Azuma lies on the ground defeated. Raiga and Fuuwa walk up to him.
Raiga: It's over, Azuma.
Azuma: Seems like it.
They quickly notice how the ground was seemingly eating Azuma, as sprouts were growing from his body.
Raiga: Azuma, your body!
Azuma: A side effect of the Lost Magic, you see. It seems I overused it considerably.
Raiga: Are you... dying?
Fuuwa: Every Lost Magic comes with a price. He will now live on as a part of Tenrou Island.
Raiga: Fuuwa, isn't there anything we can do?
Fuuwa returns to her cat form and shakes her head.
Fuuwa: I'm afraid not.
Azuma: I will keep my promise. Everyone's magic power will be returned to them.
Raiga: Thank you... for keeping your word.
Fuuwa: Before you die, there's something I wish to confirm. Former Councilwoman Ultear Milkovich was aiding Jellal in his plan to resurrect Zeref, but I heard she was actually a member of Grimoire.
Azuma: Jellal was supposedly possessed by the ghost of Zeref, but I believe that was all the work of Ultear.
They were surprised to hear that.
Raiga: What?
Azuma: I heard that it was an 8-year plan to have the Magic Council turn a blind eye to our actions at the time. She is a fearsome woman. Master Hades trusts her more than enyone.
Raiga: So Ultear was the one pulling the strings this whole time. She's the cause of Erza and Jellal's suffering.
Fuuwa: Why go so far? Why are you all so fixated on Zeref?
Azuma: The magic at the beginning of the world... To get closer to the One Magic... perhaps?
Raiga: The One Magic? What's that? What'd you plan to do once you reach it?
Azuma lets out a smirk.
Azuma: Jellal dreamt of Heaven. We...
Those were his last words before being turned completely into a tree.
Fuuwa: ...
Soon after, a bright glow enveloped the island as everyone's magic was restored.
Raiga: That light just now...
Fuuwa: Everyone must have their magic power back by now.
Raiga: ...
Raiga sits in front of the tree to pay his respects.
Fuuwa: Raiga...
Fuuwa looks to her left to see Raiga's jacket falling into the ground.
???: Raiga!
