Zorn's hair, swept back from his head, added a touch of cold sharpness to him, and his eyes became even more sinister.
He said in a teasing tone, "Since Everyone wants to see my strength, then take a good look!" As soon as he finished speaking, the light in his hand suddenly became more intense, and the source of the light rapidly expanded.
Immediately after, countless rays shot out from the light, like a dense downpour of rain.
"Not good!" Jura's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, simultaneously clapping his hands together, his mental power highly concentrated.
Jura cast Multiple Rock Iron Wall: Chain Magic, attempting to protect himself, Wendy, and Sherria.
Bang, bang, bang~ The sounds of impact were incessant.
However, the power of these rays was extremely strong, with each impact producing a dull thud.
Jura found that even his Rock Iron Wall could not withstand this intensity of attack.
"These rays are too powerful; the energy they generate is so immense that my Rock Iron Wall can only withstand three attacks at most before it shatters!" Jura marveled inwardly.
He not only had to fully resist the enemies on the ground but also had to distract himself to send the rock pillars under the feet of those in the air in time, to prevent Lyon, Kagura, Blueno, and others who couldn't use the air for leverage from falling.
But facing such a dense attack, even with the help of Wendy and Sherria, Jura also felt the pressure double, and sweat continuously dripped down his cheeks.
"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted, a powerful magical power erupting from his body, his right fist flickering with flames, directly striking the rays like a burning meteor.
However, when his fist made contact with the rays, a huge force struck, and Natsu's body was instantly sent flying.
Fortunately, Gray, who was nearby, acted in time. He quickly cast magic, creating an ice wall to block Natsu's fall, allowing Natsu to regain his footing.
Natsu looked gratefully at Gray and said, "Thanks, Gray!"
"Damn it! Why can't we sense the direction of the attack? This is too strange!"
Natsu narrowly dodged the ray's attack, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.
"There's only one possibility, and that is that this entire venue is filled with Zorn's Observation Haki!" Gray calmly analyzed, "He's directly crushing us with the level of his Observation Haki!"
After speaking, Gray opened a thick ice wall, attempting to block the ray's attack, but the rays easily penetrated the ice wall in a few hits, continuing to assault them.
Gray quickly dodged and opened another ice wall to protect himself.
"How can this be!! Even Laxus can't do anything?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise, hiding behind a soft pink wool wall.
Her gaze was fixed on the front, where Laxus was struggling to rush forward, but was always unable to break through the blockade of the rays.
Lucy's heart was filled with shock; she hadn't expected that even the powerful Laxus couldn't handle this situation.
"Lady Lucy, I... I can't hold on much longer!" Aries struggled with her hands, as she was borrowing Lucy's magic power, and now her magic power was almost exhausted.
"Aries!" Lucy said worriedly, her own magic power once again flowing towards Aries.
Just then, Juvia materialized from water nearby, rushing forward and shouting, "Lord Gray, Juvia is here to help you~" She transformed into a water arrow, rushing towards Gray's location.
"Juvia! Be careful!" Gray shouted loudly, his heart full of worry. His movements, however, did not stop in the slightest. He quickly brought the ice wall in front of him and rushed towards Juvia at high speed.
"Hey, hey, hey, Gray, did you forget about me?" The exposed Natsu narrowly dodged repeatedly, shouting angrily at Gray.
The moment Gray and Juvia embraced, their magic power resonance frequency instantly aligned, and their magic power surged together.
"Overlay Magic - Water Screen Ice Flower"
The moisture in the air above the sky instantly froze, blocking all of Zorn's rays outside the ice wall.
This change allowed Everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, gaining a moment of respite.
"Aries, you've worked hard, go back!" Lucy slumped onto the stone pillar, her magic power also somewhat depleted.
Gray and Juvia held each other tightly, their magic power continuously pouring into the ice wall, striving to maintain this defense.
Only Juvia's face was covered in a shy blush, almost fainting with happiness.
"I wonder if my gravity magic will work~" Seeing this scene, Kagura's heart stirred. She gripped her unsheathed sword tightly, swung it forcefully, and cut through all the rays in front of her.
At the same time, outside the ice wall, a gravity magic array instantly unfolded, attempting to twist and reduce the attack speed of the rays, and the light-speed rays indeed slowed down slightly.
But Kagura herself felt a heavy sensation, as if her body was being suppressed by an invisible force.
She had to increase the force of her steps, and the stone pillar beneath her began to crack under the pressure.
She couldn't last much longer against the energy carried by the almost countless light-speed rays.
Fortunately, below, Jura, unbothered by the rays, instantly reinforced the stone pillars, and Wendy and Sherria also used all their strength to provide auxiliary power to Everyone.
Blueno's gaze shifted slightly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and rushed without hesitation towards Kagura's location. With his movement, his hands quickly extended, and the black gravity magic array in the sky also unfolded.
In an instant, the speed of the previously rapidly incoming light rays noticeably slowed down a lot.
"You fellow... you're truly beyond my expectations!" Kagura couldn't help but retort, she clearly hadn't anticipated such a move from Blueno.
However, Blueno was completely unmoved, his gaze firm and persistent as he replied, "Don't think too much, to defeat that guy, I am willing to pay any price!" His tone was filled with determination and perseverance.
Just then, Erza suddenly realized something, and she lunged towards Lucy's direction.
"In this situation, only large-scale magic can withstand this wave of attacks!" Erza thought to herself, placing her hand on her head, her eyes firm, and she shouted in her heart: "Everyone, protect Lucy with all your might, use Super Magic—Star Dress!"
These words echoed like a command in Everyone's minds. For a moment, Everyone's gaze focused on Lucy, filled with anticipation and trust.
"Eh eh eh... what!" Lucy's mouth dropped open in shock, completely unprepared to be the center of attention. She widened her eyes, looking at the people around her in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Zorn in the sky looked faintly at the ice wall below, and he nodded at the gravity magic used by Blueno and Kagura.
But he slowly extended his hand, as if watching a good show, and the light in the sky intensified again, dazzling and bright, as if a second sun was rising.
The rays, which had slowed down, suddenly accelerated again, streaking across the sky like a meteor. They struck the ice wall directly with boundless power.
With a loud crash, the ice wall began to crack, and fragments of ice fell like a crystalline rain.
In the audience seats, August's gaze, like two sharp bolts of lightning, pierced through layers of obstacles, shooting directly towards Zorn, revealing a deep gaze and scrutiny.
This gaze seemed to possess an all-penetrating magic, inspiring awe.
"He actually didn't feel any magic fluctuations from that'sun'! How is this possible?" August mused inwardly, greatly surprised by Zorn's performance.
And just then, Zorn seemed to sense August's gaze, turned his head, and gave him a slight smile, his eyes sparkling with confidence and provocation. Their gazes met in the air, instantly sparking intense fire.
