The moment the halberd and the club clashed, it seemed as if the heavens and earth trembled.
The Black-Gold electric current and the earthy-yellow air waves rose into the air like two giant dragons, directly overturning the entire venue.
The ground, unable to withstand the terrifying power of the two, crumbled and cracked, with rubble flying up like raindrops.
A howling wind carried the pebbles, pelting them against the barrier in front of the audience.
"Yay! Yay!"
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! He's actually on par with that Jura!"
The crowd stared in disbelief at the astonishing scene before them, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
This match was not only absolutely thrilling, but also completely safe, allowing everyone to enjoy it to their heart's content. How could anyone not be ecstatic?
"Look, there it is..." Natsu squinted, staring intently at the movement in the mist, then suddenly became excited, exclaiming with obvious Pleasure upon discovering something.
"Hmm?" Gray, hearing this, quickly followed Natsu's gaze and also noticed the anomaly. He crossed his arms and said with a smile, "It seems Laxus still has the upper hand..."
Jabadirola stood up trembling, muttering incredulously, "This... this... this... how is this possible!"
"What did I just see?! The Ten Wizard Saints, Mr. Jura... he's actually moved so far back!" His voice was filled with disbelief and shock.
The sound was amplified by the microphone and carried throughout the entire venue.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the two figures finally appeared before everyone.
The ground had completely sunk, and two long drag marks appeared in front of Jura, as if it had been dragged by some enormous force.
Therefore, it is clear that Laxus has an advantage in this contest of strength.
Laxus still wore that arrogant smile, his eyes filled with fanatical fighting spirit and excitement.
Looking at his opponent in disbelief, he thought to himself:
"The opponent was actually able to withstand such an attack! Keep in mind that this attack contained powerful Armament Haki and violent lightning power, its power was multiplied!"
"So this is the true power of the Ten Wizard Saints! That's more like it! It's no fun fighting if the opponents aren't strong!"
Laxus was playing with increasing intensity.
He already had absolute confidence in his strength, but this encounter with Jura made him realize his own power even more deeply.
"Laxus ~" Makarov stared in disbelief at everything. Although he knew that Laxus was exceptionally strong, he only thought that Laxus could at most fight Jura to a draw.
However, the reality exceeded his expectations. Laxus not only clearly outmatched Jura in strength, but also seemed to have it all under control.
"I never expected him to be this strong! You must think so too, Third Generation Hokage." The First Master Mavis, sat on the railing, her sharp and piercing eyes fixed on Laxus below, as if she could see through everything.
She also keenly sensed Makarov's true inner thoughts.
"Everyone is growing up!" Mavis thought to herself. Witnessing the rise of the younger generation, she couldn't help but feel genuinely gratified and Pleasure.
"The burdens of the future will ultimately fall on the shoulders of you young people!" Mavis said with a smile, his eyes shining with expectations for the next generation.
She knew that only through their hard work and struggle could they create an even more glorious era.
"This is truly astonishing!" Jura said slowly, a hint of excitement in his voice. His eyes were also filled with fighting spirit.
"After all this time, I've finally encountered an opponent who truly ignites my passion!" Jura's eyes gleamed with unwavering determination, and his Magic Power erupted like a volcano, causing the earth to tremble violently.
"Hmph~ Me too, I'm completely ablaze now!" As Laxus finished speaking, his aura grew stronger and stronger, as if he were about to devour the entire world.
Laxus unleashed his full Magic Power without backing down, his hands clasped together in fists, and an unnamed, powerful aura shot straight into the sky like a rocket.
At the same time, as if summoned by some mysterious force, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky above the venue.
With a deafening roar, the earth began to tremble violently.
The dark cloud overhead pressed down on the city like a mountain crushing an egg. These two earth-shattering and terrifying Magic Power swept through the entire venue in an instant.
Even with the Light Curtain Magic cast by Zorn as a barrier, everyone present truly felt the suffocating sense of oppression.
People's breathing became rapid and difficult, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their chests.
Their eyes were fixed on Laxus and Jura, their hearts filled with fear and awe.
Under the influence of this powerful Magic Power, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
"This kind of attack... the arena definitely can't withstand it, Mr. Yajima..." Jabudilora trembled involuntarily as he watched the two men become serious. He turned to the former Council Member beside him, his face filled with terror, hoping to stop the match.
However, the old man Yajima appeared calm and composed. He held a cup of hot tea in both hands, savoring it with relish, and watched the match below with great interest.
"Don't worry, we already have the most suitable person for safety! Rest assured!!"
Time was of the essence, Jura shouted without hesitation, "Then let's have a showdown!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
"Rock Mountain" Jura his hands together forcefully, and the violently shaking earth instantly returned to calm.
Immediately afterwards, a huge stone statue slowly rose up, like an impregnable fortress, tightly protecting Jura within it.
Taking a deep breath, Jura maintained the Magic with one hand while swiftly forming a hand seal with the other. With a roar, Jura unleashed his ultimate technique. "Overlord Rock Shatter!!"
"Jura's strongest offensive Magic, and strongest Defensive Magic!" Makarov whispered directly. As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, he had also witnessed this kind of Magic.
It was clear that Jura had used all his strength and was holding nothing back.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about Laxus.
"Just what I wanted!" Laxus grinned, a smug smile spreading across his face, as he focused intently on communicating with the lightning power within the dark clouds.
At that moment, deafening roars of thunder came from within the dark clouds, as if they were about to tear the entire sky apart.
Accompanied by this terrifying sound, a gigantic dragon shadow gradually emerged from the clouds.
The roar of a dragon echoed from the depths of the dark clouds, like a thunderclap, shaking the very core of the soul.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous claw emerged from the clouds, easily tearing through the dense, dark clouds.
The gigantic head then burst forth from the clouds, baring its fangs and claws, spewing forth surging lightning that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Laxus stood on the ground, guiding this powerful force, his gaze firm and focused, his dragon eyes locking onto Jura in the distance.
"S-Rank Magic - Lightning Dragon's Strike!!" Laxus roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the surroundings.
Despite having already depleted some of his Magic Power in the previous battle, he still managed to unleash this powerful Magic. Although this attack wasn't his full strength, its completion rate was still as high as 80%!
"This is incredible! They've even developed this kind of Magic!" Yajima exclaimed, taking a sip of tea.
In an instant, the world was in turmoil as two powerful forces confronted each other.
On one side, the powerful explosive force emanating from the earth enveloped Laxus completely;
On the other side, lightning bolts hurtled down from the sky with devastating force, striking Jura directly.
At that moment, Zorn unhesitatingly released all his Magic Power, which gushed out continuously.
These Magic Power caused the Light Elements in the space to rapidly converge in the surrounding space, and five incredibly sturdy Magic defense arrays opened in front of each audience member, forming a solid barrier to protect everyone from the impact of these two forces.
With a loud bang.
The energy wave that shot into the sky came directly from the dispersing dark clouds.
After an unknown amount of time... the smoke slowly dissipated.
The area had now become a deep pit, and the two who had unleashed such powerful Magic were now protected by a thin layer of Light Curtain.
They were all dressed in tattered clothes and panting heavily.
"What an amazing brat... I'm truly conceding defeat now!" Jura's lips curled up as she looked at Laxus, who was rolling his eyes but still stubbornly standing still, and expressed her deep admiration.
Jura's body finally collapsed to the ground, and he fell into a coma.
His attack was already at full strength, but he also used Defensive Magic to protect himself, so his offensive Magic was naturally weakened.
Laxus, on the other hand, used all his Magic Power energy to unleash offensive Magic, covering his entire body with Armament Haki, leaving only a small amount of Magic Power to form a thin armor.
In comparison, I realize that my abilities are still insufficient.
It's true that the younger generation surpasses the older, and new people replace the old; ultimately, the world belongs to the young.
"Oh oh!"
"Ahhh~"
The venue erupted into a frenzy in moments; the competition was absolutely thrilling, and everyone's hearts were pounding with excitement.
"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"
"Unbelievable! This is incredible! Laxus actually defeated the Ten Wizard Saints!"
"Laxus wins!!" the announcer shouted excitedly in a hoarse voice, declaring the winner.
Upon hearing this, Laxus let out his last breath and slowly collapsed.
Zorn immediately withdrew his Magic and let out a deep breath. It had really taken a lot of effort; protecting so many people had really drained his Magic Power.
It consumed a significant amount.
