"Wh... what?! How is this possible?!"
Jura's face changed drastically at the sight. When he saw Minerva's magic disappear earlier, he thought she had made a mistake in her casting. Now he realized that wasn't the case at all; Kael had used some unknown method to make the magic vanish.
Whoosh!
Kael aimed his hand at Jura. Jura's expression shifted. If he were caught by Kael, the consequences would be unthinkable; Minerva's earlier situation was a warning right in front of him.
"Universal Pull!"
As Kael's voice fell, Jura's body flew toward Kael, completely out of his control.
"Cliff Hammer!!!"
Jura let out a great shout. A stone wall rose from the ground to block the path between Jura and Kael, cutting off the magic.
Whoosh!
Before Jura could even steady himself, Kael's figure appeared on top of the stone wall.
"Not good!"
"Rock Mountain!!"
The moment Jura saw Kael, he activated his strongest defensive magic.
A rock mountain shaped like a war god appeared above Jura, shielding him inside.
Kael muttered calmly:
"Almighty Push!!"
Boom——————!!!
A terrifying repulsive force erupted, and the earth shook violently.
Crackle crackle———!!
Countless cracks appeared on the War God Rock Mountain, and then it began to crumble continuously.
"Uwooooooooooh!!"
Jura let out a scream of agony.
The terrifying impact shattered all the surrounding buildings. Soon, every house within several hundred meters was destroyed.
This even more terrifying destructive power frightened the audience in the Grand Magic Games arena and everyone watching the broadcast. The range of destruction was simply too massive.
After a short while, the impact subsided.
A large pit appeared in the ground. Jura lay in the crater, his clothes shredded and his body covered in wounds. He clearly had no strength left to fight.
However, although Jura was heavily injured, he remained conscious.
"Br... brilliant!!"
Jura spoke to Kael. This time, he was completely convinced of his defeat. Kael had fought three against one and left them with no way to fight back. This level of strength was perhaps something even the Four Gods of Ishgar could not match.
"As expected... of Kael! It's my... loss..."
Psh!
Before Jura could finish his sentence, his abdomen was pierced from behind.
[Wh... what————?!!!]
"Jura!!"
Everyone from Lamia Scale looked on with faces full of shock.
Jura turned his head in disbelief and saw Minerva appearing behind him. In her hand, she held Kagura's sword.
"Mi... Mi..."
Minerva said to Jura, "Since you've already lost, rather than letting Fairy Tail have the points, you might as well give them to me!"
With that, she pulled the sword out!
"Ugh!"
Jura, who was already unable to hold himself up, collapsed to the ground.
[Mi... Mi... Minerva defeated Jura! 5 points gained!!]
[Wait!! Minerva didn't just defeat Jura! There's Kagura too!! Just now, while everyone's attention was focused on Kael and Jura, Minerva had already ambushed Kagura!! She gained 5 points for that as well!!]
[In other words, Minerva gained 10 points in one go!]
Everyone looked toward the rankings.
[Overall Rankings are as follows]
Sabertooth — 61P
Fairy Tail — 56P
Mermaid Heel — 43P (Eliminated)
Lamia Scale — 39P (Eliminated)
Blue Pegasus — 37P (Eliminated)
Quatro Puppy — 22P (Eliminated)
[A massive reversal by Sabertooth! Sabertooth is now ranked first!!!]
"..."
The stands were silent at this moment. Logically, the crowd should have cheered for such a massive reversal, but Minerva's way of gaining points was far too despicable.
Stealing kills and backstabbing teammates was a shameful act.
"Hahahaha!! Kael!! No matter how great your strength is, you can still only be trampled under my feet!! The winner is king, and the loser is the villain!! Ahahahaha!!"
"Stop laughing. It sounds terrible."
"What did you say?!"
Minerva's expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Points and things like that are not important at all. It's just that because of our seven-year disappearance, everyone had to bear too much insult and pressure. That's why we came to participate."
"If I wanted to, I could easily take the championship of the Grand Magic Games. It's just that doing so feels a bit like bullying."
"Ha! What kind of stupid talk is that!!"
Minerva didn't believe a word Kael said.
"You don't believe me? That's normal. Summer insects cannot understand ice. You don't even realize the gap between you and me."
Kael looked at Minerva with indifference.
"Stop acting tough! After fighting for this long, your magic power must be heavily consumed! How much longer can you last? Now is the time to finish you! Come out!!"
At Minerva's command, four figures appeared from the surroundings. It was the other four members of Sabertooth's strongest squad.
[Is this?! Sabertooth's strongest five-man squad has gathered! Do they intend for five people to take on one?!!]
"Hey! Sabertooth is too despicable!"
Macao shouted angrily.
"That's right! Can't you play fair!"
Wakaba shouted along with him.
"Is this the way the strongest guild, Sabertooth, does things?!"
"Is Kael going to be okay?"
The members of the seven-year group were very angry and also somewhat worried. Kael's magic moves from just now were all very powerful, and the magic power consumption must have been significant.
The Tenrou team was angry at Minerva's despicable behavior, but they weren't worried about Kael's safety at all. Kael hadn't used his true strength yet. As long as Kael used his true power, he could wipe these people out in an instant.
"Everything is exactly as Milady planned."
Orga said after appearing. To be honest, he had been watching the battle from a distance earlier. This Kael guy was truly a monster. Milady, Kagura, and Jura had teamed up, yet they couldn't do anything to him.
Minerva looked at Kael and said, "Kael, to avoid suffering any physical pain, you should just surrender on your own!"
In her heart, she still felt a bit of fear toward Kael. It would be best if they didn't have to fight.
Kael raised his head to look at the sun in the sky. It was currently noon, and the sunlight was vast and intense.
"Mhm... the time is just about right now."
"What time?"
The group was confused by Kael's words.
"It's time to end the match! Sorry! I might get a bit rougher from here on out!"
"Full Body Take Over: Escanor!"
As Kael spoke, his body began to change slowly. The muscles on his body began to expand rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Kael had turned into a massive, muscular man

I also want to apologize for the lack of updates this month, haha. My PC completely died, and uploading chapters from my phone was pretty complicated.
