As for Laxus's strongest combat form, which he activated by stacking the Red Lightning Mode and Lightning Dragon King Mode through an emotional means when dealing with Kirin...
Because simultaneously activating two forms puts too much strain on his body, Laxus cannot activate it under normal circumstances.
"What?!"
Gildarts seemed not to have expected Laxus to be so brave, immediately unleashing his strongest attack. He also didn't expect that Laxus, who was originally only at the'strongest human' level, would improve so much after a single battle!
As a result, Gildarts, caught off guard, was forcefully knocked back over ten meters by Laxus's punch, leaving two deep gouges on the ground—the marks of Gildarts' feet sliding on the ground.
"Whew..."
After punching Gildarts away, Laxus's chest heaved continuously, and he gasped for breath. That punch had used up all the magic in his body, yet it still hadn't caused Gildarts too much trouble. This made Laxus helplessly force a bitter smile onto his face: "Uncle, are you a monster?!"
"I wouldn't dare to call myself a monster in front of a kid like you!"
"When I was nineteen, I had just stepped through the threshold of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'...
"It wasn't until I was twenty-five that I reached the level you are at now!"
"Perhaps, in another ten or so years, you might even catch up to where I am now."
The moment Laxus's words fell, Gildarts had, at some unknown point, already moved close to Laxus. He landed a punch on the back of Laxus's head and said softly, "You've done well enough! That punch just now is enough to make my forearm swollen for three or four days."
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by a roar...
Laxus fell heavily to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
"Laxus..."
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild, the three members of the Thunder God Tribe, who had been eliminated by Erza and the others along the way, were now wrapped in bandages. They watched Laxus, who had been knocked down by Gildarts' punch in the crystal ball, and exclaimed in unison.
"Laxus has done very well."
"It must have been tough for him to deal with two monsters like Kirin and Gildarts back to back."
Wraith (Ghost) stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Laxus, who had been knocked down by Gildarts' punch in the crystal ball, his expression showing a hint of shock.
Laxus's strength had already surprised Wraith, but he hadn't expected this person named Gildarts to be even stronger!
In Wraith's memory, the only one who could easily suppress a Mage of Laxus's (Kirin's) level, like Gildarts, was George Leisen, the Guild Master of their Dragon Eater Guild Diabolos.
"Boom!"
In the town, the battle continued...
Ultear and Mirajane, one on the left and one on the right, held ice chains and dark chains respectively, controlling Gildarts' hands.
"Do you two think this can trap me?!"
Gildarts struggled with force. The situation he had imagined, where the chains would easily break, did not happen. Both Ultear and Mirajane's strength had undergone a world of difference from before!
"Gildarts, don't underestimate us!"
"We are also constantly improving..."
Mirajane and Ultear said, simultaneously unleashing their magic.
"Ice Rose Garden!"
"Soul Ripper!!"
The two powerful spells were instantly unleashed towards Gildarts. The terrifying power seemed capable of destroying the entire street!
"Good timing!"
Upon seeing this, Gildarts didn't hesitate at all and directly activated Dragon Force.
"Boom!!"
With a roar...
Gildarts' body was covered in transparent dragon scales, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, and dragon wings unfurled behind him. His entire being seemed to enter a semi-dragon form.
Yes, Gildarts' current Dragon Slayer Magic had reached the level of semi-dragon transformation.
He was only one step away from achieving complete Dragon Slayer Magic, which is full dragon transformation.
"This is..."
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild...
When Kirin, who had been defeated by Laxus and started to doubt his life, saw Gildarts in his half-dragon form through the crystal ball, his pupils slightly contracted.
Unlike Dragon Slayers of other generations!
The Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers, which are those Dragon Eaters who gain Dragon Slayer Magic power by consuming the flesh and blood of dragons, cannot activate Dragon Force.
In other words, Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers can never master Dragon Slayer Magic to its peak!
Because, once they arbitrarily activate Dragon Force, the power of the dragon's flesh and blood they once consumed within their bodies will easily destroy their consciousness, turning them into killing machines that only know how to slaughter!
Even if they regain consciousness one day, they cannot be sure whether the regained consciousness belongs to them, the Dragon Slayers, or to the dragon's flesh and blood within their bodies.
If the dragons whose flesh and blood they once consumed take control of this body, then it is equivalent to those dragons being reborn through their bodies…
Hmm, there is no magic in this world that has shortcuts! Those who enhance their power by consuming the flesh and blood of dragons, although their Dragon Slayer power increases at an incredibly fast rate, far exceeding the First and Second Generations of Dragon Slayers who need to cultivate silently to improve their power! But they have long since secretly paid the price for prematurely obtaining these powerful abilities that did not originally belong to them.
By the way, after Laxus dug out the Dragon Slayer Lacrima of 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexion from his chest, he transformed from a Second Generation Dragon Slayer into a First Generation Dragon Slayer! This means he also gained the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of Dragon Slayer Magic.
Oh, right…
It's actually wrong to say that when Dragon Slayers master Dragon Slayer Magic and become dragons, they become tireless, sleepless, and lose their sense of taste, finding everything they eat like chewing wax!
It's just that when a Dragon Slayer transforms into a dragon, their sense of taste and spiritual power will change from their human state, following the dragons.
For example, 'Flame Dragon King' Igneel, although he cannot distinguish the taste of human delicacies, just like birds cannot taste chili!
But he can distinguish the taste of flames, and for Flame Dragons and Fire Dragons, flames are the greatest delicacy in this world.
Another example is 'Wood Dragon God' Aldoron, who has been sleeping for four hundred years in North Continent Giltena. Dragons can sleep!
It's just that a dragon's spiritual power is too vast, and it requires a bit of skill to consume this spiritual power and fall asleep…
These skills are innate to dragons, but for human Dragon Slayers, systematic learning is required later on!
Otherwise, situations like Eileen and Acnologia in the original story would occur, where they couldn't sleep all day, couldn't taste delicious food, and eventually went mad…
In addition, as Eileen thought of in "100 Year Quest", it is possible to temporarily separate Dragon Force from the body to regain human senses.
And these techniques are not a problem for the current Fairy Tail Guild…
After all, no one in this world understands dragons better than Medivh.
"Boom!!"
Just as Kirin watched the half-dragonized Gildarts in silence, another surge of Dragon Force rose, and Ultear's short hair suddenly turned snow-white, and her entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of frosty white, emitting powerful freezing air all over.
"Hoo…"
Ultear exhaled white mist from her mouth, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. She looked at Gildarts in front of her and softly said, "It's not just you, Gildarts, who can use Dragon Force!"
Although Ultear's Dragon Force had not yet reached Gildarts's level of half-dragonization, she had already progressed far in the path of Dragon Force, reaching a level sufficient to contend with ordinary dragons! Half-dragonization and complete dragonization are only a matter of time.
