"These are our reinforcements!"
Natsu roared excitedly, and the flames on his hands surged another threefold.
The two sides joined forces and completely broke through the Royal Army's defenses.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the capital.
The air was distorted beyond recognition, and the ground had begun to show a translucent, reddish-brown color.
Lu Chongwei stood atop the ruins, the intense heat emanating from the Ryujin Jakka in his hand causing the surrounding buildings to spontaneously combust.
Faust sat in the cockpit of the Dragon Knight, breathing rapidly.
He could sense that the anti-magic armor of this ultimate mech was groaning in pain.
"What kind of flame is this... that even Troma Arnim couldn't withstand it?"
Faust's eyes were filled with madness.
He pulled the control lever hard, and the Dragon Knight's broad metal wings unfolded, creating a gust of wind.
"Go to hell!"
Faust swung his heavy mechanical sword wildly, the blade slicing through the void and creating a hundred-meter-long magical light blade.
Lu Chongwei remained expressionless; he didn't even try to dodge.
He steadily raised his right hand, the Ryujin Jakka held horizontally in front of his chest.
"Boom--!"
The mechanical sword slammed into the blade.
The terrifying aftershocks of the explosion spread in a ring, instantly overturning buildings in half the city.
The powerful shockwave forced Gray was far away, to conjure an ice wall in front of him.
Gray stared at the motionless figure at the epicenter of the explosion, his face twitching violently.
"Is this guy... even human?"
Gray wiped the dust off his face, his eyes filled with shock.
A collision of this magnitude would have reduced an ordinary Mage to dust long ago.
Lu Chongwei remained unmoved, not even the hem of his clothes torn, as steady as Mount Tai.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Faust immediately manipulated the Dragon Knight to leap into the air using the recoil.
He wanted to create distance and find Lu Chongwei's weakness.
"Trying to leave?"
Lu Chongwei snorted coldly.
The golden flames around him vanished instantly, replaced by a dark, profound black radiance.
The magical form can be switched rapidly.
An oppressive aura rose from Lu Chongwei's body, crushing the surrounding rubble into dust.
Lu Chongwei lowered his eyes, extended his right hand, and pointed his index and middle fingers together at the Dragon Knight in the sky.
His voice turned low, filled with the tone of judgment.
"A murky pattern seeping out, a vessel for arrogant talent."
Faust felt a chill run down his spine in the cockpit.
He pushed the control stick with all his might, trying to fly further.
But the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the Dragon Knight's massive body remained suspended in mid-air.
"Emerging, denying, numbing, staring, destroying the princess of worldly ways."
As Lu Chongwei chanted, countless black square pixel blocks appeared out of thin air.
These pixels quickly combined to form a huge, entirely black cube.
"The crawling iron princess, the clay doll that constantly mutilates itself."
Lu Chongwei spoke slowly, but every word carried immense weight.
Faust was horrified to discover that the Dragon Knight was firmly trapped by a terrifying gravity.
The alarms on the dashboard went off in a cacophony, and the mech's metal shell began to dent inwards.
"No! This is impossible! What kind of power is this?!"
Faust roared in despair, frantically unleashing all the Dragon Knight's magic.
But those blue magic beams were completely swallowed up the moment they touched the black pixel.
"Unite, rebound, extend to the ground, and acknowledge your own powerlessness!"
Lu Chongwei suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils completely black.
" Hadō #90 - Black Coffin!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The massive black cube instantly closed in, completely enveloping the entire Dragon Knight.
At this moment, light was blocked, and sound was swallowed up.
Inside the Black Coffin.
Faust looked at the complete darkness around him, and his breath stopped.
Countless jet-black swords suddenly materialized from all directions, densely packed, blocking all escape routes.
These swords exuded an aura of decay, easily piercing the Dragon Knight's prized armor.
"Help... Someone please help me..."
Faust slumped in his chair, his pupils dilated.
His proud kingdom and the Eternal Magic he longed for became meaningless at this moment.
Faust was plunged into utter despair.
The jet-black cube trembled violently in mid-air, then shattered like a broken mirror.
Countless black pixels dissipated in the air, revealing the Dragon Knight inside, which was now completely unrecognizable.
The once invincible metal dragon has now become a pile of bent and deformed scrap metal.
The anti-magic metal armor was covered with countless sword marks, each cut so deep that bone was visible, and sizzling with blackened sparks of electricity.
"Boom!"
The heavy wreckage of the mecha plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily into the center of the plaza, kicking up clouds of dust.
Lu Chongwei landed steadily on the edge of the ruins, his black trench coat not even a speck of dust on it.
He strode over to the Dragon Knight's completely deformed cockpit and casually waved his hand.
"Bang!"
The deformed hatch was violently flung off.
Lu Chongwei reached inside and pulled out Faust, who had fallen into a coma.
The once arrogant king is now deathly pale, breathing weakly, and all his former madness and ferocity are gone.
"It's finally over."
Lu Chongwei casually hoisted Faust onto his shoulder and let out a long sigh of relief.
The surviving soldiers of the Royal Army stared blankly at this scene.
Their magical spears hung limply in their hands, their eyes filled with extreme fear and despair.
"His Majesty the King... has he been defeated?"
"That ultimate weapon... it was actually destroyed by one person?"
Fear spread through the crowd; no one dared to take a step forward, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Lu Chongwei ignored these small fry and looked up towards the underground of the palace.
He could sense that a massive, unstable magical fluctuation was rapidly taking shape there.
Meanwhile, deep within the palace, in the underground space.
Mystogan stood at the center of the massive Soul Reversal Array, surrounded by stone pillars that emitted a dark purple light.
His eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he gripped several magic wands tightly in his hands.
"Reverse Soul... Activate."
Mystogan murmured softly, his voice echoing in the empty basement.
As he moved, the entire land of Edolas began to tremble slightly.
Visible blue magical light spots converged from all directions, then transformed into a thick pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
These magical powers, which originally belonged to this world, are being forcibly sent to Earth-land.
"Your Highness! What are you doing!"
Pansa Lily rushed anxiously into the basement, his eyes filled with shock as he watched the magic gradually disappear.
"If all magic were to disappear, this world would descend into chaos!"
