After saying that, Erza gave Natsu a hard push, and Natsu and Gray were separated.
No, it's not just about separating.
"Waaah!"
The excessive force sent the two boys, each weighing around 30 kilograms, flying. Their necks cracked with a sickening sound, and they collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.
"How about you two have a day to rest?" Li Xiaoxi walked to Erza's side, looking at Natsu and Gray lying on the ground, a headache-like expression on her face.
"You're always fighting, but I've never seen you decide a winner."
"Shut up!" Natsu jumped up energetically, then noticed that the speaker was Li Xiaoxi, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Li Xiaoxi! Let's have a showdown!"
"Erza!" Gray jumped up too.
"You should challenge me to a duel!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them jumped up at the same time and rushed towards Li Xiaoxi and Erza, who were standing together in the middle. However, one of them rushed towards Li Xiaoxi and the other rushed towards Erza.
Seeing Natsu and Gray pounce on them without saying a word, Li Xiaoxi and Erza's expressions both fell. As Natsu and Gray reached their sides, they simultaneously raised their hands in a chopstick motion and unleashed a powerful blow to the abdomen of their opponents who had challenged and attacked them unilaterally. The blow was invisible to the average person.
"Bang—!"
"Ouch!" Natsu and Gray, who had been struck directly in the abdomen with a chop to the stomach, bulged out of their eyes. After a moment of being frozen in place, they slumped to the ground and could not get up again.
"Hahahaha!" The people around burst into exaggerated laughter.
Natsu and Gray would fight, only to be stopped by Erza. Even after being stopped, the two of them would still challenge Li Xiaoxi and Erza, only to be defeated by them in one move. This scene happens almost every day now.
Does this really reflect the style of this guild?
Chapter 234 A Dangerous Man.
However, Natsu lived up to his title as the Dragon Slayer, recovering quickly after being hit by Erza's heavy blow.
"Natsu, weren't you hatching the dragon egg with Lisanna? Why are you cheering Gray on in the guild?" Li Xiaoxi said, looking at Natsu who was actually dueling Gray with his eyes.
"I brought some things back with me, and that guy Gray said I was looking for cooking ingredients to cook dragon eggs."
"Are you saying that really a dragon egg? Don't be ridiculous."
"Alright, stop arguing. We'll know if it's a dragon egg or not once it hatches. Now, stop arguing. Look at Erza..." Li Xiaoxi said, speechless, seeing the two about to start fighting again.
It's unclear whether Li Xiaoxi's persuasion had worked, or whether her mention of Erza in the air had intimidated the two. After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, Natsu and Gray shook hands and made peace.
"Ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong—ding-dong—!"
It was a sound as loud as church bells.
As if it were a festival, a huge bell suddenly rang out throughout Fairy Tail and even the whole of Magnolia, so loud that almost everyone in Magnolia could hear it.
"Kildarts!"
"It's Gildarts!"
"Kildarts is back!"
At the same time that the commotion started, Li Xiaoxi also heard an alarm sounding over Magnolia.
"Magnolia has been switched to Gildarts mode. All townspeople, please proceed to the designated location as soon as possible!"
As the alarm sounded, Li Xiaoxi, Mirajane, and the guild members felt the ground begin to shake.
"W-what's wrong?"
"Kildarts—!"
The guild chatter continued.
"Kildas?" Mira and Lisanna looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Who is Gildarts?"
Li Xiaoxi frowned and walked towards the door without saying a word. Mirajane quickly followed and went out with Li Xiaoxi.
……
When Li Xiaoxi, Mira, and Lisanna came out of the library and arrived at the bar on the first floor of the guild, they saw this scene.
All the mages in the guild fell silent, as if the commotion just moments before had been fake, and all eyes turned toward the main entrance.
At the guild's main entrance, a figure was slowly approaching.
Almost instantly, Li Xiaoxi held her breath and, like everyone else around her, focused her gaze on the direction of the main entrance.
Even inside the guild, Li Xiaoxi could clearly see what the scene outside was like.
If I had to describe Li Xiaoxi's current feelings in one word, it would be—shocking. Even Yamato and the others' full-force magic bullets hadn't given Li Xiaoxi such a strong shock.
Because Magnolia has cracked open!
Magnolia, originally home to numerous buildings, split off to the sides with the guild entrance as the dividing line, and two thick walls were erected to protect all the buildings on either side. Just like in the movie Li Xiaoxi saw, the houses could be rearranged. Even with Li Xiaoxi's many Xiaoxi cards, it was still impossible to achieve this.
This resulted in a road leading from outside Magnolia all the way to the entrance of Fairy Tail!
It was under these circumstances that a being named Gildarts slowly walked over from the other side of the road and stepped into the guild's gate.
He was a middle-aged man who was probably around forty years old.
Moreover, he was a middle-aged man with a dusty, travel-worn cloak, a chin covered in fine stubble, and a rather unkempt appearance.
A disheveled middle-aged man carrying a cloth bag walked in from outside and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Despite being just a disheveled middle-aged man, Li Xiaoxi felt an extremely strong presence emanating from him.
Of course, what Li Xiaoxi cared about was not the other party's extremely strong presence, but the factors that led to that presence.
With her exceptional sensory abilities, Li Xiaoxi clearly sensed it.
The rather disheveled middle-aged man in front of her possessed a powerful force that rivaled Li Xiaoxi's. However, while their strengths were equal, Li Xiaoxi didn't know how long he could last in actual combat.
"------!"
Subconsciously, Li Xiaoxi clenched her fists and tensed up, as if she had entered a state of combat readiness, staring intently at the middle-aged man named Gildarts.
"Hmm?" Gildarts had just stepped into the guild's gate and only had time to glance around before he suddenly tilted his head in confusion and fixed his gaze on Li Xiaoxi, refusing to look away.
The guild members who had originally intended to greet Gildarts seemed to have sensed something was amiss, and they looked at each other blankly, forgetting to speak.
The children present, including Mira, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Cana, and Elfman, were as thirsty as if they were parched, their lips becoming dry. They opened their mouths but could not utter a word.
A heavy atmosphere was permeating the air.
Looking at Li Xiaoxi, who was staring intently at him, her body tense, as if she were ready to fight at any moment, Gildarts suddenly smiled, a very composed smile.
"It seems some interesting people have appeared while I was away from the guild. But I'm not your enemy, so there's no need to be so wary of me, is there?"
Gildarts's steady yet light voice echoed throughout the guild, instantly dispelling the heavy atmosphere.
Upon hearing Gildarts' words, Li Xiaoxi was taken aback. She then realized that her actions seemed a bit too intense. She took a deep breath, slowly relaxed her body, and readily bowed in apology.
"I'm sorry, I overreacted."
"No need to worry about that." Gildarts's composed expression turned into a somewhat frivolous and exaggerated smile, followed by a curious question.
"More than that, I'm curious why you've suddenly become wary of me."
"Because you are very strong!" Li Xiaoxi answered without any concealment.
"I can sense that you are very strong. If you were to attack me, I'm afraid I would be defeated after just a few moves," Li Xiaoxi said very seriously. This was the first time Li Xiaoxi had felt threatened by someone after experiencing two worlds.
Chapter 235 The Strongest Guild?
Upon hearing Li Xiaoxi's words, Mira, Erza, and others of the same age all showed astonished expressions, while the mages in the guild seemed to take it all for granted.
However, unlike Mira, Erza, and the others who showed astonishment, Natsu's expression was one of excitement at having found a worthy opponent.
"So, that's why you suddenly became wary of me—because you're afraid I'll attack you?" Gildarts was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"This is really interesting!"
"Hey!" At this moment, Natsu jumped out and pointed at Gildarts arrogantly.
"who are you?"
“Me?” Gildarts pointed at himself and grinned.
"My name is Gildarts, and I'm a mage from Fairy Tail!"
"A mage from Fairy Tail?" Mira, Erza, Elfman, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
“Kana.” Li Xiaoxi turned her gaze to Kana, who was standing to the side, and asked the senior who was the first among the children of the same age to join Fairy Tail.
Do you know him?
However, Li Xiaoxi's words received no response.
Because Kana stared blankly at Gildarts standing in the doorway, without saying a word, looking completely lost. Li Xiaoxi guessed that Kana must have a story with this Gildarts.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoxi nudged Kana's shoulder in surprise.
"Kana?"
"Ah..." Kana exclaimed softly, then came to her senses and forced a smile.
"W-what happened?"
"Didn't you hear me?" Li Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No...it's nothing," Kana quickly brushed it off.
What did you just say?
"I want to ask you, who is this person?" Li Xiaoxi could only suppress her doubts and asked again.
Why did Magnolia suddenly change like that?
"You mean Gildarts?" Kana looked at Gildarts again. Li Xiaoxi wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Kana's gaze towards Gildarts was somewhat complicated and peculiar.
"He's the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!"
"The strongest mage in Fairy Tail?" Li Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise.
"You mean, he's even stronger than Grandpa?"
"I don't know about that." Kana scratched her head sheepishly.
"After I joined Fairy Tail, Gildarts was already known as the strongest mage in Fairy Tail. As for whether he is stronger than the guild master, only the guild master knows."
"Then, why did Magnolia become like that?" Li Xiaoxi turned her head and looked directly at Magnolia, which had been split in two to create a path leading to Fairy Tail.
"Is it because of Gildarts?"
"Yes!" Kana nodded emphatically.
"Because Gildarts used a super-grade destructive magic—Crush!"
Li Xiaoxi's gaze immediately sharpened.
There are countless kinds of magic in the magical world.
Some are ancient magics developed by our ancestors and passed down from the beginning of time.
Some of these are lost magics that have been lost since ancient times, and only a very few people have the good fortune to learn them.
Some of them are new types of magic developed by some outstanding mages.
Some are rare spells obtained from documents, left behind by unknown powerful mages.
Among so many kinds of magic, there are naturally some that are far more powerful than ordinary magic, and once learned, their power is extremely outstanding.
Superior Destruction Magic!
Having this title means that the magic is absolutely at the forefront of all magic in terms of destruction in this area, far surpassing the existence of other magic!
While it may not be the strongest, it is still many times stronger than ordinary magic!
In terms of destruction alone, it's possible that even Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic might not be as good as it!
“Kildarts doesn’t seem to have a good grasp of his magic; he can cause a lot of damage if he’s not careful,” Cana explained.
