Chapter 673 Seiya: You know nothing about power!
"Let's not worry about the others for now. It seems this guy is probably the strongest mage in Fairy Tail."

If we let him escape, it will definitely affect our subsequent plans. We can let Gajeel deal with the small fry. Right now, we must join forces to take this guy down first.

Sadness...it's truly heartbreaking...

As the leader of the four elements, Aria spoke of her sorrow with tears in her eyes while issuing orders to Juvia and the others.

"We can't let that guy get close; his martial arts skills are ridiculously high."

Now that he has no magic, if we just exhaust his strength, he'll be completely at our mercy.

Although it was only a brief exchange before, Usagi-maru had already deeply realized just how outrageous Seiya's physical abilities were as a mage!
Of the four elements, he is the most skilled in close combat, but even he couldn't last more than a few rounds against Seiya. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to use magic before being killed.

Upon hearing Rabbit Maru's reminder, the Four Elements immediately retreated and, after creating a safe distance from Seiya, each used ranged attack magic.

"Airspace - Absolute!"

"Water-Shaping Magic: Water Slash!"

"Plaster Sonata!"

"Song of Azure Flame!"

As air bullets, water jets, rock spikes, and fire pillars simultaneously hurtled towards Seiya, Seiya, unable to use magic, did not choose to dodge the attacks. Instead, he stomped his foot hard on the ground.

"boom------!"

And it was this forceful stomp that caused the four elements present to feel the ground beneath their feet shake violently.

And soon, when they saw what was happening in front of them, they were stunned into silence.

As Seiya stomped his foot forcefully on the ground, the powerful impact instantly created spiderweb-like cracks in the ground beneath his feet, just like a block of tofu.

Due to the pressure from external forces, the rocks, resembling jelly, rose up in front of Seiya in massive boulders.

These jagged, towering rocks formed the best natural barrier for Seiya, protecting him from the magic used by the four elements.

The giant rock was shattered by the magic of the four elements, and a large amount of sand and dust instantly filled the surrounding area.

Just as the four elements were still wondering if Seiya had already perished in the rubble, Thor, the earth element among them, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Aria, watch out, he's after you!"

Almost at the same time that Thor finished speaking, Seiya, taking advantage of the sandstorm that swept up around him to obscure his vision, appeared behind Aria like a ghost in the next second without warning.

“Dang——————!”

As Seiya's longsword fell, Usagi-maru, the strongest in physical combat among the four elements, reacted almost instantly after Thor's reminder, rushing behind Aria and attempting to block Seiya's slash with his longsword held horizontally.

Unfortunately, Seiya, who previously wielded the sword with one hand, was able to easily withstand Usagi-maru's full-force slash.

This is enough to show that, without using magic or spells, one's physical abilities are sufficient to easily crush them.

This time, he swung the sword with both hands, so the powerful force of the strike was something that Usagi-maru simply couldn't withstand head-on.

The moment the longswords clashed, terrifying force was transmitted directly through the blades to Rabbit Maru's entire body. In just an instant, Rabbit Maru, whose internal organs were injured by the impact, gushed out a mouthful of blood.

Under the immense impact, not only was Tsutsumi injured by the slash, but Aria, who was originally behind him, was also sent flying backward along with Tsutsumi.

Aria's air elemental spatial magic is very powerful; even a "Ten Wizard Saints" like Makarov would have his magic power completely drained if he were ambushed and attacked.

However, the more powerful the magic, the more limitations it also has.

If Aria wants to extract the magic power of another person, she either needs to touch the other person directly with her body and use the magic "Void Annihilation" to extract the magic power of the other person while their body is unable to move.

Alternatively, one can rely on a pre-set magic circle to use the spell "Void Annihilation".

"Void Annihilation" is an enhanced version of "Void Annihilation". It can not only extract the magic power of multiple people at the same time, but also does not require direct contact with the other party.

However, he also has weaknesses. His magic power can only be drawn within the range of Aria's magic circle, and he himself cannot move over a large area.

That's why Aria had Juvia use water magic to stop Erza and the others when they tried to run away.

Because she was knocked away by the flying bunny, Aria's magic "Sky Domain Annihilation" could no longer be maintained as the magic circle on the ground shattered.

With the destruction of the "Void Annihilation" magic circle, Seiya could feel that the magic power within his body was no longer being lost and was beginning to recover at an astonishing speed.

"In the end, as a mage, you still need to use magic to fight. What kind of mage are you if you only rely on physical skills and swordsmanship?"

The heavily injured Usagi, the tearful Aria, and Juvia, whose face already showed a hint of fear, all looked solemn when they heard what Seiya said.

Previously, even with Seiya's magic power and spells sealed, they were still able to suppress them. Now that the magic circle that draws magic power has been destroyed, do they really still have a chance of winning against Seiya, who can use magic?
"Don't worry, he's just bluffing! Although Aria's 'Airspace Annihilation' has been destroyed, he can now unleash his full power without any restrictions."

He'd been inside the magic circle for so long; his magic power must have been completely depleted. Restoring it to a usable fighting state wouldn't be a quick process.

Hearing Thor's words, the other members of the Four Elements rallied once again.

That's right. Even if the magic circle is gone, Seiya is now in a state of depleted magic power, not much different from before.

On their side, after Aria regained her mobility, they actually had more room to maneuver.

"So you're Thor, one of the four elements? I heard that besides being good at earth magic, you also have the ability to read minds."

When the sandstorm made it impossible to see, it was because you read my thoughts that you knew I was going to make a move against Aria, right?
"So why don't you try again and listen to what I really think?"

Even if Seiya hadn't said anything, Thor was already planning to do it anyway. But quickly, after hearing Seiya's inner thoughts, a look of horror crossed his face as he exclaimed, "Impossible... This is simply impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible. The speed at which magic power recovers depends on the size of the mage's own base magic power."

For example, if our magic recovery speed is one percent every ten minutes, then it will take about a day for our magic to recover to its full value.

But do you think that one percent of your magic power is the same as one percent of mine?

"Dealing with someone like you, even restoring just one percent of my magic power would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken or a dog. You know absolutely nothing about true power!"
