Everyone who didn't know Takeshi's abilities was astonished. They had seen people fly using wings, but they had never seen anyone fly without them.
Although Faust's attack was sudden, it could not escape the detection of Takeshi's Six Eyes. The moment the attack exploded, he used Teleportation to dodge.
"Hmph! Playing tricks! Disappear, ahhhhh!"
The muzzle of the Mechanical Dragon's mouth aimed at Takeshi. A magic circle opened in front of the muzzle, and an energy beam shot toward Takeshi.
Whoosh!
Takeshi instantly vanished, appearing above the Mechanical Dragon's head.
"You scoundrel! How dare you stand on the head of the most noble King of the Edolas Kingdom!"
Takeshi stomped down.
Boom!
The Mechanical Dragon's head plummeted downwards, crashing into the ground.
"Bastard!"
Faust controlled the Mechanical Dragon to lift its head.
Just then, he saw Takeshi's palm aimed at him.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!
The red sphere struck the Mechanical Dragon's head.
"Waaahhhhh!"
The Mechanical Dragon's massive body flew backward, tumbling across the ground before finally coming to a stop after a moment.
"Huh? This thing is quite sturdy."
"Of course, this is Reinforced Armor. Magic is ineffective against Dorma Anim..."
Buzz!
At this moment, many red alarms lit up in the cockpit.
[Reinforced Armor Damaged!]
[Reinforced Armor Damaged!]
"No! How is this possible?! Magic should be ineffective against Dorma Anim!"
"Magic? Who told you I was using magic? However, this thing is indeed special. It weakened some of the effect of my Cursed Technique. Otherwise, normally, that strike just now should have completely dismantled this thing."
Although Cursed Techniques and magic are different things, they both belong to the mysterious side, and there are naturally some commonalities between them. Takeshi had already noticed this.
Dragon Rider Missiles!
Faust opened the magazine behind him, and many cannon shells shot toward Takeshi.
Takeshi's figure flashed, dodging the shells, but the shells curved and continued tracking toward him.
"Tracking type, huh?"
Swish!
The next moment, Takeshi appeared among the Edolas Kingdom Army.
Seeing the cannon shells tracking toward their location, many soldiers were terrified.
"Run!"
"The shells are coming!"
They hastily tried to flee, but how could a person outrun missiles?
Boom... Boom...
"Waaaaahhhhh!"
A large number of soldiers were submerged by the attack.
Takeshi said, "Oh my. Your King is truly cruel, slaughtering even his own loyal soldiers so carelessly."
Faust roared angrily, "You guys! Are you still watching the show?! Get moving and take out the invaders! If we don't eliminate these guys, the Edolas Kingdom will be completely wiped out!!"
He didn't care about the lives of these soldiers, he could get as many of these guys as he wanted.
If these guys died, he could simply recruit a new batch. Countless people wanted to join the Army.
As long as these invaders were dealt with, it didn't matter if all the soldiers sacrificed themselves.
Hearing the King's command, the four captains of the Magic War Divisions took the lead and rushed toward Takeshi.
Natsu and Gajeel continued attacking Faust.
Panther Lily charged in front of Takeshi, swinging a fist toward Takeshi's face. The fist stopped right next to Takeshi's cheek.
Sugarboy swung his sword from behind, slashing toward Takeshi's neck, but the sword also stopped around Takeshi's body.
"Take this! Franken Knuckle!"
Frankenstein reached out its hands to grab Takeshi. The hands were unable to approach closer than twenty centimeters around Takeshi.
Erza Knightwalker seized this opportunity, thrusting her spear toward Takeshi's face. The spear stopped approximately twenty centimeters from Takeshi's eyes.
"Explosion!"
Erza Knightwalker shouted.
The spear transformed, emitting a bright light.
Panther Lily and Sugarboy immediately retreated.
Boom!
The explosion erupted violently.
"Did we get him?!"
The few people nervously stared at the location of the explosion.
Soon, Takeshi's figure appeared.
Seeing Takeshi completely unscathed, their eyes couldn't help but fill with despair.
Could such a monster truly be defeated by a human?
Takeshi raised his palm, and a blue sphere appeared in his hand, swallowing Frankenstein behind him.
The next moment.
Takeshi appeared in front of Hughes and slammed a punch into Hughes' abdomen.
"Ugh!"
"Hughes!"
Sugarboy prepared to swing his sword, only to realize that the sword in his hand had vanished sometime earlier.
Takeshi said flatly, "A sword is not meant to be used like that."
Pfft!
Sugarboy's armor shattered, and a wound gushed blood on his body.
"What incredible... swordsmanship..."
Sugarboy collapsed.
"You bastard!"
Panther Lily was about to speak when Takeshi pressed his palm onto Panther Lily's abdomen.
"Oh no!"
Bang!
A powerful repulsive force burst forth from Takeshi's palm.
"Waaah!"
Panther Lily's body flew backward, crashing into the ruins.
Saint Spear, Ravelt!
Erza Knightwalker used the strongest form of the Ten Commandments.
Takeshi raised his palm, and Infinity blocked the opposing spear.
"Aaaahhhhh!!!" Erza Knightwalker roared in fury.
She refused to believe that her spear couldn't do anything to Takeshi.
Under Erza's exertion, the spear continuously closed in on Takeshi. Seeing that she had finally broken through his defense, Erza Knightwalker was overjoyed. If she exerted just a little more strength, perhaps she could kill him.
Takeshi was utterly indifferent. "Naive."
This spear possessed the ability to partially nullify Infinity, but it was only partial. Even if it was only for a split second, it was enough for Takeshi to perform more maneuvers.
Takeshi pointed the index finger of his other hand toward Erza Knightwalker.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!
"Not good!"
Erza Knightwalker immediately pulled back the spear and used the shaft to block.
The red sphere struck the spear shaft.
Crack!
"The Saint... the Saint Spear actually..."
This was a weapon forged by the top craftsmen, yet it shattered just like that.
"Waaaaahhhhh!"
Erza screamed as she crashed into the ruins of the royal palace.
At this moment, Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy were entangled in a fight with Faust and were already at a disadvantage.
The soldiers were currently surrounding Lucy and Wendy, and the two were starting to struggle.
"It's time to put a stop to this battle."
"Happy, Carla, take Lucy and Wendy and leave! I'm clearing the field!"
"What?!"
Happy and Carla were startled by the command.
They immediately grabbed the two and flew away at top speed, terrified that if they ran too slowly, they would be done for the next second.
"Run fast!"
Natsu and Gajeel also abandoned their attack on Faust when they heard Takeshi's words, turning tail and running without a second of hesitation.
