Chapter 208 - Some People Are Beyond Saving

In the air, Blue and Red slowly began to fuse, forming a purple orb.

BOOM!!!

Hollow Technique: Purple.

The brilliant purple light rapidly expanded and spread, destroying everything covered by its radiance.

"Waaahhhhhh!"

The light engulfed the Legion Unit.

The powerful impact continually tore apart the Edolas Kingdom's Royal Palace. The structure, which had always been indestructible, now crumbled and crushed like a block of tofu.

Even those on the ground were pressed down by the terrifying shockwave, unable to lift their heads, letting out screams of terror.

The terrifying shockwave spread outwards, centered on the Royal Palace, affecting half the city.

Only after a long time did everything slowly subside.

Whoosh!

Natsu crawled out from the rubble, looking at the scene of destruction before him, utterly speechless from shock.

Crash!

Gajeel also emerged. Seeing the sight before him, the expression on his face froze.

"Th-this monster!"

Gajeel knew Takeshi was a monster, he had realized this during their confrontation. He wasn't even very surprised later when Takeshi defeated Jose, one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

But Takeshi kept refreshing his understanding of him again and again. Just when you thought that was his limit, you realized it was merely a casual attack from him.

Lucy and Wendy also crawled out, equally stunned by the sight before them.

"Didn't he say he wouldn't use a powerful move?!"

Carla had previously heard Takeshi jokingly say he would use Lanza del Relampago to destroy the Edolas Royal Capital in one shot.

During the battle against Oración Seis, she had witnessed Takeshi's Lanza del Relampago, that single shot had destroyed Nirvana.

Although Nirvana was nowhere near as large as the Edolas Royal Capital, Lanza del Relampago's terrifying impact force could definitely wipe the Edolas Royal Capital off the map.

"I... I knew it..."

When Takeshi had said that before, Carla had vaguely seen the image of the Royal Palace being destroyed.

When she saw Takeshi eliminating everyone in the Royal Palace, she thought that was how the Royal Palace would be destroyed by him.

But the current scene was exactly the same as the vision she had vaguely seen.

Takeshi, wasn't joking at all. He genuinely wanted to completely destroy the Edolas Royal Capital.

Panther Lily, Erza Knightwalker, Hughes, and Sugarboy, the Captains of the Magic War Divisions, were all dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

Erza Knightwalker widened her eyes in disbelief. "No... this... how is this possible?! Can a person truly accomplish this?"

She had barely managed to dodge Takeshi's previous attack at the critical moment, but she was still affected by the Repulsive Force and sustained some injuries. She had been planning to get back at Takeshi when she witnessed the scene that just occurred.

Takeshi's attack shattered her understanding of magic. Such immense destructive power could no longer be contained by magical items made of any material.

"Is this the magic of Earth Land..."

Panther Lily stared in shock at the scene before him.

His weapon had been shattered by a single blow from Takeshi previously, and he himself had been severely wounded in just one exchange.

Therefore, he clearly knew how terrifying that man's strength was, yet he realized he had still underestimated him. That strike had erupted in the sky. If it had erupted near the ground, he dared not imagine what the scene would look like.

"Hmm... a monster then..."

Sugarboy looked at Takeshi's figure in the distance and drew his conclusion.

"No... not a monster... a super, super, super monster." Hughes said with an exaggerated look of fear.

"Waaahhhhhh!"

"Monster!"

"Run quickly!"

Many surviving soldiers scattered in panic.

Although they were already very afraid of Takeshi, they originally held the absolute advantage in numbers.

The Mages from Earth Land have finite magic power in their bodies. As long as the opponent's magic power is exhausted, they become no different from ordinary people.

But after this one attack from Takeshi, their fear was completely ignited.

What kind of joke is this! Fight against a monster like that?!

This monster could completely destroy the Royal Capital with a single strike.

Numbers?

Numbers were completely useless in front of a powerhouse like this. If the enemy wished, he could erase every single one of them along with the Royal Capital using that single move.

Just at this moment, missiles were fired toward Takeshi.

Boom... Boom...

Explosions covered the area around Takeshi.

"Takeshi!"

"Takeshi-nii!"

Lucy and Wendy couldn't help but worry when they saw this scene.

Takeshi must have expended a great deal of Magic Power using that move just now, and he might not be able to withstand an attack at this moment.

"None of you are permitted to run!"

A commanding voice rang out.

"That voice... it's His Majesty!"

Erza Knightwalker looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a machine shaped like a dinosaur appear atop the Royal Palace's ruins.

Panther Lily recognized the object. "This is... Dorma Anim."

"His Majesty even brought out this weapon?!" Hughes said in surprise.

This thing consumes a vast amount of Magic Power and even absorbs Magic Power from the atmosphere. Because the magic power in this world is inherently limited, Dorma Anim is classified as a Forbidden Weapon.

"My soldiers! Your King is right here!"

"Ahahaha! The King's power is absolute!!"

"My soldiers! The invaders are only a handful of people, and their Magic Power is limited! That move just now must have consumed a huge amount of their Magic Power, and they won't be able to use it again!"

"As long as we keep attacking, we can completely eliminate the invaders! We are the great Edolas Kingdom, and we cannot allow these invaders to run wild in our Edolas Kingdom!!!"

Faust's echoed throughout the Royal Capital.

"That's right. That move just now must have consumed a massive amount of that guy's Magic Power."

"His Majesty has already deployed the Dorma Anim. Under His Majesty's leadership, we are certain to achieve victory."

"Kill them! Kill the invaders!"

All the fleeing soldiers regained their courage, regrouped, and prepared to launch an attack on Natsu and the others.

Suddenly—

Takeshi's voice rang out in the sky.

"As expected. Some people are beyond saving."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw Takeshi currently floating upside down high above the Royal Capital, his hands tucked into his pockets.
