Gajeel vs. Panther Lily: In the Midst of Winning Him Over

Brain stretched out his hands.

A pair of jet-black bracelets were already deeply embedded in her wrists, and dark Magic Power slowly emanated from them.

As Brain turned his hands, some of the dark Magic Power immediately formed a black blade, which Brain held in his hands.

He took a step.

The ground cracked open, and in the instant the figure rushed forward, all the remaining Magic Power transformed into beams of light, resisting Zorn's Magic.

The moment the two opposing energies collided, although the Dark Energy eroded some of Zorn's energy, it was still Crash by the more powerful holy light.

The dissipated Dark Energy landed on the ground, immediately corroding a large area, and it continues to corrode further.

Zorn's Holy Light Magic, however, did the opposite. The moment it shone, it stopped spreading, but it couldn't restore the ground, leaving behind pits.

"Tch~"

Brain scoffed, frowning. Zorn's power was indeed naturally his match for mine.

"It's not over yet~"

Brain suppressed his emotions, twisted his wrist, compressed Dark Energy into the blade, and swung it forcefully.

The two attacks collided and became locked in a stalemate.

Zorn grinned. "That's more like it!"

His arm muscles bulged, and a tremendous force sent Brain flying again. Zorn lunged forward, giving chase.

The two clashed back and forth in the air and on the ground. No matter how Brain attacked, he could not break through Zorn's armor defense. Even if it was slightly damaged, it was quickly repaired.

It's as if Zorn's Magic Power is inexhaustible.

"Impossible! Even if the people of your world possess Magic Power within their bodies, in this world, your Magic Power will eventually be exhausted!"

"Even with such an intense battle, why is your Magic Power still so powerful..."

As the battle between Brain and Zorn progressed, Brian felt increasingly desperate. He couldn't sense any weakening of Zorn's Magic Power; it remained as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

It stung his heart.

"Do you remember what I just said?"

"I've only used half my strength, and the sun is so bright in the sky!"

"The amount of Magic Power consumed is negligible!"

After Zorn finished speaking, he unleashed his final strike, and the sword in his hand slowly turned into particles and disappeared into the air.

Brain's body surged with Magic Power, and he made up his mind. Just as he was about to take action, he activated the Magic Circle that he had prepared beforehand.

However, he had no choice but to guard against the blade that was about to strike him.

He swung his sword several times in mid-air before barely managing to withstand Zorn's attack.

"Your strength is indeed impressive. I cannot yet unleash my other power! Therefore, let this attack be the end. The affairs of this world end here."

"But don't worry, you'll still be alive and come tell me in person what exactly happened that year!"

Zorn clasped his hands together, and an inexplicable aura surged forth, with intense light radiating from his hands, blinding Brain.

"Is this the end?"

"It's not over yet, Zorn! I'll risk my life to drag you down with me!"

Brain crossed his arms, and the moment the bracelets struck, the ground began to tremble. A black Magic Circle instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire Town.

Zorn looked at the Magic Circle beneath his feet, and several images suddenly flashed through his mind.

A few minutes ago.

The battle between Gajeel and Panther Lily.

"It seems you and the Exceed of this world are of the same race!"

"Why did you join the Kingdom Army's army!"

Gajeel crossed his arms to block Panther Lily's attack, then looked the cat up and down and asked the question that had been bothering him.

However, he didn't expect that this question would first make Panther Lily pause in surprise, and then immediately fly into a rage.

"I have abandoned my homeland, that false country, I don't need it!"

He raised his greatsword high, filled with disgust for that country, and swung it at Gajeel.

Smoke billowed out, and the ground cracked and broke open, sending rubble flying everywhere.

"I see, that's exactly what I wanted!"

Gajeel's excited tone clearly showed that Gajeel very happy and satisfied with the cat.

Panther Lily's body trembled, not because of Gajeel's words, but because he realized that his Buster Marm was completely unable to move.

As the smoke cleared.

"What! How is that possible?"

Panther Lily exclaimed in surprise.

Gajeel's hand was shimmering with a black substance as he gripped the Buster Marm with one hand, his fingers exerting a slight pressure.

"I've made up my mind, you'll be my cat!"

Gajeel raised an eyebrow, looking at his cat with great satisfaction, but then changed the subject, continuing, "There's one more thing... that is..."

He paused briefly, then increased the pressure in his hand.

"Bang!"

With a crash, the giant sword shattered into pieces that fell to the ground.

As Panther Lily looked down in surprise at the shattered pieces, Gajeel punched him in the face.

"Let me show you who's stronger!"

"That way, I'll never lose to that stinky Fire Dragon and that girl again!"

"And it'll also make Laxus jealous!"

After Gajeel finished his fight, he sat on the ground, daydreaming, imagining himself holding up his cat and showing the Fire Dragons who had the strongest cat.

Moreover, he would definitely see the jealous look in Laxus's eyes.

Thinking of this, Gajeel burst into laughter.

Little did he know, Laxus had also encountered his destined cat.

"This guy... is too strong! And his personality is a bit strange too."

Lying on the ground, Panther Lily, who had been acting all high and mighty just moments before, was now laughing foolishly and giving a strange once-over.

Finally, unable to contain himself, he burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, you're quite a strange person!"

"However, it's not over yet; it's still uncertain who is stronger!"

Panther Lily removed his helmet and cloak, clenched his fists, assumed a fighting stance, and with a stomp of his foot, engaged Gajeel in battle once again!

Sudden

Wisps of black energy emerged from the ground, and a black Magic Circle appeared before them. An evil aura rushed towards them, causing them to stop in their tracks and stare at the Magic Circle in shock.

"What's this..."

Gajeel asked Panther Lily in surprise.

"I don't know. We need to go back. Only then can we find out the truth!"

Panther Lily stared at the black Magic Circle, but had no information about Magic Circle in her mind. However, judging from its range, the entire Kingdom was already enveloped.

"What are you doing..."

"That way, we can get back quickly!"

Ignoring Gajeel's exclamation, Panther Lily grabbed him, flapped her wings, and flew at an incredible speed towards the Capital.
