Upon hearing this reminder, everyone immediately assumed a fighting stance, staring gravely at the five individuals slowly approaching. Wendy, however, fearfully hid behind a large boulder.
"Are they… Oración Seis?" Lucy was somewhat shocked by the five people in front of her, noting their clearly unpleasant appearances.
"A bunch of ants, daring to gather together." The leader, Brian, looked at the crowd with disdain in his eyes.
"You people are an eyesore. I advise you to hand over the Angel immediately!" Laser looked down haughtily at Natsu and the others, his expression causing Natsu and the others to glare angrily at the five.
"Tch, I can't pretend I didn't hear those words, trash." Laxus crackled with lightning, similarly looking at the group opposite him with contempt. He instantly flashed forward, appearing before the five, and slammed a Lightning Fist directly towards Brian.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Ah~"
However, Laser was incredibly fast, flashing in front of Brian and using his foot to meet Laxus's Lightning Fist. Although he blocked it, he was still sent flying by an immense force, only to be steadily caught by Cobra's snake.
The ground in front of Brian was cracked and shattered by the immense force.
At this moment, Brian looked at Laxus with a serious expression, realizing that Laxus's magic power was extraordinarily strong.
The other four Magicians also dropped their dismissive attitudes, looking at Laxus with solemn expressions.
"Haha, Laxus, well done."
"So strong, as expected of Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage!"
Natsu was the first to jump up and cheer for Laxus, while Gray, Erza, and the others looked at Laxus with pride.
Everyone else was stunned by Laxus's speed and attack power.
Cobra was also staring intently at Laxus. Although he could hear some of Laxus's sounds, these sounds undoubtedly told him that this man was very strong.
"Sōka, you are Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage—Laxus. Indeed, your strength is enough to warrant my attention."
Brian took a step forward, dark energy swirling around his body, displaying extremely powerful magic to everyone.
Brian's actions clearly indicated he intended to face Laxus alone.
"Hey, Laxus, you…" Natsu and Gray looked at Brian with shock, having also sensed it.
At the same time, the magic power emanating from Brian was now colliding with Laxus's magic power, and some electric sparks crackled loudly during the collision.
"Don't worry about me, the others are up to you." Laxus replied without turning his head, then his magic power suddenly erupted. He gathered lightning in his hands and directly blasted Brian into the air.
The instant Brian was hit, he had already condensed a dark barrier to block the attack and issued orders to the other four Magicians: "Retrieve the Angel, leave no one else alive."
"OK."
Laser responded first, his figure immediately vanishing from his original spot. The next second, he appeared between Natsu and Gray.
"Watch out, Natsu, Gray." The others quickly shouted warnings.
Laser's lips curved into a smug smile, as if this attack would wash away his recent humiliation.
However, just as his foot was about to touch Gray's body, Gray instantly dodged. Laser's eyes widened in surprise, somewhat disbelieving. He then attacked Natsu with even greater speed, but Natsu also dodged the next second.
Laser had no choice but to attack the others, kicking Blue Pegasus's three members to the ground with a few "bangs." Just as he was about to attack further, Gray directly forced Laser away with a Assault Rifles (presumably a type of attack or weapon).
"Are you three alright?!"
"No, no, we're fine, but he's so fast, we can't even see him!" The three handsome men from Blue Pegasus slowly stood up, rubbing their arms, looking at Laser with some solemnity.
"Interesting, interesting!" Cobra looked excited, as if he had found an opponent, as he gazed at Gray and Natsu, then immediately.
"Poison Dragon's Roar!" He extended his hand, and a giant snake mouth formed from poison mist instantly surged towards Natsu and Gray.
"Your opponent is me! Adamantine Barrier!" Erza, wearing her Adamantine Armor, blocked the attack in front of the two. However, when the poison mist hit the Adamantine Barrier, the scattered venom corroded a large area of the surrounding ground.
"Dragon Slayer Magic?" Natsu recognized the attack at a glance.
"Requip—Heaven's Wheel Armor!" Erza immediately changed into another set of armor, flew forward, and a barrage of flying swords attacked Cobra.
...
"Sherry!"
"Yes, Master Lyon!"
The two members of Lamia Scale also rushed towards Hoteye. Hoteye, however, remained unhurried, a red light flashing in his eyes.
"I see it, that's right!"
"As long as there's money, love doesn't matter."
As Hoteye spoke, he extended his hand, and magic power emanated from him. The ground instantly became soft, engulfing Lyon and Sherry.
Blue Pegasus also immediately tried to rush to help, but before they could run a few steps, Laser quickly attacked them, knocking them to the ground again, leaving them powerless to resist.
At this point in the battle, it was Erza VS Cobra, Lyon and Sherry VS Hoteye, Natsu and Gray VS Laser, and Laxus VS Leader Brian in the distant forest.
Only Midnight was still sound asleep on the carpet, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
"So amazing!"
Lucy was also astonished watching the group fighting. Just as she was about to go forward to help, she suddenly noticed Wendy still timidly staring at them from behind the boulder.
"Wendy, don't worry, you see, we're also very strong." Lucy walked over to Wendy, crouched down, and comforted her.
"Wendy, you need to be strong too." Carla looked at Wendy like this, advising her with a mix of helplessness and pity.
The ground suddenly shook violently at this moment. The two girls quickly held onto each other, then turned to find the entire ground had flipped over.
Directly throwing off everyone who was still fighting.
"Money knows no class, right!"
Hoteye used a layer of earth to block Sherry's doll attack and Lyon's ICEMAKE, then with a backhand, he instantly softened the entire ground, not even sparing Natsu, Gray, and Erza's battle areas.
The previously stalemated battle was immediately broken. Natsu and Gray were now trapped on the ground, and Laser seized the opportunity to deliver several kicks, knocking Natsu and Gray to the ground.
