Chapter 68: If We Can Gang Up, Why Fight One-on-One?
"Here!"
Ren stood in the center of the top floor, surrounded by large crystals.
His eyes burned brightly as he stared straight at the tall crystal chair directly in front of him.
"Not coming out?"
As Ren's words fell, Erza and Ur instantly became solemn, vigilantly following Ren's gaze.
Both Erza and Ur knew about Ren's Observation Haki ability. If Ren said he found an enemy, then there must be an enemy there.
Seeing his position exposed, the person behind the chair no longer hid.
Slowly walking out from behind the crystal chair, he looked at Ren with a deep gaze, then shifted his gaze to Erza.
A flash of madness flickered deep in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to come too."
The figure had blue hair and a strange tattoo on his cheek.
This person was Jellal.
After staring at Erza for a while, he turned his gaze to Ren, a smile appearing on his face.
"Didn't expect I'd come?"
Ren raised an eyebrow, a mocking expression on his face.
"Yes, just didn't expect you to be so fast."
Jellal nodded with a smile, slowly pacing around.
"I don't understand why you targeted Erza."
Ren stared at Jellal and finally asked the question on his mind.
Ren really couldn't figure out why, since Erza hadn't been to the Tower of Heaven, Jellal still designed such a scheme to lure her here.
"Do you believe in fate?"
Jellal stared at Ren with a playful look in his eyes and smiled.
After a moment of silence, Ren nodded and said, "I believe."
Ren finally understood at this moment.
"My original plan was to bring Erza to the Tower of Heaven. After capturing her, I would force you here, then capture you and make you the sacrifice for Zeref's resurrection."
"I just didn't expect you to actually come with Erza."
Jellal seemed slightly disappointed, but then shook his head and chuckled, "But it doesn't make much difference. You standing before me just the same is enough."
Ren raised an eyebrow and asked with a chuckle, "So you think you have the strength to take me down?"
Jellal nodded and said, "If it were anywhere else, I might not be your match. But here in the Tower of Heaven, on my home turf, you are not my opponent!"
Jellal possessed immense confidence, not putting Ren in his eyes at all.
Ren smiled disdainfully, looking at Jellal with some contempt in his eyes.
"Based on what? Being the youngest among the Ten Wizard Saints in history?"
Ren sneered, his aura bursting forth.
A violent aura instantly swept through the entire top floor.
Even the calm Jellal's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Then Jellal suddenly covered the tattoo on his cheek, a crazy smile appearing on his face.
"This aura! This magic power! You will make an excellent sacrifice!"
Jellal's crazed gaze stared straight at Ren, completely ignoring Erza and Ur beside him.
"Then come! Let me test the strength of the youngest Ten Wizard Saints in history!"
Ren put his right hand behind his back and crooked his left finger at Jellal.
His right hand behind him waved at Erza, signaling her to stay away.
Understanding that she couldn't intervene in this battle, Erza decisively followed Ur to temporarily take cover.
Wind howled as a magic circle emerged first beneath Jellal's feet.
"Meteor!"
Starlight condensed beneath Jellal's feet, and his speed increased significantly in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ren, smashing a fist towards Ren's head.
The heavy punch landed on Ren's head but couldn't harm him in the slightest.
"I originally thought your strength would be comparable to your brain, but I didn't expect this is all you have?"
Ren's tone carried a hint of disappointment, completely ignoring the fist on his head.
Before Jellal could retreat, Ren suddenly reached out and grabbed Jellal's arm.
Landing a heavy punch on Jellal's stomach.
A blue figure instantly flew backward, smashing heavily into the crystals behind him.
"Truly powerful strength!"
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Jellal wiped it away and stood up, looking at Ren with an obsessed gaze.
"Grand Chariot!"
In just an instant of exchanging blows, Jellal knew he couldn't possibly match Ren in close combat.
Jellal instantly abandoned that idea, and seven points of starlight condensed in front of him.
The next moment, they turned into beams of light shooting towards Ren.
Attacks like the Big Dipper constantly struck at Ren, like meteors falling from the sky.
Jellal controlled the power of the stars, bombarding Ren wildly.
The narrow space of the top floor instantly turned into ruins, but Jellal didn't care at all.
"Hypnosis!"
The next moment, Jellal suddenly felt drowsy, sleepiness surging in his head.
In that instant of negligence, Ren appeared in front of Jellal.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit condensed on his fist, punching towards Jellal's head.
Jellal's soul power was strong. Ren only temporarily controlled Jellal's soul for an instant before he snapped out of it.
Seeing the fist close at hand, Jellal hurriedly attached the power of stars to his feet.
Trying to dodge Ren's fist with speed.
Although he successfully avoided a vital hit, the fist landed on Jellal's left arm.
The fist filled with tremor power emitted a terrifying vibration the moment it touched Jellal.
Jellal's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly put distance between himself and Ren.
Feeling the pain constantly surging from his arm, Jellal tore off his sleeve.
His arm was completely twisted, utterly powerless.
Grimacing at Ren, Jellal's gaze gradually became more solemn.
"This guy is truly scary strong!"
Jellal let his left arm hang, looking at Ren with vigilance in his eyes.
"Too weak!"
Ren grinned, looking at Jellal with disdain.
As long as he could get close, he could chain combo Jellal to death.
"Zeus! Prometheus! Napoleon!"
Ren didn't plan to fight Jellal one-on-one and summoned the three main Homies to his side.
If we can gang up, why fight one-on-one?!
Following Ren's call, the three main Homies turned into streams of light, appearing instantly in front of Ren.
