"Measure the sky and open the heavens, summon all the stars, gather all the light... Appear before me, Four Books, I am the ruler of all stars... Full liberation! Liberate all barren gates!"
"Eighty-Eight Stars of the Sky: Star Map History!"
As Lucy's clear and resonant chant rang out, two Lucys radiated dazzling golden light, tightly enveloping them.
The originally clear sky instantly turned as black as ink, as if night had fallen.
Countless gigantic stars, like brilliant gems, shone with bright radiance, converging from all directions at an astonishing speed, circling around Zorn.
These stars were tightly arranged, forming a breathtaking and spectacular sight.
Immediately after, Lucy waved her hands forcefully, pointing in Zorn's direction.
In an instant, countless stars, like a group of fierce meteorites, sped towards Zorn.
With unparalleled might and power, they whistled through the night sky, stirring up a violent energy storm in their wake.
"Oh, wow, that's really... terrifying!" Facing the overwhelming barrage of stars, Zorn couldn't help but widen his eyes, marveling inwardly.
That powerful sense of oppression made him feel an unprecedented shock; standing amidst these vast stars, he suddenly felt so small, as if he could be swallowed by the endless starlight at any moment.
"Lucy, although you still need the help of the Celestial Spirits, it seems you can already skillfully use this magic!"
Seeing Lucy successfully cast such powerful magic, Zorn couldn't help but nod, affirming her training results.
Clearly, Lucy performed exceptionally well in terms of continuous magical output, without any flaws. Her magical power also greatly improved.
He, too, would have to use his true strength as a Great Swordsman.
Zorn's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and a powerful aura emanated from his entire body.
With a "pop," black-purple Armament Haki surged like a tide onto the blade of dragon cry, instantly enveloping it.
His body slightly crouched, and though he didn't use any magic, he floated steadily in mid-air.
His sinking posture not only didn't affect his accumulation of momentum but instead added an unstoppable might to him.
In an instant, sharp sword energy overflowed, filling the entire sky, and the towering trees on the ground broke in response to the impact of this sword energy.
Broken branches and leaves fluttered down, forming a spectacular sight.
However, just as the sword intent was about to reach the crowd below, a mysterious and unpredictable sword intent suddenly emerged.
This sword intent was like an invisible whirlwind, swiftly crushing all residual power, disappearing without a trace.
It was like hidden dangers beneath a calm sea, instilling fear.
But Zorn's attack was like a sharp sword plunging into a deep sea fissure, triggering a series of low roars.
It was as if angry shouts from the depths of hell, carrying endless pressure and deterrence.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and Everyone felt their breathing become difficult, their hearts enveloped by fear.
Although Erza reacted quickly and retracted her sword intent in time, the thrilling scene just now still left Everyone with lingering fear.
"Erza?" Everyone's gaze turned to Erza, who stood aside, equally poised and ready.
They were surprised to find that the aura emanating from Erza's sword intent was also so terrifying!
"Is this the sword intent of a Great Swordsman?" Juvia murmured in astonishment.
"So strong!" Ultear echoed Meredy.
"Lucy's Super Magic, plus Erza's sword..." Gajeel muttered, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Maybe we can really win this battle!" Natsu clenched his fists, secretly cheering himself on.
Wendy nervously watched ahead, her supportive magic still continuously supplied, silently praying for victory in her heart.
At this moment, Everyone's hearts were filled with hope and confidence.
They believed that with Lucy's Super Magic and Erza's swordsmanship, they would definitely be able to defeat Zorn!
In just one second, Zorn's charge was complete.
"One-Sword Style - Iai Slash!" Zorn lightly shouted, and the long sword in his hand swung out at an astonishing speed.
A purple-gold crescent-shaped slash, covering the sky and sun, shot out like lightning, instantly transforming into countless sharp light blades, as if to tear the entire sky apart.
These light blades, with unparalleled might, fiercely crashed into the incoming stars.
There was an earth-shattering roar, and the stars were instantly cleaved in half, fragments scattering everywhere.
Immediately after, hideous cracks appeared in the night sky, finally shattering with a roar.
The Star Map History Super Magic could not escape under this terrifying blow and disintegrated in response.
Although the power of the purple-gold slash was weakened, its momentum remained undiminished, still speeding fiercely towards Erza.
Facing the fierce attack, Erza's expression was as calm as water. She slowly raised her hand and gripped the black-red hilt. Then, she swung it forcefully, the blade cutting through the void, leaving a dazzling red-black light.
Almost at the same instant, the red-black slash and the purple-gold slash collided with a roar.
In an instant, an extremely violent storm suddenly erupted.
The storm was like a raging tornado; every wisp of wind contained terrifying cutting power, mercilessly tearing at the surrounding air.
The center of the storm was where the two slashing forces clashed. They were like two ferocious beasts, engaged in a desperate struggle in a confined space, neither giving way. The fierce collision resulted in an endless surge of energy, forming a massive energy vortex.
The surrounding trees and rocks were no match for this powerful force, breaking and collapsing.
The strong wind made Everyone unable to stand steady at this moment.
The unimaginably powerful force left Everyone dumbfounded!
Facing such astonishing might, Erza unhesitatingly unleashed her last bit of magic, quickly transforming: "Requip - Adamantine Armor!"
"Adamantine Barrier!"
An incredibly sturdy magical shield suddenly appeared, like an impregnable fortress, blocking in front of Everyone, successfully resisting the fierce attack of the aftermath.
"Gray, together!"
Gray immediately responded after hearing Ultear's shout: "Okay!"
Meredy also stepped forward, shouting loudly: "I'll help too!"
With that, she continuously transmitted her magical power through a connection into Gray and Ultear's bodies.
The moment their hands clasped, a bone-chilling cold burst forth.
"Ice-Make - Hexagram!"
Pink and deep blue ice intertwined and quickly solidified, forming a towering and solid defensive ice wall in front of Erza's Adamantine Barrier.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the residents of Magnolia Town nearby.
"What's going on, over there..."
"Did Fairy Tail do it again?"
They all poked their heads out of their houses, their faces full of surprise, gazing at the sudden tornado in the distance and the extremely bizarre weather conditions.
Whenever something happened, without asking, the first suspicion was Fairy Tail; this was probably their consensus.
"That scoundrel Zorn..." Makarov stood on top of the guild building, one hand covering his forehead, the other tightly clenched into a fist, gritting his teeth.
He knew very well, without even looking, that the training ground was definitely not going to be saved this time!
As soon as he thought of this, Makarov couldn't help but want to cry.
"Alright, alright, Third Guild Master, perhaps this is just a characteristic of Fairy Tail members! Maintain a calm heart, a calm heart."
Mavis, the First Guild Master, was floating in mid-air at this moment. She gently patted Makarov's shoulder, comforting him softly.
