Kael's body began to change. His original black clothes turned into a white high-collared, long-sleeved coat with a black lining. His lower body wore white hakama pants, secured by a wide black belt. A Zanpakuto was tucked into the belt, and he wore black socks with white shoes.
His skin became slightly pale, his eyes turned green, and green tear marks appeared beneath them. The left half of his head was covered by a white horned helmet.
"Mmm... my magic power is quite a bit lower, but taking over Ulquiorra is still possible."
Kael could sense that releasing magic would be a bit difficult. However, his magic power hadn't disappeared; the opponent didn't have the ability to make his magic vanish.
He had merely narrowed the outlet. His internal magic power was still there.
"You can still use magic? However, even if you can use magic, its power will be significantly reduced under the effect of the Law of Retrogression!!"
Doriate rushed toward Kael, throwing a punch.
SMACK!
Kael raised his hand and blocked Doriate's fist.
"What?! How can you block my attack!!"
Doriate was shocked.
Kael asked in return: "Why did you think I wouldn't be able to block your attack?"
"Your defense should have been significantly lowered!"
"I see. My defense has indeed decreased a lot, but that doesn't mean you've become stronger! Your attack isn't strong. Not only is it not strong, it's actually very weak."
"Weak?! You're saying my attack is weak?!"
Doriate was beyond furious, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Aaaaaaaaah!! I'm going to kill you!!"
Doriate roared and rushed at Kael.
"Fool."
Kael's body flashed, appearing in front of Doriate, and he slammed a fist into Doriate's abdomen.
"GAH!!"
Doriate roared in pain and swung a fist to attack Kael.
Kael tapped his foot, his body leaping easily to dodge. At the same time, he raised a leg and kicked Doriate.
Doriate's body was sent flying sideways.
BOOM!!
Doriate's body hit a wall, and the wall shattered instantly.
Rumble, rumble!
Doriate's body stood up again. His body became massive, his muscles bulging and twisting. Huge claws grew on his feet, and large fangs appeared in his mouth. His entire being looked like a demon.
"ROAR————!"
The giant monster let out a roar and quickly rushed toward Kael.
"Have you lost your mind?"
Looking at the opponent's appearance, Kael could tell that the man's mental state was somewhat abnormal.
Doriate swung his fist down at Kael.
SMACK!
Kael raised his palm and steadily blocked the attack.
Excluding magic, Haki, and other attributes, Ulquiorra's physical defense was the strongest.
"You've become a bit stronger, but it's still limited."
"ROAR————!"
Doriate swung his other fist at Kael. Kael raised his arm and blocked it firmly.
Kael raised a foot and kicked Doriate in the stomach.
Doriate's body flew backward directly.
BOOM————!
CRACK, CRACK!
The massive body crashed into the iceberg.
Before Doriate could get up, Kael used Sonido to teleport in front of Doriate, pointing a finger at Doriate's chest.
"Cero!"
SWOOSH————!
An emerald Cero pierced through Doriate's body.
BOOM————!
A large hole was blasted into the iceberg.
For a guy like this, Kael usually didn't show mercy. Once Kael identified someone as an enemy, he would finish them off completely.
"Cough, cough... you... you actually attacked someone from Tartaros... you've opened the gates of hell, you're finished... I'll be waiting for you in the underworld..."
After spitting out his final threat, Doriate lost his life.
"Tartaros? I've forgotten the plot a bit! But I'll deal with it when I run into them!"
Kael didn't take Tartaros to heart. To others on the Ishgar continent, Tartaros was a terrifying and mysterious dark guild. Its members were demons from the Books of Zeref who had once brought terrifying disasters to this land.
But in Kael's eyes, it wasn't a big deal. Tartaros was mysterious, but in terms of strength, they were only about the level of an average Wizard Saint.
The strongest among them could probably compare to the Four Kings of Ishgar, but that still didn't matter to Kael.
It would be fine if the opponent didn't show up. If they did, he wouldn't mind erasing the guild entirely.
At this moment, Minerva stood in the sky on a one-eyed giant bird, watching the scene below.
"That fool Doriate actually dared to face Kael. He was truly seeking his own death."
Minerva looked down at the dead Doriate with contempt. Doriate's magic was indeed special, but he was still easily killed by Kael. She didn't know how many transformations Kael had, but she understood one thing: with her strength, she would never be this guy's match. From now on, she would stay as far away from this monster as possible.
"I'd better leave quickly! If I'm discovered by this monster, it's over!"
Minerva immediately steered the giant bird away. She was now a member of a dark guild, and this wasn't the Grand Magic Games. If she ran into Kael here, she didn't think Kael would show mercy or spare her life.
Kael looked up at the sky. Ulquiorra had very strong sensing abilities. He naturally sensed the magic power in the sky, but since the opponent didn't descend, he didn't bother to care.
On the other side, Natsu discovered that although the three people from Sylph Labyrinth weren't mages, their strength was not to be underestimated.
Natsu said in surprise: "You guys are this strong without using magic?!"
Hiro the swordsman said proudly: "Hey, hey, don't lump our Sylph Labyrinth in with ordinary Treasure Hunter guilds. We are the guild that won the grand victory in the Great Treasure Games, which decides the number one Treasure Hunter guild in Fiore!!"
"DONG————!"
Happy: "So Treasure Hunters have festivals similar to the Grand Magic Games too!"
"Con... Congratulations!"
Lucy didn't quite know how to react.
Natsu said with a face full of admiration: "That's really impressive!!"
Lala the hammer-wielder said: "If you understand, then go back quietly. Ordinary mages are no match for us. DONG————!"
A smile appeared on Natsu's face: "That won't do. It just so happens that you are the guild that won the Great Treasure Games, Sylph Labyrinth, and we are the guild that won the Grand Magic Games, Fairy Tail. We should settle this once and for all. I'm fired up!!"
Hiro and the other two were stunned when they heard Natsu's words.
"The Grand Magic Games..."
"The winning guild... Fairy Tail?!"
"DONG————!!"
Only then did the three notice the guild emblem on Natsu's shoulder and on the back of Lucy's hand.
"It really is Fairy Tail!!!"
