"Boom!" A murderous voice rang out from the smoke.
Zorn's body suddenly glowed with golden light, clearly indicating that he had been hit by the Jackal's Explosion Curse, which could turn anything he touched into a bomb and detonate it. This was the kick that Zorn had just received.
Even a slight touch is enough for the Jackal to unleash Explosion Curse.
"Oh~ that's quite an ability~" Zorn nodded in praise as he watched the body glow with an almost explosive light.
However, he showed no fear whatsoever.
"Who are you?"
Jackal had been watching Zorn's expression intently, hoping to capture his prey's despair, was disappointed. He slowly stood up with a solemn expression, seemingly realizing that his opponent was no ordinary Mage.
"I, I am the Fourth Guild Master of Fairy Tail — Zorn!" As Zorn finished speaking, his gaze sharpened, and all his Magic Power was released at that moment.
An incredibly powerful Magic Power, like a surging torrent, shot directly into the sky.
The intensity of this Magic Power far exceeded the power of the Explosion Curse, instantly Crash its Curse.
"You... you are Zorn, one of the Ten Wizard Saints?" Wolf raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
His gaze was fixed intently on Zorn, filled with concentration.
"I didn't expect there to be someone like you among the Ten Wizard Saints. You can actually wear down the effect of Curse Power with just Magic Power impact~" The Jackal's voice was trying to sound calm.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a scale of Magic Power in a human being.
The fighting stance his body instinctively assumed in an instant, along with his solemn tone, showed that Jackal could no longer maintain his arrogant behavior.
Then, Jackal's gaze suddenly fell on the crowd below, a cunning glint in his eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
"No wonder, no wonder, how about this~" the Jackal muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of provocation.
Then, he suddenly turned his body and swung his hands like lightning towards the surrounding houses, instantly releasing a powerful force.
A dazzling light suddenly shone from the surrounding air, enveloping the Town as if it were about to tear the entire city apart.
"Remote Detonation!!" the Jackal shouted triumphantly, his voice echoing in the air, his eyes gleaming with confidence and arrogance, seemingly brimming with self-assurance in his abilities.
"How many people can you protect like this? Haha!" The Jackal began to laugh wildly. Even the Ten Wizard Saints couldn't save everyone with such an attack.
He wanted to see how this person known as the Ten Wizard Saints would choose.
The Jackal was about to grasp the bomb with both hands and detonate it when it suddenly found that its hands were frozen in mid-air.
"You think I'd give you a chance to detonate it?" Zorn's eyes were filled with murderous intent, his smile vanishing instantly, and killing intent enveloped the Jackal's body.
"I really don't know how you lowly demons can analyze the true strength of your opponents!" Zorn said, enunciating each word clearly, as he stepped forward.
The sound of footsteps pounded into the hearts of the Jackals.
"What... what's up with this person?"
My body is trembling!
"And... I can't even move!"
"Quick... quick... move!" The Jackal desperately tried to move his body, but it wouldn't budge. He could only watch helplessly as Zorn walked towards him step by step.
The Jackal's eyes were filled with fear and despair; he couldn't understand why his body had lost control.
They struggled desperately, but could not break free from this constraint no matter what they did.
Every step Zorn took felt like it was stepping on his heart, causing him immense pain and torment.
Zorn walked up to the Jackal, looking down at him with a cold glint in his eyes.
Zorn's voice seemed to come from the abyss. "Can't you move anymore? You can't even transform?"
The Jackal swallowed hard, trying to speak, but no sound came out. Just as Zorn had said, he couldn't even do that.
His lips trembled, and his face was as pale as paper.
Zorn sneered and mocked, "The difference in strength between you and me is like heaven and earth." With that, Zorn snapped his fingers, and an unimaginable force of gravity descended instantly, slamming down on the Jackal.
Caught off guard, the Jackal let out a shrill scream, its body feeling as heavy as if it had been crushed by Mount Tai, and it fell straight to the ground.
The Jackal lay on the ground, panting heavily, a trickle of scarlet blood slowly seeping from the corner of its mouth, its eyes wide open, filled with shock and disbelief.
He found that even lifting his head had become extremely difficult, as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart.
"Sorry, Kyoka ~" The Jackal suddenly relaxed, a wild and unruly smile appearing on his lips.
"At least, at least we have to take this guy with us! Otherwise, our plan will definitely fail!" he thought to himself.
The Jackal's body began to glow brightly. Recalling every moment since his encounter with Zorn, only a few minutes had passed. None of his attacks had worked, while his opponent remained completely at ease, leaving him powerless to fight back.
Such a powerful opponent, if allowed to exist in the world, would probably only be able to contend with the King of the Tartaros.
Therefore, under no circumstances should he allow such a dangerous person to ruin their carefully planned scheme.
"I'm sorry, you can't fulfill this wish." Zorn smiled slightly. He had long anticipated the Jackal's every move. As Zorn spoke, the Jackal's body slowly floated up.
"And do you really think that only your Tartaros are launching an attack?"
Zorn walked up to the Jackal, leaned close to Jackal ear, and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret. Just now, I sent our Fairy Tail members to attack your Tartaros Headquarters."
"What?" The Jackal stared wide-eyed at Zorn, his face filled with disbelief, a wave of panic washing over him.
"Right now, our Fairy Tail members are already on their way to your Fairy Tail Headquarters!" Zorn whispered in the Jackal's ear.
Upon hearing this, the Jackal was suddenly stunned. He could no longer control his terrified gaze and just stared blankly as Zorn told him this cruel truth.
The fact that someone knew the location of the Headquarters of the Tartaros was a complete shock to them.
"And see you at Headquarters!" Zorn said coldly, his voice as icy as the Arctic wind. He simply raised his hand.
With his gesture, the Jackal soared into the sky at an astonishing speed, like a burning meteor streaking across the heavens.
The Jackal's figure vanished swiftly in the sky, leaving behind a dazzling trail of light.
However, in that breathtaking moment, the Jackal's heart was filled with chill and fear.
Has Zorn already discovered all the secrets of their Tartaros?
Did the other party even know that he himself could be resurrected?
Zorn's suggestion to meet at Headquarters put unprecedented pressure and unease on the Jackals.
They also developed a deep fear of Zorn. This mysterious and unpredictable man seemed to possess unimaginable abilities and wisdom, making it impossible for the Jackals to predict his next move.
A deafening boom echoed through the sky, filling the entire Town with golden light, but the shockwave was firmly contained by Zorn.
The members of the Magic Council were also unharmed when Zorn threw them onto the ground.
"As you all know, in my capacity as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, I have acted on behalf of three of Ten Wizard Saints — Warrod Sinken, Makarov, Jura —to request the Magic Council to mobilize all resources and power, and deploy all combat forces to the Borderlands of the Kingdom Continent."
Zorn took out an Official Document and handed it to the still-stunned Chairman before turning into a beam of light and disappearing from the spot.
"This... this is... how could this be? The Alvarez Empire actually wants to start a war with us!" The Chairman murmured in horror, his hands trembling so much that he could no longer hold the thin paper.
"The war has begun!"
