"Oh, damn it!"
Qi Yan took a step forward with his left foot, then exerted force, and the entire train engine was thrown by Qi Yan towards Erigor.
Whoosh—!
The train engine, like a high-speed train traveling at hundreds of kilometers per hour, crashed directly into Erigor.
"Demonic Wind Palm!!"
Erigor's expression changed drastically, and he raised his palm, releasing a powerful tornado.
Boom—!
The tornado slammed into the train engine, slightly slowing down its oncoming speed.
Erigor also took advantage of this time to quickly dodge.
Whoosh—!
The train engine narrowly grazed over Erigor's head. Its terrifying speed made him feel a surge of fear; if he had taken such a hit head-on, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
"Monster!"
Erigor looked at Qi Yan, a deep wariness flashing in his eyes. To be able to lift a train engine, and even throw it so high and so far—what else could he be but a monster?
"Oh, you missed again! Your luck is really good!"
Qi Yan's contemptuous tone infuriated Erigor: "You damn bastard!! Don't be too arrogant!! Now I'm getting serious!"
Erigor crossed his arms and roared: "Storm Armor!!"
A large amount of strong wind began to rotate rapidly around Erigor's body. Soon, an armor formed by the storm wrapped around Erigor's body.
"Wow! This looks a bit interesting."
"Hmph! Take this!!"
Erigor's body plummeted towards Qi Yan's position like a power drill.
Qi Yan lightly tapped his toes, his body floating backward.
Boom!!!
The spot where he had just been was drilled into a large hole by Erigor.
"Hmph! Trying to escape? In my assassination career, no one who has seen this magic of mine has ever survived!!"
"Storm Crush!!"
Erigor raised his hand and released a large number of wind blades. This time, the wind blades were faster and more numerous.
Qi Yan stood still, wielding the rail he had just pried from the track.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!!
All the wind blades were easily blocked by Qi Yan with the rail.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Storm Crush failed to take down Qi Yan, Erigor waved his hand again, releasing a large number of wind blades.
Qi Yan still effortlessly blocked all the wind blades with the rail, even closing the distance with Erigor while defending.
Just as Qi Yan got close to Erigor.
"Storm Waltz!!"
Fierce winds rapidly blew outwards from around Erigor's body.
Qi Yan, caught off guard, was also blown backward by the wind.
"Did you see?! This is the power of Storm Armor! The wind of Storm Armor blows from the inside out! You cannot get close to me!!"
"What? I thought it would be more impressive, but it's just this?"
Qi Yan had a look of disappointment.
Qi Yan's expression once again stung Erigor's pride: "Damn it! That expression again! You bastard! Since you're looking for death, I'll show you my strongest magic!"
"Take this!! The Wind Soaring Magic that can tear everything to shreds, Verdant Swift."
Erigor brought his index and middle fingers together on both hands, and magic power continuously condensed onto his two fingers.
"No matter how strong you are! Once you are hit by my magic, you will be torn to shreds!!"
"Die!! You damn monster!!"
Erigor crossed his four fingers, and rapidly spinning storms, mixed with sharp wind blades, swarmed towards Qi Yan.
Everything in the path of the storm was shredded.
"Heh!!"
Qi Yan's face showed a slightly excited smile. Instead of dodging, he rapidly spun the rail in his hands.
Boom—!
A violent explosion occurred, destroying everything around.
"Hmph! What 'Tyrant', in the end, didn't he still die by the hands of me, the 'God of Death'? Don't worry, I'll send the old men on their way to join you soon, with Lullaby."
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not dead yet, don't unilaterally claim victory for yourself!"
At this moment, Qi Yan's voice suddenly came from the smoke.
"What?!!"
Erigor's eyes widened as he looked into the smoke in disbelief. He saw a figure standing there, still with that contemptuous expression on his face, and surprisingly, he was completely unharmed.
"No! Impossible! It's impossible for anyone to withstand my Verdant Swift and remain unharmed!! Absolutely impossible!!"
"It seems you only have this much ability. Never mind, I'm tired of playing. It's time to end this boring battle."
Erigor's face immediately became distorted: "Bastard! Don't think you've won just because you withstood my attack. So far, you can't even get close to me…"
Whoosh—!
Qi Yan's body appeared in front of Erigor, holding the rail with both hands, in a baseball batting stance.
Qi Yan curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Can't even get close to what?"
Erigor's pupils constricted. Before he could react, a sharp pain erupted from his abdomen. The stomach acid instantly surged up his throat, his body arched like a cooked shrimp, and tears and saliva mixed as they sprayed from his eyes and mouth.
Bang—!
Erigor's body flew backward rapidly.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
The train carriages were smashed one by one by Erigor, until he finally crashed into a large pit in the carriage and stopped. At this point, Erigor's eyes had rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness.
"Home run!!"
Qi Yan was very satisfied with his strike.
"Uh…Oops! I got carried away and forgot the time again."
"Hey! These guys have all fallen. You should come out too, Lullaby."
Since he recalled this plot, he naturally knew the true nature of Lullaby. This flute was created by Zeref, not considered a demon from Zeref's Book, but rather a failed product, so Zeref simply discarded it after creating it.
Yet, even such a failed product brought endless trouble to this continent.
"…"
The air was quiet for a moment. Qi Yan just quietly watched where Erigor had fallen.
Suddenly!
A three-eyed skull flute flew out from Erigor's body.
"Hehehe!! You actually discovered me! What a bunch of useless trash!!"
"I can't stand it anymore. I'll do it myself."
Green smoke emanated from the mouth of the three-eyed skull flute. The smoke quickly took shape, and a giant monster, dozens of meters tall and seemingly made of tree roots, appeared before Qi Yan.
Kagayama, who had woken up, was completely stunned by the sight of this giant monster, his face filled with fear as he said, "This… what is this? I didn't know such a thing existed!!"
"I'm so hungry. Let me taste your souls!!"
The monster opened its huge mouth, intending to use Lullaby magic.
Pfft!!
But as soon as it opened, a rail shot directly into the monster's mouth, piercing through the back of its head.
"Sorry! Excuse me for interrupting, but your voice is too unpleasant, so your singing must also be very unpleasant. Of course, there's no problem with you singing, but coming out to annoy people is not right."
