"George! George! George!"
As soon as Mirajane finished speaking, the guild's mages all cheered for George.
Clearly, in their hearts, George was the most preferred successor, even though George had only been with the guild for less than a year, while Laxus had grown up in the guild.
"Laxus! Laxus! Laxus!"
Upon seeing this, Freed, who had already woken up from his coma, immediately started shouting with Bickslow and Evergreen. His voice was so hoarse that it barely stood out among the many shouts for George.
The main reason was that everyone felt a little sorry for Freed and the other two because they were shouting so hysterically.
Since they were all companions, they all lowered their voices slightly.
"It seems that you are the one everyone hopes for."
Laxus heard voices calling for George, and there was a hint of disappointment in his voice, but he quickly cheered up again.
"It's alright. As long as I defeat you and let them know who the guild's strongest mage is, they will naturally support me."
This world has always been the strong are respected!
"Well, then beat me first."
George knew that whatever he said now would inevitably lead to a fight, so he didn't bother with any more grand pronouncements.
Deep down, he actually agreed with Laxus's statement.
He's just not as extreme as Laxus.
The strong are respected, and this holds true in every world. Without sufficient strength, one cannot rewrite tragedy simply through emotions and bonds.
"Then let's go!"
Laxus pointed at George:
"Summon Lightning!"
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at George's head.
George was covered in lightning. He raised his cat paw and swung it to the right, diverting the lightning to his right side.
At the same time, he took out a coin from the Costume Space and flicked it at Laxus.
"Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"
Driven by the electric light, the coin shot towards Laxus at supersonic speed.
Laxus didn't panic. He just sucked in the coin that was almost in front of him, and all the electricity on it was sucked into his stomach.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the coin that had been rubbed down to half its original size.
After the first round of probing, George confirmed that Laxus, like Natsu, could indeed absorb energy of the same element, while Laxus also confirmed George's control over lightning.
"We can no longer use electric True Magic and abilities."
George quickly made up his mind.
Railgun, Plasma Railgun, Thunder Giant, and ancient True Magic Thunderstorm Descends have no effect on Laxus; instead, they are absorbed by him to enhance his power.
Therefore, the only way to weaken Laxus's lightning attacks is to use the ability to control electricity.
But that's alright, lightning is just one of his many True Magic and abilities.
The wand in this world is one of the best in all his worlds, capable of maximizing the power of True Magic in the Harry Potter world. Even without lightning True Magic and abilities, it would be enough to deal with Laxus.
"Lightning Battle Suit!"
On the other side, after a round of probing, Laxus immediately abandoned its ranged lightning True Magic attacks and instead concentrated all its magic and lightning on itself, greatly stimulating and strengthening its body, intending to engage in close combat.
There are mages in this world who are good at controlling the elements, like Totomaru, one of the Four Elements of Phantom Lord, who can control fire and caused Natsu a lot of trouble at the beginning.
However, he is not a useless Dragon Slayer Mage like Natsu, and his lightning is not so easy to control.
However, when facing this type of mage, directly using lightning True Magic to attack, even if you manage to forcefully seize control and hit the target, will result in a significant reduction in power.
The best approach is to harness magic and lightning to one's own power, and then engage in close combat using True Magic attacks that are difficult to control.
Furthermore, as a Dragon Slayer Mage, his physical body was already powerful, and it became even stronger after being amplified by lightning.
Although his opponent had learned the old man's Giant Magic and knocked Freed down in one blow, and his close combat ability was definitely not weak, he was more confident in himself. He believed that he would be the one standing on the stage in the end.
"Lightning Fist!"
Laxus transformed into lightning and threw a punch at George.
George, on the other hand, waved his wand:
"Impediment Jinx!"
A blue-green spark flashed in front of the wand, and Laxus, who had entered elemental form at an incredibly fast speed, was slowed down and forced out of elemental form.
Impediment Jinx, a very useful high-level spell that he had only recently discovered and learned.
Originally, he thought the Impediment Jinx was the kind of spell that raises obstacles on the ground, and it didn't seem very useful, so he never bothered to learn it.
It wasn't until he was studying Time Magic that he discovered that this Impediment Jinx, like the Freezing Charm and the Reparo, was actually Parademons extension of the Time Magic system.
In other words, the actual effect of the Impediment Jinx is to slow down the opponent's time, thereby indirectly slowing down the opponent's speed.
If the target is a small creature like a bee or House-elf, it can be used to suspend them in the air, just like the Freezing Charm.
According to Dumbledore's description, if this Impediment Jinx is mastered to its highest level, it can even cause the enemy's time to rewind, turning back their actions by several seconds.
It's a curse with enormous potential.
However, he certainly doesn't have that level of skill right now; he can only slow down his opponent.
"Vanished without a trace!"
After slowing Laxus down, George waved his wand again and used the Invisibility Spell to become invisible on the spot.
He had no intention of engaging in close combat with Laxus.
He engaged Freed in close combat because he was confident he could defeat Freed in a few moves, with virtually no risk involved.
However, he wasn't so confident in close combat with Laxus.
Given the risks involved, he could easily choose to be an elegant ranged Mage, since he doesn't necessarily have to use lightning True Magic; he has plenty of ranged True Magic at his disposal.
Recently, thanks to Dumbledore's guidance, his True Magic abilities in the Harry Potter world have greatly improved, making it a good time to test his skills on Laxus.
Another point is that, compared to the magic society of this world, his magic power is limitless.
As long as their overall strength isn't significantly greater than his, he can wear them down by using kiting and ranged True Magic to whittle them down.
Laxus's overall strength is significantly weaker than his.
Therefore, in this battle, he will let Laxus experience what the difference in strength is, and he will be defeated without even having a chance to fight in close combat.
"It even knows Invisibility Magic!"
Upon realizing that his speed had been greatly reduced and that George had disappeared ahead, Laxus's expression changed immediately. He stopped and assumed a defensive stance, beginning to search for George's whereabouts.
