Crackle—boom! Snap! Fierce golden lightning exploded across Achill's body, instantly scorching him as black as an African tribesman.
Powerful magic rippled around him as Achill stood unflinching amid the layers of lightning. The intense bolts coursed over his body for several dozen seconds before slowly subsiding.
By then, the white robe he wore had failed to withstand the powerful lightning strikes and turned to black ash, drifting slowly off his body.
"Good. Very good indeed..." Bare-chested, with only his trousers still reasonably intact, Achill reached up and smoothed down the hair the lightning had made stand on end. He shook the ashes of his clothes off his body and muttered, his expression dark as a storm, "You actually made such a mess of me. Whoever you are, you bastard—"
"I will never let you get away with this!!!" A terrifying storm of magic erupted from Achill's body! His dreadful magic surged like ocean waves, casting the entire sky over Magnolia into darkness!!!
Even though enduring the magical backlash from all those Magic Crystals had consumed roughly a fifth of his magic! Even though his body had suffered moderate injuries as a result! It had also set Achill's fury ablaze!!!
"Holy shit!! The world's coming to an end!!!" Below, the ordinary citizens and Fairy Tail members who had been drawn over by Achill's sword strike all fell into a panic!
Earlier, when the Fairy Tail members saw Achill dare to withstand every Magic Crystal by himself, they had merely thought he was a monster! An absolute, utterly insane monster!!
But now, when they saw the magic he unleashed completely blot out the sky above Magnolia, they were terrified! Their ordinary shock and astonishment instantly became a deep, uncontrollable fear of power too overwhelming to oppose!! What the hell kind of monster
