"Bang bang bang~" Laxus moved like lightning, his fists landing squarely.
The numbing sensation on her body made her feel an unprecedented pressure.
Minerva could only continuously use spatial magic to shift her position, trying to dodge Laxus's attacks, but Laxus followed her like a shadow, giving her no chance to breathe.
With a loud "boom~," smoke billowed out.
Minerva tumbled out of the smoke in a sorry state.
She could only grit her teeth, staring at Laxus in the air, who was flickering with lightning and watching her indifferently. "
Damn it, how can this guy be so fast!" she cursed under her breath, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.
At this moment, Laxus's speed had surpassed Minerva's magic capture range, making her unable to effectively cast other spells to counter Laxus.
She realized that if she couldn't find a way to restrict Laxus's movements, she would be in an extremely passive situation.
Minerva pondered countermeasures while scanning her surroundings with her peripheral vision.
She was surprised to find that the other four people, besides herself, were tightly entangled by Fairy Tail members.
Although their battles were not as intense as hers with Laxus, they couldn't easily break free.
"Damn it, it's just a preliminary round, do I really have to use that kind of magic?"
Minerva was conflicted. She knew that magic was extremely powerful, but it also came with certain risks. However, the current situation left her with no choice; she had to act, or she would lose the match.
Minerva clasped her hands together, magic power surged, and spatial energy condensed like a torrent in her palms.
Her gaze was sharp, locked firmly on Laxus in the sky, and she roared, "Spatial Shockwave!" Along with this roar, a powerful spatial force suddenly erupted, shooting skyward like a sharp arrow. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be torn open, revealing dark and deep cracks.
Facing such power, Laxus's face was as calm as water, showing no fear.
"Hmph, still far from enough~"
With a pop, Armament Haki emerged from Laxus's arm.
Immediately after, countless streaks of lightning flickered and danced in his hand, finally converging into a dazzling ball of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, a Thunder Dragon Halberd shaped like a halberd formed in Laxus's hand, shimmering with black-gold light, and the crackling sound of lightning was deafening, echoing throughout the entire labyrinth.
Laxus's eyes narrowed, his arm muscles tensed, injecting all his strength into the Thunder Dragon Halberd.
Then, he swung his arm violently, throwing the Thunder Dragon Halberd with all his might.
In an instant, spatial power and lightning power collided with a deafening roar, triggering an earth-shattering explosion.
The powerful storm generated by the explosion swept across the surroundings with overwhelming force. The other Guild Members who had already been knocked to the ground were blown away like kites with broken strings, losing their qualifications to continue in the competition.
"So strong... this is Fairy Tail's true strength!" Just then, Pumpkin Host's voice suddenly rang out in the arena. He was utterly astonished, clearly deeply shaken by the astonishing scene before him.
After composing himself for a moment, he seemed to recall something, and his tone became serious.
"Everyone, Everyone, there's one more thing: one of Raven Tail's members is actually Master Ivan! Pumpkin."
"He has violated the competition rules, so according to the superiors' request, all subsequent competition qualifications will be revoked!"
"What!" Makarov immediately stood up in shock, clenching his fists. To be honest, he really hadn't noticed.
"This guy, he really doesn't learn! Is he still trying to find out that secret in such a dirty way?" Makarov was practically fuming.
He didn't expect that guy to still be so persistent.
He gazed indifferently at his troublesome son being carried away, complex emotions rising in his heart.
Beside him, First Generation Mavis also looked on expressionlessly, lost in thought.
August, on the other hand, stood silently behind Mavis, draping his cloak over her.
The cloak was large, completely enveloping Mavis.
"Wow, this is too amazing! Fairy Queen actually wiped out an entire Guild by herself!"
"Yeah, yeah, did you notice that the other Fairy Tail members are also super awesome? Each of them single-handedly eliminated several Guilds!"
"Although those Guilds didn't seem very strong, it's not easy to deal with them effortlessly!"
"And look at them now, they're still at ease while fighting Sabertooth members, and they even have the upper hand!"
"Oh my goodness, these guys in Fairy Tail are simply a bunch of monsters!"
"As expected, their reputation is well-deserved; becoming the top Guild in Fiore Kingdom isn't just talk!"
"Yes, yes, it's truly admirable!"
People on the street excitedly discussed, their eyes fixed on the exciting battle scenes in the preliminary rounds, their faces beaming with joyful smiles.
Who would have thought that it was just the preliminary rounds, and the competition between the various Guilds was already so fierce.
Everyone praised Fairy Tail's performance endlessly, the accolades rising and falling as if they would never stop.
Meanwhile, the remaining five kittens were also overjoyed and having a great time.
"Hahahaha, Laxus is really amazing!" "Look at the punch I threw, isn't it as mighty as Laxus's?"
Among them, Laxus's cat, Tami, was exceptionally excited. She began to imitate Laxus's fighting stance, and from time to time, she would show off to the other cats, saying, "See? Isn't my pose cool?"
Carla glanced at her and gave a rather fair assessment: "Hmm... it does look pretty good!"
She keenly noticed that faint electric arcs still flickered on Tami's swinging fists, and they were full of power.
Simi gazed at Tami with adoring eyes and pleaded, "Tami, can you teach me?"
However, upon hearing Carla praise Tami, Happy felt a pang of jealousy and pouted unhappily.
At the same time, he puffed out his chest and held his head high, putting on a defiant look, then seriously and earnestly swung his fists, muttering, "Hmph, what's so great about that? I can do it too!"
"Don't get cocky, Lily is even more amazing than you, he's a general!" Happy suddenly pointed to Lily, who hadn't said a word.
After speaking, he found Lily trembling all over, not replying to them at all.
"Boom~" Another clap of thunder sounded.
Lily was startled even more, his ears drooped, and he covered his ears with his hands.
"Lily, you're not afraid of thunder and lightning, are you!" Carla seemed to realize something and asked doubtfully.
Lily's body stiffened, as if afraid of being seen through. He lowered his hands, feigning composure.
Boom~
Thunder sounded again, and Lily's body instinctively flinched again.
"Oh~ I didn't expect Lily to have such a cute side!" Happy covered his mouth and chuckled. After all, every cat has something it's afraid of.
Pfft, Carla also laughed.
"You're so loud!" Lily roared in exasperation.
