Sky-Splitting Rising Dragon Strike!
This is a new skill that Bai Yu recently acquired from Gajeel.
This is also Bai Yu's fastest and strongest method of attack.
He charged forward like a meteor, then unleashed a backhand Upward Slash that instantly Crush all of the enemy's defenses.
It could be said that the speed of this strike was somewhat unexpected, even for Bai Yu.
Not to mention Gajeel and the others.
Boom!
Gajeel was sent flying into the air.
The golden shockwave, like a bolt of lightning, shot straight up into the sky above the Phantom Lord Guild Hall.
The immense impact gave one a feeling of utter devastation.
Everything along the way was torn apart.
The final, earth-shattering explosion shattered the roof.
Gajeel, who was forcefully thrown out, crashed into seven or eight members of the Phantom Lord like a cannonball, smashing through a wall and flying out of the guild.
Amidst the splattering blood from the tent, Gajeel, coughing up blood and rolling his eyes, had a horrifying wound across his chest.
It's so intense it makes your pupils contract and your eyes feel like they're about to burst.
Disbelief was written all over everyone's faces.
Boom!
Ceiling fragments flew everywhere, swept across the entire area by the blast wave.
Many of the Phantom Lord who couldn't dodge in time were thrown out.
The huge guild hall was completely thrown into chaos.
Jose and Aria, who had just patted their chests and vouched for each other with their heads, suddenly froze, wishing they could slap themselves a few times.
The other party clearly said nothing was wrong, so why don't they believe it?
He even encouraged Gajeel to go up and get himself killed.
The thought that Gajeel, the ace of the Phantom Lord, would be instantly killed with a single strike was unbearable.
For the Phantom Lord in their current situation, this is tantamount to cutting off their own arm.
Seeing the complete chaos, Jose's expression twisted to the extreme, and he the Roar anger.
" The Death Breath!"
Boom!
The dark magic dormant within Jose exploded like a raging tide.
It swept outwards rapidly like a hurricane.
The guild building, already weakened by the attack, was in grave danger.
The next moment, a deafening crash was heard, and the entire roof collapsed.
This indiscriminate attack tactic immediately threw everyone into chaos, and they all quickly fled the area.
As Erza and the others steadied themselves outside, dark shadows rapidly appeared from all directions.
At the same time, some people who were originally Phantom Lord but were injured in the process of avoiding them immediately let out a pitiful scream the moment they touched these black shadows.
The person deflated rapidly like a balloon, eventually turning into a skin and bones corpse.
That dark shadow, which had absorbed life force, swelled up considerably in an instant thanks to this series of bizarre maneuvers.
The next moment, like cells rapidly dividing, clusters of black shadows split off, directly transforming into humanoid Phantom Soldiers.
The number is so large that there are easily over a thousand.
Meanwhile, as the vitality of the surrounding plants, animals, and fish in the river is rapidly absorbed, the number of these Phantom Soldiers is increasing rapidly.
As soon as the dozens of Phantom Soldiers appeared, they rushed towards Erza and the others like a swarm of bees.
Seeing the massive, dark mass of people surge forward, Makarov's expression changed, and he urgently warned them.
"Be careful, don't let these Phantom Soldiers get close. They can drain your life force. The only way to break this cursed magic is to take down Jose."
" Erza, Natsu, Gray, cover me! I'm going to deal with Jose. I'll show him that the wrath that destroys the guild isn't scary; what's scary is that he actually laid a hand on my family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the immense magical power unique to the Ten Wizard Saints within Makarov's body was also unleashed in a frenzy.
The resulting shockwave destroyed dozens of Phantom Soldiers who were rushing towards them.
At the same time, Erza and the other two who had been named immediately stepped out from the crowd, intending to clear a path for Makarov.
However, just as they moved, four figures also emerged from the ruins of the Phantom Lord's guild; they were none other than the Element 4 led by Aria.
" Makarov, if you want to defeat me, you'll have to get past two more hurdles. Don't forget my Phantom Lord, and the existence of the Element 4."
Jose unfurled a pair of enormous bat wings made of Black Dark Magic from his back and grinned menacingly.
This time, Bai Yu truly disrupted their plans.
However, Laxus, whom he considered a variable, Gildarts, and even the most mysterious S-Class Mage Mystogan, did not appear.
That's a pleasant surprise.
Seeing Jose standing behind the Element 4 and thousands of Phantom Soldiers, Erza and the others couldn't help but look grim.
These Phantom Soldiers give the impression of being infinitely replicated.
If they cannot defeat Jose quickly, they will likely be embroiled in an endless battle.
Moreover, the existence of the Element 4 made them feel restricted.
Of course, if Fairy Tail had one more top-tier fighter, the current situation would definitely not be so passive.
"What's wrong? Did you overlook me? I can bet again!"
Bai Yu burst out of the ruins with a smile, carrying the unconscious Gajeel on his shoulder, and casually tossed him to the ground in full view of everyone.
The excruciating pain jolted Gajeel, who had been unconscious, awake.
Unfortunately, before he could react, seven or eight lurking Phantom Soldiers on the ground pounced on Gajeel like shadows.
Gajeel's expression changed drastically, but unfortunately, he couldn't control his body at all and could only shout urgently.
" Jose, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
"Hmph, since you lost, you were already prepared to become a stepping stone for the victor. As long as I kill Makarov, destroy Fairy Tail, and become the strongest mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, I can have as many of you as I want!"
Jose the Roar menacingly.
This way of doing things has always been the ironclad rule of the Phantom Lord: the survival of the fittest.
Gajeel's face Kotetsu. As he stared at the rapidly enlarging Phantom Soldiers in his pupils, an ancient katana had already blocked his way.
Bang!
With a single strike, seven or eight Phantom Soldiers were instantly shredded like paper.
The dissipated dark magic transformed into a hurricane that swept away the surroundings.
Seeing Gajeel's surprised expression, Bai Yu smiled, took out a bottle of wine, and took a swig.
"Don't forget, this is my trophy. How can I let you destroy it so easily?"
"If you're going to kill my people, then kill me first!"
"However, let me warn you, I'm quite difficult to kill!"
