Red light particles appeared and gathered. A deep red armguard, as if watered with blood, appeared, a verdant gem shining with dazzling luster, and beast-like claws slightly bent. From summoning to manifestation was just a matter of thought.
Rayn's eyes were locked on the speeding Laxus. The hand wrapped in the blood-red armguard clenched into a fist, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his waist twisted as he threw a straight punch.
Laxus's figure appeared in front, his fist, wrapped in lightning, also happened to swing out at this time.
"Boom!"
A red and a golden fist collided, making a dull and powerful sound. A visible shockwave of air erupted from the point of contact. Red magic power surged like flames. Golden arcs of electricity shot out like slithering snakes.
Two slightly immature but extremely violent magic powers collided. Under the strong recoil, the ground under their feet immediately sank.
Behind the red 'flames,' Rayn's face was excited. Behind the golden arcs, Laxus's face was twisted. As a Dragon Slayer, his physical fitness was extremely strong. But he was still very young. Hitting his flesh and blood against a Sacred Gear made Laxus's expression twist. However, not wanting to lose his momentum in front of Rayn, he quickly composed himself and pretended to be indifferent. But he could faintly hear the sound of him sucking in a cold breath.
"If you say so, I can not use this," Rayus said, a playful smile on his lips, naturally noticing Laxus's condition.
"Hmph! It's completely painless and itchy!" Laxus snorted disdainfully. Not to mention that with his personality, he wouldn't be able to say such a thing. Furthermore, Rayn's magic was Requip magic. If he couldn't even use a magic tool, Laxus wouldn't feel happy about it.
"Is that so? Then you can just grit your teeth and bear it." Rayn had naturally expected his response. What he said just now was just a joke.
Laxus's magic was lightning attribute magic. If he didn't summon the Boosted Gear, Rayn didn't want to face him head-on. Otherwise, if a punch came, he would still need to use his magic power to resist it, to prevent the lightning from making his muscles stiff. It was just a waste of his magic power.
"You're the one who's going to get beaten!" Laxus did not show any weakness and chose to fight back. His magic power at this time was even more surging, and golden lightning continued to shoot out. The force in front of his fist immediately increased further.
Rayn did not choose to evade. The magic power in his body flowed crazily. The deep red magic power, infected by the Boosted Gear, became more inflated and boiled! In just a moment, Rayn's arm seemed to be wrapped in a crimson flame.
"These two's magic power is really impressive. They're both stronger than us."
"Am I already old?"
"Laxus is one thing, but why is even little Rayn so strong!?"
"Nonsense, while you were drinking in the guild, little Rayn was always training."
"No... even with training, this rate of improvement is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"
On the hillside, the watching guild members' expressions were hit hard by the two violent magic powers.
"That magic weapon..." Makarov looked at the armguard on Rayn's right hand, his eyes becoming deep. The others didn't know, but he knew what Rayn's real magic was. That armguard, which looked like a dragon, was definitely not a coincidence.
"This child's magic power is really amazing," Gildarts said, his arms crossed. Although he didn't know the specific situation, Rayn's magic power surprised him. The intensity of his magic power was naturally very weak compared to his. But its essence gave him a strange feeling.
And after a brief stalemate in the field, Laxus noticed that the force from Rayn's side was becoming more and more powerful. His feet, which were stuck in the grass, were now sinking deeper. He even had a tendency to retreat.
"What's going on with this guy!? I can't continue like this!" His mind immediately turned, and he extinguished the thought of continuing to struggle. If this continued, he would definitely be the one to lose. Thinking of this, Laxus directly retracted his fist and pushed out his empty left hand.
A complex golden magic circle unfolded, and a golden beam of lightning roared out from it. Lightning magic was originally famous for its power and speed. At close range, the speed of this lightning beam was even more astonishing. Almost at the moment the beam appeared, it was in front of Rayn.
"Tch," Rayn sneered. He had noticed it when Laxus chose to give up the struggle. But at this distance, even if he was prepared, he couldn't easily dodge the lightning. What's more, Laxus would watch him dodge. Or rather, as long as he dodged, he would take the opportunity to pursue and launch a crazy attack.
But...
Since he couldn't dodge, then he wouldn't dodge! His gradually rising emotions made a flame seem to burn in his pupils. The clenched fist turned into a claw and swung directly at the roaring beam of light. The air seemed to be unable to withstand it and made a hissing sound. The red marks on the tips of his claws left traces in the air, like five streams of light.
"Boom!"
The sharp claws and the lightning beam collided, making a loud noise. A surging airflow suddenly burst out from the middle, making Laxus, who had just stood firm and was ready to pursue, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, a look of shock flashing in his heart.
He had thought that Rayn would dodge, and he had also thought that Rayn would use that weapon to block. He had thought of follow-up pursuit methods for both. But he really didn't expect Rayn to solve his magic in this way.
What shocked Laxus even more was that in his slightly narrowed vision, the sharp claws, like tearing a curtain, actually tore his lightning apart! The torn magic turned into an even more surging airflow and rushed in all directions.
The golden lightning lost control and turned into arcs of lightning and scattered in all directions. The grass under his feet immediately showed one charred pit after another. In an instant, this place became a cage wrapped in lightning.
And in this cage, a deep red, almost eerie 'flame' tore through the lightning like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Laxus. Rayn's fist, wrapped in the armguard, was retracted behind him, his waist slightly twisted. His body was like a tight spring.
Laxus's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinprick. Almost without time to think, a golden magic circle suddenly appeared around him.
The next moment, the deep red fist swung out like a cannonball. The air in front seemed to be squeezed to the point of showing a visible distortion.
Just as the fist was about to touch Laxus, his body immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and sped backwards. In just an instant, he was more than ten meters away.
And Rayn's fist suddenly missed. The shockwave, which had been squeezed to the extreme, flew a certain distance before exploding into a strong wind and dissipating.
