Chapter 79

On the side of the Akatsuki organization, although magic was faster than ninjutsu in terms of casting speed, thanks to their rich combat experience, this gap no longer existed at all.

Moreover, ninjas did not just focus on ninjutsu; their speed and taijutsu were also extremely formidable.

And these happened to be the weaknesses of the vast majority of mages.

Not everyone was like Natsu, Gray, Erza, and the others, who possessed extremely strong magic while also possessing super-high combat skills.

Therefore, it could be said that most mages lost in this regard.

It is worth mentioning that right now, on the side of the entire Allied Forces, only Makarov and Warrod Sequen were trading blows evenly with their respective opponents.

The center of the battlefield.

"Fall for me!"

With his right hand covered in scales flashing with a cold light, Warrod Sequen roared.

Take Over magic allows one to receive the power of monsters or animals and use it for oneself.

It can be divided into "Partial Take Over," which only receives a part of the target's body, and "Full Body Take Over," which receives the target completely.

Unlike the targets of others, the target Warrod Sequen received was a dragonoid!

That dragonoid possessed a small portion of a dragon's bloodline within its body.

To receive this dragonoid, Warrod Sequen had paid a great price and endured pain beyond that of ordinary people.

But the sacrifice also gained him extreme power!

Although he only possessed a small portion of a dragon's power, it was enough for Warrod Sequen to become a Wizard Saint, and even one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar!

The only drawback was that using it would place a huge burden on his body, and the magic power consumed was also exceptionally high.

At the same time, it would also consume his lifespan!

Therefore, he rarely used this power in his daily life; even Ace had not forced him to use this power previously.

But at this moment, he used it without hesitation!

From the previous exchange, he felt that the opponent's strength was far greater than Ace's had been.

If he didn't go all out, he feared he would be left here forever this time.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Warrod Sequen disappeared from his spot at a speed almost like teleportation.

When he reappeared, his figure had already arrived behind Nagato Uzumaki.

The speed was so fast it was almost comparable to the Body Flicker Technique of the Naruto world!

"Crushing Fist!"

Throwing his right fist, Warrod Sequen's killing intent surged.

The next moment, his right fist successfully struck Nagato Uzumaki!

"Boom——!"

A massive force erupted, the ground for hundreds of meters instantly collapsed and shattered, and countless fragments of stone exploded outward in all directions along with the eruption of power!

But……

"Still can't hit him!"

Warrod Sequen looked ahead with very gloomy eyes.

It could be seen that at this moment, Nagato Uzumaki, who had been struck by the fist, remained completely motionless!

Even more terrifying was that through his fist, Warrod Sequen vaguely felt a massive force pushing against him.

Unlike the previous large-scale impact, this time he clearly felt an invisible force, as if it were an arm, blocking him. Before Warrod Sequen could think it over, a powerful counter-shock force came from the other side, and Warrod Sequen was sent flying backward, putting a certain distance between himself and Nagato Uzumaki.

Just as Warrod Sequen was preparing to continue his attack, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he turned his head and struck backward violently!

Boom——!

Invisibly, an unknown force collided with Warrod Sequen's fist.

Violent fluctuations erupted from the fist, the ground beneath his feet instantly sank several meters, and the ground shattered instantly!

At the same time, everyone present heard a voice.

"To be unable to finish off an opponent after so long, you are truly not diligent enough!"

"Like this, you will never be able to gain 'her' recognition."

It could be seen that a man who looked clearly mentally unstable and had green hair was standing among the ruins.

The moment she saw this man, Erza, who was fighting her opponent, felt her eyes shrink instantly.

Because she recognized this 'person'.

Although there were some changes from his previous appearance, she could distinguish him by that extremely unique voice and tone!

The person who arrived was none other than the Sloth Sin Archbishop who had appeared during the Phantom Lord incident!

"What's going on? Why did this guy come here!"

"Could it be that there is some connection between the Witch Cult and the Akatsuki organization?"

It must be said that the moment Sloth appeared, the morale of the Allied Forces, which was already not high, plummeted instantly.

As a character who appeared at the very beginning, although Sloth had not appeared many times, the memory he left in everyone's hearts was indeed very profound.

"The Witch Cult, the Sloth Sin Archbishop?"

On the other side, Warrod Sequen, who had blocked Sloth's strike, looked at the other party, his brow filled with deep worry.

Ever since his last fight with Ace, he had also deliberately kept an eye on news about Ace.

He naturally had heard a little about the opponents who had fought Ace.

Although he was 'killed' by Ace, the one that was 'killed' was only a clone.

That Ace had once said that the real Sloth's strength was about the same as his.

It was just unexpected to run into the other party here.

From the words just now, it was clear that the other party was definitely standing on the side of the Akatsuki organization; once such a guy joined the battle, it would inevitably lead to the already intense battle becoming even more unfavorable!

Warrod Sequen was wary, but that did not mean Nagato Uzumaki was the same.

Seeing Sloth make a move, Nagato Uzumaki's eyes also darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Sloth, this is an internal matter of our Akatsuki organization; I will not allow you to interfere."

His words carried a tone that brooked no opposition!

It was certain that if Sloth continued to interfere, his opponent would instantly shift from Warrod Sequen to Sloth.

Even if there was some connection between the two!

"Oh my, oh my, don't mind me, I have no intention of interfering, I just saw that you weren't diligent enough and couldn't help but make a move."

As he spoke, Sloth directly found a place that could shelter him from the rain, sat down with his arms crossed, and had no intention of making another move.

Seeing this, Nagato Uzumaki did not speak, but instead turned his gaze back to Warrod Sequen.

And watching this scene, Warrod Sequen's expression was also extremely ugly.

Although Sloth not participating in the battle was a good thing for them, it also meant that Nagato Uzumaki intended to resolve the Allied Forces with the power of the Akatsuki organization alone.

"Unwarranted arrogance will have to be paid for!"

Warrod Sequen was, after all, a Wizard Saint, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar at that.

At this moment, having been treated with such contempt, even though he was already half-buried in the ground, he couldn't help but feel a surge of fighting spirit!

Having experienced several battles, he had gradually figured out the other party's combat style.

That invisible force blocking him could not be used continuously; there was a gap period.

As long as he seized this opportunity, it was not impossible to defeat the opponent!

However……

"Sage Art!"

Before Warrod Sequen could make a move, he discovered that next to Nagato Uzumaki's originally strange eyes, an orange pattern had emerged, and a black line had appeared in the middle of his eyes!

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
