"I've been cultivating and increasing my Magic Power all this time in order to avenge myself on you!"
"How utterly boring! Still so petty and calculating, even though there are things more important than revenge!"
"Don't let all that go on, you bastard."
Natsu broke through the smoke in a straight line, and the flames not only remained unaffected, but instead surged even more fiercely around his fists.
Erigor's previously arrogant expression froze for a moment. Looking at Natsu, who was breaking through the smoke barrier with a serious expression, Natsu seemed to understand something upon hearing Natsu's words, and his expression returned to a state of relief.
"You're absolutely right. This has nothing to do with Eisenwald and the Oración Seis anymore. What follows is about what happened between the two of us before."
As Erigor spoke, sand and stones swirled wildly in the air, and a powerful wind also gathered between his palms.
"That's more like it, bring it on!" Natsu's eyes narrowed, filled with excitement.
"Ahhh, Magic Wind Palm!" Erigor immediately rushed towards Natsu, who was descending from the sky, and clapped his hands together, creating a violent Tornado that swept directly towards Natsu.
"Bang!" The two Magics collided again, fire and wind intertwining, tearing and colliding with each other. The blazing flames and gale-force winds rolled in mid-air, stirring up waves of aftershocks and heat.
"Ahh!"
The flames on Natsu's fist suddenly intensified, generating tremendous propulsion that broke through Erigor's Magic in one fell swoop, and he accelerated directly towards Erigor.
"Crimson Lotus... Fire Dragon's Fist"
"Aaaaa!" Erigor screamed in agony under Natsu's relentless attacks. With the final Fire Dragon's Claw, he was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.
"You're really slow, you stinky flame!" Gray said, seeing that the battle was over. Although he was happy for Natsu, his words were actually a Natsu.
Carla and Wendy, standing to the side, were completely stunned, having witnessed firsthand the power of the Fire Dragon.
"Is this the power of Fairy Tail? No wonder they're ranked number one in Fairy Tail Kingdom!"
Meanwhile, Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus also dealt with their respective Dark Guilds and encountered their powerful enemies, Racer and Hoteye.
"It seems their hideout is in the abandoned village to the west," Lyon said, throwing the enemy he was holding to the ground and turning to Jura.
However, Jura was staring intently into the distance, sensing a powerful enemy gradually approaching.
"Lyon, Juvia, you two keep going, head straight west!"
Where is Mr. Jura?
"A powerful Magic Power is approaching; I will stop it."
There was one of the Ten Wizard Saints Mage Saints who managed to stop Hoteye, but the three members of Blue Pegasus were completely powerless to stop the Racer attack.
"Damn it, he's too fast, I can't get close at all." Byakuya -Hyou·Retis was also lying on the ground, looking at Racer with a serious expression, secretly hating himself for not being strong enough, and trying his best to stand up.
Ivan Tirum and Ren Akatsuki, on the other hand, were lying unconscious on the ground, their fates unknown.
"Oh, it can still move? That attack could kill it! I still need to deal with the others."
Racer looked at Byakuya, who was still trying to get up on the ground, and bent down slightly. His Magic Power also emerged. After speaking, he flashed and was about to kick Hibiki's head.
Two ice-shaped spells suddenly appeared from both sides, forcing him to jump in a tree. There, he saw Leon, Jelly, and Natsugra who had also arrived.
"Are you alright, Hibiki?" Natsu was the first to help Hibiki up, Juvia also used her Doll Magic to quickly bring the other two lying on the ground to them.
"They're both alright, they just passed out!" Wendy quickly checked their injuries and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding that they were merely unconscious.
"You've all come, which saves me a lot of trouble!" Racer looked at the group below, not feeling uneasy about their large numbers, but rather relieved that he could take them all out at once.
"Boom!"
"Lucy!"
Just as Gray and his men were about to make their move, thick smoke rose from somewhere in the distance.
Erza's loud shout startled Natsume and the others, who all looked in that direction with worried expressions.
"Natsu, you can handle that. I'll take care of the Racer." Gray stepped forward, blocking the way for the others.
"Juvia, you're also responsible for taking these three, Blue Pegasus and the others, back to the Villa. We'll handle things here!" Lyon stood beside Gray, looking at Racer in the tree with a similarly serious expression.
"But..."
"No buts, go now!"
"Hey, hey, hey, are we still going to put on this emotional act of sacrifice?" Racer looked at the scene before him, and no one knew what part of the plot had triggered him. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Gray and Leon immediately clasped their hands together, and two massive ice walls rose from the ground into the sky, encircling Gray, Leon, and Laser.
"Ah~" Racer immediately crashed into the wall and fell to the ground, glaring angrily at Gray and Lyon.
"Gray..."
"Lord Lyon..."
Natsu looked at Gray inside the ice wall and murmured worriedly. Juvia, who had used Doll Magic to lift up the three members of Blue Pegasus, also looked at Lyon Leon with concern.
"Hurry up."
"Damn it, let's go." Hearing Gray's anxious voice from inside the ice wall, Natsu steeled himself and immediately pulled Wendy and Juvia towards Lucy's direction.
"We will definitely win!"
Only Laser, Grellion, and another person remained, facing each other.
"Gray, I didn't expect we'd be fighting side-by-side again. Let me demonstrate some Maker Magic for you!"
After Lyon finished speaking, he placed his fist on his left hip, and a burst of cold air shot out.
"Lyon, why are you using your hands to cast Magic?"
Gray was also shocked by what he saw, and the image still lingered in his mind.
Back on Demon Island, Lyon was still casting Magic with one hand, completely abandoning Professor Ur's knowledge.
"Hmph, didn't Ur teach us that back then?"
"ICEMAKE - Great Eagle," a series of dynamic eagles, spreading their wings and swiftly attacking Racer, who had just gotten up.
"Boom!" Smoke billowed up, and the Magic hit the Racer's area perfectly.
However, the two remained vigilant, carefully observing any possible movements around them. Gray even unleashed his Observation Haki, suddenly noticing a figure rushing towards them at great speed from their left rear.
"It's time to end the game!" Racer was about to kick the two of them when Gray immediately conjured Ice Shield in front of him, pushing Lyon aside first and taking the kick himself.
"Gray, you..."
He was sent flying backwards, crashing into the ice wall he had just been standing on.
