"This guy..."
A flash of dread passed over Keyes's face. Although he had long heard from Kyoka that Fairy Tail's Takeshi was an incredible monster, seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt he was excessively strong.
"He's not just 'this guy' as you say, he's the strongest man in Fairy Tail, Takeshi." Juvia said proudly.
As a former opponent of Fairy Tail and a member of Phantom Lord, she knew best how powerful Takeshi was. It could be said that as long as Takeshi was there, Fairy Tail would never lose.
"What a terrifying fellow! Even more terrifying than the strength he showed during the Grand Magic Games."
Silver also saw Takeshi's destructive strike from a distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"You watched the Grand Magic Games?" Gray looked toward Silver.
Originally, he and Juvia were fighting Keyes together, but this man appeared and took him away without a word. The opponent also used Ice Magic and was even stronger than himself.
Silver said with a mocking look, "Of course. The Grand Magic Games is a very interesting festival. We demons from the Books of Zeref need to find some fun when we have nothing to do."
"However, compared to the others in your guild, your performance was too pathetic. Not to mention you didn't even participate in the competition part, you even lost to Lyon in the battle part, didn't you?"
"How embarrassing. To think you're a Mage who uses Ice Magic, aren't you the weakest Mage in Fairy Tail?"
Gray wasn't provoked by Silver's words but instead said seriously, "Maybe."
Silver's eyebrows twitched. "You really have no ambition."
Gray said, "Say what you want, but Tartaros is finished anyway."
...
"That guy... he actually cut through such a large mountain?!" Ezel was startled when he saw Takeshi split a mountain with one axe strike.
"This monster! Doesn't he have any weaker transformations?!" Gajeel didn't know what to say.
Since he first met Takeshi, Takeshi had shown unparalleled strength. In the arena, he had been crushed and defeated by Takeshi.
Since then, he had been training hard to grow stronger. Every time he thought the gap between him and Takeshi had closed, he found that the other had pulled even further ahead.
Now, he couldn't even see Takeshi's back anymore. However, he also realized that this wasn't a bad thing. Having such a fellow behind him, no matter how terrible things got, as long as this guy was there, it was incredibly reassuring.

"This guy..."
Mard Geer looked at the mountain that had been split open and the massive fissure beside him, his face filled with an expression of immense gravity.
Mard Geer looked at Takeshi with a serious expression and spoke, "I underestimated you."
Takeshi looked at Mard Geer and chuckled. "Did you dodge it? Your luck is quite good. I thought that strike just now would have split you in half."
Having transformed into this state, his heart was filled with arrogance. In his eyes, Mard Geer was nothing more than a toy.
Takeshi's contemptuous attitude made Mard Geer feel extremely displeased.
"Human, you have made me feel an emotion I haven't felt in a long time, called anger."
"I admit you are strong, but you are still just a human. Do you think your power will still work before the true form of Mard Geer Tartaros? After 400 years, END is finally about to be resurrected, and it is time for Mard Geer Tartaros to awaken."
Mard Geer's body began to change, quickly initiating his demonization. This was a demonic form with wings.
"My name is Mard Geer Tartaros, both the Underworld King and the Definitive Demon."
Takeshi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? This form is somewhat interesting. However, using this transformation against you is a bit like bullying. I'll switch to another transformation to play with you."
Full Body Take Over: Ulquiorra Cifer!
Since the opponent was a demon, he would also transform into the black-winged demon form to play along.
Takeshi transformed into Ulquiorra's appearance.
"Enclose! Murcielago!"
As Takeshi chanted the Resurrección release, the sky suddenly turned dark. Black raindrops fell from the sky, hitting everyone's faces and emitting an icy chill.
Soon, the anomaly in the sky vanished, and Takeshi appeared in his first stage Resurrección form.
Mard Geer looked at Takeshi's form, his eyes shifting. Takeshi now also looked just like a demon.
"Come, I'll play with you."
"Hmph! Human, do not be too arrogant!"
Mard Geer crossed his arms and then quickly spread them. A large number of thick, long thorns surged from the ground behind him, rapidly attacking Takeshi.
Sonido!
Takeshi's body flickered instantly, and he appeared in mid-air.
Seeing this, Mard Geer immediately controlled the thorns to rush toward Takeshi in the sky.
Takeshi pointed his right index finger at Mard Geer. A small black sphere rapidly condensed at the tip of his index finger.
Cero Oscuras!
Swish!
The Cero Oscuras enveloped all the thorns, and under its power, the thorns were continuously decomposed.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted at Mard Geer's position, destroying the surrounding ground.
After a moment, the smoke cleared, revealing a massive crater in the ground. Mard Geer stood in the center of the crater, using his wings to shield his body. Under the defense of his wings, he didn't seem to have taken much damage.
"Hmph! Human, this is my true strength! Tremble before my true power!"
Dea Yggdrasil!
Mard Geer opened his palm, and a spinning sphere appeared beside him, as if leading to another dimension.
Whoosh!
A massive tree emerged from the sphere, striking toward Takeshi.
Sonído!
Takeshi activated Sonído again, his body instantly moving behind Mard Geer.
A javelin-like weapon emitting a cyan glow instantly condensed in Takeshi's hand.
Mard Geer sensed the danger but was too late to dodge.
Pfft—
One of Mard Geer's wings was sliced off.
