Chapter 128

The violent roar echoed on the island for a long time before it gradually subsided.

The sky full of dust along the way Laxus flew backward was also gradually dissipating.

Laxus, who was embedded in the hill, still had his eyes wide open.

Recalling everything that just happened in disbelief.

"Impossible!!"

"Why... is he so strong??"

Laxus’s face also twisted, and he tried hard to pull himself out of the hill.

But, just this thing that was usually easy to do was as difficult as ascending to heaven at this moment.

It took almost all his strength for Laxus to pull himself out of the hill and fall weakly to the ground.

The magic power all over his body had withered to the extreme.

Even the muscles that had just expanded had returned to their original state.

The dragon scales clinging to his skin had also disappeared completely.

Until this moment, the indescribable pain surged into his heart.

"Cough cough..."

Laxus clutched his chest tightly.

Now he even felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter.

The severe pain had already covered his forehead with sweat.

He tried hard to stand up.

But, the weakness of his body was a cruel fact!

Laxus, couldn't stand up anymore...

Freed: "Damn it, Laxus, don't give up! Stand up quickly!!!"

Mirajane: "It's no use, the gap is just too big..."

Erza: "However, it can be seen that Black Natsu used much more power this time than last time."

Sting: "But Laxus also used his full strength, right?"

Hades: "It's really hard to imagine that someone could suppress that Laxus to this extent?"

Hades’s memory of Laxus was very deep.

Back on Tenrou Island, he could even fight him to a draw for a time.

Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to prove Laxus’s strength.

This guy is undoubtedly a genius.

But sometimes the world is just that cruel.

There is always someone better than you.

He is such a genius who is extremely powerful in all aspects.

But he met a monster like Black Natsu.

Two battles.

Two kills in one move, who can take this?

In the sky-screen, Laxus hammered his fist on the ground in anger.

"Damn it!!!"

He gritted his teeth tightly, finding it hard to accept such a fact.

Clearly... he had worked so hard for so long!

Clearly... he had made full preparations!

Clearly... he had already held great determination, deciding to wash away his shame this time.

But, even if he tried his best, he couldn't shake that guy?

Where the hell did this pervert come from??

Clap clap clap!!

Abruptly, the sound of clapping from afar attracted the attention of the two people present.

Looking toward the source of the sound.

One could find that at the end of the line of sight, a middle-aged man in a trench coat was walking slowly.

"Brilliant!"

Gildarts arrived in front of Black Natsu.

At the same time, Laxus on the other side also saw his grandfather Makarov rushing over.

He patted Laxus on the shoulder: "This time, you performed well."

But, Laxus turned his head away.

"There’s nothing to say for a loser, you don't need to comfort me."

Makarov’s hand froze in mid-air.

Looking at Laxus’s retreating figure, Makarov was stunned, then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This might actually be a good thing for Laxus.

There is always someone stronger than you; letting Laxus understand this point, perhaps he won't be so arrogant in the future.

"This really helped me a lot, Natsu."

Thinking of this, Makarov even wanted to praise Black Natsu fiercely.

On the other side, Gildarts’s gaze was fixed on Black Natsu in front of him.

The smile on his face seemed unable to stop.

"Although it was just a brief clash, both of you showed amazing combat power!"

"Truly... heroes come from the youth!"

Gildarts laughed.

"Uncle, you are the final BOSS, right?"

Black Natsu asked.

"Of course, you can understand it that way. I am the final hurdle for you to pass through the gate to S-Class Black Mage!"

Gildarts raised his head.

The fighting spirit in his eyes had already boiled over.

"So! Now you have no time to rest. If you want to become an S-Class Black Mage..."

Gildarts opened his hands. Majestic magic power erupted instantly!

At this moment, the trees began to tremble, the earth began to moan, and the birds in the forest fled wildly.

Even the sky-screen footage being watched showed visible trembling.

That was pure roaring caused by magic power!

The sky also dimmed at this moment.

Extreme pressure shrouded the entire island!

"Just come and defeat me! Kid!!!"

At this moment, Gildarts showed his strength to people all over the world through the sky-screen!

Jura: "Is this... the legendary Gildarts?"

Bob: "Ara ara, little Makarov actually hid such a hand. This expressive power of magic... is enough to rank in the top few of the Wizard Saints, right?"

Yajima: "Incomparable! But, this magic power that is enough to shake the entire island... is simply unheard of!"

Hades: "This guy... is he even stronger than during the battle on Tenrou Island?"

"If he participates in the war at this level... wouldn't he be able to pull even me off the horse?"

Makarov: "Hahaha, how about it! This is the only Black Mage in history who has returned alive from the century quest!"

"At the same time, he is also the only person who has encountered Acnologia head-on and returned alive!"

Warrod: "Gildarts... truly a remarkable junior."

"However, Black Natsu on the opposite side is not weak either. Truly a tense battle!"

Mavis: "Has it finally arrived? I’m afraid this is the battle for the strongest Black Mage in Fairy Tail, right?"

Gildarts is absolutely serious!

Makarov, who was watching all this from not far away, had already furrowed his brows.

This is beyond doubt.

Whether it was the overwhelming magic power pouring out, or the trees and stones that were constantly being shattered and decomposed all around.

These all confirmed Gildarts’s seriousness.

The super-level magic Crush was already in a state of readiness.

That is, once touched, the terrifying magic that would be crushed from the molecular level.

Boom————!!!

The magic power, which was already like an endless ocean, expanded again!

Suffocating!

Directly centered on Gildarts’s body, it formed a substantial white pillar of light!

At this moment, it rushed into the sky.

Boom boom boom————!!!

Just the roar of magic power caused a brief phenomenon of tinnitus.

"Wha————t?!!!"

Laxus, who had lost his combat power, sat on the ground, staring in shock at the white pillar of light rushing into the sky in front of him.

Sweat kept flowing on Laxus’s face.

Looking at the center of the magic storm, he finally discovered...

He was too naive.

Compared to those strong people who can truly leave their names in this era, he is simply a gap like a chasm!

"So strong... is this... really still human? Gildarts!!!"

Makarov’s face was also extremely ugly.

"That bastard, didn't he say he was just going to be an examiner for once?"

"Is this going to be a full-out fight?"

He had calculated everything, but he never expected that a mature middle-aged man like Gildarts.

Would actually be stirred up by a kid.

Just how terrifying is Gildarts going all out?

Even Makarov didn't know.

The only thing he knew was that this exam... had already started to become unpredictable.

Gildarts’s hair stood up in the pure white pillar of light.

White light flowed all over his body.

In the extreme magic power, his open eyes were also reflected as exceptionally scarlet!

Just like a monster!

Happy: "This posture... I won't forget it."

Natsu: "Ah... Gildarts was like this back then, no... the pressure this time is even stronger than last time."

"Truly a monster through and through!"

Gray: "Speaking of which, after Natsu encountered Gildarts in the last exam, how exactly did he pass the exam?"

Natsu: "Surrender!"

Everyone: "Ah??"

Natsu: "I’m not joking, it was surrender. That time Gildarts let me know my own weakness and also encouraged me to change, so I became stronger."

"I understood this point, so I passed."

Lucy: "So that’s how it was? No wonder I felt extremely terrifying magic power on Tenrou Island that time."

Happy: "It is worth mentioning that that time, Natsu was directly scared to tears."

Natsu: "There’s just no way around this. Facing that kind of monster with no end in sight, there’s just no way to win, okay?"

"Even fighting spirit would be worn away, okay?"

Erza: "Perhaps it really is like that. At least, looking at the sky-screen footage, I can feel the despair coming over me."

Mirajane: "So, how will Black Natsu on that side choose?"

The magic power rushing into the sky made the entire island begin to tremble.

Gildarts going all out made the whole world recognize his terror.
