"Bang bang~" Laxus moved like lightning, each punch landing squarely.
The numbness in her body made her feel unprecedented pressure.
Minerva could only use Spatial Magic to move around and try to evade Laxus's attacks, but Laxus was relentless and gave her no chance to catch her breath.
With a loud "boom," smoke billowed out.
Minerva emerged from the smoke in a disheveled state.
All she could do was grit her teeth and stare at Laxus in the sky, his body crackling with lightning, coldly watching her.
"Damn it, how can this guy be so fast!" she cursed inwardly, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.
At this moment, Laxus's speed had exceeded Minerva's Magic capture range, making it impossible for her to effectively cast other Magic to counter Laxus.
Realizing that if he couldn't find a way to restrict Laxus's actions, he would be in an extremely passive position.
While pondering a solution, Minerva glanced around at the surroundings out of the corner of her eye.
To her surprise, she discovered that the other four people besides her were already tightly bound by members of Fairy Tail.
Although their battle wasn't as intense as her fight with Laxus, they couldn't easily escape either.
"Damn it, it's just a qualifier, do we really have to use that kind of Magic?"
Minerva was torn. She knew the Magic was incredibly powerful, but it also carried significant risks. However, the current situation left her no choice; she had to act, or she would lose the match.
Minerva clasped her hands together, Magic Power surged, and Spatial Power gathered in her palms like a torrent.
With a sharp gaze, he locked onto Laxus in the sky and roared, "Space Shockwave!" With this roar, an incomparably powerful Spatial Power suddenly erupted, shooting straight into the sky like a sharp arrow. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be torn apart, revealing dark and deep cracks.
Faced with such power, Laxus remained calm and showed no fear.
"Hmph, still a long way off~"
With a pop, Laxus's arm released a burst of black Armament Haki.
Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning flashed and leaped in his hand, eventually converging into a dazzling ball of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, a lightning bolt shaped like a halberd took shape in Laxus's hand, its entire body shimmering with Black-Gold light, and the crackling sound of lightning was deafening, echoing throughout the entire labyrinth.
Laxus's eyes narrowed, his arm muscles tensed, and he poured all his strength into the Lightning Dragon's Halberd.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his arm sharply and threw the Lightning Dragon's Halberd with all his might.
In an instant, the Spatial Power and the power of lightning collided violently, triggering a tremendous explosion.
The powerful storm generated by the explosion swept across the surrounding area with overwhelming force. The other Fairy Tail members who had already been knocked to the ground were blown away by the gale like kites with broken strings, losing their eligibility to continue the competition.
"So powerful... This is the true strength of Fairy Tail!" Just then, Pumpkin, the host, suddenly rang out in the arena. He was completely astonished, clearly shocked by the incredible scene before him.
After calming down for a while, he seemed to remember something, and his tone became serious.
"Everyone, everyone, there's one more thing. One of the members of Raven Tail is actually Guild Master Ivan! Pumpkin."
"This constitutes a violation of the competition rules, therefore, as per the instructions from higher authorities, you will be disqualified from all future competitions!"
"What!" Makarov immediately stood up in shock, clenching his fists. To be honest, he really hadn't noticed.
"This guy really doesn't learn his lesson! He actually plans to use such dirty methods to find out that secret?" Makarov was absolutely furious.
I didn't expect that guy would still not give up.
He stared coldly at his troublesome son being carried away, a complex mix of emotions rising within him.
The First Master Mavis stood to the side, staring blankly, lost in thought.
August, however, stood silently behind Mavis and draped his cloak over Mavis shoulders.
The clothes were very large, completely enveloping Mavis.
"Wow, that's incredible! The Titania wiped out the entire Fairy Tail all by herself!"
"Yeah, yeah, have you guys noticed? The other Fairy Tail members are incredibly powerful too! Each of them single-handedly wiped out several Fairy Tail!"
"Although those Fairy Tail may not seem very strong, taking them down won't be an easy task!"
"Look at them now, they're still handling the Sabertooth members with ease, and even have the upper hand!"
"My goodness, these guys in Fairy Tail are a bunch of Monsters!"
"As expected, their reputation is well-deserved! Becoming the number one Fairy Tail in the Fiore Kingdom is no exaggeration!"
"Yes, yes, that's truly admirable!"
The people on the street were excitedly discussing the match, their eyes glued to the exciting battles in the qualifiers, their faces beaming with Pleasure.
Who would have thought that the competition between the various Fairy Tail would be so fierce in just the preliminary rounds?
Everyone was full of praise for Fairy Tail's performance, with accolades rising and falling as if they would never stop.
Meanwhile, the remaining five kittens were also watching with great interest and enjoyment.
"Haha, Laxus is really amazing!" "Look at my punch, isn't it as powerful as Laxus's?"
Among them, Laxus's cat, Tami, was particularly excited. It started imitating Laxus's fighting stance and would occasionally show off to the other cats, saying, "See? Isn't my pose cool?"
Carla glanced at it and gave a fairly fair assessment. "Hmm... it does look pretty good!"
She keenly noticed that Tami's waving fist was crackling with faint arcs of electricity, and that it was brimming with power.
Ximi gazed at Tami with eyes full of adoration and pleaded, "Tami, can you teach me?"
However, after hearing Carla praise Tami, Happy felt jealous and pouted unhappily.
At the same time, he puffed out his chest and raised his head, striking a pose of defiance, then solemnly swung his fist, muttering, "Hmph, what's so great about that? I can do it too!"
"Don't be so smug, Lily is even more capable than you, he's a general!" Happy suddenly pointed to Lily, who hadn't said a word.
After they finished speaking, they found that Lily was trembling all over and didn't reply to them at all.
"Boom!" Another clap of thunder sounded.
Lily was startled, her ears drooped, and she covered them with her hands.
"Lily, are you afraid of thunder and lightning?" Carla asked, seemingly noticing something.
Lily stiffened, as if afraid of being discovered, and lowered her hands, trying to appear calm.
Boom!
The lightning struck again, Lily instinctively jumped in surprise once more.
"Wow~ I didn't expect Lily to have such a cute side!" Happy covered his mouth and chuckled. After all, every cat has something it's afraid of.
Carla chuckled as well.
"Shut up!" Lily yelled angrily.
