Acnologia stepped forward and crooked a finger: 'Come on. Defeat me or kill me, and you'll prove you're not trash. The infinite clock will naturally return to you then.'
Natsu said with a fighting spirit: 'Let me do it!'
Irene smiled: 'It's rare for Acnologia to be in the mood. Let him go!'
Natsu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. His injuries weren't fully healed yet, so he'd rest a bit.
The three humans and one cat knew how violently Acnologia fought, so they retreated hundreds of meters before stopping.
Tang, clad in armor, strode forward and laughed: 'I'll take you on!'
As he spoke, he charged, holding a spear that unleashed countless green rays.
This was his weapon's ability: anything or anyone touched by the rays would grow or shrink according to his will.
Acnologia watched the barrage of rays and walked forward without dodging. All rays that touched his body were rendered ineffective by his overwhelmingly powerful magic.
He had already reached Tang and said coldly, 'Is this all you've got?'
With that, he raised his fist and slammed it domineeringly against the shield. The terrifying force instantly shattered it, and Tang let out a scream as he was sent flying a thousand meters, crashing hard into the crowd behind.
Everyone watched in shock as Tang's entire arm was pulverized into a mist of blood.
What immense power! And to think Tang's shield had the ability to reflect attacks.
Hughes hurriedly helped the barely conscious Tang up and asked worriedly, 'Are you okay?'
Tang twitched in pain: 'I'm done for. That guy's too fierce. Be careful!'
Bai Luo knew that besides himself, no one present was likely a match for Acnologia. Just one move showed how terrifying he was.
He gave an order, and the giant octopus beneath him swung its tentacles fiercely, creating a howling gale.
Acnologia flashed, avoiding the massive tentacle, and instantly appeared in front of the octopus's head.
'Die!'
A domineering punch stirred up an endless storm, instantly turning the giant octopus head into a rain of blood. Bai Luo and the crowd behind were sent flying by the shockwave, thrown into chaos.
'Kana Roa!'
Bai Luo's face was shocked. He never dreamed Kana Roa would be killed with one punch. He had just used a magic-nullification ability. Could it have been pure physical strength?
'You bastard! How dare you kill!'
Furious, he charged forward immediately, throwing punches.
Acnologia raised a hand to catch the fist and sneered: 'You think I'm playing house with you?'
He kicked Bai Luo in the waist, turning his entire lower body into minced meat. Bai Luo closed his eyes unwillingly.
'Lord Bai Luo is dead!'
'This man is a devil!'
The Legion Troops panicked. Their strongest leader was dead. Was this a nightmare?
Acnologia flashed to the front of the terrified Legion Troops. Looking at Sugarboy in the white suit, he pressed a hand against his panicked head and crushed it domineeringly into a mist of blood.
'Black Purgatory!'
He pressed a hand down, and the ground instantly tore apart and crumbled. The two thousand charging troops uncontrollably fell into the fissures. Then, black light erupted from the cracks, turning everyone to ash before they could even scream.
Finally, only Hughes and the Exceed Sami remained, collapsed on the ground.
She watched Acnologia stride toward her, tears of despair streaming uncontrollably as she scrambled backward: 'Demon! Don't come closer! Don't come closer!'
In just a few minutes, their Legion Troops had been wiped out. This man was a monster!
Acnologia looked at Hughes, who was screaming hysterically in fear, and sneered inwardly. What a pathetic church, thinking they had the right to ask for mercy.
'Go back and tell your Archbishop: if you try to steal the infinite clock, I'll slaughter your entire Sendorfia Church, leaving no one alive!'
'Also, remember to deliver the mission reward to the Fairy Tail Guild. Otherwise, you know the consequences.'
'Yes!'
Hughes didn't dare hesitate for a second. She responded, then hurriedly pulled Sami and ran into the distance, afraid she'd be killed if she stayed a moment longer.
