Chapter 320: The long-awaited battle! Laxus vs. Jellal
Laxus has wanted to have a serious fight with Killer and Mistgang for a long time.
He went to Kira to seek revenge for the defeat many years ago; he went to Mistgang to see who was better and prove his strength and status in the guild.
However, this idea has never been realized.
In the past few years, Kira was a stay-at-home and Mistgang was always elusive, and both of them ignored him. Laxus couldn't find any opportunity, and there was nothing he could do.
He had finally made an appointment with Kira to compete at the Harvest Festival, intending to win first place in the "Guild War", but in the end he didn't make it to the semi-finals for various reasons, and he didn't defeat either of them.
Instead, Kira and Mistgang, the two people who had always avoided fighting, fought each other. As a result, with this opportunity, the two of them actually gave the audience an illusion show!
After hearing this, Laxus was furious, especially towards Mistgang: When I came to your house, you refused to fight with me, saying that you had no interest. But when you were behind my back, you fought with me more happily than anyone else, right?
Later in the White Forest, I thought that since Killer had turned evil, I could fight him. There was a Mystergan's isomorph Jellal on the other side, so I could fight him. But...
Who would have thought that 'Nirvana' could be a means of transportation?
Once the opportunity is missed, it can never be found again!
Later, Mistgon returned to Edlas, where he had completely lost his magic power, and Laxus could no longer compete with him; and Kira disappeared and went to Demisol Academy. When he finally came back, he was busy with the S-level assessment.
If Laxus had been waiting for half a year for the battle with Killer, then he had been waiting for two or three years for the battle with Mystogon, and he could never wait any longer.
So at this moment, the battle of Laxus is magnificent!
…
"What's going on with these two people?"
At the top of the Sirius tree, Kira held the binoculars in his hands, muttering to himself, "Could it be that Laxus really can't get over this face in his life?"
"Why? Jealous of his handsomeness? Laxus shouldn't be the kind of person who cares about such things, right? Hmm... there must be something fishy here! Let me take a look..."
…
The two figures faced each other, their eyes intertwined and created hot sparks in the air.
The magical pressure that erupted outside rubbed against each other, squeezing the already mixed air even heavier. Magic particles that were difficult to discern with the naked eye caused natural matter to change, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.
Jellal's familiar yet strange face finally made Laxus's long-suppressed desire for battle erupt. Without thinking too much, he said bluntly: "Since you admit that you are a member of the 'Devil's Heart' and an invader, then I will treat you as an enemy!"
"Come on! I'm ready!" Gerard also used his luck and magic, ready for battle.
Hearing Jellal's voice, Laxus sneered: "You have already failed twice, and you still dare to declare war on Fairy Tail. Should I praise you for not giving up after repeated failures, or do you know how to live or die?"
In response to such a provocation, Jellal just looked at Laxus quietly, without saying a word, thinking: "I didn't lose to you, what are you so proud ?"
In fact, Kira overlooked a very important point about Jellal, that is: the current Jellal, unlike the original work, did not have a series of experiences such as "being saved from amnesia", "fighting side by side", "reflecting in prison", and "deciding to atone for sins"; he was just influenced by "Nirvana", knew right from wrong, good from evil, and decided to rewrite and return to the right path.
The latter, that is, the present, is undoubtedly much tougher in character and behavior than in the original timeline.
Suddenly, the magic power changed suddenly!
A flash of golden lightning split the battlefield, accompanied by a sharp and piercing sound of electricity, and a loud explosion occurred where the two men were standing, causing smoke and dust to fill the air and yellow sand to fly!
At the same time, the meteor fell backwards, creating a hot invisible airflow in the air. Its speed was as fast as thunder, but its momentum was more restrained.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The movement trajectories of thunder and meteors were irregular. They appeared and disappeared in the air, sometimes up and sometimes down. After several confrontations, there were continuous short, rapid and heavy hitting sounds. It was completely different from the scene that should appear in the battle of ordinary wizards. Instead, it was more like the close combat of warriors dueling with fists hitting each other.
BANG!!!
A moment later, the last punch sounded, and Laxus and Jellal reappeared with their arms crossed and hitting each other.
A black cloak slowly fell from midair, with magical electricity still wrapped around it. Its two long sleeves fluttered freely in the whirlwind generated by the collision of magic, just like its owner's arrogance and unruliness; the fluff on the cloak swayed in the wind, as if cheering for the battle that had finally arrived.
The four eyes, less than 30 centimeters apart, saw the opponent's strong fighting spirit in the intersecting vision .
Suddenly, Laxus and Jellal stopped at the same time, retreated quickly, and then attacked again!
Laxus punched rapidly with both fists, using only 50% of his strength in each punch, and retracted his fists before the attack was over, ensuring the duration of the attack. For a moment, the wind from his fists was whistling, and the shadows of his fists were endless.
In the few daily guild fights he occasionally participated in, even a lighter punch than this, using only 30% of the force, was strong enough to knock Natsu to the ground with one move.
At this time, Gerard, who was fighting with him, was able to handle the dense fist shadows with ease.
His body moved left and right , dodging the oncoming punches, and he stepped back rapidly without showing any sign of dejection or panic.
Unlike Laxus's attacking style that abandons defense, Jellal's fighting style is both offensive and defensive. His extraordinary dynamic vision and reaction nerves allow him to deal with Laxus's brutal and domineering punches.
Jellal's eyes kept moving, and his raised arms sometimes blocked and sometimes counterattacked through the fist shadows, and his target of counterattack was also his opponent's face.
The two men were like opponents who had long been annoyed with each other's faces. Every punch they threw was aimed at the other's face, eyes, chin, nose and other parts, as if they would not stop until they sent the other to the plastic surgery hospital.
Fortunately, Laxus and Jellal originally had similar strengths, and the combat power they displayed at this moment was also similar, which saved the time and money of plastic surgery later.
On this side, the black tight vest that seems to be size "S" sets off Laxus's chest muscles, abdominal muscles and mermaid lines. His strong physique is an excellent magic weapon to attract women of all ages.
Kira, who was watching the two fighting from afar, sighed: "No wonder Laxus was so popular in the 'Blue Pegasus' in the original work, and even became a signature. Hehehe..."
On the other side, Jellal, who was wearing a blue hooded shirt, looked thinner, weaker and shorter than Laxus, but he was slightly better than Laxus in responding to attacks during the fight between the two.
"No wonder Jellal can become the 'Holy Ten'. I used to think he was only good at magic, but now it seems that his close combat is at least as good as Gray's..."
Unknowingly, Gray became a unit used by Kira to measure combat power.
The battle between Laxus and Jellal developed very quickly, and in less than two minutes, four fists were no longer enough, so four legs were added to the battle.
Fists, chop palms, elbow strikes, hooks, kicks, knee strikes...
The moves used in turn are both attacks and blocks.
As figures crossed each other, the two sides switched offense and defense several times, causing the battlefield to continue to expand, and the power in their hands gradually increased.
But Jellal kept his main purpose in mind and did not use his full strength. Naturally, he did not use magic such as "Star Collapse" and "Seven Star Sword". The most he used was a "Meteor" move to attack from behind.
Xus also saw that Jellal was holding back. He was not an idiot, and he quickly realized that there might be something fishy going on. He then thought about the effect of Nirvana, Kira's information, the attitude of Erza and the others when they returned after Nirvana, and the gossip circulating in Magnolia and the guild...
A bold guess, but not far from the truth, emerged in his mind.
