On the other side
Edolas Kingdom - Capital
"Bang~"
A blue figure flew backward and crashed into the square.
"Mystogan!"
Laxus turned around and shouted anxiously.
"I'm fine..."
Mystogan pushed aside the stone slab above his head, stood up, and replied, panting heavily.
After seeing that Mystogan was alright, Laxus turned to look at the old man.
"This guy's strength is almost on par with Zorn's! He's a Monster when it comes to Physical Arts!"
"Equally troublesome."
Laxus looked at the middle-aged man whose clothes were only slightly torn and commented.
"Hey, buddy, my name is Gildarts Ester."
"Although I don't know who this Zorn you're talking about is, I can only reluctantly acknowledge your strength!"
"That attack just now was really dangerous..."
Esther rested her sword on her shoulder and nodded, acknowledging the strength of Laxus and Mystogan.
On the surface, he also appeared to be afraid.
But from his nonchalant expression, there was absolutely no sign of fear.
Just now Mystogan unleashed a spell: "Fivefold Magic Circle - Kagura".
Furthermore, Laxus took advantage of the moment when he was controlled by several beams of light.
"Thunder Pressure Torrent descended from the sky like a raging storm."
That was a close call!
"Tch~"
"He's really different from that older man!"
Laxus scoffed in annoyance.
Just now, Ester broke free from the combined attack of him and Mystogan, and the binding of the light pillar, with just a little effort.
His attack was Crash by Esther's sword technique.
I couldn't tell at all how dangerous it was.
This is precisely why Laxus is unhappy.
"Laxus, we need to lure him out of the Capital!"
Mystogan walked over to Laxus and offered concerned advice.
After all, the surrounding residents hadn't had time to evacuate.
Seeing the devastation of the surrounding plaza, he knew that their combined powerful attack might wipe out the entire Capital.
"Hmm~, that's exactly what I was planning!"
Laxus nodded in agreement, and an even more powerful surge of lightning erupted from his body, with Dragon Scales sprouting from his skin.
Their momentum surged once again.
"Oh~ there's a hidden power? Looks like I'll have to get serious!"
Seeing the overwhelming sense of oppression, Esther's expression changed, and she immediately switched her sword to combat mode.
"It's about to start!"
However, just as Laxus was about to take further action, he suddenly sensed something.
My body paused.
Suddenly, he reached out and stopped Mystogan.
"Leave this man to me! It seems the Kingdom has made some new moves; you'd better hurry!"
That's your home turf.
"What!"
Mystogan looked at Laxus with surprise and suspicion.
"Exceed, destroy!"
Upon hearing Laxus's next words, Mystogan's body slowly disappeared before their eyes. "It's up to you, Laxus."
"Don't worry!"
After Laxus finished speaking, a large amount of lightning surged forth.
His figure flashed.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of Esther.
"Lightning Dragon's Crushing Fist - Modified"
The lightning bolt from the Lightning Dragon was wrapped in its fist and covered with a layer of Armament Haki, then it slammed directly into Esther's face.
Esther's eyes flashed, and she held her sword in one hand to block in front of her.
However, he was still directly thrown away by a tremendous force, flying at an extremely fast speed towards the outskirts of the Capital.
Upon seeing this, Laxus vanished from his spot once more, one foot already in mid-air.
A powerful thrust erupted from beneath our feet, like an invisible shockwave spreading in all directions.
The ground began to shake, and the air began to churn.
Immediately afterwards, a huge sonic boom was generated, deafeningly loud. The shockwave from the sonic boom spread in all directions.
Laxus also chased after the flying figure.
The two collided again in mid-air, but this time they were moving further and further away from the Capital.
High in the sky.
Laxus flashed above Esther, his hands clasped together, crackling with lightning.
"Lightning Dragon's Jaw"
He immediately slammed both fists into Esther's body.
"With a bang"
A large crater suddenly appeared in the ground.
"It's not over yet, uncle!"
Behind Laxus's body, countless Lightning Bullet reappeared.
Carrying lightning, it all struck the deep pit.
Laxus gazed into the deep pit, and once again conjured a Lightning Dragon's Halberd in his hand.
This time, instead of throwing it down, it was placed horizontally in front of him.
A lightning defense array was formed instantly.
A sword beam instantly struck the light barrier.
The two forces are locked in a stalemate.
Ah~
Laxus exerted force, sending the sword beam flying and slashing at the mountainside beside him.
"Wow, that guy's really strong!"
"To be honest, you're the first person who's ever fought me to this extent!"
A figure slowly emerged from the deep pit.
His body was inevitably covered in charred marks, and his upper clothes were reduced to mere scraps.
So he ripped off the pieces of his torn clothes.
The exposed muscles all demonstrate the immense power hidden within his body.
"You're not bad either, uncle! Aside from the charred scars, you're not badly injured!"
"Now, let me experience your Swordsmanship, sir!"
Laxus swung his Fangtian Ji with force, imbuing it with Armament Haki.
He also released his Observation Haki to observe Esther on the ground.
Esther, however, looked at the other force that had suddenly appeared, and her eyes lit up with excitement.
He had already felt the power of this force.
It's a perfect match for Physical Arts.
With a flourish of his sword and a powerful stomp of his foot, he launched himself into the sky, swinging his sword high into the air.
Laxus also swooped down, raising his Fangtian Ji above his head with both hands and swinging it forcefully.
When forces collide.
The clouds in the sky suddenly churned and split open, and lightning flashed across the sky.
It then slammed down repeatedly on the open ground.
"Next, we need to send that floating Magic Crystal to crash into the cats' Kingdom, and everything will be done smoothly!"
Byro bent down and smiled as he spoke to King Faust beside him.
"With the fusion of these two Magic Power, Eternal Magic Power will continuously descend upon our nation!"
"Really? Hahaha, my wish is finally going to come true!"
After hearing this, the king burst into laughter.
He seemed to have everything under control, unaware that his beloved son was running towards him.
"Ugh, so boring~ Where did everyone else go!"
Hughes sat in the amusement park, directing everything with his baton to relieve his boredom.
The other three captains were at this moment.
One of them was being held down by Fairy Tail in the Fairy Tail.
One of them joined the enemy camp.
Another one is fighting Gajeel.
But he was unaware of all of this.
"Tap tap!"
A series of footsteps echoed from one of the passageways.
