Chapter 69: Continue the Slaughter! Be Crushed!
With Ren's summons, Zeus instantly arrived by Ren's side, grinning hideously at Jellal.
Although he had been on the top floor the whole time, Jellal was clearly aware of what had just happened below.
The three Homies were strong, and Jellal's expression instantly became solemn.
"Go! Continue the slaughter!"
A hideous smile appeared on Ren's face, the killing intent in his eyes becoming increasingly violent.
Armament Haki coated his fists, combined with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Ren stomped his feet violently on the ground, rushing directly towards Jellal.
The ground shattered, cracks spreading continuously.
Ren's figure appeared in front of Jellal in the blink of an eye, swinging his fist towards Jellal's head.
"Meteor!"
Jellal didn't dare let Ren get close, hurriedly casting magic on himself. Starlight condensed on Jellal's legs.
He hurriedly dodged away from under Ren's fist.
However, even though Jellal dodged, the shockwave from the tremor made Jellal's chest feel stifled.
His left arm was completely powerless, severely affecting Jellal's balance.
This slowed Jellal down significantly. Even with the magic enhancement, he was almost caught by Ren.
"What a terrifying physical body!"
Jellal hid behind a large crystal rock, murmuring with a bitter smile on his face.
But before Jellal could finish speaking, the crystal rock behind him exploded instantly, flying debris scratching Jellal's cheek.
A streak of blood appeared on Jellal's handsome face.
Ren, somehow discovering Jellal's location, had shattered the huge rock with a single punch.
"Grand Chariot!"
While dodging, Jellal was also attempting to counterattack.
Six stars emitting golden light condensed above Jellal's head, then exploded towards Ren the next moment.
But just as Jellal was countering Ren, a blade light suddenly flashed behind Jellal.
Jellal glanced back; a straight long sword had appeared behind him at some point.
The long sword had a human-like face on it, grinning hideously as it slashed down towards Jellal's head.
Amidst the flashing blade light, a sharp slash instantly severed Jellal's arm.
Even with the enhancement of Meteor, although Jellal dodged Napoleon's sneak attack, his left arm was cut off by Napoleon.
Although the left arm had been useless since just now, having it cut off at the shoulder by Napoleon caused blood to spray out like a fountain.
Jellal turned pale, hurriedly using magic to temporarily plug the wound; otherwise, the blood loss would be unbearable.
Zeus and Prometheus didn't stay idle either. After Napoleon severed Jellal's arm first, the two also rushed forward together.
Both spewed fire and lightning simultaneously from their mouths.
Fire and lightning merged into one, bombarding straight towards Jellal's figure.
A blue afterimage flashed in the air, and the fire and lightning exploded instantly at his original spot.
The sound of the explosion resounded throughout the Tower of Heaven. Mitchell and Brady on the island also heard this explosion.
The two exchanged glances, and excitement flashed in Mitchell's eyes.
*Lord Jellal must have defeated Ren!*
In Mitchell's heart, Jellal was the strongest; Ren couldn't be his match.
After all, even a thought projection could become one of the Ten Wizard Saints, so his true body must be even stronger!
Thinking this, Mitchell looked at Brady, who was fighting hard nearby, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.
Quite a few guards on the Tower of Heaven broke through to the upper levels but were blocked by Ur and Erza below the top floor.
Erza stood with her sword, looking coldly at the group of black-robed figures in front of her.
Images from her childhood suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Those black-robed people back then looked exactly like these people in front of her now.
In that instant, killing intent surged from Erza.
The scenes from her childhood were vivid in her mind, villagers brutally slaughtered by black-robed people.
If not for Ren's existence, she might have been abducted by the black-robed people too.
Erza's face was livid as she charged into the crowd of black-robed people with her sword.
Before long, blood splattered, and Erza's armor was stained with blood in no time.
Ur didn't know why Erza suddenly became like this, but she stood aside to guard Erza's flank.
...
On the top floor, Jellal struggled to dodge the indiscriminate bombardment from Prometheus and Zeus, while having to watch out for Napoleon's sneak attacks from the void from time to time.
As the dust settled not far away, Ren's unscathed figure appeared in Jellal's line of sight.
Let alone being injured, not even a tiny wound could be seen on Ren's skin.
Jellal's face sank. His attacks couldn't harm Ren's body at all, not even breaking Ren's defense.
He and Ren were simply not opponents on the same level.
Suddenly, Jellal looked up and saw the mocking smile on Ren's face.
Ren stood with his arms crossed, staring at him with full mockery.
Jellal realized then that Ren hadn't been serious with him from beginning to end.
A bitter smile appeared on his face as he struggled to dodge Zeus and Prometheus's attacks.
He had to watch out for Napoleon, who was hiding somewhere unknown and would give him a slash from time to time.
His stamina was nearly exhausted, and due to constantly maintaining the Meteor magic, his magic power was running low too.
Stopping abruptly, starlight condensed around Jellal.
"I'll take your head!"
Seizing the opportunity, Napoleon suddenly slashed at Jellal's neck.
The sharp blade light seemed to cut through the void but dispersed upon touching the layer of starlight on Jellal's body surface.
Napoleon was slightly stunned, not expecting this slash to fail to decapitate Jellal.
A beam of starlight sped forth, blasting onto Napoleon's blade.
Napoleon flew backward instantly, embedding into the stone wall nearby.
Then a magic circle condensed beneath Jellal's feet as he looked crazily at Ren.
Dark aura permeated, and a huge black hole appeared behind Jellal.
Debris flew, constantly swallowing surrounding objects.
"Be crushed in the darkness!"
Jellal roared with a hideous face. From the black hole, tentacle-like shadows seemed to extend, spreading towards the surroundings.
