Takeshi pointed a finger, and the Magic Bullets around him changed direction, rushing towards the numerous Clones.
Boom... Boom...
Many Clones were shattered.
[Rufus -10]
Rufus's elegant expression suddenly froze on his face.
[What?! Rufus's magic attacked a large number of Clones, losing a huge amount of points instantly!]
"How could this be?!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
"Hahahaha!"
"This is Takeshi!"
Whoosh!
The next moment, Takeshi appeared in front of Rufus.
"What?!" Rufus was startled.
"To be honest, I didn't really want to make a move on you, but since you attacked me first, I should respond properly."
Memory-Make: Afterimage!
"You can't attack..."
Slap!
Before Rufus could finish his sentence, Takeshi grabbed his face and pushed him downwards.
Boom!
"Ugh!"
Rufus was teleported away.
Ten seconds later, Rufus respawned near Nullpudding.
"You bastard!"
Nullpudding saw Rufus, who had just attacked him, and immediately swung his arm to attack.
Whoosh!
Takeshi instantly appeared in front of Nullpudding and kicked him in the chin.
"Bastard!"
Nullpudding glared at Takeshi furiously, unwillingly being teleported away again.
Memory-Make: Karma of the Burning Land!
The temperature of the surrounding earth rapidly rose, generating a large amount of lava that submerged Takeshi.
[Ohhhhh! What powerful magic! Takeshi is submerged by lava! As expected of Rufus!]
"Wow! So cool!"
"Amazing! Rufus-sama!"
Just as Rufus thought Takeshi had been teleported away, a figure walked out of the lava step by step, the lava separated by an invisible barrier.
"What?!"
Rufus was startled to see Takeshi completely unharmed.
"What's going on? My magic already hit you, why are you fine?"
"Hmm, simply put, you missed."
"Impossible, my attack just now had no blind spots, and you didn't dodge."
"You touched the infinity between you and me. Let me teach you, stretch out your hand."
Rufus paused, then stretched out his hand, but he found that his palm stopped before it could touch Takeshi's.
"Can't touch it? My hand stopped!"
"It didn't stop, it's more like the closer you get to me, the slower you become, so slow that it's almost like stopping. This is an application of Limitless."
"This is also why your magic and attacks simply cannot touch me."
"No... How could there be such magic?!" Rufus couldn't believe what he had heard.
"What do you want to do? I can just hold your hand like this, you know."
"Let go!"
"Don't be shy. After all, you just made a move on me again."
"Not good!"
Rufus's expression changed, and before he could use magic, Takeshi punched him in the abdomen.
"Ugh!"
Rufus cried out in pain, his body instantly transferring.
"That guy from Sabertooth really doesn't know what's good for him, daring to provoke that monster Takeshi." Lyon shook his head.
He had avoided Takeshi from the start. Although he wanted to compete with Takeshi, now was not the time. Competing with Takeshi at this moment would not be a wise choice.
"This must be what they call ignorance is bliss."
Ivan could only feel sympathy for Rufus's predicament. Who told him to provoke that monster?
"Is that Takeshi? Wow! He's really super terrifying."
Before appearing, Beth was specifically warned by her Guild member Millianna not to provoke Takeshi under any circumstances, as that guy was simply not human.
"Sabertooth has been in first place for so many years, they've gotten a bit too arrogant."
Jäger of Quatro Cerberus had seen the video of Takeshi fighting Jose, a former Wizard Saint. When Takeshi became famous, Sabertooth was still a small Guild.
[Time's up!]
[As expected of Takeshi! The man who could defeat a Wizard Saint seven years ago! Seven years later, he is still the top Mage!]
[With a huge score, far ahead of second place!]
"So... so powerful!"
"Is Fairy Tail that strong?"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
Takeshi had shown them what it meant to dominate.
Rufus of Sabertooth and Nullpudding of Raven Tail were completely suppressed by him throughout the entire match.
Whenever the two appeared, Takeshi would instantly teleport in front of them and attack. Both tried to counterattack, but it had no effect on Takeshi.
Absolutely no power to resist!
The Rufus who used to wreak havoc in the Grand Magic Games was utterly powerless against Takeshi. Anyone could see that the gap was simply too vast.

"Hmm... not bad."
Ooba Babasaama, the Guild Master of Lamia Scale, was uncharacteristically not critical this time, as it wasn't easy to win against a monster like Takeshi.
"Third place? That's not bad either." en looked at the rankings.
Hibiki nodded in agreement. "With that person around, there's no chance of getting first place."
"Fourth place? It's alright."
Araña of Mermaid Heel was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. Out of eight teams in total, fourth place was right in the middle.
Risley laughed. "Haha. Beth tried her best."
Sting patted Rufus on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Rufus, that guy is a monster who defeated a Wizard Saint seven years ago. We'll get your revenge for you."
"Phew... It's nothing. After all, I provoked him first, so being targeted is normal. I just didn't expect him to be so strong, far exceeding my expectations." Rufus didn't seem too dejected.
His previous magic could naturally have avoided Takeshi, but he chose to actively attack Takeshi, partly because he wanted to see how powerful this legendary man was.
However, what he didn't expect was that Takeshi's strength was far greater than rumored. Just this defensive stance, without even displaying any powerful offensive magic, had already left him almost completely defenseless.
It is said that Takeshi has many transformations, and the Whitebeard transformation from seven years ago was very powerful.
"It won't be so easy to win the championship this time."
