"I can handle these guys in front of me all by myself!"
"Attacking this continent really isn't that difficult!"
The Desert King, Azhier, stood on the foremost warship, arms crossed, a look of arrogance on his face, filled with disdain for the opposing forces.
At this moment, Azhier seemed to already envision himself leading his army to conquer the enemy's defenses, and the corners of his mouth subtly curved upwards.
On the other side,
On the deck of Christina,
A rapid succession of footsteps sounded.
Hibiki Lates hurriedly ran behind Azhier and anxiously said, "Ichiya-san, imperial warships have appeared near the border!"
"Furthermore, the immense magical power confirms that it is a team led by one of Twelve Shields."
Hibiki Lates's face was solemn, his fingers constantly tapping the screen in front of him, his tone very serious.
The information displayed on the magic-formed screen made him feel the gravity of the situation; he couldn't find any effective information.
"Sigh~ it's time for us Blue Pegasus to show our strength~" Ichiya suddenly extended his hands, holding test tubes full of fragrance, and spun around on the warship. The corks of the test tubes opened, and various colored fragrances wafted into his nostrils.
"Power scent~" "Speed scent!"
As the fragrances were continuously inhaled, Ichiya's aura gradually strengthened, and his muscles slowly bulked up.
"Courage scent~"
"Fighting spirit scent!"
More fragrances entered his body, and Ichiya's momentum grew even stronger, his eyes becoming more resolute.
The fragrance enhancement culminated in a loud roar, and his entire body instantly expanded several times, muscles bulging high, his gaze filled with intense fighting intent.
This battle was for the entire continent, and it was his responsibility as a Magician.
After all, he was an S-Class Mage in Blue Pegasus!!!
"Magic Convergence Cannon—magic power filling complete!" Eve Tearm reported loudly to his companions from the control panel, his fingers flying across the keyboard. His voice was filled with tension and anticipation.
"Alright~ then fire directly~" Ichiya calmly responded. His gaze was firm and calm, as if he had long been prepared for anything.
"Everyone else, get ready to fight~" Ichiya then issued a second command.
His serious tone made everyone realize the impending challenge.
As Ichiya's command was given, Eve unhesitatingly slammed his finger down on the keyboard.
Instantly, the cannon barrel at the front of the warship began to gather dazzling light, as if a brilliant beam was about to burst forth.
With a thunderous roar, a massive beam of light shot out from the warship's cannon, heading straight for Azhier's warship.
This beam carried endless energy and power, as if it would tear through the entire space.
However, facing such a powerful attack, Azhier merely chuckled disdainfully.
"Playing smart~"
He raised his hand, magic power rapidly condensing within it, then forcefully slapped it towards the beam.
Instantly, the beam emitted by the Magic Convergence Cannon shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments scattering in all directions.
The originally mighty attack was thus easily neutralized, without causing Azhier the slightest harm.
"What~ he actually blocked it just by raising his hand!" Several members of Blue Pegasus widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.
They had long known that Azhier's strength was terrifying, but they never expected him to be able to block such a powerful attack so effortlessly.
At this moment, everyone felt unprecedented pressure.
They understood that the upcoming battle would be exceptionally difficult. But they did not flinch; instead, their resolve grew stronger, preparing to face this life-or-death battle.
"This is for you~" Azhier's eyes narrowed, a wicked smile playing on his lips. The moment his hands crossed, magic power surged out like raging waves, and the ground beneath them began to shake violently.
A shocking scene unfolded before them—more accurately, it was terrifying.
Because the ground beneath them had directly transformed into an endless desert! This power was utterly terrifying.
And under Azhier's precise control, this desert quickly converged into an enormous snake, towering over the land, its body rising upright, its height directly surpassing their warship.
The great snake roared, opening its gaping maw, and lunged directly towards their warship, seemingly intending to swallow the entire ship whole.
"Power~" Ichiya roared, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
He stomped his foot, and the air beneath him seemed to shatter; a powerful magical force erupted from his body.
Ichiya's arm muscles bulged, as hard as steel, and magic power continuously gathered in his fist, forming a dazzling light.
Without hesitation, he forcefully slammed his fist down onto the great snake's head, the light from his fist instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.
With one punch, the great snake's head was instantly pulverized into countless grains of sand, scattering into the air.
However, before they could rejoice, the enemy, Azhier, let out a contemptuous sneer.
His voice was as cold and piercing as ice, sending shivers down their spines.
"Hilarious. If this is all you've got~ you'd better surrender; at least you'll save your lives that way~" Azhier's tone was full of mockery and disdain.
As soon as his words fell, several more identical great snakes suddenly reappeared around them.
Everyone stared dumbfounded, because facing such terrifying magic power,
They couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
Even if Ichiya-sama could withstand this attack,
How many times could he withstand it?
Bang! A loud bang echoed in the air, as a mysterious blade light flashed across the sky.
The massive snake body, which had just been formed, instantly broke into two halves, then dissolved into countless grains of sand, scattering to the ground.
"Ichiya, everyone from Blue Pegasus, I'll handle this guy."
As a clear, cold female voice rang out, the armored Erza slowly descended onto the deck.
"Erza? Didn't you go to attack Tartaros?"
"How could you be here so quickly?"
"Could it be that you've already successfully destroyed Tartaros?" Ichiya and his three followers stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at Erza's back.
Their hearts were filled with questions; was Tartaros really that easy to defeat?
Hadn't they heard it was full of Zeref's powerful demons?
Even if Zorn-sama, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, went along, didn't he still have to deal with Pluton?
"Yes, Tartaros has been dealt with!" "Don't worry, you can safely leave this person to me!"
"Re-equip—Purgatory Armor!" Erza said with a solemn expression.
Her clothes instantly transformed into deep black, spiky steel armor, and her wings flapped behind her.
She shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, lightly tapping the air with her feet, using Moonwalk, her speed increasing explosively.
In just a blink of an eye, Erza had already rushed onto Azhier's warship.
Her figure flashed, wielding a spiked club, and she shouted, "Black Wing—Moon Flash!" The spiked club carried a booming sound, like a meteor, directly smashing towards Azhier's face.
Azhier chuckled playfully, but directly turned his right hand into sand and blocked the attack with a punch.
Both of them recoiled a few steps simultaneously, and the entire warship shook violently from their impact.
Azhier dropped his smile, his expression turning serious, a hint of battle intent appearing in his eyes: "Fairy Tail? How many in your guild are stronger than you?"
His tone revealed his recognition of Erza's strength and his curiosity about other members of Fairy Tail.
"You dare to face us one-on-one?" Azhier continued to ask, a provocative glint in his eyes.
"To deal with you, it's still enough!"
Erza's gaze sharpened, her combat stance re-assumed, and she struck again.
Azhier also moved forward, and a sandstorm formed on the ship.
The aftermath of their battle also forced their warship to descend to the ground.
