Chapter 29

In the original work, the reason the Fairy Tail guild made the Magic Council feel a headache was, besides Makarov being the fifth of the Ten Wizard Saints, more because one of the founders of the Fairy Tail guild.

Warrod Sequen, was the fourth of the Ten Wizard Saints and ranked as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

Among the Ten Wizard Saints, the gap between the top four and the bottom six could be said to be worlds apart.

Even if the ranking gap between Makarov and Warrod was only one place, Makarov would be hung up and beaten by Warrod.

And Wolfheim was a Ten Wizard Saint with a higher ranking and stronger strength than Warrod, ranked third.

If the A-rank two-star puppet Ace could kill Jose, the sixth of the Ten Wizard Saints, in seconds, then Wolfheim could also instantly kill Jose in seconds.

"Mr. Wolfheim, you saw it, didn't you."

"Although I'm sorry, I still need to trouble you to take this Mr. Ace down."

Watching Ace's back as he turned to leave, Chairman Crawford's expression turned gloomy as he said, "In any case, the face of the Magic Council must not suffer any loss."

As Chairman Crawford's voice fell, an old man about the same size as Makarov walked with his hands behind his back and leisurely blocked Ace's path.

However, compared to Makarov, Wolfheim's eyes were slightly sharper.

"Young people are truly full of youthful vigor."

"But even if you are full of youthful vigor, you need to know the occasion."

Wolfheim looked at Ace in front of him and said faintly, "This is not a place to throw a tantrum. I still suggest you restrain your temper and speak properly."

"Being able to defeat Jose at such a young age is indeed impressive, but there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people."

"There is always someone higher than the highest mountain."

After saying this, a heavy pressure vaguely emanated from Wolfheim's body.

This was the momentum naturally overflowing from a massive amount of magic power ready to be unleashed, representing that Wolfheim, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had prepared to fight Ace.

So far, the only ones who had seen Ace kill Jose in seconds with their own eyes were those present before and Ultear.

Everyone in the Magic Council except Ultear, although they had heard people say that Ace had killed Jose in seconds, all maintained huge doubts about the matter.

"Interesting."

"It seems the Magic Council has really prepared to go to full-scale war with our Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Everyone in the Magic Council seems to have some misunderstandings about me."

Looking at the old man blocking his way, the smile on Ace's face gradually disappeared. He used his index finger to push up his cowboy hat, which had been pulled down a bit, revealing eyes that were also somewhat sharp.

From start to finish, the attitude Ace had shown had been relatively polite and courteous.

However, fundamentally speaking, Ace was never a person with a good temper; it was just because his sworn brother Sabo had an accident that Ace wanted to live on with Sabo's share, so he specifically learned etiquette.

Now, with provocation after provocation, it was naturally impossible for Ace to keep a good temper.

"Forget it, let's sit down and have a good chat later."

Wolfheim looked at Ace, who was now showing his sharp edge, and also smiled helplessly, saying, "As for now, let me witness the strength you used to kill Jose in seconds."

As his voice fell, the entire hall shook violently.

Wolfheim's legs moved and stomped; the marble floor under his feet instantly shattered with a bang. His seemingly thin body actually contained massive power.

Under the reaction force, Wolfheim threw a punch directly at Ace, his speed so fast that only Siegrain and Ultear among those present could barely see some afterimages.

Wolfheim's magic was Beast Soul magic, probably similar to Mirajane's Take Over magic.

However, having cultivated to Wolfheim's current level, he had long since left Mirajane behind by who knows how many streets; it was an existence on a completely different concept.

Even if Wolfheim hadn't formally used magic, his own strength was already extremely close to that of Mirajane at her full power in the later stages of the original work.

It could be said to be quite terrifying.

'Is this the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar?'

'Sure enough, as the legends say, it is a non-human combat power completely different from the bottom six of the Ten Wizard Saints.'

Watching Wolfheim's movements, a trace of shock flashed in Siegrain's eyes.

Siegrain roughly estimated his peak combat power after merging with his main body, and he feared that compared to Wolfheim, there would still be a not-so-small gap.

At the same time, Ultear on the other side also changed color slightly as she looked at the scene before her.

Like Siegrain, although she had long heard of the terrifying strength of the top four Ten Wizard Saints, and even her own guild master Hades had many misgivings, seeing it with her own eyes still shocked Ultear.

At this moment, Ultear also completely understood why all the dark Class Mage guilds, and the three leaders of the dark Class Mage guilds—Tartaros, Grimoire Heart, and Oración Seis—would be suppressed in the darkness and dare not show their faces.

It wasn't just because the Magic Council possessed Etherion.

It was no wonder that Tartaros, Grimoire Heart, and Oración Seis would choose to form the Balam Alliance to jointly resist the Magic Council; it was more because they feared the terrifying power of the top four Ten Wizard Saints on the Magic Council's side.

"The old gentleman's strength is truly terrifying."

Ace looked at Wolfheim, who had instantly pierced through his elementalized body, and said with a smile, "It was really just a little bit, and I would have been hit by you, old gentleman."

"To be able to possess such terrifying power at such an old age, this reminds me of a somewhat terrifying guy."

"That guy is also quite old, yet still terrifyingly strong."

"Every time, he always manages to beat me until I'm covered in bumps."

Saying this, Ace directly used his Observation Haki to predict Wolfheim's movement trajectory, grabbed Wolfheim's ankle, and threw him heavily onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The dull collision sound made the chandeliers in the hall sway slightly.

The hard marble floor was smashed into pieces at the moment of the collision.

However, in the next instant, Wolfheim stood up again as if nothing had happened; although he looked a bit disheveled, there were indeed no injuries on Wolfheim's body.

The heavy smash that looked so powerful just now had no effect on Wolfheim.

"Interesting magic."

"Can it make a Class Mage's body turn into intangible fire?"

Wolfheim glanced at Chairman Crawford not far away, sighed, and said, "What bad luck; this happens to be the type I am least good at dealing with."

As he continued to speak, Wolfheim's physique began to gradually become burly, dense hair began to emerge on his body, and an aura like a prehistoric beast instantly erupted from Wolfheim's body.

The little old man who had looked somewhat kind just now directly turned into a big guy nearly three meters tall.

This was Wolfheim's beast state.

Without any hesitation, Wolfheim still threw a punch at Ace just like before, and Ace, looking at Wolfheim, whose movement trajectory was almost no different from before, frowned slightly.

Ace instinctively felt that if he continued to elementalize his body like before, there would definitely be no good outcome.

Thinking of this, Ace stepped out directly toward Wolfheim and also threw a punch.

The A-rank two-star Ace hadn't just improved in his use of the Mera Mera no Mi; he had also improved significantly in his physical techniques and three types of Haki.

Admiral-level strength isn't just about being good in one aspect; it's about being comprehensive with no weaknesses.

Boom!

The moment Wolfheim's fist collided with Ace's, blood-red light surged from Wolfheim's fist like a surging tide.

At the same time, a dark luster also appeared on Ace's fist; Armament Haki directly wrapped around Ace's arm, colliding with the blood-red light on Wolfheim's fist.

Rolling air waves surged toward the surroundings like a tide, with the collision point of Wolfheim and Ace's fists as the origin.

As if it were a signal, Wolfheim and Ace officially began to fight.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In the eyes of everyone, Wolfheim and Ace's fists directly turned into streaks of afterimages; every collision could cause the atmosphere to vibrate, every collision could cause rolling air waves, making everyone's ears ring.

Invisible air was blasted away, and intangible air currents were cut off.

The constant collisions between Ace and Wolfheim directly formed a vacuum zone that made one's scalp tingle.

Circles of intangible fluctuations swept toward the surroundings, and the entire Magic Council meeting hall began to vibrate and tremble violently.

"Bang!"

Another violent collision sound.

Ace and Wolfheim collided again.

However, the result this time was completely different from the previous stalemate; the Armament Haki on Ace's arm directly shattered the blood-red light on Wolfheim's fist.

In the unbelievable sight of everyone, the beast-formed Wolfheim directly stumbled back a few steps, and a trace of bright red was vaguely revealed in his mouth.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 25,487 emotion points!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20,244 emotion points!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 12,547 emotion points!]

'It actually provided so many emotion points.'

'It's just that the number of people watching the battle was a bit small; otherwise, there should have been quite a harvest.'

Inside the small tavern, Lin Cheng looked at the system panel in his mind, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

At this moment, through the previous drama of Blackbeard encountering Ace, and the drama of the Magic Council and Wolfheim, the Heavenly King-level Class Mage, fighting, Lin Cheng had harvested over one million emotion points in total.

Overall, Lin Cheng was quite satisfied.

Once the emotion points exceeded ten million, Lin Cheng would be able to draw another puppet with a guaranteed A-rank rating.
