"Tch~ What a nuisance!" Zorn looked at the composed figures of the various Guild Master in the audience, a slight sneer playing on his lips.
He casually swept his slightly longer hair back with his hand, revealing a wild and untamed aura.
With this action, his gaze became even more stern.
These Guild Master really treat him like a babysitter!
They actually entrusted all the members of their Fairy Tail to him; they must really trust him completely.
Zorn couldn't help but silently complain in his heart, but at the same time, he understood that this was a manifestation of trust.
But I'm still not happy.
Zorn recalled all his previous efforts, whether it was training or mentoring, the starting point was always the future of everyone in the Fairy Tail. Only with enough power would they have the right to choose the future they wanted.
This has never changed from beginning to end.
As for the members of other Fairy Tail, let him see just how many can overcome their inner fears and dare to face that overwhelming power!
At that moment, a series of orderly footsteps came from inside the passageway, attracting everyone's attention.
The first to emerge were the two teams from Fairy Tail, brimming with confidence and energy;
Next up are Jura, Lyon, Sherria, Yuka, and Toby, the aces of Lamia Scale; followed by Ichiyo from Blue Pegasus, along with several other handsome members;
Finally, Kagura and Millianna, with their Mermaid Heels, helped those who could no longer stand to their feet out.
Bruno also led the several people who had already fainted out.
"Clap clap!"
A round of applause rang out, and Zorn smiled with satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, not bad, you didn't abandon your teammates, so you've passed!" His gaze swept over the remaining contestants, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Then, Zorn looked at those who had lost their fighting ability and collapsed on the ground, and said in a slightly gentler tone, "You have all done your best. Please go back to your respective Fairy Tail and rest for now!"
After saying that, Zorn waved his hand lightly, and a powerful surge of Magic Power instantly enveloped the people on the ground, then disappeared from the spot, sending them back to their respective Fairy Tail locations.
"Lord Zorn, you are truly terrifying! Even I am filled with admiration!" Jura, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, looked at Zorn and said in a deep voice.
His expression was very serious, and his eyes revealed a hint of apprehension.
At this moment, his body was already in a fighting stance, completely lacking the composure and calmness he displayed when facing others.
"Hmph~ Tch, just a self-righteous jerk!" Laxus said unhappily, his voice carrying a hint of resentment towards Zorn.
Powerful lightning energy crackled and popped around his body, as if it would tear the entire space apart. His eyes flashed with lightning as he stared directly at Zorn, showing no sign of weakness.
"Hahaha, I'm on fire!" Natsu laughed, extremely excited, and even breathed fire into the sky to vent his excitement.
Having said that, he became even more excited, and with a clapping of his fists, flame Magic Power surged, forming orange-red flames on his fists. The surrounding temperature rose rapidly under this action.
"Crimson Lotus Fire Dragon's Fist!" Natsu roared, launching a direct attack on Zorn.
His fist, crackling with intense heat, streaked across the sky like a burning meteor, carrying boundless power and might.
"Natsu! That idiot!" Gray shouted, his anxiety growing.
He knew Natsu's impulsive nature all too well. Although he had improved it before, he still couldn't control himself when facing a powerful opponent like Zorn.
"Natsu, have you forgotten what I taught you?"
"Impulsiveness is never advisable!" Zorn's voice boomed like a bell, resounding throughout the space. With a wave of his hand, countless light particles converged, forming a dazzling Light Sword, which he gripped tightly in his hand.
With a swing of his arm, a golden slash shot towards Natsu like lightning.
A resolute glint flashed in Natsu's eyes, and a layer of hard Armament Haki immediately appeared on his fist, which he then merged without hesitation into the raging flames around it.
He charged forward fearlessly to meet the attack, and the two collided violently, producing a deafening roar.
"Ah~" After a brief stalemate, the slash sent Natsu's body crashing into the solid wall, raising a cloud of dust. Natsu's body was deeply embedded in the wall, as if he had been nailed there.
"And you too, give it your all, there won't be any chance to catch your breath from here on out!" Zorn's eyes flashed with a cold light. He gripped his Light Sword tightly, slid his foot to the left, and lowered his body slightly, assuming an attack stance.
Suddenly, his body moved like an arrow released from a bow, and countless extremely sharp light blades slashed out from his hands, sweeping towards everyone like a storm.
"Hmph~ Leave it to me!" Jura's gaze sharpened, and she clapped her hands together, unleashing a torrent of Magic Power that shook the ground violently. Countless solid Iron Rock Walls rose from the earth, forming an indestructible fortress that firmly blocked the attack coming from the front.
"That kind of defense is useless! The best defense is offense!" Laxus sneered, his eyes cold and resolute.
His body instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Zorn at an astonishing speed.
Along the way, countless light blades shot towards him, but Laxus was crackling with powerful lightning, transforming into Lightning Dragon's Halberd, striking with both hands, each strike carrying a violent force, knocking the light blades away one by one.
"Take this!" Laxus roared, his Fangtian Ji gleaming with dazzling lightning.
Just then, several thick bolts of lightning suddenly rose from beneath Zorn's feet, binding his feet tightly like Chains.
However, Laxus gave his opponent no chance to breathe. He seized the opportunity to concentrate his raging lightning at the tip of his Fangtian Ji and then slashed it down heavily towards Zorn.
"Haha, well done!" Zorn's lips curled into a confident smile. The Light Sword in his hand was instantly covered by Armament Haki, and the originally golden blade turned Black-Gold, shimmering with a mysterious and powerful light.
With a forceful upward swing, a sharp Sword Energy aura roared forth. At the same time, Laxus's Lightning Dragon's Roar, like a ferocious beast, lunged at Zorn with bared fangs and claws.
The two attacks collided violently in mid-air, instantly bursting into dazzling sparks. Lightning and light blades intertwined, as brilliant and dazzling as fireworks, while also darting around the venue, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Let's all attack together! This kind of attack is useless against Zorn!" Erza shouted to the group with a determined look in her eyes. She knew that Zorn's strength was unfathomable, and that Laxus alone would probably not be able to defeat him. So, she did not hesitate to cast Requip Magic.
"Requip — Fairy Armor!" With a sharp shout, Erza's attire swiftly transformed into a magnificent suit of armor, radiating a powerful aura. Like a valiant female warrior, she resolutely charged into the battlefield between Laxus and Zorn.
However, Zorn showed no sign of panic.
Faced with Erza's sudden attack, he raised his leg and kicked upwards with great force, the movement swift and powerful.
This attack sent Laxus flying, tumbling several times in the air before regaining his footing. He then raised his hand and easily blocked Erza's attack with his Light Sword.
"Haha, great timing, Erza!" Zorn laughed approvingly, a hint of excitement in his voice. He could sense Erza's growth and progress, but he wouldn't let his guard down because of it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles in Zorn's arm suddenly bulged, exuding immense power. Erza's expression became strained, clearly under tremendous pressure. But she gritted her teeth and persevered, refusing to give up easily.
"Hey hey hey, watch this!" Cana shouted excitedly, her voice echoing across the entire battlefield. With her shout, a powerful surge of Magic Power emanated from the sky. Zorn looked up and saw Cana descending from the sky at an astonishing speed.
"Painful Sky Leg!" Cana shouted the move's name again, her legs gleaming with intense light.
This kick contained immense power and Magic Power.
When Zorn saw Cana's attack, he immediately realized the danger.
However, due to the close proximity, he had no time to dodge.
Just then, Erza reacted quickly, retreating at top speed to get out of Cana's attack range.
With a loud bang, smoke billowed up.
The earth shook violently, making it impossible to see the current situation clearly.
