When Makarov led everyone to "Tenrou Island", their expressions were extremely shocked, because the place that should have been "Tenrou Island" was now completely empty. Such a large island had simply vanished into thin air!
"Where's the island?! Where's Sirius Island?!"
Mirajane lay on the bow of the boat, looking ahead with shock and confusion in her eyes. Although the fighting here had been intense, such a large island couldn't possibly have been completely destroyed, could it?! There wasn't even a speck of dust left on the sea!
"Where's Moen?! Where's Laxus? Where's Black Dragon?"
Erza was equally puzzled. She turned her gaze to Chairman Makarov, and the worst possible scenario began to flood her mind. This caused Erza, who had experienced many things and whose heart was incredibly strong, to tremble uncontrollably.
Something's not right...something's very wrong...
"
In contrast, Makarov calmed down, observing his surroundings and trying to find clues that could reveal the truth.
With his two grandsons gone and the guild's sacred ground vanished, Makarov was naturally anxious, but the battle was over, and there was no use in being anxious. The most urgent task now was to gather clues and intelligence.
The situation with "Tianlang Island" is really too strange. Such a large island just disappeared into thin air.
It took them a while to get there, and they missed the battle entirely. The fighting here had already stopped after that huge explosion. That earth-shattering explosion clearly determined the outcome, but they couldn't tell who won or lost at all.
"Black Dragon" is gone, Moen is gone, and even "Sirius Island" is gone.
"What if the island gets sunk?"
Fried leaned out and looked down into the sea. The island had completely disappeared, possibly having sunk into the ocean. He frowned, worried about the safety of Laxus and Moen.
"I'll go down and take a look!"
Juvia immediately spoke, and although she was already panting heavily, she did not hesitate at all and jumped into the sea.
"Juvia! Come back quickly! It's too dangerous!"
Everyone's expression changed. Juvia and Aquarius were propelling the ship forward. Their magic had been greatly depleted along the way, and now they had to jump into the sea to find Sirius Island, which was too dangerous. They didn't know what the situation was or whether it was safe. Juvia was really anxious.
Aquarius Aquarius has returned to the Celestial Spirit Realm. Lucy was so exhausted that she couldn't move and could only rest on the side. Juvia wasn't in much better condition than Lucy, so it's no wonder everyone was worried about her safety.
"Thump!"
Erza, Mirajane, Emerald, Cana, and Abrams jumped directly into the sea, and Gray, Elfman, Fried, Bigelow, and the others quickly followed.
Only a few people remained on the ship. Lucy was exhausted of magic and had no strength left, while Natsu and Gajeel were seasick and felt dizzy.
There was no other way; in order to get there as soon as possible, Juvia and Aquarius sped up and had no time to care about the two "Dragon Slayer Mages".
"President, can that kid Moen... win?"
On the ship, Kirdas stood beside Makarov. He spoke hesitantly, noticing some strange phenomena on the sea. Bubbles were rising in some places, and it seemed as if bright red blood was evaporating the nearby seawater.
"That's... dragon blood..."
""
Makarov noticed this as well; it was the clue he was looking for.
Although the "dragon blood" spilled on the sea did not reveal the final outcome of the battle, it at least reassured them a little, because the "dragon blood" meant that Moen was clearly not helpless when facing the "black dragon".
That incredibly powerful "black dragon," which nearly caused Gildarts to lose half of his body with a single blow, also bled when facing Moen.
"It really was that kid Moen just now."
Gildarts sighed. The huge explosion just now was indeed a battle between Moen and the "Black Dragon". The two were not evenly matched, but they were at least evenly matched. Gildarts himself believed that he could never achieve that level of skill.
Moen, who was just a child a few years ago, has now grown into a true pillar of strength, and has even completely overwhelmed these old guys. In just a few years, he has completed a journey that others cannot finish in a lifetime.
"Buzz!"
Makarov didn't reply. He jumped onto the mast, his eyes gleaming as he looked into the distance.
"He was injured...very seriously...he walked very fast..."
'
Makarov spoke softly, the "dragon's blood" that steamed from the sea and lingered, stretching into the distance.
This indicates that the "black dragon" has left, and it left severely injured, escaping with "dragon blood" trailing behind it. Makarov deduced the situation from the trail of the "dragon blood".
"Buzz!"
Before Makarov could search for more clues, Erza had already rushed out of the water carrying the unconscious Juvia.
Erza, dressed in a green mermaid armor, laid Juvia down and let her rest next to Lucy.
"Did you...find it?"
Lucy looked at Erza with anticipation in her eyes.
Actually, Lucy shouldn't have been in such a sorry state, because she could also draw magic from "Cygnus," but Moen had drained too much of "Cygnus's" magic, leaving Lucy with very little magic left, which is why she had to burn through her magic to this extent.
"Found it! Sirius Island is right under the sea!"
Erza nodded solemnly, bringing good news: "Tenrou Island" had been found.
'
Lucy's eyes lit up for a moment, but then filled with worry, because she could tell that Erza wasn't very happy. Clearly, the situation on Tenrou Island was not optimistic.
"Was it really sunk?"
Gildarts frowned and asked Erza for confirmation.
"Yes, it was sunk, but... its condition is a bit strange."
Erza looked strange. The "Tenrou Island" that had sunk to the bottom of the sea was quite odd, and she couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Thump!"
Before Erza could finish speaking, the others boarded the ship one after another, all with strange expressions and puzzled looks on their faces.
"What happened?"
Makarov jumped down from the gun barrel and asked the crowd.
"President...Tenrou Island sank to the bottom of the sea, but...it wasn't destroyed. Instead, it's enveloped by a golden magical sphere."
Erza frowned and told her what she had seen.
"A golden sphere of light?!"
Makarov's eyes widened, and he confirmed it with some excitement.
"That's right, it even has our Fairy Tail logo on it. I tried it, and this ball of light is incredibly hard; it's impossible to break."
Mirajane took over the conversation. She had been very anxious, trying to enter the sphere of light to find Moen, but she couldn't budge it at all.
"Could it be Moeng's magic?"
Gray offered his guess, based on the fact that the golden sphere was filled with the aura of stellar magic, and only Moen's magic could manipulate stellar magic.
"No...that's one of the three great super magics of Fairy Tail, Fairy Ball, an absolute defense super magic."
Makarov gradually calmed down. He now knew the origin of the "golden orb" and had a rough idea of who had cast the spell. It certainly wasn't Moen, because that kid hadn't learned it at all.
"President Mavis..."
Makarov breathed a sigh of relief and uttered the name, a name he never expected to have an impact on the course of the battle.
Although Mavis was a powerful legendary mage in life, she was not strong after death. Makarov never expected that Mavis could be of any help, but clearly, he underestimated the first guild master.
Although Mavis's spirit was not particularly powerful, she seemed to have somehow borrowed Moen's magic and used it to unleash the "Fairy Sphere," protecting the entire "Tenrou Island."
"President Mavis?"
Makarov's words startled everyone. They naturally knew that there was a tomb of the first chairman, Mavis, on "Sirius Island," but they had never actually seen Mavis's spirit.
After all, Mavis had always been worried that she would cause the deaths of those around her, so she stayed in the graveyard as a recluse. She only came out to communicate with Moen and Makarov.
"Mount and Laxus... should be alright."
After learning that Chairman Mavis had released the "Fairy Sphere" to protect "Tenrou Island," Makarov felt completely relieved.
Since the Fairy Sphere was not broken and the Black Dragon escaped with serious injuries, it means that his two grandsons are probably alright, but they are just too weak to fight the Black Dragon anymore.
"Really?! They're all on Tenrou Island?!"
Makarov's words gave everyone confidence and excited the anxious crowd; there couldn't be better news.
"Let's go take another look together."
Makarov didn't answer; he jumped into the sea to see for himself.
At the same time, a new question arose in Makarov's mind. The "black dragon" had already escaped, and they had all arrived. Why hadn't Chairman Mavis deactivated the "Fairy Sphere" yet?
In fact, Mavis also wanted to untie it, but she didn't have the ability.
She unleashed the "Fairy Ball" spell entirely by drawing upon the stellar magic power of Moen and Laxus's magic. Now, without Moen and Laxus's help, she's completely helpless, and it will take her a very long time to dispel the spell.
Mavis was filled with regret. She regretted that she had acted too quickly. She hadn't expected that Moen would still have the strength to escape with Laxus. In the end, the effect of releasing the "Fairy Orb" was only to protect "Tenrou Island" from being destroyed.
In fact, Mavis didn't have much of an obsession with "Tenrou Island." Destroying it was no big deal; it was just an island after all.
She rushed to help only to protect Moen and Laxus, but in the end, it was all for nothing, and she even had to go through the trouble of dispelling the magic. It was a huge loss for her.
"That guy, Moen! He didn't even bother to come back and help!"
Mavis kept complaining as she worked hard, but then her eyes lit up when she saw Fairy Tail members arrive. They seemed to be looking for Moen, Laxus, and Tenrou Island.
"Makarov!"
Mebius did not appear at first, but only after Makarov went into the sea did she appear and come to Makarov and his men.
"Gurgle!"
Makarov opened his mouth and then gulped down a mouthful of seawater.
"I forgot about it."
Mavis chuckled and cast a simple bubble spell on Makarov, placing a bubble over his head so he could breathe and speak underwater. She still had the energy to use this simple little magic.
"Ahem! Guild Master Mavis! Where are Moen and Laxus?!"
Makarov coughed twice to adjust his breathing, then immediately asked, unable to contain himself and revealing his impatience.
"Huh? I didn't know. They just disappeared. Didn't they come back to look for you?"
Mavis paused for a moment, then shook her head and said that she really didn't know. After severely injuring the "Black Dragon," Moen and Laxus disappeared without a trace. She had no idea where they went, and Moen didn't leave any information behind.
"Disappeared?!"
Makarov's eyes widened, and worry began to creep into his heart once more. The other companions who had gone into the sea with Makarov were the same; their expressions became tense once more.
Meanwhile, Moen, whom everyone was worried about, was lying sprawled out on a lush green field. Laxus sat next to him, chewing on a blade of grass, his expression somewhat irritable.
How long will it take you to recover?
Laxus looked at Moen and couldn't help but ask again.
Moen kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, and as he remained silent, Laxus stared intently at him, his gaze fixed on his face.
"Just wait, it's still early."
Moen's lips twitched, and he answered helplessly.
The magic power of the Edolas world has been completely drained, making it unable to provide any more magic power. His own magic power has also been drained, and even his "qi" has been converted into magic power. His "cosmos" has also been overburned, and he is now in a state of exhaustion and needs to rest.
"As expected, relying on my sixth sense to use [Athena Exclamation] was too much of a stretch, and the strategy was a bit too aggressive. Fortunately, the goal has been achieved."
Moen sighed inwardly. Now, after using this move, he had basically lost his fighting ability. Bringing Laxus across the world to "Edras" was already pushing himself to the limit.
"That black dragon was already so badly injured, half of its body was destroyed by you, why did you still run away? I think I could have taken it down myself."
Laxus chewed on the green grass in his mouth and began to talk nonsense.
"Don't even think about it. Even if it were a black dragon like that, you wouldn't be a match for it."
Moen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, although the words were harsh, it was the truth: "Black Dragon" was severely injured, but it was far from being completely incapacitated.
That "black dragon" is a dung monster with terrifying vitality. It truly deserves to be called a real BOSS and is incredibly difficult to defeat!
