"I can handle that group of guys all by myself!"
"Conquering this continent is really not difficult at all!"
The Desert King, Ajeel, stood atop the foremost warship, arms crossed, his face arrogant and his expression full of contempt for the forces ahead.
At this moment, Ajeel seemed to already see himself leading his army to break through the enemy's defenses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
On the other side
On Christina's deck
A series of hurried footsteps approached.
Hibiki Retis rushed up behind Ajeel and said anxiously, "Mr. One Night, Imperial warships have appeared near the Borderlands!"
"Furthermore, that immense Magic Power has confirmed that it belongs to a team led by one of the Twelve Holy Shields."
Hibiki Retis's face was solemn as he tapped his fingers on the screen in front of him, his tone very serious.
The information displayed on the Magic formed screen made him feel heavy-hearted; he couldn't find any useful information.
"Well, it's time for us Blue Pegasus to show our strength!" Suddenly, Ichiyo stretched out her hands, holding test tubes filled with fragrance, and spun around on the warship. The corks of the test tubes were opened, and various colorful fragrances flooded her nostrils.
"Strength Fragrance ~" "Speed Fragrance!"
As the aroma was continuously inhaled, the aura of the night gradually intensified, and the muscles in the body began to bulge.
"The Courage Fragrance ~"
"The Fighting Spirit Fragrance!"
More fragrance entered his body, and his aura grew stronger throughout the night, his gaze becoming increasingly resolute.
The aroma intensified, and with a final roar, his entire body swelled several times its original size, his muscles bulged high, and his eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit.
This battle is for the sake of the entire continent, and it is his responsibility as Mage.
He's an S-Class Mage from Blue Pegasus, after all!!
"Magic Converging Cannon - Magic Power Filling Complete!" Ivan Tirum reported loudly to his companions from the control panel, his fingers flying across the keyboard. His voice was filled with tension and anticipation.
"Alright~ then launch it directly~" Yi Ye replied calmly. His gaze was firm and composed, as if he had already prepared to deal with anything.
"Everyone else, prepare for battle!" Ye Yi then issued a second order.
His serious tone made everyone aware of the challenges that lay ahead.
As the order was given overnight, Ivan didn't hesitate to slam his fingers heavily on the keyboard.
Instantly, the cannons at the front of the warship began to gather a dazzling light, as if a brilliant Light Beam was about to burst out of the barrel.
With a deafening roar, a massive beam of light shot out from the warship's cannons, heading straight for the warship where Ajeel was located.
This beam of light carried boundless energy and power, as if it were about to tear apart the entire space.
However, faced with such a powerful attack, Ajeel laughed contemptuously.
"Trying to be clever~"
He raised his hand, Magic Power rapidly gathering in it, and then forcefully slapped it towards the beam of light.
In an instant, the beam of light emitted by the Magic Converging Cannon shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.
The originally powerful attack was easily neutralized without causing Ajeel the slightest harm.
"What?! He blocked it with just a wave of his hand!" The members of the Blue Pegasus stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
They already knew that Ajeel was incredibly powerful, but they never expected him to be able to block such a powerful attack so easily.
At this moment, everyone felt unprecedented pressure.
They understood that the battle ahead would be exceptionally difficult. But they did not back down; instead, they became even more determined to face this life-or-death struggle.
"This is in return for your kindness~" Ajeel's eyes narrowed, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and the moment he crossed his hands, Magic Power surged out like a raging wave, and the ground began to shake violently.
What happened next shocked them—not just shocked, but more accurately, horrified.
Because the land below had been transformed into an endless desert! This power was absolutely terrifying.
Under Ajeel's precise control, the desert rapidly coalesced into an enormous serpent, towering over the earth, its body upright, its height exceeding that of their warships.
The giant serpent roared, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged directly at their warship, seemingly intending to swallow the entire vessel whole.
"Power!" Ye Yi roared, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He stomped his foot, and the air beneath his feet seemed to shatter, unleashing a powerful burst of Magic Power from his body.
Overnight, his arm muscles bulged, becoming as hard as steel, and Magic Power continuously gathered in his fist, forming a dazzling light.
Without hesitation, he slammed his fist down hard on the serpent's head, the light from his fist instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.
With a single punch, the giant snake's head was instantly blasted into countless grains of sand, which scattered in the air.
However, before he could even rejoice, his enemy Ajeel, let out a contemptuous sneer.
His voice was as cold and piercing as ice, sending chills down one's spine.
"That's hilarious. If that's all the attacks you can get, you'd better surrender. That way you might save your lives." Ajeel's tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
As soon as he finished speaking, several more identical giant snakes suddenly appeared all around.
Everyone stared in disbelief, utterly bewildered by this terrifying Magic Power.
They couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
Even if one night, the adult could withstand such an attack.
But how many times can it withstand it?
Bang! A loud bang echoed in the air, and a mysterious blade of light flashed through the air.
The enormous serpentine body that had been formed instantly broke in two, then turned into countless grains of sand that scattered and fell to the ground.
"One night, everyone from the Blue Pegasus, leave this guy to me."
As a clear, cold female voice rang out, Erza, clad in armor, slowly landed on the deck.
"Erza? Weren't you guys attacking Tartaros?"
"How could they have arrived so quickly?"
"Could it be that you have successfully destroyed the Tartaros?" Ichiya and his three henchmen stared wide-eyed at Erza's retreating figure in disbelief.
They were filled with doubt: could the Tartaros really be defeated so easily?
Wasn't it said to be full of Zeref's powerful demons?
Even with Lord Zorn of the Ten Wizard Saints accompanying him, wouldn't he still have to deal with Hades?
"Yes, the Tartaros have been dealt with!" "Don't worry, leave this person to me!"
"Requip — Purgatory Armor!" Erza said solemnly.
Her clothes instantly turned deep black, revealing spiked steel armor, and her wings flapped behind her.
He shot out like an arrow released from a bow, lightly tapping his feet in the air as he used Moon Step, further increasing his speed.
In the blink of an eye, Erza had already boarded the warship where Ajeel was.
With a flash, he brandished his spiked club and shouted, "Black Feather - Moon Flash!" The spiked club, accompanied by an explosive sound, slammed directly into Ajeel's face like a meteor.
Ajeel smiled mockingly, then directly turned his right hand into sand and caught the attack with a punch.
Both men stumbled back several steps at the same time, and the entire warship shook violently due to their impact.
Ajeel's smile vanished, his expression turning serious, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. "Fairy Tail? How many people in your Fairy Tail are stronger than you?"
His tone revealed his recognition of Erza's strength and his curiosity about the other members of Fairy Tail.
"You actually dare to confront us one-on-one?" Ajeel continued, a defiant glint in his eyes.
"That's enough to deal with you!"
Erza's gaze sharpened, and she assumed her fighting stance once more, unleashing another attack.
Ajeel was also on his body when a sandstorm formed on the ship.
The aftermath of their battle also forced their warships to land on land.
