"So strong—!"
When Natsu saw the power of Qi Yan's attack, his hair stood on end, and intense flames erupted from his head.
Natsu's eyes were filled with shock and excitement; it was powerful, truly too powerful. The moment Qi Yan swung that blade, he felt as if the sky itself had been split open.
The previous characters Qi Yan had taken on gave him different feelings. Ulquiorra made him feel comprehensive, with very strong overall abilities.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi gave him a sense of danger; every time he saw Tsugikuni Yoriichi's eyes, he felt a chill down his neck.
Fushiguro Toji was the character he had suffered the most from taking on. In that form, Natsu felt like Qi Yan was a humanoid Giant Dragon.
Ace was his favorite; the raging flames were something he tasted once and could never forget.
As for this old man in the form of Whitebeard, Natsu only felt two words from him—powerful.
Unrivaled power.
One strike, splitting mountains, severing seas.
It was truly too strong, too strong.
Undoubtedly, this was the strongest character he had seen Qi Yan take on so far.
Lucy and Happy were also somewhat stunned. They had already thought Qi Yan was as strong as a monster when he took on the 'Tyrant,' but upon seeing Qi Yan take on Whitebeard, they realized that Qi Yan actually had an even stronger transformation.
And this transformation was truly terrifying; they couldn't imagine such a powerful human existing.
Sherry and her two companions were now slumped on the ground. The previous attack wasn't aimed at them, they were merely slightly affected by the aftermath, but after seeing the terrifying destruction Qi Yan caused, the three had long lost their will to fight.
They looked at Qi Yan with terrified expressions. If the difference in strength wasn't significant, they might try to fight, but at this point, the gap in power between the two sides was so vast that any resistance would be meaningless.
Just as Qi Yan and Sherry's group of three were in a standoff...
Gray and Lyon were also fighting.
"Lyon, do you know what you're doing?! Ur sacrificed her life to seal Deliora! Yet you still want to destroy what Ur left behind!"
Gray angrily questioned Lyon.
Lyon removed his helmet, revealing his true face: a cool, handsome man with light blue hair.
"How did you get amnesia, Gray? I remember Ur was killed by you. How can you live so shamelessly? If you have any sense of shame, then don't get in my way. I'm going to revive Deliora."
"I won't let you succeed."
"Alright then, let's settle this."
"Ice-Make: Eagle!"
Lyon raised his hand and created a large number of ice eagles, which flew rapidly towards Gray.
"Ice-Make: Ice Shield!"
Gray quickly conjured a shield to block in front of him.
The ice eagles swiftly bypassed the ice shield and struck Gray.
"Ugh!"
Gray let out a painful cry.
Lyon said indifferently, "You specialize in'static' Molding Magic, and I specialize in 'dynamic' Molding Magic. Did you forget that my magic moves?"
"Ice-Make: Hammer Soldier!"
Gray, in a disheveled state, burst out of the ice and quickly cast his magic.
A giant ice hammer formed above Lyon's head and smashed down towards him.
Lyon calmly raised his finger: "Ice-Make: Great Ape!"
A giant ice ape was created, raising its arms to block above Lyon's head.
Crack—!
The Great Ape's arms and the ice hammer shattered together.
Lyon said disdainfully, "It's simply no match. You're still the same as before, casting magic with both hands."
"Ur taught us this, didn't she? Single-hand molding makes it easy to lose balance!"
"I'm different. My ability has long surpassed Ur's."
"Don't be so conceited."
"The same goes for you. From childhood until now, have you ever hit me once?"
"I'm not the same as before!"
"Ice Geyser!"
Gray pressed both hands on the ground, and a large amount of ice surged upwards from beneath, like a spring.
Crackle, crackle—!
Lyon used the same magic with one hand to completely nullify the Ice Geyser released by Gray.
"It's the same. I'm your senior, I'm stronger than you. I can do single-hand molding, you can't. Nothing has changed. Although we chose different paths, time seems to have frozen in the past."
Lyon raised his palm, and an ice dragon roared up from the ground, sending Gray flying.
"Ugh—!"
Gray fell heavily to the ground.
"Ur is my goal. Surpassing Ur is my dream, but this dream was taken from me by you. I can no longer surpass Ur, so there's only one way: Deliora, whom even Ur couldn't defeat. If I can defeat it, then I will have surpassed Ur, and my dream will be realized." Lyon's expression at this moment had fallen into a frenzy.
Gray listened to Lyon's words in disbelief: "Are you serious? Is this your true purpose? You should know how terrifying Deliora is. Stop, it's impossible!"
Lyon's face became distorted as he listened to Gray's words.
Boom!
A large amount of ice rose from beneath Gray's feet.
"Ugh—!"
"You tell me to stop, you say it's impossible?! We told you the same thing back then, you haven't forgotten, have you? It's because you wanted to challenge Deliora that Ur died! You have no right to say Ur's name! Get lost! Get lost!"
Suddenly!
Rumble—!
A violent sound erupted, catching Lyon's attention. Lyon looked in the direction of the sound and his pupils constricted. He saw an extremely shocking scene.
A giant mountain in the distance was split in half by one strike, and the distant sea was also torn apart.
"This... what is this?"
This destructive power had exceeded Lyon's concept of magic.
Qi Yan noticed the situation here and walked over step by step. As he passed Lyon, Lyon's spirit immediately tensed up. He felt as if a terrifying monster had walked past him; he had never experienced such a dangerous feeling before. He resisted the urge to attack.
Qi Yan came before Gray, a smile on his face: "You're so weak, beaten so badly, and you said cool things like 'I'm your opponent.' How long has it been and you're already knocked down?"
...
Gray had nothing to say about this; he had indeed lost, and lost badly.
At this point, Qi Yan's tone shifted: "However! No matter how weak you are, you're a Mage of Fairy Tail. I don't care how I bully you, but I won't allow outsiders to bully you."
