The third Ultra Fairy Ball, this was the magic George least expected.
Because it turned out to be a time magic, freezing the time around himself to achieve an absolute defensive effect.
Considering that it is a time magic and requires a solid foundation, it is not surprising that Makarov cannot learn it. Time magic is one of the most difficult spells to learn, and even if one wanted to learn it, they would need a strong base.
Time magic in this world has become a lost magic, and there is no relevant magic knowledge available.
There is absolutely no reference to be had.
However, for him, it is not entirely without hope.
After all, the Harry Potter world has a lot of time magic, and he has been studying time magic and has a foundation in this area.
And if other worlds appear later on, there might also be some new knowledge related to time magic.
"George, George, the Magic Show is about to start!"
At 10 p.m., George was called away from the underground library by Mirajin.
In front of the guild, everyone was already prepared, and Makarov, wearing a comical clown suit, looked at George and smiled.
"You lead the team as the next guild president, I'll be your rear guard, and we'll circle around the entire Margonov City, and then it will be over."
"Understood."
George's body shimmered with sparks of electricity:
"Thunder Giant!"
The Thunder Giant, towering over two hundred meters, rose from the ground, with George's body growing larger and standing on the giant's head. His paw flicked out.
"The Fairy Tail Magical Parade, now begins!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone cheered together, and the team driving the vehicles for the performance followed George, heading towards the main road of Margonov City.
And the residents of the town and the incoming tourists had already been waiting for a long time.
As they saw the two-hundred-meter tall Thunder Giant and George on top of it, everyone couldn't help but excitedly scream, it was simply too shocking.
A plethora of fireworks ascended into the sky over the city, and the mages in the carriages showcased their abilities, contributing their own splash of color to the parade.
Kana's brilliant magic cards danced in the air, Makao's purple flames and Vakaba's smoke rings drew hearts in the sky.
Ravi, Lucy, and Iris danced cheerfully on the high platform of the carriage, Elza changed into a beautiful suit of armor and manipulated magic weapons flying in the sky.
Gray crafted an ice sculpture castle, Zebia controlled water to draw the Fairy Tail sign behind the castle, and Natsu spat flames that exploded in the air.
The entire town was surrounded by various beautiful magic, creating a scene of beauty and fantasy.
Two days later, George bid farewell to everyone in the guild and set off on his journey to North Continent to retrieve the century task.
What the century task specifically entails, Makarov does not know either; he only knows that the issuer is the oldest mage guild on the North Continent, Dragon Labyrinth, and that the task mainly involves dragons.
"Hurry up, full speed ahead!"
With his wings spread, George opened up speed and headed northward towards the North Continent.
It normally takes about a month to travel to the North Continent by ship, and he didn't have that much time to waste on a boat.
He had to obtain a dragon crystal within two months, fusing the advantages of dragons from three worlds in order to obtain the most suitable dragon body for his transformation as an Arimaruka.
So, after flying continuously for three days without rest on the high seas, he finally saw the North Continent.
"The scenery of different continents is quite different."
Landing on the coast, George ate some food and took a short rest. Looking at the flying fish in the sky and various strange creatures and plants on the land, he couldn't help but express his admiration.
"Let's find Kilgas first."
Instead of immediately going to the Dragon Labyrinth to retrieve the century task, he first cast a tracking spell to locate Kilgas's position.
During his time in the guild, he had used a tracking spell on Kilgas, indirectly determining that Kilgas had not died through the tracking spell.
Normally, once the target being tracked dies, the tracking spell cannot track it anymore.
So, after using the tracking spell, if there's no effect, it's most likely that the target is either dead or has been sealed, or possibly the enemy has detected and shielded against it.
And if it shows normally, at least you can be absolutely sure that the target is alive.
Because of this, he was determined to accept the century task and search for clues about dragons.
Otherwise, if Kilgas, who is more powerful than Makarov, has died in the task, he would have to consider whether it was worth the risk to come to the North Continent.
Why not go directly to the Dragon Labyrinth, instead of first finding Kilgas?
That's because he is more cautious.
Kilgas not completing the task in three years indicates a high level of difficulty, and he has no knowledge at all about the Dragon Labyrinth, the oldest mage guild.
It's better to first find out the general situation of the task by asking Kilgas before going to accept it in a haze.
Since he can find Kilgas within a day with the tracking spell, there's no rush.
"Direction revealed: Kilgas Klevi!"
As a golden arrowhead appeared, George once again spread his wings and flew out.
Flying in the air, George looked down at the scenery of the North Continent. There were also many towns here, and the level of magic civilization was similar to that of the East Continent. The only difference was that there were only a few railway lines in place, unlike those on the East Continent which were fully covered.
Five hours later, in the midst of a desolate mountain range, George, who was flying along the golden arrowhead, suddenly made an abrupt stop and stared ahead in shock, exclaiming:
"It's a dragon!!!"
Indeed, at this moment, he saw a giant black dragon circling in the air ahead.
The aura of the black dragon was incredibly terrifying, so much so that even with his current strength, his body involuntarily trembled slightly. His intuition told him so.
If he were to fight that black dragon, it would likely result in him being killed outright, a very cruel fate.
"Are all the dragons in this world this strong?"
He had expected that there might be living dragons on the North Continent. Although the existence of dragons was already a legend, both Natsu and Gajil were raised by dragons and taught the dragon-slaying magic.
He had not expected, however, that the dragons in this world were so strong.
In terms of overall strength, he is definitely at the level of Saint Ten, and he is among the top mage of Saint Ten.
According to Makarov's judgment, his strength should already be at the level of the Four Great Kings of the East Continent.
However, against the dragon in front of him, he felt that he had no chance at all.
Even the dragons of Middle Earth and Sauron didn't give him this level of crisis.
"It seems that it won't be easy to kill a dragon and refine a dragon crystal."
George immediately suppressed all his auras and used the Invisibility Charm to become invisible, in case the other party discovered him.
And at the same time, he was ready to escape by using the Illusionary Teleportation Charm at any moment.
"Bane-Slaying to Righteousness - A Day!"
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud roar, saw an orange-haired middle-aged man standing on a small mountain and charging into the sky, punching the black dragon.
"Such strong magic! That guy is—Kilgas!"
