A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Page 491

Chapati's voice was quite effective. After the initial panic, the audience finally came to their senses: "That's right, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. With so many powerful mages present, what am I afraid of?"

Thinking about it this way, many people simply stopped trying to escape, their fearless spirit inappropriately emerging, and then they sat down and continued watching the game.

……

The enormous foot was about to fall on his head, but Laxus saw it clearly. With a flash of dazzling golden light, he transformed into lightning and easily leaped to the side to avoid being trampled.

Bang! ! !

The moment the giant foot landed, the ground of the arena cracked, and then the entire foot continued to stomp into the ground.

Everyone was immediately puzzled: What happened? He practically stomped through the track, yet the mountain didn't budge an inch?

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the area under the arena was empty!

Good heavens, you guys cut corners during construction!

Chapter 678 The Battle Resolved Instantly

The colossal body of the warrior soared into the clouds, its full form obscured from view in the audience. As the winds and clouds swirled and slowly dissipated, the Battle God's Bond finally appeared in its entirety.

However, because his body was so large, only one foot was on the arena, while the other foot was outside the arena. The tall mountain located on the west side of Crocus looked like a shoe on his foot.

Zhan Zhiban has thick hair on his head, a cold expression, and black eyes that seem devoid of any emotion. He has horns under his chin, a burly build, and dark red skin. He wears only a short skirt in the style of an ancient tribe. Even if he were scaled down, he would still be a tall and strong man. In his hand, he holds a huge iron sword. The hilt alone is as big as an entire mountain. Just by looking at him, one can tell that he has the destructive power to easily destroy Crocus.

"It's huge!!"

"Bigger than a dragon!"

Several mages who had seen dragons before couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their eyes filled with fear.

Seeing this scene, Kira suddenly understood why Aroc could fight Laxus for so long. The characteristic of the contracted summoning magic is that the more you pay, the stronger you become. If a mage who has signed a contract pays for something non-renewable, then his own 'assets' will become less and less, and his strength will naturally decline.

Therefore, Aroc in X792 of the original work may have already been nerfed.

However, even if the opponent is stronger now than before, they definitely can't beat Laxus when he goes all out!

"Is it really possible for humanity to defeat such a being?"

Looking up at this giant, radiating danger and devoid of self-awareness, driven only by a bloodthirsty instinct, the audience was filled with dread. Only a few were not focused on winning, but rather on something else entirely—

"Ugh... Don't you guys feel awkward standing under his crotch?"

"Look up, maybe there's a nice view?"

"Shut up! Stop being disgusting!"

"So...so...terrible..."

The audience's noise didn't bother Laxus. He first looked up at the huge monster, then turned his gaze to Aroc: "Is this your trump card?"

"To summon it in a place like this, it seems you completely disregard the Council and the Royal Family."

"The Council and the Royal Family? What are those?!" Aroc laughed loudly. "I don't care about any of that. Even if everyone here dies, it has nothing to do with me!"

The road has narrowed, old man!

Laxus didn't believe that this guy could get away with offending so many people... even though he probably was already living like a rat in the ground.

However, Laxus wasn't one to care about the other party's appearance. At this moment, all he could see was the God of War. As for the audience? He felt that with others around, there was no need for him to worry about them.

Suddenly, the bondage of war was activated.

He raised his heavy sword with his right hand and thrust it downwards with force. In an instant, a sharp, invisible wind pressure swept through the entire venue, pressing down on a large number of mages and ordinary people so that they could not stand up.

call--!

"Be careful!!"

Amidst countless clamorous exclamations, the tip of the greatsword fell from the sky, piercing straight towards Laxus, but Laxus dodged it after transforming into an elemental form. The iron sword thus pierced directly through the arena ground and plunged into the pit beneath the arena.

Throughout the process, the ground was as smooth as tofu, without any resistance. Then, a bottomless crack split horizontally along both sides of the blade, breaking into countless smaller cracks, and countless pieces of stone fell into the pit.

The ground inside the pit was also pierced, and the iron sword was immediately stuck in the mountain. Rocks flew and exploded wildly under the influence of the enormous force, making a clanging sound. However, the audience could not see this scene.

Laxus dodged the powerful sword strike, then leaped up, taking advantage of the iron sword being stuck inside the mountain, transforming into lightning and charging upwards at an almost vertical angle along the blade.

Golden lightning crackled around him, propelling Laxus to its absolute maximum speed. Spectators could only see a thick bolt of golden lightning shooting straight into the sky, as if it would shatter the heavens.

"If I just kill this thing, I'll have won, right?"

Facing one of the Eighteen War Gods head-on, Laxus felt a surge of heroic spirit and fighting spirit. He unconsciously increased his magic output, quickly passing over the palm, arm, and shoulder, and then continued to soar into the sky, arriving at the top of the Battle Bond.

Clench your fist, gather your strength, and slam it down!

"Thunder Dragon's... Crushing Fist!!!"

boom!!!

With a loud shout, Laxus delivered a devastating punch to the head of the God of War, Battle Bond, causing a deafening explosion in the air. Dazzling golden lightning pierced through the clouds and mist, shattering the heavens!

The powerful blow landed on Zhan Zhiban's massive head, raising a cloud of dust, while golden lightning, with overwhelming force, shattered his body into pieces in an instant.

Its towering body, as tall as a mountain, shattered into countless dark red chunks of flesh that fell together, continuously dissipating energy in mid-air before finally vanishing into nothingness as pitch-black magic.

To the astonishment of the audience, Laxus, using the still-dissipating chunks of flesh, maneuvered several times in mid-air before landing steadily again with his lightning-powered body.

His expression was calm, as if what he had just done was a trivial matter to him, like making an ordinary punch, without much exertion.

"Impossible... How could this be..."

Everything happened so fast that Aroc didn't even have time to react. He stared at the scene before him in disbelief, his mind reeling, his pupils dilating, and his legs buckled, causing him to kneel on the ground.

"I lost..."

Ding ding ding!!

"Beat beat beat... Match over!!"

Chapati, visibly excited, announced the result of the match amidst gasps of surprise: "The winner is Laxus Drowier of Fairy Tail!!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"Wow, that's amazing!!!"

"As expected, trusting 'Fairy Tail' was the right decision!"

"FAIRY TAIL!!! FAIRY TAIL!!! FAIRY TAIL!!!..."

The enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of spectators brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax. Whether they were mages or ordinary people, they were all immersed in the powerful aesthetics of magic. It was as if their understanding of magic had been refreshed, and they were filled with endless longing and admiration for Laxus and the Fairy Tail guild.

Inside the Fairy Tail camp, all the mages looked at Laxus with shining, sparkling eyes. The Thunder Gods were even so moved that they burst into tears.

"As expected of Laxus!!!"

"It's not surprising; I knew that guy could do it."

"So cool!!"

"Tch...that guy just knows how to show off..."

"Jealousy! You're clearly just jealous!!"

At this moment, Makarov looked at Laxus, who was turning around and walking off the field amidst cheers, with a bewildered expression.

What did I just see? He actually defeated one of the Eighteen War Gods of the Demon Realm in one fell swoop! Was that person really Laxus? How did he become so strong? Is that really my grandson??

"What's wrong, Third Hokage? Judging from your expression, you didn't expect him to be this strong, did you?"

Seeing Makarov's expression, Mebis smiled, looking like a mischievous and adorable elf.

"Heh...hehe..."

"See, President? You've gotten old!"

Kira's voice rang out at just the right moment, "Young people these days are all on a fast track to advancement; you older folks can't keep up!"

Makarov: "..."

Do you have to be so hurtful with your words...?

"If you find the truth too harsh, here's a more palatable reason: the world today is filled with abundant magic, far more so than it was hundreds of years ago, and it's growing every year. That's why the new generation is getting stronger and stronger, and the talents of mages are becoming increasingly higher..."

Makarov paused, thinking to himself: Hmm? This reason... seems acceptable...
