A sudden punch slammed upward into the birdman's jaw, the force behind it snapping Fukuro's gaping beak shut.
Flames roared, and the explosive magic swallowed Fukuro in an instant.
By the time Taurus came to his senses, their assailant was already sprawled on the ground, smoke rising from his body and his eyes rolled back. Extreme Fire Blast had knocked him unconscious.
The battle was over in a single blow.
What a terrifying human.
Taurus looked at the white-haired boy who had suddenly appeared and felt a little embarrassed.
He was, after all, the strongest of the twelve Golden Celestial Spirits, Taurus. Yet his fight with Fukuro had nearly ended in disaster. What a disgrace to the herd.
Noah casually removed the Magic Feather wings and Magic Rocket from Fukuro. The wings could be used to fly, and that alone meant Noah couldn't possibly leave them behind.
As for the Magic Rocket, its power left something to be desired, but it would make a pretty good firework.
"Thank you, Noah. If you hadn't stepped in, Fukuro would definitely have eaten Taurus." Lucy landed alongside Cheese and looked at Noah gratefully.
Noah waved a hand. "That birdman's magic isn't that powerful. As long as you react quickly, you can dodge it easily."
"But you, Lucy, should really focus on training."
According to legend, every Celestial Spirit of the Zodiac Twelve had the strength of an S-Class Mage.
But since they were summoned from the Celestial Spirit World into the human world, their strength was limited by the magic power of the Celestial Spirit Mage they had contracted with.
As a result, although the Golden Celestial Spirits were powerful, they had almost never appeared at their full strength.
Lucy was no exception. Taurus, whom she had summoned, couldn't unleash his true power.
