roar!!
Upon seeing the culprit, Zeros, walking towards him, Elfman roared and threw another punch.
The enormous fist grew larger and larger in Zeros's clear, bright eyes. Just as it was about to smash into Zeros, Zeros's body blurred and turned into a blur, appearing on a boulder on the other side the next moment.
Zeros glanced at 'Elfman' indifferently, then his figure flashed repeatedly, arriving on the other side of the mountain range.
Upon seeing this, 'Elfman' naturally stomped his feet and ran with incredible speed. His massive body, as big as a small mountain, was incredibly fast, and he arrived in front of Zeros in an instant.
"Sister Mira, what is Brother Zeros doing?!"
Mirajane and Lisanna were closely watching Zeros's actions. When Lisanna saw Zeros go directly to the other side of the mountain, she immediately turned to look at Mirajane and asked in confusion.
After looking at their current location, Mirajane understood Zeros's actions and said, "He's shifting the battlefield to protect us from the fighting."
At this point, Mirajane thought to herself, "Although he seems cold on the surface, he is a very kind person inside."
After Lisanna understood Zeros's actions, her affection for him increased even more. However, she immediately asked nervously, "Sister Mirajane, do you think Brother Zeros can save Brother Elfman?"
"I have no idea...."
Mirajane shook her head. She couldn't answer her sister's question either, because she had no idea how strong Zeros was. Although she hoped Zeros could defeat the Beast King's body so that Elfman could regain his sanity.
However, having just fought the Beast King, she was arguably the person who knew the Beast King's strength best. Therefore, she knew how difficult it would be to defeat the Beast King. After all, even someone as proud as her had been defeated by the Beast King before, and the defeat was extremely miserable.
Although Mirajane had previously acted very arrogantly, becoming an S-class mage at the age of sixteen was indeed something many people would be proud of. However, even so, she still lost to the Beast King, which shows how strong the Beast King was. Therefore, without knowing Zeros's strength, she had no way of judging whether Zeros had a chance of winning against the Beast King.
However, although she didn't know Zeros's exact strength, in the short time she had been in contact with him, Zeros gave her a mysterious feeling, especially the speed he showed when he saved Lisanna, which made her realize that this wandering mage was not simple.
So she fixed her gaze on Zeros, who had shifted the battlefield to the other side, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
Perhaps, he really can do it...
Regardless of what Mirajane was thinking at that moment, on the other side, Zeros had already officially engaged in combat with 'Elfman'.
Unlike his previous dodges using future predictions and incredible speed, this time, facing Elfman's fierce punches again, Zeros did not choose to continue dodging. Instead, he pulled his right hand to his shoulder.
There was a tearing sound.
The black cloth covering Zeros's back, which had been holding the sword, was suddenly lifted, revealing the blade sheathed in its ancient design.
Holding the Blade, Zeros suddenly raised his right hand, holding the blade horizontally in front of him. At the same time, a powerful purple gold magic surged out of his body and then poured into the Blade. In an instant, a dazzling purple gold light shone from the ancient, sheathed blade.
The next moment, 'Elfman's' enormous fist, accompanied by gusts of wind, slammed down and collided with the Blade that was positioned in front of Zeros.
With a deafening roar, the ground beneath Zeros's feet collapsed, and cracks spread outwards in all directions.
Even so, Zeros remained unmoved, gripping the knife, standing firmly on the shattered and mangled earth, only his black robe billowing in the wind.
Whether it's the sword in Zeros's hand, or Zeros himself, even compared to 'Elfman's' fist, they all seem so insignificant.
Therefore, the scene of Zeros using his sword to block this punch was like an ant trying to shake a tree. It seemed that if the fist pressed down even slightly, it could crush him and his sword together.
But that one point seemed to be frozen in time. No matter how much Elfman's fist increased its power, it could not suppress that point. This scene of "an ant trying to shake a tree" seemed to last forever.
At this time.
Zeros's eyes narrowed slightly, and the purple gold light emanating from the Blade surged back, transforming into a sharp blade of light that soared into the sky.
Elfman forcibly withdrew his fist almost instantly.
Even with the thick hide of his beast king body, he still felt a sharp stinging sensation under the fierce blade light.
At the very moment 'Elfman' withdrew his punch, Zeros moved in unison, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. At the end of these afterimages, Zeros's figure appeared, a cold glint in his eyes, as he ruthlessly swung down his Blade.
Instant Slash!
A dazzling blade of light flashed across the sky, instantly slashing into 'Elfman's' chest. Under that sharp blade light, even the thick-skinned beast king's body was left with a huge gash, from which bright red blood flowed wildly.
