Just making eye contact with Gildarts made Laxus' scalp tingle, and his heart felt utterly cold. At the same time, a huge "Danger" sign rose deep within Laxus' heart.
"Boom!"
Before Laxus could think further, Gildarts' fist had already landed in front of him.
From Laxus' perspective, the moment Gildarts threw his punch, it was as if the entire world had been paused. Under Gildarts' powerful aura, he found it impossible to escape, or even move a muscle.
And Gildarts' fist was like a scene from a movie, frame by frame, hitting his cheek. A huge "Danger" sign echoed continuously in Laxus' mind. Laxus knew that if he were hit by Gildarts' punch, he would definitely pass out.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a roar…
Laxus, including the ground beneath Laxus' feet, and the vast forest behind him, were all sent flying into the sky by Gildarts' single punch!
As for Laxus himself…
At this moment, just as he had expected, he completely passed out, like a doll abandoned by its owner and completely broken, falling heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
"Next."
Gildarts said, his gaze turning to Mirajane not far away.
"Uh…"
Mirajane shivered…
Even Laxus was defeated, what chance did she have?!
Before Mirajane could think further, Gildarts appeared before her as if he had teleported.
"Wuwu…"
Mirajane was startled by Gildarts' sudden appearance, shedding a few tears, and even momentarily forgetting how to resist.
"Ding~"
Gildarts showed no mercy. He swung his fist fiercely towards Mirajane's cheek, which scared Mirajane into immediately blocking with her arms in front of her and tightly closing her eyes.
"Hehe…"
Gildarts couldn't help but chuckle softly…
His fist stopped the moment it approached Mirajane's cheek. He extended two fingers to Mirajane's smooth forehead and then flicked it hard.
With a "Teng!" sound…
Mirajane's forehead swelled visibly.
The force was just right to make her lose her combat ability.
"Next up!"
"It's you two, Ur and Ultear."
After dealing with Mirajane, Gildarts turned around and looked at Ur and Ultear, the mother and daughter, not far away.
"I surrender!"
Ultear surrendered immediately.
Ultear's personality had always been like this; winning was fine, but losing wasn't out of the question either.
Yes, it was a rather defeatist personality.
"How can I just surrender like this?!"
Ur, however, was completely different from Ultear. She was full of passion, a hot-blooded youth through and through. Whether she could win or not, she would fight first, wouldn't she?!
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art…"
Ur turned into an afterimage, actively launching an attack on Gildarts.
Perhaps because it was already quite cold here…
Under such extreme weather, Ur's strength seemed to have received a certain boost.
Especially when Ur used Dragon Slayer Magic!
Although they were all 'Heavenly King' level…
However, 'Heavenly Kings' who used Dragon Slayer Magic were not on the same level as those 'Heavenly Kings' who used conventional magic in terms of combat power.
In other words, although Ur was currently ranked third among the Ten Wizard Saints from the official perspective of the Magic Council ERA, her actual combat power had already reached the level of the first seat. Neither Ulfheim nor Hibern were Ur's opponents in terms of practical combat.
Unfortunately, Ur's opponent was an existence above the 'Ten Wizard Saints'!
The strongest Magician in the Ishgar Continent, Gildarts Clive.
"Crush!"
With a wave of Gildarts' hand, the magic circle in front of Ur, along with the Dragon Slayer Secret Art that Ur had not yet unleashed, were all crushed into countless magic fragments.
"Ah?!"
At this moment, Ur showed the same shocked expression as Bluenote from the Tenrou Island Arc in the original story, during the Grimoire Heart invasion, when he poured all his magic into charging a super magic, only for it to be casually crushed by Gildarts.
