"So cool!!"
Natsu's eyes sparkled as he watched the move.
Gray's mouth twitched. "No, you mean terrifying!"
Whether it was Laxus or Lucas, the power they were displaying far exceeded their own. They probably wouldn't last a single move against either of them.
Especially Lucas, that pervert.
He was actually learning and using techniques right in the middle of the battle.
They could understand why Laxus was so angry.
Being beaten by your own magic—there was nothing more frustrating than that.
Comparatively, Laxus would rather Lucas defeat him using Gildarts' magic or the Master's magic. Just as long as it wasn't Natsu's kind of magic.
Crackle!!
Boom!!!
As soon as Lucas and Laxus started, they rushed toward each other at extreme speed, the ground exploding in their wake.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!
Their fists and feet clashed violently. The shockwaves generated by their colliding mana startled everyone watching.
Only now did they truly understand why Lucas and Laxus could become Fairy Tail S-Class Mages. Compared to ordinary guild mages, their strength was simply on a whole different level.
Even Gildarts was amazed. "Are young people nowadays this energetic?"
Laxus grew increasingly impatient as he failed to take Lucas down. A mere brat was using counterfeit magic to fight him to a draw.
This was a humiliation.
Lucas, on the other hand, was having a blast. He enjoyed this kind of battle the most.
In his past life, due to various laws, if you got hit and hit back, it was called mutual combat. If you hurt the other guy, you had to pay damages.
His life was already hard; paying damages would just add frost to the snow.
The best way was to do nothing, let the other guy hit you, then get an injury assessment and wait for the payout.
You got the money, but you lost your dignity.
As a man, getting hit without fighting back made you a coward.
In this world, there was no need to worry about that. If a fight was needed, you fought hard. If someone needed killing, you killed them. The strong ruled—this was the world he yearned for.
Lucas got more excited as he fought. Unknowingly, his strength and speed began to increase gradually.
This increase caused Laxus to slowly fall into a disadvantage.
Being suppressed by a brat was intolerable for Laxus.
Smack!
Laxus caught Lucas's fist.
Crackle, crackle!
Almost simultaneously, a golden lightning magic circle appeared beneath Lucas's feet.
The circle generated golden lightning that trapped Lucas.
"Kid, you can't escape now!"
[Observed Lightning Magic Circle. Comprehension is heaven-defying. Learned Lightning Magic Circle.]
Although trapped, Lucas didn't panic at all. Instead, he was happy to have learned a new way to utilize lightning.
Laxus raised his right fist high, chanting an incantation:
"Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, descend from the heavens and turn everything to ash."
[Observed Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist (Raging Bolt/Thunder Press variant contextually). Comprehension is heaven-defying. Learned Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist.]
Lucas also raised his right fist high, chanting the same incantation:
"Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, descend from the heavens and turn everything to ash."
Rumble———!!
Massive amounts of lightning gathered above both Lucas and Laxus, forming thunderclouds.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds formed giant, blinding spheres of lightning about five meters in diameter.
"No way!"
"Are they for real?!"
Everyone in Fairy Tail was startled. The mana contained in those lightning spheres was terrifying. If they really hit, it could be fatal.
Gildarts looked at Makarov. Makarov was a bit worried too, but he chose not to intervene. Lucas's mana should be able to tank it, and Laxus could dodge if he wanted to.
"Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!!"
"Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!!"
Both shouted in unison. The lightning sphere above Laxus crashed down toward him.
At this moment, Laxus laughed loudly. "Hahahaha! You brat! You actually tried to use Lightning Magic to defeat me!!"
Laxus threw his head back, opened his mouth, and sucked fiercely at the lightning sphere. The entire sphere was swallowed into his mouth.
"?!!"
"Laxus ate the lightning?!!"
Everyone in the guild was shocked by this scene.
"...No... Natsu..."
"Dragon Slayer Magic!!!"
They had seen someone who could eat magic before—Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic allowed him to eat fire.
Laxus's action was almost identical to Natsu eating fire, the only difference being that Natsu ate fire and Laxus ate lightning.
"Go down!!"
The giant lightning sphere crashed down toward Lucas.
Lucas looked up at the falling sphere of lightning. There was no fear in his eyes, only excitement.
Boom————!!!
The blinding lightning sphere engulfed Lucas's body, followed immediately by a terrifying explosion.
