Chapter 165 The Final Battle Begins
Both being physical attack types, Dragon Destroyer Swordsman is a tier below Chaos Swordsman based solely on stats.
But if you add monster effects, the situation changes completely!
Leaving aside the "gods" whom even Chase knows very little about, the strongest creature in Fairy Tail is undoubtedly the dragon.
Both the five divine dragons and the black dragon Acnologia, who possesses absolute magic immunity, are formidable enemies that we will inevitably have to face in the future.
Even the most ordinary dragon is enough to pose a great threat and disaster to oneself and the guild!
Therefore, given the current difficulty in luring the Sky Dragon to descend, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman, with its Dragon-specific attack ability, becomes especially important, providing at least another means of dealing with the situation.
Moreover, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman can fuse with the Dark Magician to become an even more destructive Super Magician Swordsman!
Unfortunately, through previous testing, Chess already knew that Fusion Summoning is a type of Special Summoning, and that the corresponding Fusion Monster Card must be obtained first.
But if we already have Dragon Destroyer Swordsmen, how far away can Super Magical Swordsmen be?
This period is relatively safe. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless and go looking for trouble with the Five Dragons and Acnologia, he still has plenty of time to develop his strength in a low-key manner!
A sudden, piercing crackle of electricity in the sky interrupted Chase's thoughts.
Looking up, one could see numerous lightning crystals in the sky beginning to accumulate energy, their emitted electric sparks interconnected, illuminating the entire town of Magnolia.
Because of his intervention, Natsu and Gajeel did not clash with Laxus as they did in the original story. In addition, his neutral status brought various effects to the entire Fairy Tail civil war, which prevented the Thunder Palace from being destroyed in advance.
Time seems to be running out.
Chase dusted himself off and walked toward Natsu and Gajeel, who were arguing on the ruins.
The specific effects of the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman and the signing of the contract can only be studied in detail later. The most important thing to solve right now is to beat up Laxus and end the civil war!
"Damn it! I need to subdue Chess quickly and defeat that bastard Laxus!"
Natsu noticed the increasingly violent magic crystals in the sky, and struggled to his feet, supporting himself on his knees. "Hey, Chizuru, we still have the option of playing cards, right?!"
"Although I feel the odds of winning are even lower than fighting, this is the only option!"
Gajeel also stood up shakily, his lowered eyelids revealing an incredibly resolute gaze.
"That's true in theory, but—"
Chase stopped in front of the two men, pointed to the dilapidated surroundings, and said, "Unfortunately, the card-playing platform has been blown up."
"What?!?!"
The two dragons, who were ready to show off their card skills, were suddenly startled, covered their heads and stared wide-eyed.
"It doesn't really matter whether we play cards or not, because I'm on your side now," Chase said.
Upon hearing this, Gajeel's face lit up with joy, but he remained silent.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to ask why the other party suddenly changed his mind. As long as this man, who was as strong as a monster, was willing to join the battle, that would be the best outcome!
Then, the single-minded Natsu blurted out, "But we couldn't defeat you even when the two of us teamed up!"
"Are you an idiot? Whatever the reason is?!" Gajeel couldn't hold back any longer and angrily spat out with his serrated teeth.
"Oh, I don't recall saying I needed to defeat you, did I?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a magic circle lit up beneath Chase's feet, and he held the Super Z-Force, a stamina booster that replenished his magic power, in his palm.
While sipping his oddly colored drink, he held up a finger and explained with a smile, "It's admirable to have the courage to challenge an opponent who is invincible. So, if you choose to play cards, you need to defeat me. As for fighting, whoever chooses to do it wins."
This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a decision he had made long before participating in the civil war as a neutral party.
Unfortunately, all the challengers who came here, including Lucy and Abba Greene, chose to play cards!
Of course, to be honest, this "hidden rule" is somewhat biased.
Looking across the entire guild, only the clueless Natsu would choose the latter without hesitation. "Tch, I should have let Lucy do it." Natsu grimaced regretfully.
"—You really can think of that sarcastic girl for every 'good' thing!" Gajeel roared.
Even if it's true, as Chase says, that passing the challenge is enough, we still have to have a proper fight with him.
Even the two Dragon Slayer Mages combined couldn't touch each other, so Lucy's challenge was bound to end badly.
"Actually, to me, you're no different from Lucy."
A single, brief sentence broke their defenses, and they started yelling and screaming.
Chase ignored them, threw away the empty bottle in his hand and took a step forward, his right arm magic circle flashing. Although he knew Laxus's heart, but before beating him up, just in case, he still had to get rid of the Thunder Palace that could threaten the safety of the entire town.
Metaphor!
Dark golden magic erupted and converged on the right wrist of the summoned sealed creature.
Natsu saw through his intention and quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait, Chess! The guild master said that thing is useless unless it's completely destroyed, and destroying even one of them will result in a terrible backlash!"
"The fire dragon is right, doing this is far too dangerous!" Gajeel added, trying to dissuade them.
With the guild leader falling ill and most of the guild members incapacitated, if anything were to happen to Chase, then truly no one would be able to stop Laxus!
"Danger? That's just your opinion—"
Under the shocked gazes of Natsu and Gajeel, Chess smiled calmly and threw a punch at the Thunder Palace in the sky.
The heavy fist struck the dark gold magic circle solidly, and a magic card immediately emerged from it, bursting into light.
【Spell Card - Diffusion Wave】: Expands the range of the spell attack from a single target to all targets identified as enemies. The more targets there are, the more mana it consumes.
Because of its significant area-of-effect attack, this card is usually used by Chase as "The Law of the Little Fairies," specifically to clear out small monsters and minions.
While the Thunder Crystal is powerful, it is not very durable (Lucy can shatter it with a single whip).
It doesn't consume too much magic power.
More importantly, the targets damaged by the spread of the wave cannot activate their effects, making it an absolute nemesis of the Thunder Palace!
buzzing.
With the blessing of the magic card, dark golden energy waves spread outwards from Chase's fist in all directions.
The target was quite clear: the lightning crystal suspended high in the sky!
Bang bang bang bang!
Wherever the fist passed, the lightning crystals exploded one after another like dazzling fireworks.
Such a spectacular scene attracted countless passersby to stop and watch, praising Fairy Tail for having so many shows.
Natsu and Gajeel stared in disbelief at Chess's unharmed state: No lightning strikes came down?!
On the other side, to the east, is a forest.
On the battlefield scarred by countless wounds, after a fierce magical clash, the Dark Mage and the Dark Magician Girl simultaneously distanced themselves and returned to Freed and Mira's side.
After a fierce battle, Fried, who was seriously injured, was exhausted and panting heavily. Even standing was a struggle for him.
Mira, forced to revert to her demon form, also lost her ability to fight, but unlike Fried's severe injuries,
She simply didn't have enough magic.
"Fried, our master is preparing for war. Our cooperation ends here."
The Dark Mage raised his eyes and glanced at the Thunder Palace, which had been completely destroyed.
"So you finally couldn't hold back anymore, Chase—" Fried's expression was complicated, and his tone carried a hint of relief.
When he heard that Laxus was going to start a civil war, he was actually very conflicted because he was unwilling to fight his comrades. This conflict and worry reached its peak after the extremely dangerous Thunder Palace appeared.
Perhaps, letting Chase stop Laxus would be the best outcome.
That's what he was thinking.
"It's okay. I've been very happy fighting alongside you during this time."
"I can only agree to your discussion of magical techniques after everything is over."
Fried sighed heavily. "If only I could stay in the guild—"
After saying that, his body, which had already reached its limit, finally gave way and he knelt on the ground.
"Yay! Mira, we won!" The Dark Magician Girl clenched her fist happily.
Just as the Dark Magician said, despite the blessing of her exclusive magic card, she was still beaten pretty badly and almost passed out. "Yeah!" Mira nodded emphatically, a relieved smile spreading across her face.
Now that Chase has begun his actions, this civil war can be declared over ahead of schedule.
"Let's go, you idiot apprentice."
"Yes, Master!"
After greeting Mira, the black mage apprentice immediately transformed into two streaks of light, one dark and one pink, and flew towards Chase's location.
At the same time, card monsters in other locations were also summoned and disappeared from their original locations.
Magnolia Cathedral.
The raging thunderbolts clashed, and wherever the arcs of electricity passed, rows of glass windows shattered.
Erza wore the Thunder Emperor Armor and held the Thunder Emperor Spear. Her two long, flowing ponytails swayed gently in the wind.
Just now, while running through the street, she casually dealt with Biggleslow, and then was attracted by the commotion of Laxus and Mystogan's battle, and successfully came over.
Mystogan was distracted by her sudden appearance and had his mask knocked off by Laxus, revealing that he looked exactly like Geralt.
Knowing what his face meant to Erza, Mystogan lost his will to fight and hurriedly fled the scene.
What happened with that explosion? Did someone destroy the Thunder Palace? And who exactly is Mystogan?
Erza frowned, her thoughts somewhat chaotic.
It's sizzling!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
Erza quickly raised the Thunder Emperor's Spear and created a protective shield to block the attack.
"Damn Chase, he's broken the rules of the game time and time again—"
Laxus's eyes turned bloodshot as he sensed the complete annihilation of the Thunder Palace. His face was contorted with rage, and his surging, violent magic erupted like a volcano. At the same time, dragon fangs appeared in his mouth, and the muscles in his upper body rapidly expanded, making his already robust and imposing physique even more intimidating.
"Laxus, could it be that you are too?!" Erza's pupils shrank.
On those incredibly powerful muscles, she saw dragon scales that only Dragon Slayers like Natsu and Gajeel possessed!
"That's right, he's a second-generation Dragon Slayer Mage who ate the Dragon Slayer Crystal."
The calm voice from behind answered her question.
Erza turned around abruptly and, sure enough, saw that reassuring, familiar face. A smile spread across her face: "Chess!"
"Erza, leave the rest to me."
Without offering further explanation, Chase stretched his limbs and, enveloped in increasingly surging dark golden magic, headed towards Laxus.
Erza nodded slightly, removed the Thunder Emperor Armor, and silently stepped aside to make way.
"Chase, where did you hear this news from?" Laxus asked coldly, bathed in lightning.
Because Makarov was so talkative, he didn't tell anyone else the secret.
"Is this really that important?" Chase stopped in his tracks.
"Yeah, all I can think about right now is grinding you to dust!"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Laxus roared and unleashed the power of lightning.
"Let's begin! The strongest battle of Fairy Tail!"
