Chapter 105
"Then, let's go!"
Without hesitation, Hades took off his outer robe and took a step forward.
The next second, terrifying magic power rose from his body, and as he advanced step by step, the magic power was still rising crazily.
With him as the center, powerful air currents surged out continuously, impacting all directions.
The ground under his feet cracked continuously, and slightly smaller pebbles turned directly into dust under this magic power.
The magic power was so strong that even the air was trembling.
On the other side, 'Zero' also erupted with his own power, but compared to Hades, the power he released was clearly much weaker.
"No wonder Grimoire Heart can be hailed as the strongest dark guild; even I am inferior to such strength."
Although he didn't really want to admit it, 'Zero' had to acknowledge that as fellow dark guild masters, Hades's strength was indeed far greater than his own.
And he was precisely the one who had taken a fancy to the other's power and chose to join Grimoire Heart.
Otherwise, how could someone with extremely strong power be willing to live under someone else?
"What? Can't hold back and ready to join forces?"
Through Observation Haki, Blackbeard quickly sensed two powerful forces, and he naturally knew the identities of these two people.
"Yes, your strength is too astonishing; we have no choice but to join forces."
Transforming into a beam of magic power, Hades, radiating white light, walked over slowly.
As for 'Zero', he was already standing at a corner of the battlefield, and with Bluenote still fighting, the three formed a triangle, tightly surrounding Blackbeard.
"Is that so." Blackbeard's stubbled face grinned. "Why do I still not believe it? At least I feel a dangerous aura from you."
"Attack!"
Clearly, Hades did not intend to waste words with Blackbeard; magic power converged, and a dark purple magic circle instantly appeared.
"Amaterasu: Formula 12!"
As soon as the words fell, several identical magic circles appeared around Blackbeard.
While Hades acted, 'Zero' was not idle either; with a wave of his hands, a spiral-shaped black beam of light tore through the sky and shot out.
Seeing this, Bluenote, who was fighting, quickly distanced himself from Blackbeard, and while retreating, he activated gravity magic.
Terrifying magic power descended again; clearly, Bluenote did not want to let Blackbeard leave the battlefield because of his own retreat!
In an instant, magic circles, black beams, and gravity all locked onto Blackbeard, sealing off all his retreat paths.
The next second, magic power flashed!
Amaterasu magic and the black beam, coordinated with Bluenote's restraint, landed on Blackbeard without the slightest deviation.
Magic power collided, and powerful energy fluctuations surged out like a tide, destroying everything in their path—trees collapsed, boulders shattered.
Even the magic airship, hundreds of meters high, shook violently in the air under this impact.
Dust filled the sky.
Within hundreds of meters, it was covered by thick smoke, rotating in the manner of a tornado.
Even the members of Grimoire Heart, upon seeing such a situation, felt their hearts tremble!
"It should be over now."
Stabilizing his figure, Rustyrose, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, asked.
"I don't know, but what is certain is that no one can remain unscathed under the siege of three people who possess Saint Ten, or even surpass Saint Ten," Ultear said in a deep voice.
Not to mention anything else, if it were her in the same situation, even with her time-manipulation magic, she could not block such a joint attack.
This was no longer the same level.
At least according to what she knew, the only one who could survive in the same situation and remain unscathed was the otherworldly person from a while ago, the three admirals' Akainu from the World Government.
Although the current situation was extremely similar, clearly the joint effort of the two Heavenly King-level masters of the dark guild, plus the vice-master whose strength was comparable to the top five of the Saint Ten.
Was far more terrifying than the combination of Warrod, Makarov, and Jura that Akainu had encountered earlier.
"You... you guys... look... that guy..."
However, just as Ultear was lost in thought, Kain Hikaru's voice came from the side.
Following the direction he was looking, they saw a black dot emerging from the dust and smoke, and it kept expanding as time passed.
Immediately the next second, darkness devoured, and Blackbeard's figure appeared again, accompanied by his usual eerie laughter.
"Ze-hahahahaha..."
"This... how is this possible..."
Seeing this, the members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory present almost cried out in shock.
In their impression, there was no one who could withstand a single blow from their master and be completely fine.
And the man before them not only withstood one blow but also completely absorbed the attack from Master 'Zero' on the side.
"Just how strong is this guy?"
Not only the Seven Kin of Purgatory, but the three who were besieging Blackbeard also had heavy expressions.
Clearly, such a situation also exceeded their imagination.
"My attack seems to have been erased by some kind of power."
'Zero' said in a deep voice.
Hades nodded and said: "The ability of that black mist seems even more bizarre than I imagined."
"Suppressing attacks, absorbing power, releasing power—the whole person is like a walking black hole; it's impossible to hit him at all."
At the moment of the attack, he could feel his magic activate instantly, but there was no feeling of hitting the opponent.
In other words, his attack was very likely absorbed directly by that bizarre black mist, just like Bluenote's earlier.
"This guy simply has no weaknesses."
Hearing Hades's words, Bluenote added.
He, who had fought Blackbeard first, had the most personal experience with this.
No matter how he attacked, he couldn't hit him, and in the end, he might even have his own power released back at him by the opponent's ability.
It was as if he were fighting himself.
"Weaknesses must exist."
Hades shook his head and said.
"He is a human, not a saint; as long as he is human, there must be weaknesses."
"Otherwise, with such a near-invincible ability, how could he have been hunted to this world by Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"There must be something we don't know about this!"
Hearing this, even Lin Cheng, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but admire Hades's wisdom.
Compared to 'Zero' and Bluenote, Hades's gaze was clearly more vicious.
After several rounds of fighting, he had once again grasped the general idea of Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit ability.
It's just a pity...
Still the same saying: if you can't truly hit the target, then no matter how many methods you have, it's useless.
And now, it's my turn to counterattack.
Bang—!
Blackbeard took a step forward, and invisible power vibrated out from within his body.
It felt like stepping on someone's heart; an unprecedented pressure vibrated from within Blackbeard's body.
??!
