"Did it work!?"
On the other side, watching Zeros's dazzling blade strike 'Elfman' from afar, although the distance made it difficult to see clearly, the bright red blood flowing out could still be vaguely seen, and Lisanna immediately let out a cry of surprise.
However, Mirajane shook her head. If the Beast King were so easy to defeat, she wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat earlier. Although Zeros's strike had indeed impressed her slightly, that one strike alone wasn't enough to defeat the Beast King...
After finishing the slash, Zeros's body fell to the ground. He turned to look at 'Elfman', whose body was covered in a shocking bloodstain from the slash. However, Zeros's face showed no joy; instead, his gaze became even more solemn.
The 'Instant Slash' that had previously been invincible against other monsters in the Beast King Mountains did not seem to have the effect he had imagined against 'Elfman', who possessed the body of the Beast King.
As expected, 'Elfman' roared repeatedly, his thick arms waving wildly, and an extremely powerful magical force suddenly erupted from his body. Most of this magical force flowed into the shocking bloodstain, and then the bloodstain began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In no time at all, the bloodstain disappeared without a trace from 'Elfman's' body.
This beast king's body possesses such terrifying self-healing ability.
Fortunately, from the moment 'Elfman' was slashed until the wound healed itself, although his magical power remained incredibly strong, Zeros still managed to detect a trace of disorder in his aura.
In other words, the slash just now did cause some injury, but it wasn't fatal.
Thinking of this, Zeros took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened again, and he leaped into the air once more.
Regardless of the circumstances, this 'Elfman' with the body of a beast king is the strongest opponent he has encountered in his journey so far, and also his ultimate goal in the Beast King Mountains. Regardless of his initial purpose for coming here, he now wants to really test his strength and see what level he has reached in his practice over the past six months.
Then, Zeros and 'Elfman', one small and one large, one human and one 'beast', engaged in an astonishing battle. The ferocity of the fight was no less than that of the battle between Mirajane and the Beast King.
Deep within the Beast King Mountain Range, tremors once again resounded frequently.
On the other side, the Mirajane sisters were completely focused on the battle between the two sides.
Because of her lack of strength, Lisanna couldn't discern many clues. She could only occasionally let out a gasp when the surface battle situation changed. Her small hands were tightly gripping her body, and beads of sweat kept spilling from her palms, showing the immense tension in the little girl's heart at this moment.
As an S-class mage, Mirajane, despite being severely injured and no longer possessing her full strength, still has an S-class mage's insight. She sees the battle situation much more clearly than Lisanna.
Although Zeros appeared to be in the lead due to his speed and exquisite swordsmanship, Mirajane knew that Zeros's attacks, while seemingly causing considerable damage to 'Elfman', were actually much less damaging than imagined thanks to his powerful magical self-healing ability, and could not shake Beast king at all.
If this continues for a long time, the final result will likely be that Zeros's magic power is exhausted and he is defeated. Of course, if Zeros can unleash a powerful magic that can inflict a fatal blow on 'Elfman', then the outcome will be different. Mirajane does not believe that this beast king can 'cheat' once again.
In fact, if Mirajane had observed more carefully and meticulously, she would have discovered that when Zeros launched his attack on 'Elfman', every attack the latter launched against his seemed to have been anticipated by Zeros in advance, and he skillfully and silently neutralized them with his movements.
However, what puzzled Mirajane the most in this battle was that no matter how fierce Zeros fought, he never drew his katana even slightly, always fighting with the katana in its sheath.
This strange behavior baffled Mirajane. Shouldn't a knife be sharpest when it's unsheathed?
However, just as Zeros didn't know about her past, she, who also didn't know about Zeros's past, would never understand the story behind it...
