Whoosh!
Takeshi appeared in mid-air, forming hand seals.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!
A blue sphere emerged behind Takeshi's left side.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!
A red sphere emerged behind Takeshi's right side.
"Again?!"
"Didn't the King say he couldn't use it anymore?! Why can he still use it?!"
The soldiers were all in despair at this sight. Earlier, Takeshi had used this move to attack the Legion Unit in the sky, and also wiped out many troops.
But that was just the aftermath. Now, Takeshi's target was clearly them below.
Run away? Could they escape? Impossible!
"It's over!"
Just as Takeshi was about to attack, a voice rang out.
"Takeshi! Wait a minute!"
Takeshi looked up and saw a person riding a giant bird, like an eagle, flying rapidly towards him.
"Mystogan."
Takeshi immediately recognized him, and his attack paused temporarily. Blue and Red floated on either side of Takeshi's body.
"Takeshi, stop! I've already sent the lacrima back to Earth Land through the Anima remnants. Everyone has returned to their original state, everything is over. There's no need to continue fighting." Mystogan said, taking off the mask from his face.
"Prince!"
Panther Lily immediately recognized his identity: the Prince of the Edolas Kingdom.
"Prince?!"
Natsu and the others also heard it.
"Mystogan is the Prince of the Edolas Kingdom?!"
Everyone was very surprised.
Mystogan's identity was very mysterious. He had joined Fairy Tail a long time ago and had become an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail very early on.
He turned out to be the Prince of the Edolas Kingdom.
"Your Highness!"
"Didn't he go missing?!"
"Does the Prince know him?"
The soldiers below couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves.
"Takeshi, I know this incident is the fault of the Edolas Kingdom, but this is my homeland. Please, for the sake of me sending everyone back, show mercy and end this battle."
"Prince…"
The soldiers all felt hope rise upon hearing this. They had already realized that they had provoked an incredible monster this time, a monster capable of destroying their Edolas Kingdom.
"End it?! Who said it's over?! You messed up my kingdom, and you still want to leave?"
At this moment, Faust's voice rang out.
"Your Majesty…"
The soldiers didn't expect that even at this point, Faust still wanted to fight.
"Father… you don't know how powerful Takeshi is. This is just one of the forms he possesses, he has even stronger forms. If he wanted to, he could destroy the Edolas Kingdom at any time." Mystogan immediately urged anxiously.
Although he wasn't particularly close to Takeshi, Takeshi's heroic deeds were widely spread throughout Fairy Tail.
Although the Edolas Kingdom's strength was considerable, it posed no threat to Takeshi.
"I am not your father! I am the King of Edolas! Don't think I don't know, it was you who secretly sealed Anima in Earth Land all these years, which led to no magic power being absorbed. If I take care of you here, no one will seal Anima in Earth Land to hinder me. Then, I can create giant lacrimas again, allowing the Edolas Kingdom to have an endless supply of magic power."
"Your Majesty..."
"Stubborn. Mystogan, you heard him. It's not that I don't want to stop, but that he doesn't want to stop." Takeshi said to Mystogan.
The other party was a member of Fairy Tail and had saved everyone in the guild, so Takeshi would give him some leeway.
"Takeshi, please be merciful. There have already been enormous sacrifices here. If they no longer participate in the battle, can you please spare them?" Mystogan pleaded with Takeshi.
"If they no longer participate in the battle, for your sake, it's not impossible to spare them."
Mystogan's heart rejoiced upon hearing Takeshi say this, and he quickly said to those below, "Everyone! I, as the Prince of Edolas, command you to lay down your weapons! That way, Takeshi will no longer attack you!"
Clatter... Clatter...
Many soldiers, hearing this, immediately laid down their weapons as if granted a great pardon.
"I, as the King of Edolas, command you to pick up your weapons and fight!"
Seeing his army lay down their weapons and surrender to the enemy, Faust felt humiliated.
"This…"
All the soldiers hesitated upon hearing this, as it was the command of the King of Edolas.
"Don't listen to him! Continuing to fight will only be a meaningless sacrifice! You only live once, you must cherish your lives!" Mystogan shouted persuasively.
Takeshi said faintly, "You're not doing it right. Let me do it. You guys, if you don't want to die, then get out of here."
All the soldiers immediately fled upon hearing Takeshi's words.
Takeshi's terror had deeply ingrained itself in their hearts.
Continue fighting? What would they fight him with?
If it weren't for the Prince's appearance, they might have already turned to dust.
Faust was furious to see all the soldiers run away.
"You useless lot! How dare you disobey the King's command!"
"But it doesn't matter. It's all the same with or without you useless lot. I will eliminate all of them!"
"Dorma Anim: Black Sky!"
The outer shell of the Mechanical Dragon turned black.
"Kid, Dorma Anim: Black Sky is a special armor that can increase the opponent's magic consumption several times, and at the same time, it's the ultimate magic weapon that can continuously absorb the world's magic power. No matter how strong you are, you're doomed to lose!"
"Die!!!"
A beam of energy shot out from the muzzle of the Mechanical Dragon's mouth.
Takeshi raised his palm, and Blue rapidly met the energy blast. The energy was quickly swallowed by Blue, disappearing in an instant.
"What?!"
Faust didn't expect the magic he fired to be swallowed.
Takeshi pointed a finger at Faust, and Red shot towards Faust.
Dragon Rider's Spreader Cannon!
A large number of fire blasts shot towards Red.
Boom... Boom...
These blasts couldn't stop Red at all.
Boom!!!
Red blasted a huge crater in the ground.
Faust leaped high, piloting the Mechanical Dragon.
"Wahahahahaha! Missed!"
Suddenly—
Takeshi's voice rang out above Faust's head. "Idiot, it's already over."
