Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the wind howled as the church was shattered by lightning, exploding into a pile of rubble.
Two figures could be seen being blasted by golden lightning; they couldn't land, let alone find leverage, and were quickly beaten until they were covered in wounds.
"Fire Dragons Roar!"
Natsu blasted out a breath of flames, finally forcing the violent Laxus back.
Gajeel watched the increasingly furious Laxus, cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "How is this blond guy so strong? He's on a completely different level from the rest of the guild!"
"Natsu! Today, I'll make sure you never burn again!"
Laxus's anger soared as he grabbed one of Natsu's hands, spinning him like a giant windmill before slamming the nearly vomiting Natsu into a wall.
"And you, you stinking Iron Dragon!!!!"
Laxus instantly appeared behind Gajeel, grabbed his head, slammed it hard into the ground, and then followed up with a kick.
"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!"
Natsu charged forward carrying a sky full of flames, only to be grabbed by Laxus in the next moment as terrifying lightning crashed down frantically.
"Trash, you think you can defeat me? I'll twist your head right off!"
Laxus erupted with full power, a terrifying lightning storm raging as it blasted the charging Gajeel away.
Enduring the intense pain, Natsu grabbed Laxus's hand in return, a smile appearing on his exhausted face: "You won't get away now!"
He hammered Laxus's face punch after punch. Laxus, enraged after taking several hits, grabbed Natsu's arm for an over-the-shoulder throw, then stomped hard on his head. The ground instantly shattered as lightning surged everywhere.
"As if you're worthy of making me run!"
Laxus snorted coldly, his lightning fists continuing their output, beating Natsu until he had no power to fight back.
However, Natsu's greatest skill was his ability to take a beating. He rolled over and climbed back up, spitting out a blast of fire that instantly left Laxus in a wretched state.
At this time, the others finally arrived. Bickslow had been defeated by Lucy, Fried had been defeated by Mirajane, and all the enchantments carved into Magnolia Town had disappeared.
Makarov said in a heavy voice, "Stop it! Laxus, it's all over!"
"As long as I'm still alive, it's not over. You've all come at just the right time!"
Laxus kicked Gajeel away like a soccer ball. With his anger sky-high, he brought his hands together, and lightning erupted unscrupulously.
The crowd was pushed back by the impact of this aura, their hearts shaken: "What terrifying magic power!"
Makarov recognized his hand gesture; it was the ultimate judgment magic, Fairy Law.
He roared urgently, "What are you doing? Stop it right now!"
"No one can stop me this time!!!"
Laxus had gone completely mad. Magic power condensed frantically in his hands, the fluctuations growing stronger. Under everyone's terrified gazes, the golden magic was fully activated.
"Fairy Law!"
Rumble!
The world vibrated as a massive golden magic circle unfolded in the heavens, illuminating the rolling dark clouds with golden light.
Then, the golden light erupted, its holy radiance covering tens of thousands of meters, instantly swallowing everything.
Once this magic is cast, all existences that the caster truly considers enemies in their heart will disappear!
"Not good!"
"Laxus made his move, hurry and dodge!"
Fear grew in everyone's hearts; some were so scared they crawled on the ground, while others hid behind stone pillars.
The dazzling holy golden light lasted for five minutes before it finally began to fade.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes. The situation was somewhat unexpected; not a single person present had died.
Laxus's laughter came to an abrupt halt, his eyes widening in disbelief: "How is this possible!"
Erza breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "That's because deep down in your heart, you don't consider us enemies. You can't lie to magic, Laxus!"
"Laxus, stop fighting!"
The crowd began to persuade him one after another. They truly didn't want to be enemies with Laxus. On one hand, he was a comrade; on the other hand, this guy fought too ruthlessly, using lightning at every turn—who could withstand that?
Hearing everyone's persuasion, Laxus became enraged once again. These people couldn't understand him at all. Friendship, comrades—he didn't need any of it!
"Shut up!"
Terrifying magic power rose again, and the violent golden lightning became lawless, tearing everything apart.
"Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage..."
Irene frowned slightly and waved her magic staff, a scarlet barrier appearing in front of her: "What an energetic fellow."
This boy's Dragon Slaying Magic talent was even higher than hers; reaching this level at his age was truly astonishing.
It wasn't just Laxus; many people in Fairy Tail had great potential, especially that unkillable Natsu, who turned emotions into flames. Every time he broke through his limits at the edge of life and death, his strength would jump up a level.
No wonder Acnologia valued this place; it truly was extraordinary.
Seeing that Laxus still wanted to attack the others, Natsu finally became completely enraged, his eyes flickering with the flames of anger.
Laxus was shocked: "Why? Why can you still get up?"
Even he wouldn't be able to endure such terrifying injuries. Why wouldn't this guy, who was weaker than him, stay down?
Natsu's expression was determined, the temperature of his flames rising even higher: "I will absolutely not fall before I beat you!"
"I'm going to kill you! Thunder Dragon Halberd!"
Laxus roared toward the sky, transforming into lightning. He gripped his hands, and the terrifying lightning turned into a trident. He threw it forward violently, the terrifying fluctuations destroying the earth and obliterating everything.
"Not good!"
Makarov rushed out instantly, his body growing large as he stood in front of Natsu.
"Stop!"
"Master!"
"Laxus, stop quickly!"
Under everyone's terrified gazes, just as the Thunder Dragon Halberd was about to hit Makarov, Irene acted, raising her hand to negate it with a blast of magic power.
"Irene's magic!"
"Let's go together and take down this bastard!"
Everyone was furious. Was Laxus insane? Was he even going to kill his own grandfather?
They would never acknowledge such a person!
"No one come over!"
Natsu roared, taking heavy steps past Makarov, his eyes flickering with infinite rage: "I will be the one to take down Laxus!"
Laxus's eyes widened, and he subconsciously stepped back. He hadn't actually wanted to kill Makarov just now; he just couldn't stop his hand. Now, seeing the enraged Natsu, he actually felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Why!
He didn't understand why this guy could still stand up!
"Fire Dragon's..."
Natsu's entire body was boiling with flames. At this moment, the temperature climbed rapidly, causing the ground to melt and collapse as he instantly charged at Laxus.
"Consecutive Iron Fists!"
"Fire Dragons Claw! Wing Attack! Sword Horn!!"
"Dragon Slaying Secret Art, Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"
Accompanying Natsu's frantic attacks, Laxus could no longer hold his ground. The lava-like flames pushed him back again and again. With a final strike of sweeping fire, he was slammed hard into the ruins, unable to get up again.
It wasn't just the physical injuries and exhaustion; perhaps he himself didn't want to get up anymore... With Natsu's Roar to the sky, the battle finally came to an end!
Lucy hurriedly ran over and caught the nearly unconscious Natsu as he was about to fall, her face showing worry: "Why does it have to end up like this every time? We're all here; we could have fought together."
"Actually, Natsu is a very considerate person..."
Acnologia walked over, took Natsu from Lucy's arms, and placed him on level ground.
Then Irene activated her healing magic, a scarlet light enveloping the entire area.
"He just hoped Laxus would turn back. If a weaker comrade had died while fighting Laxus, then Laxus could never be forgiven."
In the end, Natsu just wanted to shoulder all the damage himself to give Laxus a chance to repent.
He really is an irredeemable fool; no wonder so many people like him.
