"Impossible!" Lissanna could no longer maintain his composure, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "Such a powerful Spirit!"
Lucy's breathing was a little short, and her face was flushed with an unnatural red due to the rapid depletion of her magic, but she stood ramrod straight, the light in her eyes brighter than ever.
She looked at the stunned Lissanna and spoke slowly, her voice carrying the unique pride and all-knowing understanding characteristic of the Heartfilia family:
"I told you, Lissanna. All direct descendants of the Heartfilia family over the past four hundred years have been Celestial Spirit Mages. The knowledge and wisdom accumulated over generations far exceed the imagination of a frog in a well like you."
"The pinnacle of a Celestial Spirit Mage is to gather all twelve Zodiac keys and become the legendary Celestial Spirit Grand Mage."
"But there are only twelve keys, and while Celestial Spirit Mages are rare, their number is around ten."
"Celestial Spirit Mages who haven't obtained Zodiac keys don't have high combat power."
"To solve this problem, our family has, for four hundred years, controlled the Crux, said to possess all knowledge of the Celestial Spirit World."
"From old man Crux, we learned of dozens of constellations among the eighty-eight constellations suitable for Celestial Spirit Mages with low magic power to master."
"Among the powerful Silver Keys is Canis Major!"
Lucy panted slightly, her eyes bright as stars, "Sirius is a top-tier combat Celestial Spirit whose strength approaches some of the Zodiac. But its greatest advantage is... the magic it consumes is only on par with a Silver Key!"
"My training time is too short, and my magic power is low. Even if I summon a Zodiac Celestial Spirit, it's difficult for these Celestial Spirits to unleash enough combat power."
"Celestial Spirit Magic is very strong; as long as the summoner has enough magic, a Celestial Spirit can even unleash power comparable to a dragon."
"Each of the Zodiac possesses formidable strength, but limited by my magic, they cannot display their full combat power."
"However, for the keys of the other eighty-eight constellations beyond the Zodiac, with my current magic, I can temporarily allow the Celestial Spirit to unleash its full combat power."
Lucy stared at Lissanna's violently constricted pupils, enunciating each word: "In other words, Lissanna! To deal with you, my 'paltry' magic — is just enough!"
Lucy's final words were like a heavy hammer, striking Lissanna's heart!
"Roar!!!" Responding to Lucy was Sirius's roar, filled with stellar fury and extreme disgust for the "evil person" before him!
Its cold, silver beast eyes instantly locked onto its target!
"Roar—woo—!"
Sirius's massive body moved!
It didn't charge clumsily, but instantly blurred from its spot! Its speed was incredibly fast!
It wasn't Lissanna's pure reliance on wind magic for extreme speed, but rather a flickering projection, as if of the trajectory of stars!
The silver wolf shadow streaked across the sky, leaving an enigmatic silver trace, seemingly ignoring spatial distance, appearing out of thin air before Lissanna!
Its claws, covered in stellar power, harder than fine steel, descended with a tearing shriek that ripped through the air and an intent to shatter stars, striking down directly!
Before the claws even reached, the cold, violent stellar energy had already violently agitated Lissanna's protective azure light!
"So fast!" Lissanna's mind reeled. The shock of Lucy summoning Sirius hadn't faded, and the speed and power of this giant wolf once again overturned his understanding!
He unhesitatingly activated his Godspeed Magic:
"Ten Godspeed · Gale Thousand-Fold Steps!"
Lissanna's figure instantly transformed into dozens of azure afterimages, difficult to distinguish real from fake, moving at high speed, like countless clones scattering simultaneously, attempting to confuse Sirius and seek an opportunity to counterattack!
However, Sirius's eyes, burning with starlight, seemed to see through all illusions!
Deep within its cold beast eyes, the magic pattern belonging to the Canis Major constellation flickered slightly!
"Awoo—woo!"
All the afterimages instantly vanished in its eyes, leaving only a single true body, moving so fast it was almost a blink, yet its trajectory was incredibly clear!
Sirius's massive body displayed unimaginable agility and coordination, spinning smoothly like a flowing galaxy. Its huge silver tail, like a divine dragon's swing, carried a sharp, space-tearing sound and immense gravity, brutally lashing out at Lissanna's inevitable path of evasion!
"What?!" Lissanna was utterly horrified!
His trajectory had been seen through?!
"Damn it! Godspeed Field!" In a hurry, he could only compress wind magic to its limit in front of him, forming a swirling azure wind wall!
Bang!!!
The silver tail struck the wind wall like a giant siege hammer!
The wind wall, strong enough to withstand Taurus's axe swings, shattered in mere tenths of a second under the tail whip of Sirius, which contained pure stellar power and savage beastiality!
The terrifying residual force was like a heavy hammer striking Lissanna's blocking arms!
"Ugh!" Lissanna grunted, his body sent flying like a cannonball!
His arms were incredibly painful, his bones feeling as if they would crack!
He tumbled dozens of times in the air before barely dissipating the force, landing unsteadily, his internal organs churning.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is that?!" Lissanna was both shocked and enraged, a truly serious expression appearing on his face for the first time.
The power, speed, application of stellar trajectories, and the violent stellar energy contained in this silver wolf's attacks far exceeded his expectations.
But Lucy's attack was far from over!
She wasn't just a bystander!
