"Gwahhhhh!!"
"Waaaaah!!"
Mest and Wendy were both blown away by the shockwave generated from this violent explosion.
"Kael!"
Wendy was immediately very worried when she saw Kael swallowed by the explosion.
"It's over!"
Mest saw Kael submerged in the blast and knew Kael was finished. Kael had been far too careless. With such terrifying explosive power, Kael had definitely been killed.
"Hmph! Not using your strongest transformation, you lacked a sense of crisis. No matter how strong you are, you will always pay for your carelessness with your life."
Azuma turned his gaze toward Mest and Wendy: "You two disappear as—"
"Hey, hey! I haven't been taken out yet, don't go settling the score on your own!"
Kael walked out from the smoke, appearing completely unscathed.
"What?!"
Mest and Azuma were both greatly shocked to see that Kael was actually unharmed after that kind of explosion.
"That's great! Kael, you're okay!"
Kael smiled and said, "What could possibly happen to me? An attack of this level can't hurt me at all. Did you forget my ability?"
Only then did Wendy remember that when Kael fought the Oración Seis back then, the magic of the Oración Seis hadn't been able to hurt Kael either.
"What is going on?"
Azuma looked at Kael with a serious expression.
"Hmm... to put it simply, you didn't hit me."
"That's impossible! I saw the explosion erupt on your body with my own eyes, and you were within the blast radius. It's impossible to dodge?!"
Azuma immediately denied it. He was absolutely certain that his magic had already struck Kael.
"Well... although there isn't really a need to perform a 'Technique Disclosure' for you, since Wendy is a bit confused, I'll explain. What you touched was the 'Infinity' between you and me."
As Kael spoke, he made a small gesture with his fingers.
"?"
Azuma was somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand the meaning of what Kael said. However, since the other party was explaining it to one of his own people, he probably wasn't lying.
"I'll show you. Put your hand out."
Kael said as he defenselessly raised his right palm.
Although Azuma didn't know what trick Kael was playing, he also wanted to know what the opponent's magic was.
Azuma raised his left palm and moved it toward Kael's palm. As a result, when it was about four or five centimeters away from Kael's palm, his hand stopped. It was as if an invisible wall stood between their two hands; no matter how much force he used, he could not get closer.
"What's happening?! I can't touch him!! It's clearly right in front of me, yet I can't touch it. This is Infinity?"
Kael explained: "This isn't a stop, nor is it a barrier. It's just that the closer you get to me, the slower you become. Your speed gradually approaches zero. The impact of the explosion became slower the closer it got to me, so naturally, it couldn't hurt me."
"To think there was such a magic!"
Mest was extremely surprised. If that was the case, wouldn't the enemy's attack magic be unable to strike him at all? Wouldn't this guy be invincible?
Swish!
Azuma immediately retreated with caution.
"You make it sound very impressive, but I don't believe your magic has no weakness!!"
Azuma was one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart, after all. He had seen many powerful magics. Although he hadn't seen one like Kael's, he knew that there was no such thing as an invincible magic in this world.
"Yeah! My magic actually isn't that hard to break. A sufficiently powerful magic can break through my defense net faster, or I might be unable to use this technique for some reason, or perhaps my magic power is insufficient."
Azuma's eyes narrowed slightly: "You're just going to tell your weakness to the enemy like that?"
Kael spread his hands and smiled, saying, "It doesn't matter! Because... you are very weak!"
"What did you say?!!"
Azuma's face changed upon hearing this. He was one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, roaming the Ishgar continent and rarely finding a match. Yet, Kael actually said he was weak.
Immediately after, a large number of trees surged out from the ground, winding toward Kael's body.
In the blink of an eye, Kael's body was tightly wrapped in layer upon layer.
"Terra Clamare!!"
BOOM—————!!
The trees trapping Kael acted like bombs, violently erupting with a terrifying explosion.
"Kael!!"
Seeing this terrifying explosive power, even though Wendy knew Kael's magic was very strong, she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"This guy... why is he so arrogant!"
Mest's face was also very ugly. This guy Kael was simply too arrogant. This was Grimoire Heart, the Seven Kin of Purgatory—and this was just one of them. The strength was simply too terrifying.
"Was he taken out?"
Azuma, Wendy, and Mest all stared intently at the center of the explosion.
Azuma and Mest wanted to confirm if Kael had been killed, while Wendy was worried about whether Kael was injured.
Soon, the smoke from the explosion cleared. Kael was still standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking completely nonchalant.
"Kael!"
Wendy was very happy; Kael was not injured.
"No! How is this possible! Even the Terra Clamare didn't hurt you?!"
Azuma stared with wide eyes in disbelief. This was his strongest magic, yet it hadn't even scratched this guy. Was this guy a monster?
Mest was also frightened at this moment. He knew Kael was a monster, even defeating the Ten Wizard Saint Jose, but he never expected his strength to be this terrifying.
The power of Azuma's attack this time was clearly many times greater than the move used to destroy the Magic Council's warship, yet it hadn't harmed Kael in the slightest.
"Is this your strongest magic? The power is decent. If you put in a bit more effort, maybe you could break my defense. You've been attacking for a while now; it's about time I made a move."
Azuma immediately became alert upon hearing this.
Kael raised his palm and muttered calmly:
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"
A Blue sphere formed in Kael's palm.
"Folium Sica!"
Azuma immediately used his own magic.
Countless leaves flew toward Kael.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, all the leaves were sucked toward the Blue sphere.
"What?!"
Kael controlled the Blue sphere to fly toward Azuma.
Azuma immediately controlled the surrounding trees to meet the Blue sphere.
Crack! Crack!
A large number of trees were all attracted and crushed by the Blue sphere. With great difficulty, Azuma finally managed to exhaust the attraction of the Blue sphere.
"Not bad! You've got some skill after all. Then how about this!"
Kael waved his palm, and eight Blue spheres formed in front of him.
"Damn it!"
Azuma's face changed drastically when he saw a total of eight Blue spheres. He had already struggled to deal with just one Blue sphere; wouldn't dealing with eight be even more of a problem?
Kael pointed his finger at Azuma, and the eight Blue spheres flew rapidly toward him.
Azuma also immediately controlled the surrounding trees to meet them.
Crack! Crack!
As soon as the trees touched the Blue spheres, they were devoured by the gravitational pull.
