The vast forest fell into an inexplicable, deathly silence.
All eyes turned to Bai Yu.
Whether it was Zoldeo, Zancrow, or even the usually calm and collected Bluenote, their faces were all frosty.
This scene of near-empty buildings was like a silent slap across their faces.
"Fine, what an arrogant brat! Are you planning to keep your word and fulfill what Ultear told us?"
Hades' face darkened, and he said angrily.
"However, I regret to inform you that you will pay with your life for doing this."
"But rest assured, given your arrogance, I will let you live a little longer, so you can witness firsthand how those so-called partners who trust you are killed one by one."
"Alright, I've said my piece. Now I'll give you one minute to leave your last words."
The chilling words carried an undeniable killing intent.
Hades ' harsh words clearly touched a nerve with Zoldeo and the others.
However, despite all this, Bai Yu still finished the last sip of his drink.
The moment she looked up, her eyes, as deep as the starry sky, were instantly filled with golden light.
An indescribable aura of terror emanated from Bai Yu.
Everyone present felt a strange sense of insignificance the moment they met Bai Yu's golden eyes.
The feeling was like gazing into the eyes of God.
The Domain of God!
Faced with the appearance of the Grimoire Heart and the Black Dragon King Acnologia, Bai Yu clearly intended to end the battle quickly.
At least in Bai Yu's guess, the Black Dragon King Acnologia is probably the key to completing the dungeon.
The appearance of the Grimoire Heart was the key to Bai Yu's renewed strength.
Most importantly, Bai Yu has been in the Fairy Tail world for eight or nine days, while in the Sea King world, who knows how much time has passed.
If the delay goes on for too long, something irreparable may happen.
This is definitely not what Bai Yu wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu's right hand was already on the katana at his waist.
"What... what is this aura? Quickly, stop him!"
Hades suddenly awoke with a start, an indescribable sense of terror spreading down his spine.
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Zoldeo, tensed up, determined to eliminate this unknown source of terror as quickly as possible.
However, just as this thought began to form in their minds, Bai Yu's voice rang out again.
"No need. Has no one told you that talking too much can lead to death?"
"You have all been killed."
"Ultimate Divine Swordsmanship: Sky-Piercing Slash!"
Buzz!
Bai Yu slightly drew his katana from its sheath before sheathing it again.
The faint clanging sound of the knife was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
The sound echoed all around, giving a sense of enduring resonance.
Bai Yu's words sounded like those of an idiot.
Hades and the others were taken aback at first, and were about to burst into unrestrained laughter.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
A series of shattering sounds echoed through the forest within a kilometer radius.
One by one, towering trees were cut down in half, no one knows when.
The smooth slashing edge was still splattered with streaks of residual blade energy.
In an instant, within a radius of a thousand meters, everything except the enormous Tenrou Tree was cut in half.
The vast woodland was transformed into a vacuum.
The Grimoire Heart and the others, standing a dozen meters away, stared at the bizarre scene before them, their expressions frozen.
His face was filled with disbelief.
If Bai Yu had uttered those crazy words just moments before, they would never have believed it.
However, now, just touching the hilt of the sword can turn everything within a radius of a thousand meters into a vacuum.
This nightmarish scene made them unable to help but look down at their own bodies.
Pfft! Pfft!
A series of explosions rang out without warning.
Amidst the splattering blood, what came into view were the gruesome, gaping wounds that had erupted from their bodies.
The horrifying slash marks and the deep, penetrating wounds brought excruciating pain that instantly engulfed their entire bodies.
In an instant, screams echoed throughout the entire forest.
Hades, along with the other Seven Kin of Purgatory Zoldeo, instantly became covered in blood and collapsed in pools of blood.
If this scene were witnessed by an outsider, they would definitely want to slap themselves in the face.
An extremely absurd idea even sprouted in his mind.
Is this a fake Grimoire Heart?
"Me? How come we're alright?"
Ultear couldn't help but shudder. After looking down several times, she still saw no sign of blood splattering, which was clearly beyond her expectations.
Compared to her, Jellal, standing beside her, was no exception.
"Don't worry, I deliberately went around you just now and didn't kill you. Consider it payment for bringing me a message."
Bai Yu dispelled his divine aura and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, let's leave quickly. This is a dangerous place; I still need to deal with Acnologia."
Ultear was stunned, never expecting that Bai Yu would show him mercy for this very reason.
However, faced with Bai Yu's well-intentioned reminder, whether it was Ultear, Jellal, or even Hades, who was lying in a pool of blood and on the verge of death, the thing that mattered most to them at this moment was the question that Bai Yu had casually mentioned earlier.
He's going to slay the Black Dragon King!
Hades and the others hadn't personally witnessed the scene just before Bai Yu was about to be slashed; they would never have believed that Bai Yu could utter such arrogant words to the Black Dragon King Acnologia.
However, a ridiculous idea has now taken root in their minds.
If a terrifying being were to truly face Black Dragon King Acnologia, would he really prevail?
A jumble of thoughts flashed through their minds, and all eyes were immediately fixed on Bai Yu.
However, when they saw Bai Yu extend his right hand and rub the empty space beside him, everyone was stunned for a moment.
To them, it looked as if Bai Yu was stroking someone's head.
It could be said that, looking across the battlefield, only Hades, who was rapidly healing himself with the help of the Grimoire Heart on the airship, understood what Bai Yu had just been doing.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes, trying to see clearly whether this long-lost pretty figure was real or not.
That guy was rubbing the head of the Black Mage Zeref's wife!
