"What?!"
"Finish me in one hit?!"
"You brat! Just because you landed a slight hit, you're boasting."
"You actually said you'd finish me in one hit? I'd like to see it. How exactly will you finish me in one hit?"
Jose became enraged, dark energy condensing in his hands.
Whoosh!
Takeshi stomped his feet and shot into the sky, clenching his right fist to gather power.
Buzz!
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit condensed into a white, transparent spherical light in his right fist. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power within the light was continuously compressed.
The immense power even caused the space around the light to subtly warp.
Takeshi's body began to fall.
Rumble!
The surrounding space began to tremble.
Everyone felt a terrifying power building up, their hearts involuntarily jumping into their throats.
"This is bad!"
Everyone sensed that the upcoming attack was extraordinary.
Ice-Make: Ice Shield!
Gray conjured an ice shield in front of everyone.
Requip: Adamantine Armor!
Adamantine Barrier!
Erza donned her strongest defensive armor, combining two shields to create a giant green magic barrier.
"Vanish!"
Dead Wave!
A super-strong dark shockwave shot towards Takeshi in the sky.
Takeshi swung his fist, imbued with tremor power, towards the dark shockwave.
BOOM!!!
The two powerful forces collided head-on. Everything around them exploded, and the energy impact scattered outwards, destroying everything in its path.
"Die!" Jose shouted excitedly.
Crack!
The tremor shock shattered and destroyed the dark shockwave, and Takeshi's body continuously approached Jose.
"What?!"
"This is impossible!"
Jose couldn't believe that in a magic duel against a mere brat, his own magic had ultimately lost.
"No! This is absolutely impossible!"
"I said I'd finish you in one hit, and I will."
Takeshi appeared above Jose, his fist still enveloped in the white light.
Crack!
The space in front of his fist shattered.
"AHHHHHHH—"
BOOM!!
Jose was hit by the tremor wave, his internal organs suffering a violent impact, and blood spurted from his nose and mouth.
The ground of the entire Onibus City vibrated violently, as if experiencing a massive earthquake.
After a while, the tremors subsided.
Everyone looked towards the center of the arena.
Upon seeing it, everyone was stunned by the sight: a super-massive crater had appeared in the center of the arena. It was as if a huge meteor had fallen.
In the center of the crater, Takeshi stood, and at his feet lay Jose, the Guild Master of Phantom Lord.
At this moment, Jose was in a very sorry state. His clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, he was bleeding profusely and his body was trembling uncontrollably. He was clearly severely injured.
"Ta... Takeshi... actually... won..."
"Takeshi defeated a Wizard Saint..."
The Fairy Tail members all felt as if they were dreaming.
The Ten Wizard Saints, recognized by the Magic Council as the ten strongest individuals on the Ishgar continent, were all formidable monsters.
They had never imagined a Wizard Saint losing, yet it had happened right before their eyes.
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"Amazing!"
"As expected of Takeshi!"
"He even defeated a Wizard Saint!"
"We won! We defeated Phantom Lord!"
After realizing what had happened, all the Fairy Tail members cheered.
Takeshi's victory also meant that Fairy Tail had won this confrontation against Phantom Lord.
This time, they had truly gotten their revenge. They had thoroughly crushed Phantom Lord. Now, Phantom Lord would no longer be able to act arrogantly in front of Fairy Tail.
"Master Jo... Jose..."
"He actually... lost..."
Equally disbelieving were the members of Phantom Lord.
If Jose had been defeated by Makarov, that would have been one thing, as Makarov was also a Wizard Saint, and an old-timer at that.
But now, Jose had actually been defeated by an unknown young mage from Fairy Tail. How could they believe it?
Just then, the commentator Jabadi squeezed out from among the Fairy Tail members.
"The victor has been decided!"
"Winner: Fairy Tail, Takeshi!!!"
"It's truly unbelievable! Jose, the Guild Master of Phantom Lord, a Wizard Saint, was actually defeated by a young mage from Fairy Tail!"
"He's truly amazing!"
"Fiore's strongest Mage Guild is—Fairy Tail!!!"
"You're still here?!"
The Fairy Tail members were surprised to see Jabadi appear. They had thought the commentator had already run off, but it turns out he had been hiding behind them.
Takeshi said coldly to Jose, "This is a lesson for you. If you dare to provoke Fairy Tail again, I won't hesitate to kill you myself."
Having been in Fairy Tail for a year, he had already become a decisive person. In the anime, Jose didn't just destroy the guild, he had Aria ambush Makarov, draining his magic power, and almost killing him.
He also attempted to kill everyone in Fairy Tail. He remembered that Mirajane was almost crushed to death. Thinking of this, Takeshi couldn't help but want to finish this guy off.
However, this was a public place, and killing him would make things very troublesome with the Magic Council.
Takeshi stepped towards where the Fairy Tail members were.
"Takeshi!"
All the Fairy Tail members happily welcomed him.
"Takeshi! Well done!"
"You even defeated a Wizard Saint! You're incredible!"
"Now let's see if those Phantom Lord bastards dare to provoke us again."
"They'll surely run away with their tails between their legs when they see us. Hahahaha!"
Takeshi came before Makarov, scratching the back of his head, and said, "Sorry, Master, it seems I've caused trouble for you again."
This duel had destroyed the arena in Onibus, and even though he had controlled the power, Onibus City still experienced an earthquake of magnitude four or five. This was no small trouble, and Makarov would surely be scolded again.
Makarov smiled and praised him, "I've said it before, you forge your own path, and you did wonderfully."
Makarov looked at Takeshi with increasing satisfaction. He was powerful, humble, and although he occasionally caused trouble, those were minor flaws. He would step forward in times of crisis, defeat powerful enemies, and was very trustworthy.
"Let's go! We're going home!"
