Chapter 98

【PS: I saw some readers saying that Aizen Sousuke's strength is a bit weak, so let the author explain here. Right now, Aizen Sousuke is in his S-Class One-Star state, and the One-Star state doesn't have the Hogyoku's augmentation. Even so, Aizen Sousuke without the Hogyoku's augmentation can still crush Jellal. Of course, in a straight fight, Jellal can also exchange a few moves with Aizen Sousuke — Jellal's strength is still very strong. At his peak period, he absolutely had the strength to rank in the top four of the Ten Holy Wizards, very strong. If he got serious seven years later, he feels like he'd have the power of the Twelve Holy Shields level.】

"Since that's the case, then I'll get a little serious as well."

"Ruler of all..."

"Way of Destruction Seventy-Three, Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down!"

It was the first time Aizen Sousuke had spoken the name of a technique aloud.

Aizen Sousuke's voice carried an air of supreme authority, beyond all doubt.

Although Aizen Sousuke could use any Kidō below number eighty-nine through incantation-less casting and still maintain tremendous effect and power, it was very obvious that with the incantation, the specific effect and power would only be greater.

Two azure-blue lights condensed before Aizen Sousuke, and a tremendous pressure suddenly appeared.

Then, the two azure-blue lights merged into one, fusing into a massive pillar of light that surged toward Jellal's position.

"What's going on?!"

"Why does it feel like my body suddenly got so heavy..."

Enduring the crushing weight of Jellal's magic pressure at full burst was already hard enough.

Now that an even greater pressure than Jellal's had appeared on Aizen Sousuke's side, Lucy was caught completely off guard and dropped to her knees on the ground.

"As one of the Ten Holy Wizards, once they go all out, they can cause the heavens and earth to change color."

Erza watched Lucy collapse to the ground, and, bearing the immense pressure, hauled Lucy up from the ground, speaking with some strain: "This is the heaviness brought by magic power."

"Now both sides have gotten serious — the pressure naturally isn't something we can easily endure."

"If our strength were any weaker, we probably wouldn't even qualify to watch the fight."

As she spoke, Erza turned her gaze toward Jellal with a complicated expression.

Looking at Jellal's twisted, sinister expression, Erza felt it was so unfamiliar — clearly, eight years ago, Jellal had been such a gentle person, so gentle to her as well.

"Die for me!"
