Super Magic: Fairy Law—a spell created by Mavis that crosses the taboo of true gods.
It uses both magic power and life force as the price to summon divine light and purge darkness. Once someone is judged as an enemy, they cannot dodge—only take the attack head-on based on their strength.
So when George cast this spell, all members of the Guardian Twelve Shields were affected.
Those with a wide power gap, no matter how well they hid, would be incapacitated—like the assassin who had been lurking invisibly to launch another sneak attack.
Even if someone was strong enough to endure it, as long as they weren't vastly stronger than George, they would still suffer considerable damage.
"Not good!"
August and Irene, who were responsible for holding the formation, turned pale. One instantly activated their Possession of Malice mode, while the other transformed into a massive red dragon.
In fact, when George forcibly extracted the divine soul from the War Empress, both had already sensed that the situation was spiraling out of control.
But they hadn't expected George to move so swiftly and ruthlessly, each of his subsequent spells proving even harder to deal with.
"So it really was you!"
As the light of Fairy Law faded and George saw August spitting blood and Irene transformed into a red dragon, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
He had suspected Irene from the moment he entered the palace.
She gave off a presence extremely similar to the dragon of law, Elefseria. She was either a dragon who had taken on human form or a Dragon Slayer mage who could transform into a dragon.
Later, when George accessed the Desert King's memories, he learned her full name: Irene Belserion.
That name was all too familiar. She was the one Elefseria had mentioned—the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic over 400 years ago.
So he deduced that Irene, having created the magic, had eventually turned into a dragon and survived until modern times thanks to a dragon's extraordinary lifespan.
"I really underestimated you. A cat, of all things, wielding such power and knowing so many spells...
But since His Majesty personally ordered your execution, I can't disobey. After all, it was he who restored my human form—at least on the surface."
Irene's magic surged dramatically in her dragon form, and her defense capabilities skyrocketed in every aspect.
She looked at George and immediately activated her most powerful spell:
"Celestial Magic: Starfall of the Divine!"
A massive red magic circle appeared high in the sky, pulling a terrifying meteor from outer space down toward George.
Unlike Jellal's Celestial Magic, Irene's was the real deal—true Celestial Magic—directly dragging down an actual celestial body to use as a weapon.
"There it is! The strongest Celestial Magic—Starfall of the Divine, capable of destroying an entire continent!"
The wounded Guardian Twelve Shields, now protected by the Magic King's barrier, cried out in awe as they saw the meteor descending from the heavens.
Irene was known as The Scarlet Despair because once she cast Starfall of the Divine, all that remained for her enemies was despair.
This wasn't just national-level destruction. If such a meteor struck, even a continent would face catastrophic devastation.
That's also why the Twelve Shields looked down on the Eastern Continent. If Irene got serious, she could destroy it single-handedly.
Those things like Etherion or FACE couldn't deploy nearly as fast as Starfall of the Divine.
"This is insane!"
On the other side, Natsu and the others stared at the plummeting meteor, dumbfounded.
"George, quick! Use Fairy Sphere!"
At that moment, the only one still thinking clearly—Mavis—shouted loudly at George.
No matter how strong Starfall of the Divine was, if George used her to activate Fairy Sphere, they could all be protected from harm.
"No need. She's a dragon... and so am I."
But George merely smiled, spun in place, and transformed into a dragon himself.
If it were just Irene, Fairy Sphere might've sufficed to defend against Starfall of the Divine.
But the Magic King was still there, watching and waiting for a chance to strike.
According to the Desert King's memories, August—known as Calamity—was even more powerful than dragon-formed Irene.
More importantly, he had mastered all magic known on the Western Continent. It was said that the number of spells he knew exceeded even Zeref.
This meant he almost certainly had mastery over time magic as well.
If August were to cancel Fairy Sphere the moment the meteor struck, it would spell disaster.
So the only real solution was to eliminate the threat directly—by destroying the meteor.
Truthfully, in his previous state, George wasn't confident he could fully shield everyone from the blast. But as a dragon, that changed.
"The Guildmaster turned into a dragon too!"
As George shifted from a giant cat into a massive dragon, everyone below widened their eyes—especially the Fairy Tail members like Natsu.
"Break for me!"
Powerful lightning surged through his body, and dazzling golden light radiated from his scales. George didn't cast any attack magic. Instead, he flew straight at the meteor and struck it with a claw.
An explosive surge of energy erupted, and the meteor shattered mid-air.
"Warm-up's over. Let's get to the main course!"
After smashing the meteor, George landed in front of August and Irene, a hint of excitement in his voice.
It had been a long time since he fought at full power, and the thrill of battle was finally stirring his blood.
The Magic King August and Irene—the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic—were opponents worth getting fired up for.
Once he defeated them and copied their memories, he expected to gain a great deal.
Before transforming, his magic power had been slightly weaker than theirs. But after dragonification, he was confident in defeating them both.
And after absorbing the divine soul of the Time God, his magic power had skyrocketed. Even before transforming, he was now roughly equal to them.
Now, in dragon form, all his stats had increased dramatically. Victory was certain—it was just a matter of how long it would take.
"Irene, do you think you can handle him?"
August, staring at George whose overwhelming magic made even him uneasy, sent a telepathic message to the already dragonified Irene.
Irene shook her dragon head and replied:
"Not alone. He shattered my Starfall of the Divine with raw strength. After transforming, he's far stronger than I am."
Even among dragons, there were levels of power.
Acnologia, the Black Dragon, had slaughtered nearly all dragonkind. At this moment, George's aura felt no less terrifying than his.
"Then we fight together. Funny—this is our first time teaming up against a single enemy."
With that, August unleashed all of his magical power.
"For His Majesty!"
"Roar of the Wise Dragon!"
Irene charged forward, wings spread wide to act as a living shield, while August followed behind, unleashing a barrage of magical firepower.
Slowing nerve responses, distorting space to create destructive spirals of pain, wide-area ruin spells, searing light beams—
Before the two sides even clashed, August had already used dozens of top-tier spells.
Each one was as powerful and devastating as the ultimate moves of an elite Twelve Shields-level mage.
George's eyes lit up in pure anticipation.
