Fierce Battle Against the Dark Magic Group (2)

Because of the demon's appearance, Allen and the Black Robed Figures' battle was forced to a halt. Allen rushed over to check on Laxus's condition. The Black Robed Figures didn't stop him, merely standing there and laughing triumphantly, "The great Theodore has descended. This is just the beginning; the entire world will ultimately belong to the great Lord Zeref!!!"

Allen didn't have time to pay attention to the Black Robed Figures' words. By the time he reached the altar, Laxus had already stood up. His complexion was a bit pale, but his eyes remained resolute. He shouted to the rushing Allen, "Big brother, don't worry, I'm fine! I just slipped up earlier, but... this demon might actually be a bit tricky." After rushing over and confirming that Laxus was indeed unharmed, Allen's taut heart finally relaxed a little.

After catching his breath, Allen slowly raised his head, casting a solemn gaze towards the horrifying demon not far away.

Theodore was tall, exuding a strong aura of evil. Most striking was its enormous head, which took up nearly a third of its entire body! Its forehead was unusually broad, and its head sported a pair of backward-curving, gleaming sharp horns, like two blades capable of easily tearing anything apart. As for its eyes, the entire eye sockets were a deep blood-red, devoid of pupils. It felt as if an endless abyss could be seen within them.

Looking down, its limbs were thick and sturdy, its entire body covered in hard scales. The tips of its fingers and toes bore sharp claws. A pair of massive wings grew from its back, covered in barbs. Just standing still and flapping them gently stirred up clouds of dust. Most notable was the giant bone hammer at the end of its tail. Judging by the sound of its swing, it was no simple weapon; anyone with even slightly lower defense would likely not withstand a single blow.

At this moment, Theodore also noticed Allen and Laxus before it. Its voice was deep and hoarse as it looked at the two with a sinister grin, "Heh heh heh, the magic power of you two little brats looks quite delicious. Are you ready to face death?!"

The demon was indeed synonymous with cunning. As soon as it finished speaking, it lunged towards Allen and Laxus.

The two had raised their vigilance to the highest level, so the instant the demon moved, both reacted swiftly and dodged. They then launched their counterattack towards Theodore.

Allen firmly aimed Gram at Theodore ahead of him. Magic Power surged like a turbulent tide, continuously gathering on the shaft of Gram, causing the entire spear to emit a dazzling, brilliant light. However, due to the time constraint, Allen didn't have time for further charging preparations. Without hesitation, he controlled Gram and thrust it forward fiercely.

"Royal Spear Strike!"

In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the tip of Gram like an arrow loosed from a bow, hurtling towards Theodore with astonishing speed. At the same moment, Laxus, standing on the other side, launched a fierce counterattack without showing any weakness.

He slightly opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then unleashed it with all his might: "Roar of the Thunder Dragon!" Immediately, a colossal beam of lightning, as majestic as a dragon emerging from the sea, erupted from Laxus's mouth, charging towards Theodore with destructive force.

BOOM!!!

Allen and Laxus's attacks struck Theodore's body almost simultaneously with tremendous force. The powerful energies contained within collided and intertwined, erupting into an extremely violent storm of energy.

Theodore clearly had not anticipated that the attacks launched by these seemingly insignificant "little bugs" would possess such terrifying power. Under the impact of this wild and unparalleled force, its once enormous body was as fragile as paper, instantly pierced through by the combined assault of the two. Simultaneously, Theodore's body, heavy as a mountain, was sent flying dozens of meters away by the immense impact force. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked open, dust billowed, and the sky was obscured.

The Black Robed Figures in the distance were stunned. They couldn't believe that the legendary Theodore was so easily defeated. Their eyes darted around; they knew that, given the situation, they had to run. Staying would only lead to capture by Allen and Laxus. So, when Allen and Laxus weren't paying attention, the Black Robed Figures quietly slipped away.

As the Black Robed Figures had expected, Allen and Laxus were indeed not paying attention to them at this moment. Both were looking with grim expressions at the spot where Theodore had fallen. Although the area was filled with smoke, they both knew that such an attack was insufficient to defeat the demon created by the legendary Zeref.

As expected, not long after, an enraged roar echoed from within the dense smoke: "You group of ignorant fools, how dare you enrage me so much, you're simply asking for death! Die for me!!!" Immediately after, a fierce shout was heard—"Demon's Breath!"

The next second, a terrifying beam of light, carrying a destructive aura, suddenly shot out from the rolling smoke.

However, Allen and Laxus, who were already prepared and on high alert, reacted with extreme speed. Both of them nimbly dodged the attack.

The Demon's Breath, like a wild horse that had broken its reins, sped straight ahead, piercing through the incredibly solid wall of the base. Not only that, but even the magic circle on the outer perimeter, which served for concealment, was also pierced through with a crack under the impact of this powerful force. As a result, the entire magic circle instantly lost its effectiveness, and the base, which had been hidden within, was exposed without any cover.

Before this, the battle had already taken a toll on the base, making it somewhat unstable. Now, after suffering another violent attack, the ceiling of the base finally couldn't hold on and began to fall in large chunks.

Facing this situation, Allen and Laxus didn't pay much attention, as Theodore, with a speed and agility completely unbefitting its massive body, attacked them.

"Demon Ice Blade!"

The claws on Theodore's fingers were now coated with a silvery-white light, leaving trails of ice crystals in the air.

All ten claws attacked the two with extreme speed. Allen could still handle it, but Laxus on the side was in some danger. His physical strength was far too different from Theodore's, so he could only keep dodging. When he couldn't dodge anymore, he would resist the attacks under the enhancement of the Thunder Dragon Armor.

Seeing Laxus on the verge of injury several times, Allen placed Aegis in front of him and charged directly at Theodore.

Theodore was pushed back a few steps by this sudden impact. Allen seized this opportunity to activate his Full Body Reception magic.
