Noah, transforming into countless magical specks of light that merged into his body.
Possession Magic: Evil Whale!
After celebrating Erza's birthday, the strong-willed red-haired girl insisted on giving Noah a gift in return. As a result, Noah shamelessly took advantage of Erza's S-rank mission, where he hunted down a powerful sea monster and used possession magic to absorb its power.
In terms of power, the evil whale's power far surpasses that of Norb's bear and wolf spirits.
The surging magic emanating from Noah startled Ultear.
Damn it, if you know any other magic, why didn't you show it sooner? Stop pretending to be a martial arts fanatic!
Ultear unleashed her full power to attack Noah with her ice-based plants, but unfortunately, the outcome of their battle was already predetermined when she was less than a meter away from Noah.
"Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist!"
As Noah's fist swung out, all the ice plants were reduced to dust by the blow, and the continuous pressure repeatedly ravaged the ice plants restored by the [Time Arc].
Before losing consciousness, Ultear saw a giant whale formed from magic, a terrifying killer whale!
At the same moment that Noah defeated Ultear, Erza's battle also came to an end.
A massive celestial magic circle in the sky distorted space, and a meteorite with a diameter of over ten meters broke through the dimensional barrier and suddenly appeared. Gerald had actually pulled in a meteorite!
This is Gerald's ultimate move, True Celestial Magic: Starfall!
Golden demonic flames intertwined with flowing light, and the meteorite dragged magical particles like a comet's tail. The wind pressure generated by its descent alone caused the sea around the island to sink.
It was like a natural disaster!
Erza, however, seemed oblivious to the horrific scene. Her eyes were fixed solely on Jellal, and she concentrated all her power, magic, and conviction into the next swing of her sword.
The magic was boiling, and the veins on the back of the girl's hand, which was tightly gripping the demon sword Red Tassel, bulged. The Armament Haki that was usually only wrapped around the weapon in strands was now covering the entire katana with the girl's perseverance.
All the magic collapsed into a single point of blazing white at the tip of the blade, and Erza unleashed her strongest strike with unwavering determination.
A strike of conviction!
Sand and stones flew, meteorites clashed with blades—two forces of vastly different sizes clashed, and the final result…
A dramatic change occurred in the heavens; ominous clouds gathered, and amidst the ear-piercing screeching sound of air being cut, the meteorite, split in two, fell into the sea.
Half of the island sank, taking Gerald with it to the bottom of the sea.
Exhausted by both magic and physical strength, Erza knelt on the ground, struggling to support herself with her blood-stained red-tasseled sword.
Farewell, my past.
Having completely let go of the past, the girl stubbornly raised her head and watched the sunset depart.
