"Oh~ interesting!"
Pluton was not annoyed after being stopped.
He slowly straightened up within Zorn's gravity field, took a step forward, and his entire foot sank deep into the ground.
It was evident how powerful the gravity was.
"I know you, Zorn, a Magician hailed as the youngest Ten Wizard Saints, even the Four Heavenly Kings acknowledge your strength!"
"And that Holy Light Magic, comparable to divine power! It truly makes me sigh!!!" Pluton advanced step by step towards Zorn, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground.
He remained as composed as ever.
Meanwhile, Zorn unhurriedly drew dragon cry from the light barrier, a black-gold light enveloping it.
Zorn's gaze sharpened, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he watched Pluton showing off.
Gravity waves instantly converged on the blade of dragon cry, and the dragon cry in his hand emitted a heart-pounding aura.
In an instant, the entire space surged with a rich sword intent.
"You Fairy Tail, are truly in the way!" Pluton's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly countless thorns shot out from the ground like venomous snakes, directly piercing towards Zorn's body.
However, facing this scene, Zorn showed no fear; instead, a cold smile played on his lips.
Zorn tightly gripped the dragon cry in his hand and swung it forcefully towards Pluton.
In an instant, a dazzling light shone in Pluton's eyes, carrying endless might.
Seeing this, Pluton's eyes narrowed. He quickly extended a hand, and with a wave, a powerful magical fluctuation surged forth.
In the blink of an eye, white orbs emitting mysterious power appeared around his body, forming a solid shield that protected him tightly.
Just then, Zorn's attack arrived.
The blade light fiercely struck Pluton's shield, but surprisingly, these white orbs instantly shattered into dust.
Pluton's expression became solemn. He reacted swiftly, unhesitatingly using the power of the thorns to leap upwards, attempting to evade Zorn's attack.
However, Zorn's blade light was as sharp as lightning, instantly splitting the upper structure of the island where Pluton was, dividing it into two halves.
Pluton and Zorn floated in the air together, the tension reaching its peak.
"It's not over yet!" Zorn's eyes were firm, gripping the sword tightly in his hand. He stomped his foot forcefully, accompanied by a crisp sonic boom, and his figure appeared directly in front of Pluton the next moment.
A sharp blade light cut through the air, as if it would tear the entire space apart.
This blade light instantly carried Pluton and slammed him heavily onto the ground.
Boom—
The earth trembled, and a huge crack appeared.
And Pluton was deeply embedded, unable to move.
"Cough cough~ Is this the strength praised by the Four Heavenly Kings? It truly lives up to its reputation!" Pluton struggled to get up from the pit, then coughed out several mouthfuls of blood, staining the front of his clothes.
On his chest, a large gash had been opened, and blood flowed like a spring.
"To fulfill Zeref's wish, it seems I can no longer hold back!" Looking at Zorn in the air, a solemn expression appeared on Pluton's face. The black cursed power on his body burned like flames, and his body began to show demonic characteristics.
"Demonization!" This is an essential skill for every demon in Zeref's book, allowing them to double their attack power and speed.
"Tch! Hold back? How arrogant!" Zorn snorted disdainfully, completely unconcerned by Pluton's threat. He tossed dragon cry into the air, clapped his hands, and countless light swords instantly appeared in the air, with a massive light sword suspended directly above Pluton's head.
He gently waved his hand, and the massive light sword immediately carried endless might, striking the demonized Pluton at an astonishing speed.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye, catching everyone off guard.
Aside from the roar of the attack, no other sounds could be heard.
...
Meanwhile, on Gray's side of the battle,
"Pluton!!" Gin looked at Pluton, who was struggling in the air, and was also startled.
He had never seen Pluton like this before.
"Ice Make: Sword!!!" Gray seized the opportunity, clenching his hands together, and countless ice swords carrying cold air blasted towards Gin.
But Gin merely waved his right hand, directly blocking Gray's attack.
"Ice Magic doesn't work on me!" Gin turned his body, looking at Gray, who was now furious. He knew why, after all, this body was his father's.
"Gray-sama, I'll help you! How about this! Water Lock: Water Whip!" Suddenly, countless whips formed from water streams lashed out towards Gin from all angles.
"Water streams are even more useless against me!" But the water whips that had plowed deep furrows in the ground were instantly frozen into ice pillars with a raise of Gin's hand, turning into ice flowers.
"Juvia~" Gray also exclaimed.
He knew Juvia would come, but he didn't expect her so soon.
"Juvia is here to help Gray-sama fight together!!!" Juvia quickly came to Gray's side, her face very happy to be able to fight alongside Gray again.
She tightly hugged Gray's arm, her eyes full of love and excitement.
"Oh~ Is this your little girlfriend?" Gin looked at Juvia, who was hugging Gray's arm without any regard for being on the battlefield, and teased Gray.
However, he didn't give Gray much time to react, and then with a wave of his hand, countless ice cones blasted towards Gray and Juvia, completely disregarding the somewhat flustered duo.
Gray immediately shielded Juvia, and an ice shield instantly unfolded, blocking this round of attacks.
His eyes were firm and focused, seemingly undisturbed by anything.
"Juvia, let's go!!!" Gray roared, his voice filled with determination and courage, which couldn't help but inspire.
"Yes, Gray-sama!!" Juvia also responded happily.
Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, as if she was ready to fight alongside Gray.
Their limbs were immediately covered in Armament Haki. This layer of Armament Haki was as hard as steel, increasing their attack power while also effectively resisting enemy attacks.
They stomped their feet forcefully, and the ground instantly cracked, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Juvia and Gray's speed was as fast as lightning, dazzling to the eye.
They rushed towards Gin at an astonishing speed, suddenly appearing in front of him.
Gray threw a punch, his fist carrying powerful force, striking Gin like a cannonball;
And Juvia kicked out, her foot shimmering with cold light, kicking Gin with the cunning precision of a venomous snake.
Gin saw their attacks and immediately reacted, ice flowers appearing on his hands, ready to receive these two attacks.
However, when his fists and feet met Gray's and Juvia's, he immediately felt a huge force, a force that seemed to tear him apart.
He couldn't help but be forced back a few steps, a look of astonishment on his face.
Gin looked up, gazing at the two in front of him, his eyes filled with surprise.
He hadn't expected their physical combat skills to be so powerful.
Of course, they had been learning power exertion techniques from Kana for a long time.
However, this surprise didn't last long, because he soon discovered the excellent chemistry and coordination between Gray and Juvia, which made their strength even more prominent.
