Chapter 700: Who exactly is the BOSS...?

"Are you saying that you've never shown your true strength before?"

After merging with the thought entity Zirekin, Jellal's magical power and aura surged instantly, and even the injuries on his face healed considerably as a result.

However, when Gerald heard what Seiya said at that moment, he felt that Seiya was being somewhat arrogant.

Although Jellal is the original body, his clone, Zirekine, possesses magical power that is no less than that of the original body, in order to successfully infiltrate the Magic Council and obtain the title of "Ten Wizard Saints".

Now that his mind has returned, it means that his magic and soul have returned, and his strength is now roughly equal to one plus one equals two.

"That's how it is. After all, we were old friends, so I've always held back."

To avoid accidentally hitting you too hard and killing you, controlling your strength is very difficult.

However, now that your thought form has returned, you've become quite strong, which allows me to act a little more freely.

Upon hearing Seiya's words, Gerald couldn't help but laugh out loud in exasperation.

"I didn't know before that you were so arrogant."

It seems that defeating Joseph Bora and obtaining the title of "One of the Ten Wizard Saints" has made you quite arrogant.

Even among the Ten Wizard Saints, there are differences in skill levels. Someone like Joseph Pora could easily defeat my mental form. Don't get too cocky here!

As Gerald finished speaking, his body once again transformed into a golden streak of light and vanished instantly before Seiya's eyes.

After fusing with the Thought Body, Jellal's Celestial Magic: Meteor became even faster, reaching a speed that was beyond the reach of the naked eye.

"Martial Arts - Perception! Extrasensory Perception! Mind's Eye! Immovable Fortress!"

Under the combined effects of several martial arts techniques, Seiya's perception reached its peak. The speed that Gerald could not see with the naked eye became as conspicuous as a shooting star in the night in Seiya's eyes.

Gerald, who shot towards Seiya, looked at Seiya without any reaction and showed a disdainful expression.

With his magic power concentrated in his fists, he swung them at high speed the next second, unleashing a series of star-shaped punches that were like streaks of light, aiming straight for Seiya's vital points.

Celestial Magic: Meteor allows one to move as swiftly as a meteor. Gerald originally thought that with his current speed, Seiya wouldn't even have time to react.

However, he was soon surprised to find that when he swung his fist at Seiya, the latter actually looked down at him and smiled.

"Tenth-tier magic: Self-time acceleration!"

In the blink of an eye, Gerald realized that Seiya, who had been standing in front of him, had inexplicably disappeared, and his super-fast Meteor Fist had all hit the air.

Before Gerald could even process what had just happened, alarm bells rang in his mind. Just as he sensed danger, a fist the size of a sandbag came hurtling towards his handsome face with a whooshing sound!

"A million-ton punch!"

The Friendship-Breaking Punch struck Gerald's face directly, deforming his handsome features. He was sent flying backward with a loud sonic boom amidst a ring of shockwaves.

"boom------!"

Jellal was sent flying backward at several Mach numbers, the immense impact causing his body to crash through the towering Tower of Paradise on the island, traversing from one side to the other. Seeing this astonishing commotion, even Erza and the others, who had been engaged in battle, were completely dumbfounded.

Although the members of Fairy Tail knew that Seiya was very strong before, they did not expect that Seiya would be so strong as to be monstrous.

Miriam and Hugh, needless to say, haven't seen Seiya for many years.

In the past, Seiya's strength and talent were not particularly outstanding compared to Erza and Jellal; at most, he was only slightly stronger than them.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Seiya has become an existence that is simply unattainable in their eyes.

They had experienced firsthand how strong Gerald was. Before Gerald merged with the Thought Body, he was someone Simon considered invincible.

Yet, the incredibly powerful Gerald was treated like a grandson and bullied around by Seiya.

Even after merging with the thought entity Qirekiin, there wasn't much change; he still got beaten up as usual.

Simon and the others had previously regarded Gerald as a formidable enemy, believing that they needed to combine their strength to defeat him.

But now it seems to them that Seiya is the real boss.

"What has Seiya-nii-san gone through all these years to become so strong..."

Miriam, who was dealing with the fodder on the Tower of Paradise Island, stared blankly at Jellal, whose body traversed the entire island, and murmured something.

Meanwhile, Xiu, standing beside him, swallowed hard as he watched the scene unfold before him, saying, "Luckily, he wasn't really angry when we attacked Seiya earlier."

Otherwise, that one punch alone would have been enough to kill me, even if I had ten lives.

"Dimensional teleportation!"

Seiya, who had shoved Gerald from one side of the island to the other with a single punch, glanced at Gerald's landing spot and then, to everyone's astonishment, vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had moved from one end of the island to the other, to the rubble and ruins where Gerald had landed.

Seiya acted with restraint, so it was impossible for him to accidentally kill Geralt.

As the rubble crumbled and Gerald, his clothes torn and his body disheveled, stood up again, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief as he looked at Seiya.

"Time magic, space magic, you've even mastered these kinds of magic..."

When Jellal was sent flying by Seiya's punch, he finally understood why his previous Meteor Fist had missed and why Seiya's figure had suddenly disappeared in front of him.

His Celestial Magic: Meteor was already incredibly fast, and in that instant, he was already in front of Seiya.

Even if Seiya were incredibly fast, it would be impossible for him to disappear without him noticing, or even to appear on the other side of his body.

In that brief moment of mental disorientation, time seemed to stand still, or rather, its passage slowed down.

Then Seiya suddenly appeared in front of him from one side of the island. This time, he did not experience any momentary mental confusion, which meant that the magic used by the other party to move was different from the one used before. It was a spatial magic that could be cast almost instantly.

Celestial magic is already an extremely rare and difficult form of magic, but time magic and space magic are even more advanced, being lost magic that surpasses ancient magic such as dragon-slaying magic!
