The Alvarez Empire, Council Chamber.

A shimmering, water-like projection screen displayed the scene unfolding on the western coast. The atmosphere in the room was tense. Even from afar, through the magical projection, they could feel the oppressive aura emanating from Dimaria.

"Who… who is that person?"

The Winter General, Invel, standing beside God Serena, spoke, a hint of surprise in his voice.

"I can confirm that His Majesty did not create this demon."

"Nor is he from Ishgar." God Serena said with a cold smile. "I've never seen anyone like him in Ishgar. Well, it's a vast continent. It's not surprising that a few powerful individuals would emerge. I suppose I'll go and deal with him."

Invel spoke calmly.

"Very well. I'll leave this matter to you. Find out this young man's true purpose for coming to Alvarez. If he's like you, we might be able to recruit him. After all, we'll soon be facing the Dragon King. Otherwise… eliminate him. We can't afford any mistakes at this juncture."

God Serena nodded. "Then I shall meet this Mage from Ishgar,"

...

As God Serena appeared on the western coast, the atmosphere instantly shifted. Even those observing through the magical projection could feel the change, the pressure emanating from the God of Ishgar.

"Who… who is that?"

A nearby imperial soldier, observing God Serena, stammered, his eyes wide with shock.

"What's happening…?"

The soldiers closest to God Serena froze, their bodies rigid. Those with weaker constitutions collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably as he walked past.

Invel stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm as he watched the scene unfold on the projection. "His magical pressure is too strong. Ordinary mages can't even stand in his presence. It seems our 'Comrade' favored by the 8 Dragon Lacrimas will bring us another victory."

When two mages had a significant difference in their magical power, the stronger one could simply overwhelm the weaker with their aura, rendering them helpless. Gildarts had demonstrated this ability, incapacitating weaker mages without even using magic.

Larcade turned his gaze towards the projection of God Serena. "He… is likely stronger than all of us."

"Indeed." Invel nodded. "Probably two levels stronger. Only the Magic King and Irene are stronger."

"Two levels?!"

Bloodman, was stunned. He couldn't believe it. "How is that possible…? Even the strongest mage in Ishgar should only be on par with us, the Spriggan 12."

Invel glanced at him, explaining casually, "Just as the Wizard Saints of Ishgar have varying levels of power, with a significant gap between the top four and the rest, and an even greater gap between the top three and the number one, there's a similar disparity among us."

"Even though each of the Spriggan 12 possesses the power of the strongest mage in Ishgar, we must acknowledge that there are differences between us."

The others exchanged glances, a tacit understanding passing between them. At their level, numbers were meaningless. They had to admit that the Magic King, August, and Irene Belserion were on another level entirely.

God Serena facing Ian, spoke. "You insignificant worm from Ishgar. I will end you now. Of course, if you're willing to join the Spriggan 12, we can be comrades."

Ian scoffed. "You're from Ishgar, too. Are you calling yourself a worm?"

God Serena roared in anger. He was born in Ishgar, but his power had long since reached its peak. "Though I was born in Ishgar, I am no worm like you. My power has long since reached its peak. You claim to be from Ishgar, yet I've never heard of you…"

Ian replied calmly, "If you were to return to Ishgar now, perhaps you would hear of me. But I know you well. You are the second-generation Dragon Slayer, implanted with eight different Dragon Lacrimas."

Serena was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered, a smug smile on his face. "Since you know so much about me, you must also know my power. Surrender now and follow me to the Imperial Palace for judgment."

Ian shook his head. "Your power is nothing special. I came here after defeating a dragon, one that was apparently called Acnologia."

"It fled too quickly, in search of Zeref. That's why I've come to Alvarez." Ian said slowly.

Serena was enraged. He couldn't tolerate Ian's arrogance any longer. "You dare to continue your lies?!"

The Dragon King? The one who had brought about the end of the world four hundred years ago? Even Zeref, who had assembled the Spriggan 12, was still searching for Fairy Heart, just to prepare for Acnologia. And this young mage claimed to have defeated him?

It was preposterous.

Serena attacked. He began with Cavern Dragon's Earth Collapse, a powerful Earth Dragon Slayer Magic. The ground around them shattered, as if in the grip of a powerful earthquake.

But to Serena's astonishment, Ian stomped his foot, negating the spell. It was unbelievable. Serena, momentarily stunned, was certain it was a coincidence. No one could resist the destructive power of his Dragon Slayer Magic, unless they were stronger than him. He began to sweat. He then unleashed his Purgatory Dragon's Hellfire.

The temperature around them soared, transforming the landscape into a scorching inferno.

"Purgatory Dragon's Hellfire!"

"Do you feel the heat of hell? If you can't stand it, beg me, and I'll stop!"

"Ice Age."

Ian waved his hand, and a wave of white energy washed over the area. The inferno was instantly extinguished, the scorching land transformed into a frozen wasteland.

This time, Serena was truly shocked. To counter his magic so easily the first time might have been a coincidence. But twice? This mage from Ishgar was far stronger than he had anticipated. He had initially believed Ian to be on par with the Spriggan 12, but now he realized that Ian possessed extraordinary power.

And his ice magic… it was on par with Invel's, the Winter General.

Serena's expression grew increasingly grim. He felt his dignity had been challenged. He couldn't afford to lose. He had to fight with everything he had.

"Sea King Dragon's Water Barrier!"

Serena unleashed his Water Dragon Slayer Magic. A massive wave, like a tsunami, surged towards Ian.

But then, time seemed to freeze. The raging wave halted in mid-air. Serena stared in disbelief, frozen in place. Even Dimaria's time magic wouldn't be this powerful, nor would it be used so casually. He took a step back.

"Impossible!"

In the council chamber, the others shared his disbelief. Serena hadn't even begun to fight seriously, and he was already being pushed back. Perhaps none of the Spriggan 12 could defeat him in single combat. Only Irene and August might stand a chance.

But they were currently with His Majesty, in Ishgar, searching for Fairy Heart. They had recently sensed that the demons of the Book of Zeref, Tartaros, had been destroyed by Acnologia.

They had no time to gather their forces.

They had to act alone.

As Serena spoke, he took a deep breath and attacked again. In an instant, a fierce wind swirled around him, as if he had swallowed the sky itself. A vast surge of magical power erupted from him.

"Glacier Dragon's Permafrost!"

A torrent of magical energy poured forth, engulfing Ian and freezing the ocean behind him solid, as if winter had descended upon the land in an instant.

"This power… is Insane!!!"

The observers in the council chamber gasped, their eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear. Even the ice magic was formidable.

But then, a searing heat erupted from the sky, instantly melting the ice encasing Ian. Flames coiled around him, banishing the encroaching cold.

As Serena watched his spell being dispelled, his eyes flickered. He looked up. "That magical power…"

Invel, Larcade, and the others, too, stared in shock. Following Serena's gaze, they looked up to see a figure hovering in the sky, wreathed in flames, a pair of phoenix-like wings spread wide behind him. As the wings flapped, the unnerving magical power gradually subsided.

"That's… Phoenix magic?"

Serena was momentarily stunned, then he quickly realized what it was. His voice trembled slightly.

Those blue, phoenix-like wings… it had to be the legendary Phoenix magic. In the Alvarez Empire's council chamber, everyone was equally shocked.

Though dragons had dominated the ancient world, there were other races that could stand against them: the phoenix, the tiger, the mermaid… Many of the guilds were named after these powerful races. What was this being, and how many types of magic did he know? Perhaps even August and Irene wouldn't be enough. Most Likely only His Majesty could handle him…

"You don't know how big the world is." Ian said, descending from the sky, the phoenix wings retracting.

"Ridiculous!" Hearing Ian's words, Serena's expression turned menacing. His eyes darkened.

A surge of immense magical power erupted from him. The ground within a hundred-meter radius shattered and exploded.

The shattered earth, propelled by his power, hurtled towards Ian, who was now within range.

"Cavern Dragon's… Earth Collapse!"

But then, amidst the collapsing earth, a sphere of intense heat appeared. Flames erupted from Ian, swirling around him, blocking the destructive force of the Earth Dragon Slayer Magic and creating a burning zone around him.

"This is Phoenix magic…" Serena murmured, watching his attack being effortlessly neutralized. "It is indeed extraordinary. No matter. I'll just have to use more. Sea King Dragon's Water Barrier!!"

BOOM!!!

With a roar, a torrent of water surged forth, forming a raging storm that hurtled towards Ian from his left.

"Purgatory Dragon's Hellfire!"

"Gale Dragon's Sky Drill!"

A series of attacks erupted from the enraged Serena, each one imbued with the devastating power of a Dragon Slayer. He unleashed the power of fire and wind, striking Ian from his right and front. In that instant, he had unleashed four different Dragon Slayer spells. And he wasn't finished.

"Glacier Dragon's Permafrost!"

"Chasm Dragon's World Collapse!"

"Nightmare Dragon's Hallucination Shredder!"

"Blood Dragon's Blood Drain Burst!"

With his immense magical power, far surpassing an Average Wizard Saint, Serena unleashed all 8 of his Dragon Slayer Spells in an instant. Eight distinct magical energies, each with its own unique properties, engulfed an area nearly a thousand meters in diameter.

Even the soldiers of the Alvarez Empire, who had retreated several hundred meters, were caught in the blast radius of these powerful spells.

The soldier at the forefront, seeing the impending danger, roared, channeling his magic to create a defensive barrier.

Whoosh!

The remnants of his magic formed a golden barrier before him.

But even though the majority of the attack's power was directed at Ian, the shockwaves alone were too much for them to handle. The golden barrier instantly showed signs of cracking.

"!!!" Realizing the danger, the other soldiers quickly channeled their magic, unleashing a variety of defensive spells to reinforce the barrier.

"Darkness Barrier!"

"Adamantine Shield!"

"…"

Everyone joined in, even those who had been slow to react. They desperately cast their spells. Though their magic was varied and couldn't be seamlessly combined into a unified defense…

they managed to create a makeshift barrier, barely withstanding the shockwaves from Serena's Dragon Slayer Magic.

Ian couldn't help but admire Zeref's intellect. He was truly a genius, having created things like the Eclipse Gate and the R-System. These soldiers even knew a technique similar to the combined techniques of the ninja in Naruto.

They were proficient in both offense and defense…
