At the First Guild Master's Grave
Mavis was enthusiastically teaching, and Uchiha Kitaro was equally focused on learning. He took the opportunity to re-study Fairy Law as well. The version he had learned before was copied from Laxus—he could use it, but he didn't fully understand it.
Mavis explained the fundamental principles behind Fairy Law, giving Kitaro a true grasp of this ultimate magic. After all, she was its creator—no one in the world understood it better than her.
Even just learning from her, Kitaro could feel Mavis' sheer brilliance and genius.
To be honest, he had once considered fusing with Fairy Heart, the legendary source of infinite magic power. If he had done so, even if he had started with zero magic, he would instantly become a mage with limitless reserves.
But now, after integrating nine Dragon Hearts, his need for Fairy Heart had significantly diminished.
At that moment, Kitaro raised an eyebrow and said, "First Master, let's pause for a moment."
"Huh? Did I talk too much? Are there parts you don't understand? If there's anything unclear, just ask, I'll explain everything," Mavis responded eagerly. She hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, and now that she had the chance, her words were flowing endlessly.
"No, it's not that. Some rats have sneaked in—I need to take care of them."
"Rats?" Mavis was momentarily confused before realizing what he meant—intruders on Tenrou Island.
"That's impossible! Tenrou Island is usually invisible. Only those with a Fairy Tail guild mark can see it… Besides, why would anyone come here?"
She couldn't understand. There was nothing of value on the island—what could these intruders possibly want?
"No idea, but one thing's for sure—they're enemies of Fairy Tail. They came here to hunt fairies."
"What?! How do you know that?"
"I overheard them just now. Oh, and I took care of them while I was at it."
"What?! The enemy is already here?!"
Mavis had been so absorbed in teaching that she hadn't noticed anything happening on the island. She had no idea that outsiders had made their way in.
"I'll be going now."
With a light step, Kitaro soared into the sky, heading toward the approaching threat.
Mavis quickly followed, eager to see what was going on.

Aboard the Grimoire Heart Airship
"Are we at Fairy Island yet?"
"Wait! There's someone flying toward us!"
"Who is it?!"
"Damn it! It's Uchiha Kitaro from Fairy Tail!!!"
Ultear's expression changed instantly upon recognizing him. Most Fairy Tail members weren't too much of a threat, but Kitaro was on a completely different level.
"Ultear, you're overreacting," scoffed a guild member. "I've heard about this guy. He took down a Ten Wizard Saint, and now people act like he's invincible. He's probably just—"
Crack!
Before the man could finish his sentence, Kitaro raised his hand. A colossal Rasengan, over twenty meters in diameter, materialized in his palm, glowing like a full moon.
"What the hell?!"
Grimoire Heart's members were completely stunned. While size didn't always determine power, a magic attack this enormous could never be weak.
Even their Jupiter Magic Cannon wasn't this big.
"Prepare the Jupiter Cannon!" Hades ordered immediately.
Without hesitation, Kitaro hurled the massive Rasengan at the airship.
"FIRE!"
The Jupiter Cannon blasted forward, colliding with the Rasengan in midair. The resulting explosion was terrifying, sending shockwaves crashing toward the airship.
"What?!"
Grimoire Heart's crew was horrified—Kitaro's attack was overpowering their own.
BOOM!!!
CRACK! CRACK!
The impact sent the airship reeling, fractures spreading across its hull as the crew inside were thrown around like ragdolls.
"The ship is—?!"
"Who the hell is this guy?!"
Hades barked, "Ultear!"
"On it!"
"Use Arc of Time! Restore it!"
At his command, Ultear activated her magic, rewinding the ship's destruction in an instant, restoring it to its original state.
"Phew! That was close!"
The crew sighed in relief as the airship returned to normal.
Seeing this, Kitaro calmly drew his blade. That single action meant one thing—he was about to kill.
With a casual swing, an enormous slash tore through the sky, hurtling toward the airship.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Grimoire Heart's members screamed in panic. Every one of Kitaro's attacks was ridiculously massive.
"Evasive maneuvers!" someone shouted.
The airship barely dodged in time, the slash narrowly missing its hull.
VMMM!!!
Kitaro clenched his fist. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit wrapped around his hand.
CRACK! CRACK!
With a single punch, he shattered the air itself, sending a devastating shockwave toward the airship at breakneck speed.
"Raise the barrier! NOW!" Hades roared.
A spherical energy shield enveloped the airship just in time.
BOOM!!!
The shockwave struck the barrier.
CRACK! CRACK!
Fractures instantly spread across the shield.
BANG!!!
The barrier shattered completely.
Then—
CRACK! CRACK!
The entire airship trembled violently as its armor shattered piece by piece.
"AAAHHHH!!!"
"URGH!!"
This time, Ultear didn't wait for Hades' command. The moment the ship started breaking apart, she immediately activated Arc of Time again, restoring it to its original state.
Even so, the shockwave's force had already slammed into them, making everyone feel as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer.
They hadn't even reached Tenrou Island yet, and they were already being crushed by Kitaro.
Hades' expression darkened. "This brat… We cannot let him continue."
