Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 46
Hargeon, once a peaceful and beautiful little town, was now burned to the ground with all the buildings in rubbles.
Ultear was standing just outside the town with dozens of Jupiter cannon behind her.
They have already retreated back to the town, else the gigantic titan will stomp them to death.
They have already fired 8 Jupiter cannons and they only managed to force it to take a couple of steps back, it didn’t even receive any damage.
“Dammit!”
Ultear cursed and gritted her teeth as she watch the gigantic abomination slowly walk towards them, with each step causing a small earthquake.
From her estimation, it will take the titan at least five minutes before it reach Hargeon.
“Ultear-sama!”
Ultear turn around and saw three girls running towards her, one with emerald-green hair and two with matching silver hair, one short and one long.
Ultear recognize the green haired, who wouldn’t? She’s the princess of Fiore of after all, as for the silver haired, one of them she recognized.
The older one, the one with long silver hair, she know her, she once belong to a dark guild that is part of the Balam Alliance.
Angel, or rather, Sorano.
As for the younger silver haires girl, she doesn’t know her, but Ultear guessed that she and Angel must be related, well the hair is already a big giveaway.
“Ultear-sama, haa~ haa~” Hisui took a deep breaths, this was probably the longest time she had ever ran.
“Ultear, well, I heard that you were pardoned?” Angel said as she glance at Ultear with curious eyes.
Ultear smiled and nodded, “Yeah, though it still isn’t official, they planned to pardon my sins after this, my new guild master is already processing it.”
“You joined a guild?” Angel was a bit startled, “what guild is it?”
“Yeah, well, its Fairy Tail.”
“FAIRY TAIL!?”
“Haha, yeah.”
Angel was about to ask more question but she felt tugged on her sleeve, she turned her head and saw her little sister looking at her.
She smiles and quickly hugged her while rubbing her cheeks to hers.
“Aww~ my dear little sister Yukino, you are so~ so~ so~ cute!”
“So-Sorano-neesama..” Yukino struggled to break free but her strength simply couldn’t be compared to an S-class mage like Sorano.
Ultear watch the two of them in amus.e.m.e.nt, but that quickly went away when she remembered about the titan.
“Princess, I guess the reason you are is about that spell of yours right?” Ultear asked, though she already knew about it.
“Yes. With three celestial mages, I can finally cast it, and I assure you, at the very least it could severely weaken the titan, there is even a chance that we’ll be able to kill it.”
Ultear noddes her head, “Good, I believe in you, just like how Natsu-sama does.”
“You two, enough showing off your affection and help the princess here.”
Sorano reluctantly let of her sister and walk towards Hisui as the three of them held hands and kneeled on the ground.
“I ask that the heavens make the stars descend to earth.” Hisui began to chant as powerful aura encased the three of them.
Ultear took some distance and ordered the others to gain some distance from them as well.
Liem, who was calmly sitting on top of the titan, suddenly felt some danger, he narrowed his eyes as he saw an aura that even cause his soul to tremble.
He ordered the titan to ran and stop the caster from casting the spell as he knew that it will be very dangerous.
Ultear, noticed the titan running towards and knew that the person riding it must’ve know that the spell is very dangerous and wanted to stop.
“Like hell I will allow you!” Ultear said before she raised her arm and pointed at the running titan,
“NO MATTER WHAT! DON’T LET THAT THING INTERRUPT THE SPELL! STOP IT AT ALL COST! FIRE THE REMAINING JUPITER CANNON!”
A Jupiter cannon fired and hit the Titan’s body, only for it to flinch but didn’t stop running towards them.
Seeing this, Ultear couldn’t help but turn towards the mages in charged of the cannon and shouted, “WHAT THE HELL!? AIM AT ITS LEGS! LEGS!”
Two beams from the cannon shot towards the titan aiming at its legs, causing the titan to fall down.
Ultear nodded and glanced at the three celestial, she put her bet on them, the stake are their lives. If the spell could kill the titan then everything will be alright.
But if not, then, she would have to kiss her life goodbye..
“Illuminate… by all means… this land… this world… this land!” Hisui continue her chant as the aura around them got even stronger.
The titan then managed to stand up as it continue to ran towards them.
“By your hand, let everything be illuminated.” She continue, as the aura trembled and surged towards the sky.
When the titan was only fifty meters away, it stop moving and swung its arm. Ultear saw this and stepped forward with her clenched fist clasp to her palm.
“Ice make: Rose Garden!” She announced, as hundreds upon hundreds of enormous rose made of ice appeared and held the titan’s arms.
However, no matter how many roses there are, it all ends up getting destroyed by the titan’s swing and the best it could do was to slow it down.
“Damn, Restore!”
The broken shards of ice moved and returned to being an ice rose and held the titan once again, only for it to be destroyed, and restored once again.
Ultear’s magic was rapidly decreasing by simultaneously using ice make magic and her arc of time.
“Twinkling, shooting, falling… Let the stars descend before us!” Hisui loudly chanted, as Liem widened his eyes.
“No, no, no, no, NOOOO!!” Liem shouted in anger, he then gritted his teeth and turn towards his guild mates, “Leave! Now!”
All of them jump away from the titan and retreated.
“GOTTFRIED!!” As Hisui announced the name of the spell, a powerful blast of magic shot towards the titan.
A massive explosion occurred, as the upper body of the titan was completely destroyed.
Stunned, Ultear stared at the lower body of the body, then she let out a smile as she fell down, her magic power was completely drained.
Along with her, the three celestial mages, Hisui, Yukino, and Sorano also fell down. The pain they experienced from casting Gottfried was too much for them bear.
Despite their victory, no one cheered, as they knew that there are still hundreds of titans running amok in Hargeon.
Suddenly, Ultear saw Liem standing not to far away from them, behind him were other members of Smiling Reaper.
She pushed her body to stand up as she glared at him, even though she saw the titan already killed, she can’t help but feel restless when she saw the smirk on his face.
“Impressive,” Liem said as he watched the mages in front of him, “Though its still too early to celebrate don’t you think? You all really underestimate the power of the crown.”
To prove his words, he injected a large amount of magic power to the crown, causing it to shine.
Suddenly, the other titans also shined as crystal popped out of their head and flew towards Liem, leaving the other titans immobile.
Liem grinned as he wave his hands and the crystals flew towards the lower body of the titan that got blown by Gottfried.
The body began to shine as it grew larger and larger. When the light subsides, the titan who is only a hundred meters tall, grew to a whooping three hundred meters.
Ultear stared at the newly revived and more powerful titan in despair. She clenched her fist and bit her lip until it bleeds.
“Damn!” She slammed her fist to the ground, as tears started to fall from her eyes.
“With its new size, it will only need three steps for it to reach the shore,” Liem said with a smile, “Let’s see if you can stop it again.”
“But first, you’ll have to die,” Liem suddenly appeared in front of Ultear, as he grabbed her by the neck.
Ultear look at him with tears in her eyes as Liem just grinned. His hand was covered a orange aura with the shape of a sword.
Ultear closed her eyes, however, the pain she expected to feel did not arrived, slowly, she opened her eyes, and saw someone holding Liem’s hands.
She let out a smile, and cried, but this time it was because of joy.
