Jellal had no idea where Seiya had learned so many spells, even mastering Lost Magic such as Time Magic and Space Magic.
But one thing was perfectly clear to him: just as Seiya had said, even after reclaiming Thought Body Zeref, he was still no match for Seiya.
Having mastered Lost Magic like Time Magic and Space Magic, Seiya was practically invincible.
The speed advantage offered by Jellal's Celestial Magic was utterly useless before him.
But after looking up at the sky and calculating the time, Jellal understood that he did not necessarily need to defeat Seiya.
As long as Magic-Enlightenment Power descended, the Tower of Heaven on the island would finish charging. Then, all he had to do was place a sacrifice into the Magic Crystal, and Zeref, the progenitor of Black Magic, could be revived.
Once Zeref was revived, no matter how strong Seiya was, could he possibly defeat someone of that legendary caliber?
"Still willing to fight? Looks like that last punch wasn't enough to knock some sense into you.
"In that case, we can only keep fighting. Just so happens I haven't worked all my anger out yet.
"Don't think a beating will be enough to settle what you've done to Erza, Mira, Anna, and the others over the years."
After merging with Thought Body Zeref earlier, Jellal had been brimming with confidence, intending to teach Seiya a lesson and make up for the beating he had taken before.
But the brutal truth told him that even with his Thought Projection returned, he was still no match for Seiya. So now, he intended to change his strategy.
There was no point stubbornly insisting on deciding victory or defeat with Seiya. He could not gain even the slightest advantage and would only keep getting beaten up.
