Dimensional Judgment Descends

"Heh, anyone can talk big. Don't think you can get arrogant just because you beat a few weaklings! Let this great me test your strength!" Shaking his head, Gajeel's arm transformed into a jet-black iron sword as he charged at Laxus.

Watching Gajeel charge from the ground, Laxus's expression remained unchanged as he slowly let his coat fall to the floor.

He glanced sideways at the three people behind Gajeel.

They were three of Phantom Lord's Four Elements.

The Water Element, Juvia; the Earth Element, Sol; and the Fire Element, Totomaru.

Laxus didn't even spare them a glance, directly telling Freed and the others, "You three can handle them."

Then, he looked at Gajeel, the Iron Dragon, and said, "As for this guy, he's mine."

By this time, Gajeel had already reached Laxus. He fiercely raised his Iron Dragon Sword and brought it down heavily upon him.

"Clang!" Gajeel's pupils flashed with excitement.

Got him!

But the next moment, he only felt a flash of yellow lightning before him.

Crack!

The Iron Dragon Sword in his hand snapped in two.

Bang!

A fist landed heavily on his face, sending him flying.

He crashed heavily into the ruins.

Looking again, Laxus stood with his left fist clenched, yellow lightning crackling around it.

Akame: "No matter how many times I see it, it's still so fast!"

First Prince: "..."

Ren Kouen gazed deeply at Laxus in the screen, lightning swirling around him.

To gain such power with his own strength, without relying on a Metal Vessel?

His thirst for knowledge of other worlds grew.

"Ga, Gajeel..."

The three Phantom Lord Elements, who were entangled with the Thunder Legion, were stunned.

Is this really that invincible Iron Dragon? He was taken down with a single punch.

"Laxus!" Freed's expression turned into that of a fangirl.

Just then, a sparse voice sounded.

Gajeel crawled out of the ruins.

"Ptooey!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which even contained a tooth.

But instead of fear, he even smiled as he looked at Laxus.

"As expected of Fairy Tail, you do have some strength."

"But still, it's not enough!"

As he spoke, the skin around his body gradually turned a dark iron color.

His mottled body looked like overlapping dragon scales.

He lunged forward, adopting a beast-like predatory stance.

"Let me show you what magic for hunting dragons truly is!"

"Heh." Laxus sneered.

He beckoned Gajeel with a finger, "Come on."

Maple: "Hunting dragons? I remember Brother Laxus is a Dragon Slayer Mage, and that's magic specifically for hunting dragons."

Ling Yuan: "That's right. Laxus is the Lightning Dragon, and Gajeel is the Iron Dragon. Although they are both Dragon Slayer Mages, there are still elemental differences."

Ling Yuan: "Speaking of which, Laxus is really pitiful. He's the only Dragon Slayer Mage without a pet. That Poison Dragon in the Seven Kin of the Demon Clan at least had a snake girl."

Katarina: "All alone?"

Akame: "..."

First Prince: "Qixi has passed, stop the bullying."

Stealing a glance at the comments, a '#' symbol appeared on Laxus's forehead.

Did I start this stream for you guys to chat?

I wanted you to spam '666', didn't I?!

But unfortunately, these group members didn't grasp his intention.

And what's this about pets? He doesn't need one!

He's a tough guy, tough guys don't need pets!

"Boom!"

A lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket struck Laxus from the sky.

Immediately after, lightning surged around him.

The next moment...

The two dragons shot out simultaneously.

Bang!

Along with fragments of iron, Gajeel's pupils widened, he spat out a mouthful of slop, and was kicked flying by Laxus from the side of his head!

"Damn it!"

Gajeel took a deep breath, about to unleash his breath attack.

But the next second, Laxus appeared directly in front of him.

He grabbed Gajeel's head with one hand.

Crack!

Amidst the sound of cracking iron, a thin crack appeared on the iron armor of Gajeel's head, and a few steel fragments fell.

Bang!

Laxus, still holding Gajeel's head, smashed him heavily into the ground.

The ground cracked, creating a small pit.

"Lightning Dragon's—"

Laxus took a deep breath, facing Gajeel who was pinned to the ground.

A yellow magic circle appeared in Gajeel's terrified gaze.

"Roar!"

Boom!

Endless dust swirled...

Causing everyone fighting nearby to freeze.

The entire Phantom Lord guild trembled.

"La... Laxus."

The Thunder Legion stared dumbfounded at the figure in the dust and lightning.

Katarina: "Someone could die, releasing that move at close range!"

She had witnessed Ling Yuan and Laxus fighting before.

Akame: "Isn't fighting to the death the most basic thing?"

Ling Yuan: "No, it isn't. Gajeel is one of the protagonists, the world won't allow him to die."

Ling Yuan: "Besides, Laxus isn't even using his full power yet."

Eighth Princess: "??? He's still not using his full power?"

Ling Yuan: "Roar is just the most basic release of magic power. The truly powerful ones are the Secret Arts, also known as Dragon Slayer Secret Arts."

Ling Yuan: "And there's the Dragon Force mode, which can rival the combat power of dragons."

Katarina: "I'm stunned. I'm suddenly a little glad I transmigrated into this world. Although there are flags for destruction, compared to Laxus's world, mine is basically beginner difficulty."

Maple: "Mind blown for a whole year."

Chapter 24: Laxus's Rescue Mission

"Ling Yuan knows quite a lot."

"But what is Dragon Force? Why have I never heard of it?"

Laxus's thoughts raced through his mind.

While thinking, he kicked the unconscious Gajeel away.

"Is this all the strength Phantom Lord has?"

He looked up, his arrogant words echoing throughout the entire Phantom Lord guild.

It made everyone's hearts tremble.

Is this Fairy Tail?

Such terrifying power!

Just one person had beaten their second strongest, Gajeel, to this state.

For a moment, the Three Elements couldn't help but take a step back.

The Thunder Legion also returned to Laxus's side as if by instinct, their faces beaming with triumphant smiles, as if they themselves had defeated Gajeel.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Just as the entire Phantom Lord guild was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, crisp applause broke the silence.

"As expected of Makarov's grandson, I didn't think you'd be such a powerful Dragon Slayer Mage."

The dark, imposing gate opened, and a gaunt man with a red ponytail emerged from the darkness, clapping his hands. His aura was incredibly ominous.

He was none other than Jose Porla, the guild master of Phantom Lord and one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Upon seeing Jose, Laxus lowered his chin slightly. The Thunder Legion also faced a formidable enemy. After all, their opponent was a powerhouse on par with his grandfather.

Just then, Ling Yuan's bullet comment suddenly appeared before him.

Ling Yuan: "Laxus, see the guy with the eyepatch behind Jose?"

Following Ling Yuan's gaze, Laxus indeed saw a very sturdy, dark-skinned figure standing behind Jose.

"What about him?"

Anyone Ling Yuan specifically pointed out must be special.

Ling Yuan: "Don't make eye contact with him. He's Aria, the leader of Phantom Lord's Four Elements and the Air Element. He can drain all of an opponent's magic in an instant."

"According to the original timeline, your grandfather was directly drained of his magic by him and fell into a near-death state."

"What did you say?!" Laxus's expression changed drastically.

That old man... would be near death?!
