Selene said at the time: "Eresh, you must be careful of two people on the West Continent Alakitasia. One is Eileen, my sworn enemy and the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic, and the other is August, known as the 'Magic King'! That guy gives me a very dangerous feeling, facing him is like facing the invincible 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia."
Therefore, Eresh naturally had no intention of challenging the world's top combat power, and she decisively surrendered.
For a moment, only Gildarts and Ur remained on the battlefield.
"Not planning to surrender?!"
Unlike the old and aged 'Magic King' August in the original work, the current August, who had cultivated the three great Slayer Magics to their peak, had snow-white skin like a youth…
Behind him, a Buddha-like halo radiated, giving everyone present a feeling that he could ascend at any moment, along with an overwhelming sense of powerful pressure.
"No matter how strong you are, you have to try, right?!"
Gildarts' eyes flickered with infinite fighting spirit.
Medivh once told Gildarts that once he could defeat August, he could challenge the Hundred Year Quest, which no one had ever completed in a hundred years.
"Come on!"
August smiled. He knew that a top-tier genius like Gildarts, who stood at the pinnacle of a continent, couldn't endure loneliness and always intended to punch at stronger people! Since that was the case, then come on, let him show Gildarts what a true strong person in this world looks like.
"Crush!"
Gildarts didn't hesitate and directly unleashed Crush on August.
In just an instant, August's body was covered with countless grids.
The next second, August's body immediately split into countless pieces.
"August was defeated?!"
Ur couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the scene before him.
"How is that possible?"
Just as Ur thought August had been severely wounded by Gildarts, the very next moment, August, who had been split by Gildarts, suddenly recovered as before…
Immediately after, Gildarts' body suddenly became covered with fine grid patterns.
"Boom!!"
With a loud roar…
Gildarts was instantly crushed into countless fragments by August.
"Gildarts!!"
In the Fairy Tail Guild, Cana, who had just woken up, saw the scene through the crystal ball and let out an incredibly shocked roar. Her eyes were filled with worry for Gildarts! Hmm, although Cana always complained about the scumbag king Gildarts, Gildarts was her Father after all, and she was still very concerned about his safety.
"Rest assured!"
"What I just used wasn't a magic that could kill people."
August seemed to sense Cana's concern. He spoke to the sky, seemingly to himself, yet also seemingly for Cana to hear.
"Damn it!"
"I was actually hit by my own magic…"
"It's infuriating!"
"But August, do you think I'll surrender just because of this?!"
"Don't joke around! Take this!"
"Yes, take this!"
"Crush!!!"
It was precisely the next second after August's words fell that hundreds of small Gildarts suddenly appeared on the ground. These Gildarts, like Natsu before, constantly provoked August, as if they were about to compete with August.
"Good heavens…"
"You even talked about Natsu earlier?!"
"In the end, aren't you just as disgusting?"
August looked at the ground full of Gildarts and said helplessly.
"Crush! Crush him…"
"Watch me!"
Gildarts didn't give August a chance to say more. They had already rushed towards August at high speed, surrounding him from all directions and unleashing magic.
"So annoying!"
Although August timely propped up his protective barrier, there were still some stragglers that passed through his barrier and struck towards his cheek, which made August's forehead covered with bulging veins. In a fit of rage, he shouted loudly, "Forget it, just restore it for me!"
"Boom!!" As August's words fell...
All these countless Gildarts, along with the countless Natsu that Ur had frozen, all returned to their original state at this moment, instantly turning back to their original size!
"August, you fell for it!"
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art..."
The moment Gildarts recovered, he pressed himself in front of August. He waved his fist and laughed, saying, "...Evil-Shattering, Righteousness-Manifesting, Absolute Heaven!"
"So close!!"
August looked at Gildarts, who was very close to him, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Although Gildarts's magic power was not strong enough, his combat intuition was astonishingly powerful.
This guy was the type of Mage who was particularly good at fighting.
"Boom!!"
Just as August was sweating profusely due to Gildarts's proximity, accompanied by a huge roar, terrifying magic power had already enveloped August's entire body, and the remaining half of Magnolia Town also turned into nothingness at this moment!
"Did it work?!"
After Gildarts had done all this, he panted heavily, his eyes like lightning, trying to penetrate the smoke and dust in front of him. He had never thought that this blow of his could defeat August. He only hoped that this punch of his could bring some trouble to August, at least have some effect on August.
"Boom!!"
Just as Gildarts was wondering...
Accompanied by a howling gale, August's unharmed figure appeared in front of Gildarts, and Gildarts's powerful punch was currently being held in August's single hand. Their hands were subtly trembling, seemingly competing with each other, but unfortunately, August's palm was like a hydraulic clamp. No matter how hard Gildarts tried, he couldn't break free from August's grip.
"August, are you really a monster?!"
Gildarts's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he spoke helplessly.
"The feeling is mutual..."
"Throughout the entire Earth-land World, I can't find many geniuses who can compare to you! My dear, Gildarts~"
"Oh, by the way, you said that Laxus kid was a genius, and if he worked hard and trained for another ten years, he might catch up to you now, right?!"
"Then let me return the words you said to Laxus back to you!"
"From now on, perhaps if Gildarts you train hard for another hundred years, you might catch up to me now."
August tilted his head and said with a chuckle.
"Hehe..."
Gildarts heard this and showed a bitter smile.
The gap was truly ridiculously huge!
"So, Gildarts..."
"Can you now take out what I need and give it to me?!"
