Just as Torafuzar stood up to continue the fight, he suddenly sensed someone behind him. He immediately swung his arm, intending to attack with his blade.
Zzzzt!
Lightning flashed for an instant as Laxus pressed his hand against Torafuzar's back.
"Oh no!"
Crack!
Golden lightning erupted, and Torafuzar was blasted straight out of the guild by the force.
"You..."
Torafuzar's expression grew serious. The man before him was incredibly strong, completely different from the two pieces of trash earlier. It seemed he could no longer hide his true strength.
"Oooooh!!!"
Torafuzar entered his Etherious Form and his body became even more hideous and his size increased.
Laxus raised his palm, and a pillar of lightning shot toward Torafuzar.
Torafuzar's body transformed, turning into something like a shimmering diamond as he raised his arms to block.
Boom!
The pillar of lightning slammed into Torafuzar's arms. Torafuzar was pushed back a short distance, smoke rising slightly from his arms, but he firmly blocked Laxus's attack.
"Hmm?"
Laxus was a bit surprised that he had managed to block his attack.
"It's useless. My Curse allows me to harden my entire body. In terms of defense, I'm one of the best in Tartaros."
Torafuzar rushed toward Laxus and threw a punch at him. Laxus turned into lightning and reappeared in the air behind Torafuzar.
Raging Bolt!
Laxus waved his hand, raining down powerful high-voltage electricity onto Torafuzar.
Boom!
"Hmph!"
Torafuzar let out a muffled groan.
Laxus's lightning magic was terrifying, even his hardening couldn't completely defend against it.
"Oh? You've got some skill." Laxus raised an eyebrow.
This guy's defense was higher than the one who had attacked Yajima.
"Die!"
Torafuzar charged at Laxus.
"But you're a bit too clumsy."
Laxus easily dodged Torafuzar's attack.
Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!
Simultaneously, he slammed a fist into Torafuzar's abdomen.
"Aaaagh!"
Torafuzar cried out in pain as he was sent flying.
Then Laxus pulled both hands apart.
Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!
A halberd formed of lightning appeared, and Laxus threw it with all his might at Torafuzar.
Boom!
"Aaaagh!" Torafuzar screamed in agony.
His diamond-like skin was now covered in a dense web of cracks.
Lightning Dragon's Roar!
Without waiting for the enemy to get up, Laxus opened his mouth and exhaled a violent blast of lightning, engulfing his body.
"Ugh!"
Boom!
The terrifying lightning even split the lake behind Fairy Tail.
After a moment, the lightning slowly dissipated. Torafuzar lay on the ground, lifeless.
"Cough! Cough!"
After confirming Torafuzar was finished, Laxus knelt on the ground, coughing. He looked at his palm and saw it was covered in blood.
Having learned his lesson from Tempester, once he confirmed Torafuzar was the same kind of being, he moved swiftly and decisively, giving the enemy no chance to self-destruct.
Then, Laxus's body went limp, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"Laxus!"

Rumble...
At this moment, a violent tremor suddenly came from the Cube.
"What's going on?!"
"This vibration?"
At this time, everyone from Fairy Tail also felt the power of this vibration, and a bad premonition arose in everyone's hearts.
"This guy is really tough to deal with." Juvia looked at Keyes before her with a heavy expression.
"Is it almost time?"
Keyes sensed that Face had been activated.
Mirajane and Seilah were in a fierce battle, with Mirajane being slightly suppressed by Seilah.
Mirajane looked at Seilah and said, "Is this a true demon? I've still been too lax in my training."
A look of surprise and joy appeared on Kyoka's face. "It seems Face has been activated, even Cube can feel it."
"Face? How can that be?!" Erza's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Crawford should have been held at Fairy Tail. Could someone have attacked Fairy Tail and killed Crawford?
"Face has been activated. The magic power of this continent will soon disappear. Your Fairy Tail, and the humans of this continent, are all finished."
"No matter how much you struggle, it's useless! You've lost, humans!"
Kyoka looked at Erza with a slightly crazed smile on her face.
Natsu and Happy were unsteady on their feet.
Franmalth laughed loudly. "It's starting to react to Face! The magic power of the entire continent will vanish!"
"How can this be?!"
Natsu and Happy's expressions changed drastically upon hearing Franmalth's words. If Crawford was dead and Face was activated, then the humans of this continent were truly finished.
"Before that, hand over your soul!"
Franmalth continuously attacked Natsu and Happy.
Natsu hurriedly dodged. Through the battle just now, he discovered that Franmalth could absorb anything, whether it was people or magic.
"I won't hand my soul over to you!" Natsu shouted at Franmalth.
"Humph! It's impossible for you to win against me. Have you forgotten that I still possess Hades' magic?"
Amaterasu: Formula 28!
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
After the explosion subsided, Natsu lay on the ground covered in wounds, unable to move for a moment.
"So this is Hades' power..."
Happy was also caught in the explosion and fell to the side. Previously on Tenrou Island, they had seen Hades being brutally beaten by Takeshi, so they hadn't personally felt how powerful Hades' strength truly was.
Now they felt it. Although this guy was clearly still quite inferior to Hades, his strength was still terrifying.
Swish... Swish...
Franmalth's arms elongated, and his fingers spread out, wrapping around Natsu.
"This time, I will definitely absorb your souls."
"Arghhhhh!"
Natsu let out a scream of agony.
"Natsu!"
Seeing Natsu scream in pain, Happy couldn't help but shout anxiously.
"You might as well join him!"
Franmalth's arm elongated and grabbed Happy, beginning to absorb Happy's soul as well.
"What... is going on..."
"My power..."
"Become my new collection! Your souls belong to me!" Franmalth shouted excitedly.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"Never... giving it to you... how could I give it to you... my soul is right here... but I will absolutely never give it to you!!!" Natsu shouted through gritted teeth.
Hearing Natsu's words, a mocking expression appeared on Franmalth's face. "A futile struggle."
"Before I reunite with Igneel... I... will absolutely not hand over my soul! Nor will I give my will to you! I must see Igneel, aaaaaah!"
Boom!
Natsu roared loudly, and suddenly, a scorching power surged from his body.
"Useless..."
"Aaaarghhhh!!!"
Franmalth suddenly let out a loud scream of pain, quickly withdrawing his arms from Natsu and Happy. His body caught fire, and he began rolling around on the ground.
"Waaaaah!!!"
"So hot! So hot! It's burning me to death!"
"Why is it so hot! It's too hot!"
