Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

"One...one strike???"

The pipe that Wakaba had always held in his mouth like a precious treasure fell to the ground at that moment.

[Wakaba, however, paid no attention whatsoever.]

The scene from just now is still replaying in my mind.

[Clearly... both sides were evenly matched.]

[Clearly, the magical power unleashed by both sides was enough to chill everyone to the bone.]

[Clearly...]

"How...how could this happen???" Macao couldn't help but rub his eyes.

They even started to think they were dreaming.

That's Laxus, after all!

[Makarov's grandson, the grandson who inherited Makarov's powerful magic.]

[A monster who, at such a young age, has already surpassed them in every way!]

But this monster... it was actually killed in a single blow?!

[Is this really that outrageous?!]

Kana instinctively covered her mouth with both hands.

But her trembling pupils betrayed her.

"That's too strong! Is this why the guild leader kept advising you not to challenge him?"

Gray was no longer able to respond to Cana's words.

Cold sweat covered Gray's forehead.

For the first time, the mage of the highest rank actually felt a chill run down his spine.

[So much so that he, who wasn't wearing a shirt, started to tremble slightly.]

Even Makarov, unable to contain his shock, gaped open.

Although I had considered that Laxus wouldn't be a match for Hennez.

But... isn't this a bit too abrupt?

Before witnessing that terrifying roar, Makarov thought Hanatsu was holding back, intending to test his skills against Laxus. But... he defeated him with a single blow?

Outside the sky.

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Laxus couldn't help but hold his forehead.

It was difficult to look directly at the sky.

It's just... far too much of a peace-keeping exercise.

Especially considering that Natsu still exists within the guild.

Laxus couldn't keep his face down any longer.

Freed: "I never imagined that the illustrious Laxus would be so brutally defeated in a parallel world. That Hacknatsu is truly despicable!"

Laxus: "Stop talking, stop talking. From the moment I chose to challenge Hello Natsu in that world, the ending was probably already decided."

"But... I didn't expect it to end so quickly. How embarrassing, how embarrassing!!!"

Hades: "Hahaha, you blond brat, you've finally met your match!"

"Back on Sirius Island, weren't you pretty arrogant? What, not so arrogant now?"

"One second he was spouting nonsense, and the next second he's lying on the ground?"

Brian: "You wouldn't understand, would you? That's the good thing about young people, they just fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."

Laxus: "So, what are you guys so smug about?"

"Have you forgotten that in the future, you were also Honez's enemies?"

"How many seconds do you think it will take you to get there?"

Laxus's rebuttal instantly silenced Brian and Hades, who had just been laughing heartily.

Yes, it seems that in Honez's future, they are also enemies?

Upon realizing this, the two of them panicked.

"No way, are we going to get wiped out in an instant too???"

[In the scene.]

A wisp of smoke gradually rose from Laxus's forehead.

Laxus, lying on the ground, seemed to twitch reflexively before...

There was no further movement.

The scene was completely silent.

[It wasn't until Heinazus withdrew his fist that Makarov, acting as the referee, came to his senses.]

[Immediately and loudly announce:]

"The battle is over! The winner is... Natsu!"

Immediately afterward, Makarov rushed over and began checking Laxus's injuries.

After the examination, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, she just fainted."

Makarov turned his gaze to Henna.

"It has to be you again, that's an exaggeration."

Hyunaz smiled, said nothing, and instead looked behind him.

"So, it's Gray's turn next, right?"

"Huh??? Where did everyone go??"

Following Honez's gaze, everyone looked at the spot where Gray had just stood.

But where is Gray now?

Apart from the empty fallen leaves lying on the ground, there was nothing else.

"Huh?! When?"

Even Cana, who had been standing next to Gray, was stunned.

If I remember correctly, Gray was just standing here a moment ago?

"What? He just disappeared all of a sudden??"

Kana was completely bewildered.

The audience members were also completely bewildered.

"That Gray guy, he got away?!" After a long pause, Makarov finally reacted and shouted.

"That brat, did he run away because he saw the enemy was too strong?"

"Damn it! We can't let that guy get away with it!"

"Go after him! That guy is such a disgrace!!"

"We really misjudged that guy; he actually deserted at the last minute!"

The enraged guild members mobilized, determined to capture Gray, who had deserted the battle, and force him into a fight.

[After all, who told this guy to start off with such empty talk? Now he's kicked a hornet's nest and he's running away.]

It's not that easy!

A group of troublemakers kicked up a cloud of dust and quickly disappeared from Black Natsu's sight.

Soon, only Laxus, who was lying motionless on the ground, Makarov, Cana, and Henna remained on the spot.

Shrugging, Henna said helplessly, "Aren't these people a bit too enthusiastic?"

Makarov waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry about it. Most of those guys are just looking for an outlet because they just lost money. If I'm not mistaken, it'll be another chaotic battle when they catch up with Gray."

【"but……"】

At this point, Makarov looked at Henna with some curiosity.

"I'm curious to know just how much power you haven't yet revealed?"

Makarov's aged eyes were fixed intently on Black Natsu.

It was as if they wanted to see right through him.

[Honatsu straightened his expression in response.]

"So... even the guild leader wants to have a match?"
