On the other side, the Beast King's enormous fist was already slamming down rapidly.
However, Elfman below seemed not to have seen anything at all. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he roared, "Receive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the magic power in his body erupted at that moment, and a dark brown magic circle shone brightly beneath his feet, completely enveloping him.
At the same time, a beam of light shot out from the magic circle beneath his feet, striking the Beast King who was throwing a punch at him.
The next moment, the light fell on the Beast King, and a magic circle exactly the same as the one under Elfman's feet appeared. At the same time the magic circle was formed, the Beast King's swinging fist suddenly stopped, saving the two people below from being smashed to death by the fist.
However, upon seeing this, Mirajane showed no joy whatsoever; instead, she turned deathly pale. As a fellow mage who 'Take Over' magic, she naturally knew what Elfman had done.
"Elfman, you can't!" Mirajane's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice was slightly hoarse. "You're not strong enough. If you force yourself to accept it, you'll suffer a backlash!"
Elfman seemed not to hear Mirajane's shouts and continued to forcefully use the receiving magic. He was well aware of the risks involved, but facing the Beast King, whose strength far surpassed his own, he could think of no other way to stop it.
Although he knew the success rate of doing so was less than one percent, he still resolutely chose to do it in order to protect his sister.
"Full body take, Beast King!" Elfman's eyes were bloodshot, and waves of pain surged through his body. He gritted his teeth and shouted. In an instant, two magic circles flashed with dazzling light, and the Beast King's body transformed into a beast soul, entering Elfman's body.
Having received the soul of the Beast King, Elfman's body suddenly swelled and rose high into the air, transforming into the appearance of the Beast King. He roared to the sky, and in that roar, Elfman's voice and the Beast King's voice seemed to overlap, resounding through the sky.
Elfman, transformed into the Beast King, continuously emitted those overlapping roars. From those sounds, it was impossible to tell whether this enormous creature was Elfman or... the Beast King.
"Elfman...."
Mirajane, forcing herself to stand up despite her extreme weakness, walked to an open space to the side. She raised her fair neck and stared intently at Elfman, who had forcibly received the Beast King's Soul, her heart filled with trepidation.
Within Elfman's body, Elfman's own consciousness and the Beast King's soul are engaged in a fierce struggle. If Elfman's consciousness can defeat the Beast King's soul, then this crisis can not only be perfectly resolved, but he can also obtain the Beast King's powerful strength.
Just like Mirajane's Satan Soul, if Elfman can suppress and master the Beast King's Soul, he will be able to fully absorb the Beast King's Soul and transform into the Beast King's Body, resulting in an unprecedented surge in strength.
However, imagination is often beautiful, while reality is always so cruel.
The Beast King's strength was far beyond Elfman's reach; the gap between them was enormous. Under these circumstances, Elfman's attempt to forcibly take over had a one in a hundred chance of success. It could be said that his actions were tantamount to suicide.
Elfman knew this, but he did it anyway.
Mirajane knew this too, but at this moment, she couldn't offer Elfman any help. She could only clasp her hands together and pray silently for him, praying for that one percent chance to happen, praying... for a miracle to occur...
However, if miracles could happen so easily, then they wouldn't be miracles at all...
On the enormous beast king's body, the light in its huge eyes flickered erratically, sometimes appearing as an eerie purple, and sometimes turning as black as ink.
However, this fluctuating situation quickly changed, with the eerie purple completely suppressing the black and stabilizing rapidly.
At the same time, the overlapping roars gradually subsided.
