Chapter 495: A Battle Resolved Instantly
The horrifying explosion echoed throughout the entire Galak Island.
Under the combination of three powerful magics of fire, wind and thunder, the boulder was crushed into countless irregular stones. The stones were torn apart by the wind, pierced by thunder, burned by fire, and finally turned into fine dust and blown away by the wind.
"It's Natsu and Laxus?!"
Seeing that the crisis of the huge rock above her head was resolved, Wendy was safe and sound, and her companions arrived, Erza finally put her mind at ease and turned her attention back to Timalia in front of her.
As soon as the boulder disappeared, the spectators, residents and tourists on the street ran away and rushed towards the pier in panic .
Are you kidding me? Who would dare to stay and watch a fight of this magnitude? If they still don't intend to stop, then they will have no chance of survival unless they leave the island by boat immediately.
“Run, run!!”
"It's so exciting to escape death!!"
"I was able to see a battle of this level. This trip was well worth it. I learned a lot!"
"Hey! Stop! You haven't paid yet!"
"Here! I'll give you all the money. No need to give me the change!"
The chaotic crowd dispersed, and in less than half a minute, only the original four people were left on the street, Natsu who had hurried over on the "Harpy", Gray and the Thunder Gods who looked anxious behind him, and Laxus who was shooting towards them from the other side of the street like lightning.
"Natsu-san! Laxus-san!!" With the arrival of reinforcements, Wendy's face lit up with joy and her confidence increased.
Now it’s settled!
We have Laxus, Erza, Natsu and Gray on our side, plus myself and the Thunder Gods to help us, and we still can't take down two Twelve Shields?
We are Fairy Tail!!
But still can't be careless!
"Be careful, Lucy-san has been captured by them!"
"What did you say?!"
How could Natsu bear to see his important companion being captured? His fist was engulfed in flames, and it turned into an afterimage and attacked in the direction of Brandish.
Natsu doesn't have the habit of 'not hitting girls', and neither do Gray, Laxus and others. It should be said that no one in 'Fairy Tail' has this habit, and this is all due to Makarov's proper education.
As long as they are enemies, as long as they touch our guildmates, no matter they are children or old people, kings or beggars, humans or demons, justice or evil, we will not show any mercy!
"You bastard, give Lucy back to me!!"
With magic as fuel and anger as an additive, the blazing flames expanded at an alarming speed amid the slight whistling sound of the wind, instantly occupying the entire street.
"What a strong magic power!" Brandish was shocked, "He is also a wizard of Fairy Tail?! Even though the Emperor and the old man attach so much importance to this guild..."
After a year of training, Natsu's current strength is no longer the same as it was in Tenrou Island. Compared to the Empire chapter at the end of the original work, he is only missing Igner's experience pack and a few months of training; but Brandish is still nearly 7 years away from her in the Empire chapter.
With one increase and one decrease, the overall combat power of the two is now about the same.
In fact, if the protagonists in the original work had not been sealed for seven years, perhaps their magic power would be similar to that of the "Twelve Shields" - as for being able to defeat the "Twelve Shields" in the comics, that was forced cheating and plot killing.
The raging flames burned away all the moisture in the air, turning it into wisps of white mist that rose into the sky, mixed with increasingly thick white smoke, making it difficult to tell whether it was mist or smoke.
However……
whoosh!
After a slight sound, the ball of fire that could be clearly seen disappeared instantly, and Natsu's figure also disappeared. Only a faint residual warmth remained in the air, confirming that this was still Natsu's home court the moment before.
The form magic scored twice and showed its power again!
"Natsu?!!"
"What's going on?!"
Xia Lulu brought Wendy back to the ground and said to them, "Lucy-san just disappeared like this. Erza said they were shrunk!"
"Shrink?!" Several people looked down at the ground, and of course saw nothing. "Hey! Natsu! Lucy! Are you here?"
No one replied.
"Damn it! I'll recover naturally after I kill them!"
At this moment, a rough big hand blocked the four people: "Step aside, leave this woman to me!"
The short blond hair, purple shirt and black coat have a hint of pretense, while the muscular body and abundant magic power reveal the strong strength of the blocker.
"Laxus?!"
The three Thunder Gods showed excitement on their faces at the same time, and they obviously felt that this game was a sure win. After all, in their eyes, there was no enemy that Laxus could not defeat.
What? Kira? He's not the enemy!
What? Acnologia? It's not a human!
"At least let us help? Her magic..."
Laxus said sternly, "No! They are the 'Twelve Holy Shields', powerful wizards who are far stronger than the 'Ten Holy Shields'. You are not opponents who can handle them!"
"The Twelve Holy Shields...are they them?"
Several people whispered quietly , obviously not expecting that among the people standing at the top of the Western Continent mentioned by Laxus and Erza, there would be someone almost as old as themselves.
Gray gritted his teeth and shouted unwillingly: "Since the opponent is so strong, we should stay and help!"
"How much stronger do you think you are than Natsu?"
Gray was silent now.
Laxus's meaning was very clear. Gray's strength had always been not much different from Natsu's. Since the opponent could make Natsu disappear instantly, he could also make him disappear as well, so going up would be like giving up.
"Have you said enough? If you have, I'm going to take action." Brandish announced the start of the battle in a calm and casual tone.
"It won't be that easy for you to succeed!!"
Laxus shouted loudly, and urged his magic power to transform into lightning. In an instant, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared beside Brandish.
He is very fast, even faster than real lightning!
Brandish intended to repeat the same trick, so while Laxus was speaking, she had silently cast the shape magic, but this time she miscalculated, because Laxus's magic power far exceeded that of Natsu and hers, and with her ability she could not shake him at all.
After Laxus's action, she discovered her fatal weakness, which was that her perception and reaction could not keep up with Laxus's speed at all. She could not lock onto the target's position and naturally could not cast magic.
“Oh no!”
Sensing the manic and sharp magic power appearing beside him, Brandish's expression changed drastically, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was unable to react at all.
But the next moment...
BANG!!!
The violent sound of air explosions echoed throughout the street.
Laxus, who was about to succeed, suddenly seemed to have been hit by some powerful attack. He flew backwards and hit the stall on the other side of the street!
Laxus was not the only one who was attacked. Erza, Gray, Wendy, and the Thunder Gods were also attacked. Seven figures, seven attacks, were hit by the same attack in an instant and had no power to resist!
Under the influence of the huge force, people either fell on the empty stalls and were buried by fruits and debris, or fell on the roadside trees and broke them in half, or fell headfirst on the ground and lost consciousness.
But what attracted the most attention was that the clothes of Erza, Alba Green and Wendy were torn to shreds, and even their armors were damaged!
The towering mountains, the majestic blue waves, and the vast grasslands are the endless treasures of the Creator.
Fortunately, there were no other passers-by here, and the men were all lying on the ground, unable to see this rare scene.
“Ah! How could this happen?!”
"In just a moment..."
"What kind of speed is this?!"
“Ahhhh!!”
"What's wrong... I'm sorry!!"
“Wuwuwu…”
“No one is allowed to look!!”
"Damn it! These two guys..."
Dimaria slowly walked to Brandish and whistled wantonly: "You can still stand up? It seems that I really underestimated you just now..."
After that, he hugged Brandish's arm again and touched her emerald green short hair lovingly, "I can't let you hurt my Randy..."
Brandish squinted at her with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Although I am very grateful for your help, can you be faster next time? It is very troublesome to fight with them."
"Okay, okay..."
Feeling the pain in his body, he glanced at Laxus and Erza who were knocked away. Gray looked at the two people with horror on his face, and cold sweat broke out.
"Is this the strength of the Twelve Shields?"
