Chapter 81 Gajeel Questions Life
Chapter 81 Gajeel Questions Life
Feeling the waves of pain transmitted from the fist, Gajeel couldn't help but break out in a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly withdrew his arm, which had turned into an iron pillar, and rolled over a few times to distance himself from Chess.
After ensuring his safety, he recognized the person and shook his hand, grinning maliciously, "Heh heh, a formidable fellow has arrived."
Although I was surprised that Chase would suddenly appear here, and although the pressure he exerted was far greater than that of the three trash.
Kagajeru remained incredibly arrogant, or rather, excited.
They were all S-rank mages from Fiore's strongest guild, and he had long wanted to test his skills against established figures like Chess and Erza.
After all, he was a Dragon Slayer Mage as stubborn and warlike as Natsu. If Jose hadn't repeatedly emphasized that they should follow the plan, he really would have gone and attacked Chess House!
"That, that man, it's Chess, Chess from Fairy Tail!"
In contrast, the accompanying Sabertooth Dragon was much more flustered, his eyes filled with fear, and he had a strong desire to retreat.
For Sabertooth, which is still a third-rate guild, a mage like Chess is definitely a "legendary figure"!
"Useless trash, it's just Chess, why are you so scared!"
Gajeel's face darkened, and he swung his Iron Dragon Staff backhand, sending the enemy flying.
Influenced by the Spectre Guild's atmosphere, he could attack his own guild members without mercy, let alone Sabertooth, who was just cannon fodder.
"Someone who didn't appear in the original work? That emblem is..."
Chase narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the extra who had fallen heavily to the ground and was unconscious.
By the dim moonlight, he could make out the shape of the emblem that the other person had branded on his chest.
"The Saber-Biting Tigers, how did they get involved with the Spectres?" Chase wondered to himself.
It's obvious that the reason for this deviation from the original story is mostly because he beat up Germain during the last chairman's meeting.
Before Chess could figure out the details, a dark figure suddenly attacked—Gajeel, who could no longer contain himself, rushed over with a maniacal laugh.
"Hehehe, since you've willingly come out to die, then I'll use you as my first victim, Chess!"
Gajeel, in his sprinting state, leaped into the air, a blue magic circle lit up, and his right arm immediately transformed into a high-speed spinning serrated greatsword.
"Iron Dragon Sword!"
A cold light fell rapidly from mid-air, striking directly at Chess.
Boom!
The fierce slashes and impacts erupted simultaneously, cutting the ground into countless fragments, which then shattered into dust that filled the sky.
Two figures emerged from the depths of the rising dust.
Chase held Levy's belly and lifted her up like a child, landing safely on the ground.
"Chase, Jett, he..."
Troy rushed over, concerned about Jett's sudden disappearance.
"It's alright. I used card magic to switch places with him. He's with Natsu and Erza now."
Chase gently put Levy down and gave a brief explanation.
Upon hearing this, the two who had been looking worried finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys step back a little, I'll play with that piece of scrap metal for a bit."
Chess looked up and saw Gajeel standing on the broken street, his head slightly tilted back, his cheeks puffed out.
A storm of surging magic power formed around him, constantly converging and compressing towards the cyan magic circle at his mouth.
When that magical power reached its peak, Gajeel suddenly opened his arms and mouth, pouring out all his energy without reservation.
"Iron Dragon's... Roar!!"
A burst of breath mixed with high-density black iron sand erupted.
Wherever it passed, sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the stone bricks paving the streets were all lifted up, crushed into powder and disappeared without a trace!
"The same magic as Natsu?!"
Levy and Troy were stunned and stood frozen in place, their bodies stiff.
Chase calmly took a deep breath, stepped forward to face the first fierce hurricane, and gripped the right wrist of the sealed one.
"Magnolia is not for outsiders like you to disrupt..."
The bronze-colored arm rattled the broken iron chains, and in the instant before being engulfed by the iron sand breath, Chase threw a simple, unadorned punch.
boom!!
In an instant, the force of the punch surged, and the impact spread in all directions.
The seemingly unstoppable roar of the iron dragon was shattered by a single punch, turning into countless flying iron sands!
"How is this possible?! You so easily silenced my roar..."
Gajeel's breath hitched, and he stared incredulously at Chess, who was slowly retracting his fist at the end of the broken street.
After all, the initial provocation was aimed at starting a full-scale war. Phantom Lord had been conducting intelligence gathering on Fairy Tail's main members for a long time, with S-class members being a key target.
Therefore, Gajeel knew very well that the Duelist Chase's greatest strength lay in the ever-changing and incredibly powerful card magic.
Although intelligence indicates that the opponent also possesses considerable martial arts skills, the fact that one punch could shatter one's own roar...
"What a joke!!"
Perhaps realizing the vast difference in strength between them, Gajeel, who had always considered himself the "Ace of Ghosts," completely broke down, his defenses crumbled, and he was enraged, unable to accept this outcome.
buzzing.
The raging blue magic surged out wildly, and with the support of the magic circle beneath his feet, his skin rapidly turned to iron at a visible speed, revealing a grid-like pattern resembling the scales of an iron dragon.
What followed was a heavy and oppressive aura of power.
"Someone as strong as you is more valuable to crush."
Gajeel, now in his strongest mode, felt a surge of confidence. He extended his dragon-scaled arm, beckoned to Chess, and sneered, "Come and fight to your heart's content, Fairy Tail!"
Ugh……
Faced with his surging fighting spirit, Chase sighed with slight disappointment.
He originally intended to try and get a new card and prepare for a "fierce battle" with Gajeel.
Judging from the magical energy he's releasing, Gajeel's level is now about the same as Natsu's.
Without considering his special ability to unleash his full potential, he might be slightly stronger than Natsu.
However, at this level, there's definitely no hope of getting a full card.
"You card-playing jerk! How dare you look down on me..."
Gajeel, seeing Chase's lackluster expression, instantly exploded in anger, "I'm the Iron Dragon Slayer Mage of Phantom Assassin!!"
He roared and stomped his feet so hard that they shattered the ground, generating explosive power to push his speed to the limit, turning him into a blur of steel.
however……
Holy light shone, illuminating the dark city streets.
Three dazzling lightsabers, faster than Gajeel, descended from the sky and hovered around him!
The lightsaber swayed slightly, continuously releasing restrictive power.
"Damn it, why can't I move?! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"
Gajeel was shocked and unleashed his power, struggling frantically in an attempt to break free from the inexplicable restraints binding him.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge the lightsaber at all—the difference in magical power between the two sides was too great!
"How could this be? They're both S-rank, how could the difference be so huge?!"
Chess, who strolled leisurely over the broken stones and bricks, appeared to Gajeel as a terrifying monster with bloodshot eyes.
He had only felt this kind of oppressive feeling from one person since leaving his adoptive father, Iron Dragon Medalicana.
That was Joseph Paula, the guild master of the Phantom Lords and one of the Ten Wizard Saints...
"It's not that I'm underestimating you, but you're so weak right now that I have no interest in you, Gajeel."
After saying this, Chess stopped in his tracks, not giving Gajeel a chance to continue speaking, and slowly raised the right wrist of the sealed one.
Boom!
A dull thud resounded, and the ground was smashed into a deep crater riddled with deep cracks!
Iron filings flew everywhere, and Gajeel was instantly brought back to normal, lying in the deep pit in a spread-eagle position, twitching twice, then his neck tilted to the side and he fainted on the spot.
