[Iron Flame Dragon Mode]
After Kenichi used the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, Jellal's [Grand Chariot] arrived with a thunderous impact.
Boom! Boom! Boom!-
Seven golden streams of light, like seven meteors, directly landed where Kenichi was.
At that moment, Kenichi's figure was swallowed by the golden light.
And terrifyingly loud noises echoed through the air.
Furthermore, violent blast waves swept through the entire hall.
Even the magical crystal floor trembled violently.
"Kenichi!"
Erza, Gray, and the others, seeing Kenichi being directly hit by Jellal's magic, had faces full of worry as they resisted the oncoming blast waves.
The blast waves came quickly and left just as fast.
After one breath, the blast waves dissipated.
Erza slowly lowered the arms she had used to shield herself and looked up.
But when Erza saw the scene before her, her face showed both shock and joy.
She was joyful because Kenichi had not fallen.
She was shocked because Kenichi was completely unharmed!
"Look! Something's changed about Kenichi!"
Just then, Happy noticed something unusual about Kenichi and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing Happy's words, Erza, Gray, and the others all looked closely.
Soon, everyone noticed that Kenichi, enveloped in crimson flames, was now covered in dragon scales that seemed like steel.
But under the intense heat of the flames, the steel dragon scales weren't the usual black color, but a crimson red like heated iron.
The crimson steel dragon scales and the crimson flames complemented each other, making Kenichi look like a human-shaped fire dragon.
"What in the world is going on?"
"Why has Kenichi become like this?"
Lucy, Gray, and the others looked at Kenichi's form, each of them utterly astonished.
"Natsu!"
Erza immediately called out to Natsu over there.
In Erza's view, Natsu was also a Fire Dragon Slayer and might know something.
"I don't know either!"
Hearing Erza's question, Natsu responded, then looked at Kenichi's form again, his eyes sparkling: "Although I don't know what's happening, it looks really cool!"
While Natsu, Erza, and the others were talking, Kenichi also spread his palms and looked at his own hands.
Although Kenichi knew that using both Fire and Iron Dragon Slayer Magic simultaneously would trigger the Steel Flame Dragon Mode.
This was Kenichi's first time entering this mode himself.
'So this is the Steel Flame Dragon Mode?'
'Both magical power and physical strength seem to have increased quite a bit!'
After briefly sensing the power within his body, Kenichi looked satisfied. He then clenched his fists and slightly raised his head to look at Jellal in the sky.
Compared to Natsu's excitement, Jellal's face was extremely ugly upon seeing Kenichi in Steel Flame Dragon Mode.
"What in the world is going on?"
"This guy clearly took a direct hit from my Grand Chariot, yet he's completely unharmed!"
"And what is this form?..."
...
Jellal, floating in the sky, looked at Kenichi, his eyes flickering, his expression constantly changing.
"I am undefeated!"
"I am the one chosen by Zeref!"
"I have communicated with the Ghost of Zeref! I will create a truly free nation!"
Suddenly, the fear on Jellal's face completely vanished, replaced by madness.
As he spoke, Jellal's figure turned into a stream of light and charged towards Kenichi at an astonishing speed.
After getting close to Kenichi, Jellal swung his fist, delivering a slam-dunk-like blow towards Kenichi beneath him.
But before Jellal's fist could hit Kenichi, Kenichi's figure had moved behind Jellal.
Kenichi swung his arm.
Bang-
Jellal, taking the heavy blow, vomited a mouthful of blood.
And his body shot downward like a cannonball.
Instantly, Jellal's body pierced through layer after layer of magical crystal, finally crashing onto a huge piece of magical crystal after penetrating seven floors.
Bang-
Jellal, suffering secondary trauma, vomited blood again, and the magical crystal behind him was shattered to pieces.
From Kenichi's strike to Jellal being sent flying, it had only taken the blink of an eye.
It all happened so fast that Simon, Milliana, and the others hadn't even reacted yet.
By the time they reacted, they only saw the scene of Jellal being punched through the floor.
"What did he do?"
Milliana's mouth was slightly agape as she asked in astonishment.
"Just now, Kenichi hit Jellal in an instant!"
"With just one strike, he sent Jellal to the bottom!"
"Such terrifying power!"
Erza looked at Kenichi, whose body was enveloped in flames, and spoke with awe.
"So awesome, so awesome, too awesome, Kenichi!"
And Natsu was extremely excited.
Bang-
While Erza and Natsu were talking, a golden stream of light burst through the magical crystal and flew to the air above where Kenichi was.
This golden stream of light was, naturally, Jellal.
But Jellal now looked extremely disheveled, covered in wounds.
"I haven't lost yet!"
"It's not over!"
"I will destroy all of you together!"
Jellal shouted like a madman, then an enormous golden magic circle appeared between his palms.
"That is..."
Erza, upon seeing the magic Jellal was about to cast, her face changed dramatically.
And at this moment, the system's mechanical prompt sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Forbidden Magic: Abyss Break attribute!]
'Abyss Break?'
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi's expression changed slightly.
He had heard of this magic.
Back when Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail, that huge super magical giant intended to use this Abyss Break magic to level the Fairy Tail Guild in one go.
But the power of Abyss Break wasn't just enough to destroy one Fairy Tail Guild.
Once the Abyss Break magic circle was activated, most of Magnolia Town would be destroyed.
Erza naturally also recognized that the magic Jellal was about to release was Abyss Break. She immediately shouted: "Jellal, do you want to destroy this tower along with everything else?"
"At this point, anything goes!"
"As for the tower, there will be plenty of time to rebuild it later!"
"Today, I must bury all of you here!"
Hearing Jellal's words, the hearts of Natsu, Gray, and the others all sank to the bottom.
While everyone was thinking about how to deal with the impending destruction, Kenichi had already charged to a position above Jellal's head and threw a punch at Jellal.
Jellal, sensing this, immediately looked up.
He saw Kenichi's fist rapidly enlarging in his vision.
And the flames surrounding Kenichi seemed to roar like a real dragon.
At this moment, endless fear rose from the depths of Jellal's heart.
It was the fear brought by death.
Jellal knew that if Kenichi's punch landed, he would undoubtedly die.
Without any hesitation, Jellal immediately abandoned casting Abyss Break and intended to use Meteor to avoid Kenichi's strike.
But before Jellal's figure could move, Kenichi's fist had already descended.
Boom-
At that moment, a terrifyingly loud noise echoed through the air.
Jellal's body, like a cannonball, fell in a straight line towards the crystal tower below.
The floors of the crystal tower were as fragile as paper, instantly pierced through by Jellal's body.
In just the blink of an eye, Jellal's body pierced through to the very bottom.
At that moment, the entire crystal tower collapsed with a thunderous crash!
