Unlike the shocked onlookers, Laxus was suffering in silence. In the beginning, he acted this way out of his pride of not wanting to lose. But as time went on, even with the protection of his magic, their constantly clashing fists couldn't help but bleed.
However, Laxus clearly saw that not only did Rayn not retreat, but the wild smile on his face grew more joyous, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all. And what shocked Laxus even more was that Rayn's punches were getting heavier and fiercer each time!
This bottomless growth woke Laxus from his rage.
"This can't go on," Laxus's eyes flickered, his mind racing. Lightning Body greatly enhanced his physical body, but it also consumed a huge amount of magic power. And he had already used several powerful spells before with no effect, consuming a lot of his magic. Now, after maintaining Lightning Body for only nine seconds, his magic was almost gone. If he dragged it out any longer, he would have no chance of winning.
"One blow! Concentrate all my magic into one blow and crush him!"
With this in mind, Laxus began to act. His concentrated magic power erupted again. The golden lightning on his retracted fist became denser and more lively, like the chirping of a thousand birds.
"Trying to decide it in one blow? But it's too late..."
Although his emotions were extremely high, Rayn had not lost his reason. He sensed Laxus's intention and spoke in a calm tone that didn't match his expression.
"?"
Laxus was relieved that Rayn still had his reason, but a question mark flashed in his mind, not understanding what was too late.
The green gem on the crimson armguard flashed with light.
"Boost!"
A roar, even more frenzied and excited than Rayn's, echoed in his mind.
"Thump."
Amidst the noisy chirping of a thousand birds, Laxus seemed to hear a dull thud.
The next moment, an even more surging and explosive magic power rose from the boy in front of him!
The crimson magic power rose like a flame, completely enveloping Rayn! The powerful impact directly burst Rayn's black shirt, revealing the muscles that had swelled by a circle.
In the crimson flames, Rayn's black hair flew, and a crimson dragon seemed to roar in the depths of his bright eyes.
"Chirping and chattering is so annoying."
Laxus vaguely heard Rayn seem to say something under his breath, but when he listened carefully, he could only catch the last few words. He was a little confused.
As for Rayn, after this period of training and Kanna's feedback, his physical fitness had improved by a large margin. He could already withstand the second boost. But along with the second boost came the intermittent murmurs like an electric current. It was the curse of the successive hosts of the Boosted Gear after they died. It gradually became clearer with the continuous boosts. It was a curse that could affect the host's will.
However, at this time, Rayn's emotions were high, and his hot will, like a burning flame, directly burned the power of those wills to ashes. What was left was just noise to Rayn.
Almost as he made a sound of impatience, the consciousnesses of those curses seemed to be stunned for a moment. This was the first time they had encountered a host in this mental state. When they came back to their senses and wanted to continue the curse, they dissipated like snow in the hot sun in that hot will.
Of course, they were not destroyed. It was just that the current boost rate was too low, and they could only hide. They would wait for Ray-n to use his bare hands more and more profoundly, and the connection became more and more dense, and then they would act again. At that time, he would understand their pain.
"Hahaha!"
In the sea of consciousness, Ddraig's excited laughter echoed through the sky, and her huge pupils reflected Rayn's figure. She was becoming more and more fond of this host.
The matter in the sea of consciousness was just a flash. In reality, the crimson magic power that shot straight up from Rayn had already reached its peak. The growth of his magic power and physical fitness had also reached an astonishing level. Of course, in return, his stamina and spirit were rapidly consumed.
"Then let's decide the winner with this move!"
Rayn's whole body's magic power contracted and gathered in his fist. But because he couldn't control the soaring magic power precisely enough, there was still crimson magic power remaining on his body, as if he was wearing a red dress.
A shocking magic wave immediately emerged from Rayn's body. The 'flame' made of crimson magic on his fist was surging, and the shape of his fist could hardly be seen clearly.
And Laxus opposite him, his momentum had already reached its peak. Streaks of lightning flashed on his right fist, almost like plasma. Although he knew in his heart that he had failed this time, his pride would not allow him to flee without a fight.
"!"
"What's going on with Rayn!?"
"Didn't he just increase it once before!? Can he increase it again!?"
"What a joke!"
"Even cheating isn't like this!"
The soaring magic power made everyone in the field immediately let out a surprised sound. For the residents, they just felt that Rayn looked more conspicuous. But for them, who were mages, this was simply a violation of the rules. The previous boost was barely acceptable, but now it could soar again. They began to suspect that they were not yet awake, or whether they were living in the same world as Rayn.
"The effect of that magic tool is even more powerful than I thought," even Gildarts and Makarov couldn't help but look surprised at this time. They were well-informed, but they only saw ordinary things. This kind of thing only existed in stories about cheating items.
At the same time, they also began to prepare to be ready to receive him at any time. It was just that the object had become Laxus. After all, Rayn's magic power at this time completely surpassed Laxus.
The next moment, the fists of the two in the field tore through the air and collided in an instant.
"Boom!"
The two colors of light seemed to contract for a while, then suddenly exploded. The golden lightning was almost eroded by the crimson magic in a defeated state. The violent airflow, accompanied by the crimson magic, swept out in all directions. And Laxus's body was sent flying like a cannonball. His right fist was bent irregularly. Before he could land, he was caught by Makarov's giant hand.
After a quick scan, he was relieved. Although the hand looked awkward, it was just a fracture. For a mage, it was a minor injury. As for fainting, it was just because of the consumption of magic power and the final impact. He would wake up in a short while.
His gaze then turned to Rayn's location. The grand momentum had already subsided, leaving only a large area of plowed soil. The fresh smell of grass and the smell of charred black mixed and spread. In the black soil was the black-haired boy with his upper body bare and his right arm wrapped in a crimson armguard. Crimson magic power wrapped around him, as if he was wearing a red dress.
