Leveling with Laxus

After the commotion subsided, Thunder Valley quieted down slightly, and Laxus planned to go to the area within Thunder Valley where the lightning was most concentrated to absorb it.

The lightning there is of high quality and excellent grade; once inhaled, it doesn't require further refining.

With nothing to do, Hughes followed behind him, the two of them walking one in front and the other behind, exchanging a few words every now and then.

As for Hughes impersonating Jose to trick him, Laxus decided to put it aside for the time being.

There's plenty of time; he'll find a chance to get his revenge eventually.

"How did you become Jose?" Laxus, who was walking ahead, asked curiously.

When he fought Hughes just now, he didn't sense any trace of magic flow on Hughes, so it shouldn't be a transformation spell.

Thinking this through, Laxus suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening as if he had encountered a ghost!

He seemed to have never sensed Hughes's magic, whether it was in normal times, when Hughes used his fire abilities, or when Hughes used those strange physical techniques.

There was no sign of magical fluctuation within this guy's body; he was as calm as someone without magic.

That's impossible! How did Hughes manage to use these abilities? Could it be like Mystogan, relying on magical artifacts?

Unable to understand, Laxus turned around and stared intently at Hughes.

Hughes, who was picking his nose, blinked, looked dazed for a moment, then pulled his finger out of his nose, looking puzzled. "Want some?"

Laxus smirked, ashamed to associate with such filthy people. "No need, you can keep it and lick it yourself!"

Hughes rolled his eyes. "If you're not going to eat, then why are you staring at me like that!"

"Are you a non-magician?" Laxus asked bluntly.

Hughes nodded; it wasn't a secret.

Not only did the non-magician know about him, but Makarov, Mira, Porlyusica also knew that he came from another world.

Mira had secretly told him this a few days ago; otherwise, Hughes would have thought no one knew!

Visitors from another world, and those without magic are not uncommon in the Fairy Tail world. Since so many people know about it, Hughes has no intention of hiding it.

Hughes was somewhat surprised by Laxus's shock; the guy seemed even more curious about him now, his eyes practically glowing like light bulbs.

I don't know if it's direct current or alternating current...

"I'm telling you, non-magicians aren't a rare species. Go to the streets of Magnolia Town and pick up ten people at random, eight or nine of them will be non-magicians. Why are you so curious!" Hughes sighed, then shoved Laxus away as he approached.

Laxus staggered back two steps, then moved closer. "Non-magic users are common, but I've never heard of one as strong as you."

"Are you like Mystogan, relying on magical artifacts to unleash such powerful flames?"

"But what's with this powerful physique? Those without magic power don't have strong physiques at all!"

At this moment, in Hughes's mind, Laxus was no different from Lisanna; both were equally talkative and annoying.

"Don't force me to shut you up passively, Laxus!" Hughes said helplessly, flicking his wrist as he spoke, making a whooshing sound.

"What you need to ask, the president and Granny Porlyusica both know. You can go ask them when you have time."

Now, hurry up and absorb the lightning within Thunder Valley. The sooner I break through, the sooner I can get back. I have other things to do!

Laxus's curiosity subsided slightly. Hughes probably wouldn't lie to him. Since the old man knew about Hughes, things would be easier; he could just go back and ask.

Now, he still has a question: why does Hughes ' physique keep getting stronger from time to time, as if there are no bottlenecks? This doesn't make sense in magic.

If I could discover even the slightest pattern from Hughes and apply it to myself, my strength would definitely experience a major breakthrough.

Laxus knew that what limited him from going any further was never magic, spells, or temperament; it was his physical attributes.

From birth, he possessed immense magical power within him. This power was so strong that his body could not withstand it, resulting in him being weak and sickly.

If it weren't for his Pops obtaining the Lightning Dragon Slayer Crystal Lightning Dragon Slayer Crystal transplanting it into his body to suppress the immense magical power within him, he would have died long ago.

Laxus's eyes shone with hope as he excitedly patted Hughes on the shoulder and recounted his situation to Hughes in detail.

Hughes was also taken aback after hearing this. He had forgotten about this. Laxus's strength did not rely entirely on the Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. This guy was also a genius, unlike Mira and Erza who were geniuses who Awakening their own magic.

In the entire Fairy Tail world, there is only one genius like Laxus: Ultear.

This is a terrifying woman who makes the whole world owe her a minute!

Laxus remember watching anime in a hospital before, and I saw someone analyze that the Lightning Dragon Slayer Crystal allowed Laxus to survive by suppressing the enormous magical power within him.

But this greatly diminished Laxus's magical talent.

However, if Hughes remembered correctly, the Lightning Dragon Slayer Crystal within Laxus was incomplete. Several years later, on the Guiltina Continent, he absorbed the Thunder Dragon King's soul and the remaining fragments of the Dragon Crystal, finally unleashing his full magical talent.

The reason he possessed such a powerful physique was due to the system, something he couldn't help Laxus with.

Thinking of this, Hughes shook his head at Laxus: "The reason why my physique sometimes gets stronger is complicated. I can't explain it myself, and even the old man couldn't figure it out after taking a look a few times."

At this point, Hughes paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I do know a place that can solve your problem, but your current strength isn't enough to absorb that stuff. Cultivate for a few more years, and I'll take you there."

No joke, with Laxus's current strength, it would be too easy for him to run into trouble on the Guiltina Continent.

Laxus's brow furrowed slightly. "You're not joking with me this time?"

"No, to be honest, with my current strength, I can't go to that place," Hughes said seriously.

The Guiltina Continent is overrun with monsters. Not to mention the five dragons that claim to be no less powerful than the Black Dragon, the group of Dragon Slayer who can transform into their second stage are strong enough to be compared with the "Ten Wizard Saints" of Ishgar.

No, perhaps even slightly stronger than the later "Ten Wizard Saints".

The thought that Natsu could defeat even Black Dragon, and that any random mage on the Guiltina Continent could easily defeat him, gave Hughes a headache.

Is it that the audio service expired and wasn't renewed, or is the Guiltina Continent truly terrifying...?

Hughes sighed inwardly and patted Laxus on the shoulder, "The world is vast, and there are many stronger than Gildarts and me. In a few years, S-Class Mage will be commonplace. Take advantage of these relatively stable years and hurry up and become stronger!"
