Lightning Dragon's Roar

To be honest, he didn't feel much for Ailiya and Weir. Even if their fates were tragic, it had little to do with him. The only reason he intervened was because of the two girls behind him.

Women are soft-hearted creatures.

"Weir! Ailiya! Wake up!"

Erza and Mira shook them, and after a while, Weir slowly opened his eyes.

"It's Erza..."

Her voice was very faint, as if she would die at any moment.

"You..." Erza stared blankly at the disheveled girl in her arms.

Her eyes were filled with a gray light, a deathly gray.

Weir closed his eyes in anguish.

On the other side, Ailiya remained completely silent. There seemed to be a smile on her lips, but her eyes were forever closed.

Only Weir himself knows why he is still alive.

Ailiya used her remaining magic to infuse her life force into Weir's body, which allowed Weir to hold on until Mira and the others arrived.

But why... did I survive...?

Why me...?

She clearly wanted Ailiya to have a bright future...

Clearly... I am someone who is destined to die...

"That terrifying guy doesn't seem to be here..." Glancing at everyone and not finding Chiba, Totomaru stepped forward, grinning, "Hey! Fairies! Are you trying to interfere with the execution?!"

"Trying to interfere with the execution?!" Laxus said calmly, "Sorry, we have already interfered with the execution."

"Hey..." Totomaru turned to the old priestess and said, "Your Grace, did you hear that now? It seems the Fairies came here on purpose to cause trouble..."

The old witch stepped forward and said, "Hand over these two demons to us, and I can pretend everything you did never happened."

"What's done is done, why pretend it never happened?" Laxus said calmly. "Then let's have a fight..."

"Hmph..." Totomaru gave a strange snort, then walked towards Laxus, grinning, "Fairy S-Class Mage, dare to fight me, a newly promoted S-Class mage?"

Laxus a cold laugh, lightning crackling around him, and said, "You and that guy named Aria, come at me together."

A surge of anger welled up in Totomaru's heart, and he sneered, "Arrogant and conceited!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a magic circle appeared on his palm, and a burst of flame shot out as he spread his fingers.

"Everyone, get out of here immediately!" the old witch suddenly shouted.

The crowd dispersed, but didn't go far, because they all wanted to see the clash between the two S-Class Mages from the strongest mage guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore.

Laxus crossed his arms, but a dazzling golden magic circle formed in the sky, and lightning struck down, severing the flames!

"Hey... that's more like it..."

Totomaru chuckled, drew his katana from his waist, and dashed toward Laxus.

Laxus remained expressionless, lightning crackling on his fist as he delivered a powerful punch to Totomaru, the lightning colliding with the katana enveloped in flames.

"Boom!!"

Flames and lightning spewed forth like raging beasts, ravaging the surroundings. Erza had already used her Adamantine Armor for defense, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from affecting them.

Totomaru stepped back slightly, and a magic circle was formed in his palm.

Laxus raised his hand, and a golden magic circle instantly formed beneath Totomaru's feet. The latter's body froze in place.

"When?!" Totomaru was shocked, but still gritted her teeth and released the magic in her hand.

A massive, icy blue fireball struck Laxus, while simultaneously, a surge of lightning erupted from the magic circle beneath Totomaru's feet. Their attacks struck each other squarely, sending shivers down the spines of those watching.

The flames and lightning dissipated simultaneously. Totomaru, panting heavily, looked at the opposite side, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

"Can we still fight? If we can, let's continue..."

Laxus said calmly.

"He's completely unharmed..." A bead of cold sweat appeared on Totomaru's forehead.

He hadn't expected Laxus to be this powerful. Even Aria wouldn't have chosen to take that attack head-on. Yet Laxus had. How could someone with this level of strength only become S-Class Mage this year?

I doubt even a typical established S-Class car could do that.

That's the only option we can use!

He conjured a magic circle in his hand, and then seven flames of different colors ignited one by one. These seven flames then spun and flowed, converging into a giant fireball.

"Seven-Colored Flames!"

With a low shout from Totomaru, the enormous seven-colored fireball hurtled towards Laxus.

Laxus lowered his body slightly, and countless bolts of lightning gathered in his palm, forming a long lightning spear that attacked Totomaru.

"Lightning Spear!"

"Boom!!"

The lightning spear collided with the Seven-Colored Flames, stirring up a wave of magical energy. The fierce force kicked up countless fragments of stone and dust. Lightning and flames raged around them. But after a short while, the Lightning Spear pierced through the Seven-Colored Flames and attacked Totomaru.

"Airspace Absolute!"

As the low shout fell, a strong wind swept past, instantly scattering the Lightning Spear and sending it flying all around.

Aria raised a hand, removed the cloth covering her eyes, and held it up in front of Totomaru.

Wind Element, Aria!

The leader of the "Element 4" of the Phantom Lords guild. She can instantly and completely dispel an opponent's magic. She usually wears a blindfold to suppress her overwhelming magical power.

He has now removed the blindfold!

"As expected of Lord Makarov's grandson, he possesses such formidable strength at such a young age. If I hadn't intervened, a tragic scene would likely have unfolded just now..." Aria remarked.

Laxus waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, keep going, the outcome will be the same."

That being said, his eyes turned unusually serious. He wasn't like Chiba, that freak Susanoo family ties, sending everyone fleeing in terror with a single strike. He had to take this strongest mage, the Phantom Lord, seriously.

His muscles bulged, making him appear taller and more imposing. Fine lines appeared on his arms, and his teeth became sharper.

"This... this is..." Aria's pupils shrank, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The crackling of thunder echoed all around, and in the darkness, golden lightning danced like sprites.

But these are not elegant spirits; their throbbing indicates their excitement, their... desire to destroy everything...

"Thunder Dragon's..."

"Roar!!"
