The flying body directly hit the sticky liquid that was spewing out of its mouth. Although it still made a corrosive sound that made one's teeth ache, it perfectly blocked the flying liquid.
And Rayn, who had quickly adjusted his posture, stopped breathing through his nose and mouth. Like a leopard, he followed the severed body without any pause.
"Clang."
The tip of his sword touched the ground, and sparks flew out as he moved quickly, along with a clanging sound of friction. The speeding body directly tore through the smoke from the corroding body and appeared in front of a Rift Worm.
The rapidly trembling antennae, even without eyes, could tell that its heart was not calm.
Rayn's eyes did not change. He held the greatsword with one hand and swung it up from below. The blade, which had even turned slightly red from the friction, accurately hit its abdomen.
The body, weighing dozens of pounds, immediately curled up like a shrimp and was sent flying by this slash.
"Hiss."
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a black shadow flew over with a sound of breaking through the air. The sharp wind made one have no doubt about its power.
Rayn turned his wrist, and the greatsword that had swung in front of him turned. The blade, which was as wide as two palms, suddenly turned into a 'city wall' and blocked in front of him.
"Clang."
A crisp sound echoed in the square. Rayn put down the greatsword. It was a red 'tentacle,' and its source was from inside the mouth of a Rift Worm.
"A tongue?" he thought curiously, but his actions were not slow at all.
The greatsword stretched forward and spun up, directly wrapping around the tongue that had not had time to retreat.
"Enjoy the windmill!"
A more excited smile appeared on Rayn's lips. Twisting his waist, he used both hands to exert force. The worm's body was directly lifted off the ground. It hit the Rift Worm next to it that was preparing to attack.
He took a step forward, and the magical beast that had been sent flying directly hit the Rift Worm that had been sent flying before.
"Boom."
A dull sound was heard, and the two figures flew into the distance and quickly rolled on the ground.
"Clap."
Disgusted, he swung the greatsword forward, and the broken tongue fell to the ground. Like a snake that was not dead, the red 'tentacle' was still twisting on the ground.
And the Rift Worms also realized that they seemed to be unable to defeat the person in front of them. They no longer chose to fight. The vortex-shaped mouthpart directly fell on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Rayn found that their bodies began to burrow into the ground.
"Trying to run? Don't you think it's too late!"
Holding the hilt with both hands, the blade naturally pointed to the ground. Surging magic power was infused into the greatsword. The blade suddenly glowed with a faint light, and a strong magic wave flashed from it. Even Mystogan, who was in the process of sealing, couldn't help but cast a glance at this time. This mage, who was about the same age as him, actually had such pure magic power. But he quickly looked away and focused on sealing.
Rayn noticed Mystogan's gaze, but didn't care. He just raised his hands slightly.
Then, he slammed it down on the ground.
"Boom."
The magic contained in it entered the ground from the tip of the sword and quickly spread in all directions. The Rift Worms, which had already sunk half of their bodies into the ground, were directly sent flying from the pit as if they had been hit by a repulsive force.
Rayn's eyes suddenly sharpened. His legs were one in front of the other, his knees were bent, his waist was slightly twisted, his arms were horizontal in front of him, and his greatsword was at his left waist. His whole person was like a tight spring.
He stared at the Rift Worms that were starting to fall. He stepped on the ground. His figure suddenly turned into a black shadow and streaked.
"Pfft."
In the dull sound, the black shadow directly shuttled through the falling magical beasts. When Rayn stopped again, his figure was already that of an adult. The longer arm span brought an extremely long attack range. This allowed him to kill all the falling magical beasts in an instant.
He held the greatsword in his hand and pointed it at the ground. The green liquid on the sword slid down and gathered at the tip. The torn body and green blood behind him rained down. The fishy smell instantly filled the square.
"Drip."
A sound like a drop of water was heard, and the scattered limbs fell to the ground.
Rayn turned his wrist and swung the greatsword. The blood and unknown liquid attached to it were directly thrown to the ground, forming a green crescent moon mark.
"Phew."
Exhaling, Rayn also dispelled the Giant Magic, and his figure gradually returned to its original form. He hung the greatsword behind him, and the small magic tool immediately took effect and held it tightly.
"Did he run?" Rayn looked back at the place where the 'Anima' had appeared, but saw that Mystogan had already disappeared. And the distorted space had also returned to calm. Rayn was not surprised by this. In order not to disturb the people of this world, he really did not like to interact with others.
"There's only one magic staff, and the range of 'Anima' is so small. It seems that it has not been long since it started," Rayn thought to himself, recalling the situation he had seen before. Although he knew the general situation, he couldn't go over and kill the king there right away. After all, to go to the world of Edolas, unless he found the Moon Dragon God, he could only pass through the 'Anima.' Of course, if he went now, there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to win.
"Forget it. At least I can solve this mission quickly," Rayn said, throwing the matter of Mystogan to the back of his mind. He also showed a satisfied smile. He had originally thought that he would spend some time on this mission later. He didn't expect that he had solved the root of the problem as soon as he arrived.
"Rayn, are we going to chase that person?" Kanna came to Rayn's side, her eyes sparkling with eagerness. It was obvious that she liked the feeling of 'hunting.'
"No need. He might be a member of the guild later," Rayn said, waving his hand nonchalantly.
The residents in the distance seemed to have noticed that the matter had settled and were walking towards this side. The rising smoke on the side had already dissipated, revealing the ground that had been corroded into an uneven surface.
When he saw this scene, Rayn wanted to run away directly. But before, in order to prevent the residents from entering the battlefield, he had already revealed his name. It seemed impossible to escape now. And he had not yet received the reward for the mission. In fact, if it weren't for him, the losses here would probably have been even greater.
For both emotional and rational reasons, he wouldn't need to pay for it. After figuring this out, Rayn's confidence gradually rose, and he stood still and waited naturally.
And in an alley in the town, Mystogan, who was almost completely wrapped up, was now sitting with his back against the wall, breathing heavily. Although the battle was solved by Rayn, it was also the first time he had sealed the 'Anima,' and the consumption of energy was not small.
"Fairy Tail..."
Raising his head against the wall, Mystogan looked at the night sky above. Thinking of the words that person had shouted and the black mark, he said softly.
