Dimensional Judgment Descends

The colliding energies intertwined and then spread outwards!

Boom!

A massive fireball engulfed the entire broadcast.

Katarina: "How's it going?!"

All three guild members focused their gazes on the broadcast screen.

As the dust slowly settled...

Laxus stared in disbelief at Ling Yuan, who was lightly wiping his mouth.

"You! You're a Dragon Slayer Mage too?!"

"Heh, who knows," Ling Yuan chuckled. "You have your trump cards, why can't I?"

"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting! This is even better! I don't want my subordinate to be useless!" After a brief silence, Laxus burst into laughter, then looked at Ling Yuan with fighting spirit: "Just don't be as boring as that person in our guild!"

Boom!

The ground cracked, and with a flash of lightning, Laxus charged at Ling Yuan.

"Lightning Dragon's—Fists!"

Not to be outdone, Ling Yuan also threw a punch and charged forward.

"Flame Demon Dragon's—Sky Attack!"

Boom!

The two fists slammed into each other heavily, tearing apart the solid ground.

Countless gravel and mud scattered under the intense impact!

The next moment...

They both leaped backward simultaneously, creating distance.

Then, they exploded forward at the exact same time...

Countless invisible fists collided.

Finally, as Laxus threw a punch from above, Ling Yuan bent downwards.

Infinite flames gathered in his hand.

The red core on his chest flashed with light.

"Soaring Embers Profound Spirit!" he called out softly.

"Roar!"

A giant firebird flew from Ling Yuan's hand, accompanied by a bird's cry, sending Laxus flying straight into the sky!

Laxus, propelled high into the air, didn't surrender. He pressed his hands firmly onto the firebird's feathers.

His lightning power surged, and he refused to let go even as his hands were scorched.

Finally, the lightning completely neutralized the flames of the firebird.

Laxus let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he raised his hands towards the sky.

Rumble!

Golden lightning from the sky struck Laxus perfectly.

He greedily swallowed the lightning.

Amidst the roaring thunder, the golden lightning coalesced into a halberd!

Looking down at Ling Yuan, his pupils sharpened: "Die!"

"Lightning Dragon Halberd!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, the halberd made of lightning shot violently towards Ling Yuan!

Seeing the halberd descending from the sky, Ling Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

He softly whispered, "Belleronus!"

Boom!

Infinite flames erupted from behind him, transforming into a colossal figure!

"What?!"

High in the sky, seeing the white dragon bathed in flames, Laxus's expression drastically changed.

"Blazing Flame!"

Towards the halberd and Laxus in the sky, Ling Yuan calmly uttered two words.

"Roar!"

Belleronus roared upon hearing the command, its core surging as orange-red flames gathered in the void.

Finally, A torrent of flame breath, powerful enough to cleave the sky, was unleashed!

The fiery light engulfed the Lightning Dragon Halberd, causing not the slightest ripple!

Finally, The dragon's breath perfectly and flawlessly reduced the stunned Laxus high in the sky to ashes!

[Fantasy Battle Duel, Ling Yuan Victorious!]

Accompanied by golden subtitles, Belleronus transformed into light and entered Ling Yuan's body.

Ling Yuan also vanished from the ruined land.

Fairy Tail World

"Laxus?!"

The three members of the Thunder Legion, who had been anxiously waiting, couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Laxus suddenly appear.

Hearing their voices, Laxus slowly opened his eyes, still feeling a sense of lingering fear.

"That guy, he actually keeps such a monster?"

"Laxus, what's wrong?" Freed asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, just let me catch my breath." Waving his hand, Laxus walked away into the distance.

Returning to his own bedroom, Ling Yuan reached out and released Ophis, then pulled her into his embrace.

Isn't it wonderful to chat with group members while holding a girl?

At this moment, everyone in the group chat was in a daze.

Katarina: "It feels like I just had a dream."

Maple: "Was that a dragon just now? It was so beautiful, completely different from the Western dragons I know."

Akame: "..."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Tch, I was careless! To think that I, a dignified Dragon Slayer Mage, would be killed by a dragon!"

Maple: "Dragon Slayer Mage?"

Ling Yuan: "It's a kind of lost ancient magic, specifically designed to hunt dragons."

Katarina: "Magic specifically for hunting dragons? That sounds incredibly powerful!"

[Group member 'Lightning Dragon Slayer' sent a special red envelope to group owner 'Ling Yuan'.]

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I lost, @Ling Yuan, it's all yours."

Ling Yuan: "Thanks."

[Ding! Group owner 'Ling Yuan' received the red envelope.]

Katarina: "This is so convenient, it can even send magic. This social group chat is so different from what I imagined."

[Group member 'Maple' sent a red envelope.]

[Ding! 'Lightning Dragon Slayer' has already snatched it!]

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "What is this? It's sticky and disgusting!"

Maple: "This is a slime I just defeated, hehe. But it's amazing, it can actually be sent."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "???"

Katarina: "Don't send such weird things! Also, @Lightning Dragon Slayer, thank you for snatching it before me, you're a good person."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "..."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I don't think we're that close, are we?"

Katarina: "We're all in the same group, let's get along. If something happens in the future, we can all discuss it."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "No need!"

Ling Yuan: "@Katarina, don't mind him, this kid is tsundere. He actually cares deeply about the people in his guild."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "!@Ling Yuan, you bastard, what did you say?! How could I possibly care about those weaklings?"

Ling Yuan: "Then let me show you a video."

[Ding! Ling Yuan uploaded a memory fragment, Fairy Tail Civil War Magnolia Church Arc]

Laxus, walking alone, saw the file sent by Ling Yuan and his pupils contracted.

Civil war?!

Chapter 11: The Man Most Against His Own Heart

After all group members had finished receiving their memory copies, A strange memory suddenly entered their minds...

Inside the grand cathedral of Magnolia, the city where the guild Fairy Tail was stationed, Laxus, who had activated his [Lightning Dragon] mode, cast the ultimate magic, Fairy Law, which 'banishes darkness with holy light, targeting only those the caster deems enemies,' over the entirety of Magnolia.

But unfortunately, after the endless light, nothing happened at all – not a single person was affected, aside from a bit more dust.

The situation became extremely awkward and embarrassing.

Katarina: "Truly pathetic, being slapped in the face by your own magic."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Shut up!"

Akame: "I know a Teigu, [Varied Transformation], that would suit you well, @Lightning Dragon Slayer."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "..."

Ling Yuan: "I've never seen such a shameless person, licking their own conscience while doing things completely against their will, and yet someone still thinks this is being true to themselves?"

Maple: "Ah, poor Lightning Dragon brother."

Laxus's face turned red as he was teased by the group members.

He would absolutely not admit it!

That he had actually considered those weaklings as comrades!

"Damn it!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Bang!

Laxus stomped heavily on the ground, cracking it into a large pit.
