Thanks to Lu Chongwei and Nancy's desperate efforts to stop it, the originally swift beam of light was actually slowed down!
Below in the plaza, Faust, sitting in the cockpit of the Dragon Knight, was completely frantic upon seeing this scene.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"
Faust pounded the control panel frantically, his eyes bloodshot.
"A mere human dares to attempt to stop the kingdom's ultimate weapon! Die!"
He frantically controlled the Dragon Knight.
The Dragon Knight's enormous metal maw opened once more, and this time, Faust compressed all the magic power absorbed from within the mech.
A blue beam of magical energy, twice as thick as before, carrying a deadly threat, stealthily attacked Lu Chongwei from below, who was in mid-air!
" Lu Chongwei! Watch out below!" Nancy screamed in terror.
Lu Chongwei was currently focused on defending against the Dragon Lock Cannon and had no time to deal with the sneak attack from below.
Just as the blue beam of light was about to strike Lu Chongwei at the Lu Chongwei moment!
"Boom--!"
A dazzling golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky!
A massive Legion charged wildly down.
Laxus stood imposingly on the Legion's back, while the one piloting Legion was none other than the little girl Coco!
"Thunder Dragon's Halberd!"
Laxus furiously hurled a halberd formed from lightning!
The lightning halberd collided with the blue beam of light emitted by Faust.
"Bang!"
The two magical forces exploded violently in mid-air, turning into Light Rain.
Faust stared in shock at the Legion riding Coco, and was furious.
" Coco! You traitor! How dare you help outsiders!"
Coco gripped the reins tightly, her little face filled with unwavering determination, and she responded loudly.
"I am not a traitor! I just cannot stand by and watch you lead the kingdom to destruction! Your Majesty, you have gone mad!"
With Laxus providing cover in mid-air, Lu Chongwei no longer had any worries.
"Well done, Laxus."
Lu Chongwei gave a cold, arrogant laugh.
He took a deep breath, and his spiritual pressure, like a raging volcano, was poured entirely into Ryujin Jakka without reservation.
"Buzz--!"
The blade of Ryujin Jakka trembled violently.
The golden-red flames mysteriously turned bright white at that moment.
A terrifying heatwave swept across the entire venue.
Under this extreme heat, the red traction beam began to rapidly disintegrate and melt.
Even the sturdy metal barrel of the Dragon Lock Cannon couldn't withstand the high temperature, began to glow red and soften, and eventually burst into flames!
"It's time to end this."
Lu Chongwei coldly uttered a sentence.
He raised the Ryujin Jakka high, aiming it at the massive Dragon Lock Cannon below.
" Ryujin Jakka, Matsumi!"
"Boom--!!!"
As Lu Chongwei swung his sword down, a massive, sky-reaching white fiery tornado violently swept out!
This fiery tornado, with its devastating power, completely engulfed the entire Dragon Lock Cannon!
There was no loud explosion, only the piercing sound of burning.
The blinding white flames gradually dissipated in the sky. The Dragon Lock Cannon, which embodied countless efforts of the Kingdom of Edolas and was known as the ultimate weapon, along with half of the city wall, was completely reduced to fine ashes scattered by the Lu Chongwei under Lu Chongwei's Ryujin Jakka.
A deathly silence fell over the square.
Inside the cockpit of that massive, dragon-shaped metal mech— the Dragon Knight— Faust stared at the empty sky, his murky eyes filled with terrifying red blood vessels.
"Gone... my Dragon Lock Cannon... my Eternal Magic!"
Faust let out a piercing scream, his voice filled with intense despair and madness.
His wrinkled face was contorted and squeezed together, and his hands were pounding wildly on the control panel like a madman.
"Since you've ruined my plans, I'll make the whole world pay for it!"
Faust moved a hidden, blood-red lever.
"Buzz--!!!"
The Dragon Knight's ferocious metal maw opened to its limit, letting out a piercing mechanical the Roar. Immediately afterward, a terrifying suction force erupted from the Dragon Knight's body!
The surrounding air began to distort violently, and visible blue magical specks, like a raging tsunami, surged wildly into the Dragon Knight's mouth from all directions.
This suction force is so powerful that it not only strips away the magic power that lingers in the capital, but also forcibly strips away the supporting magic power contained within the Floating Island that drift in the sky!
"Boom!"
A dull cracking sound came from the sky, and several Floating Island that had lost their magical support began to shake violently, with rocks constantly breaking off and crashing to the ground with terrifying howls.
"Not good!"
Coco, perched atop Legion's back, her face ashen, pointed in terror at the raging Dragon Knight below, her voice trembling violently.
"His Majesty has gone completely mad! The Dragon Knight are forcibly absorbing the magic power of the entire world! If this continues, the whole of Edolas will become a wasteland, and the world will be destroyed!"
Lu Chongwei stood in mid-air, steadily sheathing the blade of Ryujin Jakka, his eyes coldly looking down at the berserk mecha below.
He turned his head to look at Laxus and the others riding on the Legion's back, his tone indifferent.
" Laxus, you all go to the Floating Island immediately to deal with the Magic Crystal and rescue everyone in the guild."
Laxus frowned, looking down at the Dragon Knight whose magical energy fluctuations had reached a terrifying level, a rare look of worry flashing in his eyes.
"You're going to stay behind and deal with him alone? This guy has absorbed such a massive amount of magic power; he's in a dangerous state. Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Lu Chongwei gave a cold, arrogant laugh, casually cracking his wrist with a sharp popping sound from his knuckles.
"Danger? That's for him. I don't even consider this piece of junk that's kept afloat by absorbing other people's magic power."
Just then, Natsu, standing on the Legion's back, clenched his fists in frustration. His eyes were fixed on the Dragon Knight below, and his body was engulfed in blazing golden flames.
"Damn it! How dare they treat everyone's magic like a toy!"
Natsu roared furiously, even pulling a strange water-attribute magic item from his pocket.
"Even if I can't use fire, I'll use my water- Dragon Slayer Magic to smash that iron lump to pieces!"
Before Natsu could jump down, Laxus roughly grabbed him by the back of his collar and yanked him back.
"Behave yourself, you idiot!"
Laxus rebuked sternly.
"Going into a battle of this level would be suicide! Since Lu Chongwei says he can handle it, then let him take care of it!"
