Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

“I haven’t lost yet,” Lucy said seriously. “You can’t leave yet!”

“Lucy, I won’t go easy on you,” Gildarts said.

“No need!” Lucy waved her hand, and twelve orbs of light appeared. She said firmly, “I will fight you to the very end, because I have the same faith in you and share the same will as Natsu!”

“Haha.” Gildarts laughed and said, “Yeflit’s assessment of you is very accurate.”

Lucy—usually timid, but very reliable when it matters!

"Twelve-Star Barrage!"

Twelve orbs of light hurtled toward Gildarts.

"Open, Taurus Gate, Talos!"

Talos and Leo, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Gildarts.

Lucy was already gathering the next wave of light spheres.

"Twelve-Star Barrage!"

‘Boom boom boom’

This still didn't bother Gildarts. He shattered the magic, sent Talos and Leo flying with two punches, and then with a casual wave of his hand, destroyed the next wave of magic.

The power gap is too great.

Lucy understood perfectly well, but she still refused to back down.

"Ah—" A group of Natsu rushed towards Gildarts, shouting, "Gildarts, you miscalculated! With so many of us, we can definitely beat you!"

"Haha." Gildarts laughed, "Even in this situation, you still attack. You're something else, Natsu."

The next second, countless little Natsus, like a surging tsunami, engulfed him.

'Om'

A surge of magic spread out, and Natsu returned to normal.

Gildarts punched him, sending him flying.

“Natsu, I can give you a chance, just one chance!” Lucy said.

“Okay.” Natsu nodded.

“Come back, Talos and Leo.”

Lucy recalled her Celestial Spirit and took a deep breath.

"Reaching the farthest reaches of the heavens, countless stars shine forth. Reveal my true form, all are at my command. I am the Lord of the stars, commanding you to open the gates of the wilderness. All 88 stars of the sky, shine forth, the annals of star charts!"

Lucy unleashed her ultimate move, a barrage of stars locking onto Gildarts, unleashing a saturation attack!

"That's pretty impressive." Gildarts cast spells repeatedly to shatter the attacks, but he was still struggling to keep up.

This is not one of those low-end versions of the light spheres; its power is astonishing!

"call--"

Natsu calmed himself down and clenched his fist.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique—"

"Miracle Fire Type—"

"Red Lotus - Phoenix Sword!"

He charged at Gildarts again, and his previous attack had almost succeeded. This time, Gildarts was distracted by Lucy's magic and might not be able to withstand it!

"clever."

Gildas exclaimed in admiration.

"However, it's not like Yefrit is here anymore. This kind of trick won't work on you anymore!"

He dispelled the last bit of magic, then regained his composure and dispelled Natsu's magic before he could be controlled by his emotions.

'boom'

To everyone's surprise, Natsu breathed fire.

"Huh." Gildarts was caught off guard by this turn of events and had to raise his other hand, which he hadn't used before, to defend against the fireball that suddenly appeared in his face.

At that moment, he suddenly felt pain in his abdomen!

'boom'

Natsu punched Gildarts, sending him flying and embedding him in the wall.

"It hurts"

Gildarts rubbed his stomach.

Natsu charged forward again.

"Alright, this performance is acceptable," Gildarts said with a smile.

"What a joke! What's the point of becoming an S-class mage if I don't defeat you?!" Natsu wasn't going to stop.

“Haa—” Gildarts sighed, “Alright.”

'boom'

Suddenly, a terrifying magical power erupted.

Natsu froze.

He stared at Gildarts in utter shock.

“I rarely unleash my magic, Natsu,” Gildarts said, “but I cannot ignore your weakness.”

'puff'

Lucy plopped down on the ground, her chest feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe!

A feeling of fear welled up inside me, as if I had been bewitched by Yefrit.

"What is this?" Natsu gritted his teeth and persevered, standing there and enduring the pain.

Gildarts said, "You are brave, strong, and powerful enough, but there is one thing you lack if you want to become an S-class mage."

"fear."

'Om'

Gildarts' magic erupted even more fiercely.

The immense magical power could be felt throughout the entire Sirius Island!

"What's going on? This terrifying magic!" Juvia exclaimed in shock. "It's almost as powerful as the demons we've fought before! Is this really something a human could do?!"

“So this is Gildarts.” Gray said with a complicated expression, “Natsu, hang in there.”

Natsu and Lucy both unleashed their magical powers just now, and now Gildarts has also unleashed his.

Clearly, this group was the unluckiest, running into Gildarts.

“Natsu, recognizing your own weaknesses is not a bad thing.”

Gildarts said, "Because you are aware of your own weakness, you can maintain a gentle heart in the process of becoming stronger. This way, you won't go astray or end up on a dead end. This is something you must have to become an S-class mage and a powerful mage."

"what--"

Natsu clenched his fist and took a step forward.

A look of surprise appeared on Gildarts's face.

'patta'

Lucy also stood up, struggling to keep up with Natsu.

“Yefrit,” Gildarts frowned slightly and muttered.

Lucy shouldn't have had the strength to stand up. Her ability to stand up now is not related to willpower, but to the difference in strength. Willpower can make someone dig for decades until they flatten a mountain, but it cannot make someone directly move a mountain.

The pressure on Lucy was reduced, though she herself was unaware of it.

Gildarts didn't stop her; a little help wouldn't make a difference. After all, Yefried was just that kind of person—ruthless when it came to tricking people, but also very loyal when it came to helping them.

Lucy lacks not willpower, but strength, and this test for him is not about strength.

Lucy made her way to Natsu's side with difficulty.

Natsu turned his head and grinned at her.

“Natsu.” Lucy hoisted Natsu’s arm, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at Gildarts.

“Haa—” Gildarts sighed, “I already said you’ve passed the test, why bother?”

“Yefrit said there’s no such thing as being qualified in a battle,” Natsu gritted his teeth and said, “There’s only victory and defeat!”

Lucy said, "I'll follow up whenever Natsu throws a punch at you!"

The two supported each other as they approached Gildarts.

“Alright.” Gildarts nodded helplessly.

His magical power surged to its peak!

Lucy's body went limp, and she couldn't stand up at all.

Natsu put his hands under her armpits to support her, then pressed on despite the pressure.

Gildarts looked at Natsu's trembling legs and said, "That's enough, Natsu. I don't want to leave you with any trauma."

"Hey."

Natsu looked at Gildarts, who was standing right in front of him, and smiled.

"Natsu!!!"

Lucy mustered her last strength and rushed forward to hug Gildarts.

Gildarts did not resist.
