"My beloved Erza, for the sake of my ideals, sacrifice your body to me!"

At some point, Gerard had appeared in the sky above the large ship.

Erza, without hesitation, summoned two magic swords and charged at him.

"Gerard, you damn bastard, lie down!"

"This magical power is even stronger than Jose's—this is definitely Saint Ten level!"

George frowned immediately. He had expected Gerard to be strong, but not stronger than Jose, whom they had fought last time. That battle had taken the combined effort of the entire guild, with Natsu's powerful fire magic draining a significant portion of the opponent's magical energy.

"Let's go together!"

Erza was definitely no match for Gerard on her own, so George quickly spread his wings and charged forward, with Natsu, Gray, and Juvia following closely behind.

Simon and the others were too injured to assist, and Lucy took out the key to the Water Bearer Celestial Spirit.

"Just you lot?"

Gerard sneered, his body suddenly disappearing into the air.

"Meteor!"

"It's not that he's disappearing—his speed is just too fast."

George, using his extraordinary visual ability, saw that Gerard was surrounded by a layer of starlight, accelerating like a meteor.

He dodged Erza's strongest sword technique, which had previously destroyed Pigeon, then kicked both Natsu and Gray off the ship.

However, when he attacked Juvia, she evaded by turning her body into water in time.

"Seven Star Sword!"

Seven stars appeared behind Gerard, and with a thunderous force, they struck Juvia, who had transformed into water. The magical attack blasted her into the sea.

"Railgun!"

A coin, charged with immense electricity, shot toward Gerard's back.

George, seeing Gerard's movements, took action as well.

"Such an attack can't hurt me."

Gerard turned and used his starry-fisted punch to shatter the railgun blast, then transformed into a streak of light and charged at George.

"A level-four railgun is still too weak for a Saint Ten mage."

Had it been Misaka Mikoto's three-times-supersonic railgun, Gerard would have been far more cautious and not dared to block it with his fist.

"Change!"

Gerard's speed was overwhelming, making it difficult to hit him with magic other than the railgun. So, George conjured a magic circle around his body, transforming from a palm-sized golden kitten into a giant ten-meter-tall cat.

"Electroshock!"

Not content with just growing in size, George used a voltage of two hundred million volts to stimulate every cell in his body, further enhancing his physical strength and speed.

"Get away!"

With paws as large as millstones, crackling with electricity, George swiped fiercely at Gerard, who was charging at him.

When their fists and claws collided, George's superior strength sent Gerard flying through the air.

"Go!"

At the same time, George sent a flurry of razor-sharp blades toward Gerard, who had been sent flying.

When facing a Saint Ten-level mage, there was no room for hesitation. He had to go all-out to have a chance at victory.

"Open, the Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!"

Below on the sea, Lucy inserted her Golden Celestial Spirit Key into the water.

A blue magic circle rose, and the mermaid Aquarius appeared, holding a magic bottle. With veins bulging in her arms, she shouted in fury:

"You little brat, interrupting my date again! All of you die!"

With the terrifying magic power rivaling that of an S-Class mage, the water inside the magic bottle surged, forming a massive tsunami that rushed toward the falling Gerard.

"Ah!"

However, the ferocious tsunami didn't just sweep Gerard away—it also engulfed Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Lucy, and the ship they were on as it plunged into the water.

This was truly an indiscriminate, wide-range attack.

"Armor of the Giant! Spear of Evil Destruction!"

Erza, who had narrowly missed Gerard's attack, donned the strongest Giant Armor, channeling all her power into the spear that could destroy all evil. She hurled it toward Gerard, who had been swept into the sea by the tsunami.

"Interesting. Then I'll play with you all."

Facing this multi-faceted attack, which would surely have been fatal for most S-Class mages, Gerard showed no signs of panic on his face.

He crossed his arms, and a black magic circle immediately appeared.

"Fall into the endless darkness... Dark Paradise!"

A black hole, as if capable of swallowing everything, suddenly appeared. Countless sharp blades, the sea, and Erza's giant spear were all sucked into the black hole and instantly exploded.

The powerful shockwave sent George, Erza, Aquarius, and Lucy, along with the others, flying backward.

"Ice Formation: Great Platform!"

A white magic circle lit up in the water, and a massive ice platform spread out on the sea, catching the group that had been knocked back. It was Gray, who had recovered and used his ice magic.

"He's damn strong."

George, now back to his normal size, landed on the ice platform and couldn't help but curse.

Even with so many S-Class mages attacking together, Gerard had shattered their combined efforts with a single spell. He was even more terrifying than Jose had been.

"I'll share a secret that will make you despair. The Jose Guild Master, whom you all defeated with the entire guild, ranks lower than a mere thought body of mine in the Saint Ten rankings."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you—The reason the Council used Magic Spirit Energy is that I sent a thought body under the alias Zikrein. You've probably heard of that name."

"Zikrein!"

George's pupils constricted at the mention of the name.

He certainly knew that name. Zikrein was one of the most famous Saint Ten mages, the youngest Saint Ten, and a council member. Yet, no photos of him had ever surfaced.

To think that he was merely a thought body of Gerard.

A thought body was a highly advanced magic that only top-tier S-Class mages could learn. It was difficult but very useful. It allowed the caster to create a real, separate avatar that could possess up to half of the caster's strength and could be recalled at any time, regardless of distance.

The fact that Gerard's thought body ranked higher than Jose, even with only half his strength, made it clear just how terrifying Gerard's full power would be.

"Don't forget, a person's strength can improve!"

Taking advantage of Gerard's tendency to monologue, George used telepathic communication to signal Natsu, instructing him to start feeding Gerard with Extreme Fire.

After the Ghost War, everyone had grown stronger, especially Natsu. With Extreme Fire being continually fed to him, he seemed to have unlocked some sort of special power, drastically improving his ability to withstand the flames.

"Oh, improvement? Then let me show you the true gap in strength!"

Standing atop the floating Celestial Magic circle, Gerard laughed wildly, his magical energy spiraling out of control. The surrounding air began to distort.

"True Celestial Magic—Starfall!"

A massive magic circle appeared above his head, and a gigantic meteor, trailing endless flames, fell from the sky toward everyone below.

The meteor's descent was unstoppable, capable of turning an entire city into ashes with a single strike.
