"You actually ate the soul of the 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion?!"
Kirin stared wide-eyed at Laxus, who, ignoring Alexion's resentment, forcibly devoured the Dragon King's soul to enhance his own power, causing his magic power to directly ascend from 'Human Strongest' to 'Heavenly King' level, and even continuing to grow...
Kirin never expected that the soul of Alexion, who was his childhood nightmare, constantly whispering in his ear to go to the South Continent Ishgar to find his lost heart, would be annihilated just like that?!
"Hey, Kirin!"
"You just told me that the reason my power is so strong is entirely due to the lightning-attribute Dragon Slaying Lacrima (the heart of the 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion) in my chest?!"
"Don't joke around! I've never taken this Lacrima seriously!"
"Magic has always been the power of the heart! If you don't have a strong inner self, no matter how powerful the magic given to you, you will still be weak..."
"As for me? I am not strong! All the power in my body comes from the companions behind me, who will unconditionally support me and care for me, no matter what decision I make, and who will never abandon me, even if my personality is terrible!"
"Since you are so obsessed with this lightning-attribute Dragon Slaying Lacrima, then let me give it to you; it's not a necessary item anyway..."
Saying this, Laxus cut open his own chest and forcibly pulled out the Thunder Dragon Slaying Lacrima, which had long since merged with his heart, ignoring the blood and fragments of internal organs clinging to the crystal, and casually threw it onto the ground, tossing it in front of Kirin.
"You just abandoned your source of power?!"
"That's the heart of the 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion, a monster who, even in his twilight years, could severely injure and nearly kill Master George Leisen..."
Kirin was dumbfounded as he watched Laxus tear open his chest and dig out the Dragon Slaying Lacrima.
At this moment, Kirin clearly knew that he would definitely not be Laxus's opponent, at least not his current self.
This man in front of him was unfathomable!
"This Dragon Slaying Lacrima was originally forced upon me by someone else..."
"Now, it's just cutting off the karmic ties between that person and me!"
"Alright, that's enough talk!"
"Any more, and it'll sound a bit sentimental..."
"Next, I will show you my strongest magic..."
The moment Laxus dug out the Dragon Slaying Lacrima from his chest, allowing the blood to flow out, the golden lightning around him instantly turned crimson!
This was the power of Scarlet Lightning, the ultimate secret technique Laxus learned from his great-grandfather, Yuri...
Scarlet Lightning is lightning imbued with life force, and its source of power is blood!
In other words, the more wounds a Mage using Scarlet Lightning has, and the more severe their injuries, the stronger the lightning they unleash...
Using Scarlet Lightning in a near-death state can even allow one's power to cross an entire major rank.
Coincidentally, Laxus was currently on the verge of death...
Although Laxus's largest wound was self-inflicted, of course.
Hmm, Katakuri from the "ONE PIECE" world silently gave Laxus a thumbs-up. A true man needs no words.
"Kirin! Feel the power of a Mage from the Fairy Tail Guild!"
Laxus shouted, once again uttering the ultimate secret of the Fairy Tail Guild: We are all Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild...
When the unique 'near-death' state buff of a Scarlet Lightning Mage, the unique 'We are all Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild' ultimate buff of a Fairy Tail member, and the mental buff resulting from the resonance between Laxus's proud soul and the 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion, all three buffs were applied, Laxus's final punch reached the 'Shield-class' level!!!
Hmm, the external combat power amplification for Fairy Tail Mages is just that unreasonable.
Even if Diabolos, the Dragon Eater, will eventually become a Fairy Tail branch.
"Dragon Slaying Secret Art: Thunder Dragon King's Blazing Scarlet Lightning!"
"Boom!!"
As the overwhelming crimson lightning swept over Kirin's entire body, he vaguely saw the 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion in his prime roaring at him incessantly...
"So that's it, you are Alexion's chosen successor?!"
At this moment, Kirin finally revealed a relieved smile, allowing Laxus's crushing punch to send him flying.
Hmm, with Kirin's defeat!
The four Magic Guilds—Blue Pegasus, Hounds, Guardians, and Diabolos—all retreated in defeat.
"Rumble..."
After defeating Kirin, Laxus gasped for breath, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and his whole body swayed, having burned himself to his limit.
"You are indeed very strong."
Laxus looked at the fallen Kirin and nodded slightly.
Hmm, at this moment, Laxus acknowledged Kirin's strength.
"Hoo..."
After doing all this, Laxus slowly let out a breath, his gaze incredibly firm, and he thought to himself, "Now is not the time to rest; the real battle has just begun!"
Hmm, once all external enemies were defeated, this game before the Harvest Festival had only just begun! Next up was the internal conflict of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Meanwhile.
At the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Laxus is that strong?!"
Wraith (Ghost) watched in shock as Laxus completely defeated Kirin in the 'Lacrima,' his mouth slightly agape as he murmured.
"Makarov..."
"Your grandson's strength has reached the level of a Ten Wizard Saint, hasn't it?!"
Ajima, with his hands behind his back, looked at Laxus, who had defeated Kirin in the Lacrima, a hint of relief flickering in his eyes. In Ajima's opinion, Laxus's current performance had completely met the standard of a Ten Wizard Saint.
"Ten Wizard Saint?!"
Makarov's expression was somewhat silent upon hearing this.
The level of a Ten Wizard Saint, what a niche term. Laxus had already crossed the threshold of a Ten Wizard Saint when he was seventeen...
Now, Laxus was so powerful that even he couldn't clearly gauge his strength.
"No..."
However, before Makarov could speak, Wolfheim, currently the third-ranked Ten Wizard Saint, shook his head first and spoke.
"Huh?!"
"Vice-Chairman Wolfheim, do you mean that Laxus has not yet reached the level of a Ten Wizard Saint?"
"But then again, Laxus is only nineteen this year. A nineteen-year-old Ten Wizard Saint would be a bit too exaggerated. He still has a lot of room for growth."
