Makarov and Jose's battle commenced after a brief conversation. Ben watched the battle while grumbling unhappily and cursing the old men. Even so, he still watched their battle and recorded it with A.I Chip.
A battle between 2 Wizard Saints was rare. This was a high-level battle that can cause a catastrophe. So Ben used the opportunity to learn from their battle although he kept grumbling unhappily.
He knew Makarov was right about the problem with the Magic Council if he continued fighting Jose. Besides, this is Fairy Tail's war with Phantom Lord and he is just a outsider. So Makarov has the right to face Jose in this war.
Ben grumbled, but he was in awe with the Wizard Saint's battle. Seeing Makarov talking and stopping Jose's attacks with ease made his previous efforts look unnecessary and Jose also fought Makarov a lot more seriously than he did during their fight.
'Their mastery over their magic is very high that it can make their spells stronger with less magic power. Even after fighting me, Jose still has this much magic power. Age is a big factor because they've had magic for decades. But their fight has given me some insight, so I need to thank them for it. Although I'm still pissed that I can't continue my battle.' Ben thought.
Makarov and Jose exchange spells a few times before something suddenly changed. The short old man's aura suddenly changed, alerting Ben. He can feel that Makarov is very serious now.
"This is your last chance, Jose. You can give up now and leave or continue to be punished. As per Fairy Tail tradition, I will give you till the count of three. Beg for mercy!" Makarov exclaimed as he cast the spell.
"Ha ha ha, what are you saying Makarov? Give up? Why would the best guild give up to the likes of Fairy Tail?" Jose asked smugly.
"One!" Makarov yelled as he prepared his magic power.
"Don't joke with me, Makarov. I am your equal, there's no way I will give up." Jose said angrily as he also prepared his magic power.
"Two!" Makarov said as he put his hands in front of him and made a small light ball.
"You're the one who should beg for mercy." Jose said as a lot of shades floated around his hands.
'It seems Master Makarov wants to finish the battle using this magic.' Ben thought.
Ben can feel the power of Makarov's spell even though it hadn't been cast fully. His enhanced senses tell this spell is extremely powerful. But there was a feeling he couldn't describe as he sensed this magic.
Makarov's body enlarged.
"Three! That's enough." He said.
"HA HA HA BEGONE, FAIRY TAIL!" Jose screamed as his spell headed towards Makarov.
But before Jose's spell reached him, Makarov finished his spell. Light is generated from his body and broke Jose's spell.
"I invoke Fairy Law!" Makarov announced.
As Makarov said that, a yellow magic circle appeared in front of his eyes. Then the light from his body gets even brighter and dazzles everyone who saw it, except Ben. A massive yellow magic circle also appeared in the sky above them and it covered the terrain.
Ben was not affected by the bright light one bit because of his Sun Dragon Slayer Magic. He can even look at the sun without hurting his eyes, so this level of light won't faze him. He can see everything like was a normal day.
As the bright light enveloped the whole area, Ben can feel a warm sensation from it. It's not physically warm, but the warmth was in his heart. This is the strangest thing he's felt from magic.
'Does this magic involve one's heart to be used? Hmm, I need to learn more about the use of feeling and heart in magic. Maybe this is how Curses are powered by negative emotions.' Ben thought.
After Makarov's spell stopped, Jose was frightened and deathly pale so he can't do anything anymore. Even his purple hair turned white. Jose had been defeated by Makarov with that spell.
'It seems this magic attacks someone's heart directly. That means this spell will be hard to block with other spells. Hmm, I really need to learn about the use of feeling in magic. It will be bad if someone used something like this against me and I can't defend from it at all.' Ben thought before he suddenly vanished from his spot.
Ben appeared behind Makarov and grabbed someone's head. Aria suddenly appeared after being defeated by Erza. Ben sensed his presence and teleported behind him.
"You're not very stealthy." Ben said as he slammed Aria's head into the ground and knocked him out.
"I could've taken care of it, you know." Makarov informed him.
"I haven't defeated anybody today, so consider this a consolation prize." Ben said grumpily.
"Kids these days always take everything to heart." Makarov sighed as he shook his head.
"Why can't I? You stopped me when the battle reached it's climax." Ben said.
"Well, sorry for that. Anyway, you have my thanks for helping us in this war, Ben. Because of your involvement, the war ended with little bloodshed. I don't know how to repay you." Makarov said.
"It's fine. Gramps told me to help you if the situation got too out of hand." Ben replied.
"Is that so? Give my regards to Roubaul-san, then. Now I need to think of a explanation to the Council." Makarov sighed.
Ben suddenly threw a lacrima ball to Makarov and the old man caught it.
"Give that to the Council and it will make things easier for you. Just don't get it to a woman named Ultear and a man named Siegrain. It will be better if you have a friend in the Council." Ben instructed.
"What is this?" Makarov asked.
"You will know when you see it. This is a very serious matter and can help you with your problem. But please hide my involvement in this as it will lead to trouble for my guild." Ben insisted as he wore a green shirt.
Makarov was still confused, but he nodded and thanked Ben. Ben then disappeared from his spot to leave the battlefield. The old man looked at the spot where Ben was standing while sighing.
"If I didn't stop his battle with Jose, this place would be vaporized. So young, but so scary already. Roubaul-san taught him to be a good person." Makarov said before he left the area as well.
The war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord came to a end with Fairy Tail's victory. Although Ben was disappointed he couldn't fight Jose to the bitter end, he was still glad nothing bad happened.
Now he stood on the rooftop of the Fairy Tail guild hall while looking at the battlefield. The war had come to an end and there was nothing else for him to do.
"Time for me to go home."
