Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 724 The Divine Palace Opens (First Update)

Let's take stock of the strength of the mages on Jerry's side who are currently present, excluding Zeref and Mavis who cannot exert their full strength due to the shielding spell.

There is a Magic King who claims to be proficient in all magic, past and present; Irene, the founder of Enchanting Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic who has lived for over four hundred years; and Preston, the second-generation guild master who is proficient in various dark magic and lost magic.

And all of them are S-class strength, including the former vice president of Demon Heart and members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

There's also Jellal, a former member of parliament and a level 10 Wizard, and the three members of the S-class assassination wizard trio.

This doesn't even include the original Fairy Tail's group of mages, including Natsu and Gray.

Therefore, Laxus and his Thunder Legion, who have just returned, may not have a clear understanding of the overall strength of the Fairy Tail mages under Jerry's leadership.

"Alright, everyone calm down, especially you, old man!"

Seeing Makarov already jumping onto the referee's table, Laxus placed his hand on Lucy's head:

"Next, I'm going to play a game. The game is very simple: the strongest player will be chosen through battle, and the future of the guild will be led by the strongest player."

These stone statues are the hostages. If even one of you breaks my rules, I'll crush one statue; if there are two, I'll crush both!

"Hmm, this sounds quite interesting. I'll defeat you then, Laxus!"

Upon hearing Laxus's suggestion, Natsu below was instantly ignited and charged towards Laxus.

However, before he could even get halfway there, he was knocked to the ground by Laxus's lightning.

"Natsu, I like your personality, but I don't like your tendency to boast."

After defeating Natsu in one move, Laxus laughed triumphantly.

However, his laughter was abruptly cut short before it ended, as Erza's angry roar came from behind him.

"Laxus, how dare you betray the guild!"

Then an enormous spear thrust out from behind Laxus, startling him so much that he quickly dodged to the side.

"boom!"

The spear was stuck in the stands, leaving a crater four or five meters deep.

"As expected of Erza."

Seeing the performance stage that was half gone, the Fairy Tail mages below couldn't help but gasp.

"How could this happen?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the stage, Laxus and the Thunder Gods, seeing Erza and the other female mages who had all been freed from petrification, had their expressions change instantly.

Abbagrim's petrifying eye can only be broken by herself once she is petrified, unless the opponent's magic power is much higher than her own.

Erza is an S-rank character, but theoretically, she shouldn't be able to break free of her petrification magic on her own, let alone completely break it.

"You won't allow it if you try to hurt my lovely daughter!"

Just then, a woman with red hair, who looked about 80% like Erza but was even more alluring, stepped out from the crowd.

She was Erza's mother, Irene, and it was she who had just used separation magic to separate all the petrification magic from Erza and the others, restoring them to normal.

Eileen's strongest form is her dragon form, but aside from that, her magical skills are also among the best in this world.

Even Jerry, who had already gained a deep understanding of many laws, still learned a great deal from discussing magic with her.

Besides being proficient in all sorts of strange magic such as flying and telekinesis, Eileen has researched and developed the additional magic she invented to its fullest extent, enabling her to do many unimaginable things.

Her enchantment magic can be applied to everything; it can add hardness to a wooden stick, making it harder than a diamond, and it can add warmth to the earth, turning icy snow into a vibrant spring.

It can add heat to create a giant fireball to attack enemies, it can add vibration to cause a terrifying earthquake, and it can add teleportation to reverse the positions of everyone on a continent.

She also has an extremely destructive magic attack called God's Collapse, which directly adds a meteor shower, making it more than ten times stronger than Jellal's Celestial Collapse.

If it were just these things, Jerry wouldn't really care too much, as he knows a lot of powerful destructive magic.

What he cared about was that Eileen's enchantment magic could actually enchant personality, appearance, magic power, and separation, and remove any abnormal status; it was practically omnipotent.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing Irene appear, Laxus's face turned solemn. He didn't recognize Irene, but he could sense the immense magical power within her.

"Little one, I'm Erza's mother, and also a new member of the Fairy Tail guild."

Eileen smiled, revealing the Fairy Tail crest on the back of her hand.

"Erza's mother!"

Laxus's lips twitched. How come Erza had gained a mother and joined the guild after only a short time away from the guild, and her magical power was so strong?

"Laxus, I've set up the spell. Let's retreat first; there's no chance of winning if we stay here!"

At that moment, Fred, the calmest among Thor's crew, whispered a reminder to Laxus.

He sensed something was wrong as soon as the selection competition started. There were many new faces in the guild that he had never seen before, as well as the first generation who had died and the second generation who had left the guild decades ago, who were actually sitting at the referee's table.

However, the situation has reached a point where it is inevitable to proceed. Even if the current situation is not quite as expected, we can only continue with the plan.

However, he was very confident in his technique and was confident that he could keep things stable even with some new faces.

"Since that's the case, then I'll use the entire town as hostages, sir. We've already activated the forbidden magic, the Divine Sound Palace, above the town. If you don't follow my rules, the entire town of Magnolia and its inhabitants will die!"

Laxus grabbed his Thors minions, left behind his last words, and vanished from the stage in a flash of lightning.

"That clueless brat actually opened the Divine Palace! What is he trying to do?!"

Upon hearing this, Makarov roared loudly.

The Temple of Divine Sound is a special magic composed of more than three hundred magic crystals that contain lightning. When the lightning is released at full power, it can instantly turn a town into ashes.

Furthermore, each lightning crystal is imbued with bio-linkage magic, so any attack on the crystal will result in a counterattack of the same degree.

"Actually, it's pretty good. The guild hasn't been this lively in a long time. Let's go out and check out the situation!"

Jerry got up, offered Makarov a few words of comfort, and then led everyone out of the guild.

Seeing this, Maklov's anger subsided considerably, because he knew that with Jerry and so many powerful mages present, even the Temple of Divine Sound wouldn't pose any real threat.
