Mistgun was amazed. "Impressive. Magic on the scale of a natural disaster is already forbidden. It is powerful enough to destroy an entire city!"
"You're an S-Class Mage, aren't you?"
"Not yet. The guild master says I'm still too inexperienced!"
"Huh? Even someone at your level doesn't count?"
Was Fairy Tail in this world really that powerful?
Mistgun fell into deep thought!
"Damn it!"
As the tornado neared the towering building, a middle-aged man flew out from above.
"You will not destroy the heart's blood of my many years!"
"Wow, looks like we've drawn out the Boss!"
"Hmph!"
The man hovered in midair and extended his hand, releasing a thread that reached into the tornado. Then something astonishing happened!
"Take it back!"
The tornado actually changed direction and swept toward the two of them!
Yun Feiyang looked completely baffled. "He controlled my magic? How did he do that?"
"Uh... rather than that, shouldn't you stop it first?"
"I can't!"
"Huh?"
"I've already lost control of it!"
As the tornado bore down on them, Mistgun's face turned green!
"Five-layered Magic Array..."
"I can only make it disappear!"
Yun Feiyang thrust his hand into the tornado. In the blink of an eye, the massive, roaring tornado turned into a breeze and vanished.
Mistgun let out a sigh of relief. "You nearly scared me to death!"
Yun Feiyang looked up and said, "I don't know how you controlled my magic, but if you want to play with wind in front of me, you're not qualified!"
"Not bad. You have some skill!"
The middle-aged man landed before them. "But you should never have come to provoke me!"
"Oh, spare me. Every Boss is brimming with confidence before he loses. You will be no exception!"
"Let me see what you're made of!"
Wind God's Roar!
Yun Feiyang opened his mouth and spat out a black whirlwind that spun as it slammed toward the middle-aged man!
"Useless!"
The middle-aged man repeated the same trick, firing another magical thread and turning Wind God's Roar against him.
He raised a hand and dispersed the incoming whirlwind, causing Yun Feiyang to frown.
"You can control other people's magic. Looks like your magic is quite high-level!"
"What sharp observation. I don't mind telling you—this is an inherited form of Ancient Magic."
In other words, Lost Magic!
The middle-aged man invited him, "kid, you're quite capable. How about working for me? I can give you everything in the world!"
"Everything? Really?"
"Of course. Anything you want!"
"Sure! I want all the wealth in the world, all the beauties, and I want to be the lord of this continent. Give them to me!"
"Kid, you're making a fool of me!"
The middle-aged man roared, "Who wouldn't want all those things?"
"Tch. If you don't have the ability, stop acting tough. A rat hiding in the shadows like you wants to recruit me? Keep dreaming!"
With the Demonic Blade Blood Spirit in hand, Yun Feiyang declared proudly, "What I'm best at is cleaning up Rats!"
Magic doesn't work on you, right? Fine, then I won't use magic!
"Hehe... You should worry about yourself first!"
Mist Illusion Netherworld!
Mistgun shouted from the side, and a Magic Array appeared above Yun Feiyang's head, frightening him into quickly dodging aside.
"Have you lost your mind? Why are you attacking me?"
Hourai Sei!
As though he had not heard him, Mistgun combined the attacks of three Magic Staffs into one, forming another whirlwind that came sweeping toward Yun Feiyang.
Yun Feiyang dodged again. "Hey! Have you gone crazy?"
"Stop shouting. He won't respond to you!"
The middle-aged man chuckled leisurely. "Being killed by your own companion must feel wonderful!"
"It was you!"
"You can even control humans!"
Given Mistgun's strange state and the middle-aged man's earlier actions, that was the only explanation!
"So you noticed already?"
"That's right. My magic is called Arc of Control. It can control everything in the world, whether dead things or living things!"
The middle-aged man spread his arms and laughed loudly. "With this ability, I am the ruler of the world!"
"You're so amazing, so why don't you just fly into the sky?"
Yun Feiyang flashed behind the middle-aged man and slashed down with his blade!
"Useless. I can control myriad things in the world, including invisible air!"
Air gathered behind him, forming a Wind Wall!
"I told you already. If you want to play with wind in front of me, you're not qualified!"
The Wind Wall melted like snowflakes upon meeting the blade. Yun Feiyang slashed the middle-aged man across the back, tearing open a wound!
Just as he wanted to press his advantage, Mistgun's attack arrived, forcing him to evade.
"This unlucky kid is supposed to be a strongest candidate, yet he was controlled by the enemy so easily!"
"Kid, that hurt!"
"Hm?"
The middle-aged man swayed for a moment before quickly recovering.
"Controlling blood? Not bad, but unfortunately, you ran into me!"
The middle-aged man had not only broken Mirage's follow-up move, but the wound on his back was also healing rapidly. Within just a few seconds, it vanished completely.
"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't that cheating a little too obviously?"
"Surprised? I told you, I can control everything in the world. Naturally, that includes my own body."
"That's exactly why I said you're cheating! Your magic is seriously ridiculous!"
The middle-aged man said proudly, "Do you feel powerless now? This is the me who controls everything!"
"Kid, I'll give you one more chance. Swear loyalty to me!"
Yun Feiyang shook his head. "Rather than that, what I care about is this: if you're really so omnipotent, why do you still need the R System?"
The middle-aged man's eyes dimmed, and he said helplessly, "Though I can control myriad things, I cannot bring the dead back through resurrection. Can you understand that pain?"
"Family? A lover? A friend?"
"Forget it. Whichever it is, you are my enemy now, and you must be eliminated!"
Yun Feiyang assumed a stance to draw his blade!
"Still refusing to give up? I was merely careless before. Now, you will never hurt me again!"
"How would we know without trying?"
"Mumei Shinpū-ryū Secret Technique..."
Yun Feiyang swung his blade, sending more than a dozen Flood Dragons baring their fangs and claws toward the middle-aged man!
"Useless. Increasing the number will not change anything!"
More than a dozen threads shot out toward the Flood Dragons, but...
The middle-aged man's eyes widened. "How is this possible?!"
The Flood Dragons passed straight through the threads, wrapped around the middle-aged man, hoisted him into the air, and continuously sliced at him!
Azure Dragon!
As the middle-aged man fell, the dozen Flood Dragons merged into one enormous Azure Dragon and slashed down furiously!
With a thunderous boom, a massive crater was blasted into the ground. The middle-aged man lay inside it, covered in wounds!
"Do you feel it? The fury of the Dragon King!"
"Why?"
"Because the Azure Dragon is nothing more than a pure slash!"
The middle-aged man looked utterly confused!
If he did not understand this, he would die without peace!
"Still don't understand? Perhaps you really can control myriad things, including dead things, living things, air, Magic, and so on. But my slash produces a Physical Flow of gas. You can control the wind within it, but you cannot control the impact it produces, because impact is not an object!"
"How can you control something that does not exist in the first place?"
Take wind, for example. Wind was produced by the collision of Air Particles. Controlling Air Particles could indeed control wind, but the resulting flow was no longer something Air Particles could dictate. That was inertia—or rather, it involved the effect of force.
Force was the interaction between objects. It was born from objects, yet transcended them as well!
