Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

The immense power that shook the sky could be felt throughout the entire town. Many residents of Oak Town looked up, seeing a beam of white light piercing the sky, with cracks spreading outward, turning the sky into a vast web. The river below twisted from the tremors, and the ground itself began to crack open.

The aftershocks alone caused significant changes to the landscape, triggering a powerful earthquake in Oak Town. Many citizens ran in panic toward open spaces, trying to avoid the destruction.

On the castle's platform, Erza narrowly dodged another attack from Juvia and looked up in shock. "This magic..." She had seen it before. She had personally experienced it—the same magic that shattered her 'Black Wing Armor'. But this time, the power was several times stronger.

…

At the castle's top level, the room had been obliterated, and the surrounding walls were gone. The overwhelming force from Nate's magic lasted nearly ten seconds before finally dissipating.

With a thud, Jose fell to one knee. His magic robe was in tatters, and his hat had disappeared. Blood covered his face, dripping from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

"Ugh... cough, cough..." Jose's face was ashen as he coughed up blood, staining the floor beneath him. His bloodshot eyes glared at Nate with intense hatred. The external injuries were bad enough, but the internal damage was the real issue. The shockwaves from the Tremor Magic had broken through his magic barrier, causing severe internal bleeding.

"Master Jose, I admire you," Nate said, lowering his right hand respectfully. "You dared to take my four-star super-magic head-on."

This was Nate’s full-powered attack. If directed at Oak Town, the entire city would have been reduced to rubble.

"Cough, cough..." Jose coughed again, clearly enraged. He staggered to his feet, barely able to stand, his breath labored and uneven. Even maintaining his balance seemed to require all his strength and willpower.

"Don't get cocky... you little brat!" Jose finally found the strength to speak, gritting his teeth. "Using all your magic in a single attack—if you can’t defeat your enemy, you’re left helpless!"

No mage in their right mind would do something so foolish. But today, Jose had witnessed it firsthand. He had almost been killed in a single blow!

Struggling, he raised his right hand.

"Shade Erosion."

A strange purple magic circle appeared before his hand, and sinister energy formed into tendrils that lashed out toward Nate.

In Jose's eyes, Nate's magic power should be completely drained. There was no way he could cast another spell.

However, Nate simply waved his hand, and with a crisp sound, shattered the purple tendrils with ease. Simultaneously, the magic power he had supposedly used up was instantly restored to full.

"Impossible!" Jose trembled, not from physical pain but from fear of the impossible scene before him.

"I told you earlier, Master Jose, magic power is something I can have in unlimited supply," Nate said with a calm smile, extending his right hand once more, a pale white glow appearing in his palm.

Half a star... one star... one and a half stars...

The magic power surged rapidly, and Jose, feeling deep terror in his soul, stood frozen in shock.

The same magic again? Could he use it infinitely? Impossible! This couldn’t be real! Maybe it was an illusion?

In his desperation, Jose even considered the possibility that he was trapped in some kind of illusion magic. Otherwise, there was no explanation for what was happening.

"Hmm?" Nate suddenly stopped his magic buildup and turned to look behind him.

Makarov descended from above, bathed in divine light. Jose immediately noticed him as well.

"Quite the sorry sight, Jose," Makarov said calmly as he landed beside Nate, observing his old rival with a steady gaze.

He had thought he was coming to save the children. But it seemed Jose hadn’t even been able to defeat Nate. Once again, Nate had exceeded his expectations.

"Makarov!" Jose gritted his teeth.

"You’re impressive, Jose. To have such great magic power at such a young age, your title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints is well deserved," Makarov said sincerely. Then, his tone shifted, becoming more severe. "But if you had used this power wisely, instead of wasting it on meaningless conflicts, you could have been a role model for the next generation."

For Jose, however, Makarov's words were nothing but an insult.

"Are you lecturing me?" Jose's veins bulged in fury, but his severe injuries prevented him from unleashing his full power.

"Watch closely, Nate!" Makarov said, taking a deep breath and bringing his hands together. "Your super magic is destructive, and the aftermath can cause irreversible damage to the surroundings."

"Now I’ll show you another type of super magic. Remember this. And next time, don’t act so recklessly!"

Is this Fairy Tail’s super magic? Nate focused his magic power into his Six Eyes, observing Makarov at full power.

Makarov spoke firmly, his voice carrying authority. "According to the judgment of 'Fairy Tail'! Jose, I’ll give you until the count of three to reconsider your actions. Kneel and repent, and end this pointless battle!"

Between Makarov’s hands, a small golden sphere of magic formed. Through Nate’s enhanced vision, he saw the energy level instantly reach three stars—and remain steady at that level.

"Kneel? Repent?!" Jose’s face twisted in rage, but despite his fury, his severe injuries left him unable to unleash his magic.

"One!" Makarov began counting.

Jose's face went pale.

"Two."

"I am Jose, leader of the Kingdom's strongest guild, one of the Ten Wizard Saints!" Facing a life-or-death situation, Jose summoned the last of his strength. "There’s no way I’ll kneel!"

With that, his dark purple magic transformed into countless tendrils, lashing out in all directions, aiming to strike both Makarov and Nate.

"Three... I’m sorry, Jose." Makarov clasped his hands together, and in that instant, a golden magic circle appeared, massive enough to cover half the city.

From the circle, brilliant rays of light descended, enveloping the earth below.

"'Fairy Law,' activate!"

In a flash, the entire area was bathed in divine, radiant light. Nate looked up at the massive magic circle, seeing the profound magic contained within it. At that moment, everyone in the city paused, basking in the warmth of the holy light.

When the light finally faded, Jose was kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. His hair had turned completely white, his face aged by what seemed like decades in mere moments.
