On the other side,
Edolas Kingdom - Royal Capital
"Bang~"
A blue figure flew backward, crashing into the plaza.
"Mystogan!"
Laxus turned his head and anxiously called out.
"I'm fine…"
Mystogan pushed away the stone slab on his head, stood up, and responded, panting heavily.
After seeing that Mystogan was fine, Laxus turned his head back to look at the uncle.
"This guy's strength is almost the same as Zorn's! He's a monster in terms of physical combat!"
"Equally troublesome."
Laxus looked at the uncle, whose clothes were only slightly torn, and complained.
"Hey, kid, my name is Gildarts Clive."
"Although I don't know who this Zorn you mentioned is, I grudgingly acknowledge your strength!"
"But that last blow was really dangerous, wasn't it…"
Gildarts rested his sword on his shoulder, nodded, and acknowledged the strength of both Laxus and Mystogan.
On the surface, he looked a little scared.
But from his carefree expression, there was no sign of fear at all.
Mystogan's recent attack: "Five-Layered Magic Circle: Kagura"
Plus Laxus taking advantage of him being restrained by several light pillars.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar" descended from the sky in one fell swoop.
It was a close call.
"Tsk~"
"He's really different from that uncle!"
Laxus clicked his tongue in displeasure.
Just now, during his and Mystogan's combined attack, Gildarts easily broke free from the light pillars' restraint with just a bit of effort.
His attack was even shattered by one of Gildarts's sword techniques.
It didn't look dangerous at all.
This was precisely the reason for Laxus's displeasure.
"Laxus, we must lure him out of the Royal Capital!"
Mystogan walked next to Laxus and suggested with concern.
After all, the surrounding residents hadn't had time to evacuate yet.
Looking at the damaged plaza, he also knew that with their three powerful attacks, the entire Royal Capital might not survive.
"Hmm, that's what I plan to do!"
Laxus nodded in agreement, a more powerful lightning force surging from his body, and dragon scales appearing on his skin.
His aura rose again.
"Oh~ Do you still have hidden power? It seems I'll have to get serious too!"
Gildarts's expression tightened as he felt the oppressive aura, and the sword in his hand immediately switched to battle mode.
"Here I come!"
However, just as Laxus was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed something.
His body paused.
He suddenly reached out and stopped Mystogan.
"Leave this person to me! The kingdom seems to have made new moves, you should go quickly!"
"That's your main battleground."
"What!"
Mystogan looked at Laxus in surprise.
"Exceed, destroy!"
After hearing Laxus's subsequent words, Mystogan's body slowly disappeared before the two of them: "I'll leave it to you, Laxus."
"Alright~ Don't worry!"
After Laxus finished speaking, a large amount of lightning surged.
His figure flickered.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gildarts.
"Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist - Modified"
Lightning wrapped around his fist, then covered by a layer of Armament Haki, directly slamming towards Gildarts's face.
Gildarts's eyes flashed, and he blocked with his sword held in one hand.
But he was still sent flying by a huge force, soaring out of the Royal Capital at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Laxus's figure disappeared from his spot again, stepping on the air.
A powerful thrust erupted from beneath his feet, like an invisible shockwave spreading in all directions.
The ground began to shake, and the air began to churn.
Immediately after, a massive, deafening sonic boom occurred. The shockwave of the sonic boom spread outwards.
Laxus also chased after the flying figure.
The two collided again in the air, but they were getting further and further away from the Royal Capital.
High in the sky,
Laxus flashed above Gildarts, his hands clasped together, crackling with lightning.
"Lightning Dragon's Jaw"
His fists immediately slammed into Gildarts's body.
"With a bang,"
A large crater immediately appeared on the ground.
"It's not over yet, old man!"
Behind Laxus's body, countless lightning bullets reappeared.
Carrying lightning, they all struck the deep crater.
Laxus looked into the deep pit, and in his hand, a Thunder Dragon Halberd condensed again.
This time, he didn't throw it down, but held it horizontally in front of him.
A lightning defense magic circle instantly formed.
A sword light also instantly struck the light shield.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate.
"Ah~"
Laxus exerted force, flinging the sword light away, which struck the side of a mountain.
"Kid, you're really strong!"
"Honestly, you're the first one who can fight me to this extent!"
From the deep pit, a figure slowly walked out.
Inevitably, scorch marks appeared on his body, and only fragments of his upper clothing remained.
So he tore off the remaining shattered pieces of clothing.
The exposed muscles all indicated the even greater power hidden within his body.
"You're not bad either, old man! Besides the scorch marks, there's nothing else wrong with your body!"
"Next, let me experience your swordsmanship, old man!"
Laxus forcefully swung the halberd in his hand, imbuing it with Armament Haki.
Observation Haki was also released, observing Gildarts on the ground.
Gildarts, however, looked at the suddenly appearing new power, his eyes filled with excitement.
He had already felt the power of this strength.
It was simply a perfect match for physical combat.
He flicked his sword, stomped his foot, and swung his sword skyward.
Laxus also swooped down, raising the halberd above his head with both hands, and swung it forcefully.
When their powers collided,
The clouds in the sky immediately churned, splitting in the middle, and lightning flashed exceptionally in the sky.
It even struck the open ground repeatedly.
...
"Next, we just need to make that floating lacrima collide with the cat kingdom, and everything will be successfully completed!"
Byro bent down and said to the King, Faust, with a smile.
"With the fusion of the two magical powers, eternal magic will continuously fall upon our country!"
"Is that so? Hahaha, my wish is finally going to come true!"
The King burst into laughter after hearing this.
He seemed to have everything under control, yet he didn't know that his good son was running towards him.
"Ah, so boring~ Where did everyone else go!"
Hughes sat in the amusement park, using his baton to control everything, to vent his boredom.
The other three captains at this time:
One was being suppressed by Fairy Tail at the guild.
One had joined the enemy camp.
One was fighting Gajeel.
But he knew nothing of all this.
"Thump-thump-thump!"
The sound of footsteps echoed from a passage.
